Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 201 New Intelligence: Conspiracy with the Green Dragon
After listening to Chief Medical Officer Selina's narration, Su Li felt heavy-hearted. Chief Medical Officer Galahad's death was undoubtedly heroic and brave.

What is even more tragic is that countless soldiers died heroically in this battle like him.

This battle basically requires every family in Hessen Town to wear mourning clothes.

Su Li bravely held on and said to Medical Director Selina, "Knight Galahad's death is a loss to all of us. But his heroic and fearless performance allowed the glory of the Goddess of Healing and Mercy to shine upon the world. He perfectly practiced the Goddess's teachings."

After comforting them, Su Li asked what he was most concerned about: "Have you, the Medical Knights and the Church of the Dawn Goddess, counted the casualties of this battle?"

Selina nodded gently and said, "The Goddess of Medicine has compassionately cared for the soldiers suffering in this battle. We have done our best to treat the wounded. However, the casualties in this battle are simply too great, nearly a thousand casualties, which is beyond our capabilities."

Su Li felt his vision go dark. Nearly a thousand casualties?!
This loss is too heavy!

According to the most optimistic estimate, the number of households in Hesse is no more than 1000. Based on the standard calculation of one household with five people, there are only more than 800 registered households, which is just a slightly larger village.

As a result, in such a large village, there were more than 1000 casualties in one day?

Not to mention the Hospital Knights of Hesse, even the Terraheim Cathedral in the capital wouldn't be able to save him, right?
It is the largest temple of the goddess of healing and mercy, Shaurya. It is not only gorgeously decorated but also holy in appearance. It is the emperor's royal hospital and also the largest obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the empire.

Su Li immediately asked with concern: "What is the specific situation? How many people were killed or seriously injured?"

Selina's expression was solemn and dignified as she spoke slowly, "There are approximately 300 soldiers killed, over 200 seriously injured, and 400 to lightly wounded. But if there aren't enough potions and herbs, the condition of dozens more seriously injured soldiers will worsen, bringing the total number of casualties to nearly ."

400 people were killed directly, which is an extremely terrifying number.

Fortunately, the monsters opened up relatively few gaps in this battle, and a large number of the wounded were arrow wounds, especially the free people. Their armor was not as good as that of the knights, so they were easily shot by arrows.

But don't think that the knights were in a much better situation. On the contrary, they were in an even more tragic situation. The knights and armed squires were well-equipped, so they were directly deployed on the front lines of the war. It was they who withstood the monsters' fiercest attacks and minimized the casualties of this battle. The price they paid was that their casualties were extremely heavy.

This is the characteristic of cold weapon warfare. The number of soldiers who die from close combat is far greater than the number who die from long-range bows and arrows, unless the enemy uses magic.

Su Li felt dizzy. He leaned on the chair and sat down, rubbing his brow in pain. He thought seriously for a moment, then said firmly, "Save them at all costs! No matter how much medicine is consumed or how much wealth is lost, we cannot let these soldiers die in despair and helplessness."

Orstein immediately stepped forward anxiously, clenching his fists and arguing, "My Lord, there's no problem using herbs to treat the wounded. But we can't easily use up the healing potions. These are our most important strategic reserves. We must use them on our remaining soldiers to ensure they can win the next battle."

"If we use these strategic reserves to treat the wounded, there won't be enough supplies for the next battle. How can we guarantee victory in the next battle?"

Su Li couldn't help but clench his fists. This was really a dilemma!

Saving these wounded soldiers would mean that the knights would have more wounded soldiers in the next battle, and it would also seriously affect the army's combat effectiveness, leading to defeat in the next battle.

But if we don't save these wounded soldiers, they will die in large numbers, and their morale might even be shaken.

The world is full of despair and there is no perfect solution like in fairy tales.

Everyone looked at Su Li nervously, waiting for his decision.

Dogrin's eyes widened, and he swallowed nervously. He was of course hoping Su Li would come up with a potion to save people. A quarter of the casualties and wounded in this battle were dwarves, and many dwarves lay in agony in the wounded camp. A healing potion could save a dwarf from death.

Ron and Orstein hoped Su Li would be reasonable. The outcome of the battle was still uncertain. These potions were crucial to the remaining knights' combat effectiveness. They essentially represented the entirety of the Hessen Territory's strategic reserves, medical supplies accumulated over several months. Once they were exhausted, the territory would no longer have time to stockpile them.

Su Li rubbed his eyebrows and felt overwhelmed.

He gradually realized why his head hurt so much. It was most likely because he hadn't slept for too long and hadn't looked through today's intelligence.

But it's probably too late, and he needs to make a decision now.

Su Li pondered for a moment, then stood up and issued a decision to everyone: "Do your best to treat the wounded! We may encounter other opportunities in the future decisive battle. If these wounded miss tonight, they may have no hope of survival."

"After returning to the territory, I will build a large temple for your Medical Knights in Hessen Town. It must be tall, holy, and magnificent. It will become the largest and most sacred hospital in the territory. This will allow you to treat even more wounded people."

Hearing Su Li's decision and promise, Doglin and Selina were pleasantly surprised and quickly expressed their gratitude.

Ron and Orstein sighed, unable to question Su Li's decision. Perhaps it was indeed as the Lord had said, that the Territory was least afraid of leaving things for the future. As long as the Territory was given time, there would always be ample opportunities to change everything.

After they all said goodbye and left, Su Li asked Hildurd, who was standing behind him and gently rubbing his head, "Hildurd, do you think my choice was right? If it were you, what would you choose?"

Hildreth gently controlled the force with his fingers, so that Su Li did not feel at all that a powerful God-chosen knight was massaging his acupoints.

It must be said that the control ability of this God-chosen Knight is indeed unparalleled, and she has adapted well to her powerful physique.

Unlike Orstein, when he entered the room just now, he held on to the door frame with his hand, but without realizing it, he grabbed a large piece of wood from the door frame in an instant.

If it were him, Su Li would not dare to let him rub his temples, for fear that his entire head would shatter like a watermelon.

Hild was in control of this aspect very well. Even when she was most excited, she hugged Su Li like an octopus and did not hurt him at all.

Hearing Su Li's question, she said softly, "How can there be a perfect solution in this world? You have chosen a direction and are working hard at it. It is enough to have a clear conscience. Who among all the people in this room today can guarantee that if they were in your position, their decision would be more correct than yours?"

This gentle comfort really made Su Li feel much better.

In the past, Su Li would have been completely absorbed in his training with Hilde. He always had a fallback plan: at worst, he could abandon everything and wander the world with Hilde. With the power of his daily intelligence system, he could surely make a comeback. As long as the empire survived, and given time, in a few years, he could expand his territory to a scale comparable to that of the current Hessen Territory.

But when everything in the entire Hesse Territory fell on his shoulders, and every decision he made was related to the lives and deaths of countless people, and the joys and sorrows of countless families.

He realized that his previous thoughts were too naive.

By now, the Hesse Territory and everything in it were no longer something he could easily give up.

He carries the hopes of countless people on his shoulders. When he fights, everyone follows. He carries the responsibility of countless people to change the suffering of this land. The feeling of carrying this heavy burden is that everyone eagerly awaits his every word.

This land is not only his home, but also the hometown that countless people who follow him are willing to defend with their lives.

At his feet were the corpses of the martyrs and the blood of the loyal soldiers.

How could he give up so easily?
Hildurd comforted him, saying, "My Lord, I will help you relax. Please rest for a while. Perhaps the intelligence will reveal whether your decision was correct, and the information will provide guidance for your future."

"That makes sense." Su Li nodded and looked at the time. His daily intelligence system had not been activated yet and he couldn't waste it.

As Su Li finished washing up and lay down on the quilt, Hildreth soon came back from outside the camp. She had specially changed into a high-slit nun's dress. It was obvious that she had just noticed where Su Li's gaze was focused.

Then she knelt directly on the bed and began to assist Su Li in his knight training.

This made Su Li feel happy. Few nobles could enjoy the service of a female knight chosen by God!

And Hildur's level of mischief has obviously improved greatly.

As time went by and they fell in love, she became the person who understood Su Li the best, no doubt about it.

Under the powerful cultivation service of this God-chosen knight, Su Li quickly relaxed and exhaled a deep breath.

While Hildur was helping him wash and clean himself up carefully, the daily system reminder sounded on time.

[Since you are in a lying state, today's prophet information has been updated. ]

[1: The white terror of Surand Province has spread outward. Although your territory is thousands of miles away from Surand Territory, while you were engaged in a fierce battle with the Green Dragon's followers, the nobles of the Surand Provincial Council have issued a bounty for the assassination of Clan Eshin's Executioner Guild. Four Chosen assassins will enter your territory to kill Phyllis. Beware! Shrouded in shadow and mystery, Clan Eshin is the most nefarious of the ratmen. From their past encounters with the Far East, they have mastered the art of mysterious killing, earning them a fearsome reputation as killers. They are silent stalkers who can easily penetrate fortifications and evade any number of guards or traps to reach their targets. For the right price, Clan Eshin will kill any opponent, steal any information, or carry out any sabotage. No warlord wants to be the target of their despicable contracts; the mere mention of their black-clad assassins is enough to send anyone squinting in fear.]

[2: Despite your generous bounty, some armed servants couldn't resist the temptation of a huge profit. Relying on their long-term experience stationed at the border outpost and their familiarity with the complex terrain, the armed servants of the third squad of the garrison hid a large piece of vibranium from a giant's club in the tunnel beneath the arrow tower they were responsible for defending. It is imperative that you retrieve this piece of pure vibranium promptly to prevent the loss of 80 kilograms of vibranium.]

[3: Northwest of the Bloodpine Forest, near the Brienne River Valley, lies the Bloodmist Hills, the resource center of the Bloodpine Forest. Just as Lake Ravelin is the most dazzling pearl on the Central Plains, it also forms the backbone of the evil forces within the Bloodpine Forest. Capture this area and you will gain access to the Firespinel, Crystal, and Mithril mines within it. Actively construct a Stormshadow Fortress here, overlooking key areas within the Bloodpine Forest, such as Silver Valley, Flower Language Spring, and Lake Essonide, forming a sharp dagger against the green dragon's rule. The best defense is offense. It's time to prepare for a counterattack! Where the enemy goes, so can I. This attack will clearly teach the green dragon that from now on, offense and defense will be interchangeable!]

[4: Recently, rumors have been circulating in the taverns of Hessen Town about a place called the Windtalker Valley, where a group of mysterious storm elves live. By establishing a connection with them, one can more easily awaken the wind attribute bloodline. This is a lie spread by the gambling priests of the deception god Lanold. They are gathering there to overthrow the tyranny of the nobles. Perhaps you can send an army to follow those fanatical adventurers and find this rebel stronghold.]

……

[7: 30 miles southeast of Mirror Swamp, there's a swamp strider. This massive beast, resembling a giant mantis, accidentally entered the mortal realm from the Beast Realm. It has six tall legs, two of which are covered in spikes and thick carapace. The cilia on its legs can spread out on the water surface to increase its contact area, allowing the swamp strider to easily glide across difficult swamps and mires. In terms of personality, it is known for its docility, communicating primarily through clicks and hisses. You can dispatch troops to capture this beast promptly. Due to its docile nature, these creatures are often used as pack animals and vehicles. This can significantly improve your territory's transportation capabilities.]

[8: A silt beast has been born in the ditch numbered 25-116 in your Bjorn's Cove. Dispatch the Druids of the Church of the Dawn to appease it and the frightened serfs, preventing the frightened slaves from violently killing the beast. It can help dredge ditches and rivers, and by digesting silt and converting it into clay, it is a favorite beast among dwarven engineers.]

[9: Your compassion and kindness towards the wounded tonight have earned the praise of the Goddess of Healing and Mercy. Shalya has decided to reward you and your territory for your long-standing support and assistance to the Church of Medicine. A powerful Knight of the Church of Medicine will arrive in your territory with dozens of Medical Sisters. Please dispatch soldiers along the Blackwater River to receive them. They will help you build a temple to the Goddess of Healing and Mercy, and assist the powerful Knights of the Goddess of the Blazing Sun in maintaining order in the southern borders of the empire.]

[10: The young green dragon, Wings of Deceit, Alyria Erebus, is extremely cunning. It predicts that the combined forces of humans and dwarves will become complacent and unprepared after repelling the Wyvern King's army. Tonight, it will dispatch a powerful legion of centaurs to raid your camp! You can set up an ambush and annihilate this most agile of the green dragon's minions in one fell swoop. If you can kill at least 70% of them, the green dragon will become wary and will gather its forces more cautiously, delaying its attack by at least one cycle. If you can completely annihilate this legion, leaving no monsters behind, the green dragon will become extremely wary of you and may even postpone its attack until it has a better understanding of your situation.]

After reading the information, Su Li suddenly stood up, his whole body tensed, his heart beating as fast as a drum.

He is still terrified now. If it weren't for the assistance of this intelligence system, he would have been successfully attacked by the Green Dragon!

He also didn't expect that after being defeated in a battle, the green dragon continued to cunningly and insidiously send out a mobile cavalry unit to launch a night attack on him!
Is it a dragon version of Cao Cao? Even Cao Cao isn't as sinister and treacherous as it is.

It’s simply hard to guard against.

Hildre's eyes fixed, and he immediately raised his head, looked at Su Li, and asked, "Lord, what did you see?"

Su Li quickly calmed down and said, "I foresee the green dragon's sinister plan. An overwhelming number of centaurs will pour out of the forest and overwhelm our camp."

Hildrede calmly continued to help Su Li clean himself. After he was clean, she gently patted Su Li's limp calf and said calmly, "My Lord, don't be nervous. Please have faith in Marshal Orstein. As a powerful God-chosen Knight, he is impeccable in deploying troops and maintaining vigilance and defense. Even after the war, he will arrange sufficient guards."

Su Li was of course confident in Orstein's stability. Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible to raid the camp he had defended.

But the situation is special now!
After a day of fierce fighting, the camp was in tatters, all defensive facilities were almost completely destroyed, and even two huge gaps appeared in the city wall. It was not a place suitable for defense.

This means that if there is no large-scale organized defense by the army, and only a few or a dozen sentries are on guard, they will not be able to stop the overwhelming Centaur cavalry. Hundreds or thousands of Centaur cavalry will come like a tide and will instantly break through the defense line of these sentinels and rush into the military camp.

Under normal circumstances, how could Frederick arrange hundreds of soldiers to guard the gap in the city wall without rest at night?

Therefore, if the Centaur Cavalry really launched a night attack, they would definitely achieve success.
