Chapter 1027: Chapter 147: Su Li’s Strategic Ability as Human Emperor · Green Knight_3

Moreover, these Green Knights will never truly die in battle. Even if the battle they assist in is lost, and the entire human army is annihilated, reduced to mere relics on the battlefield, these Green Knights will only be temporarily dispersed. As long as the foundations beneath Blue Mirror Lake remain undisturbed, they can reform over time, emerging from the mist saturated with water vapor, to appear on other battlefields within Hesse Territory, opposing evil.

This is immensely powerful!

But compared to his grand, vast vision for the future, what is imagined is merely a fraction of the Green Knights’ capabilities.

What if Hesse Territory truly united the entire Border Prince’s Territory, and Su Li smoothly ascended the imperial throne?

Wouldn’t that mean the entire human camp would possess the abilities of these Green Knights?

In the war against evil, humanity might receive the aid of the Green Knights!

Thus, Su Li had to tread carefully. He looked towards Carlos and seriously asked, "Knight Carlos, what Demster said about the post-victory ’recognition’, and Blue Mirror Territory’s fraudulent tactics, have they all been corroborated by the ’Voice of Mole’?"

Carlos Vidal, this "Voice of the Tomb," nodded slowly, his movement light but loaded with unwavering certainty. His gray eyes met Su Li’s directly, "In the remnants of ancient heroic whispers, there indeed are fragments of ’trial’, and ’the victor receives aid’. The desecration mark of Manan and the missing Oath Lance fragments at the edge of the lake’s nest... the evidence is conclusive. The logic is valid. Feasibility... above seventy percent."

He paused, then added expressionlessly: "Of course, the premise is, we must first defeat those ’overly enthusiastic’ guards."

At this moment, Demster hurriedly added, "This is precisely why I say this battle is our greatest opportunity. In the past, defeating this Green Knight Legion wouldn’t have been easy. Underwater is their home turf, and our human army’s combat capabilities in water are less than a tenth; to defeat these Green Knights, it would likely cost thousands of elite soldiers, at least numerous would drown."

"However! Blue Mirror Territory has stolen part of the Oath Knight Order’s authority, summoning these Green Knights to the surface, to confront our mighty Black Forest army. This has instead become our greatest chance, allowing us to annihilate this Green Knight Legion thoroughly, on the most advantageous plain battlefield."

Su Li’s lips finally curled into a smile.

Who would’ve thought, who would’ve thought!

Baron Grant’s ambition and ultimate weapon, along with their despicable methods of stealing authority, would in the end serve to Su Li’s advantage!

Now it depends on the strength of Hesse Territory! Whether they can annihilate this vast Green Knight Legion in one blow.

If victorious, the gains would be astounding, unlocking an incredibly powerful strategic capability for Hesse Territory, for the Empire, and even for all humanity.

But if they cannot win, then it will all be in vain! Hesse Territory’s army would be cut to pieces under the frenzied assault of these Green Knights.

The ultimate outcome would still rely on the bravery of the knights, the blades and swords in the hands of the warriors, to decide victory or defeat!

"Very well. Then, let’s make a plan. Target: Blue Mirror Lake. Mission: Overwhelm the Green Knight Legion head-on, seize the Oath Lance fragments, and let these ancient guardians... recognize the new master!" Su Li took a deep breath, turned to look at Oerstein and Hilude, and solemnly said, "My Marshal and Chief Steward, the four thousand elite infantry and cavalry are in your hands, I want to capture Blue Mirror Castle in one strike, to win this crucial battle!"

Hesse Territory’s next strategic target is now unmistakably clear. A battle wagering future hegemony, for the glory against the ancient spirits, is set to unfold by the serene banks of Blue Mirror Lake.

Su Li’s orders, like a massive stone thrown into the placid lake, rekindled the once-dormant war machine of Hesse Territory with a surge of action, after nearly two months of calm. The entire Rapids Castle and its subsidiary camps fell into an unprecedentedly efficient operation.

First came the convergence of the iron tide, where troops stationed at Flash Spear City, Green Shore Plain’s outpost, and the fringes of the Frost Fang Mountain Range swiftly broke camp under the urgent summons of messenger riders. The dense phalanx of Hesse Territory’s elite foot knights and long lance soldiers, clad in dwarvenly crafted, gleaming fine plate armor, marched with synchronized, ground-quaking steps, converging on the main road leading to Blue Mirror Lake from all directions. The cavalry units, like a torrent of iron and steel, kicked up dust clouds, blazing the path and masking the battlefield for the main army.

The logistics system, personally overseen by Hilude, displayed astonishing efficiency. Convoys loaded with arrows, crossbow bolts, firearms ammunition, spare weapons, medical supplies, and provisions rolled thunderously forward under the escort of infantry phalanxes. Dwarf engineers accompanied the army, carefully transporting siege equipment parts—including detachable heavy crossbow cannons and a handful of precious cannons—that would serve as the heavy hammer to crack open Blue Mirror Castle’s hardened shell.

Within this logistics train, nearly a hundred newly constructed sets of Vibranium Rune Armor were transported!

Over close to two months of rest, Su Li obviously did not sit idly by. Indeed, while dwarves expanded their territories and Mole Knights probed the depths of Blue Mirror Lake, Su Li supervised the territory’s production efforts at full capacity.

The vibranium, weapons, and armor seized from Blue Mirror Territory’s forces in the last battle were smelted by the territory’s dwarf master forgers into even finer Vibranium Rune Armor.

With such abundant resources, Hesse Territory not only gained over 150 Star Iron Armor and 80 sets of Vibranium Rune Armor but even acquired another set of Rare Level Armor—the Armor of Gilded Gold! Currently equipped on the Divine Chosen Knight, Blazing Sun Saint, Rong’en.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Hesse Territory’s combat capability is at least 30% higher than before the war began!

Meanwhile, after Su Li’s earnest persuasion (primarily offering a huge sum of Dwarf Oath Gold), the Gray Rock Tribe and the Redbeard Tribe, after three days and nights of intense debate, finally decided to dispatch 2000 elite dwarf warriors to partake in this internal conflict among the human Border Prince’s Territories.

Dorok and Gesen personally banged the table, standing before Su Li, demanding him to swear that the Green Knights’ effect was genuinely existent (most importantly, that indeed, Baron Grant’s despicable theft of a part of the human heroic knight’s authority), and that this Green Knight Legion could indeed assist in humanity’s righteous fight against evil in the future.

Dwarves are exceptionally serious about oaths; they swore that if Su Li deceived them, they would inscribe this grave disgrace and lost honor into the Book of Hatred.

This means, if Su Li coaxed them into this internal human war not for the sake of justice, their alliance would instantly crumble, with the three parties turning from intimate allies into sworn enemies harboring deep hatred.

To this, Su Li was of course, clear of conscience, earnestly assuring these two old friends that their engagement would be beneficial to the entirety of Hesse Territory, possibly also to the future wars against evil in Border Prince’s Territory.

As a friend to the entire dwarf race, Su Li’s name has even been written into the dwarves’ battle songs and nursery rhymes. After his assurance, the younger faction of the dwarves quickly overwhelmed the old stubborn members in debates, learning from their current Supreme King, involving themselves more proactively in affairs of other races.

Thus, led by their two chieftains, the dwarves’ strongest warriors and most formidable war machines joined in the alliance army.

Joining this battle was also among Su Li’s most vital reinforcements—Hammer of War: Sulfur Gun Squad, and four dwarf gyrocopters.

These are ultimate dwarven war units imbued with the powerful attributes of Heavy Armor, Flame Shot, Dwarf Craft, Armor-Piercing, Multi-Shot, and Rapid Fire.

Their forte lies in executing aerial decapitation strategies, with enemy colossal units unwary, entangled in melee, and surrounded by numerous units, especially dwarf units, becoming focus-fired and decapitated by these war machines.

After over two months, they finally arrived at Hesse Territory from within the Gray Mountain Range. In reality, 95% of the time in those two months was wasted on the returning route of the dwarf trade caravan.

Upon receiving orders, the Hammer of War Squad took less than five days to arrive from Dragon Rock Castle to Hesse Territory, thus able to partake smoothly in the battle for Blue Mirror Lake.

This battle nearly gathered all the resources Su Li could leverage since his transmigration! The outcome of this decisive battle would determine the entire future prosperity or decline of Hesse Territory!
