Chapter 823: Chapter 93: Sensual Baptism and Celebration—Arrival of Numerous Allies (Part 4)
This clan leader is more like a tech enthusiast; he’s not skilled in socializing and usually stays in the underground forge of the fortress to craft weapons and equipment.
However, his values are very close to Su Li’s, with a strong focus on farming and development.
The two were practically like old friends at first sight. After the greeting, Su Li smiled and said to him, "My friend, we have had the most numerous glory of fighting side by side and are the most steadfast allies in mutual support. Since last year, I have prepared a bottle of the finest Giant Brew just for you. Later, please allow me to personally open the seal for you and let you drink to your heart’s content!"
Dorok nodded heavily, "My friend, I also bring you a Rare Level weapon. Dorglin said you use a warhammer, and I have personally crafted a Warhammer·Blast Furnace Breaker for you. When you swing it, it will be surrounded by scorching arcs of spirit light, inflicting terrifying damage on enemies."
That’s wonderful, as Su Li was in need of a powerful yet unknown Rare Level weapon. After all, during the finals, the knights used weapons other than training swords for better spectacle.
Having a Rare Level weapon undoubtedly would further enhance his chances of victory.
Moreover, by the time of the finals, as the number of matches decrease, there will be Champion Level and Divine Chosen Level referees who can stabilize the situation. The territory can also provide sufficient potions, basically ensuring no accidents occur.
At this time, allowing the knights to display their respective strengths clearly adds to the celebratory atmosphere, and the spark of collisions can ignite the ultimate climax, filling the territory’s gambling business to the brim.
After the Redbeard clan leader entered the reception hall, Su Li then welcomed important allies from the humans, the envoy of the Eternal Flame Cathedral, who is also one of the Deputy Leaders of the Flame Sun Knight Order, Paulus Friedrich. Alongside him were the Leader of the Corona Knight Order, Constantine, the Leader of the Greenfield Knights, Alfred, the envoy of senator Smith of Marle Castle, President Roger, and the envoy of senator Zoe, Melly Zov.
All of these are old friends of Su Li, and of course, there are new friends, Baron Vincent Slick, the Lord of the Sun Goddess Church from the south of Mirror Swamp, and Baron Bowen Hoffman from within the Empire.
They are all followers of the Sun Goddess Violet and are highly admiring of and longing for the achievements of the Hesse Territory, having traveled a long way to participate in this feast of the territory.
It can be said that this celebration successfully filled the hall with Su Li’s guests, not only strengthening the camaraderie with old friends but also establishing relationships with several new territories, opening new trade routes.
Besides these official forces, those whom Su Li treated generously and invited included powerful individuals and representatives of civilian forces, such as the formidable Amber Mage·Grondahl·Beastman Calamity Star, a renowned Great Mage active at the foot of the Gray Mountain Range. He abhors evil and frequently joins forces with Dwarves and knights of Hesse to purge monster camps.
There were also leaders from the Blue Heron Mercenary Corps and the Fallen Wolf Knight Mercenary Corps. The Blue Heron Mercenary Corps, based in Hesse Territory, has been expanding rapidly, becoming an armed force that cannot be ignored at the foot of the Gray Mountain Range. They likely have over 1,000 combat personnel and internal staff. During fierce battles, they may even summon up to 1,200 elite soldiers, including retired veterans, which is almost half an army! Naturally, Su Li treated them with exceptional courtesy.
In many battles, the Church Knight Order does not always assist Hesse, but as long as the price is right, this corps will always be a solid ally of Hesse.
And the Grand Leader Gelanglong Rein of the Fallen Wolf Knight Mercenary Corps is even a formidable Champion Knight; he’s the only Champion Knight Su Li has seen among countless mercenaries. Su Li heard that he also participated in this Radiant Competition Festival, ambitiously aiming to achieve a position in the champion stage.
