“The names of these two squads are simple and direct, just one word, ‘Shadow’.”
As for their strength, the four strongest are at Tier 2 Seven-Star, a few are at
Tier 2 Five-Star, and the rest are all at Tier 2 Three-Star.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray randomly opened some details pages of the new subordinates.
In terms of skills, they all have passive skills like ‘Dagger Mastery’ and ‘Shadow Stealth’.
Some even master active skills such as ‘Poisoned Attack’, ‘Poison Mist’, ‘Shadow Kill’, and ‘Sonic Blade’.
“Well, they’re almost like replicas of Serena and Stella. It seems that with a little bit of training, we’ll have an elite stealth squad like we discussed with Linda before!”
After closing the attribute interface, Leo Ray was delighted to think of this.
On the other side, the two black-clothed commanders were already standing in front of him with reverence on their faces.
Upon closer inspection, the two were a man and a woman, both around thirty years old, and appeared to have a clean and efficient style.
“We were born in darkness, and we serve the light. We are willing to go through fire and water for you, Lord!”
Immediately afterward, two synchronized, solemn voices sounded, and they knelt on one knee.
At the same time, the rest of the new subordinates not far away also made the same action in unison, deeply bowing their heads to Leo Ray.
“Loyalty starts at 100 points for everyone? It seems like they indeed share some similarities with Serena and Stella’s occupation. However, loyalty is no longer an issue for me now.”
Nodding in satisfaction, Leo Ray bent down to help the two commanders up, then slightly raised his hand to signal the other new subordinates to stand up.
After a brief chat with the two black-clothed commanders, Leo Ray found out that the man’s name was Dean and the woman’s name was Fiona Harding. They specialized in assassination, stealth reconnaissance work, and covert lookout activities.
“Even though loyalty is already at 100 points, I still need to give them the necessary equipment.”
Upon thinking of this, Leo Ray’s heart stirred slightly.
The next moment, 200 sets of Tier 3 Elf Cloth Armor and 200 Tier 3 short swords from the City Lord Mansion’s treasure vault appeared out of nowhere.
As for the subordinates of the two Shadow squads, their excitement and shock were apparent.
Meanwhile, Leo Ray took the time to arrange the living quarters for both Shadow squads in the northwest corner of the city, near the western city walls and the back gate of the territory.
“At the current stage, the eastern area outside the territory has Werewolf Tribe settlements, the southern area has the Half-Elf Barrier, and the northern area has the mountain range.
While there is a river blocking the western area and Cyan Town on the other side of the river, there is no regular patrol force.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray continued to ponder.
“In this case, one squad will patrol the vast western area of the territory to defend against possible Coldflame forces and scout for specific locations in the territory.
The other squad will be trained as a stealth unit. When Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe, who are familiar with the geography and customs of Coldflame, have finished refining, they can train them during their spare time and then scatter them to gather intelligence in various Coldflame cities.” With that in mind, Leo Ray opened the Territory interface again.
“The current population of the territory has reached ‘900/1000’? Since I still need to reserve some population to win over Princess Ariel, and there is currently no large number of Tier 2 Recruitment Orders, it will stop here for now.”
Making up his mind, Leo Ray returned to the Lord’s Mansion, made a corresponding number of wooden beds, tables, chairs, and benches, and distributed them to the newly joined squads based on their needs.
When all this was completed, he waved his hand and summoned all the commanders and powerful subordinates to gather.
“Even though we have fortified the entire territory with a large number of fortresses, the most crucial parts, the city gates and crenellations, remain unbuilt. Moreover, we also lack a fast method to climb the city walls.”Leo Ray’s dark eyes shifted slightly, scanning Taylor and the other powerful individuals, as well as the commanders of the eight middle teams in front of him.
He continued to speak: “Therefore, I will prepare the necessary tools and materials shortly.”
“Everyone hurry up and create a direct upward passage from the inside of each fortress, where the middle teams are, to the city wall for future patrolling and defense purposes. Then, work on building the crenellations and city gates simultaneously, striving to complete the remaining parts as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Lord!”
On the other side, all the subordinates bowed their fists and greeted respectfully.
“Very good. ”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray detailed the guard areas each team was responsible for, ensuring that during construction, there were at least eight fully armed squads and five Earth Guardian teams stationed in various areas and surrounding territories.
As for the professionalism of construction, Leo Ray had already learned that newly summoned Heavy Shield Shooter Squads and the Werewolf Warrior Squad, which mainly used stone architecture, all had extensive construction experience and he did not need to worry.
So, after arranging everything properly, Leo Ray led Taylor and the other strong men back to Cyan Town.
On this trip, they were to make large purchases of daily necessities, clothing, and related materials, further replenishing their supplies and distributing them to the new subordinates. On the other hand, they would also buy concrete and tools for constructing the city gates and crenellations.
It is worth mentioning that upon simple inquiry, Leo Ray learned that all the concrete in this world was mixed by professional Earth Element Magicians using special magic, almost identical to that of his previous world.
Anyway, with the help of Rhizoma Drynariae, the commander of the Defense Army, the City Lord Leo Ray found two drawbridges and the accompanying equipment and two heavy double-opening metal doors from Cyan Town’s warehouse. These items perfectly solved the issue of the city gates throughout the fortress.
At the same time, Leo Ray noticed that the upgrading and reinforcement of Cyan Town’s walls were progressing smoothly.
Due to generous rewards, many farmers from nearby villages rushed to apply for work. With room and board included, all taverns and guesthouses in Cyan Town were fully booked, and a large number of logistics personnel were hired.
This indirectly boosted the economic development of the town.
Of course, despite Leo Ray financing all of this, it was merely a drop in the bucket for him and not worth mentioning.
Seizing the opportunity, Leo Ray instructed Rhizoma Drynariae to dig a trench while rebuilding the city walls, further strengthening the city’s defenses.
After everything was completed, Leo Ray, carrying a full load, hurried back to his territory with his subordinates without stopping.
With the proper materials and tools in hand, the eagerly anticipating middle teams in the territory immediately started working diligently.
While his subordinates began their construction work, Leo Ray, feeling relaxed, came to a gently flowing stream in the territory and couldn’t help but show a contemplative expression..
