Chapter 534: Chapter 392: Bert’s Past_2
“I am very sorry, my Lord.
Before your arrival, the strength of the 5,000-strong defense army was already the limit of this city, leaving almost no surplus equipment in reserve.”
At this moment, Burt laughed awkwardly and then explained.
Because the warehouse was too empty, his voice became somewhat ethereal.
“Never mind, it won’t be long before there will be an inexhaustible supply of equipment here.” Leo Ray smiled faintly and waved his hand.
A pile of different light and heavy armors, large shields, daggers, heavy bows, and a large number of other weapons and equipment suddenly appeared out of thin air, filling everyone’s surroundings.
Seeing this scene, both Burt and Celia were once again uncontrollably stunned.
“Here are 100 sets of Tier 3 Heavy Infantry equipment: heavy armor, dagger, and large shield set.
100 sets of Tier 3 Archer equipment: leather armor with a heavy bow, and 100 sets of Tier 3 Light Infantry equipment: light armor with a longsword.
Enough for the fully staffed Tier 2 Royal Guard squads to be fully outfitted.” Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of the two, Leo Ray smiled faintly.
These Tier 3 equipments were mostly contributed by the Half-Orc Corps before.
A small part was upgraded from the Tier 1 equipment replaced by Viennas City Auction, Border Battlefield spoils, and Snow Wolf Clan.
In any case, it is undoubtedly fully satisfy the needs of the three elite Tier 2 squads here.
On the other side, watching the dazzling Tier 3 equipment in front of them, Burt and Celia ,how shocked they were, needless to say.
Excited beyond control, they once again lowered their heads to Leo Ray and swore their loyalty.
You should know that the three Tier 2 Royal Guard squads of Crystal Kingdom were only equipped with the most ordinary Tier 2 equipment.
However, even so, for this hidden Moon Wolf Tribe country, it was still a huge expense, taking a long time to gradually complete.
As a result of the full Tier 3 equipment, the strength of the three royal guard squads will undoubtedly achieve an epic increase!
“All stand up.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly and slightly hesitated, recalling that the main weapon used by Crystal Archduke earlier was only an ordinary Tier 3 longsword.
His heart moved slightly, and he gave Burt a Tier 4 longsword, a set of Tier 4 light armor, a brand-new storage ring [Eye of St. Fallen], and 500 Tier 2 healing magic medicines.
A suitable set of Tier 4 equipment is needless to say.
The 500 Tier 2 healing magic medicines would be enough to dramatically increase the battlefield survival rate of Crystal Kingdom’s core forces.
Next, Leo Ray gave Celia a pair of Tier 4 spurs, two Qi Condensing Pills, a Rose Gathering Energy Pill, and another brand-new storage ring, instructing her to cultivate well.
Unquestionably, these three magic medicines are enough to make Celia advance to Tier 3 powerhouse level.
“Thank you very much, my Lord! Crystal Kingdom is willing to go through fire and water for you!”
On the other side, Burt and Celia, who had been in a state of excitement, once again deeply bowed to Leo Ray’s feet.
There is no doubt that the precious items Leo Ray dispensed with a wave of his hand were things they had never even dreamed of!
“As I just said, all of this is just the beginning.” Leo Ray smiled faintly and helped the two up.
As Leo Ray strides slowly in the dazzlingly colored equipment warehouse, he continued, “Apart from that, as for the 5 battalions of ordinary defense soldiers.
I will also quickly replace all their equipment with Tier 2 equipment.”
At this point, Leo Ray paused, and then said, “By the way, don’t dispose of the old equipment in a hurry, gather them all in the equipment warehouse.
When the time comes, I have another use for it.”
At this stage, although there is no need to worry about Tier 1 and Tier 2 equipment.
However, Tier 3 equipment is still relatively scarce, and Tier 4 even more so.
Therefore, those replaced low-level equipment, Leo Ray naturally intends to upgrade them in bulk for emergencies.
After all, Tier 3 equipment is not something that can be easily obtained by the many forces on this land.
“Yes, my Lord!” Hearing Leo Ray’s words, Burt’s old face was full of excitement, and he bowed to Leo Ray again.
You should know that it took the Crystal Kingdom to its limit to gather the Tier 1 equipment used by the 5 Defense Army battalions.
But upgrading the entire defense force to Tier 2 equipment would undoubtedly take the overall strength of this small country to a whole new level!”Very good.”
Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction and took a step towards the equipment warehouse.
Meanwhile, he said to Burt and Celia, “There is another important matter I want to discuss with both of you.”
Thus, they returned to the luxurious VIP room they were in earlier.
As soon as he was seated, Leo Ray didn’t hesitate and spoke to Burt and Celia, who were sitting lower in position, “It’s time for us to discuss the matter of Giant Axe General Burt.”
Following that, Leo Ray recounted the purpose of his group’s visit to the city to the two of them in detail.
After listening to Leo Ray’s words, Burt and Celia were silent for a while.
Then, Celia stood up first, bent a little, and said, “Reporting to my Lord, I pretended not to know the name Burt because I have never met this uncle of mine. Secondly, this name is a taboo in the Crystal Archduke’s domain.”
“Your uncle?” Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly, continuing to listen.
“Lord, as Celia said, Burt is indeed my own brother,” Burt sighed heavily, then continued, “However, thirty years ago, due to an incident, my entire family and I were deeply disappointed in him. Consequently, we expelled him from the Crystal Archduke’s domain, forbidding him to set foot in this land again.”
At this point, Burt’s aged face showed sullenness, helplessness, and despair as he shook his head.
After that, through Burt’s narration, Leo Ray learned about the differences in temperament and personalities between Burt and his brother who was the previous Crown Prince of the Crystal Archduke.
As the older brother, Burt’s personality was more extroverted and yearned for the outside world, whereas Burt was more introverted, only wishing to live a peaceful life in their homeland.
This directly led to the fact that, after they reached adulthood, Burt’s brother left for the outside world without hesitation, while Burt stayed at home.
“Before leaving, my brother told me that in order to change the world’s perception of our Moon Wolf Tribe as being fierce and brutal, we must achieve something remarkable and seek peaceful coexistence with other races. However, he left and didn’t contact us for nearly twenty years. When we heard from him again, he had become the Coldflame Kingdom General in the Coldflame Royal City.”
At this point, Burt’s old eyes misted over, clearly lost in memories: “At first, we received the exhilarating news that my brother had returned. Our father and our entire family were overjoyed. Later, Burt secretly returned to the Crystal Archduke’s domain.”
Through his narration, Burt learned that Burt had accidentally saved an injured Coldflame Army captain and consequently joined the Coldflame Army during his third year of adventure. Over the following twenty years, Burt fought alongside his army as a human soldier, participating in battles from the Unfallen Fortress in the northernmost part of the Coldflame Kingdom to the Rainforest Fortress in the south, repeatedly experiencing narrow escapes from death. Eventually, he accumulated military merits and returned to the Coldflame Royal City to be appointed as a Kingdom General and granted the noble title of Coldflame Earl.”
At that time, Burt was overjoyed and talked with his brother for several days and nights, listening to his thrilling and exciting battlefield stories.”
At this point, a sincere smile appeared on Burt’s face.
However, the smile disappeared quickly, replaced by a thick and rapid heaviness on Burt’s aged face, deepening the wrinkles on his forehead.
