Chapter 1033: Chapter 638: Prelude to War_2
After completing his routine cultivation, Leo Ray, refreshed and in high spirits, pulled open the curtains, opened the metal window, and gazed at the hazy mist outside, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
His gaze crossed the towering city walls and the soldiers on guard, and he could see a continuous expanse of lush greenery in the distance.
The early morning forest always had a misty and vibrant appearance, making everything seem so full of life.
Feeling the refreshing and uplifting scene, Leo Ray murmured to himself, “My strength has reached the double tier 3 peak level for several days now. Next, I just need to wait for the tier 4 magic pill to advance.”
Slowly retracting his gaze, Leo Ray headed towards the washroom.
Not long after, a refreshed Leo Ray stepped out of the Lord’s suite.
He went straight to the Lord’s office, and after receiving five tier 2 recruitment orders, a returning crystal, and contacting Solomon and Sylvia for upgrade materials.
Leo Ray easily obtained 12,000 units of copper ingots, along with the corresponding amount of copper ore and wood.
“The number of copper ingots has reached 24,900 units now? There’s still some left to reach the 30,000 units needed for the upgrade, so let’s continue to produce copper ingots at full capacity for one more day.”
Having made the decision, Leo Ray completed the transaction with Solomon and Sylvia for the required materials.
Just as Leo Ray finished dealing with all of this, the sound of a rapid mental communication suddenly resounded in his ears.
In his confusion, Leo Ray noticed that the frequency of this mental communication was significantly faster than before.
Undoubtedly, this meant that more than one of his subordinates had initiated this special skill that had been deeply engraved in their minds during the contract signing.
Without hesitation, he immediately connected the call.
Immediately, the voices of Shadow Squad commanders Dean and Fiona Harding came through almost simultaneously, “Good morning, My Lord!”
Upon hearing each other’s voices, they both seemed to hesitate for a moment before resuming their chorus, “Reporting to My Lord, there’s an emergency military situation!”
“Take your time, no need to rush,” Leo Ray responded, sensing their urgency.
“Reporting to My Lord, the forces of the Second Prince faction that my unit is closely monitoring in this area, led by Iron Fort, have all suddenly undergone large-scale military mobilization without exception!” Fiona Harding’s clear and stern voice sounded first.
“Reporting to My Lord, the forces of the Great Prince faction that my unit is closely monitoring, led by Pinehaven City, are also currently assembling their troops on a large scale and preparing for war!” Dean’s solemn voice followed closely.
“It seems it’s about to begin…” Hearing this report within his expectations, Leo Ray nodded slightly and asked as he walked towards the Lord’s office, “Apart from this, are there any other clues on the reason or target of these two factions mobilizing their armies?”
“My Lord, the opponent’s actions are almost impeccable, and even the commanders have already settled in the well-defended barracks or heavily fortified City Lord Mansions. It’s impossible to get any further information,” Dean replied somewhat helplessly. He continued, “I’ve tried everything I could, including disguising, infiltrating, and sneaking in, but my efforts have been in vain. After all, the core areas of the City Lord Mansions and the barracks have sophisticated detection magic arrays, making it impossible to get a single step closer.”
“My Lord, the situation on my side is pretty much the same.”
Fiona Harding’s crisp voice rang out: “These enemy commanders are very cautious, and the lower-ranking soldiers don’t know anything about the core secrets. So, I can only monitor and analyze the real-time dynamics of the opponents by watching the periphery of important facilities such as barracks and City Lord Mansions.”
“You’ve done well. If we were to act rashly and arouse suspicion, it would only make the opponents more alert.”Having said that, Leo Ray had already gone down the spiral staircase and arrived in the spacious and bright castle hall on the first floor.
Waving his hand at the waiting Old Steward Warren Dexter and others, indicating not to make a sound, Leo Ray said again, “Always keep an eye on both of their movements. If any troops leave their respective territories, be sure to inform me at the first opportunity.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
The voices of the two Shadow Squad commanders came through simultaneously.
Closing the mind talk, Leo Ray took the cup of black tea and took a sip before telling the old steward next to him, “Warren, instruct everyone that from now on, the territory will maintain a state of silence. Nobody is allowed to make loud noises.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
The old steward bowed and went to fulfill his orders.
“Now, it’s time for me to check on the condition of the protective city river.”
Making up his mind, Leo Ray strode out of the Lord’s Mansion.
Walking towards the rising sun, it didn’t take long for Leo Ray to arrive directly atop the nearest city wall.
Looking down from the wall, Leo Ray was delighted to find that the deep trench outside the wall had been filled with water.
At a glance, the shimmering water made one feel refreshed.
Moreover, judging by the ripples on the water’s surface, the newly built protective city river was obviously connected to the surrounding natural streams and not stagnant water.
“With this, the territory’s protective city river I have been longing for is finally completed perfectly!”
Looking at the 10-meter-wide stream, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction.
After having a sumptuous breakfast with his subordinates, Leo Ray gathered all the important personnel in the mansion hall, as usual.
During this time, Leo Ray also received reports from Rose Marquis, Asher Porter, Rita, and others one after another.
From this, it was not difficult to see that the prelude to a full-scale war had indeed sounded throughout every corner of this region.
At this moment, Leo Ray, who was sitting on the throne, moved his dark eyes and began to look at the first seats below.
On his right-hand side were the commander of the territory’s garrison troops, heavy armored Guard Captain Roger Smith, half-elf archer team leader Belinda Wright, logistics commander Old Steward Warren Dexter, deputy logistics commanders Rudy Blues and Gavin Sullivan.
Further back, there were Dragon Rider Captain Sean, werewolf squad leader Owen Montgomery, two heavy shield shooter squad leaders Luther and Russ Blues, two mage squad leaders Daisy Zuman and Finley, five longbowman squad leaders Rick and others, as well as three spearman squad leaders, including Alan.
On his left-hand side were his main subordinates: Taylor, Gideon Black, Leah, Burt, Joshua, Ariel Watson, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Scarlett, Joshua Bingaman, Orion Wolfe, Bianca White, Abigail, Amelia, Olivia, and newly joined female necromancer Lina.
Leo Ray’s gaze swept across every familiar face in the first seats, feeling a warm current of reassurance in his heart and secretly lamenting, “My team of subordinates has really become more and more powerful. With these guys by my side, I feel invincible.”
In addition to this, without hesitation, Leo Ray first connected with the leaders of each subordinate territory, as well as the half-elf Valley and Finn Stanley of the Snowwolf Clan, and then instructed Dean and Fiona Harding to retell their reports.
During this process, the City Lords, who also had their respective intelligence systems, made corresponding supplements.
Ultimately, it all pointed to the large forces of the Great Prince and Second Prince in this region, apparently preparing for a large-scale war, but the target and purpose were still unclear.
After hearing this series of reports, the faces of the subordinates present were stern and ready-to-go.
During this time, under the Lord’s grace, everyone present had made considerable progress that they had not dared to imagine before.
Now, as war approaches, it is naturally time for them to repay their Lord!
In the first seat, Leo Ray, sitting on the throne, looked at the boiling fighting spirit of his subordinates and nodded with satisfaction, then began the pre-war mobilization.
