Chapter 226 - 226: 226: The News from Kumbu_l
The next second, Linda’s crisp and energetic voice came through: “Good morning, my Lord. I apologize for the disturbance, but I have something important to report.”
“Oh?” Hearing her slightly urgent tone, a look of surprise appeared on Leo Ray’s face, and he replied, “Linda, what happened?”
“My Lord, I’ve just received a report that Kombu, the Chairman of our Cyan
Town Chamber of Commerce, has suddenly gone missing on his way back to
Cyan Town after successfully purchasing a large amount of White Jade Ore.”
Then, Linda’s somewhat puzzled voice rang out again: “My Lord, at the time we learned that Kombu was looking for White Jade Ore, I specifically sent two elite guard teams from the Trading Conference and hired three elite mercenary teams for him, including experienced Tier 2 powerhouses.”
“In theory, a security team of more than 50 people, plus the golden reputation of the trading conference itself, shouldn’t have encountered any issues…”
“So that’s how it is.”
Hearing Linda’s increasingly self-blaming voice on the other end of the mind talk, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a contemplative expression.
Just last night, after constructing the Light Healing House, he had considered this issue, but he didn’t expect such an unexpected turn of events today.
Moreover, from Linda’s description, it seemed that Kombu had successfully purchased White Jade Ore.
From this, it could be seen that as long as they could figure out Kombu’s whereabouts and retrieve the White Jade Ore, they could naturally continue upgrading the Miracle Building.
Speaking of which, although Kombu was a bit slick, after completely controlling Cyan Town, he, as the Chairman of the Cyan Town Chamber of Commerce, played a lot of positive roles.”
“Not only did he actively lobby all the merchants in the city to help us quickly restore Cyan Town’s commerce to normal, but he also provided key intelligence about the Golin City Alchemist Conference. In short, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray began to walk towards the mansion gate while speaking to Linda on the other end of the mind talk: “Well, Linda, the situation is still unclear now, so don’t blame yourself too much.
Today, I plan to go to Cyan Town to follow up on the selection of elite soldiers from the Rhizoma Drynariae and form a Guard Corps, change the equipment of all soldiers in the meantime, and further consolidate the defensive strength of Cyan Town.
During that time, we’ll conduct a detailed investigation.”
After finishing his words, Leo Ray closed the mind talk, pushed open the mansion gate, and strode out.
At this time, two suns were hanging in the sky, and the entire territory was already filled with the scent of cooking.
All the subordinates of the various squads had also formed lines in the wide area in front of the camp gate, starting their daily morning exercise.
The neat and powerful slogans, accompanied by the clashing sounds of metal armor, gave people a strong sense of “armor and iron horses, conquering miles like a tiger”.
After having a simple breakfast,
as usual, Leo Ray immediately assembled all Tier 3 and above powerhouses and commanders from the territory in the main hall of the Lord’s Mansion, getting ready to arrange their daily tasks.
“Everyone, I won’t waste time with pleasantries. Since the three buffer zones have been built, our next main task is undoubtedly building training grounds outside the camp area.”
As he sat on the throne at the top, Leo Ray’s sharp gaze swept back and forth across the neatly arranged subordinates standing below him.”First, the mission of the Half-Elf Squad and the Farmer Squad is still to establish the archer training ground outside the main gate of the territory.”
“Yes, my Lord!” Hearing this, Belinda Wright and Gavin Sullivan both stepped forward, respectfully saluting.
During this process, by checking the overview of the Half-Elf Squad, Leo Ray noticed.
After distributing 50 Qi Condensing Pills last night, all of the remaining Tier 1 archers in the Half-Elf Squad had successfully advanced to the Tier Second.
As a result, the whole squad had become a Tier Second Elite Team, with a significant increase in combat power.
With a satisfied nod, Leo Ray motioned for Belinda Wright and Gavin Sullivan to return to their positions, then continued after a moment of thought, “Next, the Heavy Armour Guards and both Great Swordsman Squads’ task is to open up a new piece of land next to the archer training field for the melee soldiers’ training ground.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
A crisp sound of armor colliding rang out, as Aaron, Bard, and Roger Smith, the three determined-looking middle-aged commanders, immediately took a step forward and saluted Leo Ray.
“Finally, the Mage Squad’s task is to continue the construction of the ‘Eye of Insight’ barrier.”
After that, Leo Ray stood up from his throne and continued.
“Yes, my Lord!” On the other side, Daisy Sasha, wearing her new Tier 3 magic robes, immediately bowed in respect.
“As for Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe, your mission remains the same: to concoct Magic Medicine.”
Walking slowly among his subordinates, Leo Ray spoke to the two unique-looking noble young women in front of him.
“Yes, my Lord!” Hearing this, Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe bowed simultaneously and said in unison.
“Those who weren’t called by name will join me later to go to Cyan Town.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray continued, “Also, about the food reserves, a large amount of Elf Rice has been replenished in several storage rooms nearby. Mixed squads from all teams should hunt regularly in the surrounding area. In short, we must always maintain an adequate food supply in the territory.”
“Yes, my Lord!” Upon hearing this, all of the present subordinates bowed deeply toward Leo Ray to accept their orders.
After the meeting, Leo Ray used Mind Talk to inquire about the construction of the new residential area with Werewolf Tribe Clan Chief Finn Stanley, learning that everything was going smoothly and in order.
Afterward, Leo Ray, dressed neatly, gathered his entourage outside the small gate on the western side of the territory.
Standing on Leo Ray’s left were Taylor, Gideon Black, Scarlett, and Bianca White, while those on the right were Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Abigail, and Amelia.
Looking at the powerful eight powerhouses standing neatly before him, Leo Ray, who had also stepped into the realm of Tier 3 Powerhouses, nodded slightly to them.
Then he said, “Let’s go and investigate what happened to Kombu, who had more than 50 guards on his trip back to Cyan Town.”
The next second, accompanied by a clear howl, Leo Ray, who had mounted his wolf, vanished along with the rest of his subordinates..
