After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao looked at the two bright moons in the night sky through the window and murmured to himself: "At present.
Inside and outside Leng Yan, there are turbulent winds and clouds on the surface, and strange waves and clouds in the dark. It can be said to be extremely chaotic. From this, it may not be long before this opportunity comes."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's frowned brows immediately relaxed.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and with Lei Xiao's permission, the figures of Xue Ya and Faxia appeared at the door.
"See you, Lord!" As soon as the door was opened, the two of them bowed and saluted, with respectful expressions on their faces.
At this time, judging from the excitement still remaining on their fair faces, it was obvious that they had not fully recovered from the feast they had just enjoyed at the banquet.
"No gifts." Noticing this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "How about it? How about the banquet tonight?"
"Back to my lord, even at the dinner held by the royal family, I have never seen so many delicacies before!"
Faxia was seen stroking her short, fluffy hair.
While excitedly saying: "Especially the vegetable salad based on rainbow lettuce and dragon flame fruit, paired with secret mayonnaise and shredded cheese, it has a fresh and yet rich and sweet taste. It is simply delicious.
The most delicious food I’ve ever had!”
"Yes, Lord Lord, the seafood soup with king crab is also perfect!"
On the other side, Xue Ya's silky waist-length hair swayed, and she bowed slightly to Lei Xiao and said, "It's just that Nan Xing Nan Yue seems to be very resistant to this dish and has always avoided it..."
"Violent King Crab?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but smile.
It's no wonder that at that time, in the fearful illusion of the half-elf barrier, the twin sisters were most afraid of this fourth-level monster.
"By the way, report to the lord after you leave.
The iceberg girl who completely let herself go, ate half of the grilled crab legs of the violent king crab in one go. You know, that half of the grilled crab legs was at least 1 meter long!"
Faxia seemed to have thought of something, first she raised her eyebrows at Xue Ya, then put on a shocked expression and said: "I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Bingliu family can eat so much, most people really can't afford it.
Woolen cloth."
"Lord, don't listen to the nonsense of the impetuous woman. This subordinate only ate a quarter, no, at most it was only a sixth of a crab leg!"
Hearing this, Xue Ya, whose face suddenly turned red, waved her hands in a panic, and then counterattacked: "On the contrary, this eldest lady of the Fuyue family talks about staying in shape and not eating sweets every day.
I just ate a whole plate of chocolate mille crepe with dreamy butter!"
"No, no, Lord, I just took a small sip, just a small sip..." Hearing this, Faxia's hair became frizzy, and he subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth.
Looking at the two aristocratic women in front of him who were exposing each other's secrets, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and did not reply.
On the other side, the two of them quickly realized that they had lost their composure, and quickly regained their composure. With a sudden thought, they handed over today's Qi Condensation Pill to Lei Xiao.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lei Xiao smiled slightly and took a bunch of small brocade boxes. Naturally, he also handed over the 50 Qi Condensing Pill refining materials that he had prepared before to the two of them.
Next, after the two of them bowed and left, Lei Xiao immediately started upgrading.
In the end, there were a total of 15 Qi Condensing Pills, which were upgraded to 730 Qi Condensing Pills and 8 Rose Gathering Pills.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao began to count the quantities of these two expensive potions again.
"Currently, I have 801 Qi Condensing Pills on hand, and there are 17 Rose Energy Condensing Pills?"
After counting up to this point, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to think secretly in his heart: "These days.
I have given corresponding amounts of Qi Condensing Pills to the five squadrons of werewolf warriors stationed in the Snow Wolf Clan, the two squadrons of reserve archers in the Half-Elf Barrier, and the five newly formed squadrons of guards in Kongqing Town.
It is enough to make these ordinary first-level squadrons reach the level of second-level elite squadrons within a few days, so that the combat power of these areas will be strengthened by leaps and bounds."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao fell into thinking again: "In this way, the only areas where I don't have a second-tier elite squadron stationed under my command are Magnet Town and Red Arrow Town.
However, since Red Arrow Town is an area where I have invested a lot of money in trying to organize a pure mercenary force, it is not within the scope of consideration for the time being.
Then, the only area is naturally Magnet Town.
Although Magnet Town currently only has a garrison of 2,000 people, and due to long-term malnutrition in the past, its strength is relatively weak compared to other cities.
But 800 Qi Condensing Pills are enough to give this city two more elite second-tier squadrons to prepare for emergencies."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao, who was leaning in front of the large boss's desk, continued to think: "In addition.
I have already asked the Nate Ned brothers to significantly improve the treatment and food of the garrison, which has made the morale of the soldiers unprecedentedly high.
Moreover, the training and recruitment work are also proceeding in an orderly manner, and all personnel have been equipped with second-level equipment.
From this, it will not take long for the military strength of Magnet Town to gradually recover."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately recited words and ordered the old butler Ward to lead the Nednet brothers here.
In a moment, under the guidance of the old butler Ward, the two of them appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"Greetings to the lord!" Ned and Nate, who had just entered the door and were glowing with food, immediately bowed respectfully to Lei Xiao.
"Everyone, get up." Looking at the two people whose lips were still shiny, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and raised his hand slightly.
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly see it.
Although the cousins had a great time eating, it could be judged from their steady steps and bright eyes.
He didn't drink much, so he obviously kept a clear head.
Noticing this, Lei Xiao nodded approvingly, and then told the two of them what he had just thought.
And, with a wave of his hand, he handed over 800 Qi Condensation Pills surrounded by strange fragrance to the two of them.
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
On the other side, the two brothers Ned and Nate, who looked ecstatic, put a large amount of potions into the storage ring. In their excitement, they lowered their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.
"Okay, the banquet is not over yet, let's continue to enjoy the food." Lei Xiao responded with a smile at the two of them.
Next, after the two bowed gratefully and left, Lei Xiao nodded to the old butler Ward and ordered him to bring Donna over.
grain harvest
"Greetings to the lord!"
In just a moment, the sassy female mercenary captain in leather armor knelt down in front of Lei Xiao without hesitation.
At this time, judging from his awe and exquisite face that still retains shock.
Obviously, she never thought that the territory commanded by the Lord would undoubtedly be much more magnificent and powerful than she had imagined!
At the banquet, the top-notch food and fine wines that she had never seen before were so eye-opening that she could hardly believe her eyes while feasting.
And the one who made her feel all this was naturally the Lord in front of her!
"No need to be polite." After leaning down to help the other party up, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and then asked: "Donna, how is the mercenary recruitment in Red Arrow Town?"
"Back to the lord, before my subordinates set out, there were already eight squadrons of mercenaries stationed in Red Arrow Town. Most of them were composed of small teams of individual mercenaries, with the most prestigious mercenaries serving as squadron leaders.
As for the other part, it is a small mercenary group of three squadrons."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Donna, who was still a little excited, first calmed down, then clasped her fists and said, "In addition.
There are also two small squadron-sized mercenary groups on their way to Red Arrow Town, and they will all arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
By then, Red Arrow Town will be able to reach the size of a brigade set by the lord.
The most important thing is to follow the Lord's instructions.
Whether they are individual mercenaries stationed in towns or small mercenary groups, they all have a good reputation in the mercenary field and will never bully local civilians. Lord, please rest assured!"
"Very well done." Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "How is the overall situation in Red Arrow Town currently?"
"Back to the lord, after you completely destroyed the Demon Pearl Monster Farm, your subordinates and mercenaries, together with the local residents, have cleared most of the ruins along the river.
Presumably normal fishing activities will resume soon.
In addition, the inner wall next to the clock tower in the city has been completely demolished, restoring the entire town to its original appearance."
At this point, Donna still maintained her saluting posture and said sadly: "But.
There are still some residents who have moved out of the city one after another, making the already empty town feel quite lonely again."
"It doesn't matter. As long as we can rebuild this town and make the residents prosperous while ensuring the safety of the city, the population will naturally flourish again."
After speaking, Lei Xiao casually waved his hand and spread another twenty boxes of golden dragons in front of Donna, and then said: "These 200,000 golden dragons can be regarded as supplementary funds for the recent period.
We must restore vitality to the entire city in the shortest possible time.”
"I obey, Lord!" On the other side, Donna's eyebrows condensed slightly and she said decisively: "My subordinates have selected capable personnel from the mercenaries stationed in the city to rebuild the city in all aspects.
And together with the residents and elders of the city, we formed a new city lord's mansion to be responsible for coordinating everything."
"Very good, Donna, I really saw you right." Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "Next, let's expand the number of mercenaries stationed to 2,000."
Having said this, Lei Xiao's mind moved again, and he handed 8 more rose energy-gathering pills into Donna's hands, and continued: "These potions are enough to elevate your strength to the peak level of the third level.
Just go ahead and do it. If you encounter any problems, please contact me in time.
Remember, you are not walking alone, there is a strong territory behind you."
"I obey! I am willing to die for your lord!"
On the other side, Donna's sassy and delicate face was already so excited that she couldn't control herself. She had no choice but to kneel down on the ground again and swear her loyalty to Lei Xiao.
That's it, until Donna resigned excitedly.
Lei Xiao stretched out, and according to his previous plan, he first informed the old butler Ward by reading a message, and the four third-level maids and Xiaoya moved back into the lord's mansion. Then, they came to the cool night breeze again. outdoor.
Next, facing the silver-white moonlight under the dark blue night, not long after, Lei Xiao, who returned to the banquet venue, noticed.
At this time, the entire venue was still very lively.
Moreover, all the subordinates who were standing guard before have been replaced, and they are all immersed in the pile of delicious food in front of them, unable to extricate themselves.
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao sat down in his seat again, holding a cup of steaming hot milk, and casually chatted with the main force and subordinates.
It wasn't until midnight fell, and the twin moons in the night sky became brighter, that Lei Xiao, surrounded by the main force and subordinates, walked towards the lord's mansion again.
As for the other leaders and subordinates, since their respective stations were not far from the territory, Lei Xiao did not try to persuade them to stay. They all distributed an invisibility cloak and returned home happily.
Immediately, Lei Xiao, who returned to the lord's mansion, walked all the way up and soon arrived at the spacious lord's suite.
"I have to say, today is really a thrilling day."
After a while, Lei Xiao, who had finished washing, was lying on the bed in a large shape. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and murmured to himself: "After the battle at the ruins of the Dwarf Hearth Castle in the Immortal Gate.
Presumably, the mysterious organization, which has lost its troops and generals and is confused, will definitely transfer most of its attention to the Leng Yan royal family.
And I can just take advantage of this opportunity, seize the time, and capture the entire eastern region of Lengyan as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took off the light crystal stone on the bedside table, making the room dark, and continued to think: "However, the strength of the Lengyan Eastern Region should not be underestimated.
According to Lin's statistics, in addition to the cities under his own command.
Taken together, the other large and small cities have a garrison force of close to 200,000, not counting the garrisons in border areas and the reserve forces in various places that can be mobilized at any time.
You know, this is equivalent to the combat power of 20 fifth-level strong men.
It's easy to defeat them individually, but once several big cities join forces, the situation will undoubtedly be very serious.
Of course, as the saying goes, a war never tires of deceit, and naturally there are a lot of places for layout.
A lot of interesting things will definitely happen by then..."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the sound of even breathing sounded in the room.
