Chapter 466 Banquet Night (Part 1)
Looking at Fenli and Zhuqi who were so surprised that their jaws were dislocated, Chaoyan and Zhusha smiled at each other and did not answer directly.
They just looked at Lei Xiao who stood calmly with reverence. At this point, the answer was self-evident.
"No, you are indeed the lord!"
While being shocked in their hearts, Fenli and Zhuqi were stunned to find out.
Beside the Lord, not only are two powerful fifth-level men standing, but not far away there are also three miraculous buildings that are the crystallization of the highest wisdom!
Next to the miraculous building, there are eighteen ice crystal knights exuding great momentum. Under the light of the three miraculous buildings, they reflect the crystal clear brilliance!
"Such a dreamlike scene, I didn't expect it to actually exist in reality..."
At this moment, Finley and Zhuqi were extremely shocked.
Even in the so-called all-encompassing Magic Tower, they had never seen such a shocking scene!
As for the other members of the Magic Squadron, their breathing became rapid while their hearts were surging and excited.
They had never even dreamed of being able to see everything shocking around them at such a close distance!
For a moment, eyes of uncontrollable admiration were cast towards Lei Xiao.
Noticing the loyalty reminders that were constantly refreshing in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled and waved his hand, 200 third-level [Sticks of Truth] that had just been upgraded not long ago, and 200 sets that had been upgraded from the Winged Human Clan enchantment. The third-level robe named [Sky Robe] appeared in front of everyone.
Under the eyes of shock, when Lei Xiao announced that he would give the 200 sets of shining third-level equipment in front of him to each member of the two magician squadrons.
Needless to say, these newly arrived elite magicians were pleasantly surprised, and their loyalty was no surprise. They were all fixed at full positions.
Then, Lei Xiao arranged the residences of the two magician squadrons in the fortresses on the north and south walls.
Before this, Lei Xiao had already prepared a large number of beds, weapon racks, wardrobes and other necessary furniture in various idle fortresses in advance.
Moreover, a large number of daily necessities are stored in various warehouses located in the four corners of the territory, which are managed by the farmer squadron. As long as Lei Xiao agrees, they can be registered and used out of the warehouse.
In addition, old housekeeper Ward and others have also set up corresponding sewage treatment magic arrays in these fortresses.
Therefore, it is naturally not a problem for these new subordinates to move in with their bags.
After placing everything, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Under the dark blue moonlit night, the slightly cool night breeze blew through, and the aroma of salt-and-pepper barbecue and rich cheese was already spreading throughout the territory.
I saw Lei Xiao sniffing the intoxicating aroma of the food, then waved his hand and smiled calmly at the subordinates: "The banquet should begin. I believe that all kinds of royal-level delicacies are cooked with the most high-end ingredients. It will definitely bring you a wonderful night.”
"My subordinates are looking forward to it very much, thank you Lord!"
Whether it was the newly joined soldiers from the seven squadrons or the subordinates from other territories, they all bowed in unison and spoke in unison excitedly.
After that, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, walked towards the large kitchen and five newly built canteens in the southeast corner of the territory.
Feeling the increasingly rich aroma of food in the air, Lei Xiao first came to the door of the large kitchen.
In the windows of the large kitchen, firelight flickered and heat rose. From time to time, we could see the figures of third-level chefs wearing white chef uniforms and chef hats, busying back and forth.
There was a constant flow of fragrant food, and under the leadership and coordination of several third-level maids, it was brought out by other soldiers helping the kitchen, and it looked orderly.
As for the banquet venue, Lei Xiao did not use the five separate large dining halls. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to move all the long dining tables, wooden chairs and tableware outdoors, and arranged a large number of light crystal stones around them. , making the entire venue look brightly lit.
Since there were close to two elite squadrons of soldiers, they were still patrolling at open and hidden sentries scattered throughout the territory, waiting for the rotation of other soldiers.
Therefore, each large dining hall can easily accommodate 200 people. The tableware, tables and chairs provided, plus spare ones, are naturally enough for the remaining subordinates.
"For your information, Lord, the first round of food, including the food reserved for the soldiers on duty, has been prepared!"
I saw the head chef Rudy walking over happily, taking off his chef hat and saluting Lei Xiao.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work this time."
Lei Xiao gently patted Rudy's broad shoulder and responded with satisfaction.
"Lord, where are you from? You can cook so many rare and expensive top-quality ingredients into delicious delicacies with your own hands. It's too late for me to be happy!"
Rudy quickly waved his hand and bowed to Lei Xiao excitedly: "Thank you, Lord, for giving me this precious cooking opportunity!"
Wait until Rudy happily resigned.
Ward, the old butler in charge of the venue, took another step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and said: "Your Majesty, all the meals have been served."
"The utensils used for the main meals are all used exclusively by nobles and wealthy businessmen. The magic dinner plates have built-in insulation and freshness-preserving functions. As long as a trace of magic is injected into them, they can automatically keep them warm and fresh for several hours."
After a pause, Ward added: "So, Lord, please don't worry about the soldiers on duty not being able to eat hot meals."
"It's very good. When I go shopping in the future, I can buy more of these plates. There is no need to worry about the price."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, looked at the long dining tables filled with various delicacies, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, let the banquet officially begin."
"As you command, Lord."
Ward continued to bow and responded respectfully.
Under the guidance of the third-level old butler, Lei Xiao first sat at the top of the long dining table at the front of the venue.
The rest of the main subordinates and leaders from various places also sat down one after another, either sitting under Lei Xiao, or scattered at other tables around him.
Under the leadership of the commanders, the elite soldiers of the remaining thirteen squadrons also entered the venue in an orderly manner and arranged neatly in front of their respective dining tables.
After everyone had entered the venue, Lei Xiao took the glass of champagne respectfully handed over by the old butler Ward and took a deep breath slowly.
Following a surge of energy, a pair of lavender magic wings quickly condensed into shape from Lei Xiao's back.
As his wings flapped, Lei Xiao, who was holding a champagne glass in his hand, slowly rose into the sky and looked down at everyone present.
"Tonight, I am very happy to be able to gather here with you all to share this sumptuous feast. Before the banquet officially begins, as your host, I would like to offer you three glasses of wine."
When Lei Xiao, who was floating smoothly in the air, said this, the thousands of subordinates in the audience immediately raised the wine glasses in their right hands and listened with excitement.
Looking at the excited expressions of all the subordinates, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, also raised the tulip-shaped goblet with amber liquid in his hand, and continued: "First glass of wine, Jing will still be faithful to every place, and in the future. Colleagues who can be present, it is their hard work that makes this territory in the forest safer and more peaceful!”
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao looked up and drank the champagne in the glass.
In addition to the subordinates who are standing guard in the territory, the werewolf station in the eastern area of the territory, and the half-elf barrier in the southern area of the territory.
There are still five second-level elite squadrons that are not in place. Naturally, they are the two great swordsman squadrons and the magician squadron stationed in Kongqing Town, as well as the two shadow squadrons that have been scattered throughout the eastern region of Lengyan.
"To my colleagues, I wish them courage and a triumphant return!"
All the subordinates at the bottom raised their wine glasses and said in unison.
Then, all the subordinates also drank the wine, with awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.
Looking at the neat and uniform scene in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly with emotion.
You must know that these strong men and elite soldiers in front of you are all your subordinates.
With them always guarding you, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, you will have the courage to continue moving forward and be unswerving.
Just as Lei Xiao was sighing with emotion, the old butler Ward, who was holding a wine bottle, rose into the air, respectfully filled the empty glass in Lei Xiao's hand, and then landed again.
"This second glass of wine is for everyone in the territory."
Lei Xiao raised the goblet again and sighed loudly: "It is because of your existence that this place is called the territory. It is also because of your existence that I can be fearless and dare to face the front." All the thorns!”
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao tilted the wine glass in his hand, and a warm current poured down his throat.
"My subordinates are willing to die for the lord, are willing to open up territories for the lord, and are willing to fight bloody battles for the lord until the last moment!"
The subordinates also drank the second glass of wine without any hesitation, with unswerving eyes.
Not long after, Lei Xiao looked at the refilled goblet in his hand. His eyes slowly moved and began to scan over each of his subordinates, finally landing on the junction of the forest and the sky in the distance.
Under the starry sky, although it is dark and full of unknowns and dangers, is it not waiting for the dawn to pierce the darkness?
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze, his dark eyes shining brightly: "This third glass of wine is a toast to our future! Disaster is coming, and the night is long. May you and I be the first ray of light before dawn, and contribute to this land. The land brings light, brings hope! ”
Having said this, Lei Xiao raised his head and raised his glass, drinking it all once again.
"To the future! To the dawn! To our lord!"
The faces of the subordinates were already covered with enthusiasm. They drank all the wine in the cup and exhaled happily.
"The banquet has officially begun. Let's relax and enjoy the food."
As the lavender magic wings vibrated, Lei Xiao landed smoothly and returned to his seat.
With Lei Xiao's words, tonight's grand dinner officially kicked off.
For a time, there was an endless stream of singing and laughing, the sound of clinking tableware, and the sound of pushing cups and changing glasses, making the entire territory immediately become lively.
Just as he sat down at the top of the long dining table, Lei Xiao noticed.
Sitting around this dining table, which was almost overflowing with food, were a group of main and subordinate people.
I saw Hong Ye, Chao Yan and Bai Wei standing in a row, their starry eyes flashing, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Huzhang, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Xue Ya and others also had expressions of anticipation on their faces.
However, since Lei Xiao had not yet started to move the knife and fork, the subordinates still maintained their sitting postures.
"Let's get started while the food has just come out of the pan."
Looking at the eager look of the trio of foodies, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, then grabbed the knife and fork on the table and began to cut into the steak that was still sizzling with hot oil in front of him.
At this point, the other main subordinates all made the same move and started to move.
Smelling the scorched aroma that hit him, Lei Xiao cut off a large piece of meat steak in front of him, raised the fork in his hand slightly, put it into his mouth, and started chewing.
A stream of rich and fragrant meat juice burst out in Lei Xiao's mouth.
The steak in your mouth is extremely tender and soft, almost melting directly on the tip of your tongue without losing the texture of the steak itself.
And you can clearly taste that the rich fat aroma of the meat itself is only supplemented by the salty taste of salt.
Such a simple seasoning created fierce sparks in his mouth, like a prairie fire, making every hair on Lei Xiao's body stand on end.
Such a gourmet experience can undoubtedly only be described as wonderful.
After feeling satisfied, Lei Xiao cut off another large piece of meat steak on the plate in front of him and put it into his mouth again.
"Lord, this is the violent fourth-level monster unique to remote and extremely cold places, the Silver Emperor Snow Ox, the most delicate part of the waist and back."
The old voice sounded, and Ward, who was standing by, bowed slightly and introduced: "This monster will only come out to look for food after the first snowstorm every year, and it will come out before the second snowstorm. It is extremely rare to return to the nest and enter a state of hibernation and meditation.”
"In addition, the Silver Emperor Snow Ox possesses the powerful strength of a fourth-level ice magician and a hard skin comparable to a fourth-level heavy armor. Even if an ordinary strong person encounters it by chance, he will avoid it."
The old butler with a clean white cloth on his arm continued: "Therefore, the value will naturally increase. Even ordinary nobles may not be able to take a bite in a few years."
"It's interesting."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then noticed it quite amusingly.
The three foodies not far away were so delicious that they were in tears, and they were happily eating their food.
Looking at the three imposing foodies, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then turned his attention to the exquisitely arranged fried fish nuggets on the other side.
Smelling the aroma of fried fish, Lei Xiao forked the fish piece, dipped it in the sauce on the side, and put it into his mouth.
Just when Lei Xiao was chewing tentatively to see if there were any fish bones in it.
The smell of the sea, like a stormy sea, instantly flooded into Lei Xiao's mind.
The ultimate taste is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the boneless and delicious fish meat, combined with the sweet and sour secret sauce, are like a perfect trio that plays perfectly in the mouth.
It wasn't until he had eaten it all that Lei Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, but the fragrance still lingered on his teeth and cheeks, making people feel lingering.
"Lord, when it comes to this fish, it can only be described as extraordinary..."
The old butler Ward bowed again, and while taking away the empty plate that Lei Xiao had finished, he began to introduce it again. (End of chapter)
