Chapter 682: Chapter 465: Banquet Night (Part 1)

On the other side, Scarlett and Daisy Sasha exchanged smiles as they looked at the astonished Finley and Daisy Zuman, whose jaws were almost dropping. They did not answer directly.

Instead, they gazed reverently at Leo Ray, who was standing calmly nearby. The answer was self-evident by then.

Then, Finley and Daisy Zuman, dumbfounded, discovered that beside their lord, there seemed to be two powerful Tier 5 powerhouses standing!

Moreover, in the territory, there were three Miracle Buildings that could be called the highest crystallizations of wisdom!

And besides, there were 18 terrifyingly powerful and crystal-clear Ice Crystal Knights nearby. Under the light of the three Miracle Buildings, they stood there, shining!

It was important to know that even if they came from the all-encompassing Magic Tower, which was the center of wisdom, they had never seen such a breathtaking scene!

At the same time, the other members of the Mage Squad were also breathing rapidly due to excitement.

They never could have dreamed that they would be so close to witnessing such a shocking sight within the territory!

For a while, waves of suppressed awe and worshipful gazes were cast upon Leo Ray.

Noticing the continuously updated loyalty prompts before him, Leo Ray gave a faint smile and then casually waved his hand. Two hundred Tier 3 Magic Staves, known as Rod of Truth, and 200 Tier 3 Magic Robes called Robe of Sky, which had been upgraded not long ago, appeared in front of everyone.

Next, when Leo Ray announced that the 400 glittering Tier 3 magic items would be bestowed upon every member of the two Mage Squads, the surprise of these elite magicians was self-evident, and their loyalty levels settled at full marks as expected.

After, Leo Ray arranged the living quarters for the two Mage Squads in the fortresses on the north and south walls.

Worth mentioning was that even before this, Leo Ray had already prepared plenty of beds, weapon racks, wardrobes, and other necessary furniture in the idle fortresses.

Furthermore, large quantities of daily necessities were stored in the warehouses at the four corners of the territory, managed by the Farmer Squad. As long as Leo Ray agreed, they could be registered for use.

Additionally, old steward Warren Dexter and his staff had already installed sewage treatment magic arrays in these fortresses.

As a result, it was no problem to settle these new subordinates in a short time.

Thus, after everything was properly arranged, Leo Ray sniffed the scent of the cool night breeze and the spicy roasted meat and rich cheese fragrance that filled the territory under the deep blue moonlit night sky.

He then waved his hand and said to all his subordinates with a faint smile, “Alright, it’s time for us to start the banquet. I believe that the royal gourmet dishes made from the finest ingredients will bring everyone a wonderful evening.”

“At your command! We are very grateful, Lord!”

Upon hearing this, everyone, whether it was the newly joined soldiers of the seven middle teams or the soldiers and main subordinates of the other six teams, bowed in unison and spoke with excitement.

After that, Leo Ray walked towards the large kitchen in the southeast corner of the territory and the newly built five-dining hall area, surrounded by his primary subordinates.

As he approached, he smelled the increasingly rich, mouth-watering fragrance of the food in the air and first arrived at the entrance of the large kitchen.

At this moment, flashes of firelight and rising heat could be seen from the kitchen windows.

Every now and then, Tier 3 chefs in white uniforms and chef’s hats could be seen hustling back and forth.

Moreover, a constant stream of fragrant food was brought out by the soldier assistants under the leadership and coordination of the Tier 3 female servants, in an orderly manner.

As for the banquet venue, Leo Ray did not use the five separate dining halls. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to move all the long dining tables, chairs, and tableware outside, and arranged many Light Crystal Stones around the area, making the entire venue brightly lit.

Currently, there were nearly two middle teams of elite soldiers scattered around the territory, standing guard at various outposts and patrols, waiting for the rotations of other soldiers. As a result, each great dining hall could easily accommodate 200 people and the extra tableware and chairs were enough for the remaining subordinates to use.

“Reporting to Lord, the first round of dishes, including the reserved ones for the duty soldiers, have been prepared!”

At this moment, Head Chef Rudy Blues walked over excitedly, took off his chef hat, and saluted Leo Ray.

“Well done; you’ve worked hard this time,” Leo Ray responded, patting Rudy’s broad shoulder.

“Lord, it’s a pleasure to be able to personally cook these rare and expensive ingredients into delicious dishes. I can’t tell you how happy I am!”

On the other side, Rudy hurriedly waved his hand and bowed to Leo Ray, saying, “Many thanks to Lord for giving us this precious cooking opportunity!”

Afterward, Rudy gladly bowed out.
