In the early morning, when the first ray of dawn in the sky and the twin moons still in the sky appeared in the hazy sky at the same time.
As soon as Lei Xiao opened his eyes, he heard the soft chirping of a bird that he hadn't heard for a long time.
"Have the warblers appeared again? Their whereabouts are really erratic."
Pouting his lips slightly, Lei Xiao sat up from the bed and murmured to himself: "However, these little things have the ability to disturb the atmosphere, so just let them be.
I will turn back to my subordinates who are skilled in the field to study whether they can be bred on a large scale and further utilize this characteristic."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, felt his mind move, and a round rose energy-gathering pill appeared on his palm.
Feeling the elegant fragrance emanating from it, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, swallowed it directly, and began his daily morning practice.
After a while, Lei Xiao, who exhaled a breath of turbid air and closed his eyes in concentration, quickly became familiar with the process and completely refined the third-level magic potion.
At the same time, a ray of light cyan light stayed in his dark eyes for a moment, and then slowly dissipated.
This undoubtedly means that the whirlpool of magical energy in Lei Xiao's body has once again been filled to a new level.
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao felt energetic, rolled out of bed, and casually opened his attribute bar.
[Equipment: Rolandel "Weapon? Level 5", Staff of Nature "Weapon? Level 5", Pretender's Protection "Armor? Level 5", Blessed Golden Eyes "Accessories? Level 3", Eye of Dawn "
[Accessory? Level 4], Eyes of Thunderstorm [Accessory? Level 5], Blessing of the Southern Cross [Accessory? Level 5], Moon Reflected in the Mirror [Accessory? Level 6]]
"Not bad, not bad. With two more stars, I will be able to reach the level of a double third-level peak expert." Lei Xiao nodded excitedly, walked to the bathroom, and immediately started to wash up.
In a moment, he, neatly dressed, walked out of the lord's suite with vigorous steps.
As for the hygiene in the room and the changed clothes, there will naturally be several third-level maids coming to clean them later, so Lei Xiao doesn't need to worry.
Passing through the long castle corridor and going straight to the lord's office next to it, Lei Xiao directly received 5 second-level recruitment orders.
"Currently, there are still three squadrons in the territory. As long as there are three quantitative changes, the goal will be achieved."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao started to upgrade directly.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar prompt sounded in his ears.
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to "Third Level Recruitment Order"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to 107 "Second Level Recruitment Orders"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to "Fourth Level Recruitment Order"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to 105 "Second Level Recruitment Orders"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to 108 "Second Level Recruitment Orders"! 】
Hearing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he said ecstatically in his heart: "Not only did I successfully obtain the second-level recruitment order for recruiting three squadrons, but I also obtained a fourth-level recruitment order!
Now, in addition to Fanyin City Lord Al, Kelly's president father Gale can also take the opportunity to conquer!"
Rubbing his hands together excitedly, Lei Xiao came to the wooden storage box.
He also traded the reverse resources of Su Ru, Su Mo and other five lords, as well as Shen Banxia, and ordered them to make exquisite logging axes in order to obtain iron ingots.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao also set up his manufacturing sequence, also starting with the logging axe.
As a result, the seven lords, including Lei Xiao, consumed a total of 16,800 units of iron ore and 16,800 units of wood.
Next, Lei Xiao, who was in a good mood, strode out of the lord's office, followed the spiral staircase of the castle, and arrived at the first floor of the mansion.
"Good morning, Lord!"
On the other side, the old butler Ward, who had a white mouth cloth on his arm, and four third-level maids with exquisite make-up had naturally been waiting here for a long time, and they all bowed to Lei Xiao.
"Thank you for the hard work on yesterday's banquet arrangement."
Looking at the old butler's neat tuxedo without a trace of wrinkles and his long, shiny gray hair, Lei Xiao smiled lightly as he took the black tea from one of the maids.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. This is a matter that belongs to the subordinates and is not worth mentioning."
I saw the old butler Ward still maintaining a respectful posture, and then he began to speak again: "I would like to inform you, Lord Qi, because most of the delicacies at last night's banquet were meat-based.
In order to make the Lord's nutritional intake more balanced, therefore, after discussing with the head chef Rudy, this morning's meal was slightly lighter.
They are crab roe custard, rainbow vegetable lean meat porridge, paired with buckwheat toast..."
After listening to the old butler's extremely professional report of the dish names, Lei Xiao put down the black tea and white porcelain cup in his hand, then nodded slightly and said: "Very good.
Tell Rudy to prepare another breakfast for 300 people. Let’s welcome the new colleagues first and then start the meal.”
"Yes! Lord." After hearing this, the old butler accepted the order and immediately began to take action.
In this way, he walked straight out of the Lord's Mansion. Lei Xiao, who raised his head slightly, noticed.
At this moment, the two suns, one big and one small, were already hanging in the sky.
However, the still slightly red morning glow in the sky and the crystal dewdrops stained on the grass undoubtedly indicate that the morning has just begun.
After taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air mixed with the fragrance of plants, Lei Xiao felt a hundred times more energetic and began to walk in the territory.
Next, listening to the uniform chants of morning drills and the crisp sound of armor clashing from the surrounding soldiers, Lei Xiao discovered.
The location of yesterday's banquet venue has been cleaned up, and the outdoor dining tables and chairs have been moved back into the canteen that was transformed from the half-elf dome-shaped longhouse.
"Currently, the number of elite squadrons in the territory has increased a lot. It seems that the number of canteens must also be increased accordingly."
Gu tut
Looking at the five large stone longhouses standing neatly not far away, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Then, facing the rising sun, Lei Xiao took steps and came to the guardian defense mechanism in the north of the territory.
In a large octagonal building covered with cold light patterns, the cooldown time for creating a guardian has expired.
Therefore, with a flash of blue light, a new angel-like guardian of the sky appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
After waving his hand and putting the Sky Guardian into the space bracelet, Lei Xiao took away the magic energy light crystals filled with magic power from other bases, and then walked out of the Guardian defense mechanism.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who had just walked out of the dim environment, squinted his eyes slightly to adapt to the brighter sunshine outside, and noticed again.
The eighteen third-level peak-level ice knights standing not far away have basically repaired themselves, just like eighteen crystal clear ice sculptures, shining brightly under the two suns.
"Okay, it's time to welcome new people. I wonder what kind of elite soldiers will be recruited this time to further strengthen the territory?"
While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao immediately read a message and gave the order to all the subordinates in the territory to assemble for the new year.
In a moment, the thirteen squadrons in the territory, as well as the main force and subordinates, lined up.
Lei Xiao, who was standing at the front of the team, directly used 300 second-level recruitment orders.
The next second, brilliant golden light gates emerged in front of everyone.
After a moment, when the dazzling light gradually dissipated, 300 tall figures exuding impressive momentum came into Lei Xiao's eyes.
Upon closer inspection, we can see that these soldiers are tall and tall, all wearing silver-white medium-sized plate armor and fully enclosed helmets, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Judging from the posture, it is similar to the two squadrons of great swordsmen stationed in Kongqing Town.
However, in the hands of these soldiers, they all held a metal spear of about 2.5 meters. The sharp spear tip was uniform and cold, making people feel awe-inspiring.
"Is it a soldier with a gun? But judging from the weapons in his hands.
Obviously, they are not the kind of pikemen on the battlefield who hold 5 or 6-meter spears and need protection from other close combat soldiers, but are more adept at close combat."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "I remember that in the previous confrontation with the orc troops, one of the opponent's main soldiers was this kind of melee spearman.
Compared with pikemen who rely entirely on formations, this kind of melee pikemen can exert extremely good combat effectiveness whether they are fighting in formation or in melee on the battlefield.
For a territory located in the forest, it can obviously play a big role!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao immediately opened the summary interface of the new slaves and began to check it quickly.
"The profession is a gunner. As for the overall strength, it is similar to the seven squadrons yesterday.
Most of them are around the second-order five-star, a few are around the second-order seven-star, and the three strongest ones are at the peak level of the second-order nine-star.
Needless to say, this is naturally the commander of the three squadrons."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao immediately opened the detailed interfaces of some new subordinates and murmured to himself: "In terms of skills.
These spear warriors all master some active skills such as "Armor-piercing Pierce", "Dragon Tail Sweep", "Double Stab", "Counter-current Spur" and so on.
The passive skills include "Lance Mastery", "Concentrated Formation", "Concentrated Charge", etc."
On the other side, the three gun warrior commanders who had just reacted quickly took off their helmets, showing their shocked faces, and quickly ran to Lei Xiao.
Then they all knelt down on one knee and respectfully said in unison: "I see you, your lord, the brave and fearless spear warriors will never retreat. We are willing to pierce the enemy's throat and pierce the enemy's heart for your lord!"
At the same time, not far away, the crisp sound of armor clashing sounded neatly.
The other gun warriors also knelt on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.
"Welcome to your arrival. From now on, each of you will be an indispensable part of this territory."
He lowered himself down and helped up the three commanders who were kneeling in front of him. Lei Xiao nodded and said with a faint smile.
Then, through simple understanding, Lei Xiao learned.
Among the three gunner squadron leaders, the most prestigious one is called Aylin, who is in his early 40s and in his prime.
The multiple scars that vaguely appeared under his beard undoubtedly proved that he had participated in many thrilling battles.
"Captain Aelin, if that's the case, then you will be in charge of these three squadrons of gunners."
Nodding to the middle-aged and elderly archer commander in front of him, Lei Xiao immediately spoke.
"Yes! Lord!" Hearing this, Aylin knelt down on the ground again and said with his right hand on his chest.
Next, in front of three miraculous buildings and all the powerful men on our side.
Lei Xiao waved his hand casually while listening to the increasing number of loyalty reminders.
300 third-level spears [Dragon Teeth Pointed Steel Spears] from the orc troops, and 300 sets of third-level plate armor [Rock Plate Armor] immediately emerged and began to be replaced.
As a result, all the members of the three squadrons of gunners couldn't restrain their joy and excitement, and their loyalty levels also surged, successfully rising to 100 points.
After that, Lei Xiao and his subordinates had a meal together. It was a slightly light but extremely hearty breakfast.
According to the usual practice, all the main subordinates and commanders' subordinates were gathered in the spacious and bright hall of the mansion.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the metal throne on the high platform, narrowed his eyes slightly and began to look down.
On his left hand side are the main subordinates Huzhang, Hongye, Yecang, Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, Xueya, Faxia, Baiwei, Aling, Abing and Xiaoya.
On the right are the old butler Ward, the head chef Rudy, the dragoon captain Sean, and the commanders of sixteen elite squadrons.
They are the captain of the heavy guard squadron Rogge, the captain of the half-elf archer Bai Zhi, the captain of the werewolf warrior squadron Orson, the captains of the two heavy shield shooter squadrons Lunuo and Brother Russ, and the captain of the peasant squadron Gang Song.
As well as the two new magician squadron captains Zhuqi and Finley who joined yesterday, five longbow squadron captains including Rick, and the newly recruited gunner squadron captain Aelin.
"I have to say that my territory is really getting stronger and stronger."
His eyes swept over the more than thirty subordinates at the bottom one by one. While feeling the powerful aura emanating from the subordinates, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a little filled with emotion.
Compared with the initial one-person cabin, the territory has undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes.
Next, Lei Xiao regained his composure, and then said: "Okay, the first thing in today's meeting is to announce a few important appointments."
