Chapter 466 Banquet Night (Part 1)
Looking at Finley and Zhuqi who were so surprised that their jaws were dislocated, Chaoyan and Zhusha looked at each other and smiled, but did not answer directly.
They just looked at Lei Xiao who was standing indifferently in reverence. So far, the answer is self-evident.
"No, as expected of the lord!"
Shocked in their hearts, Finley and Zhu Qi were stunned to find out.
Beside the lord, not only are there two mighty fifth-tier powerhouses, but not far away, there are three miraculous buildings that can be called the crystallization of the highest wisdom!
Next to the miraculous buildings, there are 18 ice crystal knights exuding impressive aura. Under the light of the three miraculous buildings, they reflect crystal clear brilliance!
"Such a dreamlike scene, I didn't expect it to exist in reality..."
At this moment, Finley and Zhuqi were beyond shocked.
Even in the Magic Tower, which claims to be all-encompassing, they have never seen such a thrilling scene!
As for the other members of the magician squadron, their hearts were surging and excited, and even their breathing became short of breath.
To be able to see everything around them so close, they never even dreamed of it!
All of a sudden, one after another uncontrollably reverent gazes all shot towards Lei Xiao.
Noticing the constantly refreshing loyalty reminders in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled and waved his hand, 200 of the third-level [Stand of Truth] that was just upgraded not long ago, and 200 sets that were upgraded from the winged human barrier before, The third-tier magic robe named [Sky Robe] appeared in front of everyone.
Under the shocked gazes, Lei Xiao announced that he would bestow the 200 sets of shining Tier 3 equipment on every member of the two magician squadrons.
Needless to say, these elite magicians who have just arrived are pleasantly surprised, and their loyalty is no surprise. They are all fixed in the full position.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao arranged the residences of the two magician squadrons in the fortresses on the north and south walls.
Before this, Lei Xiao had already prepared a large number of necessary furniture such as beds, weapon racks, and wardrobes in various idle fortresses.
Moreover, the various warehouses located in the four corners of the territory also store a large number of daily necessities, which are managed by the peasant squadron. As long as Lei Xiao agrees, they can be registered for use.
In addition, the old housekeeper Ward and others have already set up corresponding sewage treatment magic circles in these fortresses.
Therefore, it is naturally not a problem for these new subordinates to move in with their bags.
After setting everything up, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
Under the dark blue moonlit night, a slightly cool night breeze blew, and in the territory, the aroma of salt and pepper barbecue and rich cheese was already floating around.
I saw Lei Xiao sniffing the intoxicating aroma of food, then waved his hand, and smiled indifferently at his subordinates: "It's time for the banquet to begin, I believe that all kinds of royal-level delicacies cooked with the highest-end ingredients, It will definitely bring you a fantastic night."
"The subordinates are looking forward to it, thank you Lord Lord!"
Whether it was the newly joined seven squadron soldiers or the subordinates in other territories, they all bowed and saluted in unison, excitedly saying in unison.
After that, surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao walked towards the big kitchen and the newly built five canteen areas in the southeast corner of the territory.
Feeling the more intense food aroma in the air, Lei Xiao first came to the door of the large kitchen.
In the window of the large kitchen, the flames were flickering and the heat was rising. From time to time, the third-tier chefs in white chef uniforms and chef hats could be seen busy back and forth.
There are constantly fragrant food, led and dispatched by several third-tier maids, brought out by other soldiers who help the kitchen, which seems to be in order.
As for the venue of the banquet, Lei Xiao did not use the five separate dining halls, but ordered his subordinates to move all the long dining tables, wooden chairs and tableware outside, and arranged a large number of light crystals around them , making the whole venue look brightly lit.
Since there are soldiers close to the two elite squadrons, they are still patrolling the bright and dark sentries scattered throughout the territory, waiting for the rotation of other soldiers.
Therefore, each large canteen can easily accommodate 200 people. The tableware, tables and chairs provided, plus spares, are naturally enough for the remaining subordinates.
"My lord, the first round of food, including those reserved for the soldiers on duty, has been prepared!"
Chef Rudy walked over happily, took off his chef hat, and saluted Lei Xiao.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work this time."
Lei Xiao patted Rudy's generous shoulder lightly, and responded with satisfaction.
"My lord, where are you? If you can personally cook so many rare and expensive top-grade ingredients into delicious food, it's too late for your subordinates to be happy!"
Rudy quickly waved his hands, bowed excitedly to Lei Xiao and said, "Thank you Lord Lord for giving this precious opportunity to cook!"
Wait until Rudy leaves excitedly.
Ward, the old butler in charge of the venue, took another step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "My lord, all the meals have been served."
"The utensils used for the main meals are all specially used by nobles and rich merchants. The magic dinner plates with heat preservation and freshness preservation functions can automatically keep heat and freshness for several hours with just a little magic power injected."
After a pause, Ward added again: "So, my lord, please don't worry that the soldiers on their posts won't be able to eat hot meals."
"Very good. When you go out to buy in the future, you can buy more plates of this kind. Don't worry about the price."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, looked at the long tables filled with all kinds of delicacies, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, let's officially start the banquet."
"Obey, my lord."
Ward continued to bow and responded respectfully.
Under the guidance of the third-order old butler, Lei Xiao first sat at the top of the long dining table at the front of the venue.
The rest of the main subordinates and the subordinates of the leaders from all over the place also took their seats, either sitting at Lei Xiao's lower seat, or scattered at other dining tables around.
Under the leadership of the commanders, the elite soldiers of the other thirteen squadrons also entered the arena in an orderly manner and lined up in front of their respective dining tables.
After everyone had entered the arena, Lei Xiao took a glass of champagne respectfully handed over by the old butler Ward, and slowly took a deep breath.
Accompanied by a surge of energy, a pair of lavender magic wings quickly formed from Lei Xiao's back.
While flapping his wings, Lei Xiao, who was holding a champagne glass, slowly soared into the air, looking down at everyone present.
"Tonight, I'm very glad to be able to gather here with all of you to share this extremely rich and gluttonous feast. Before the banquet officially starts, as your host, I would like to toast you three glasses of wine first."
When Lei Xiao, who was hovering smoothly in mid-air, said this, thousands of subordinates in the audience immediately raised the wine glasses in their right hands and listened excitedly.
Looking at the excited expressions of his subordinates, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and also raised the tulip-shaped goblet in his hand that was rippling with amber liquid, and continued: "The first glass of wine, I will still be loyal and stick to each place. The colleagues who can be present are their hard work, making this territory in the forest safer and more peaceful!"
After speaking, Lei Xiao looked up and drank the champagne in the glass.
Except for the subordinates who are standing guard in the territory, the werewolf resident in the eastern area of the territory, and the half-elf enchantment in the southern area of the territory.
There are still five second-tier elite squadrons not in place, which are naturally the two big swordsman squadrons and magician squadrons stationed in Kongqing Town, and the two shadow squadrons that have been scattered in the eastern area of Lengyan.
"Respect my colleagues, I wish them courage and return in triumph!"
All the subordinates at the first position raised their wine glasses together and said in unison.
Then, all the subordinates also drank up the wine, with awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.
Looking at the uniform scene in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly with emotion.
One must know that these strong men and elite soldiers in front of him are all his subordinates.
With them guarding me at all times, even if there are mountains of swords and flames ahead, I will have the courage to move on and be steadfast.
At the same time Lei Xiao was feeling emotional, Ward, the old butler holding a wine bottle, rose into the air, poured the empty glass in Lei Xiao's hand respectfully, and then landed again.
"This second glass of wine is for everyone in the territory."
Lei Xiao raised the goblet again, sighed and said loudly: "It is because of your existence that this place is called a territory, and it is because of your existence that I am fearless and dare to face the front all thorns!"
After speaking, Lei Xiao tilted the wine glass in his hand, and a warm current poured down his throat.
"The subordinates are willing to die for the lord, willing to expand the territory for the lord, and willing to fight bloody battles for the lord to the last moment!"
All the subordinates drank the second glass of wine without any hesitation, with unwavering eyes.
Not long after, Lei Xiao looked at the goblet filled again in his hand, his eyes moved slowly, and began to sweep over every subordinate, and finally landed on the junction of the forest and the sky in the distance.
Under the starry sky, although it is pitch black, full of unknowns and dangers, why isn't it waiting for the dawn that will pierce the darkness?
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze, and his dark eyes sparkled: "This third glass of wine is a toast to our future! Catastrophe is approaching, and the night will be long. May you and I be the first ray of dawn before dawn, for this piece of land. The land brings light, brings hope!"
Having said that, Lei Xiao raised his head and raised his glass, once again clean up.
"Respect the future! Respect the dawn! Respect our lord!"
The faces of the subordinates were already covered with boiling blood, and they all drank all the good wine in their cups, and exhaled freely.
"The next banquet will officially start, everyone, just let go and enjoy the fun of food."
While the lavender magic wings vibrated, Lei Xiao landed smoothly and returned to his seat.
With Lei Xiao's words, tonight's grand dinner officially kicked off.
All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of singing and laughing, the clashing of tableware, and the pushing and changing of cups, making the entire territory immediately lively.
Lei Xiao noticed that he had just sat down at the top of the long dining table.
Sitting around this dining table, which was so piled up with food that it was almost overflowing, were a group of main subordinates.
I saw Hong Ye, Chao Yan, and Bai Wei forming a row, their starry eyes flickering, and their eyeballs almost popped out.
And Hu Zhang, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Xue Ya and others also had looks of anticipation.
But because Lei Xiao hadn't started to use the knife and fork yet, all the subordinates still maintained their sitting postures.
"Let's start while the food is just out of the pan."
Seeing the eager faces of the foodie trio, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, then grabbed the knife and fork on the table, and began to cut the steak that was still sizzling with hot oil in front of him.
At this point, the other main subordinates made the same movements one after another, and started to follow suit.
Gently smelling the burnt aroma coming towards him, Lei Xiao cut off a large piece of steak in front of him, lifted the fork in his hand lightly, put it into his mouth, and began to chew.
A burst of rich and fragrant gravy burst out of Lei Xiao's mouth.
The steak in the mouth is extremely tender and soft, almost melting directly on the tip of the tongue, but without losing the texture of the steak itself.
And it can be clearly tasted that the rich fat aroma of the meat itself is only assisted by a little salt.
Such a simple seasoning produced fierce sparks in his mouth, like a prairie fire, making every hair on Lei Xiao's body stand on end.
Such a gourmet experience can only be described as wonderful.
After feeling satisfied, Lei Xiao cut off a large piece of steak on the plate in front of him, and put it into his mouth again.
"My lord, this is the most delicate part of the waist and back of a ferocious fourth-order monster unique to the remote and extremely cold place, the Silver Emperor Snow Cow."
An old voice sounded, and Ward, who was standing by the side, bowed slightly, and introduced: "This monster will only come out to look for food after the first snowstorm every year, and before the second snowstorm comes, it will It is extremely rare to return to the nest and enter a state of dormancy and meditation."
"In addition, the Silver Emperor Snow Ox itself has the powerful strength of a fourth-level ice magician and a hard outer skin comparable to a fourth-level heavy armor. Even if ordinary strong people encounter it by chance, they will avoid it."
The old housekeeper with a clean white cloth on his arm continued: "Therefore, the value will naturally rise. Even ordinary nobles may not be able to eat a bite in a few years."
"It's interesting."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then noticed it rather amusedly.
The trio of foodies not far away have eaten so much food that their eyes are watering, and they are eating happily.
Looking at the imposing three foodies, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then turned his attention to the delicately arranged fried fish pieces on the other side.
Gently smelling the aroma of fried fish, Lei Xiao forked up the fish piece, dipped it in the sauce next to it, and put it into his mouth again.
Just when Lei Xiao was chewing tentatively to see if there were any fishbone in it.
A smell of the sea, like a stormy sea, rushed into Lei Xiao's mind instantly.
The ultimate taste of charred outside and tender inside, the thornless delicious fish meat, combined with the sweet and sour secret sauce, is like a perfect trio, playing perfectly in the mouth.
Lei Xiao finally came back to his senses after eating all the food, but the fragrance still lingered on his teeth and cheeks, which made people linger.
"My lord, if you want to talk about this fish, you can only describe it as extraordinary..."
The old butler Ward bowed again, and while removing the empty plate that Lei Xiao had eaten, he started to introduce again.
