Chapter 584 29: Ingrid's Virtue and the Visit of a New Knight Order
Talabheim? Su Li knew this province, located in the northeast of the Empire, already very close to Kislev, and was known for its dense Black Forest.
No wonder they arrived much later than the Flame Sun Knight Order.
It seems the rise of Hesse Territory has caught their attention, and they've sent a knight suborder to visit to discuss the stationing issue in Hesse Territory.
While Su Li pondered, Freya continued, "In fact, the Greenfield Knights are more like foresters in the Imperial Army than ordinary knights. Their unique advantage in urban alley battles and in the Dark Forest is very suitable for our territory."
"Members of other knight orders find it difficult to regard the Greenfield Knights as peers. But that doesn't include our Flame Sun Knight Order. In fact, the first members of the Greenfield Knights were selected from the Flame Sun Knights, who have talent in archery and have abandoned the humility of traditional military methods."
"Since becoming the Greenfield Knight Order, although they haven't been deployed to large battlefields, they've already proven their value on many occasions. In the Taltonbas area, they once single-handedly repelled a roaming Beastman raid."
"You know, a strong herd of Roaring Beasts appearing would require even a Count's Territory to be fully on guard. These monsters come and go unpredictably, always able to spring from forests and canyons, making it hard for people to defend against them."
"The Greenfield Knights obviously see the ongoing warfare situation and the forested terrain at the foot of the mountains, so they proactively came to our territory, seeking glory and dedicating their military strength to the Goddess, protecting the Goddess's followers."
"Their arrival will surely help us to detect the threat of Roaring Beasts sooner and faster."
A troop similar to foresters is indeed very suitable for the current terrain of the territory.
After all, one key direction of development in the territory right now is the west of the Blood Pine Forest, which has set up many new outposts and villages, and the Knight Order, Free People's Corps, and Mercenary Corps are all exploring the ruins in the forest.
It can be said that the arrival of the Greenfield Knights will greatly assist the territory's development efforts this year.
If they also need a station, Su Li can directly give them a village in the Blood Pine Forest, or let them move into the Storm Shadow Fortress.
That fortress is a major military town with a complete defense system, able to extend Hesse Territory's defense hundreds of miles, preventing monsters from pouring into the vast Central Plain as soon as they appear from the Blood Pine Forest,
Adding another knight order fortress in a defense system is entirely convenient.
The engineer and the Ogre construction team wouldn't need to spend much extra cost to complete this additional facility.
However, Freya's mention of that issue caught Su Li's slight attention. He walked to the front of the castle's drawing room, stood still, and turned to help Freya adjust the collar of her shirt, then kissed her cheek and said, "You seem a bit weary. If you meet the members of the Greenfield Knights in this state, I'm afraid they might underestimate and mock you."
"I still have the cosmetics you left in my room; why don't you take a nap, then freshen up and come out looking invigorated?"
A red blush appeared on Freya's cold, frosty cheek. She was indeed not very spirited.
No woman can have a good spirit wearing the Seductive Torture Brass Bell on her chest all night. After she fell asleep, touching the brass bell sent a tremor through her whole body.
Her hands were tied to the bedhead, and she didn't dare roll over herself. After a hard time falling asleep, she was repeatedly disturbed and woken by Su Li.
Su Li wasn't intentionally messing with her. As a man, holding a soft, fragrant jade woman to sleep, his hands naturally found the softest, most comfortable, most suitable place to rest by instinct.
And two people were closely bound together. With any of Su Li's movements, she blushed all over, biting her cherry lips, enduring for a long time to sleep, or couldn't sleep and simply got up to practice as a Female Knight.
Living like this for three days and nights, it would be strange if her spirits weren't low.
But what could she do about it?
Her life unwittingly seeped into the other's space and trajectory.
In Bauhinia Castle, she had left many sets of lingerie, stockings, blouses, skirts, and various cosmetics.
So when Su Li's warm breath brushed against her cheek, she had long been accustomed. After Su Li was done tidying, she said, "I'll take a shower first, then go to your bedroom, change clothes, and take a nap. When everyone's here, have someone call me."
"No problem," Su Li said with a smile, "I'll have someone bring you a pair of Extraordinary Stockings from Ingrid later."
Extraordinary Stockings, made from the Arachnid silk of the Anaric Giant Spider.
Aeliria brought a batch of Anaric Empress Giant Spider silk, all made into stockings of extraordinary charm.
Among them, 3 pairs are white silk, 2 pairs are flesh-colored silk, and 2 pairs are black silk.
These 7 pairs of stockings alone are worth at least 7,000 Golden Crowns! It must be said, the wealth of a Giant Dragon revealing just a tiny bit from between its claws is enough to astonish.
Using such a lot of precious wealth for enjoyment instead of enhancing strength is indeed extravagantly astounding.
But there's nothing to be done; they belong to Aeliria, who directly requested Ingrid help her make these Empress Spider silks into stockings.
Su Li couldn't possibly be shameless enough to seize his woman's belongings and put them to other uses.
