After that, Leo Ray left the main battlefield, which was nearing its end, with his subordinates.
Next, the group first came to the forest beside the narrow entrance from before, and collected all the hidden magic arrows there.
After a brief inspection, Leo Ray found that there were a total of 600 magic arrows, among which 300 were armor-piercing arrows and 300 were ice arrows.
The former had a far greater penetration power than ordinary arrows, while the latter could produce a freezing effect after hitting the enemy, slowing them down.
Most importantly, all these arrows could be upgraded using their talents.
“With these enchanted arrows, the overall strength of the half-elf archers can be raised to a new level! As for the upgrading, let’s wait until we return to the territory.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray had everyone collect over a hundred undamaged Tier 1 longbows and leather armors nearby, before leaving the place.
Then, under Leo Ray’s guidance, the group continued to collect some Tier 1 weapons and a few Tier 2 weapons in the surrounding area.
These included 200 Tier 1 longswords, battle axes, greatswords, and long spears each, and 20 Tier 2 longswords, battle axes, greatswords, and long spears each.
As for other weapons and armors, due to the intense battle, most were more or less damaged and couldn’t be upgraded.
Furthermore, the previous half-orc troops had already contributed a significant amount of light and heavy armors: about 50,000 to 60,000 Tier 1 sets, and 500 to 600 Tier 3 sets. At this stage, it was more than enough and there was no need to take any further risks.
After everything was done, the sky was almost dusk.
Under Leo Ray’s guidance, everyone came to a secluded mountain stream.
Suddenly, with a thought, a palm-sized blue crystal appeared in his hand.
An odd energy was flowing inside the crystal, and a cool sensation radiated from it.
Without a doubt, this was a Returning Crystal.
“It’s the perfect opportunity to try out the Returning Crystal.”
With that thought, Leo Ray nodded to everyone, and crushed the blue crystal in his hand with a slight force.
In an instant, the strange energy inside the crystal burst out, enveloping all six of them.
As time went by, the blue strange energy covering them became denser and darker in color.
Finally, when the one-minute waiting time had passed without any issues, Leo Ray, who was almost entirely covered in blue, saw a flash of white light.
When his vision cleared, he found that he and his five subordinates had returned to the entrance of their Lord’s Mansion tens of kilometers away.
“I have to say, the Returning Crystal is quite amazing. It can indeed save a lot of time and trouble.”
Feeling astonished, Leo Ray looked at the familiar surroundings and rallied his spirits. He then said to the five subordinates beside him, “Alright, everyone has worked hard. Rest for a short while as later on, we will have to go to Cyan Town again. Tonight will be a sleepless night.”
Without a doubt, since they had already dealt with Coldflame’s reinforcements on the battlefield, they should naturally focus on eliminating the threat of the Lord of Cyan Town and his forces next.
“Understood, Lord!”On the other side, everyone saluted in unison and said in chorus.
After everyone left, Leo Ray didn’t immediately return to the mansion to rest. Instead, he followed the sound of digging and walked straight to the edge of the camp.
He planned to first check the situation of the buffer zone’s construction for the whole day. After all, this territory was the foundation of his own career.
Arriving at the main entrance of the camp, Leo Ray took a simple tour and noticed.
With the help of 100 half-elves like Belinda Wright, the progress of 80 farmers and hunters led by Gavin Sullivan made another qualitative leap.
Outside the wooden fence, a 3×3 meter gigantic trench seemed to have already taken shape.
A large amount of compacted soil, between the wooden fence and the trench, had formed a solid earth wall relying on the fence, giving the wooden fence an epic reinforcement.
“Lord, you’re back!”
Seeing Leo Ray approaching, Gavin Sullivan, who was wielding a large pickaxe, and Belinda Wright, who was holding a shovel, put down their tools and rushed over with a small run.
“You two have worked hard. The trenches have been dug almost completely, right?” Leo Ray asked, nodding slightly, looking at the somewhat tired duo.
“Thanks to Lord’s grace, with the help of Belinda and other half-elves, our work has made leaps and bounds!”
Gavin Sullivan, covered in mud, wiped the sweat from his face and replied with a grin.
Checking the status bar, Leo Ray found that after taking the Qi Condensing Pill, Gavin had gone from a Tier 1 Two-Star Hunter to a Tier 1 Five-Star Hunter.
“Uncle Gavin is too kind. Without your full support and guidance, we wouldn’t have been able to dig so fast.”
Due to fatigue, a faint blush appeared on Belinda’s pretty face.
She gently brushed her messy hair from her forehead while smiling in response.
Her big eyes blinked at Leo Ray, just like a kitten waiting for its master’s praise.
At this moment, she wasn’t wearing her leather armor. Her single-layered clothes, soaked in sweat, clung to her fair skin, perfectly displaying her slender and graceful figure, making Leo Ray momentarily dazzled.
Leo Ray then noticed that the momentum emanating from the half-elf girl was a lot stronger than before.
After a quick check, she had indeed reached Tier 2 Nine-Star.
And in this group of 100 half-elves, the number of Tier 2 powerhouses had increased from 10 to 50.
It seemed that the 40 Qi Condensing Pills from yesterday had not been wasted at all, further elevating the overall strength of the half-elf team to a new level.
Undoubtedly, after the daytime battlefield trip, Leo Ray clearly understood.
The destructive power of an archer team with 50 Tier 2 powerhouses was already quite considerable.
“Very good, it’s getting late. Let’s prepare for dinner soon.”
After lightly patting both their shoulders, Leo Ray smiled and turned away, walking straight back to the Lord’s Mansion.
First, he drank a big cup of sweet stream water, and after a brief rest.
His face couldn’t help but show a bit of excitement.
This time, not only did he perfectly achieve his goal, but he also obtained a large number of spoils of war.
Next, it was time for him to get excited and upgrade once again!
