Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 140 The God-Chosen Demon Appears
Star Armor?
Hearing Dogrin's high-pitched voice, Su Li also became excited.

Of course he had heard of this kind of armor.

This is the iconic dwarven armor, a masterpiece from the Dragon Rock Forge.

The Dragonstone Forge is a dwarven wonder building, a sacred legacy from their ancestors.

Equipment crafted from there can increase the equipment level by +1.

For example, the equipment made of vibranium by ordinary dwarves can only reach the perfect level, but the equipment produced from it can reach the rare level!

Ordinary equipment made by ordinary dwarves can only reach the excellent level, but the equipment forged from it can reach the exquisite level. Even without the use of vibranium, the powerful forging ability can forcibly give the equipment a rune.

Star Iron Armor is the iconic fine armor of the dwarves, also known as Silver Stone Armor or Unforged Armor by humans.

This equipment, made of high-strength star iron, is considered by them to be the strongest and most durable in the world. Armor forged from pure star iron is highly sought after for its excellent defensive properties. Such a set of armor is an extremely valuable heirloom, and many of them can be traced back to the Golden Age.
Su Li immediately asked with concern: "My friend, how many sets of Star Iron Armor did you bring?"

Muradin said proudly, "We have brought a full 120 suits of Star Iron Armor! If you put on this powerful armor, even the demonic magic will be unable to cause much damage to your army."

"Because each set of armor has our Dwarven Iron Wall's [Lava Shield] rune, which increases the wearer's protection level by 1, just like adding another layer of steel and silver shield outside the armor."

After hearing this, Su Li's heart was instantly moved.

If he could get these 120 sets of star iron armor, it would greatly improve the defensive capabilities of his knights, or even double it.

Imagine a soldier wearing heavy armor and holding a steel shield in his hand. What kind of firepower can penetrate this protection?
I'm afraid that even the crossbow fired from the crossbow cart cannot penetrate this kind of protection in one shot.

Even if the dwarves fired dozens of concentrated shots from their muskets, they might not be able to penetrate the heavily armored soldiers hiding behind their fine steel shields.

To deal with such a powerful heavily armored knight, we must use artillery bombardment.

And all this can be achieved with just a set of star armor.

Even among the dwarves, not every warrior possesses such powerful armor.

After all, the dwarf army is a combination of soldiers and civilians, and their lords are not responsible for providing equipment for the soldiers.

In this respect, dwarves and halflings are somewhat similar. Dwarves holding miners' picks and hammers serve as soldiers in wartime and carry out production in peacetime.

These distant cousins ​​have many similarities, for example, they both have a good relationship with humans and like to live in human territory.

The only difference is that dwarves usually engage in industry and mining, while halflings engage in commerce and agriculture.

Su Li is now looking forward to the dwarves being able to immediately engage in production and help him produce a batch of heavy plows to expand the arable land area in the Hessen Territory.

If Bjorn's Bay could be developed on a large scale, it would become Su Li's granary. Not only would he no longer have to worry about food problems, he would also be able to export large quantities of food to supply the surrounding territories.

By then, he could establish good relations with the mountain dwarves with just food and become the granary of this area.

By then, he will have a good harvest in a certain season, and the vast territories around him will have no worries about food.

Su Li is very eager to achieve all this, but at the moment, it seems that there are still some problems that need to be solved if he wants to farm.

The dwarves brought so many troops, it was obvious that they were not going to farm.

So he asked Dogrin, "Why did you bring so many troops? Are you going to start a war against the demons right away?"

Muradin's rough face flushed a little, and he grunted for a long time without saying anything.

Fortunately, Dogrin had more dealings with humans than anything else. He laughed a few times and said, "Don't worry, my friend. Our army needs some time to train and adapt with you before we can go and besiege the evil demons."

Take some time to adapt?

Su Li was stunned at first, but then he realized that in other words, the dwarf just wanted to stay in Heisen for a few days.

Su Li couldn't help but frown, looking at the two dwarves with very different expressions.

After a pause, he asked, "Do you want to... prepare for battle?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Muradin immediately brightened up and said in a high-pitched voice, "That's exactly what we mean. Our big friends are still more cultured."

It is normal to prepare for war before a battle.

But for dwarves, it's not so normal.

Su Li seriously suspected that they had come to Heisen Territory to restore their physical strength.

It is well known that there is a shortage of food in Redbeard Castle. It can be said that these dwarves are not in good condition and are in a state of loss.

If there were health bars, each of their squadrons would be at half health.

If they go to war with the demons under such circumstances, firstly they will not be able to exert their strong combat power, and secondly they will easily suffer casualties.

Therefore, they took the opportunity of the alliance with the Hesse Lord to replenish their status.

Su Li asked, "Have you learned anything about the demons' situation?" Doglin nodded, "Our dwarf rangers have found the demon army in the mountains. They are heading towards the mountains to gather the surrounding beastmen."

Su Li frowned and asked, "Did they really dig out the demon?"

"That's right, a great demon of the God-chosen level, more than twenty meters tall, extremely terrifying."

A demon chosen by God!
Su Li took a deep breath. This was an existence that could tear a dragon apart with its bare hands.

Fortunately, the dwarves were at the front, otherwise the Hessen Lords alone would not be able to resist such a powerful demon.

With a height of over twenty meters, it is comparable to the state of the God-Chosen Knight after activating the divine majesty.

Just standing there, it was already taller than the current height of Hesseburg's city walls. It could be said that even if Hesseburg defended its city walls, it could not stop this powerful demon.

The powerful Cyclops, a unit of orcs and beastmen, is much shorter than it.

Fortunately, the place where it appears is always in the gray mountains.

There wasn't much information about it in the daily intelligence system, which was actually a good thing, as it meant it wouldn't be targeting Hessen Territory for the time being.

The vast Crimson Highlands blocked its sight from the Black Forest Territory. When there were targets to kill in the Gray Mountains, it was temporarily not interested in crossing the vast Crimson Highlands to look for a human territory at the foot of the Black Forest Mountains.

Although it is a God-chosen-level existence, given the current crisis-ridden state of the empire, the threats posed by the God-chosen-level existence are countless. As long as its activities are limited to other provinces, it poses no threat to the Hessen Territory, and the daily intelligence system will not have much information about it.

There is no doubt that the dwarves are the main force against this demon army at the moment, and the Hessen Lord only plays the role of an auxiliary to the coalition forces.

So Su Li asked with concern: "Are you confident in fighting against this God-chosen demon?"

"Of course," Muradin said proudly. "Our powerful legion of dwarven warriors will defeat this cultist and exile the demons. As long as we are in good condition, the demonic army will never be able to break through our powerful dwarven shield formation."

"So how do you plan to deal with this powerful God-chosen demon?"

Muradin said confidently, "We have the Spite Crossbow, engraved with the Rune of Fraxon's Quest. This rune once slew a powerful dragon."

Su Li had an impression of this rune. Boros had mentioned this rune to him specifically before. It was the pride of the dwarves.

If everything is as Muradin said, then they do have some confidence in dealing with the demons.

Never underestimate the fighting power of the dwarves. Once these iron pillars wearing heavy armor form a shield formation and guard a high ground, their fighting power will be extremely powerful.

The demon army may not be able to defeat them.

And the key is that dwarves not only have mining picks and war hammers, they also have a large number of detonator miners and thunder gunners!
Gunpowder is a supernatural power that only dwarves in this world can use.

They have no divine arts or magic, but they possess powerful runes and gunpowder.

When two armies are at war, detonator miners can demoralize their opponents before they even engage them.

On the battlefield of fierce fighting, hundreds of Thunder Gunners fired their muskets, and ordinary enemies could not withstand it at all.

Those timid goblins and goblins would be scared away just by hearing the thunderous sound.

When it comes to positional warfare, dwarves are always trustworthy.

Human knights love to fight against the dwarven army, because the dwarves are much more reliable than their armed servants. They can firmly hold the line and even defeat the enemy, creating the best opportunity for them to charge.

However, since the matter was led by the dwarves, Su Li did not pay much attention to it. His army was still clearing out the Green Dragon's followers in the Blood Pine Forest.

Facing the God-chosen demons, he was only an auxiliary to the legion.

But when facing the God-chosen green dragon, he has to be the main force!
After settling the dwarves, Su Li's pressure increased sharply.

To be honest, it is not an easy task to feed more than a thousand dwarves.

The farmland reclaimed in the early days of the Hesse Territory was only about 2,000 acres. Even though some grain was stored by fishing and hunting, with more than a thousand mouths to feed, the food was consumed rapidly every day.

The food in the warehouses and the fish in the reservoirs are rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He had stored less than 70,000 kilograms of grain in total. If he ran out of food, he could only sustain 3,000 people for three or four days by letting them eat as much as they wanted.

But as the pressure increased sharply, the help brought by these more than a thousand dwarves was also unparalleled!

Su Li is a man of conscience. He would never complain about how much wealth the dwarf gluttons have eaten up and ignore their contributions.

You have to know that dwarves are all honest and simple in character, and these alcoholic miners are not as cunning as their distant relatives, the halflings.

It is not in their character to just eat and not do anything, as that would seriously tarnish their honor.

They had only been in the territory for a few days, but they had already brought unparalleled changes to the territory!

Su Li deeply realized the infrastructure strength of the dwarf engineering masters and the meaning of strength in numbers.
