Chapter 765 The completion of the ninth-level city lords mansion
Listening to the continuous sound of automatic construction within the huge colorful light curtain, Lei Xiao nodded slightly thoughtfully.
Whether judging from the resources consumed or the coverage of the light curtain, the scale of this mansion upgrade is obviously larger than before, and the upgrade time will probably be longer.
"Everyone should proceed step by step. It seems that it will take some time before we can see the full picture of the new lord's mansion."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded to the subordinates beside him.
"As you command! Lord!"
All the subordinates bowed together and said in unison excitedly.
Looking at the backs of his subordinates leaving one after another, another look of expectation appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
This time the mansion upgrade has taken the longest time, and it is also the territory’s first transformation after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire. I think it will definitely take on a completely new look, right?
"By the way, I wonder what kind of rewards you will get after upgrading the mansion this time?"
While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao slowly moved his gaze away from the light screen and landed on another excited petite figure not far away.
I saw that figure with an exquisite figure, and the gray-white long pointed ears exposed through the thick hair were particularly eye-catching.
This person is none other than Jinwen, the illusion master who has just been conquered, or the dark elf Erza.
Although her skin is extremely fair, the unique beauty and elegance of the elves are still vividly reflected in her body.
"Everyone else has gone to do their morning exercises and wash up. Is this girl the only one left?"
Looking at Erza's delicate side face full of excitement, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and said in his heart: "Erza, who is extremely interested in archeology and ancient ruins, this is the first time she has seen such a miraculous building.
The Lord’s Mansion has been upgraded, right? No wonder I’m so excited.”
"By the way, I promise that this girl will explore the Winged Human Tribe's enchantment area and the land of gods, and we will do it after everything stabilizes. I can't live up to this girl's great help to me."
"Speaking of which, if Xiaoya, who is still away from home, were to see her respected illusion master in this state, she would probably be petrified on the spot. She would be extremely surprised, right?"
Lei Xiao couldn't help but laugh as he thought this while already approaching Erza.
"Good morning, Lord!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Erza quickly withdrew her gaze, blinked her starry eyes and couldn't help but said with joy: "Being able to become the lord's subordinate is really the most honorable thing in my life!"
"Erza, you will see more magical things in the future."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said what he had just thought: "Currently, the territory is still in danger. I promised you to postpone the exploration of the ruins for a few days. As a master of illusion, I will always be by my side.
You can also feel more at ease.”
"Lord, these subordinates naturally understand!"
Hearing that Lei Xiao valued and cared about her so much, Erza was moved and said sincerely: "Only when the territory is stable will my subordinates be willing to explore the ruins. After all, this is my only place to go!"
"That's good. Later, I'll let Lian, who is the servant of the gods, and other people who have been to the land of gods, tell you about things there first."
Lei Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "I hope you can integrate into the team of strong people as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Lord. Sister Chaoyan and the others are very good to their subordinates. During the banquet, they even prepared a lot of dishes for them!"
Erza nodded her head happily and responded quickly.
"This girl, Chaoyan, relies on her status as a senior who knows her territory. She is only in her 20s and actually asked Erza, who is over 200 years old, to call her sister. I heard it during the banquet yesterday. Let's see how I deal with her later.
."
Thinking of this with amusement in his mind, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and said: "By the way, Erza, show me your staff and robe."
Then, Lei Xiao successfully upgraded Erza's fourth-level staff and fourth-level robe to the fifth level, which was enough to conquer the country. This undoubtedly greatly improved Erza's strength.
Amid Erza's ecstatic thanks, Lei Xiao looked at the still dazzling giant construction light curtain, and did not stay any longer. Instead, he went to the cafeteria to have breakfast with Erza and other subordinates.
After eating a sumptuous breakfast with his subordinates, Lei Xiao noticed.
Within the colorful light curtain covering the lord's mansion, the sound of construction was still in full swing, which obviously showed that the construction was still going on for some time.
Therefore, Lei Xiao simply temporarily used the large canteen where he was eating as a conference hall, and gathered all the main force and subordinates, as well as the commander's subordinates.
At the same time, he also contacted the leaders and subordinates in various places, as well as the members of the Shadow Squadron who were responsible for conveying the news, through text messages.
"The main tasks in each city today are still to stabilize the situation, recruit troops, and distribute supplies and pensions."
After a brief greeting, Lei Xiao officially started the meeting.
"In addition, each city must also compile the estimated number of recruits, the list of middle and low-level commanders, and identity background checks to facilitate my subsequent distribution of equipment and other combat supplies..."
In meetings with leaders from various places, Lei Xiao also determined five things.
The first is to gradually allow the surrendered troops to return home as planned.
The second is to disperse the knights who were enshrined in Kongqing Town yesterday to various places to lead planting and construction as soon as possible to further stabilize the overall environment.
The third step is to mass-produce his own and Ariel's flags and hang them in various cities.
The fourth is to continue to use the bards to publicize Ariel's achievements and improve the reputation of the Cold Flame Princess.
Fifth, is the matter of building a communication network.
After everything was implemented, Lei Xiao offlined the leaders, subordinates and shadow squadron members from various places and began to deploy the territory.
"Everyone, as I said yesterday, the territory is still surrounded by powerful enemies."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright, and he looked at the subordinates sitting on both sides of the long dining table one by one, and said solemnly: "Although we only had a short rest for a few days, a new life and death challenge has arrived, and we are no longer allowed to relax any longer.
Already."
"So starting from today, the territory is completely back on track, and everything will be implemented in accordance with the highest alert standards during the war."
Having said this, Lei Xiao looked at Aaron Bard and the two men who were still bandaged, and continued: "Of course, the wounded soldiers still need to rest well. I will summon new forces as soon as possible to replace the soldiers of the two squadrons of great swordsmen.
together."
"As you command! Lord!"
All the commanders touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
"Of course, everyone must have seen that there is another important matter today, which is to welcome the new forces in the territory. Just follow my instructions in a moment."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and turned to where the main subordinates were: "As for my schedule today, the first thing I need to do is to go to the hidden ice cave in the Songyin Mountains to rescue a legendary alchemist."
"Lord, are you talking about my ancestor, the ice demon Garth?!"
Xue Ya's starry eyes lit up, her fair face was full of excitement, and she blurted out.
Xue Ya clearly understands that as long as this ancestor can see the light of day again, the overall strength of his family will undoubtedly rise to a whole new level! He will also be able to serve his lord better!
"Yes, I have found everything I need."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded with a smile: "Due to the special geographical location of Fenglong City in this battle, although no troops were directly sent to participate in the battle, the elite squadron secretly sent out made great contributions in the battle for Wangxing City, as well as Faxia
The same goes for Shuiyue City, the family’s fiefdom.”
"So, think of it as a special reward for your family. Of course, it is also for the development of the territory."
"In addition to you, I will also call your father Tran to meet the ancestor of the Bingliu family."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on another pretty alchemist on the side, and continued: "Faxia, I will also reward your family's Shuiyue City well. If you need anything, please tell me.
"
"The Lord's concern is already the best reward for his subordinates!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Faxia's face was full of excitement, and he quickly waved his hands and said: "As for other rewards, just wait until Shuiyue City makes meritorious service for the lord again."
"Sealing Dragon City and Shuiyue City have special geographical locations. They are located outside Wangxing City. There will definitely be an opportunity to show off their skills next time."
Lei Xiao nodded, and then said: "Faxia, you should also participate in this matter of saving the ancestors of the Bingliu family this time. You will learn more from this alchemy master in the future."
"As you command! Lord!"
Faxia stroked his chest, saluted, and respectfully accepted his orders.
"The last thing is about the logistics of the territory."
Lei Xiao's eyes focused on Ward, the old butler in a neat tuxedo, and nodded: "After the territory's personnel are further expanded, including food and other aspects of supply matters, the intensity will definitely be further increased. If there is only one peasant squadron
If it’s not enough, I will allocate new logistics forces as soon as possible.”
"My lord, the current members of the peasant squadron have all mastered the skills of chefs and are fully capable of doubling the food supply."
The old butler saluted respectfully and responded: "After all, including subordinates, the Territory Logistics Department has 10 third-level powerhouses, 80 second-level elite forces, and 5 mercenaries who are temporarily under the management of my subordinates!"
"Then I can rest assured. In this personnel call, I will summon some new subordinates to make up for you to the size of a full squadron. I will also continue to expand the physical warehouse."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said to the old housekeeper: "The logistics of the territory are extremely important, so I will leave everything to you."
"Please rest assured, Lord, my subordinates will do their best until they die."
Ward solemnly touched his chest and saluted again, and said firmly.
"Okay, let's end today's meeting."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat at the top of the dining table and waved to his subordinates.
Lei Xiao, who returned to the front door of the mansion surrounded by the main force and subordinates, noticed.
Compared with the busy construction just now, the construction sound inside the colorful light curtain has obviously slowed down a lot.
This undoubtedly means that the upgrade of the lord's mansion has reached the final stage.
It didn't take long, until the sound of construction stopped completely, and the colorful light curtain began to get darker and darker. At the same time, a pleasant reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, your lord's mansion has been upgraded to Level 9! 】
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao looked up excitedly.
I saw that the colorful light curtain covering the surroundings of the mansion had begun to gradually dissipate, and the majestic castle with a brand new look appeared among the ripples of energy particles.
"Good guy, it's really a tremendous change."
Looking up at the giant gray stone building in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded excitedly.
In terms of scale, the area and volume of the upgraded lord's mansion have increased by more than half.
The shape has also been expanded from the original rectangular parallelepiped to a more sturdy and durable cube. It is now completely the same as a castle, and can even be compared with the city lord's palace in Kongqing Town.
Not only does it look extremely thick, but the number of arrow towers on the left and right sides has also increased to four, extending evenly on the four corners of the mansion.
In addition, it can be clearly seen from the distribution of windows.
Not only have there been more rooms on each floor, but the floors have also changed from the previous three floors to four floors!
"This is exactly like the castle in my dreams. I wonder what changes have taken place inside?"
Amidst the exclamations of the surrounding subordinates, Lei Xiao, who was full of expectations, walked straight to the door of the lord's mansion.
When he got close to the gate, Lei Xiao noticed.
In addition to the original thick metal door, a metal gate has been added to the outside of the door, which is currently open.
On the surface of the smooth metal door, the magic flow became more intense, and the defensive spells automatically blessed by the mansion were obviously enhanced by a level.
“It’s perfect, I can sleep more peacefully at night.”
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and opened the heavy metal door in front of him without changing his expression.
For Lei Xiao, who is a fourth-level expert, it is naturally easy to open this heavy metal door.
Entering the brand new lord's mansion, Lei Xiao's eyes suddenly opened up.
The extremely spacious castle hall is brightly lit and exudes a simple and solemn atmosphere everywhere.
The majestic gray-black metal throne at the end of the hall complements the exquisite reliefs on the surrounding walls, showing its grandeur and awe.
"You know, this is a building that belongs entirely to me. I am already looking forward to changes in other places."
Lei Xiao walked slowly in the hall and looked around excitedly.
After walking around the hall of the mansion, Lei Xiao first came to the left side of the hall.
This is still a luxuriously decorated banquet hall, the area has at least doubled, and can accommodate hundreds of people dining at the same time.
The exquisite gold-inlaid landscape wall sculptures complement each other with the fine-grained pure white floor tiles. Under the illumination of the metal chandelier in the center, everything looks magnificent.
The kitchen at the end of the banquet hall is also significantly larger and has complete kitchen facilities such as stoves and ovens.
"This must be at least a thousand square meters, right? Before I traveled through time, I would never have dared to dream of owning such a luxurious personal banquet hall."
Looking at the extremely luxurious scene around him, Lei Xiao sighed in his heart.
"I wonder what changes will happen to other parts of the mansion?"
