Chapter 962: Chapter 603: Rendell’s Loyalty_2
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 2 Recruitnt Order’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 4 Recruitnt Order’!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 2 Recruitnt Order’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 3 Recruitnt Order’!]
Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Leo Ray was overjoyed, thinking, “This is great! I got one Tier 4 Recruitnt Order, three Tier 3 Recruitnt Orders, and one hundred Tier 2 Recruitnt Orders.”
“That ans my goal has been perfectly achieved!”
With that thought, Leo Ray signaled to Ariel Watson and explained everything.
On the other side, with her lips slightly parted, Ariel relayed all the information about Leo Ray’s identity as an Otherworldly Lord, the impending catastrophe, and his small goal of unifying Coldfla.
As he listened, the expression on Randell’s face went from confusion and disbelief to shock, then finally settled on admiration as he gazed intently at Leo Ray.
He had not expected that the person coming to save him would be such an important and respectable figure.
This could be inferred from the fact that the young Lord had repelled the invading Saint Night Army, rescued the Mountain Fortress guards, and the nurous people on the verge of being overwheld.
Moreover, the Lord was making preparations for the unknown invasion and the impending disaster, trying to protect as many people as possible!
There was no doubt that not even a king could accomplish these feats!
With this in mind, the emotional rcenary leader did not hesitate to kneel on one knee, bowing to Leo Ray and pledging, “I, Randell Steelblade, pledge my loyalty to you, my Lord, and am willing to die for your cause!”
“With a rare and talented person like you by my side, I’m sure my path will beco a bit smoother,” Leo Ray said with satisfaction as he nodded and produced the Tier 4 Recruitnt Order, which emitted a faint golden glow and began the contract process with Randell.
It only took a mont for the familiar prompt to sound in Leo Ray’s ear.
[Congratulations, Tier 4 Nine-Star Magic Knight ‘tal’ Randell Steelblade has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and beco your new subordinate!]
Upon hearing the prompt and helping Randell up, Leo Ray, following his usual routine, opened the man’s Attribute Column.
[Na: Randell]
[Occupation: Magic Knight ‘tal’]
[Level: Tier 4 Nine-Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill One: Giant Sword Dance ‘Active’ (Gold attribute magic group attack, with armor break effect)]
[Skill Two: Giant Spear Thrust ‘Active’ (Gold attribute magic group attack, with piercing effect)]
[Skill Three: Mounted Chant ‘Passive’ (When casting and releasing spells on horse-like mounts, hit rate and casting speed do not decrease)]
[Skill Four: Gold Attribute Magic Mastery ‘Passive’ (Significantly increases damage when using gold attribute magic)]
“A Magic Knight, huh? That’s a whole new occupation.”
Looking at the text on the Attribute Column, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
The Magic Knight is a rare occupation capable of maintaining focus while casting spells even at high speeds on a mount.
After all, in the chaotic battlefield, three-tiered and above Magic powerhouses could fly low to cast spells, but they would easily beco targets for enemy archers.
However, Magic Knights could maintain high-speed movent while possessing the destructive power of a mage, making them invaluable on the battlefield.
Furthermore, Magic Knights could circumvent the issue of being unable to move while casting powerful large-scale spells, allowing them to strike enemies when they least expect it.
Of course, due to their focus on horsemanship, Magic Knights typically progressed slower in their training compared to ordinary mages, which was regarded as their weakness.
But once off their mounts, there would be no difference between Magic Knights and regular mages.
“All in all, with the addition of this Tier 4 Nine-Star powerhouse to my team, my overall strength will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!”
“Most importantly, I have gained another valuable administrator!”Thinking of this, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction.
Just like when he recruited the two Independent Knight Commanders, his thoughts were the sa.
At present, what his territory was most lacking were talented administrators who could manage a region.
It could be imagined that after attacking and capturing an enemy city, and eliminating the managent core of the enemy forces –
how to efficiently and orderly take over everything, and quickly stabilize the city in both military and political aspects, making everything back on track, was undoubtedly a critical issue.
Otherwise, even if his side captured the city, it would still be taken advantage of by the opponent during unstable tis, leading to a fire in the backyard, and even losing control.
After all, reality is different from a ga, and it is not just about arranging a few civil and military officials and resting easy; it was much more complex.
“At this stage, under my command, I have people with rich managent experience like Rose Marquis, Asher Porter, Hode, Berne, Adam, Tran, and Xenia Blackwood.”
“Adding the newly-recruited Tina, Layne, and Randell, under the condition that one person manages two or three nearby cities, it should be able to temporarily stabilize the entire Coldfla Eastern Region.”
“In the process, my subordinates will cultivate suitable talents for higher managent positions, which will naturally make truly worry-free.”
“That is to say, even if a large-scale war breaks out in the next few days, I won’t be caught off guard. What I need to consider next is how to defeat the combined forces of the Great Prince and the Second Prince in the Eastern Region, with a total of nearly 150,000 troops.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s gaze turned solemn, and he took a deep breath.
Just as when he was in Blue Cold Fortress and analyzed with Rose Marquis –
His own forces were too scattered, not only far less in number than the opponent but also unable to make large-scale mobilization without being detected by the opponent.
It should be known that the opponent’s nearly 150,000 troops were at least equivalent to 15 Tier 5 powerhouses.
“Forget it, let soldiers co to block, water cos to cover, since my action plan has been decided, I should focus on the task at hand.”
Regaining his spirits, Leo Ray started a simple conversation with Randell.
In the process, looking at the other’s eager yet embarrassed eyes, Leo Ray took out another box of exquisite food and a large bottle of fresh orange juice.
Through further understanding, Leo Ray learned that:
Originally, Randell’s family, like Mason Banks, was also a noble family in the Loren Kingdom.
However, Randell’s family territory was in the vicinity of Pinehaven City now.
As early as the ti when the Alliance Army besieged the Loren Royal City, it had been captured.
Fortunately, most of the family mbers and retainers survived.
At present, the other three Tier 4 Level elderly Great Mages in the Dragon Tooth rcenary Corps were descendants of Randell’s family retainers and remained loyal.
“I see.”
Looking at Randell, who was gulping down the orange juice and devouring another box of food, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
Then, after Randell finished drinking a large bottle of orange juice with a satisfactory expression and once again bowed to Leo Ray,
Leo Ray spoke of his purpose for this visit.
“Understood, Lord, let your subordinate help you with all his might.”
After Randell finished speaking, a set of deep blue magic robes emitting a strange luster and a gray tal short magic wand instantly ard him fully.
However, the still shabby appearance with a full beard and greasy corners of his mouth made it difficult to connect him with a wise and powerful Great Mage.
Seeing this scene, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
“I’m sorry, Lord, your subordinate will go and wash up quickly!”
Realizing that he looked sowhat out of place as well, Randell also smiled awkwardly.
“Leave your magic wand and robes behind, and go quickly.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, “Let’s go see where the ‘Skull-Crushing Madman’ has disappeared to.”
