Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 96: Sun Goddess Model Territory Agreement
When Su Li woke up, he could still see the tear marks on Xilude's face.

She was so tired last night that Su Li woke up but she was still asleep.

However, this is a good time for Su Li to check the daily intelligence system to see if there is any information that can increase the chances of winning tomorrow's decisive battle.

[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: A Knight of the Blazing Sun Knights will travel to the edge of Mirror Swamp in southern Hessen Territory this evening. This young, elite Blazing Sun Knight begins his professional journey of trial, testing his knowledge and martial prowess. Send several mounted archers to escort him to your territory; otherwise, he will head east from the southern end of Mirror Swamp, passing through your territory.]

[2] The "Red Crown" sect has taken root in the limestone valley northwest of the Jinke Mine. They have begun extensive exploration of the surrounding area. It is clear that their main focus is on the deep mountains. Something in the forest is attracting them. Destroy them immediately, otherwise they will unearth a terrible disaster.]

[3: The Centaur tribe in the Bloodpine Forest has been influenced by Tal, the God of Summer and Wilderness, and their savagery is stirring. They will successfully attack a Dwarf fortress on the edge of the Grey Mountains within three days, obtain a large amount of Dwarven pledge gold and Dwarven equipment, and capture three teams of Dwarven engineers.]

【4:……】

……

[6: Ron Elsari's Battle Pilgrims should tour the territory, rather than confined to the training grounds, honing their swords. Let them witness the territory's vibrant vitality and, in their spare time, spread the teachings to the slaves in training. This will significantly increase the Sun Goddess's faith in the territory as the great battle approaches. This will make it easier to attract the Sun Goddess's attention and receive her divine favor. If a team is composed entirely of Sun Goddess believers, they will receive a divine favor during battle, granting [Violet's Spear]. For one minute, when devout believers wield their spears, the goddess' divine power will be attached to the spearhead, significantly increasing the weapon's armor-piercing power.]

……

[9: The Broken Toe tribe in the Bloodpine Forest has already set out, eager to join the frenzy of battle within the Black Forest Territory. The goblins and greenskins are particularly enthusiastic about this. Perhaps this is your greatest opportunity. Take the initiative and attack while the river trolls and Anarrek spiders lag behind the enemy. In one fell swoop, you can defeat this large but weak greenskin force, which has been disconnected from the rear.]

[10: Intensify your training with your ultimately loyal knight, Hildre. Inspire her with stronger stimulation and spur her on with words. Make her constantly waver between maintaining clarity and ecstasy. This will increase the chances of her achieving another breakthrough in strength.]

After reading the last text with brilliant golden light, Su Li was stunned. He lowered his head and gently kissed Hildre's smooth forehead.

Are women really made of water?

There's actually a possibility that Xilude could achieve a breakthrough in her cultivation! She's like water, gentle, resilient, and limitless!
If she continues to break through like this, Su Li feels that in the more than four months before the green dragon wakes up, Xilude may even break through to the champion knight!

In such a short time, she has broken through all the way to become a champion knight. She will become a legend in the entire territory.

Even when the bards visited the territory, they would compile her deeds into hymns and sing them to the north. A large number of nobles, knights and civilians in the empire would hear the story of Hilde in the tavern and know that in the remote border prince's territory, a star-like female champion knight had risen.

Feeling Su Li's moist lips and kiss, Xilude rubbed his eyes hazily and asked, "Lord, do you want it again? Do you need me to change clothes to entertain you?"

Su Li groped her slender and round legs and said with a smile: "I need it, I really need it, but all this will have to wait until tonight. I will help you! I will help you break through tonight!"

Avril had endured less firepower last night, so she was in good shape today. She got up energetically and prepared breakfast. When she heard Su Li's voice, she went upstairs, sat down in front of the bed, and said to Su Li, "My Lord, I have prepared hot milk, hot bread, roasted venison, fried fish fillets and sausages, a plate of boiled eggs, a plate of raspberries picked yesterday, honey, and cheese. I also made you your favorite pie and vegetable soup."

Listening to so many delicious foods, Su Li's stomach couldn't help but growl. He immediately jumped out of the quilt and said energetically, "Let's go, after we eat, we will arrange today's affairs."

For the sake of his woman and his comfortable life, he must strive hard! Any greenskins or green dragons who want to destroy the beautiful life in his territory must die!

Sitting at the dining table, Su Li's mouth was almost watering at the temptation of all the delicious food. His body was no longer the weak office worker he used to be. People who exercise regularly will be in a better mental state.

Su Li fought fiercely during the day and practiced diligently at night, which consumed a lot of physical energy. Therefore, he had a very good appetite. The delicious food on the table must have weighed about six or seven pounds, and there was a lot of meat, but he easily finished one third of it.

In the past, he couldn't believe that he would have the appetite to eat so much in the morning.

Of course, the greater probability is that he simply cannot get out of bed and has no time to eat breakfast.

While he was having breakfast with Hilde and Avril, Lawn and Ron entered the castle together. Lawn was used to Su Li not finishing her breakfast at this time of the day, but Ron was quite surprised. This territory was full of vitality, and he thought it was because the lord was diligent in governing.

However, Su Li did not care about his opinion. After asking him to sit aside, he asked, "My Lord Seal Holder, what brings you here together?"

"Yes," Laun reported in detail. "I spoke with the leader of the pilgrim group yesterday and listened in detail to their church's doctrines and philosophies. After some discussion, we believe we can reach an agreement. However, I don't have the power to make the decision, so I need your permission."

"Well, tell me in detail." Su Li was almost full, so he raised a cup of hot milk and gulped it all down, ending this hearty breakfast.

Laun explained, "Priests and believers of the Cult of the Blazing Sun Goddess will provide services in the north to the citizens of the Empire preparing to migrate south. Thanks to their efforts, many adventurous citizens of the northern empire will relocate to the southern border of the empire to develop this still somewhat barren and fertile land."

"But many people are still skeptical about this journey. The looters along the way, the malicious lords, and more importantly, the confusion brought about by leaving their homes and having no property, all influence their decisions."

"So perhaps we can reach a win-win agreement. We can build a territory here that is blessed by the Fiery Sun Goddess, accept those immigrating believers of the Fiery Sun Goddess, and lease the unowned land to them for cultivation for three years."

In fact, Lawn wanted to distribute land to the farmers, giving each person 30 acres of farmland, which would immediately attract a large number of civilians in the empire to flee to Hesse.

However, the lords of this world are extremely stingy and greedy. They are the only ones who squeeze every copper coin from the farmers. It is impossible for them to distribute their wealth to the farmers for free.

So he settled for the second best. The land, mountains, rivers, forests, swamps, animals, plants and even flowers and grass in the territory were all the lord's wealth. However, the lord possessed the virtues of a knight, so he lent these uncultivated wasteland to believers who also believed in the Sun Goddess for a period of three years.

During these three years, they did not need to pay rent, but they had to pay the high 19 taxes.

For Su Li, this is certainly a sure win.

Anyway, if these wastelands are not rented out, they will just be a grassland overgrown with weeds if left there. After being rented to the farmers who migrated here, they will cultivate the land for three years and the land will become fertile farmland, and it will belong to Master Su Li.

After listening to Lao En's suggestion, Su Li wanted to go a step further. With a wave of his hand, he even waived the nineteenth tax.

During these three years, the common people reclaimed wasteland, and the lord exempted them from all taxes, thus attracting more people to come and reclaim wasteland.

But after thinking about it, he restrained his impulse. This was not the unified world of his previous life where the emperor would generously encourage farming. Not only would farmers be exempted from all taxes for the first three years after reclaiming farmland, but the farmland would even be directly owned by the farmers. Various land occupation orders and equal land distribution orders really encouraged whoever reclaimed the land, and the land would belong to whoever did so.

In today's world, most lords are so greedy that they are unwilling to save even a penny on taxes and rents. As long as he can be more generous and virtuous than others, he can attract a large number of imperial subjects to migrate here.

As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. His excessive generosity would not only harm his own interests, but also the interests of others. If the civilians and slaves from other lords' territories all fled to Hesse, he would incur public wrath.

So Su Li waved his hand lightly and said, "Let's do everything according to your ideas. Speaking of spreading faith, Your Excellency Rong En, I just happen to have something to tell you."

"There's only one day left before we face the Green Tide. I don't think it's very meaningful for you to continue training on this day. Why don't you lead the pilgrims to preach and pray for my army, so that more knights, squires, and slaves can understand the grace of the Sun Goddess."

Upon hearing Su Li's suggestion, Rong En's eyes lit up and he said, "That's perfect. If we can make Heisen Territory a model territory bathed in the grace of the Goddess of the Fiery Sun, it will be great for both your battles and the immigrants under our teachings."

Being able to preach and teach, Rong En became more friendly to Su Li and enthusiastically cooperated with all of Su Li's requests.

In the afternoon, the mounted archers in his pilgrimage group brought back a heroic and strong knight of the Order of the Blazing Sun from the southern end of the swamp. The young knight Joseph was looking for a place to station to help farms, villages, and horse stations fight against the attacks of beastmen and greenskins.

Upon hearing that the Hessian Territory was about to face an invasion by more than 5000 greenskins, he immediately became eager to fight and decided to help the territory fight against evil.

After Su Li captured a group of 36 peasant thugs who had mistakenly entered the Mirror Swamp, he stopped fighting outside and returned to the territory to make final preparations.

Under his arrangement, all the people in the territory, from the lords to the common people, slaves, and even ogres and dwarves participated in the most grand bonfire dinner before the war.
