With that, accompanied by a gust of wind, they arrived.
In no time, the dusty group led by Leo Ray appeared in the conference hall of Cyan Town's Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, besides Taylor, Gideon, Scarlett, Bianca, Abigail, and Amelia, six people were present.
There were also the petite and delicate Serena and Linda, as well as Mason Banks, respectfully standing at the lower end of the hall.
As for Stella, who was not present, Leo Ray learned after asking that,
The taciturn twin sister was secretly guarding a cold-blooded unexpected guest in the dungeon.
"My Lord, since the news has been timely blocked, Princess Ariel and her entourage haven't noticed anything unusual," Linda said, taking a step forward and bowing respectfully.
"My Lord, even though Cyan Town has implemented strict entry and exit inspection measures,
But for these Tier 3 and above experts who are good at lurking,
The effect is still minimal. Therefore, I think,
Apart from the Barrier of Eye of Insight set up within the range of the Lord's Mansion,
The defenses should be further strengthened at all key locations in the surrounding area,
Using a combination of visible and invisible guard posts, deploying defensive forces as the first solid line of defense for the outer region."
"Linda, I'll leave this to you, just do your best."
After nodding slightly, Leo Ray furrowed his brows again and asked, "Did we learn anything about the identity of the intruder?"
"My Lord, the man was tight-lipped. He has remained silent since he was captured and tried to commit suicide many times, but I have stopped him from doing so," Linda replied, exchanging a helpless look with Serena.
"My Lord, perhaps I have some methods," Gideon said, stepping forward and bowing slightly.
Gideon then gracefully pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and the metal skull necklace on his chest reflected a harsh cold light.
"Go ahead, use any means necessary as long as you can obtain some useful information."
Hearing this, Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, signaling Gideon to start immediately.
Without a doubt, as a Dark Priest adept in spirit attacks, Gideon is skilled in dealing with stubborn opponents like the infiltrator.
"Yes, my Lord, rest assured." Bowing once more towards Leo Ray, Gideon left the hall under the guidance of Linda and Serena.
After the three of them had left, Leo Ray pondered for a moment,
He then asked the elderly blacksmith in brocade robe, "Mr. Mason Banks, how is the preparation for forging equipment going?"
"My Lord, all the materials for forging the Bright Silver Luminous Armor have been assembled, and I am now in the process of forging. In addition, using the resources of the Lord's Mansion, I have also obtained a blueprint for a new Tier 3 weapon, the Fine Steel Horse Piercing Spear."
At this point, most of the materials have been gathered, leaving only the most critical component – the fine steel ingot, which I was fortunate enough to find. It is mainly produced by the Dwarf Clan, and although its quantity is small, it should be no problem to forge two or three spears."
"Fine steel ingot?" Leo Ray's eyes lit up at this.
At the moment, to continue upgrading the Lord's Mansion,
The most crucial resource is the Tier 3 rare resource, the fine steel ingot.
To obtain this rare resource, Leo Ray had disassembled all Tier 3 metal equipment in his possession, but to no avail.
"I had intended to ask Mason Banks about the fine steel ingots later, but I didn't expect things to have progressed this far!"
Realizing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction and said, "Mr. Mason Banks, as soon as the materials for forging the Fine Steel Horse Piercing Spear are ready, be sure to forge a few as quickly as possible."
This is one of the most important things we need to do now, and it must be given top priority."
"Yes, my Lord, rest assured." Mason Banks bowed once more with a solemn face.
After a short discussion with Mason Banks,
The doors at the end of the hall reopened,
And Gideon, Linda, along with Serena and Stella, appeared before Leo Ray once more.At this moment, it was quite evident.
Gideon Black's mouth still had a hint of a joyful smile, as if he had just attended a grand event.
"My Lord, everything has been thoroughly investigated," he said, offering an elegant bow and then reported, "This man is from Pinehaven City and is the captain of Marquis Rocky's spy team.
There are a total of three main objectives.
First, to spy on the new Lord of Cyan City, which is you, my Lord.
Second, to spy on the current situation of Princess Ariel.
And third, to ascertain the defensive strength and the number of powerful individuals in Cyan Town."
"I didn't expect that I would rank first in the important tasks."
Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered to himself, "It turns out that this man is actually the enemy of Joshua, and Marquis Rocky's confidant.
This is indeed a bit surprising. I haven't even started to act, but this guy has already come to Cyan Town with malicious intent."
"My Lord, Marquis Rocky is one of the Great Prince's loyal lapdogs, so I'm afraid that this matter is also related to the Great Prince.
Perhaps, this Great Prince is the real mastermind behind the scenes," Linda said after a brief thought.
"That makes sense."
Leo Ray nodded slightly with his eyebrows furrowed and thought to himself, "Originally, I thought the reach from the Royal Capital would only be extended after a while.
For now, it seems, that apart from the other two princes, I have to deal with the trouble from the Great Prince's faction."
On the other side, Gideon Black hesitated for a moment, exchanging glances with Linda and others who had just returned with him.
After a moment of hesitation, he reported again, "My Lord, there's one more thing. According to this man, following Marquis Rocky's orders, he could have killed you directly if you were confirmed to be an Otherworldly Lord… "
Gideon quickly added, "However, please rest assured, my Lord, this man can no longer pose any threat to you."
"Well done. They don't have the ability to kill me yet."
Leo Ray stood up from his throne and began walking towards his subordinates, saying, "In any case, from the current situation, we can conclude that the reach of the Great Prince's faction has already extended here at least.
Therefore, we have to be fully prepared at all times for the impending war."
At this moment, Leo Ray, who had already walked to the side of his subordinates, spoke with a solemn expression.
He first commanded Linda, "Regarding the reinforcement of Cyan Town's city defense, including the fortification of the walls and the excavation of trenches, the progress must be sped up.
In addition, the recruitment of new soldiers must be carried out simultaneously."
"By your command, my Lord! Don't worry!" Linda immediately clenched her fists and responded, "Right now, Rhizoma Drynariae is supervising the reinforcement work of the city defense outside the City Lord Mansion.
I will convey all your orders to him."
"Very good." Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction, walked forward, and arrived in front of Serena and Stella. He continued, "Thanks to you both this time.
If you encounter such a situation again, be sure to report to me as soon as possible."
Pausing, he mentally summoned a dazzling short sword and a metallic crossbow, which appeared out of thin air.
Then he handed the items to Serena and Stella. These two weapons were the Tier 5 Wind God's Blade and Wind God's Crossbow, which were upgraded in the Winged People's Barrier Region.
Looking at the sisters' shocked and delighted expressions, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, "Keep up the good work. I entrust the safety of the City Lord Mansion to you."
"By your command, my Lord!" The clear voices of the two identical twins sounded, and they immediately knelt down on one knee, bowing their heads deeply to Leo Ray.
"Alright, it's time for us to take action." Leo Ray nodded slightly, turned around and said to Taylor, Gideon Black, and others, "Let's go! Our target is Redarrow City!"
