Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

The area of this purple Spirit Field is not large, only fifty square meters.

This is the Hail Crystal that Su Li collected these days. Since the quantity is not large, he didn't go to great lengths to renovate it under the Holy Purple Vine Tree.

The original plan was to plant some fruit trees and herbs in the courtyard, such as Rose Fragrance, Peony, Calming Flower, and the like.

As mentioned in the Daily Intelligence, summer is a high season for hail. Under its guidance, he collected Rainbow Hail Crystals several times over the past few days. Although each collection wasn't large in scale, together they transformed the land into a fertile field.

Besides this place in the Bauhinia Courtyard, there's another purple Spirit Field in the front of the castle's main building, which is even smaller at just over thirty square meters.

Su Li plans to plant all kinds of magical plants in both the manor and the castle. By then, it will be filled with vibrant flowers, gorgeous and enchanting, full of magical colors.

However, he did not expect things to go as smoothly as they did, managing to collect a second Spirit Tree so soon.

Under the joint efforts of priests Vandar and Lunadeshan, the seeds of the Moon Crown Tree were carefully planted. Avril brought a bucket of lake water rich in Spiritual Energy from Lake Revelin to irrigate it. Everyone immediately heard the natural, heavenly sounds of the seed sprouting in the soil.

The growth rate of this Moon Crown Tree was not weaker than the original Holy Purple Vine Tree. However, its final height was still far less, only a little over three meters. And because it is currently daytime, it only has grayish branches without blooming flowers, looking a bit desolate.

Su Li couldn't help but walk around the trunk, pondered aloud, "Is our Territory still so weak? It resembles a fragile sapling, easily perishing with any little crisis."

He laughed as he finished speaking, as if everything he described was fitting!

This Moon Crown Tree sapling is as much like the situation of the Territory now. If unequipped to handle the threats of demons and giant dragons, any could lead to the territory's demise.

Vandar shrugged helplessly, saying, "The energy obtained by the Moon Crown Tree can only grow it this tall. We increased its fertility with purple Spiritual Energy and water from Lake Revelin, aiding its growth."

At that moment, nearby, Military Commander Knight Oerstein suddenly stretched his body, the sound of bones popping resonated deeply, he twisted his shoulders and neck, bones shaking like war drums being struck.

Subsequently, Knight Oerstein's excited voice sounded, "Lord, I clearly felt a sharp improvement in my physique and strength."

Voices of Fastrick and Jerald also came, "Lord, my strength too has improved!"

The other knights immediately introspected their conditions and reported their statuses one by one.

All knights experienced a certain degree of strength improvement, with greater strength gaining even larger boosts.

Clearly, this was the flourishing effect of the Territory brought about by the growth of the Spirit Tree in the purple Spirit Field!

The military strength of the Territory grew alongside this Spirit Tree.

Upon completion of the report, even a regular knight who had long reached the breakthrough boundary advanced his strength and became an Elite Knight!

And with the excuse of this Moon Crown Tree Flower, Su Li could finally justifiably delay dispatching troops.

He immediately said to Mudalin, "Weapons quenched in the spring water infused with Moon Crown Tree flowers will have a strong lethality against demons, cutting through iron like mud."

"This is the time to rush and craft a batch of enchanted weapons against demons, to increase our winning odds and reduce dwarf casualties."

"Besides, you wouldn't want your clanspeople to sacrifice themselves in vain, would you?"

Mudalin, somewhat angrily, responded, "My friend, why do you hesitate at the mention of battle? Loyal dwarves will never defy the orders of the lord!"

"If we don't immediately aid the Territory, what if the demon's army attacks Redbeard Castle and something goes wrong? There are lots of dwarfs in the castle—children and women, with only a few hundred robust warriors. Can they withstand the Demon Legion?"

That is the dwarves' fortress! Standing tall on the peaks of the Gray Mountain Range, equipped with numerous dwarf-built defenses, arrow towers, stone-throwing vehicles, dragon-hunting crossbows, even powerful cannons set on the walls. How could the Demon Legion take it down easily, without crashing against it headlong?

Su Li was also a bit enraged. These dwarves are as stubborn as a mule!

"Isn't choosing the most reasonable tactic what we're doing? Clearly, we can greatly enhance our odds and reduce our losses through Moon Crown Tree Flower spirit enchantment. Why can't you just listen and understand? Do you really want to charge directly into the Monster Legion's fiercest point?"

"I painstakingly designed strategies and made arrangements all to reduce your Redbeard Tribe's casualties! Otherwise, I could easily stand by and do nothing!"

"Dwarves are never afraid of dying gloriously! Gronni will bless us to meet a worthy end!" Mudalin stubbornly sniffed, stared, and slightly tilted his chin towards Su Li, showing no willingness to give in.

Hearing Mudalin's loud shout, Su Li felt the anger surge straight to his head, feeling slightly dizzy from the frustration!
