Upon hearing Leo Ray’s answer, the subordinates in the Lord’s Mansion furrowed their brows and couldn’t help but fall into thought again.

A moment later, Serena Clark blinked her bright eyes, stood up, and performed a courtesy.

Then, she spoke with some confusion, “My Lord, as per your instructions, we purchased supplies this afternoon, and also collected some information in town. We learned that the war between the two countries has been going on for a long time.”

After a pause, with Leo Ray’s signal, Serena stepped forward slightly and continued with a bright and crisp voice, “Though both sides have had several large-scale battles at the border, neither has been able to completely defeat the other due to their similar strengths, resulting in the current stalemate.”

As Serena reached this point, her identical sister, Stella Clark, couldn’t help but stand up as well.

With a much softer and more melodious voice, she asked, “In that case, my

Lord, what should we do to take advantage of this power, the Saint Night

Army, to restrain the Coldflame Army?”

Concerning the stalemate between the two countries at the border, I have also heard about it, and the second part of this plan is based on that.”

Signaling Serena and Stella to sit back down, Leo Ray continued, “Having been at war for a long time, both armies are now exhausted, and neither has the power to utterly eliminate the other. So, our task is undoubtedly straightforward: to be the final straw that breaks the Coldflame Army and help the Saint Night Army achieve victory in the war.”

“So that’s how it is, my Lord is wise!”

On the other side, Gunner Santons’ old voice rang out once again in the spacious reception hall, “As long as we help the Saint Night Army take the initiative in the Border Battlefield, the Coldflame Kingdom will have to send reinforcements to the border, otherwise, if the Saint Night Army advances, the Coldflame Kingdom will lose more than just Cyan Town. Thus, I believe the nobles and royalty of the Coldflame Kingdom are well aware of the stakes.”

“So, this means our next action will be to cause trouble at the border between the two countries, right?”

A glimmer of light shone on Gideon Black’s glasses as he flexed his muscles and rubbed his hands together, “To tell you the truth, I’m most adept at stirring up trouble and sowing discord.”

“Is this guy really a Priest?”

Shaking his head helplessly, Leo Ray took a deep breath and continued, “Now, let me arrange the deployment for our next actions.”

“Firstly, Taylor, Gideon, Serena, Stella, and Scarlett will accompany me to the border.”

As he said this, Leo Ray nodded to the five powerful Tier 3 and above individuals.

“Next, the task of staying behind and managing the territory will still be handled by Belinda Wright and the other four team captains.”

At this point, Leo Ray turned towards the elegant Half-Elf Ranger, Belinda Wright, and said, “Belinda, you’ll be in charge of defending the territory along with the others, and the plan to establish a training ground can be put on hold for now.”

Nodding towards Belinda, Leo Ray continued, “Starting tomorrow, work with Gavin and the others to complete the three buffer zones around the wooden wall that I’ve assigned.”

“Yes, my Lord!” On the other side, Belinda and the four Tier 1 team captains saluted in unison.

From the look of determination on the faces of the five, not only the four captains who had been appointed on the first day but even Belinda, who carried a Tier 4 Moonwhite Shortbow, clearly now considered themselves to be a part of the territory.

“Finally, as for the old clan leader’s side, don’t let up on the tasks of making leather armor and longbows, and training the reserve team. Keep up with the crop planting work as well, the reserve team must be ready to fight at any time in case of emergencies.”

Leo Ray gave a slight nod and walked to the window near the door, perfectly catching sight of a patrolling Earth Guardian squad outside through the [Blessing of the Southern Cross Star] night vision ability.

My Lord, rest assured, just leave it to this old man.”

Following this, Gunner Santons’ aged voice resonated once more.

“Alright, if there are no objections, let’s end tonight’s meeting here.”

As Leo Ray opened the door to the Lord’s Mansion, a cool night breeze blew in. He stepped out and waved for everyone to join him outside while using his mind to summon dozens of sacks and boxes to appear at the entrance of the Lord’s Mansion.

Pointing at the neatly arranged supplies on the ground, Leo Ray continued, “These are the items we purchased this afternoon. Organize everyone to collect them, and temporarily store the surplus in the storage room.”

“Yes, my Lord! Thank you!”

On the other side, the ten subordinates simultaneously placed their hands on their chests and spoke in unison.

Soon, the entrance of the Lord’s Mansion became bustling, and even the ordinary Tier 1 subordinates and Half-Elves received a good amount of clothing and daily necessities. As smiles spread across their faces, the respect in their eyes when looking at Leo Ray increased, and they bowed their heads in gratitude.

Shortly after, a notification sound continuously rang in Leo Ray’s ears.

[Congratulations, your subordinate Tier 1 Two-star Hunter Gavin Sullivan develops an undying admiration for you, raising their loyalty to 100 points, and decides to swear unwavering loyalty to you!]

[Congratulations, your subordinate Tier 1 Two-star Hunter Ronan Quilliam develops an undying admiration for you, raising their loyalty to 100 points, and decides to swear unwavering loyalty to you!]

[Congratulations, your subordinate Tier 1 Two-star Farmer Logan Hansen develops an undying admiration for you, raising their loyalty to 100 points, and decides to swear unwavering loyalty to you!]

[Congratulations, your subordinate…]

Seeing the loyalty of all 80 Tier 1 subordinates rise to 100 points, reaching the full point state of unwavering loyalty, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction as their efficiency would no doubt be significantly improved as a result.

Then, another notification sounded.

[Congratulations, the Moonwhite Tribe feels your warmth, and the subordination level is raised by 3 points, now at 82 points.]

“So, the overall subordination level has been forcefully increased by 3 points again? If converted to loyalty, these Half-Elves must also be quite high, right?”

As Leo Ray pondered this with a mixture of amusement, the notification sounded for the third time..
