Chapter 282 - 282: The Summoner and the Flame Fighter_l
What entered Leo Ray’s field of vision was not the armored warriors or martial artists he had imagined, but a group of tall, burly chefs and slender servants. Looking closely, Leo Ray saw that on his left hand side stood an upright old man with white hair.
From his immaculate black tailcoat, white shirt, black bowtie, meticulous hairstyle, and white handkerchief draped over his arm, it was clear that he was a well-mannered old steward.
Behind him were four young, attractive maids, dressed in the same black and white uniform.
These maids were elegant and well-groomed compared to ordinary servants. Their makeup and hairstyles had clearly been carefully tended to.
They were almost on par with Abigail, Amelia, and Ariel Watson’s personal maids.
With a slight nod of approval, Leo Ray’s gaze shifted to continue his observation.
On his right hand side were five men holding various kitchen utensils such as pots, spatulas, and knives, dressed in spotless white chef uniforms.
Particularly the one in the lead, a long scar ran diagonally across his coarse face, making him look even more battle-hardened than a typical warrior.
As for their weapons, they were either hanging by their waists or slung on their backs.
In summary, these sturdy chefs all had their own unique qualities, but each of them was an imposing presence.
“Two Tier 3 five-stars and eight Tier 3 three-stars? Goodness, I’ve summoned quite the formidable squad.”
Amidst his surprise, sensing the impressive aura emanating from the ten people before him, Leo Ray couldn’t help but secretly marvel.
On the other side, the old steward and the burly chef leading the group didn’t waste a moment, quickly bringing the other powerful beings behind them over in a jog.
As they approached, the two leaders immediately kneeled down, burying their heads low as they respectfully said, “We greet you, Lord! We are willing to give our all for you, and to add a touch of comfort and pleasure to your life!”
Immediately after, the remaining eight new subordinates also knelt on one knee, swearing loyalty to Leo Ray.
“Rise, our journey ahead is long, and everything now is just the beginning.” With a slight nod, following tradition, Leo Ray bent down to help each person stand up one by one.
Afterward, Leo Ray learned through a brief introduction.
The old steward’s name was Warren Dexter, and the burly man with a scar on his face was Rudy Blues, the Head Chef.
During this process, as they saw the dazzling Miracle Buildings by their side, the orderly formations of eight elite soldiers, and the formidable aura radiated by Taylor and other powerful beings,
The loyalty of these ten Tier 3 new subordinates began to ascend as expected.
[Congratulations, your subordinate Tier 3 five-star Summoner Warren Dexter has developed a great admiration for you. Loyalty increased by 21 points, currently at 71 points.]
[Congratulations, your subordinate Tier 3 five-star Flame Fighter Rudy Blues has developed a great admiration for you. Loyalty increased by 21 points, currently at 71 points.]
[Congratulations, your subordinate…]
“The increase in loyalty of these new subordinates is almost the same as the Tier 2 soldiers. It seems that the two Miracle Buildings and other highlights still have considerable shock value for Tier 3 powerhouses.”
Hearing the continuous prompts in his ear, Leo Ray thoughtfully nodded slightly.
Unquestionably, what he needed to do next was to seize the momentum and raise the loyalty of these subordinates to the maximum.
With this thought, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes and continued to observe.
He discovered that among the new subordinates’ weapons, only Warren Dexter and Rudy Blues had Tier 3 level weapons, while the rest had top-quality ones from Tier 2.
“Old Steward Warren Dexter is a never-before-seen magic-related occupation, a Summoner, with a magic wand as his weapon.”
“As for Head Chef Rudy Blues, he’s a rare Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation powerhouse, with claw stabs as his weapon. It seems that he leans more towards the physical side.
As for the other eight, are they half physical-based and half magic-based occupations? Since I have Tier 1+ weapons for all of them, why not just upgrade them all at once?”Thinking of this, Leo Ray didn’t hesitate.
With a wave of his hand, five Tier 1+ short staves, four Tier 4 claw stabs, and four Tier 4 longswords emitting a strong colorful aura appeared before everyone.
These five Tier 4 magic wands, called Elemental Star Wands, were upgraded from the Mage Squad’s weapons.
And the four Tier 4 longswords, named Hermit Silver Swords, were upgraded from the Heavy Armored Guards Squad’s weapons.
The last claw stabs were spoils of war obtained after defeating Michael Wood at the Immortal Gate.
On the other side, just as the ten new subordinates were amazed at the presence of their Lord, which was no weaker than any of them.
The sudden appearance of the dazzling ten Tier 4 weapons in front of them once again plunged everyone into an irrepressible state of shock.
It is important to know that Tier 4 weapons could be described as being hard to come by.
Even as Tier 3 powerhouses they were, they could spend their entire lives working without food or drink and still have almost no hope of obtaining any.
And the Lord just casually took out ten of them..
“These weapons will serve as my gifts to you, I hope you will adapt to life in the territory as soon as possible,” said Leo Ray, nodding in satisfaction at the stunned expressions of the crowd.
Just like that, through this series of actions, the loyalty of the ten people unpredictably rose to 100 points.
Then, Leo Ray opened the attribute columns of everyone in succession.

After closing the attribute columns of his subordinates, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction.
Undoubtedly, from this moment on, his own forces had once again been greatly strengthened!
However, what happened next was even more surprising to Leo Ray..
