Chapter 1258: Chapter 753: The Lord’s Observations_2 Chapter 1258: Chapter 753: The Lord’s Observations_2 “That’s right, sisters, I heard that the City Lord Mansion is recruiting apprentice maids, maybe we can be lucky enough to meet Mr. Lane there!”

“Really?! I am going, I am going!”

…

Listening to this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Unknowingly, he seemed to have become an idol in many people’s hearts.

“I must say, this feeling is quite nice.”

Thinking leisurely in his heart, Leo Ray’s face turned serious again, nodding thoughtfully.

At least on the Free Farmers’ side, he no longer had to worry about anything.

“Alright, let’s go find Joshua.”

Nodding to his subordinates, Leo Ray resumed his steps and opened his mind to instruct Joshua to meet up at the designated location.

“My Lord, you have arrived!”

Soon, in a secluded location outside the Liuxi Fortress city gate, Joshua, who had been waiting there, stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Subordinate Joshua, greets My Lord!”

“No need for such courtesy.”

Leo Ray waved his hand and said to the Queen’s General in front of him, “Joshua, it seems everything is going smoothly.”

“My Lord, the Free Farmers have practically worshipped you and Princess Ariel as gods!”

Joshua first nodded excitedly, then frowned and reported, “In addition, the treasury, grains, and various rare treasures of the Liuxi Fortress City Lord Mansion are even more abundant than I imagined. Even if we distribute all these, there will still be a large surplus, which shows how much these corrupt nobles have been exploiting the common people.”

“Then what I’m doing is taking from the people and using it for the people.”

Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and smiled, “How is the recruitment of new soldiers?”

“My Lord, the progress is very smooth, even explosively so.”

Joshua saluted and replied, “Since this morning, nearly 2,000 people from the surrounding villages have successfully signed up while ensuring food production, and this number continues to increase!”

“Very good. We must carry out the training of new soldiers quickly. We don’t have much time left.”

Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction and continued, “Select those with strong bodies and vigorous strength from the new soldiers to focus on training, while the others can stay put and train slowly. Maintaining stability in the rear is also an indispensable part.”

“Don’t worry, My Lord, with the passion and perseverance of these Free Farmer recruits, I believe it won’t be long before they become a formidable force.”

Joshua nodded with full confidence, and then there was another trace of helplessness on his fair face as he continued to report, “My Lord, in sharp contrast to the bustling situation in the villages outside the city, the new citizens in the city are somewhat worrying, with most of them staying indoors.”

“Is that so?”

Leo Ray, as if he had expected this, nodded to Joshua, “Let’s go into the city together and see.”

“As you command, My Lord.”

Joshua once again bowed and began leading the way.

Under Joshua’s guidance, it didn’t take long for Leo Ray and his party to enter the city gate of Liuxi Fortress.

Looking around, Leo Ray immediately frowned.

Just as Joshua had said, on the neatly maintained, wide streets, there were only a handful of scattered pedestrians. Most of the shops were not even open for business, and the few that were had almost no customers, making the atmosphere extremely cold and desolate.

“This is almost like the city has been occupied by the Saint Night Army. It seems that the hostility from the new citizens in the city is still strong.”Leo Ray sighed helplessly before asking the Queen’s General standing beside him, “Joshua, have the news about raising benefits and reducing taxes been passed down?”

“My Lord, they have all been passed down.”

Joshua bowed respectfully and replied, “As you ordered, we have distributed the new set of subsidy regulations, fair laws, and details about the pensions for the fallen soldiers. However, the effect is still minimal, with only a small number of new citizen officials insisting on staying at their posts.”

“My Lord, in my opinion, the generous benefits that you have provided are more than enough to entice every new citizen. It is clear that the problem lies in trust.”

Joshua maintained a respectful posture and added, “Only by dispelling the concerns of the new citizens can everything proceed smoothly.”

“That’s why I brought Princess Ariel here today, as planned.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly and ordered Joshua, “Now gather all the new citizens in the city’s central plaza. The Princess’s speech will begin shortly.”

“As you command, my Lord. I have already prepared the venue, and the new citizen officials who have remained on duty are ready to gather the others.”

Joshua nodded, saluted, and said, “I will see to it.”

In no time, Ariel Watson was already standing on the specially erected speaking platform in the city center square under Joshua’s efficient arrangement.

Beside Ariel, Taylor and other core subordinates were disguised and in charge of security. With a Tier 5 powerhouse guarding Ariel, there was no need to worry about her safety.

Surrounding the speaking platform were two teams of mages casting amplification spells. With their support, Ariel’s voice would reach every corner of the city.

As for Leo Ray, he was standing in a concealed location to observe the gathering, surrounded by his trusted followers. Meanwhile, Jasper Richardson was busy setting up the spatial beacons without rest.

Seeing the increasingly crowded gathering in the square, Leo Ray could not help but be surprised.

He initially thought not many new citizens would show up, but judging by the situation, Ariel Watson, as the Fifth Princess, clearly had a stronger appeal than he had imagined.

“My Lord, it seems they are all waiting for a definitive answer,”

With her arms crossed, she raised her eyebrows and said to Leo Ray, “To see whether you are truly sincere about treating them well.”

“On the battlefield, they were used as pawns by the corrupted nobles, but what I want to do is simply help them to recognize that reality,”

Leo Ray said calmly, with an unruffled expression. “The so-called privileges and status they had above the Free Farmers were nothing more than tools to make them fight harder.”

“As for whether I am sincere, the answer is, of course, affirmative.”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and continued calmly, “Instead of manipulating them, it’s better for everyone to understand that they are fighting not only for me but also for themselves and their future. Because I have the ability to create a future that everyone desires.”

“My Lord, your words are always inspiring.”

Admiration flickered in her eyes as she spoke sincerely.

At this moment, she was filled with emotion.

Remember that it was not long ago in the Domain of Absolute Death that this otherworldly young man, to whom she had sworn loyalty, had saved her life!

With mixed emotions, she looked towards Ariel on the speaking platform in the distance and murmured, “Next, it’s time to see how Ariel performs.”

On the platform, Princess Ariel, wearing a delicate crown, gazed solemnly at the increasingly dense crowd below.

She saw eyes filled with awe, fear, and confusion, which undoubtedly represented distrust of her and uncertainty about the future.

What she needed to do was dispel everyone’s concerns and help them all understand:

Both the Lord and herself, as the Coldflame Fifth Princess, had the ability to create a better future for everyone present!

With that in mind, Ariel took a deep breath, gently opened her lips, and her clear yet steady voice was amplified through the magic array to reach the ears of everyone present.
