Chapter 470 The Appointment of the Territory
In the spacious and quiet lord's mansion, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the metal throne, continued to say solemnly, "First of all, Rogge, the captain of the heavy guard squadron, is officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of all the elite squadrons in the territory."
"The main responsibilities are to be responsible for the defense arrangements in the territory in peacetime, formulate training plans, command and dispatch during wartime when I am away, and clean up the battlefield after the war."
Lei Xiao nodded to the middle-aged commander with gray temples and a resolute face, and said earnestly, "Rogge, the defense of the territory will be entrusted to you."
"Obey! The subordinates must do their best for the lord, and die!"
There was a crisp sound of armor colliding, and Rogge in black heavy armor took a step forward and lowered his head to Lei Xiao.
"Get up, I have seen all your sacrifices during this time, and hope that under your leadership, the territory will become more indestructible and orderly."
Lei Xiao raised his hand to signal the other party to stand up, his eyes moved slowly, and fell on the slender female half-elf in exquisite leather armor, and said seriously: "As for the deputy commander in the territory, it is still Bai Zhi, the captain of the half-elf archer. in charge."
"The main duty is to assist Rogge in his daily work arrangements and wartime command and dispatch."
Lei Xiao nodded to the fair-faced and handsome female half-elf, and said sternly, "Bai Zhi, I hope you can give full play to the strength of half-elf forest warfare and make this territory more solid."
"Obey! The subordinates will do their best to live up to the entrustment of the lord!"
Bai Zhi, with long hair and a shawl, also walked out of the commander's queue and knelt on one knee.
"Get up, when I'm not around, the safety of the territory will be entrusted to you."
Lei Xiao looked at the firmness revealed in Bai Zhi's clear almond eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.
When the two stood back in the queue again, Lei Xiao continued to move his gaze, and said, "Next, it is about the appointment of the commander of the territory's logistics department."
Lei Xiao's stern gaze finally fell on the old butler's straight body, and he nodded slightly: "Ward, as the saying goes, the food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved, and this important task is entrusted to you. Don't let me down on you! expect."
"Obey! This subordinate is willing to serve the lord to the death!"
The old housekeeper's old face was also full of awe-inspiring expression, and he performed a standard kneeling and chest salute to Lei Xiao.
"You don't have to be polite."
Lei Xiao nodded to signal the old housekeeper to get up, and then said to the head chef Rudy and the farmer squadron leader Gang Song: "As for the deputy commander of the logistics department, you two will be in charge, and you must ensure that the soldiers in the territory are fed. Get dressed."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiaolue pondered for a while, and then added: "From today onwards, the Farmer Squadron is officially under the jurisdiction of the Territory's Logistics Department, and is mainly responsible for warehouse management and kitchen support in the Territory."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
Rudy and Gang Song took a step forward at the same time, saluted respectfully, and said solemnly.
"Then it's all up to you, don't let me down."
Lei Xiao first picked up the freshly brewed tea next to him, and took a sip.
Then, Lei Xiao was holding a steaming delicate white porcelain cup and said, "Besides, the work of the two magician squadrons is a bit special."
Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Zhuqi and Finley, and he continued: "You are mainly responsible for the daily maintenance of the three miracle buildings, charging and replacing the magic light crystals that have run out of magic power, and the duty of the Tower of Illusion Work."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
The commanders of the two magician squadrons dressed in colorful robes bowed together and said in unison.
I saw that the faces of the two were full of excitement. It was undoubtedly their dream to be accompanied by the miraculous building that was called the crystallization of wisdom every day!
"Ward, after the meeting is over, take Zhuqi, Finley and others to familiarize yourself with these procedures."
Looking at the excited faces of the two, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.
"Obey, my lord."
An old voice sounded, and the old housekeeper responded respectfully.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
Lei Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and said to Zhu Qi and Finley, "I will set up the magic cannons on the forts on the city wall in a while, and the maintenance and management of the magic cannons will also be handed over to you magicians. Squadron."
"Please rest assured, my lord, these are the things that my subordinates and others are best at!"
Zhuqi, whose fair face was dotted with some freckles, hurriedly bowed again with Finley, and responded together.
"Okay, it's time to arrange today's work in the territory."
Lei Xiao gently put down the white porcelain cup in his hand, refocused his gaze on the subordinates, and began to deploy.
"The main tasks in the territory today are divided into two."
Lei Xiao first looked at Rogge and Bai Zhi, and said sternly, "First, expand the moat outside the city wall, which was originally 3 meters x 3 meters, to at least 10 meters wide and 5 meters deep to prepare for the next moat. , is in charge of the elite squadron in the territory."
"Obey! Your lord!"
The chief and deputy commanders of the two territories bowed at the same time and responded neatly.
"This matter is the top priority of the territory's defense, and it must be completed as soon as possible."
Lei Xiao nodded to the two, then turned to the old butler Ward, and continued: "Secondly, five large half-elven arched stone houses will be rebuilt as new canteens, and the logistics department will be responsible."
After speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the five architectural blueprints that had been prepared a long time ago appeared on the palm of his hand.
"Obey, my lord."
After receiving Lei Xiao's signal, the old butler stepped forward, lowered his body and took the blueprint that was shining with magic streamer, and responded respectfully.
When Ward, who was holding the blueprint of the building, returned to the team, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and landed on the body of Hu Zhang and the others, and said: "As for the main subordinates, they are on standby in the territory for the time being. Faxia is continuing to refine the Qi Condensation Pill."
"Obey! Your lord!"
A neat voice sounded, and all the subordinates of the main force touched their chests and saluted together, and bowed in response.
"Okay, let's end the meeting here."
Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, and said, "Rogge and the ten new squadron leaders will stay for a while, and the others can be disbanded."
Not long after, in a closed reception room next to the hall, Rogge was the first to stand respectfully in front of Lei Xiao.
"Rogge, you've worked hard these days, especially when I'm not around. The territory is still well-organized and heavily guarded."
Lei Xiao nodded to the middle-aged commander with gray temples, and smiled slightly.
The reason why Lei Xiao chose Rogge to be the commander was naturally because he had the oldest battlefield experience and was also the most stable.
Through silent observation during this period of time, Lei Xiao made further discoveries.
The old commander's meticulous performance was indeed outstanding, and he arranged the bright posts and secret posts all over the territory to complement each other, very well organized.
"Your lord has praised you, these are just the duties of the subordinates."
On Rogge's resolute face, a touch of flattery suddenly appeared, and he shook his head with some embarrassment: "It's just a subordinate's job to try to do the best."
"Achieve the ultimate within the duty, and it is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people. I see all this in my eyes and keep it in my heart."
Lei Xiao still maintained a smile, and 8 rose energy-concentrating pills surrounded by strange fragrances suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand.
I saw Lei Xiao handing a bunch of brocade boxes in his hand to Rogge, and said with a smile: "These are my awards to you, I hope you can continue to work hard and help me manage the territory more perfectly."
"This is……?!"
Somewhat in disbelief, he took the potion handed by Lei Xiao, and after a moment of stupefaction, a look of ecstasy appeared on Rogge's face.
At this moment, Rogge was very excited.
At present, his own strength is at the third rank and one star, and these priceless rose energy-concentrating pills can undoubtedly make him skyrocket, and in a short period of time, he can directly reach the level of the third rank peak powerhouse!
You know, at my current age, if I practice slowly, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the height of the third-order peak in my lifetime!
But now, the lord just waved his hand casually, and completely changed his life once again!
Overjoyed, Rogge quickly knelt down on the ground again, his strong body trembling slightly because of the excitement, and said with a full body: "Thank you very much, Lord Lord! This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for Lord Lord, and will do whatever it takes!"
"I look forward to your better performance."
After Lei Xiao lowered his body and helped him up, he nodded in satisfaction.
When Rogge left excitedly, the five longbowman captains including Zhuqi, Finley, and Rick, and the three spearman squadron leaders including Erin entered the room neatly, and bowed in unison. Said: "Subordinates see Lord Lord!"
"You squadron leaders don't need to be polite."
With a wave of Lei Xiao's hand, 10 storage rings and 200 second-order healing potions flashed on the wooden table in front of him together.
For a moment, the shining storage rings and the exquisite brocade boxes overflowing with fragrance were neatly arranged, making the room feel like a dream, and people couldn't help feeling dazzled.
"Worthy of being the lord, you are full of arrogance when you make a move!"
Looking at the colorful scene in front of them, all the squadron leaders couldn't help but roll their throats, with respectful expressions on their faces.
The combined value of these rare and expensive items is probably at least tens of millions of gold dragons!
"Everyone, these are my meeting gifts. Each of you has 1 storage ring and 20 second-order healing potions for emergencies."
Lei Xiao looked at the stunned expressions of the ten new commanders, smiled lightly and said, "I hope you can integrate into the territory as soon as possible, and contribute your own strength to the construction and development of the territory."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
The 10 squadron leaders were already so excited that they couldn't control themselves, so they had to crawl deeply under Lei Xiao's feet again.
So far, all commanders above the squadron leader level in the territory, as well as all the main subordinates, have all been equipped with storage rings and healing potions for emergency treatment.
In this way, these important subordinates will undoubtedly be able to deal with various emergencies more conveniently and efficiently.
The 10 commanders had just bowed and left the reception room together, when Lei Xiao's reminder to read the words suddenly sounded.
When Lei Xiao was puzzled, he immediately connected to Nianhua.
I only heard Lin Sa's clear and crisp voice, and then it came over: "My lord, Princess Ariel has something to ask to see you."
"Oh? This is quite a strange thing."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What does she want to do?"
"Back to the lord, the matter has to start from a few days ago..."
Lin's respectful voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
Through Lin's detailed description, Lei Xiao learned about it.
Not long ago, the Kingdom of the Holy Night suddenly increased its troops in the border area, which made the situation that had eased a bit, and became extremely tense again.
As a result, the small frictions between Leng Yan and the opponent continued, and tended to intensify. It seemed that the two sides might break out another large-scale bloody battle at any time.
"However, although the two sides are at war, because the Lengyan royal family's reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, the Lengyan army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in strength, has to switch to a defensive position."
Lin's voice became more severe, and she continued: "Under the pressure of Holy Night, Leng Yan even lost a lot of land, and Ariel, who also got the news, seems to be planning to go to Check the situation at the border, and then let the subordinates inform you that they want to see you."
"It seems that things are really getting more and more serious."
After listening to Lin's report, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
When he was in the Shanjing Principality, he had already learned about it through Baron, the necromancer who attempted to turn the entire city into an army of undead.
While the battle for the capital of the three princes of Lengyan was in full swing, the main combat faction of the high-level Shengye was planning to take advantage of the time when Lengyan Kingdom was overwhelmed to take care of themselves and occupy a large area of land.
However, because the young new king of Holy Night was too timid to fight, he was unable to make a decision to attack in an all-out way. This led the opponent to finally hire the necromancer Baron, and prepared to find another way. Order.
"I'm afraid that the high-level people of Holy Night would never have thought that I would accidentally bump into them and finally crush their conspiracy, right?"
Lei Xiao shrugged, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I remember that when I went to the frontier battlefield for the first time, the Lengyan army won a big victory. I didn't expect the current situation to be completely reversed."
"However, as long as the dominant Holy Night Army can hold back Lengyan's border troops, it will naturally be beneficial to my plan to control the entire eastern region of Lengyan."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly again.
"But if the Holy Night Army really intends to launch a fierce offensive and wipe out the Lengyan Army in the border area, then naturally I can't sit idly by."
"What I need is for the two to contain each other, not for one to destroy the other."
Lei Xiao paced slowly in the room while continuing to frowned in thought.
"Having said that, it's not a bad thing for Ariel, the pampered fifth princess, to see the real battlefield."
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he said with a faint smile, "Perhaps, the opportunity for me to subdue Ariel is close at hand."
