A moment later, Rhizoma Drynariae and the other four Defense Army commanders finally reacted in succession.

Expressions of determination turned to ecstatic joy on their faces as they knelt on one knee and expressed their gratitude to Leo Ray, “Thank you, my Lord! We are willing to go through fire and water for you!”

“Enough with the formalities, please stand up,” Leo Ray said with a smile, raising his hand and continuing, “Now that the armor has arrived, all troops, including the Guard Corps, must step up their training and never let their guard down. After all, our surroundings are still surrounded by strong enemies.”

“Yes, my Lord!” The crisp sound of armor colliding filled the air as Rhizoma Drynariae and the others bowed in unison.

“By the way, there’s another important matter.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Leo Ray took a step forward and walked out of the armory, saying, “Although Cyan Town has a complete city defense system, the city wall is less than 3 meters high, which is too thin.

So, starting today, as soon as possible, raise the city wall to a height of over 5 meters and construct more arrow towers and magic cannon turrets for emergencies. The necessary funds can be allocated from the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“Yes, my Lord! ” Linda and Rhizoma Drynariae immediately bowed and acknowledged the order.

“Oh, Linda, what progress have you made in collecting magic medicine materials?”

As thev walked out of the armorv, Leo Rav turned his head and continued to inquire.

“My Lord, I have mobilized all available resources at Sanders’ Trading Conference to collect materials from all parties. As of now, many rare magic medicine materials are being transported to Cyan Town one after another.”

Linda, dressed in a white knight’s attire, proudly stated, “In particular, we have already completed more than half of the material collection progress for the Star Pattern Magic Energy Pill, which you, my Lord, have specifically instructed.”

“That’s very good. This is crucial and must be treated as a top priority.”

Nodding with satisfaction, Leo Ray turned to the robust old man with a flushed face and said, “Mister Mason Banks, how is the collection of forging materials going?”

“My Lord, the materials required for the Tier 3 Bright Silver Luminous Armor blueprint you bestowed upon me will arrive in Cyan Town soon. By then, I can begin forging!”

Mason Banks’ face revealed a look of excitement as he continued, “Furthermore, according to your previous instructions, my Lord, I have relocated my entire forging shop inside the City Lord’s Mansion to ensure that we will not be disturbed during forging.”

“Good, if you encounter any difficulties, report them to me.”

As they spoke, Leo Ray had already entered the main hall of the castle beside them and strode toward the throne at the head of the room.

Once seated in the throne, Linda stepped forward and reported, ‘My Lord, all of the former City Lord’s collectibles have been dealt with. We have obtained more than 1 million Gold Dragons, which are all stored in the treasure vault of the castle.”

“That’s great. Let’s keep the funds here for now. It can be used for the construction of city walls and for other expenses. I’ll give you some more materials to sell later. In short, any problem that can be solved with Gold Dragons is not a problem for us here.”

With that said, Leo Ray looked around at the subordinates below him and continued, “Now, let’s discuss today’s main issue. What exactly happened with Kombu’s disappearance?”

‘My Lord, here’s what happened…’

On the other side, Linda prepared herself and began to recount the events.

Earlier today, the young clerk who had accompanied Kombu came to find Linda in a hurry and gave a detailed report of the situation.

Several days ago, after Kombu and his party of more than 50 people successfully purchased White Jade Ore, they immediately headed back. However, because they passed through a small village, which they had business dealings with before, the village had a demand for goods.

So, to save time, Kombu left the young clerk behind to record the list of items needed by the village for future supply.

Before leaving, Kombu agreed to meet the young clerk in Milan Town, which was on the way back.

But when the young clerk hurried to Milan Town after finishing his task, he discovered that Kombu and his party had never arrived there.

Thus, after waiting fruitlessly for a day, the anxious young clerk returned to Cyan Town overnight and reported the matter to Linda in the morning.

“My Lord, the clerk has been with Kombu for many years, so his credibility is beyond doubt.”

With a bow to Leo Ray, Linda added, “In short, it’s as if Kombu and his party of more than 50 people, along with their cargo, had vanished into thin air on their way.” see.”

After pondering for a moment, Leo Ray stroked his chin and mused, “Is it possible that they were intercepted by bandits or robbers on the way?” “My Lord, I don’t think the chances are very high.”

Linda shook her head and replied, “First of all, there are no remote trails between Kombu’s starting point and our Cvan Town. It’s mostlv plain terrain and frequently traveled by merchants.

Secondly, the Sanders’ Trading Conference’s reputation combined with the over 50 elite guards, including more than a dozen Tier 2 Senior Powerhouses, would make even Tier 3 Powerhouses retreat. Not to mention ordinary bandits and robbers.”

“Indeed, it seems as if Kombu has vanished into thin air.”

Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully, saying, “In any case, we can now determine that Kombu disappeared somewhere between Milan Town and the initial small village.

We might as well start our investigation from Milan Town. Since there are many merchant travelers passing by, perhaps someone there has seen Kombu’s whereabouts.”

“My Lord, my thoughts are exactly the same as yours.”

On the other side, Linda bowed again, saying, “Milan Town is located south of Cyan Town and is about a day and a half’s carriage journey away. It’s about the same size as our town here.

It’s one of the closest large towns to us. Regarding its specific strength and military deployment, I have already investigated and understood it thoroughly. Allow me to guide you, my Lord.”

“Very well, let’s not delay any further. We shall set off now.”

Nodding to Linda and the other subordinates, Leo Ray did not hesitate and said, “Let’s go! Our destination is Milan Town!”
