Chapter 1200: Chapter 723: Inside Vilun City_2 Chapter 1200: Chapter 723: Inside Vilun City_2 “Your Highness, I will never forget your great kindness!”
Hearing Ariel’s words, Keller was already too excited to control himself, and he bowed his head deeply again.
Perhaps this was the true quality and deanor a real leader should have? Serving under such a master would be such a fortunate thing, wouldn’t it?
“Now, let’s get back to business. The traditional nobles in this area have already lost. My soldiers will soon be at your city gates. I’m sure you’ve heard the news, haven’t you?”
Just as Keller was still excited, Ariel’s expression turned serious, and she continued, “The main reason we ca here is not to see Vilun City end up like those stubborn cities, destroyed completely. You understand what I an, don’t you?”
“Your Highness’ great kindness saves my life and family from fire and water, how could I repay kindness with enmity?”
Without any hesitation, Keller replied solemnly, “The Defense Army Corps under my command here is willing to pledge loyalty to Your Highness! The other three reserve corps in the city are also under my command now, and they will not defy Your Highness either! I will open the city gates imdiately and prepare to welco Your Highness’ soldiers into the city!”
“Very well, let’s proceed with that.”
Leo Ray took over the conversation and nodded to Jasper Richardson standing beside him.
Following Leo Ray’s instruction, Jasper waved his hand, and the soldiers who were immobilized around them returned to normal.
As a space magician, this was Jasper’s specialty, spatial imprisonnt. As long as he was willing, all low-level targets within hundreds of ters would be unable to move.
Regaining their freedom, those soldiers around them knelt down one by one, swearing their loyalty.
After that, without any effort, Leo Ray turned Keller, a Tier 3, 5-star swordsman, into his main subordinate.
The specific attributes were as follows:
[Na: Keller]
[Occupation: Swordsman]
[Tier: Tier 3, 5-star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill One: Thunderbolt Stab ‘Active’ (Physical single-target attack, piercing effect)]
[Skill Two: Lightning Slash ‘Active’ (Physical single-target attack)]
[Skill Three: One-handed Sword Mastery ‘Passive’ (Significantly increases damage when using a one-handed sword)]
After obtaining Keller’s allegiance and asking so questions, Leo Ray had learned that,
Eager to show his rit, Baldwin took away all his loyal subordinates and capable generals when he left, leaving only a small number of guards stationed in the City Lord Mansion. The city’s periter defense line was then completely handed over to Keller.
Furthermore, apart from so of Baldwin’s family mbers, most of the other officials in the city were left behind.
“Keller, the task of capturing Baldwin’s remnants is up to you. Don’t let any of these parasites escape.”
In a hidden room, after casually giving Keller a set of Tier 4 equipnt and a storage ring, Leo Ray instructed, “As for the city officials, aside from Baldwin’s loyalists and those closely related, everyone else will be reinstated as officials in the na of the princess. The new city lord I have appointed is also on his way.”
Leo Ray didn’t replace all the officials in order to quickly stabilize the city and establish prestige among this part of the managent class and win people’s hearts.
After all, having just taken control of so many new territories, Leo Ray, who had just arrived, did not have such a deep reserve of talent.
As for other matters, including the selection and deploynt of city managent personnel and the removal of so insignificant remnants of the forr city lord, it would be left to the new city lord to take full responsibility. Naturally, Leo Ray couldn’t focus all his energy on every city and town.
“As for the new city lord, I have already made up my mind. It will be Xenia Blackwood’s father, Moody Moon.”
“At that ti, although Moody Moon was nearly killed by the surprise attack of several rebellious elders, I arrived in ti and treated him. After a period of recuperation with healing magic potions, his health is now almost restored.””From what I understand, as a neutral noble, Moody Moon has always had a good reputation. Under his rule, Milan Town has been prosperous and peaceful, making him an ideal candidate. After all, one of the main industries in Vilun City, like Milan Town, is agriculture.”
As Leo Ray thought about this, he nodded thoughtfully.
Before long, a well-disciplined cavalry unit entered the gates of Vilun City.
This was the Milan Town Cavalry Corps, led by Xenia Blackwood’s father, the forr City Lord Moody Moon, and the Cavalry Commander of Milan Town, Brando, under Leo Ray’s command.
When Xenia and Bella White had led the troops to aid Cyan Town, Leo Ray specifically left this highly mobile cavalry unit behind for this very purpose.
“Although this is a cavalry corps of only a thousand n, Keller has already beco my direct subordinate, and with Moody Moon and Brando, two Tier 3 powerhouses, they are more than capable of stabilizing this city quickly.”
“Greetings, Lord!”
In no ti, the heavily armored Moody Moon and Brando appeared before Leo Ray.
“Old City Lord, long ti no see, how are your injuries?”
As he signaled the two to stand, Leo Ray asked with a smile.
“My Lord, I have already recovered almost completely, and there are no major issues.”
With gratitude and excitent on his resolute face, Moody Moon quickly responded.
At this mont, Moody Moon’s mind was filled with countless thoughts.
Back then, if it wasn’t for the Lord’s appearance, he and Xenia would have been brutally murdered, and Milan Town would inevitably have joined the ranks of the traditional nobles.
By then, the situation of the free farrs who had enjoyed a peaceful and happy life would naturally be self-evident.
It was precisely because of the tily treatnt of the Lord and the subsequent supply of magic dicine that Moody Moon was able to recover so quickly.
And now, the Lord had entrusted him with the managent of such an important city, which was an incredible honor and glory that brought unprecedented prominence to his family!
These three great favors combined, even if he were to lay down his life, he would never be able to fully repay them!
What Moody Moon didn’t expect was that the Lord had actually defeated a combined army of 150,000 from the traditional and new noble forces, which was simply unbelievable!
To serve under such a great figure would undoubtedly witness the advent of a new era!
With great excitent in his heart, Moody Moon saluted Leo Ray and said, “My Lord, in addition to the cavalry corps, I have also brought a group of competent Milan Town officials to help manage the city. Please rest assured, I will restore the normal operation of Vilun City in the shortest ti possible!”
“Very good, I leave it to you.”
Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction, first gave Moody Moon and Brando each a set of Tier 4 equipnt and a storage ring, and then introduced Keller, who had been waiting on the side, to the two of them.
Once the three got acquainted, Leo Ray didn’t stay any longer and led the strong n away from Vilun City.
Just as Leo Ray arrived at the outskirts of Vilun City, two new battle reports ca in succession.
First, after annihilating the traditional nobles’ rearguard legions and remnants, Burt and his n continued south and captured Zem Town.
Second, after taking Liuxi Fortress, Joshua swiftly captured the Giant Rock City, another important stronghold of the traditional nobles next door.
By now, more than half of the traditional nobles’ twelve cities had been captured, following Pinehaven City, Liuxi Fortress, Pentium City, and Vilun City.
“Now that more than half of the traditional nobles’ cities have been taken, it’s ti to pay so attention to the territories of the new aristocracy.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray smiled and disappeared on the spot under the effect of Jasper Richardson’s teleportation magic.
