Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 55: The Great Crisis of Destroying the Territory

After 15 days of stable operation, Su Li opened his eyes in the morning and looked through the new [Daily Intelligence]. The intelligence, which usually changed little, finally showed something different today! The focus of intelligence was shifting from acquiring resources to exploring the surrounding environment.

[Your strong will to lie flat is enhanced by the timeline, and you can gain the ability of [Prophet of Destiny] while lying flat.]

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

[1: 200 imperial miles downstream from the confluence of the Black and Brienne rivers, a clan of halflings seeks the joys of travel. Successfully robbing them could yield at least 800 gold pieces. However, tolerant and civilized lords rarely resort to such barbaric acts, so accepting them might be a good option. These halflings enjoy serving as merchants, peddlers for nobles, servants, and cooks, and might bring a significant boost to your domain.]

[2: Tonight, an avalanche will occur at the highest peak of the Gray Mountains in northern Hessen Territory. After the avalanche, the Snow Fairies in the mountains will open a three-day hiking trail. Defeat the evil spirit, the Bone Knight, that roams the caverns. You will obtain the relics from his corpse, including 50 gold coins and a rune sword, the Frost Sword.]

[3: In the far right of the rugged, leafy hills of northern Hessen, in an area called Mutter Valley, Badlands nomads have built a Wolfgang Farm. They've stolen your land and evaded sacred taxes. Tonight, they'll face a terrible retribution as a pack of savage orcs will besiege their farm. You can seize the opportunity while waiting for the oriole to gain a great deal of wealth. Alternatively, you can rescue them and perhaps attract the attention of a nature spirit, the Grain Father, Polevik.]

[4: Within the vast canopy of the Bloodpine Forest lie many dangers: greenskin tribes, countless beastmen, and thirsty bandits. But there are also countless opportunities. Tomorrow, a powerful giant herder will follow the will of the forest and attack all evil sacred objects it encounters, using its 64 sharp antlers and hooves to protect the people of the forest. After exhaustion, it will bleed to death in the forest near the Brienne River. A potion made from its heart and liver will grant the drinker complete immunity to poison for a period of time.]

【5:……】

【6:……】

……

[8: A powerful centaur tribe within the Bloodpine Forest, influenced by the dragon's aura, has become exceptionally lustful and furious. They will launch a sweep of the surrounding area in a week, forcing the forest's bandits to flee their camp. This may be an opportune moment for a powerful lord to launch a military operation.]

[9: The Kobold Tribe within the Jinke Mine has collected 6000 Imperial Jin of iron ore. The tribal leader has benefited from the dual effects of dragon aura and ore devouring, increasing his strength. Hidden dangers must be addressed promptly.]

[10: Deep within the Bloodpine Forest, atop the tallest tree, lies the young green dragon, Deceitwing, Alyria Erebus, Emerald Shadow. She is currently slumbering, and will not awaken until five and a half months from now. During this time, as long as nothing too dramatic occurs, there's no need to worry about waking her. You can boldly steal the treasures from her nest without worrying about the consequences. Regardless, upon waking, she will destroy all surrounding territories and tribes. You have no way out; your choice is clear.]

After reading the last piece of information today, the smile and calmness on Su Li's face disappeared instantly. He gritted his teeth, kicked the quilt away, and suddenly jumped up from the bed!

There is actually a green dragon inside the Blood Pine Forest!
No wonder the previous lord died at the hands of the forest bandits. This was no ordinary bandit gang, they were actually followers of the green dragon. It was just that this idiot couldn't even beat the green dragon's followers, so no one, including Laun, knew that there was a sinister and evil green dragon lurking in the forest.

Seeing the shocked and angry expression on Su Li's face, Hirud was slightly startled. He quickly stood up and hugged Su Li, gently stroking his back as he gasped for breath, and asked, "Lord, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? It's okay, it's okay, I'm here with you."

Nightmare?

Hearing this, Su Li clenched his fists. This was indeed a nightmare-like reality. He had spent so much time and effort to build up this territory, and he had a sense of belonging to his home. And now this evil dragon was going to destroy it all?
To be honest, the daily intelligence system's prompts were very timely. If he wanted to escape now, he would have enough time. If he rode quickly, he might even have time to change his territory in Marley Castle.

However, he had just bid farewell to his previous life of wandering, and his beautiful home was improving and everything was thriving.

How could he be willing to let a green dragon ruin everything?
So he gritted his teeth in anger, his heart filled with resentment. He tried hard to calm himself down, but the anger in his chest could not be contained at all.

Damn it, let’s fight this green dragon!

I want to lie down, but I don’t want to be a loser!

The enemy is about to destroy your territory, burn your home, kill your people, and enslave your women. If you still want to escape at this time, what kind of man is that!?

He was still a passionate young man at heart! Even if he was just an ordinary citizen in his previous life, if the enemy invaded, he would never think of bowing down and offering his wife and daughter. Even if it cost him his blood, he would fight the enemy to protect his homeland, wife, sons and daughters.

Now he is even more noble as a lord, with soldiers and generals under his command, what is there to be afraid of! ?
The dragon flame is about to be extinguished, warriors, follow me to slay the dragon!
Isn't it just a young dragon?
If Yin Zhiping can be a dragon knight, then he himself can be one too.

Besides, there was still nearly half a year left, so he had plenty of time to prepare. A young dragon's strength was roughly equivalent to a Chosen Knight, and an adult dragon's strength was roughly equivalent to a human Legendary Knight. As for the strength of a middle-aged or elderly dragon, and how they compared to a human Sanctuary Knight, that was beyond Su Li's comprehension.

Because the human Sanctuary Knights are theoretically considerable in scale, but very few are active, Su Li has no idea how strong the human Sanctuary Knights are, let alone how to judge the strength of humans and old dragons.

At present, this young green dragon alone is enough to make Su Li breathless.

Green dragons may not be the strongest of dragons, but they are undoubtedly the most sinister and cunning. They are renowned for their cunning schemes and toxicity. Unlike red and white dragons, who rush into melee in impulsive battles, green dragons are ruthless and cunning, prioritizing the vicious monsters that follow them to attack and maul their enemies. Only when their enemies are clearly defeated or thrown into great disarray will they charge forward and deliver a final, fatal blow, completely crushing their foes.

Just as the green dragon's title, Wings of Deceit, suggests, this insidious creature is both powerful and difficult to deal with.

With the current strength of the territory, there is no way to fight against her!

Fortunately, she will not wake up until half a year later. Otherwise, if we face her now, with her cruelty and strength, she can easily destroy the entire territory.
