Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2214: 1233: The Truth Behind the Mysterious Grand Mission

Chapter 2214: Chapter 1233: The Truth Behind the Mysterious Grand Mission

Upon entering the interior of the city, a tremendously wide street unfolded before Leo Ray’s eyes.

Everywhere was inlaid with the resplendent Light Crystal Stones, and the well-paved roads were made of gray marble, flanked by a dense array of blacksmith shops, taverns, healing centers, and various kinds of stores.

If not for the roof and the cliff walls on both sides, it would be indistinguishable from a large metropolis.

Through Grey Elder’s introduction, Leo Ray further learned.

This city is called Pioneer City, fully equipped with defense facilities, and has fifty thousand elite mercenaries stationed.

Apart from the usual facilities found in any city, it also boasts comprehensive mercenary training institutions and various special training establishments, such as blacksmiths, magic craftsmen, etc.

As for the city’s residents, besides the Defense Army, there are also many mercenaries’ families and veteran mercenaries retired from the battlefield.

Surrounding the city are numerous fortresses and subordinate cities under various guilds’ control, and given its location deep in the mountains, it is practically impregnable.

“Truly deserving of the Mercenary Guild, judging by its scale, it is not at all inferior to the main Temple of Light.”

As Leo Ray gazed at the array of shops around, he accepted the salutations from passersby and exclaimed, “Everywhere is filled with a reassuring atmosphere of everyday life.”

“Your Highness is too kind. This is the Outer City of Pioneer City, the area where ordinary residents live, hence lacking many magic traps and other battle facilities, making it seem more lively.”

Grey Elder stroked his beard with a smile and continued, “Pioneer City boasts rich industries, with enough farmland around, and the city itself is abundant in water resources. It also has a comprehensive sewage filtration magic array and exhaust magic array, making it self-sufficient.”

Under Grey Elder’s introduction, Leo Ray and his entourage passed through bustling streets and orderly residential areas, eventually reaching the city’s central region.

Here lies a series of well-organized training and barracks areas, with numerous arrow towers and other defense measures. From the atmosphere, it is evidently more solemn than the Outer City earlier, but the area seems no smaller than the Outer City inhabited by many residents.

“Your Highness, this is the training area I mentioned earlier, where not only the top mercenaries selected from various places can further their skills, but young aspirants to becoming mercenaries can also be nurtured. Of course, this includes not only those responsible for combat but talents in economy, business, archaeology, and other fields as well.”

Grey Elder revealed a touch of pride in his words, nodding as he said, “This is why the Mercenary Guild has consistently produced talents year after year, standing firmly above the Seven Human Nations, making small contributions to the protection of the Human Clan.”

“The old guild master is too modest. The Mercenary Guild’s role is far more than a small contribution. Whether it’s guarding, searching for items, or hunting demon beasts, such tasks are irreplaceable by the ordinary Defense Army, undoubtedly providing an unignorable function in maintaining the Human World’s order.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, smiling at Grey Elder, “Furthermore, with the establishment of the Lord’s Network, the commercial landscape of the Human World will undergo drastic changes, which will inevitably impact the existing mercenary framework.”

“However, the new changes will also bring new opportunities. I hope the Mercenary Guild can work together with the local Defense Armies to maintain the safety of each lord’s nodes and surrounding routes to ensure smooth communication of the Lord’s Network.”

Leo Ray’s dark eyes sparkled as he added, “Moreover, as I step out of the Outer Region, there will undoubtedly be many matters requiring the assistance of the Mercenary Guild. After all, compared to soldiers focused on battlefields, be it relic exploration or venturing into secret realms, mercenaries are more adept.”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for considering the Mercenary Guild. We will fully support Your Highness, please rest assured.”

Grey Elder spoke with a solemn expression to Leo Ray.

After Grey Elder spoke, the other high-ranking members of the Mercenary Guild present, including Diana, also nodded in agreement, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

“Then I shall rely on all of you.”

Leo Ray nodded satisfactorily and continued to delve into the depths of Pioneer City under the guidance of Grey Elder and the others.

In the central region’s middle position, the group descended through a grand staircase, heading directly towards the lower part of Pioneer City.

Just like the main Temple of Light, the Underground City is the most core and confidential area of the entire city.

After passing through the staircase area, what first caught Leo Ray’s eye was an extremely spacious corridor.

Here, the decor was elegant, and the walls on both sides were lined with various demon beasts’ heads as decorations, including not only common lower-tier demon beasts but also rare ones like unicorns.

At the turn of the corridor, Leo Ray even saw the massive head of a Green Dragon, causing Red Night to frown beside him.

Additionally, the corridor was inlaid with many transparent display cases, showcasing whole specimens of demon beasts and their bones, resembling a demon beast museum.

Through Grey Elder’s introduction, Leo Ray learned.

The demon beast specimens displayed here were all hunted by legendary mercenaries over generations, and being able to display the demon beasts they hunted here is the greatest honor for any mercenary.
