Chapter 593: Chapter 422: Red Night_1
After this, since it was already past midnight and they had to head to Viennas City the next day.
So, Leo Ray arranged for Joshua Bingaman and Abigail, who had been living here, to
lead the other subordinates to have a late-night snack, then head to the already prepared accommodations to rest.
After all, upon returning from the hidden cave in the Pine Sound Range, the group had not eaten yet.
As for Leo Ray himself, he was accompanied by City Lord Tran to Firsdale City’s treasure vault.
Upon arriving at the spacious and slightly empty treasure vault, Leo Ray noticed after some inspection that
due to the full support of Joshua becoming an Alchemist, Firsdale City’s treasury reserves were not much better than Orion Wolfe’s hometown of Mystara City.
As a result, after some upgrades,
in terms of equipment, Leo Ray ultimately obtained 100 sets of Tier 3 Light Armor, 100 sets of Tier 3 Leather Armor, 100 sets of Tier 3 Plate Armor, and 2 Tier 4 Magic Wands.
As for magic medicine, he obtained 100 Ice Returning Pills and 1 Tier 3 Healing Magic Medicine.
“Tran, wait until the two royal guard squads are all equipped with Tier 3 equipment. Put the swapped-out Tier 2 equipment back into the equipment vault; I have other uses for it later.”
After completing all this, Leo Ray dusted off his hands,
turned around, and nodded to the respectful middle-aged City Lord standing beside him, “In addition, when the time is right, I will equip all of Firsdale City’s defense army with Tier 2 equipment, further enhancing Firsdale City’s overall combat power.”
“Many thanks, my Lord!”
Upon hearing this, Tran hurriedly bowed and said.
“Very well.”
Next, Leo Ray walked straight out of the Treasure Vault and back into the castle corridor, contemplating for a moment,
then continued, “Also, regarding the construction of city defense and recruitment of new soldiers, be sure to take it seriously. Make more strategic reserves; if the million Gold Dragons are used up, come to me for replenishment at any time.”
After nodding to Tran, Leo Ray seemed to have thought of something and said, “By the way, you must already know that the neighboring pleasure city Mystara City is also within our sphere of influence. You and Adams must work cooperatively to contribute to the territory’s development.”
“Understood! Please rest assured, Lord.”
Upon hearing this, Adams couldn’t help but show a smile on his handsome face and said, “It’s no secret, my Lord, Adams and I were sworn rivals in our youth. We know each other very well,
so it should not be long before Firsdale and Mystara cities form an indestructible defensive line and an invincible blade under your command.”
“Indeed, like father, like daughter, similar to the current Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe, right?”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray smiled slightly, then said, “I look forward to your outstanding performance. Also, even though there are no dragons in Firsdale, this matter must not be leaked, including to the ordinary members of the Rivers Family.”
“Understood! I know what to do, please rest assured, Lord.”
Hearing this, Tran responded with a solemn expression.
In this way, Leo Ray walked along the long castle corridor while chatting with Tran,
and soon arrived at the door of the prepared room.
On the other hand, Red Night, who was waiting at the door of the room, immediately came up and greeted, “Lord, you’re back.”
At this moment, Leo Ray noticed,
Red Night, originally wearing heavy red dragon scale armor, had changed into a simple red tight outfit.
The waist-length hair hanging behind her was also tied into a neat long ponytail with a red hair tie.
Although she had removed her equipment, she still looked quite valiant.
Seeing this, Red Night smiled shyly and said, “This is the outfit Joshua had helped me prepare. It is indeed lighter and more comfortable than before.”
“It suits you.”
Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and replied with a light smile.
“By the way, my Lord, it was originally Serena Clark on guard duty here, but knowing that I haven’t slept for more than six hundred years, I feel very energetic at the moment. So, I voluntarily let her go back to rest first.”
Following that, Red Night bowed slightly and added.
“I understand. Thank you for the hard work.”
Gently patting Red Night’s shoulder in encouragement, Leo Ray walked into the most luxurious room in the castle as Red Night and Tran saw him off.
On the circular bedside table,
there was already a selection of beautifully prepared food: a box of sandwiches, a portion of roasted wings, a cheese cake, and a glass of orange juice, just enough for Leo Ray’s portion.
This was Leo Ray’s request.
So that included himself, all his subordinates in the territory, and the defense army belonging to the cities, they must not waste food.
Of course, the premise was that they must eat well and be full.
After all, the consumption of strong individuals was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
The most crucial point was that Leo Ray was not lacking in resources.
Afterward, following a quick meal, Leo Ray, who had cleaned up, laid down contentedly on the comfortable bed.
It wasn’t long before even and steady breathing sounds could be heard.
…
The next morning, when the first brilliant ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the curtains and formed dazzling spots of light on the room’s mahogany floor.
