Chapter 691: 469: Appointment of the Territory_2
On the other side, after Leo Ray’s signal, the old steward came forward, bowed down to take the blueprint shining with magic flow light, and respectfully replied.
Next, when Warren Dexter, who was holding the building blueprint, returned to the team.
Leo Ray’s dark eyes moved and fell on Taylor and the others by his left hand side, and then he said, “As for the main subordinates, stay temporarily in the territory, and Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe will continue to refine the Qi Condensing Pills.”
“Yes, my Lord!” A neat voice sounded, and the main subordinates saluted and responded together.
“Well, that’s the end of today’s meeting.”
As he said this, Leo Ray stood up from the throne and said, “Roger and the ten newly joined squad leaders stay behind, the others may be dismissed.”
Thus, after a short while, in a closed reception room next to the hall, Roger Smith was the first to respectfully stand in front of Leo Ray.
“Roger, you’ve worked hard recently, especially when I was not around, the territory is still well organized and well guarded.”
With a slight smile, Leo Ray immediately spoke to the middle-aged commander with white temples in front of him.
Undoubtedly, the reason why Leo Ray chose Roger Smith as the commander was because of his oldest battlefield experience and being the most stable.
Moreover, through the silent observation of this period, Leo Ray found that the meticulous performance of this old commander was indeed excellent, arranging the territory’s open and hidden posts in an orderly and systematic manner.
“My Lord is overpraising. These are just my duties I’ve been assigned, and doing my best is simply doing my part.”
Hearing this, a grateful look appeared on Roger’s determined face, and he shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.
“In any case, I’ve seen everything and taken it to heart.”
Leo Ray still maintained his smile, his mind moved slightly, and 8 Rose Gathering Energy Pills with exotic fragrance surrounding them appeared in his palm.
Next, Leo Ray handed the numerous brocade boxes in his hand to Roger and said, “Take these as a reward for you. I hope you can continue to work hard and help me manage the territory better.”
“Is this…?!”
On the other side, after receiving the magic medicine handed by Leo Ray with disbelief, a look of ecstasy appeared on Roger’s face after a moment of stunned silence.
At present, his strength was at Tier 3 One-Star, and these Rose Gathering Energy Pills would undoubtedly allow him to soar in a short period and directly reach the level of Tier 3 Peak Powerhouse!
It should be known that with his current age, even if he continued to practice slowly, he might never reach the height of Tier 3 Peak Level in his lifetime!
Now, the Lord standing in front of him casually waved his hand and once again completely changed his life!
Thinking of this, apart from being overjoyed, Roger hurriedly knelt down again, his strong body trembling slightly with excitement, and said gratefully, “Thank you very much, my Lord! I am willing to go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!”
“I look forward to your outstanding performance.”
After helping him up, Leo Ray smiled slightly.
After Roger left excitedly,
Rick and the other five Longbowman squad leaders, Daisy Zuman and Finley, the two Mage squad leaders, and Alan and the three Spearman squad leaders, walked into the room in neat lines.
Then, they bowed together and said, “Greetings to my Lord!”
“You don’t need to be too formal, squad leaders.”
Leo Ray nodded to everyone, and with another mental command, ten storage rings and two hundred Tier 2 Healing Magic Medicines appeared on the wooden table beside them.For a moment, the dazzling storage rings and the exquisitely delicate brocade boxes emitting exotic fragrances were neatly arranged, causing people to involuntarily feel a sense of dizziness.
Undoubtedly, the combined value of these expensive items was at least ten million Gold Dragons!
“As expected from Lord, he casually offers items worth ten million Gold Dragons!”
Realizing this, the team leaders couldn’t help but gulp down their saliva, their faces filled with admiration.
“These are my welcome gifts. Each of you will have a storage ring and 20 Tier-2 healing magic potions for emergencies.”
Looking at the 10 new commanders with dumbfounded expressions, Leo Ray smiled slightly and said, “I hope you can integrate into the territory quickly and contribute to its development.”
“We obey! Please rest assured, my Lord!”
Hearing this, the 10 team leaders were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves, and once again lowered their heads towards Leo Ray.
At this point, all the commanders above the rank of team leader in the territory had been equipped with storage rings and emergency healing magic potions.
This way, with the help of storage rings, they could undoubtedly handle various emergencies more swiftly and efficiently.
Shortly after, just as Leo Ray had left the reception room with the 10 commanders, the Mind Talk notification sounded abruptly.
With confusion, Leo Ray connected the Mind Talk, and Linda’s crisp and energetic voice came to his ear, “Reporting to Lord, Princess Ariel would like to request an audience with you.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly, then asked, “What is the matter?”
“In response to my Lord, due to Saint Night Kingdom’s continuous troop reinforcements at the border these days, the previously eased border conflicts have become extremely tense again.”
At this time, Linda continued, “As a result, minor skirmishes between Coldflame and their rivals have been escalating, seemingly on the verge of a large-scale bloody battle at any time.”
Pausing for a moment, Linda continued, “However, due to the delayed arrival of Coldflame Royal Family’s reinforcements, the Coldflame Army, with inferior military strength, had to switch to a fully defensive position.”
Moreover, under the constant pressure from the opponents, they also lost a lot of land. Hearing this news, Princess Ariel seemed to be planning to visit the border area, which is why she had me inform you of her intention to see you.”
“So that’s the case.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
Not long ago, in the Crystal Kingdom, they had learned through Necromancer Brandon, who tried to turn the entire city into an army of the dead, about the current situation.
Now, while the power struggle between the three princes of Coldflame Kingdom had become intense, the pro-war faction in the Saint Night Kingdom was preparing a massive invasion to take advantage of Coldflame Kingdom’s distraction and occupy large swaths of land.
However, due to the young new king’s fear of war, Saint Night Kingdom hesitated to launch a full-scale attack.
This led to the ultimate decision to employ Necromancer Brandon, intending to force the new king’s hand by first taking drastic actions.
“However, the higher-ups in Saint Night never would have imagined that I would accidentally disrupt their scheme.”
With a smile, Leo Ray thought, “I remember the first time I went to the border battlefield, the Coldflame Army had a great victory. I never expected the situation to completely reverse now.”
“But it may not be a bad thing. As long as Saint Night keeps the border forces of Coldflame occupied, it will be advantageous to my plan to control the entire eastern region of Coldflame.”
Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and continued thinking, “Of course, if Saint Night Army launches a fierce attack intending to annihilate Coldflame border forces and march forward, I naturally cannot sit idly by.”
“That being said, letting the fifth princess of Coldflame, who grew up in luxury, witness the real battlefield might not be a bad thing.”
With that in mind, Leo Ray smiled faintly, “It seems the opportunity to win over Ariel is imminent.”
