Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 40: The Grand Blueprint of the Territory

After leaving Maleburg, Su Li headed towards his territory day and night.

Along the way, relying on the warnings of the daily intelligence system, he avoided two bands of plunderers and six pioneer territories that wanted to rob his wealth.

Among these looters, the pioneer lords along the way are the absolute main force.

In this sinful land, plunder has never been the original sin, but weakness is.

The favorite targets of many pioneering lords are those pioneering lords on their way to their territories. This is the weakest stage of a lord and the fattest lamb.

Their troops were undecided, and they carried a large number of slaves, tools, and food. Successfully raiding such a group would greatly enrich any pioneering territory and greatly increase its power.

Su Li's team is also facing this situation. The serfs in his team have no sense of belonging. Boros Dragonhammer and Fandral Oaken are both sinister. Once a war breaks out, the team is likely to get out of control.

Therefore, he cautiously chose to avoid these battles. The border princely territories were characterized by vast lands and sparse populations, and information flow in this world was relatively slow. He advanced at breakneck speed, and most pioneering lords only learned of his passage after he had already crossed the border. By the time they gathered their knights and wanted to pursue him, it was too late.

Of course, this situation is not without its advantages. Under such pressure, the team's marching speed was very fast. Ten days after leaving Maleburg and more than a month after setting out from Bauhinia Castle, he finally set foot on this territory that belonged exclusively to him!
The plains at the foot of the Heisen Mountains are vast, the soil is fertile, and there are many rivers flowing through them, with abundant water resources. As long as it can be developed properly, it will surely become a land of abundance, allowing Su Li to enjoy the rest of his life without worries.

At the confluence of the Black River and the Brienne River, Su Li finally saw the stronghold left by the previous lord.

Su Li personally climbed up a slope and looked into the distance, taking in the vast river.

Both the Black River and the Brianne River flow down from the gray mountains running to the southeast. The Black River flows from north to south, while the Brianne River flows from east to west. The two rivers meet in the center of this vast plain in an inverted Y shape.

It can be seen that the predecessor was very broad-minded and magnanimous. He built strongholds in all directions of this intersection.

Due to the impact of the river, the terrain in the north is higher and there is a relatively obvious hill, so he built the castle on the fertile high ground north of the river confluence.

Two rivers converge on the right side, and here is an endless flat grassland, which is convenient for getting water from both the north and south directions. So he reclaimed a piece of farmland here and built two water conservancy facilities. However, after experiencing burning, killing and looting, most of these water conservancy facilities, windmills and fertile fields were abandoned.

The southwestern territory was the flattest and most vast, with beautiful soft hills and grasslands, and had broad development prospects, so he set up military camps, pastures, markets, residential areas, brothels, taverns and other facilities here, and a small fence and wooden stakes protected the area along the river.

If everything goes well, this city near the intersection will be the most shining pearl in the fertile land at the foot of the Hessen Mountains. The bridge across the river in the city will be regarded as the pride of the entire city, and even add glory to the entire border prince's territory.

It's a pity that this former lord had great ambitions but little talent. His broad vision and broad mind as the son of an elector have turned to ashes in the flames of war, and most of his grand plans have been abandoned.

Now that Su Li has taken over this land full of hope, he will use greater ambitions and a broader mind to build it into a wealthy and prosperous territory, with fertile farmlands, magnificent cities, and vast pastures. Everything will come together to form the most beautiful pearl in this foothill!
He opened his arms, facing the rising sun in the east, opened his heart, and shouted excitedly: "The foothills of the Heisen Mountains are our home from now on!"

Behind him, a large number of knights, armored and armored, with banners waving, faced the golden dawn and gazed with vigor at the abandoned stronghold ahead. They would conquer this land and become its new masters! Death Claw seemed to sense its master's excitement. It was the first time it had seen its master so high-spirited, and it was greatly inspired. Coincidentally, it successfully spread its wings and flew from Su Li's shoulder for the first time.

It chirped excitedly, spread its wings, and flew higher and higher until it soared into the blue sky.

Hildre looked up at the soaring griffin, excitedly clenched his fist, and a smile spread across his face: "My Lord, it is such a coincidence that the Death Claw has learned to fly today. Perhaps this is God's will, indicating that you will achieve great things in this land!"

After more than a month's march, Hildes had already been successfully promoted to a formal knight. Her promotion once again strengthened the belief in the hearts of all the knights that by following Young Master Su Li, they would definitely be able to get the opportunity to be promoted.

Everyone is full of confidence and anticipation for the future.

Su Li was also excited. How could there be such a coincidence? Death Claw hadn't been able to master the art of flying for over half a month, but on the day it arrived at the territory, it soared smoothly into the sky.

In this world of gods, perhaps it really has received the gods' grace. Perhaps this is God's will!

It was at this moment that Xilude changed his words for the first time. He no longer called Su Li "Young Master" but respectfully addressed him as "Lord".

Su Li took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and ordered everyone: "Forward, we enter the territory!"

"We respect your will, Lord!" The knights responded loudly, their voices resounding throughout the area.

It turns out that everyone is looking forward to the moment when they own a territory.

Even the Death Claw in the sky let out a loud roar and flew towards the front stronghold.

When the team arrived at the edge of the territory, Su Li was surprised to find that there were still some survivors in this deserted stronghold. Although there were not many of them, the situation outside the stronghold could definitely not be hidden from the knights' sharp eyes.

Frederick immediately rushed forward on his half-griffin and shouted to the survivors inside, "The new pioneer lord, Knight Su Li of the Bauhinia family, has arrived. Everyone inside, come out and greet the lord immediately!"

The half-griffin under him was huge and noble. He was wearing vibranium rune armor that shone with golden light. The Bauhinia family flag in his hand fluttered in the wind, and he had the powerful demeanor of an aristocrat.

The people inside did not dare to resist at all. After confirming that the one who arrived was the new pioneer lord, and not some looting horse bandits or war gangs, the people inside made a commotion and walked out of the deserted stronghold.

A thin old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties walked out of the crowd with his hands raised and shouted to Su Li, "Respected Lord, I am the political officer here. We are all survivors of the previous territory. Don't attack us."
