Chapter 376 - 324: Preparation Work Completed【5K】_2
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied expression on his face.
Next, as Leo Ray stretched his muscles, he spoke to the young lady of Milan Town, “By the way, Xenia Blackwood, how are those two Tier 3 Defense Army Commanders under your command doing?”
“My Lord, ever since the day you left, those two have shown great enthusiasm. They were always at the forefront when clearing the remnants of the three elders’ forces.”
Xenia Blackwood smiled and replied, “My subordinate guesses that it’s probably because they witnessed your magnificent and overbearing demeanor that day.
Their guts must be full of regrets. One can imagine that if they hadn’t remained neutral at that time but chose to show loyalty to us, they might have received some rewards from you as well, my Lord.”
“I see.”
Smiling faintly, Leo Ray turned around and walked towards the treasure vault filled to the brim, while asking sideways, “So, are these two quite good?”
“Yes, my Lord, they are indeed.”
Xenia quickly lifted her skirt and followed Leo Ray’s side, “These two have been in Milan Town for over a decade, and their integrity is absolutely beyond question.”
At this point, Xenia’s eyes lit up, and she continued, “If my Lord finds them worthy, why not take these two under your command as well? This way, Milan Town will be completely stable.”
“That’s a good idea. Have them come see me.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and left the treasure vault.
A moment later, in the spacious and bright main hall of the Milan Town castle, Leo Ray looked around.
By now, the place had been cleaned thoroughly, even the rough and distinctive marble tiles were polished brightly, and a faint fragrance of flowers filled the air.
This fragrance came from two small, colorful flower beds surrounding the City Lord’s throne.
Upon closer inspection, these brightly colored flowers were all semi-transparent crystals and emitted a faint fluorescent light, like exquisite works of art, making it hard for people to take their eyes off them.
These were not here during his last visit; it must be Xenia’s personal hobby.
In any case, it was hard to imagine that not long ago, this place was a battlefield filled with corpses.
“My Lord, these are rare magical flowers that require a small amount of magic to be watered. I have been cultivating them for many years, but they have never bloomed before.”
Seeing Leo Ray’s interested expression, Xenia smiled and introduced softly, “It wasn’t until I advanced to the Tier 3 stage that they started to bloom one after another. In a way, I have you to thank for it, my Lord.”
“I see.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray stopped in front of the flowers and nodded slightly.
A moment later, accompanied by the crisp sound of clashing armor,
Two sturdy figures appeared at the entrance of the hall, who were the two Defense Army Commanders of Milan Town.
As soon as they saw Xenia, they immediately bowed.
Then, when they saw Leo Ray standing calmly not far away, they couldn’t help but light up, also quickly performing a standard Knight’s salute to Leo Ray.
Without a doubt, Leo Ray’s previous display of power and wealth left a deep impression on them.
“Cavalry Commander Brandon, Infantry Commander Henry, I’m sure you’re no strangers to this gentleman, right?”
On the other side, Xenia, as the City Lord, also respectfully greeted Leo Ray before saying, “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be the one standing as the City Lord in front of you today.”
Hearing this, the two Defense Army Commanders couldn’t help but reveal an awkward smile, and one of them hurriedly said, “City Lord, at that time, we didn’t think it through, and now we are filled with regrets.”
At this point, regretful expressions appeared on their determined faces once more.
Otherwise, they would have had a chance to get to know this young man with a profound background in front of them.
“Now the second chance for you two has arrived.”
After smiling at the two, and with Leo Ray’s permission, Xenia informed them of Leo Ray’s identity as an Otherworldly Lord.
Of course, this also included their current important goal, the matter of Princess Ariel’s party.
Additionally, the re-equipment of Milan Town’s forces, along with providing an abundance of Tier 3 Equipment and Qi Condensing Pills, and forming a Guard Corps.
Meanwhile, the imposing Taylor had already completely sealed off the entire room, leaving the two commanders dumbfounded.
Scarlett, who had just been promoted to a Tier 4 Powerhouse, deliberately stood next to the two as well, fully releasing her formidable aura, her pretty face sporting an inscrutable expression.
At this moment, a storm was stirred in the hearts of the two commanders.
Originally, they thought the young man before them must be a young master from some aristocratic family.
However, now they realized that this calm-faced young man had even greater power than they had imagined, to the point of being awe-inspiring!
Realizing this, without any hesitation, the two of them kneeled on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Leo Ray, exclaiming in unison, “We pledge our loyalty to you, my Lord! We will go through fire and water for you!”
