Gazing at the magic potions in front of them with their exotic fragrance.
Joceline, the two Waters Family defense army commanders, and the recently arrived Bella White couldn’t help but stare with their mouths open, almost suffocating.
Without a doubt, what rushed towards them was not only the strong exotic fragrance but also the intoxicating scent of money!
“Here’s a Tier 3 healing magic medicine and twenty Tier 2 healing potions. Of course, I usually prefer to call them sugar beans,” said Leo Ray, looking at their dumbfounded expressions with a smile, and then he turned to the muscular
Gideon Black and said, “Gideon, give the City Lord the Tier 3 magic medicine.”
Considering the previous buildup in Golin City, Leo Ray’s current storage space still holds 4 Tier 3 healing magic medicines and more than 350 Tier 2 healing magic medicines, aside from the ones on the ground.
Therefore, giving out these was naturally not a problem.
Moreover, in addition to collecting magic medicine materials, Leo Ray had also been purchasing finished magic medicine through the Sanders’ Trading Conference system.
According to Linda, at most, only occasional second-tier magic medicines could be acquired. As for Tier 3 and even higher-tier magic medicines, they had to be obtained through regular auctions.
However, for Leo Ray, this evidently already had an icing on the cake effect.
“Yes, My Lord!”
Returning to the topic at hand, Gideon immediately bowed respectfully upon hearing Leo Ray’s command, and then squatted down to give the unconscious City Lord the medicine treatment.
“Thank you very much, Lo…no, My Lord!”
Seeing this, Joceline’s fair and delicate face couldn’t hide her excitement, and she knelt down again to Leo Ray. As she knelt, her body trembled slightly due to her excitement.
Without a doubt, the lord in front of her was a true life savior for her and her father!
Amidst her gratitude, Joceline understood clearly that since there were outsiders present and the lord had not revealed his identity, as a subordinate, she naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
On the other side, seeing the scene as well, the two middle-aged Waters Family defense army commanders couldn’t help but swallow, and cast a discreet, respectful look at Leo Ray.
To put it bluntly, the two were only loyal subordinates of the Waters Family, without even a noble title, so where had they ever seen such a lavish scene?
Although they wisely chose to remain neutral during the inner struggle between the City Lord and several elders, they didn’t offend anyone. Yet, had they known the City Lord had such a powerful backer on his side, and if they had shown their loyalty sooner, maybe they could have received some rewards!
Thinking about this, both of their faces couldn’t help but show a hint of regret. As for Bella White, who had been standing on the side, her eyes were already glued to the magic potions on the ground tor quite some time.
She was just a servant girl of the Waters Family, having grown up with Joceline since childhood, and naturally had never seen such extravagance.
Noticing the excitement of the other three, Leo Ray couldn’t help but roll his eyes and didn’t say anything else.
After accepting Joceline, the population of the Territory had reached its limit. Therefore, they could only wait for the Lord’s Mansion to be upgraded before making new plans.
“My Lord, may I begin to handle the affairs within the city?”Seeing that her father’s condition had stabilized, Joceline gave a fist salute to Leo Ray.
“Let’s begin.” Leo Ray nodded slightly and spoke.
After saluting Leo Ray, Joceline lightly coughed, extended her delicate hand to reveal the ring representing the highest authority of the City Lord, and said to the two middle-aged Defense Army commanders, “By the name of the City Lord, I command you to mobilize the Waters Family’s Defense Army stationed in the city. On one hand, move into the castle to protect the safety of the Lord’s Mansion.”
Taking a deep breath, Joceline continued, “On the other hand, conduct a city-wide search to eliminate the remaining forces of the three elders and restore the stability of Milan Town!”
“Yes, City Lord!”
On the other side, the two Defense Army commanders saluted in unison and turned to carry out their orders.
After they left, Joceline couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from her slightly tense expression, she would need some time to adapt to her new identity as City Lord.
Next, following Leo Ray’s instructions, everyone brought the unconscious old City Lord to the castle’s bedroom and left Bella White to take care of him.
Then, under Joceline’s guidance, they entered another clean and tidy resting room.
“I apologize, my Lord, for not being able to provide better hospitality in the currently chaotic Lord’s Mansion,” Joceline said with a bow to Leo Ray, before Imeeling down with a grateful expression, “Thank you again, my Lord, for helping me reclaim the castle and saving my father!”
“Get up, from now on we are on the same side,” Leo Ray said with a faint smile, waving his hand.
After a moment of contemplation, Leo Ray spoke again, “In any case, the main priority for now is to stabilize the entire city. Of course, on the surface, your Waters Family is still loyal to the Coldflame royal family.”
Without a doubt, if Cyan Town or the territory in the forest is threatened, the Waters Family’s Defense Army could become an unexpected surprise attack.
“Please be assured, my Lord, our Waters Family is willing to go through fire and water for you!” Joceline immediately bowed with unwavering determination.
“Very well, what is the current financial and military situation of the Waters Family?” Leo Ray continued to inquire.
“My Lord, our Milan Town has always been focused on agriculture and is known as the eastern granary of the Coldflame Kingdom. Although recently, due to border conflicts, the Coldflame royal family has requisitioned a portion of our resources.
However, the castle’s granary still stores a large amount of grain, and with several consecutive years of bumper harvests, our financial situation has remained very stable,” Joceline replied, nodding slightly to Leo Ray.
“As for the military situation, we currently have three full Defense Army Corps, including one Light Cavalry Brigade, which our Waters Family takes great pride in.
On the border battlefield, there is also a full Corps. Fortunately, as this full Corps is a reserve force, even though the Coldflame Army faced major losses recently, they did not suffer much damage. However, the three most elite Tier 2 Royal Guard Squads were almost completely wiped out in the recent internal conflict,” Joceline finished, her eyes downcast as she sighed softly.
“And you have a cavalry corps…” Leo Ray said thoughtfully to himself.
Having seen the devastating power of cavalry during a group charge on the border battlefield, Leo Ray knew the potential impact a well-utilized cavalry unit could have. This cavalry unit could undoubtedly become a sharp sword thrust into the enemy’s heart!
With the addition of the Werewolf Warriors, who were comparable to a cavalry unit, they finally had a well-organized cavalry unit in their faction.
Thinking of this, Leo Ray gently patted Joceline’s shoulder to comfort her, then said, “It’s alright, don’t forget that from now on, we still have control of the future.”
Immediately, with a thought, Leo Ray revealed a large amount of magic medicine capable of increasing strength before Joceline.
Looking at her astonished expression, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “The first step in Milan Town’s path to a new future will start with making you, the new City Lord, stronger..”
