Chapter 641: Chapter 445: Today’s Task Within the Territory_1
At this moment, Leo Ray, seated on the throne at the top, moved his gaze and began to look down at the lower seats.
On his left hand side stood Taylor, Red Night, Gideon Black, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Scarlett, Bianca White, Joshua Bingaman, Orion Wolfe, Abigail, Amelia, and Olivia.
On his right hand side stood Roger Smith, the commander of the Heavy Armored Guards Squad, Luther Blues and Russ Blues, the two commanders of the Heavy Shield Shooter Squad, Gavin Sullivan, the commander of the Farmer Squad, Belinda Wright, the commander of the Half-Elf Archer Squad, and Owen Montgomery, the commander of the Werewolf Warrior Squad.
In addition to them were old steward Warren Dexter and head chef Rudy Blues.
“Are we all here?”
Seeing them all gathered, Leo Ray nodded slightly and said, “Everyone, you’ve worked hard lately.”
Next, Leo Ray focused his gaze on the various commanders and continued, “I’ve checked carefully earlier, the construction and renovation of the city gates, walls, and canteen in the territory have all been completed, haven’t they?”
“My Lord, indeed they have,” replied the middle-aged commander in heavy armor, his temples graying. Roger Smith stepped forward and bowed, “We have completed all the construction and renovation tasks as entrusted by you.”
“Very good, I’m very satisfied with your work.”
Nodding at Roger and the other commanders, Leo Ray then looked at the Tier 3 Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation Head Chef Rudy.
He said, “Rudy, as I promised before, you can start preparing the banquet tonight. Every dish must meet the emperor-level standard. I want to use the most expensive ingredients to reward my soldiers.”
Last night, after Serena and Stella delivered the regular valuables to Linda in Cyan Town, they brought back a large quantity of rare ingredients that had been prepared by Linda according to Leo Ray’s instructions, all in a storage ring.
In addition, Leo Ray had been bringing back a large amount of supplies from Cyan Town to the territory almost every time, making the four ordinary warehouses in the territory constantly full, with an even larger number stored inside the storage wooden boxes.
Therefore, preparing a grand banquet was naturally trivial and more than enough.
“By your command, my Lord!” exclaimed Rudy, wearing a white chef’s uniform as he bowed and then chuckled, “The Magic Martial Kitchen Knife Scorching Shadow given to me by my Lord has been hungry for too long!”
On the other side, the faces of all the subordinates displayed a hint of joy.
It was well known that a Tier 3 powerhouse-level chef was a luxury only enjoyed by the royal family and top aristocratic families.
During this time, the subordinates had already deeply experienced the so-called star cuisine mentioned by their Lord.
With that, coupled with the luxurious ingredients mentioned by their Lord, it was a perfect match. Just thinking about it made their mouths water.
Realizing this, the subordinates couldn’t help but swallow their saliva as their throats moved.
This naturally included the main subordinates such as Taylor, especially the foodie trio Scarlett, Bianca White, and the newly joined Red Night, whose anticipation was written all over their faces.
Even noble ladies like Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe, who were used to gourmet food, showed anticipation. They had also never seen or enjoyed the extraordinary culinary skills of Rudy and the others before.
“However, having said that, rewarding is one thing, but we’re not in a position to relax yet. Everyone, please bear this in mind,” said Leo Ray, his expression turning solemn again. “Today, each team will have a day of adjustment. The task is to conduct an emergency defense drill.”After a pause, Leo Ray added, “The commander-in-chief shall be Roger, who has the most experience among the commanders here, and Belinda, the half-elf, shall be the deputy commander as they are more adept at dealing with this kind of forest terrain.”
“Yes, my Lord!” Upon hearing this, all the commanders saluted and bowed in unison.
“In case of emergencies in the territory, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander will remain the same as before. When I am not here, the territory will be under your care.”
Leo Ray looked at Roger and Belinda solemnly, then turned his gaze to the old steward.
He slightly nodded to the old steward and said, “Warren, besides your regular duties and assisting in the drills, do not neglect the surveillance work at the Illusory Vision Tower. For the time being, it’s more difficult due to the limited manpower in the territory.”
“Understood, my Lord. It is an immense honor for us to relieve you of any worries.”
The old steward, dressed in a tailcoat, quickly responded with a bow.
“Very well,” Leo Ray nodded satisfactorily and said, “Utilize today’s defense drills and the evening banquet as a day of adjustment for all squads. Tomorrow, I will have new tasks for you.”
After his subordinates bowed and responded, Leo Ray’s deep eyes shifted.
He looked at Orion Wolfe, Joshua Bingaman, and Olivia, then said, “The work of the two alchemists goes without saying, continue refining Qi Condensing Pills, while Olivia can concentrate on cultivating as I’ve mentioned before.”
“Understood! Please rest assured, my Lord!” The crisp voices sounded and the three ladies bowed together.
“Good.” Leo Ray nodded slightly, noting that Olivia’s breath had grown significantly stronger than before, successfully advancing to the level of Tier 3 powerhouses.
Upon noticing this, Leo Ray opened her attribute column through the territory subordinates overview interface.
[Name: Leah Johnson]
[Occupation: Intermediate Illusionist]
[Tier: Tier 3 One-Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill One: Flower in Mirror ‘Active’ (Initiate illusion realm, project everything in the territory, causing illusions)]
[Skill Two: Moon in Water ‘Active’ (Initiate illusion realm, create intermediate illusions with great effect on targets below Tier 3 One-Star)]
[Skill Three: Illusion Mastery ‘Passive’ (Significantly increase illusion effects when using illusions)]
“Well done, both the strength and skill effects have been improved.” Satisfied with what he saw, Leo Ray nodded.
Next, Leo Ray looked at Taylor and other main subordinates and said, “As for the rest of the main force, come with me to Golin City.”
With a slight smile, he continued, “Now that we have the ability to lift the Magic Restriction of the Immortal Gate, it’s natural for us to unveil its mystery.”
“Yes, my Lord!” Hearing this, Taylor and the others saluted confidently.
Before long, the well-prepared group appeared in front of the western city gate of the territory.
Immediately afterwards, Leo Ray mounted the white giant wolf and said, “Let’s go! Our destination is Golin City!”
