Chapter 468 The Lord and the Banquet Night

Concentrating for a moment, Lei Xiao looked at the two bright moons in the night sky, and nodded thoughtfully.

"The current Lengyan Kingdom is turbulent on the surface and treacherous in the dark. It is already extremely chaotic. Maybe it won't be long before this opportunity will come."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's frowns that were tightly knit together then relaxed.

As long as you go on unswervingly, maybe the turning point is just around the corner.

Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, there was a polite knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Lei Xiao pulled back his thoughts, sat on the office chair again, and nodded slightly.

"See Lord Lord!"

A pleasant crisp sound sounded, and the slender figures of Xueya and Faxia appeared at the door together.

There was still a touch of excitement and excitement on the fair faces of the two of them, obviously they hadn't recovered from the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet.

"Come in and talk."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and said, "How is it going? How was the banquet tonight?"

"My lord, even at the dinner held by the royal family, my subordinates have never seen so many delicacies!"

Fasha stroked her fluffy short hair and said excitedly: "Especially the vegetable salad with rainbow lettuce and dragon flame fruit as the main dish, served with secret mayonnaise and grated cheese, it's fresh yet full-bodied The sweet and fragrant taste is simply the most delicious food I have ever eaten!"

"My lord, the seafood soup with king mad crab is also perfect!"

Xue Ya's soft waist-length hair swayed, and she also bowed slightly to Lei Xiao and said, "It's just that Nan Xing Nanyue seems to be very resistant to this dish, and has always avoided it..."

"A violent king crab?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help curling his lips slightly.

I remember that in the fearful illusion of the half-elf enchantment, the thing that the twin sisters were most afraid of was this fourth-order monster.

"My lord, after you left, 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, the half of the grilled crab legs are at least 1 meter long!"

Seeing that Fa Xia seemed to have thought of something, she danced to Lei Xiao in shock and said, "I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Bingliu family can eat so much, and ordinary people really can't afford it."

"My lord, don't listen to the nonsense of the frizzy girl, the subordinates only ate a quarter of it, no, it's only a sixth of a crab leg at most!"

Xueya, whose complexion was turning red, waved her slender hands in a panic, and said with her hands on her hips again: "But this young lady of the Fuyue family always talks about staying in shape and never eating sweets, but she just ate for a whole day. A large plate of chocolate mille-feuille crepes with dreamy butter!"

"No, no, my lord, this subordinate just took a sip, just a sip..."

Fasha's hair became more frizzy, and he wiped the corner of his mouth subconsciously.

"It's really a pair of living treasures."

Lei Xiao looked at the two young aristocratic women bickering with each other in front of him, and smiled helplessly.

"Sorry, my lord, I almost forgot the business."

Xue Ya was the first to realize that she had lost her composure, and even handed over today's Qi Condensation Pill respectfully.

And Faxia also made the same action, and smiled embarrassedly.

Lei Xiao took a bunch of small and exquisite brocade boxes, and first handed the 50 copies of Qi Condensing Pill refining materials that he had prepared before to the two of them, and then smiled and said: "Okay, let's all go back to rest early, or continue Go and have a big meal."

After the two bowed and left, Lei Xiao immediately upgraded 15 new Qi Condensation Pills.

In the end, 730 Condensing Qi Pills and 8 Rose Concentrating Pills were obtained.

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and began to count the quantities of these two potions.

"Currently, I have 801 Qi Condensing Pills and 17 Rose Concentrating Pills, which is quite a considerable amount."

At this point, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

"Not long ago, I have given the five werewolf warrior squadrons in the Snow Wolf Clan station, the two reserve archer squadrons in the half-elf enchantment, and the newly formed five guard squadrons in Kongqing Town, a corresponding amount of condensed air. Dan."

"It is enough to make these ordinary first-tier squadrons reach the level of second-tier elite squadrons within a few days, so that the combat power has been strengthened by leaps and bounds."

"In this way, there are no areas where the second-tier elite squadrons are stationed under my command, and there are only two places left, Magnet Town and Red Arrow Town."

"Since I have already invested a lot of money in Chijian Town to try to form a mercenary force, I am not considering it for the time being. The only area left is Magneto Town."

Lei Xiao rubbed his chin while continuing to think.

"Although Magnet Town only has a garrison army of 2,000 people, and its strength is relatively weak due to long-term malnutrition, but because Magnet Town is also close at hand to the territory, it is an important part of the territory's defense line, so naturally it cannot be ignored. .”

"Then, the Qi Condensation Pill this time should be enough to supply Magneto Town. 800 Qi Condensation Pills are enough for this city to have two more elite second-tier squadrons in case of emergency."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and leaned against the boss's desk.

"In addition, I have already asked the Nate Ned brothers to greatly increase the treatment and food of the garrison, which has made the morale of the soldiers unprecedentedly high, and the work of training and conscription is also proceeding in an orderly manner."

"Coupled with the fact that all the staff have been equipped with Tier 2 equipment, it won't be long before Magneto Town's defense force will recover."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao immediately ordered Ward to come with Nednet through the words.

Not long after, under the guidance of the old housekeeper, the two of them appeared in front of Lei Xiao together.

"Meet the lord!"

Ned and Nate, whose faces were flushed after eating, saluted Lei Xiao respectfully as soon as they entered the door.

"Get up, everyone."

Lei Xiao looked at the two brothers who had oily lips but serious expressions, and said with a faint smile, "This is not a public place, so don't be too formal."

While speaking, Lei Xiao could clearly see it.

Although the two brothers ate happily, judging from their steady steps and piercing eyes, they didn't drink much and kept a clear head.

Lei Xiao nodded approvingly, and then told the two of his thoughts just now, and then with a wave of his hand, he handed over 800 Qi Condensing Pills surrounded by strange fragrances to the two of them.

"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"

Ned and Nate, both looking very happy, put a large amount of potion into the storage ring, and then bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.

"Okay, the banquet is not over yet, let's continue to enjoy the fun of food."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, waved his hand casually, indicating that the two of them can leave.

After Ned and Nate bowed to leave, Lei Xiao nodded to the old butler Ward and ordered him to bring Donna over.

"Subordinates pay homage to Lord Lord!"

Not long after, the sassy female mercenary captain in leather armor knelt down in front of Lei Xiao.

Judging from her awe and exquisite face that still retains shock.

Apparently, she never expected that the territory ruled by the lord is undoubtedly much more magnificent and powerful than she imagined!

And at the banquet, those top-notch delicacies and fine wines that she had never seen before made her almost unable to believe her eyes and tongue while feasting on them.

And the one who made her feel all this was naturally the lord in front of her!

"You don't have to be polite."

Lei Xiao leaned down to help him up, and asked with a smile, "Donna, how is the recruitment of mercenaries in Chijian Town going?"

"My lord, before my subordinates set off, there were already eight squadrons of mercenaries stationed in Red Arrow Town, most of which were composed of individual mercenaries in small groups, and the most prestigious mercenaries were the squadron leaders. As for The other part is a small mercenary regiment with the size of three squadrons."

Donna, who was still very excited, collected herself first, and then responded sarcasticly: "In addition, there are two small squadron-sized mercenary regiments on their way to Red Arrow Town, and they will all arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

"By then, Chijian Town will reach the size of a brigade garrisoned by the lord."

Donna continued to report with a confident expression: "The most important thing is that, according to the lord's orders, no matter whether it is the individual mercenaries stationed in the town or the small mercenary regiment, they all have a good reputation in the mercenary world. His existence will never oppress the local civilians, please rest assured, my lord!"

"Donna, you are doing very well."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "How is the overall situation in Chijian Town?"

"Lord Lord, after you completely destroyed the Bead Monster Farm, your subordinates led the local residents and mercenaries to clear most of the ruins along the river, and normal fishing activities will resume soon. .”

"The inner wall next to the clock tower in the city has also been completely demolished, allowing the entire town to break free from the last shackles and completely return to its original appearance."

Seeing that Donna still maintained her bowing posture, she said sadly: "But a small number of residents have moved out of the city one after another, making the already desolate town feel lonely again."

"This is also a reasonable thing, but as long as we can rebuild this town and make the remaining residents live well, the population will naturally repopulate."

With a wave of Lei Xiao, he spread twenty boxes of golden dragons in front of Donna, nodded and said, "These 200,000 golden dragons are considered as supplementary funds for the recent period. The city has been rejuvenated."

"Obey, please rest assured, my lord!"

Tang Na's willow eyebrows were slightly condensed, and she said decisively: "From the mercenaries stationed in the city, I have selected capable personnel who can rebuild the city in all aspects, and formed a new city lord's mansion with the residents and elders in the city, responsible for coordinating everything. !"

"Very good, Donna, I did not misread you."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and continued to speak: "Next, let's expand the number of mercenaries stationed to 2,000. Chijian Town is a key part of my overall plan, and I will leave everything to you."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao handed 8 Rose Concentrating Pills into Donna's hands, and said with a smile: "These potions are enough to make you rise to the peak of Tier 3, so feel free to do it. If you encounter any problems, contact me in time." I will make contact."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao's tone became a little more serious, and he said solemnly: "Remember, you are not walking alone. There is a powerful territory behind you."

"Obey! Your lord! This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for your lord!"

On Donna's sassy and delicate face, she was already so excited that she couldn't help herself, so she knelt down on the ground again, swearing her loyalty.

When Donna resigned excitedly, Lei Xiao first read the words to inform the old butler Ward, the four third-rank maids and Xiaoya to move back into the Lord's Mansion, and then returned to the outdoors where the evening breeze was cool.

Facing the silver-white moonlight under the dark blue night, walking on the grass covered by the moonlight, it didn't take long before Lei Xiao, who returned to the banquet venue, noticed it.

The entire venue was still very lively.

The subordinates who were standing guard before have all been replaced, and they are all stuck in the pile of delicious food in front of them, unable to extricate themselves.

And those subordinates who had already eaten almost, brought plate after plate of good food to the subordinates who had just been served.

"Yes, this is what the territory looks like in my mind."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly, returned to his seat and sat down, holding a cup of steaming hot milk, chatting casually with his subordinates.

It wasn't until midnight that the twin moons in the night sky became brighter and clearer. Surrounded by all the main force's subordinates, Lei Xiao walked towards the lord's mansion again.

As for the other leaders' subordinates, since they were stationed not very far from the territory, Lei Xiao didn't want to keep them. They all distributed an invisibility cloak, and they all went home happily.

During this process, Lei Xiao also distributed a storage ring to the old half-elf Chuangu, Aaron, Bud, Zhusha, and the four captains of the garrison in Kongqing Town who had not been issued storage rings before. .

Not long after, Lei Xiao, who returned to the lord's mansion, went all the way up, and soon came to 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 font, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

"After the battle at the ruins of the Dwarven Forge Castle in the Gate of Immortality, the mysterious organization that must have lost its troops and lost its generals will definitely shift most of its attention to the Lengyan royal family, right?"

"And I can just take advantage of this opportunity, seize the time, and get the entire Lengyan eastern region into my pocket as soon as possible."

Lei Xiao removed the light spar from the bedside table, making the room dark, while continuing to think.

"However, the strength of the entire Lengyan eastern region must not be underestimated."

"According to Lin's statistics, in addition to the cities under my command, other large and small cities are combined, but there are more than 200,000 garrison troops, not counting the garrisons in the border areas and the preparations that can be mobilized at any time in various places." force."

"You know, this is at least equivalent to the combat power of more than 20 fifth-tier powerhouses. It's better to talk about breaking each one. Once several big cities join forces to attack, the situation will undoubtedly be very serious."

"Of course, as the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, and there must be a lot of room for deployment. At that time, many interesting things will definitely happen..."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the sound of well-proportioned breathing rang out in the room.
