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

Capítulo 2271: Chapter 1262: Planning and Renewal

Of course, during the construction process, a large amount of building resources, including many rare resources, is needed, but for Leo Ray, this is obviously not a problem.

“At your command, my Lord!”

Gideon Black respectfully took the building blueprint and immediately, together with Warren Dexter, gathered other subordinates to begin their intense work.

Before long, dense construction sounds echoed continuously, and even the earth trembled slightly. The scene of one majestic city wall after another rising up was truly awe-inspiring.

Once all the building resources were deployed, Leo Ray first looked with satisfaction at the city walls gradually taking shape around him, then returned to the Lord’s Mansion to check on the production status of other building blueprints.

After constructing the city wall area, the next step is naturally to build the soldiers’ dormitories and the subsequent Magic Towers.

“For the soldiers’ quarters, I chose the ‘Advanced Guardian Barracks.’

“Compared to the ordinary ‘Guardian Barracks’ previously built, the ‘Advanced Guardian Barracks’ can also accommodate a squadron of soldiers, but the building materials have been completely changed to a more solid stone structure.”

Leo Ray stood in front of the manufacturing formation in the Lord’s Office, nodding thoughtfully.

According to the pre-determined plan, constructing 100 within the city walls, arranged in a circular formation like a second wall, would be enough to house all the new and old subordinates within the territory and members of the two subjugated tribes surrounding the territory.

Moreover, the military strength of a legion is sufficient to protect this territory’s inner court region, which had just taken shape.

A day quickly passed, and as night was about to fall, Leo Ray once again came to the lookout platform of the Illusion Tower.

Taking advantage of the last rays of the setting sun, Leo Ray looked down at the territory, seeing that the towering outer city walls and inner barracks had all been completed, making the previously desolate outer side of the territory now filled to the brim.

“Let’s call it a day for now; tomorrow we’ll work on building the Magic Tower and the kitchen area.”

Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly, watching the Shadow Lord flag fluttering on the city wall and the subordinate soldiers standing guard patrolling, nodding with satisfaction.

One couldn’t help but feel accomplished seeing the increasingly vast territory revitalized, even though having controlled the entire Human World itself.

“After summoning 2,700 subordinates today, the territory’s population has now reached ‘6695/8000’, leaving a gap of over 1,300 people. At the current rate of adding two Tier 3 squadrons per day, the population can be replenished in six days.”

Leo Ray casually opened the territory interface, and after taking a look, couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.

Though everything was proceeding methodically, hearing about the status of lords in other areas still left a sense of unease.

It’s imaginable that what he heard was just the tip of the iceberg.

In places where he couldn’t gather information, other lords may also be preparing for war or expanding their territories.

However, the journey of other lords isn’t smooth sailing either, as glimpses can be seen from the reports of people like Wite.

“This means that my decision to step into the Outer Region is crucial, and I must avoid repeating the mistakes of reckless lords that end up with losses for the Human Clan.”

“With my current strength, eliminating the Barbarians surrounding the Human Clan is not a difficult task, but the real challenge comes afterward.”

“If I choose a head-on approach, it would undoubtedly be an unwise strategy. It would not only unite smaller forces against me but potentially provoke all forces in the Outer Region, placing the Human Clan against the entire Ten Thousand Clans—all would foresee the consequence.”

“Therefore, I must find an ally to serve as a breakthrough point or entry point for advancing into the Outer Region.”

Leo Ray looked at the completely fallen night, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

This consideration had been previously entertained, and three possible choices have been outlined.

The first is to go to the Dwarf Elf Kingdom and complete Prince Vid’s commission to bring back news of the continuing presence of the Spatial Train.

The second is the Dark Elf Kingdom, where Elusa and Teresa reside.

The third is to accept the invitation to the Shadow Market and find other methods.

“From my in-depth discussions with the Dark Elf sisters, the possibility of the second option has temporarily been ruled out, and there is still no news from the Shadow Market on the third option, the invitation letter still shows no specific date.”

“And I certainly cannot wait indefinitely. In other words, my only choice left is to head to the Mist Dream Valley region, where the Dwarf Elf Kingdom is located.”

“Based on the map of the Outer Region provided by Teresa, Mist Dream Valley is situated east of the northern borders of the Pals Empire, not far behind the main Barbarian territory, and no other Foreign Race settlements are concentrated there, except for a Red Dragon residing there.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray once again furrowed his brows slightly.

According to the clues he had, the only significant Red Dragon force surrounding the Human World was almost certainly the same group that hunted Red Night’s clan.

“Even a newborn dragon is at Tier 5 level, and many powerful older dragons can even reach Tier 6, though they are indeed formidable enemies. However, with my current strength, they are not invincible.”

“So, let this be our first significant battle as we aim our sword at the Outer Region, and it’s also time to fulfill my promise to deal with this major problem for Red Night thoroughly.”

Having made up his mind, Leo Ray’s furrows unwound.

As long as the Dwarf Elf Kingdom hasn’t been destroyed by the Red Dragon, then forming an alliance with them would naturally be a smooth process.

With an ally’s support, I can not only gain deeper insight into the circumstances and situation of the Outer Region but also get introduced to some other allies by them. This would be crucial for unlocking access to the Outer Region, undeniably much stronger than blindly fumbling.

“From what I understand, the Outer Region is not a utopia either. Various big and small factions often clash over interests, leading to all sorts of disputes, some even becoming blood feuds such as the conflicts between the Elf Tribe and Dwarves, the Winged Race and Dragon Clan, as well as internal conflicts within the same power but among different subraces, such as the Dark Elf and Light Elf, Mountain Dwarf, and Pit Dwarf, etc.”

“Only by allowing the long-isolated Human Clan to integrate into the Outer Region and gain the support of some Foreign Races can we act at the right moment. The reaction from the Ten Thousand Clans would certainly be less severe.”

With everything organized in his mind, a tinge of anticipation appeared on Leo Ray’s face.

Although the Human Clan is relatively weak compared to the various clans of the Outer Region and difficult to fight against these forces head-on, opening a breakthrough point would allow the entire Human World to be significantly transformed rapidly under the influence of my Talent.

“By then, those powerful factions that once looked down upon the Human Clan might be forced to change their opinions. And I will lead the Human Clan to shatter their arrogance and prejudice.”

Leo Ray stepped out of the Illusory Vision Tower, his steps becoming more determined.

The strength of those forces standing atop the Ten Thousand Clans is undoubtedly immense, reaching unfathomable depths.

This signifies that it will surely be a path filled with the unknown and challenges, rife with danger at every step.

But with each step forward, I also move closer to discovering the Truth of this world, revealing the mysteries of the Era of Blankness and uncovering the long-sought truth.

Only by achieving this could I perfect my “Fortress,” to withstand the forthcoming tempest and protect this land and the people who support me.

In the following two days, Leo Ray stayed mostly within the territory, focusing on renovation matters.

Following the first day’s city walls and barracks, towering Magic Towers, dining areas, training grounds, and the crucial drainage system were successively completed. Even the new Tier 6 defensive barrier created by Little Jie was connected to all the Magic Towers and began operating normally.

“As for other minor buildings, such as the construction of gardens, courtyards, or the pavement of roads, I’ll leave them to Gideon Black and Warren Dexter.”

In the radiant morning light, Leo Ray stood in front of the Lord’s Mansion, nodding with satisfaction at the increasingly complete, new territory.

And today, I have a very important affair, which is my Coronation Ceremony.
