Chapter 396 Arrangements of the Shadow 2

Just like that, after inspecting five canteens in a row, Leo Ray found out.

Three of them were already available for use, and only two remained, still undergoing the final internal renovations.

"It seems that the construction of the canteens will be completed tomorrow! I must say that the facilities within the territory are becoming more and more complete."

Leo Ray, who had made a satisfying round, went towards the Guardian Defense Mechanism while connecting to Matthew and Olivia, who were rushing here from Golin City.

Finding out that the two who traveled day and night were expected to arrive in Cyan Town tomorrow morning.

After listening to Matthew's report, Leo Ray couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression and muttered to himself, "Matthew, who is at the Tier 3 level, doesn't need to be mentioned.

But after all, Olivia is currently only at the Tier 2 Nine-Star level, so it's only natural that she is slower in the reasonable range.

After all, it takes at least nearly a week for ordinary travelers to reach Cyan Town from Golin City."

With that in mind, after giving a word of caution to the two.

Leo Ray, who had already arrived at the entrance of the Guardian Defense Mechanism, closed the Mind Talk.

Next, he redeployed the Earth Guardians within the territory and removed the Demon Energy Luminous Crystal he had used today in Redarrow City.

Only then did Leo Ray head towards the direction of the Lord's Mansion.

He still had an important matter to arrange next.

"At present, the defense facilities of the territory are becoming more and more perfect, and the subduing work of Ariel Watson is also entering the final stage.

Therefore, it's time to make arrangements for the possibility of military encounters at any time."

As he thought so, Leo Ray entered the Lord's Mansion's gates.

Without any hesitation, he went straight to the throne in the hall.

He then summoned Dean and Fiona Harding, the commanders of the two Shadow Squads, and Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe who knew more about the Coldflame Region.

Undoubtedly, the most crucial part of the layout was the gathering of intelligence from different areas.

After a short while, the four of them respectfully stood at the foot of Leo Ray, bowing and saluting in unison, "Greetings, My Lord!"

"There's no need for formalities."

As he slightly nodded to them, Leo Ray first directed his gaze at Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe.

He asked, "How is the progress of the Coldflame Region knowledge dissemination work for the two Shadow Squads?"

"My Lord, Joshua Bingaman and I allocate some time after every meal to take turns in educating the two Shadow Squad's soldiers.

We have provided necessary explanations for both the customs of the Coldflame Region and the surrounding area's terrain."

Upon hearing this, Joshua Bingaman stepped forward respectfully and replied.

At the same time, Orion Wolfe also nodded.

"Very good."

After nodding slightly, Leo Ray turned his attention to Dean and Fiona Harding, both dressed in their combat uniforms, and said, "At present, the territory is becoming stable, and it's time for you to show your capabilities."

"Your subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for My Lord, and will not hesitate!"

On the other side, the faces of Dean and Fiona couldn't help but show a hint of joy, as they responded immediately.

Undoubtedly, the opportunity to perform in front of their Lord had finally arrived!

Seeing the excited look in Dean and Fiona's eyes, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Your task is only one, and that is to set up secret spy bases in various places, and with this as the center, secretly collect information from nearby areas."

As he said this, Leo Ray slightly curled his lips and continued, "Originally, I was going to start with a single Middle Team.

However, at this stage, the border area between Coldflame and Saint Night, although calm on the surface, is actually turbulent, and anything could happen at any time.

Therefore, I decided to secretly dispatch you simultaneously from the Coldflame Eastern Region and the border area in which our territory is located.

No matter what important events happen, make sure to promptly summarize and report them to me in the first instance.""Understood! Please rest assured, my Lord!" Upon hearing this, Dean and Fiona immediately bowed and spoke with serious expressions.

"Very well, in that case, Dean will be responsible for the border area, and Fiona will be responsible for the Coldflame Eastern Region." Leo Ray nodded slightly and continued.

Next, Leo Ray initiated the Mind Talk, simultaneously contacting Linda of Cyan Town, Adams of Mystara City, Matthew of Golin City, and Kelsey of Viennas City.

As well as Donna of Redarrow City near the border area and Beren of Crystal Kingdom.

Through discussion, Leo Ray decided.

Five spy bases would be temporarily established in the Coldflame Eastern Region, where the territory was located, namely Cyan Town, Mystara City, Golin City, Viennas City, and Dragon's Lair City.

As for the border area, three spy bases would be temporarily established, namely Redarrow City, Pinehaven City, and Crystal Kingdom.

Each spy base would be equipped with two to four Shadow teams to radiate to other nearby cities.

"…In all these areas where we have our own people, you must make every effort to cooperate and establish bases as soon as possible."

Then, Leo Ray's voice entered the ears of every person on the other end of the Mind Talk and the subordinates present.

"Understood! My Lord!" Upon hearing this, the subordinates at the other end of the Mind Talk and those present answered neatly.

"Very good."

With a satisfied nod, Leo Ray closed the Mind Talk and focused his gaze on Dean and Fiona, continuing, "Besides these cities,

At present, there are no forces of our own in Dragon's Lair City and Pinehaven City.

Thus, be extremely cautious when setting up bases.

Especially Pinehaven City, which is one of the places I'm most concerned about at the moment. Keep a close eye on its situation."

"Understood! We will do our best and not stop until we die!" On the other side, Dean and Fiona both made a fist salute and bowed once more.

"I look forward to your achievements." Nodding slightly, Leo Ray stood up from the throne and walked straight to the two of them.

Then, with a wave of his hand, twenty boxes of gold dragons appeared in the hall.

For a moment, the surroundings became resplendent with gold and jade.

"These are 200,000 gold dragons, which will serve as the funding for this recent period." Leo Ray smiled slightly and nodded at Dean and Fiona.

Seeing this scene, Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

After all, these gold dragons were equivalent to the total profits of an ordinary city for several years.

On the other side, as Dean and Fiona gratefully accepted the gold dragons into their storage rings,

Leo Ray opened the overview interface for the two Shadow squads' subordinates.

"At present, the only Tier Third subordinates in these two squads are Dean and Fiona.

The vice team leaders are at the Tier 2 Peak Level.

The rest are mostly between Tier 2 Five-star and Six-star, with a few between Tier 2 Seven-star and Eight-star?"

With this thought, Leo Ray handed two hundred Qi Condensing Pills and four Rose Gathering Energy Pills to Dean and Fiona.

Then he continued, "These four Rose Gathering Energy Pills will be enough for the two of you to advance further and for your vice team leaders to reach Tier Third as well.

The 200 Qi Condensing Pills will also raise the overall strength of both Shadow squads by one level.

Consider it a small gift from me before you leave."

"Many thanks, my Lord! We are willing to give our all for you!"

On the other side, Dean and Fiona were already overwhelmed with excitement and deeply bowed to Leo Ray once more.

"Alright, go back and get ready. Tomorrow morning, all members of the Shadow squads will change into civilian clothes and depart in batches."

Patted the two's shoulders, Leo Ray smiled slightly, "I look forward to your splendid achievements."

So, after Dean and Fiona left,

Leo Ray couldn't help but fall into deep thought once more.
