“Here are 200 sets of Tier 3 light armor and 200 Tier 3 longswords, enough for Milan Town to equip two elite Royal Guard squads.”
Gazing at Xenia Blackwood’s and Bella White’s stunned expressions, Leo Ray looked indifferent and smiled slightly.
It seemed as if what was laid out before them wasn’t a city’s worth of valuable equipment but a pile of cardboard boxes that could be found anywhere.
These light armors, called[Silver Knight Light Armor], were all upgraded from Tier 3 equipment acquired at the Viennas City Auction.
As for the Tier 3 longswords, they were called[Saint Light Knight Swords]and were obtained from the border battlefield.
Suddenly, without waiting for their response,
Leo Ray’s heart moved slightly, and 200 Qi Condensing Pills in brocade boxes appeared in front of everyone again.
“These 200 Qi Condensing Pills can also be used to form the Royal Guard squads. Select some outstanding Tier 1, Nine-Star soldiers from the current Defense Army, and have them undergo collective refining. This will give Milan Town another 200 elite Tier 2 soldiers.”
As he paced around in the treasure vault’s only empty space, Leo Ray continued, “As an agricultural town rich in grain production, Milan Town is very important to our territory. I hope that while focusing on production, you will not neglect the training of the army.”
“Yes, my Lord! Please rest assured!”
On the other side, overjoyed, Xenia Blackwood quickly stepped forward and bowed to Leo Ray.
Without a doubt, a well-trained squad of Tier 2 soldiers is enough to withstand an ordinary squad of Tier 1 soldiers on the battlefield.
When forming dense battle formations and engaging in face-to-face combat, even when facing ten Tier 3 powerhouses or one Tier 4 powerhouse simultaneously, they can hold their ground, demonstrating their strength.
Of course, this is ignoring factors such as occupational restraint, equipment disparity, terrain, and other factors.
“Oh, right, there’s one more thing: Bella, do you know a heavy swordsman named Gregg?”
As he stroked his chin, Leo Ray asked the young female bodyguard.
“My Lord, the man you speak of is my elder brother, who is currently serving in the Royal Capital.”
Bella White stepped forward and replied with a fist, “When I was young, my brother was just an ordinary mercenary. Since it was just the two of us siblings relying on each other, he was very protective of me. He was the one who taught me my swordsmanship.
It wasn’t until I entered the City Lord Mansion and could support myself that my brother left Milan Town to try his luck in the Royal Capital.”
“I see. Well, then, that makes things much easier.”
Hearing that, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly.
He then informed Xenia Blackwood and Bella White of his target to be recruited today – one of Princess Ariel’s attendants – as well as his ultimate goal for the current stage: to win over Princess Ariel herself.
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s description, Xenia Blackwood and Bella White could hardly believe their ears, their mouths hanging open in shock once more.
As expected of our Lord!
Even the Fifth Princess of Coldflame, who stood at the apex of power in the kingdom, had not managed to escape his gaze, and he planned to make her his subordinate… it was simply inconceivable!
It should be noted that Princess Ariel, being the youngest princess of Coldflame, had received the utmost pampering from the old king since childhood, not to mention the countless courtesies she enjoyed from the fawning nobles.
As a consequence, it is not an exaggeration to call her the noblest of all nobles, and the lady of all ladies in the Kingdom of Coldflame.
Crucially, the Coldflame Royal Family had ruled this land for centuries, and each of its members looked down upon all others with disdain and pride.
To make these elite royal members, who have received top-notch education and stand at the peak of power, bow their noble heads is no easy feat?!
Thinking about this, Xenia Blackwood and Bella White couldn’t help but swallow nervously. When they looked at Leo Ray, their eyes now held a hint of unstoppable admiration.
After calming down for a while, Bella White, with her hair in a ponytail, stepped forward and respectfully said, “My Lord, did you just say…my brother is in Cyan Town now?”
Afterward, her fair face showed a touch of desolation as she continued, “But in that case, why hasn’t my brother come to find me, his own sister?”
“You can’t blame him for that.”
Hearing that, Leo Ray gestured slightly for Bella not to worry.
Actually, this situation happened because of Leo Ray’s orders.
The two elite squads accompanying Princess Ariel were restricted to the barracks in the vicinity of the Lord’s Mansion in Cyan Town, not allowed to leave at will.
As a result, Gregg, who served as the deputy squad leader of the guards, was unable to take leave to go to Milan Town, which was only natural.
Immediately afterward, Leo Ray explained the ins and outs of the situation to Bella White.
“So that’s how it is.”
On the other side, Bella White nodded and then confidently smiled. She bowed to Leo Ray and said, “My Lord, please leave the matter of winning over my brother to me. Rest assured.”
“Very well, with this, my current two targets for recruitment, maid Celeste Reiss and Deputy Squad Leader Gregg, are now under my control.”</p
