Chapter 1231: Chapter 739: Lordâs Thoughts_2 Chapter 1231: Chapter 739: Lordâs Thoughts_2 Upon seeing the lord himself come to visit, the faces of the wounded soldiers couldnât help but show a surge of excitement and all cast their passionate gazes at him.
Having not walked far, Leo Ray was greeted by Daisy Zuman, who was in charge of attending to the injured soldiers. She bowed and greeted, âGreetings to my Lord!â
âDaisy, how is the situation here?â
Leo Ray nodded slightly and asked immediately.
âMy Lord, the injured soldiers in the hall have minor injuries, and those with severe injuries are all arranged in the treatment rooms where the healing power is stronger,â Daisy replied while wiping away the sweat on her forehead and bowing. âBut rest assured, my Lord, even for the severely injured soldiers, their lives are no longer in danger after receiving the expensive healing magic potions you provided and the first treatment from Cyan Townâs professional healing force.â
At the mention of this, Daisyâs starry eyes couldnât help but reveal a touch of uncontainable admiration.
If she hadnât witnessed it herself, Daisy would never have believed that the lord would distribute such a huge amount of healing magic potions to every soldier, which was like a dream! It was due to the help of these miracle potions that many soldiers were pulled back from the brink of death and had quickly recovered in the miracle building. With such a lord, how could they not serve him wholeheartedly?
While feeling a flood of emotions in her heart, Daisy added, âFurthermore, with your lordâs support of tier 3 equipment, even the severely injured soldiers mostly have penetrating wounds as their main injuries. As long as they recover, they can basically return to the battlefield.â
âThatâs no problem. Currently, our territory is expanding at a rapid pace, and there are more and more important positions. Even if they cannot go to the battlefield, I would trust them to help me manage a city,â Leo Ray said with a wave of his hand and a smile. âSince you have chosen to sign a contract with me and pledge to die in battle for me, I will naturally be responsible for each and every one of you.â
âMy Lord⊠your subordinate is willing to die a thousand deaths for you!â
Upon hearing Leoâs words, Daisy fell to one knee, her freckled face full of excitement.
âWhy do I feel like âhe really⊠Iâm going to die cryingâ?â
Leo Ray couldnât help but smile and bent down to help Daisy up. He then asked, âBy the way, where are Aaron and Bard?â
âMy Lord, Captain Aaron and Captain Bard are both seriously injured and are currently undergoing treatment in the treatment rooms,â Daisy replied respectfully, bowing her head. âPlease follow me, my Lord.â
Following Daisyâs footsteps, Leo entered the first treatment room on the left side of the hall. He noticed that the injured soldiers in the room were indeed in worse condition than those outside. Most of them were covered in bandages from head to toe.
Although they had all stopped bleeding, their faces were pale and unconscious without exception.
On the front two beds lay Aaron and Bard, the commanders of the two great swordsman squads.
Aaronâs face was tightly wrapped in gauze, only revealing a pair of closed eyes.
Bard, on the other hand, had his chest wound wrapped in gauze, with the blood stain showing through the white gauze slowly rising and falling with his breath.
âMy Lord, during the Cyan Town Battle, Captain Aaron was injured in the face by a skeleton warriorâs sword after giving his helmet to a soldier who had lost his. Captain Bard was pierced through the chest armor by a recently transformed undead soldier while protecting a member of the mage squad.â
Gazing at the unconscious injured soldiers, Daisyâs voice softened considerably, and she whispered to Leo Ray, âIt was because of the great swordsmenâs desperate protection that my sister Daisy Sashaâs mage squad survived in such a harsh environment.â
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Daisy continued, âFortunately, Captain Bard wasnât hit in any vital areas, which can be considered a stroke of luck in misfortune.ââThey are truly the bravest soldiers under my command.â
Leo Rayâs gaze became solemn, and he said, âIn this battle of Cyan Town, these two Great Swordsman Squads and Daisy Sashaâs Mage Squad have endured far more fear and despair than any other soldiers in the territory, but they still fought until the very last moment. When the time comes for rewards and recognition, they will surely be the top achievers.â
âYou are wise, my Lord!â
Daisy Zuman nodded respectfully and asked, âMy Lord, do you want me to wake them up?â
âNo need, let them have a good rest.â
Leo Ray waved his hand and walked quietly out of the tranquil treatment room.
Returning to the main hall, Leo Ray gave Daisy Zuman some instructions before leaving the Light Healing House under her respectful gaze.
Then, Leo Ray walked alone under the moonlight and returned to the long-lost Lordâs Mansion.
The first thing to do after returning to the Lordâs Mansion was to collect todayâs unclaimed Recruitment Orders.
In the Lordâs Office on the third floor of the mansion, Leo Ray collected five brand new Tier 2 Recruitment Orders and a Returning Crystal into his bag and then, as per his usual routine, began to reverse engineer resources.
Since Quinn Serena and the others were not in the territory, Leo Ray collected the Exquisite Sickles from himself, Solomon Rue, and the other five mining lords, as well as Penelope Welbourn, to perform upgrades and dismantling.
After obtaining a certain amount of Copper Ingots, Leo Ray instructed the other six lords to continue producing Copper Ingots at full capacity and traded the corresponding resources with them.
After arranging his own production queue, Leo Ray let out a sigh and sat down on the comfortable boss chair.
âI never thought that just one day away would make me feel like itâs a whole new world.â
Looking at the spacious and familiar Lordâs Office, Leo Ray couldnât help but feel a little emotional.
Last night, everything was uncertain. He was besieged by both traditional nobles and new aristocratic forces, making both his territory and Cyan Town shaky and on the verge of collapse.
However, after a day and night of bloody battle, he was now only one step away from controlling the entire Coldflame Eastern Region.
âI wonder how the Great Prince and the Second Prince will react when they learn of their defeat? Iâm really looking forward to their furious expressions.â
âAfter all, before this, I was nothing more than an insignificant ant in their eyes. And now, the ant has killed the elephant, they must be furious.â
Leo Ray smiled gently, but then couldnât help but frown.
After gaining control of the entire region, the problem that lay before him, besides guarding against the princesâ Galaxy City, was the important matter of the borderland Mountain Fortress.
âBefore this, although I had defeated the Saint Night Army once, the fighting capacity of this area has undoubtedly been greatly reduced after this battle, so I cannot rule out the possibility of them trying to take advantage of the situation.â
âMoreover, the Mountain Fortress also includes more than 13,000 traditional nobles and new aristocratic garrisons who have been conscripted from other areas, which is another troublesome matter. Considering these two points, I must make early precautions.â
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Leo Rayâs fingers tapped the table gently, his thoughts deep and focused.
âIâll discuss it with Burt and Joshua tomorrow. If we can convert this force to my side, that would be great. Otherwise, relying solely on Lord Whiteâs fortress legion will prove difficult.â
âAs for the Saint Night Kingdom, I need to find a way to keep them in check. Even if they donât act now, it doesnât mean itâs a good thing.â
âItâs easy to imagine that if in the near future, during my battle with the princes, they suddenly attack my rear, it would be even more troublesome.â
Just as Leo Ray was pondering on this, a sudden urgent Mind Talk message entered his ears.
