“This clear little stream constantly bubbling from the spring, due to the lower terrain, is not very long, only running through half of the territory.”

“And in other areas near the territory, there are several similar streams with varying elevations.”

As he thought about this, Leo Ray squatted down, gently touching the cool and transparent stream water while looking at his reflection in it, continuing to think.

“If we could connect these streams to the large moat outside the city wall, forming a perfect water source circulation system, then the territory would have a protective city river, wouldn’t it?”

Realizing this, a trace of joy appeared on Leo Ray’s face.

“At this stage, although the territory’s city wall, with the help of a row of fortresses, has reached an astonishing height of nearly 10 meters, the current 3×3 meter moat is still a bit too thin.”

“After the crenellations, gun platforms and two city gates are fully built, we must first expand it to a width of 5 meters.”

Having made up his mind, Leo Ray flicked the drops of water from his hand and stood back up.

At this moment, in the sky above the azure filled with white clouds, the light emitted by the two suns gradually diminished.

It seemed that sunset was just around the corner.

“Receiving Princess Ariel and her party in the morning, then making the territory look brand new in the afternoon, I have to say today is another busy day.”

Stretching lazily, Leo Ray walked towards his mansion in the center of the territory, continuing to think.

Most importantly, he now had 10 Tier 2 Elite Squads, all equipped with Tier 3 gear!

These were temporarily stationed in Cyan Town: two Great Swordsman squads, and one Mage squad.

And in the territory: two Heavy Shield Shooter squads, two Shadow squads, one Half-elf Archer squad, one Heavy Armored Guard squad, and one Werewolf Warrior squad.

“With such forces, if we encounter that original invading half-orc army again, in just ten minutes, I could completely annihilate them with minimal cost.”

Thinking about this, while excited, Leo Ray couldn’t help but feel somewhat emotional.

Without a doubt, compared to before, his power had already changed dramatically!

“But then again, whether it’s the Coldflame Royal Family, which has 8 legions and its subordinate cities with varying troop numbers,

Or the mysterious organization that seems to sneak around with at least 7 Tier

5 powerhouses,

Even the unknown great catastrophe that could happen at any time, the path ahead is still long and arduous.”

Leo Ray continued to think with a slight smirk.

“In any case, the current developmental direction is still to grow sneakily and deal with certain emergencies,

First, take Princess Ariel and her party as an entry point, while digging into the corner of the haughty Princess Coldflame and learning more about the Coldflame Royal Family’s intelligence.

I believe this can be done quickly with Linda’s investigation and the surveillance of Serena and Stella.”

The last thing to do is naturally to continue investigating the mysterious organization’s every move. As soon as Jasper Richardson returns, immediately start exploring the Immortal Gate in Golin City.”

Making up his mind, Leo Ray, who had arrived at the entrance of the mansion, commanded the two Earth Guardians next to him to open the heavy doors and walked straight in.

A moment later, he sat back down on the metal throne in the hall.

Leo Ray first opened the Trading Center and withdrew all 750,000 units of stone he had exchanged for 500 Iron Swords to his storage space.

Then he hung up 500 Tier 1 iron spears, again exchanging them for stone at the same price.

Undoubtedly, these Tier 1 weapons, which are seen as treasures by other Lords, For Leo Ray, had naturally long been amassed as old goods.

“Right, the amount of copper ingots and iron ingots needed for the next mansion upgrade is too large. It seems like I need to find a solution quickly…”Just as Leo Ray thought of this.

Accompanied by a “ding” sound, his private message alert suddenly sounded.

With a mix of confusion and curiosity, Leo Ray opened the message interface and discovered that the sender was Solomon Rue, who was located in the mountainous region of Golin City.

Since parting ways at the abandoned mine in Golin City, siblings Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore had maintained contact with Leo Ray.

Not to mention, they would always send him congratulatory private messages after every global announcement.

The main reason for this was that although Leo Ray had asked Taylor to temporarily seal off the abandoned mine before leaving, in order to delay the mysterious organization’s discovery of the Immortal Gate hidden deep within it.

In order to be extra cautious, Solomon and Sylvia still sent their forces to inspect the mine every day and report back to Leo Ray regularly.

This diligence had earned Leo Ray’s satisfaction.

Most importantly, Solomon’s treasure-hunting talent was very intriguing to

Leo Ray.

“Could it be that they discovered another treasure?

With that thought, Leo Ray immediately opened the message content.

“Master Leo, my sister and I just discovered another secluded cave in the mountains, and there’s definitely something good inside!

But, we’ve run into some trouble again…”

“As expected?” Reading the message, Leo Ray chuckled helplessly.

“…Master Leo, my sister and I led a group of subordinates to the cave, and we happened to encounter another group of Lords seeking to explore the cave.

Fortunately, they are all part of the peaceful faction, otherwise, I fear my sister and I would have been in great danger…”

Upon reading this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but fall into a contemplative silence.

At this stage, as most of the Lords scattered throughout this parallel world had begun exploring the areas around their respective territories, it was inevitable for them to encounter other Lords who had arrived in this world.

As a result, they were roughly divided into two factions based on their actions and responses.

The first faction was what Solomon had just mentioned, the peaceful faction, which advocated for cooperation and mutual assistance and focused on confronting the local indigenous forces.

Lords of this type generally supported each other through alliances and would not easily attack other unknown Lords.

The other faction was, of course, the violent faction that plundered resources from other Lords through force and slaughtered others indiscriminately.

“Of course, for me, there is no difference between these two types of Lords. If they stand in my way, their only fate is destruction.”

He smiled slightly and continued reading the message.

‘…But since those people are not members of Master Leo’s Fan Club, we don’t trust them.

After all, there have been some unscrupulous peaceful faction Lords in the Chat Channel who pretended to form alliances, let their victims do the hard work.

And then they used force to completely take over their wealth and resources.

So, after discussing with the others, we all unanimously decided to have a one-on-one duel to determine the ownership of the cave.

However, once both sides agreed to this plan, those guys suddenly burst into laughter…”

Upon reading this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but look even more curious..
