Chapter 267 - 267: The Territory in the Mine_l
At this moment, Leo Ray, who was sitting on the throne in the main hall of the mansion, slightly shifted his gaze, continuing to look at the semi-transparent private message interface that appeared in front of him.
‘ …just when my sister and I were both somewhat puzzled.
From behind the other party’s subordinates, a burly man with extraordinary momentum walked out, likely reaching the Tier 2 level.
With such strength, it’s clear that my sister and I’s subordinates are no match… And there must be valuable items in that cave.
So, if Master Leo has time, would you be able to help us?
Only Master Leo can repel them.
Of course, after the matter is completed, we will still follow Master Leo’s previous distribution method of eight to two for the spoils of war.”
Upon reading the private message from Solomon Rue, Leo Ray’s face had a thoughtful expression.
For him, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity for treasure hunting and adventure.
As for those peace-loving Lords, Leo Ray didn’t really care about them; he could simply intimidate them on the side.
Without a doubt, these various Lords could still, in the future, restrain Coldflame’s forces in various places, as long as they didn’t threaten himself.
Moreover, it would not be a loss for Solomon and Sylvia either.
Although they could only get 20% of the spoils of war, if he did not take action, the two of them would naturally get nothing.
“It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, and the teleportation and returning crystals are quite convenient, so let’s just go on a trip. By the way, although teleportation crystals and returning crystals can only be used once every 24 hours,
their essence is to seal a kind of space teleportation magic.
So, once a Tier 5 Spatial Magic Instructor, Jasper Richardson, had always been curious about researching these things in his spare time.
In the end, he modified one for each of us, removing the time limit for use in case of emergencies.
So, even if something goes wrong with Penelope, I can still make it in time.”
With that thought, Leo Ray did not hesitate and directly replied with the word
Immediately, Solomon informed him of the agreed-upon time with the other party, which was still 7 0’clock tonight.
Next, after telling Solomon that he would use a teleportation crystal to arrive at the appointed time,
Leo Ray closed the semi-transparent interface in front of him, stood up from the throne, and returned outside.
At this time, dusk had arrived and the faint light from the two sunsets made everything around darker.
And the entire territory was still bustling with the sound of construction.
Moreover, many places were lit with tiny white lights, which were the glow emitted by the Light Crystal Stones.
Arriving at the edge of the territory, Leo Ray walked into a fortress that had been transformed into a barracks and noticed that it was mostly cleaned up. Inside the circular space,
numerous beds were neatly arranged, interspersed with bedside cabinets and storage cabinets, looking very clean and tidy.
Walking up the spacious stone staircase to the second floor, Leo Ray discovered that the furniture and beds on the second floor were almost identical to the first floor.
However, since this type of two-story fortress had no direct access to the top of the city walls, these furnishings were temporarily piled to one side.
At the center of the second floor, Fiona Harding, the newly summoned captain of the Shadow Squad, led other ordinary soldiers in building a new staircase to the top of the city wall using large, cut stone slabs.
Next to them was a large bucket of mixed concrete.
At this point, it was obvious that the project was more than halfway done.And, a skylight has been chiseled out at the position of the roof, just right for soldiers to pass in and out.
Looking at the last trace of orange afterglow coming from the skylight, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction.
“Greetings, Lord!”
On the other side, seeing Lord coming, Fiona Harding immediately led the soldiers to put down their tools, and bowed together in unison. “Keep it up, you’re doing great.”
With a slight nod of his head, Leo Ray waved his hand casually.
After that, Leo Ray took a tour of the other barracks in succession, finding that the construction projects were progressing very well.
At the two main gates at the front and rear of the territory, the construction was led by two Heavy Shield Shooter Squads and a Werewolf Warrior Squad, all of whom had extensive experience in construction.
They were seen carefully measuring the length of the gate and drawbridge brought back by Leo Ray while referring to the drawn construction plans of the city gates, looking very professional.
Under Gavin Sullivan’s leadership, the Farmer Squad had also started cooking, boiling water, washing rice, cutting meat, and washing vegetables, all in a very busy state.
“These dug-up, smokeless stoves are good, but cooking outdoors is not a lonq-term solution. After the city walls are built, let’s replace them with Werewolf Tribe’s stone smokeless stoves, and build a stone house on top of them to create a real kitchen.”
Making up his mind, Leo Ray opened the overall overview of the Farmer Squad.
He found that after so many days of being washed in the Qi Condensing Pill, a few people like Gavin Sullivan had reached the Tier 2 Three-star level.
As for the other common farmers, they have almost all reached Tier 1 Nine-Star, their strength has evidently made tremendous progress.
“Not bad at all; it seems that all of my direct subordinates will soon reach the
Tier 2 level. ”
Raising his eyebrows in satisfaction, Leo Ray sent out a mind talk, notifying the powerful forces of the territory to prepare to go to Golin City after dinner.
Then, he went back to the mansion, casually sat on the top open-air platform of a small newly-built fortress on both sides, enjoying the cool night breeze and gazing at the dusk sky as he quietly waited for the arrival of night.
After dining, Leo Ray gathered all the powerful forces for this operation in front of the Lord’s Mansion.
Due to the absence of Gideon Black and Serena and Stella, Taylor and Scarlett, this time Leo Ray took Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe, two Tier 3 Peak-level powerful mages with him.
Apart from these, it was still the old lineup, including Abigail, Amelia, and Bianca White.
In the territory, Belinda Wright and Owen Montgomery, both three-tier powerhouses, were left along with eight middle teams to guard the home.
“Alright, let’s prepare to set off.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray handed out Illusion Cloaks to every powerful person while speaking.
A moment later, after everyone was dressed, Leo Ray immediately crushed the teleportation crystal in his hand.
Following that, a pale gray strange energy wrapped Leo Ray and the six others completely.
Next, a minute of waiting time passed quickly.
With a flash of a strong light, when Leo Ray’s vision cleared again,
He found that his party of eight had arrived in a rather dark and spacious cave.
Under the illumination of some fluorescent stones emitting a pale milky white light,
They could vaguely see traces of broken rail tracks around them, creating a sense of quietness.
It seems that this was an abandoned mine.
And standing in front of Leo Ray and his party were the excited brother and sister duo Solomon and Sylvia, along with several ordinary subordinates in farmers’ attire.
Behind them were two identical Tier 3 Lord’s Mansions, seven or eight wooden ordinary residential houses and storage rooms.
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but look surprised, “Good lord, so these two people’s Lord’s Mansions are actually in an abandoned mine..”
