Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 576
Chapter 576: Chapter 413: Teran’s Loyalty_2
Immediately after, while gently helping Te Lan up, Leo Ray opened the other party’s attribute panel.
[Name: Tran]
[Occupation: Ice Mage]
[Tier: Tier 3 Nine-Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill One: Ice Crossbow ‘Active’ (Ice attribute spell for single target attack, with an added slowing effect)]
[Skill Two: Snowy Ice Land ‘Active’ (Ice attribute spell for group attack, with an added slowing effect)]
[Skill Three: Ice Magic Proficiency ‘Passive’ (When using ice attribute magic, significantly increases damage)]
Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.
With the loyalty of Firsdale City Lord Tran, this undoubtedly meant that another new city would be added to his own domain after Cyan Town, Maron City, Magnet Town, Mystara City, Redarrow City, and six cities in the Crystal Kingdom!
Afterward, upon further understanding, Leo Ray learned that the overall strength of Firsdale City was not much different from that of the nearby Mystara City.
There were two elite Royal Guard squads in the city, one being an elite Tier 2 Mage squad and the other an elite Tier 2 Heavy Infantry squad, both of which were led by the two Iceflow Family elders just now.
As for the ordinary defense army, there were four brigades, including two light infantry brigades and two light cavalry brigades, with all four brigade leaders being Tier 3 Senior powerhouse level.
“In other words, Firsdale City has a total of 7 Tier 3 powerhouses, 200 Tier 2 elite forces, and 4,000 defense soldiers? Not bad, not bad.”
“Most importantly, there are two highly mobile light cavalry brigades. In this region dominated by plains, if war breaks out and the cavalry is properly deployed, they can undoubtedly play a decisive role.”
With that thought, Leo Ray stood up from his throne and waved his hand.
In an instant, 200 sets of Tier 3 magic robes and Tier 3 magic staffs, as well as 200 sets of Tier 3 heavy armor, shields, and daggers, appeared in front of everyone.
The equipment for these mages was upgraded from the Winged Race’s barrier and Elf relics near Penelope’s territory not long ago.
As for the heavy infantry equipment, they were naturally obtained from the Half-Orc Corps.
“A million… a million thanks, my Lord!”
On the other side, how could Tran not be excited, as he looked at the piles of colorful equipment on the ground, his eyes nearly popped out, and he repeatedly thanked Leo Ray.
“Lord Tran, there is no need for manners.”
With a slight smile, Leo Ray walked down from the high platform where the throne was, and said: “With this equipment, the two Royal Guard squads of Firsdale City can have a complete transformation and a significant increase in combat power.”
After a pause, Leo Ray continued: “However, when it comes to equipping the entire unit, it is better to do it slowly rather than hastily, as on the surface, this place is still a city belonging to Coldflame.”
Just as Leo Ray had arranged in Mystara City earlier.
Since both Firsdale City and Mystara City are located on the edge of the Coldflame Eastern Region, close to the core of Coldflame, the large-scale high-profile change of equipment would inevitably attract the attention of other nearby cities and even the Coldflame Royal Family.
So, the degree of this operation must be properly managed.
“Yes, my Lord!”
Hearing this, and amidst his excitement, Tran understood and immediately bowed and saluted.
“Very well, as for the scale of Firsdale City’s defense forces, quickly expand them to 5,000 soldiers. At the same time, the development and construction of the city’s defenses and infrastructure need to be further stepped up.”
On the other side, Leo Ray nodded slightly, having already walked up to Tran’s side.
Immediately after, before Tran could react,With just a thought from Leo Ray, hundreds of boxes full of gold coins appeared around the two of them.
For a moment, the dazzling golden light, mixing with the various colors of the piled-up equipment, made the entire hall sparkle brilliantly.
“These one million gold coins will serve as the city’s development fund.”
Seeing their stunned faces again, Leo Ray smiled slightly, and then handed over a brand new storage ring, a Tier 4 Magic Wand, and ten Tier 2 Healing Magic Medicines.
Soon after, he said to Tran, “These three items are my gifts for you, especially these Tier 2 Magic Medicines, which can help you recover to your peak condition as quickly as possible.”
“I really can’t thank you enough, Lord!”
At this moment, Tran was already so excited that he couldn’t contain himself, and once again bowed his head deeply towards Leo Ray.
Afterward, since it was already past noon,
Leo Ray and his group of ten enjoyed a lavish lunch hosted by City Lord Tran.
After that, Leo Ray gave Joshua Bingaman and Abigail half a day’s leave so that they could have a good reunion with their families.
Subsequently, as the day of the agreed joint exploration of the unknown ruins with Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City approached, Leo Ray instructed Serena and Stella to bring the tokens of the Blue Rose Knights and Broken Blade Knights and inform the two captains, Tina and Layne.
“I’ve learned that the Blue Rose Knights are stationed in Iron Fort, and the Broken Blade Knights are stationed in Bellflowers City, both located approximately midway between Viennas City and Cyan Town.”
“If we can successfully recruit these two independent knight corps, each consisting of 3,000 troops and having a higher combat power than the average defense army, it would undoubtedly be greatly beneficial to our territory.”
With this in mind, Leo Ray bid farewell to Tran
and then left the ancient castle with the remaining five, Taylor, Gideon Black, Scarlett, Bianca White, and Amelia, walking straight to the busy streets of Firsdale City.
Walking through the bustling yet quaint market, Leo Ray looked at the busy crowd around him and couldn’t help but think to himself.
As a comprehensive city with agricultural, commercial, and handicraft industries, although Firsdale City seems quite ordinary in many aspects,
its level of prosperity is not inferior to that of the nearby Mystara City.
“After all, this city has been standing on this land for more than six hundred years since the time of the Hero King, and its foundation is quite impressive. By the way, I’ve already asked Tran to sort out Firsdale City’s treasure vault so we can have a good upgrade later.”
Just as Leo Ray thought of this,
the group of six had already arrived at a large open-air pub.
In an instant, the breeze blew gently, and the muffled clattering of wooden beer mugs, jesting laughter and scolding, and loud discussions
mixed with the smell of alcohol and roasted meat rushed towards the group.
Sniffing lightly, Leo Ray moved his gaze and focused on the interior of the open-air pub.
Under the red canopies, nearly all the differently dressed mercenaries were bantering with each other while eating and drinking heartily.
“Being able to enjoy delicious food here before nightfall is a luxury reserved for these mercenaries who have just completed their tasks. I must say, such a lively and commonplace scene, full of worldly pleasures, is always desirable no matter where you go.”
Watching the lively scene in front of him, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly.
Just as Leo was about to leave, the conversation of a group of mercenaries nearby reached his ears.
“Hey, you guys, have you ever heard of the legendary Map of Chaos?”
With the soft sound of a beer mug being placed on the table, a mysterious voice rang out.
“Map of Chaos? What’s that?”
After the gulping sound of beer, another sharp voice responded, “Old Black, where did you hear this rumor? Last time you said there must be treasures in that Rock-horned Wolf den, we almost lost our lives!”
“Yeah, yeah, we risked our lives and turned the Rock-horned Wolf den upside down, only to find a few dry balls of poop and not even a fart!”
Then the teasing began all at once.
“Guys, don’t misunderstand, the Map of Chaos is an extremely rare item, we don’t have the ability to obtain it even if we wanted! As for the last time, hehe, that was purely an accident, purely an accident.”
Hearing this, the first voice laughed, “That’s right, I heard that the Map of Chaos is very strange. The terrains and landmarks on it are all jumbled and extremely chaotic, as if they were haphazardly pieced together…”
At this point, Leo Ray’s eyes lit up as if he had remembered something.
