Chapter 938: Chapter 590: Layne’s Loyalty_2
At this mont, Cliver’s mouth slightly raised, forming a sinister curve.
As long as he killed the leader, it would not be a problem to force the others to submit with his noble status.
He had used this tactic successfully many tis before, just like his plan to take over the position of the Broken Blade Knights’ Captain.
However, just as the old withered man was about to lift his crossbow with a sinister smile on his face,
A golden longsword had already pierced through him from behind, causing his withered body to stiffen and beco completely motionless.
The next second, the sword was pulled out, splattering Cliver’s face with blood and leaving him instantly stunned.
This ti, the one who took action was naturally the forr Divine Servant, Leah.
“How could this be?!”
Feeling the thick sll of blood on his face, Cliver turned pale and panicked, falling to the ground.
This pampered, unruly young man, who had been indulged by his father the City Lord since childhood, had never seen such a scene before.
“Your Excellency, my family has plenty of Gold Dragons, magic equipnt, and anything you want! Just let go, and my father will give you anything you desire! My father is the City Lord!”
In his panic, Cliver repeatedly lowered his head to Leo Ray, but his tightly clenched magic wand never loosened, clearly still looking for an opportunity.
“I don’t even care about your father, let alone you.”
Glancing at Cliver, Leo Ray naturally wouldn’t continue to argue with such a worthless piece of trash. He then nodded to Leah.
Showing no rcy to the man who almost killed his attribute life, Leo Ray acted decisively.
The next mont, Leah’s sword flashed, and everything beca quiet.
“Red Night, clean up these corpses and leave no trace.”
Leo Ray turned around and nodded to the dragon girl.
“Yes, my lord,” Red Night replied, and the scorching flas rose from her palm.
On the other hand, under the powerful healing of Gideon Black and Joshua, the Tier 4 powerhouses,
All the people, including the rcenary captain who had just fainted, woke up and looked in astonishnt at the scene before them.
Even the son of the highest authority in the area was not spared, the young lord’s power was truly terrifying!
Most importantly, the young lord saved their lives with just a gesture!
At this thought, a pair of eyes filled with awe and gratitude looked towards the nonchalant Leo Ray.
“Thank you very much for saving our lives!”
An excited voice sounded, and Layne knelt before Leo Ray, saying sincerely, “If it weren’t for you arriving in ti, we six might have already perished in the wolves’ stomachs.”
Pausing for a mont, a questioning expression erged on Layne’s face as he asked, “By the way, my lord, what brought you here?”
“Of course, I ca here especially for you,” Leo Ray said with a faint smile.
After instructing Gideon Black and Joshua to continue their treatnt, and having Red Night, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark clean up the surrounding traces,
Leo Ray led the rest of his subordinates and Layne to a secluded spot near the lake at the heart of the forest.
Under the brilliant sunlight and by the rippling lake, it didn’t take long for
Layne, dressed in black armor, to once again kneel respectfully before Leo Ray, swearing, “I, Layne Rock Bow, am willing to serve my lord unto death!”
For a mont, the reflection of the young man in plain clothes and the black-armored knight in the lake enhanced the image of Leo Ray and Layne on the shore, creating a sense of epic grandeur.
“Very well, just like I promised Tina and Tia, it won’t be long before the Rock Bow Clan’s banner will rise again on the walls of Greyrock City,” Leo Ray nodded approvingly, holding a silver Tier 3 Recruitnt Order and beginning to sign the contract with Layne.
Soon, the prompt sounded in Leo Ray’s ear.
[Congratulations, Tier 3 Nine-Star Archer Knight Layne Rock Bow has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and has beco your new subordinate!]Following that, Leo Ray helped the other party up and casually opened their attribute column.
[Na: Layne]
[Occupation: Archer Knight]
[Tier: Tier 3 Nine-Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill One: Energy Concentration Snipe ‘Active’ (Powerful long-range single-target physical attack)]
[Skill Two: Piercing Rapid Shot ‘Active’ (Increases shooting speed, long-range single-target physical attack)]
[Skill Three: Bow Crossbow Mastery ‘Passive’ (Significantly increases damage when using bows and crossbows)]
“Archer Knight? It’s a completely new type of soldier.”
Closing the other party’s attribute column, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully: “Just in ti, my Half-Elf Wolf Rider Archer unit is currently being ford and is being trained by Linda. I’ll have Layne to guide them well when the ti cos.”
Having made up his mind, Leo Ray, as usual, first provided Layne with a set of Tier 4 Heavy Long Bow, Tier 4 Longsword, and Tier 4 Light Armor.
He then provided 1 Invisibility Cloak, 10 Advanced Fla Explosion Scrolls and 300 Tier 2 Healing Magic dicine for daily use by the Knights’ Corps.
As for Layne’s original equipnt, Leo Ray didn’t upgrade it for the ti being, still letting Layne wear it daily.
After all, there was only one set, and if its appearance changed after the upgrade, it would easily attract the attention of others.
“Subordinate is extrely grateful to Lord!”
After completing all of this, Layne, in his ecstasy, bowed deeply to Leo Ray once again.
“It’s no big deal.”
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Leo Ray continued to inquire about the Broken Blade Knights with Layne.
After learning more, Leo Ray found out that the Broken Blade Knights were stationed near Greyrock City, not much different from the Blue Rose Knights.
The specific troops include a Light Cavalry Brigade, an Infantry Brigade, a mixed Brigade of Archer Knights and Archers, plus an elite Tier 2 Bow Cavalry Middle Team.
As for the number of Tier 3 Powerhouses, including Layne, there were six all in important positions within the Knights’ Corps, highly loyal and mostly from Layne’s family’s forr servants.
“As for my future plans, it goes like this…”
After that, Leo Ray reiterated his plan to betray the Second Prince’s forces to Layne, just as he had previously discussed with the Tia and Tina sisters.
“Please rest assured, Lord. Once Greyrock City is empty, the subordinate has a great chance of capturing the city quickly!”
Layne’s solemn expression showed his determination as he nodded to Leo Ray.
At this point, a mix of excitent and thrill could not be suppressed on Layne’s face, as he exclaid, “Being able to reclaim the territory my family once held is like a dream co true… ”
“This is just the beginning.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, took a deep breath, and relaxed.
With this, the goal of subduing the two independent Knights Corps has been successfully completed.
This also ans that his total troop strength has increased by more than 6,000 formidable fighters.
As for the layout of betraying the Second Prince’s forces in the Eastern Region, it has been basically completed.
“What’s left now, is Dragon’s Lair, right?”
Contemplating, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
Gazing at the shimring lake next to him, Leo Ray furrowed his brow as if reminded of sothing: “Was that the youngest son of Greyrock City’s City Lord just now?”
With a slight grimace, Leo Ray continued: “Although we’ve completely eliminated any traces, would this matter alert the City Lord of Greyrock City and make him suspect the Broken Blade Knights?”
“Don’t worry, Lord, I have already planned for this matter.”
On the other hand, Layne slightly smiled, bowing in response.
