Chapter 690: Chapter 469: Appointment of the Territory_1
In the spacious and quiet Lord’s Mansion’s hall, Leo Ray sat on the metal throne, his eyes as bright as torches.
Looking at his subordinates below, he said solemnly, “First of all, I officially appoint Roger Smith, the Heavy Guard Squadron Leader, as the supreme commander of all elite squads within the territory.”
As he said this, Leo Ray nodded at the middle-aged commander with white hair at his temples and determined expression on his face.
He continued, “Your main responsibilities are to be in charge of the territory defense, drafting training plans, wartime command and dispatch, and post-war battlefield cleanup, etc.”
“Yes! I will devote my life to serving the Lord and will not rest even in death!”
Upon hearing this, the crisp sound of armor collision rang out as Roger, clad in black heavy armor, stepped forward and lowered his head deeply to Leo Ray.
“Stand up. I hope that under your leadership, this territory will become invincible and well-organized.”
With a slight wave of his hand, indicating for Roger to stand, Leo Ray’s gaze slowly moved.
It then landed on the delicate figure of a female half-elf in exquisite leather armor, and he said seriously, “As for the deputy commander of the territory, it will still be held by Belinda Wright, the Half-Elf Archer Squadron Leader.”
Nodding slightly to the fair-faced Belinda, Leo Ray continued, “I hope you can utilize the forest battle expertise of the half-elves to make this territory even more impregnable.”
“Yes! I will do my best to fulfill the trust of the Lord!”
Cold-faced and with long hair draped over her shoulders, Belinda stepped out from the commander lineup and knelt on one knee.
“Stand up. When I’m not here, the safety of the territory will be in your hands.”
Gazing at the determination in Belinda’s clear apricot eyes on her delicate face, Leo Ray nodded satisfactorily.
As the two returned to their positions, Leo Ray nodded slightly, his gaze moving again as he said, “Next is the appointment of the logistics commander of the territory.”
At this point, Leo Ray’s stern gaze finally fell on the old steward’s straight figure and said, “Warren Dexter, they say an army moves on its stomach, so I entrust this important task to you. Do not disappoint my expectations.”
“Yes, my Lord! I will serve you to my dying breath!”
On the other side, the old steward’s elderly face was also full of solemnity as he performed a standard kneeling and hand-on-chest salute to Leo Ray.
“No need for more formalities.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray addressed Head Chef Rudy Blues and Farmer Squad Commander Gavin Sullivan, “As for the deputy commanders of logistics, the two of you will serve. Make sure the soldiers in the territory are well-fed and well-clothed.”
Afterward, Leo Ray pondered a bit and added, “In addition, starting today, the Farmer Squad will be officially under the jurisdiction of the logistics department, mainly responsible for warehouse management and kitchen support in the territory.”
“Yes! Please rest assured, Lord!”
Upon hearing this, Rudy and Gavin stepped forward together, their faces full of sternness as they bowed their heads deeply in unison.
“Very good.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray took a sip of the freshly brewed fragrant tea and gently sipped it.
Next, he held the steaming, exquisite white porcelain cup and said, “Other than that, the work of the two Mage Squads will be a bit more specialized.”
He motioned for Daisy Zuman and Finley to step forward, and continued, “Your main responsibilities are the daily maintenance of the three Miracle Buildings, recharging and replacing the depleted Demon Energy Luminous Crystals, and staffing the Illusory Vision Tower.”
“Yes, my Lord! Please rest assured!”
Hearing this, the two colorfully-robed Mage Squad commanders bowed in unison.
It was evident at this time that both were excited to work with the Miracle Buildings, which were considered the crystallization of the highest level of wisdom – something they had been dreaming of!
“Warren Dexter, after the meeting is over, take Daisy and Finley with you to get familiar with these procedures,”
After pausing for a moment, Leo Ray added.
“Yes, my Lord,”
The old steward’s voice rang out, respectfully responding.
“Oh, there’s one more thing,”
Immediately after, Leo Ray seemed to remember something.
Addressing the two of them again, he said, “I’ll set up the Magic Cannons on the city wall’s artillery platform in a moment, and I’ll also hand over the maintenance and management of the Magic Cannons to the Mage Squads.”
“Please rest assured, my Lord! This is what we are most skilled at!”
On the other side, Daisy Zuman, her fair face adorned with a few freckles, and Finley hurriedly bowed again, replying in unison.
“Alright, now it’s time to assign today’s work.”
Setting down the white porcelain cup in his hand, Leo Ray’s gaze returned to his subordinates and said, “The main tasks within the territory are twofold.
First, expand the originally 3-meter x 3-meter wall’s outer trench to at least 10 meters wide and 5 meters deep, in preparation for the upcoming Protective City River, which will be the responsibility of the elite squads within the territory.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Upon hearing this, Roger Smith and Belinda Wright, the top deputy commanders, bowed simultaneously and responded in unison.
Nodding to the two of them, Leo Ray looked at Old Steward Warren Dexter and said, “Secondly, we need to build five additional large half-elf arch stone houses to serve as new dining halls. This task, of course, falls to the logistics department.”
As he finished speaking, Leo Ray mentally summoned the five construction blueprints that had already been prepared, which appeared in his palm.
