Translator: 549690339
Just like that, the morning passed by in a blink of an eye.
Leo Ray, who had been immersed in the Chat Channel all this time, had a basic understanding of the current market trends and the development of some lords by constantly updating the chat con tent.
Of course, this was only what could be seen on the surface.
Without a doubt, Leo knew that there were many others like him, hiding in the shadows and quietly observing everything.
Undoubtedly, these people would be his most formidable opponents if there were any conflicts.
Thud thud thud.
As Leo thought about this, the sound of knocking on the door rang in his ears.
After upgrading to a Fourth-Class Mansion, the main door had turned into a metal material.
Thus, the muffled metallic sound was particularly reassuring. “The door’s unlocked, come in.”
Closing the chat window, Leo took a sip of water and then spoke.
The door opened gently, and Gavin Sullivan walked in respectfully with a bow, saying, “My Lord, your lunch has been prepared, consisting of delicious rice and braised meat with mushroom soup. Would you like to dine in your room or eat outside?”
Without a doubt, after the morning’s encouragement and previous stimuli, Leo seemed as imposing as Godzilla in Gavin’s eyes compared to Pikachu.
“Let’s eat outside together and see how you guys have been doing this morning. ”
Leo smiled slightly, stood up, patted Gavin’s shoulder, and then stepped out of the mansion’s main door.
Walking outside in Gavin’s company, Leo made a round around his territory.
About two-thirds of the wooden wall had been further reinforced, based on the previous development, and the speed of the construction was quite impressive.
It was clear that under the attraction of the Qi Condensing Pill, the work efficiency of these Tier 1 subordinates had been pushed to the extreme, almost on par with a piling machine.
“Well done, Gavin.”
Satisfied with the progress, Leo nodded and praised Gavin a few more words before arriving at the small gate on the western side of the territory and continuing to observe.
This key defense position was manned by three Earth Guardians and two Half-elf Archers stationed in the watchtower.
Outside the gate was a large expanse of lush green plants similar to foxtail grass.
At that moment, a gentle breeze swept across, the grass that resembled a soft green carpet rippled slightly.
At the same time, the scent of nature entered Leo’s nostrils.
Inhaling the fragrance of the plants coming toward him, he felt invigorated and continued to gaze outward.
The back half of the grassland consisted of several winding paths left by wild beasts and demon beasts in the dense forest.
Looking left and right, Leo couldn’t help but ponder over the naturally formed small open area in front of him.
“It seems like the defense here is somewhat weak.”
Subconsciously stroking his chin, Leo furrowed his brows slightly.
Initially, he thought that since the Demonic Shadow Forest was acting as a natural barrier, the current defense measures were more than enough to deal with any threats.
Moreover, with Tier 3 Fire Mage Scarlett present, there was no need to worry about the fire hazards.
However, if a group of wild beasts launched a small-scale group charge from this position, they could easily break through the barrier and infiltrate the territory in an instant.
“Gavin, go call the other team captains over.”
While Leo was deep in thought, he waved at the middle-aged man in front of him.
A moment later, as the four Tier 1 team captains hurriedly arrived, Leo laid out his concerns.
“You’re right, Lord. How can we further reinforce our territory’s defense?”
On the other side, after hearing Leo’s words, Gavin scratched his head in confusion.
“It’s simple, there are three steps in total.”
At this moment, Leo, who had already made up his mind, first ordered the three Earth Guardians standing nearby to stand guard near the grass outside.
Then, with a few others, he walked out of the small gate.
“First, dig a trench outside the perimeter wall, and pile the excavated soil directly between the trench and the wall to further reinforce it, creating an innermost buffering zone.”
As Leo leisurely walked along the grass, he drew a long boundary line with his hand.
“Secondly, set up a large number of abatis outside the trench, serving as a second buffering zone.”
Upon saying this, Leo paused, turned to Gavin and the others, and said, “Making these spiked abatis of wood should be quite easy for you hunters, right?”
“My Lord, just watch, this is our specialty!”
Facing Leo, Gavin and the other captains grinned confidently.
“Very good. I’m looking forward to your performance.”
Nodding slightly, Leo walked a few more steps forward, stood beside an Earth Guardian, and continued, “As for the last step, it’s also your forte. Set up numerous concealed traps in the outermost area, making it the third buffering zone.”
“Lord, you’re wise!
With these three buffering zones, it will be difficult for the surrounding demon beasts or even a well-organized army to break through our defense!”
Listening to this, Gavin and the others looked as if they suddenly understood, their expressions brimming with excitement.
Raising his hand to signal quiet, a solemn expression crossed Leo’s face, “But this goes to show the importance of this task further. I hope you all won’t let me down and make sure that it’s completed quickly.”
“Yes, sir!” On the other side, Gavin and the four captains saluted Leo and responded simultaneously.
After spending a few days together, they had already roughly understood the temperament of their Lord.
Without a doubt, although Lord appeared gentle and gave people a refreshing feeling ordinarily, he would never tolerate any sand in his eyes when it came to work.
Therefore, to gain their Lord’s approval, they must strive for excellence as well.
“Alright, now that you’re all aware of your task, let’s go have lunch.”
After calling the three Earth Guardians back to the gate, Leo gave a light smile and walked towards the center of the territory with Gavin and the others..
