Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 2202: Chapter 1227: Combining Benevolence and Authority (Part 2)

Therefore, to completely control the Orchid Federation in the most convenient way, I still need an auxiliary key of power to unlock the hearts of these generals, and Seveil is undoubtedly the best choice.

Secondly, facing the impending Great Catastrophe and the plan to lead the Human Clan into the Outer Region, the more elite soldiers at my command, the better. Even a slight increase in strength might become an essential weight on the scale of victory.

What’s more, I suspect that the territorial battles with other foreign lords are not far off.

With this in mind, just like I have always done, if I could turn these forces that have not been corrupted by darkness to my use, it would undoubtedly be a highly beneficial move, both controllable and practical.

“Currently, I have not acquired the method for a Tier 5 Recruitment Order, so directly reclaiming Seveil is obviously impossible. Therefore, adopting this method of combining grace and intimidation is the best choice.”

As he thought of this, Leo Ray shifted his gaze, looking towards the other generals of the Orchid Federation.

As expected, every one of them wore a look of gratitude and respect, all turning their gaze towards him.

“Phil, Mr. Seveil, I leave the Orchid Federation to you, and I will bring the three major neutral organizations to offer you all the assistance you need.”

Leo Ray nodded to the two in front of him and said with a smile, “At the same time, I will order the Saint Night Kingdom to lift all control measures, allowing goods from other nations to be transported smoothly to the Orchid Federation.”

“Thank you very much, Your Highness Prince!”

Hearing this, not only Phil and Seveil but even the other generals of the Orchid Federation were filled with gratitude, once again kneeling on the ground in unison.

It should be known that the reason why the Orchid Federation has been at war with the Saint Night Kingdom for decades is that the Saint Night Kingdom used its geographical advantage to control all trade routes of the Orchid Federation with other nations, extracting high taxes from them.

After all, the Orchid Federation is located on the easternmost edge of the Human World, only bordering the Saint Night Kingdom, and has often been restricted by the latter, leading to severe shortages of various materials, while local specialty products could not earn Gold Dragons.

Because of this, the Orchid Federation had to seek passage through the Saint Night Kingdom and form an alliance army with them.

And now, if trade can be restored, the importance to the Orchid Federation is self-evident!

“Please rise, this is just a temporary measure in the short term. Once my new trading method is fully implemented, you will be able to experience goods and delicacies from all over the Human World anytime and anywhere.”

Leo Ray raised his hand slightly, smiling broadly.

As for the new trading method Leo Ray mentioned, it is naturally the lord’s network.

Currently, under the day and night efforts of Quinn Serena and other lords, all the territories’ lord networks within the Coldflame Kingdom are fully operational, needless to say.

And the construction work for the lord networks in the Verdant Kingdom, Grim Kingdom, Ironhand Archipelago, and Saint Night Kingdom is also underway.

This undoubtedly means that, with the expansion of Leo Ray’s power, connecting the entire Human World is within reach. This will be a critical step for Leo Ray in leading a comprehensive reform of the Human World.

Afterward, Leo Ray instructed everyone on other details, including the construction of the lord network, and as usual, he bestowed some invaluable equipment and magic medicine.

In this process, particularly for Phil, a direct subordinate, just like Eckhart initially, Leo Ray specially granted him two Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet Black Guardians and a wealth of resources to secure his position.

Amidst the joyful voices of thanks from everyone, Leo Ray took Phil and Seveil back to the Mountain Fortress once more.

Within the dungeon of the fortress, another Tier 5 Powerhouse from the Orchid Federation was imprisoned, none other than the Council Guard Captain Vanluntin, whom Leo Ray had already had Little Jie check to ensure he was not surrounded by the Black Fog.

The most crucial point is that Leo Ray had also thoroughly understood this person.

Although his temperament is fiery, he is upright and has not committed any misdeeds, much like Seveil, and has made significant contributions to the Orchid Federation’s successes.

Such talents, if they could be used, Leo Ray naturally would not let slip through his fingers.

“Chairman?!”

Deep in the fortified dungeon, seeing Seveil appear here with Leo Ray, Vanluntin’s face was full of astonishment, almost unable to believe his eyes, he pointed at Leo Ray, asking, “How could you be with him?”

“Do not be impudent before His Highness! I am no longer the chairman, do you know the magnitude of the mistakes we have made?”

Sounding much like a subordinate, Seveil huffed coldly and recounted the sequence of events.

“So we have become pawns to that evil source? What a sorrowful fate, and how absurd we have been?”

Upon hearing the truth, the middle-aged powerhouse backed up and slumped to the ground, his face full of indescribable regret.

“Vanluntin, you were once my most loyal subordinate and guardian, always diligent for the Orchid Federation.”

Seveil’s wrinkled face was full of earnestness, solemnly saying, “Now I have decided to pledge my life to serve His Highness Prince, to assist the new Chairman Phil in rebuilding the Orchid Federation. Now, His Highness is showing mercy, not only giving me a new lease on life but also not forgetting you. However, if you remain stubborn, I will send you off myself.”
