Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

But where in this world are there so many principles? Within any Empire, it's impossible to separate public and private matters. With Su Li's salary in hand, how could Oerstein possibly turn a blind eye to the assassination about to occur and sit back?

Therefore, Oerstein resolutely pounded his chest with a fist and solemnly declared: "I always remember my knight's oath: I vow to be loyal to my Lord with my flesh and soul. When the horn blows, I will fight in the name of the Empire and the Goddess. As long as I have breath remaining, the land I guard will not be desecrated by evil. Honor is everything! The spirit of the knight is everything! I swear by my blood and my breath."

"Lord, Philis is a member of our territory. I will never allow the evil pawns to harm any member of our territory."

Su Li revealed a satisfied smile: "My friend, I knew you would never disappoint me."

"Now let's discuss the tactical arrangement for tonight. At 23:30 tonight, the divine chosen assassin Rat People will infiltrate our bathhouse via the water gate. The team includes three Aisin assassins and one Aisin warlock. We must intercept them before they leave the bathhouse, or under the sneaky magic added by the Aisin warlock, they will disappear without a trace."

Hilude, being the High-level Attendant Chief, is very familiar with the defenses of Heisen Castle and, hearing this, exclaimed in shock: "They're going to infiltrate through the bathhouse? There's a burning boiler there, and the pipes are heated by the boiler as they enter the bathhouse; the temperature will be very high, ordinary people would not be able to stand such high temperatures."

Su Li said: "Precisely because the conditions here are extreme and everyone thinks it's impossible, they choose this place for infiltration."

Besides, how hot can the boiler water for bathing be, at most sixty or seventy degrees.

The low-temperature wax used by Freya reaches forty or fifty degrees, and that's just for teasing.

Divine Chosen level assassins can definitely endure the sixty or seventy degrees hot water as they lurk past the boiler to the bath.

Oerstein stroked his rigid brown mustache and pondered for a moment, then said: "So our best course of action is to block them as soon as they show up in the bathhouse at 23:30, and after the battle erupts, someone will be there to block their retreat."

Hilude said: "This is the best approach, trapping the Rat People assassins in a narrow corridor, allowing us to maximize the protective advantage of our knight's well-equipped armor while restricting these assassins' mobility and evasive space."

"The truly frightening aspect of these Rat People is their ability to appear and disappear unpredictably. Once cornered in a narrow area, their fighting ability is negligible."

Oerstein decisively said: "Then let me face them head-on. Hilude, your Half Griffin mount is faster and can block their retreat."

Hilude raised no objections. These two tasks aren't clearly heavier or lighter, and if the Rat People find the task failing, they may not necessarily fight Oerstein desperately, but they will certainly fight Hilude desperately in retreat.

After the plan was finalized, Su Li said to the two: "You can discuss this matter with Rong'en and Dietrich; as religious sacrifices, they will certainly aid in the battle."

Not to mention, setting up several religious holy images near the battlefield could greatly enhance these knights' fighting power.

Since there's a Aisin Ratman Sorcerer in the opposing team, it might cause some strange effects.

Oerstein nodded, then firmly stated with his wrist: "I will make sure they cooperate fully in this mission. If anyone dares not to cooperate, I'll make them suffer a little."

This is the kind of thinking a proud and arrogant knight would have.

This might have a magical effect because among these combat priests and brute knights, a big fist is the hard truth.

Much more effective than Su Li's earnest persuasion.

Philis saw two powerful divine chosen standing guard over her, and there were bright sparks jumping in her eyes, her gaze lingering until the two disappeared from Heisen Castle before reluctantly withdrawing.

Su Li, noticing her excited manner, couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and asked: "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Philis seemed startled, quickly patted her chest, shook her head, and said: "Nothing, Lord, do you have anything else today? Do you need my help?"

Philis is willing to help handle my affairs?

Su Li didn't give it much thought, said: "There's a lot of things to handle, and they're all urgent and trivial matters."

The first is the Shepherd from Gray Time Village, if he isn't stopped from desecrating the Goddess statue in the abandoned altar, the Hesse Territory will be shrouded in mist for the next period of time.

There are no pathways between these villages and towns; if thick fog envelops them, people will likely get lost after leaving the village.

Even in the town itself, it might not be safe; the town could be shrouded in thick fog, and some people might disappear after entering deep into the fog.

No one knows what exactly the Shepherd did to the beautiful Goddess statue that angered the Elf Goddess, Lady of Mist, Radlia.

As far as Su Li knows, elves are very open in this regard.

Moreover, since the end of the Battle of the Longbeards, the elf population has sharply decreased, they've even abandoned their previous colonies and retreated to Elf Island, and the Elf Queens, to encourage childbirth, hold annual unguarded gatherings in the Eternal Courtyard with men and women from the territories, and they revel for a month.

So ordinary desecration would definitely not provoke the Lady of Mist to react so strongly.
