Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

For a moment, the various chat channels, which were usually only frequented by a few night owls, instantly became incredibly lively and started to scroll frenetically.

“Holy shit, Master Leo has already captured a city? I was just practicing my swordsmanship and was suddenly blown away!”

“To the person above, brave up, don’t be afraid of difficulties!”

“The gap is huge! While I’m still organizing farmers to fight against nearby Frost Sheep and Four-Horned Bulls, Master Leo is already commanding a large army to conquer cities and territories!”

“We both had nine years of compulsory education, why is Master Leo Ray so excellent? I’m starting to suspect that I’m the odd one out!”

‘Master Leo, you’re amazing! 666, my love! (blows kiss)”

“Congratulations from Leo-Ray’s Number One Fan Club!”

“Congratulations from Leo-Ray’s Number Eight Fan Club!”

“Am I dreaming? During the day, I command ten farming aunties to work, and I’m just so tired, I think I should go to sleep…”

“Sleep your ass off, get up, and party!

Glancing at the chat channel, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile helplessly. Then, his face turned serious again.

Without a doubt, now that they had just captured Cyan Town, a lot of work needed to be done. It seemed that tonight would indeed be quite busy.

Not long after, Linda and Mason Banks, who had completed their respective tasks, hurried over with nearly a hundred guards from Sanders’ Trading Conference.

At the same time, there was also a middle-aged man wearing Tier 2-light armor and several defense army commanders wearing standard Tier 2 armors.

Immediately, when the crowd saw the unrecognizable city lord lying on the ground and Spencer Thorne’s corpse not far away, they all couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

They never expected the once powerful and ruling figure of Cyan Town to end up in such a terrible state.

Subsequently, everyone’s gaze turned towards Leo Ray, who was sitting on the throne.

Standing by Leo Ray’s side were Taylor, Gideon Black, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and Scarlett. At this moment, none of them concealed their aura, causing waves of surging momentum to ripple back and forth in the grand hall.

“It’s actually a Tier 5 powerhouse…”

When Rhizoma Drynariae and others sensed the overwhelming aura emanating from Tier, almost making the surrounding space tremble, they instinctively swallowed saliva and felt their hands and feet inexplicably turning cold.

The pressure of a Tier 5 powerhouse was truly terrifying, like a mountain crushing down.

“Lord, this is the commander of the defense army, Rhizoma Drynariae,” Linda stepped forward and introduced Leo Ray respectfully, as she sat on the throne. She continued, “The others are the head and deputy heads of the two defense army corps.”

“Gree… Greetings, Lord.” The middle-aged man named Rhizoma Drynariae hurriedly saluted with four others.

After speaking, everyone looked up at Leo Ray, surprised to find that this lord from the Otherworld was so young.

“Perhaps, this is what it truly means to be young and promising?” Similar thoughts emerged in the hearts of Rhizoma Drynariae and others.

“No need to be polite, please stand up.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly, walked down the throne, and strolled towards the crowd.

Now, Leo Ray was well aware that these defense army commanders hadn’t sworn allegiance to him yet. Since they had already shown them their strength, it was time to act.And so, it was time for the second step of combining grace and authority.

Approaching the front, Leo Ray’s mind moved, and a whole row of large wooden boxes appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

Without waiting for Rhizoma Drynariae and the others to react, a shining golden light immediately filled their vision.

Looking closely, each wooden box was filled with glittering gold coins, reflecting a dazzling brilliance throughout the hall and rendering people almost speechless.

“Everyone, there are a total of 200,000 Gold Dragons here.”

With a faint smile, Leo Ray said: “These Gold Dragons are to be considered as a welcome gift tor the 2,000 city guards under your command.”

At this moment, looking at the five stunned commanders in front of him, Leo Ray continued: “Please convey to the soldiers that if they are willing to continue their loyalty to me, I will raise their treatment to the highest level throughout the Coldflame Kingdom.”

“If they are unwilling, I won’t force them and they can be dismissed on the spot. ”

At this point, Leo Ray’s voice became a little heavier as he added: “But remember, as my soldiers, you must become the shield to protect civilians, not the sword that hurts them. If anyone violates this rule, regardless of their rank, I will punish them without mercy.”

Hearing this, Rhizoma Drynariae and the other commanders exchanged glances, their hearts filled with various emotions.

200,000 Gold Dragons, if distributed to every soldier, would equal 100 per person.

But the salary of a junior soldier, under the oppression of the previous City Lord, was only 5 Gold Dragons.

Therefore, this is equivalent to almost two years of their salary, clearly showing that the current Lord is indeed extraordinarily generous!

More importantly, it was the Lord’s final remark.

“To become a shield to protect civilians, instead of a sword to hurt them? It’s a familiar saying, my earliest Lord, the old city lord, also once said that…”

With this thought, Rhizoma Drynariae, who was a Tier 3 Two-Star Guardian Warrior, did not hesitate and kneeled directly in front of Leo Ray, burying his head and swearing: “Subordinate Rhizoma Drynariae pledges loyalty to Lord!”

At the same time, the four Tier 2 Peak Level commanders of the Defense Army also knelt down one after another, obviously also touched by Leo Ray’s generosity and his final remark.

After helping them up one by one, Leo Ray casually waved his hand, and five sets of Tier 3 Black Kylin Light Armor and Tier 3 Sword Saint’s Training Swords, which were upgraded from the Half-Orc Corps and Border Battlefields, appeared in front of the five people.

“These five sets of Tier 3 Equipment are my gift for our first meeting. As long as you work hard, there will be more and more rewards like this in the future.” After patting their shoulders one by one, Leo Ray said meaningfully.

“Thank you very much, Lord!”

On the other side, looking at the Tier 3 Weapons and Armor that were full of exotic colors in front of them, the five people’s faces couldn’t help but reveal a look of ecstasy, and they lowered their heads once again in deep gratitude to Leo Ray.

There is no doubt that even with their salary, it would take at least a dozen years of saving without spending a penny to be able to afford such luxurious equipment!

And the Tier 2 Equipment they were wearing had been subsidized only by a third from the previous City Lord, demonstrating the clear gap.

“Alright, you can go now. I’ll give you one night to mobilize, and you can report the results to me tomorrow morning.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray waved his hand and returned to his throne.

Without a doubt, the value of those 200,000 Gold Dragons was equivalent to 20 sets of Tier 3 Equipment, plus the gifts to Rhizoma Drynariae and others, totaling 30 sets.

For Leo Ray, who still had more than 2,000 sets of Tier 3 Equipment, this was just a drop in the bucket.

Trading these trivial items for the loyalty of 2,000 Defense Army soldiers was simply a bargain.

“When there are enough Recruitment Orders, I will change Rhizoma Drynariae and the other commanders of the Defense Army to subordinates.”

As Leo Ray thought about this, Mason Banks, who was guarding and cleaning the battlefield outside the Trading Conference, reappeared at the entrance of the hall and saluted Leo Ray, saying: “Lord, we have found the former City

Lord’s Treasure Vault!”
