"Life in the Border Prince's Territory is simply too difficult. Every day, I am overwhelmed with governance affairs and endless battles. The territory still hasn't found its footing, and the threat of dragons hangs over us like a sharp sword, ready to destroy our land at any moment. In such circumstances, how can I report peace to the family?"

These earnest words finally moved Knight Connor. He had some understanding of Hesse Territory's plight from Stern's letters.

Regarding what Su Li said about endless battles, Connor believed somewhat, but he didn't believe at all about the endless governance affairs. In those short three days, he had some insight into Young Master Suli's character, and through exchanges with Stern, he learned much about Young Master Suli's nightly carousal in Hesse Territory.

However, the Bauhinia banner fluttering over Heisen Castle surpassed all words. Indeed, Young Master Suli has kept his promises, adding glory to the family banner, letting the Bauhinia flag fly in a broader sky.

This is enough for the family to continue providing him with resources! For the family, a strong Hesse Territory is far more important than a close offspring. Only more territory and higher prestige will ensure the family's legacy remains stable.

So, Knight Connor accepted his explanation and harshly admonished, "Especially in such times, you should contact the family even more. Are you a rootless person without a family?"

"You must know, the bloodline within you is your strongest backing. The family would not let each outstanding offspring's territory fall easily! Whenever a family bloodline territory is threatened, the family will extend a helping hand when appropriate. Only by expanding the family can all family territories be made safer."

"The same applies to every branch of the bloodline. Would you stand by idly if Bauhinia Castle were in crisis?"

Even the most straightforward person knows what to say now, and Su Li promptly replied, "Of course not! Bauhinia Castle is our root, and when the family is in need, our Hesse Territory will certainly provide full support."

Knight Connor nodded satisfactorily, showing a smile, and said, "Exactly, if you younger ones can think this way, how could the family just ignore your plight?"

"Count has heard of your achievements, Young Master Suli, and sent a whole squadron of the Red Night Knight Order to Hesse Territory. From now on, this knight order will establish a branch in your territory to assist you in warfare."

"You can rest assured, the Red Night Knight Order is a Secular Knight Order founded by the Bauhinia family and will adhere to the Bauhinia family lord's commands."

"Unless your orders are utterly unreasonable, otherwise the Red Night Knight Order will abide by the military orders."

A whole squadron of the Red Night Knight Order?!

Su Li was overjoyed. Although he was not clear about the Bauhinia family's Red Night Knight Order's size, for a Count's Territory, the size of this knight order would not exceed 12 squadrons, and very likely only five or six squadrons.

Now, being deployed a squadron of knight order members meant a full 120 Elite Knights! Before the military expansion in Hesse Territory, there weren't that many Elite Knights.

Su Li immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Great! With your addition, our victory rate against the Green Dragon can increase by two to three percent."

Knight Connor, proudly stroking his rugged brown beard, was evidently proud of the scale of the knight order.

He lifted his chin, like an elder evaluating a descendant, and said, "Young Master Suli, you cannot become arrogant and complacent. Even with the support of the Red Night Knight Order, the development of your territory cannot be neglected."

"Before you returned, I made a brief inspection of this castle. The castle's scale is quite decent, but the number of knights here leaves much to be desired."

"I see only two squads of Elite Knights in the castle. How could that be enough for the war against the Green Dragon? You cannot rely too heavily on defense structures; in warfare, people are the most crucial!"

Stern, who was idly listening with disinterest, was suddenly shocked, his eyes widened. He hurriedly glanced at his own father. Don't do your son in, father! What are you doing? Are you trying to educate Lord?

He had been bravely fighting from Bauhinia Castle, triumphing in every battle, and joining the Hesse Imperial Guard Knight through numerous close scrapes with death.

The entire Hesse Imperial Guard Knight Order is not just the pride of the territory but also the Lord's most loyal guards.

No one dares to question the Lord in the slightest, yet his father just arrived and dared to instruct the Lord? He could not imagine how his Knight Commander and teammates would drill him once his father left!

Su Li was also momentarily stunned, but given the aid Knight Connor brought, he was in good spirits and didn't take offense, smiling as he said, "What Knight Connor said is reasonable; it's always humans who decide the outcome of wars. A troop with scattered morale will crumble easily no matter how strong the equipment is. We need more elites to combat the Green Dragon. I wonder how many people Knight Connor brought this time?"

Knight Connor, satisfied with Su Li's humble attitude, then boasted even more, "In addition to a squadron of the Red Night Knight Order, there are two Attendant Camps assembled by the Count, totaling 300 people. Additionally, the Count ordered the recruitment of a continual development Adventurer's Group. Many knights from the territory, upon hearing Hilude's feats, are actively registering and asking to serve under you, Young Master Suli, in the Border Prince's Territory. This includes 13 Elite Knights, 89 official Knights and Apprentice Knights, and over 200 Armed Attendants."
