Chapter 376 Donna’s Loyalty 2

"Understood." Leo Ray nodded slightly without hesitation and directly approached the entrance.

With a wave of his hand, 100 neatly lined up Magic Cannons appeared out of nowhere.

"Erase these demon beasts." he commanded.

After nodding to Scarlett and Gideon Black, Leo Ray, along with his subordinates and people like Donna, retraced their steps out of the breeding ground that seemed like an enormous cage.

Without a doubt, there were a hundred easier ways for Leo Ray to obtain the Gold Dragon.

He would never allow such things to continue existing on the land that now belonged to him.

After Leo Ray and his party left the breeding ground, the ear-splitting sound of cannon fire echoed in their ears once again.

Only then, the cautious inhabitants seemed to realize something and began to tentatively approach his party.

As the intensity of the cannon fire grew, the expressions on the inhabitants' faces became more and more urgent, as if waiting for an answer that would only appear in dreams.

"Big brother, are you…here to save us?" a small, thin boy with a muddy face asked hesitantly after tugging on his mother's tattered sleeve.

With innocent, expectant eyes, he looked up at Leo Ray.

Upon hearing this, amidst his numerous subordinates, Leo Ray slowly approached the boy and bent down on one knee.

As he gently patted the boy's head, he smiled and said, "Yes, from now on, as long as I'm on this land, there will be no one to shackle you anymore."

"Nor anyone to put heavy chains on you."

At this moment, amidst the continuous cannon fire, Leo Ray's voice, though soft, brought a wave of excitement among the crowd.

For a time, men and women, old and young, after a moment of stillness, began to cheer and jump with joy. Many even wept with happiness, hugging each other tightly.

At this moment, it was clear to everyone present.

The long cold night had passed.

A new warm sunrise was rising.

It was thanks to the appearance of the young man before them that this town, shrouded in darkness for so long, finally saw the dawn again!

Realizing this, grateful eyes filled with anticipation began to gather on Leo Ray.

"Lord, the breeding ground has been completely wiped clean."

Immediately, Scarlett and Gideon Black reappeared in front of Leo Ray.

"Very good," nodding slightly, Leo Ray took a step forward then recalled the Magic Cannons and Earth Guardians at the entrance of the breeding ground into his bag.

Then, leaving the cheering crowd, following Donna's guidance, he headed straight for the nearby Redarrow City Lord's Mansion.

After a thorough search, besides some common supplies and more than 50,000 Gold Dragons, no other gains were found.

"Donna, come with me separately," He gestured.

Nodding to the Female Mercenary Captain, surrounded by his subordinates, Leo Ray took her to a secluded room.

What came next was the most critical aspect the submission process.

"Since this place is already under the management of this Female Mercenary Captain.

Thus, making her my direct subordinate is undoubtedly a matter of urgency.

Only then can I remotely manage this place."

With this in mind, a thoughtful expression crossed Leo Ray's face, "Currently, this Female Mercenary Captain is at the peak of Tier Two."

"On me, there are only three un-upgraded Tier 2 Recruitment Orders. It seems that just like yesterday, I will have to upgrade and use them now."

Immediately after, without any hesitation, Leo Ray began to upgrade one of them.

[Congratulations, your 'Tier 2 Recruitment Order' has upgraded to 'Tier 2 Recruitment Order' 102 units!]

Upon hearing the prompt, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows.

Then, he and his subordinates dispelled the illusory transformation on themselves, appearing before Donna in their true forms.

Next, as per convention, after Leo Ray laid all his cards on the table, it didn't take much time.

Donna, deeply shocked, fell on her knees before Leo Ray, deeply bowing her head: "I, Donna Maidie, pledge my undying loyalty to the Lord!"

"Begin signing the contract." Nodding slightly, a brand new Tier 2 Recruitment Order then appeared in Leo Ray's hand.

A moment later, the familiar notification sound rang in his ears again.

[Congratulations, Tier 2 Nine-Star Wind Swordsman, Donna Maidie, has signed the Master-Servant Contract and has become your new subordinate!]

Hearing this, Leo Ray helped her up while opening her attribute sheet.

[Name: Donna]

[Occupation: Wind Swordsman]

[Tier: Tier 2 Nine-Star]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skill One: Swift Wind Triple Strike 'Active' (Physical Single Target Attack)]

[Skill Two: Swift Wind Flash 'Active' (Physical Single Target Attack, Additional Armor Penetration)]

[Skill Three: One-Handed Sword Mastery 'Passive' (Slightly increase damage when using one-handed swords)]

Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction, stirring his mind.

One Rose Gathering Energy Pill, one storage ring, one set of brand new Tier 3 leather armor and a Tier 3 longsword, fifty Qi Condensing Pills, fifty Tier 1 Magic Medicines, fifty Tier 2 Magic Medicines, and fifty offensive Tier 3 Magic Potion Scrolls – Dark Light Burst all appeared on the table beside him.

At the same time, a total of ten boxes, containing ten thousand Gold Dragons, were neatly lined up next to it.

For a moment, the room was filled with brilliant colors and aromatic fragrances.

Staring slack-jawed, Donna couldn't believe her eyes as her long eyelashes flickered.

She had never seen such a dazzling scene, even in her dreams!

Next, after introducing all these priceless items one by one.

Leo Ray smiled and said, "You should absorb that Rose Gathering Energy Pill later, consider it a welcome gift from me.

It is enough to break through the shackles and directly reach the third tier, having been stuck at the peak of the second tier for a while.

Of course, there's also the set of Tier 3 equipment and the storage ring.

The fifty Qi Condensing Pills are for your team members to use, to quickly reach the peak of the second tier, becoming the backbone to help you manage this place.

When the time comes, I will consider promoting them to Tier 3 powerhouses based on their performance.

The remaining healing magic medicines, Tier 3 attack scrolls, and the hundred thousand Gold Dragons, are naturally for the defense of Redarrow City, and for hiring other mercenaries."

"Yes, Lord!" Hearing this, Donna's evenly proportioned body trembled slightly, she was so excited she could hardly speak, and could only bow her head deeply to Leo Ray again.

Without a doubt, she could work for thousands of years without eating or drinking, and still might not be able to afford all these items!

"Get up." Leo Ray smiled slightly and said, "In a while, we will head to Pinehaven City and meet that Marquis Rocky who dominates everything.

I'll leave everything about Redarrow City entirely in your hands.

Remember, we are still one of the powers under the command of one of the other two princes this time.

Only in this way can we divert the Great Prince's attention to the other two princes."

"Yes, Lord, I understand! Rest assured!" Donna nodded heavily, responding with a serious face.

"Also, there is only one task for Redarrow City during this period, and that is to rebuild the town.

You must distribute sufficient food and other living materials to the residents every day.

The issue of garrisoning mercenaries can not be delayed either, make sure to form a mercenary team of a thousand as soon as possible."

After a slight pause, Leo Ray continued: "If there is anything, contact me through Mind Talk at any time."

"Yes, Lord!" On the other hand, Donna bowed again, accepting the command.

"Alright, if everything has been arranged, then it's time for us to set off."

Leo Ray nodded at Donna and turned to his other subordinates: "Let's go, it's time to meet that Marquis Rocky."
