Chapter 158 - 158: Strategy in Warfare_l
Seeing the astonished faces of everyone, Leo Ray stood up from his throne, bypassed the valuable magic medicines lying in front of him, and slowly approached the crowd.
There were a total of 379 Qi Condensing Pills on the ground.
It was just enough to be distributed among the territory’s 200 Great
Swordsmen who hadn’t reached the Tier 2 Nine-Star level yet, along with the 99 Half-Elf archers, excluding Belinda Wright, and the 80 farmers, including Gavin Sullivan, giving one pill to each person.
Standing in front of Aaron, Bard, Belinda Wright, and Gavin Sullivan, Leo Ray smiled faintly at these managers and said, “During the days I was away, each of you performed excellently, and I have seen your outstanding achievements.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray continued, “These Qi Condensing Pills will be enough for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 personnel, including yourselves, to improve their strength to another level. Consider it a reward for your outstanding performances, and I hope you all continue to work hard and not to disappoint me.”
“Many thanks to My Lord!”
Hearing this, everyone in the management team showed ecstatic expressions and hurriedly expressed their gratitude to Leo Ray.
Among them, Belinda Wright and Gavin Sullivan, who had already witnessed
Leo Ray’s generosity, were barely able to control their emotions. However, Aaron and Bard, who had only recently joined the territory, were almost ecstatically dancing with excitement.
These Great Swordsmen were just summoned, and Lord Ray generously provided them with expensive Tier 3 swords and armor worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
Now, they were rewarded with a Tier 2 magic drug, also worth tens of thousands of gold coins, even though they had only been in the territory for less than two days without making any contributions yet!
Despite this, Lord Ray’s grace was endless, making everyone feel incredibly grateful and eager to fight for him at once.
No doubt, not even a king could match Lord Ray’s generosity!
At this thought, Aaron and Bard, the two middle-aged commanders who had experienced countless battles, could no longer contain their excitement and involuntarily said in unison, “We are willing to go through fire and water for My Lord, without any hesitation!”
“All of you, stand up.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray bent down to help the two men stand up and continued, “Remember, each of you is an indispensable part of the territory’s strength. As long as we work together, everything in the future will get better and better.”
“Yes, sir!” On the other side, the strong and steady voices of Aaron and Bard rang out, as they clenched their fists and said firmly.
“Alright, let’s move on to serious matters now.”
Waving his hand gently, indicating the subordinates to gather, Leo Ray immediately briefed them on the current situation and informed the subordinates who had stayed behind in the territory.
Immediately after, Leo Ray, hands behind his back, strolled and spoke, “Due to our previous series of arrangements, current intense border conflicts between Coldflame and Sacred Night, and the struggle for power in the Royal Capital, the Coldflame Royal Family can’t spare any attention for our territory.”
Nodding at his subordinates, Leo Ray continued, “Therefore, before the fifth princess of Coldflame arrives with the ambassador delegation in Cyan Town, we must take advantage of this time to quickly develop and pacify the Half-Orc tribes north of the Hundred Ranges.”
At this point, looking at Aaron and Bard, who had recently arrived, Leo Ray continued, “According to the location roughly fifteen kilometers to the northeast of our territory.
There is a hidden pass, the only route connecting our territory with the Half-Orc tribes. The invading 2500 -strong Half-Orc army of the Moonwhite Tribe had marched directly through there into the Demonic Shadow Forest.
Although that Half-Orc army has been completely annihilated, we cannot rule out the possibility of further invasions from them. Thus, these Half-Orc tribes are no doubt a huge boulder hanging over our heads.”
“My Lord’s words are absolutely right.”
On the other side, Gideon Black gracefully pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued, “As long as we shatter this boulder hanging over our heads, we can then fully focus on the Coldflame Kingdom.”
Pausing for a moment, Gideon Black added, “Of course, we must not ignore the mysterious organization.”Upon hearing this, everyone revealed an enlightened expression.
Among them, the half-elf Belinda Wright clenched her teeth and fists as an involuntary chill spread across her pretty face.
Undoubtedly, it was those despicable half-orcs who had burned her home, causing her to lose hundreds of her kin forever!
Noticing Belinda’s reaction, Leo Ray gently patted her, whose delicate body was trembling with anger, and softly said, “Don’t worry, I will help you take revenge this time.”
After finishing speaking, under the grateful gaze of the half-elf girl, Leo Ray turned around and asked the burly man on the other side, “Taylor, what do you think about the half-orc incident?”
“My Lord, although the half-orc army has been annihilated, given their nature of bearing grudges, the other half-orcs of the same tribe will definitely not let go easily. Sooner or later, they will invade the forest again.
Therefore, just as you said, My Lord, the sooner we eradicate this problem, the better.”
A rough voice sounded, and Taylor stepped forward, clasping his fists, “I believe that since the various half-orc tribes are not united and are often in a hostile state,
we can make further arrangements after investigating the distribution of their forces and their hostile relationships.”
“Very good! If they are not united, things will be much simpler.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray gazed deeply, smiling faintly, “In summary, as the saying goes, attack the enemy’s strategy first. In the current situation where our troops are insufficient,
the main purpose of our operation is still to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy. We must focus on assassination, ambush and using their enemies against them, and eliminate this threat as soon as possible with the least cost.”
“Yes, My Lord!”
On the other side, all the subordinates bowed their heads respectfully to Leo
Ray.
“Alright, the investigation will begin tomorrow, and that’s all for today.”
After announcing the end of the meeting, Leo Ray signaled Belinda and other management personnel to distribute the Qi Condensing Pills.
Next, he gathered Stella Clark, Serena Clark, Scarlett, Joshua Bingaman, Orion Wolfe, Abigail, and Amelia together.
After enquiring and confirming that everyone had completely absorbed the medicinal power of the Rose Gathering Energy Pills consumed yesterday, he gave them each another one.
Among them, especially Orion Wolfe and Amelia, who received this Tier 3 permanent strength-enhancing magic medicine for the first time, were extremely excited.
As for Belinda, who had just become a Tier 3 powerhouse, she couldn’t consume another one until tomorrow since she had already taken one today.
“You can all go back and refine it.”
After gesturing for the excited people to disperse, Leo Ray called Aaron and Bard over and learned that the equipment replaced by the great swordsmen had been stored in the storage room.
Immediately, under the bright moonlight, he went to the location and collected all 200 sets of greatswords and plate armor into his space bracelet.
“Goodness, they’re all Tier 2 equipment.”
Overjoyed, Leo Ray returned to the Mansion and transferred the equipment to the huge storage wooden box, promptly starting the upgrade..
