Chapter 273: Expedition

The second cooking competition has entered a critical stage.

Although the one-armed and lame knight only has one hand, he looks quite skilled and has good craftsmanship.

The minotaur wearing the agate horn ring has made the strange fish in the Underdark look edible instead of inedible.

The rest of the contestants also showed off their skills.

Especially Elsa.

Rand felt that Elsa's cooking skills should have improved compared to last time.

As for the guest, Karin, the Crimson King, had great confidence in Elsa from the very beginning.

Although she couldn't see the specific scene, she still felt that Elsa would win.

When she was a detective and caught Elsa practicing cooking alone at night, she tasted Elsa's cooking herself.

She is confident about it.

The White King felt that each of these contestants had their own strengths, and their level was about the same as that of his own royal chef team.

She is also good at innovation and plans to try all the dishes developed by these contestants.

Soon it was time for the tasting.

Then comes the scoring stage.

The winner is Elsa.

In fact, including Rand, everyone thinks that Captain Yan Gang’s octopus teppanyaki tastes great.

But unfortunately, Captain Ran Gang used the same cooking method as last time, which seriously reduced his creativity.

Therefore, Elsa won by one point and became the champion of this, which is the second, Cooking Competition.

In fact, the fresh fish served to the lame one-armed knight was also very good, but he was not familiar with the seasoning, so the taste was lacking.

The royal chef's magical golden fish soup tastes amazing, and the Minotaur's Underdark treasures are truly extraordinary if you can swallow them.

The vanilla puffer fish sashimi is an ultimate stimulation to the taste buds.

However, the winning entry was still Elsa's grilled carp.

A home-cooked dish with balanced seasoning and just the right amount of heat to suit everyone's taste.

It is a crowd pleaser and an all-around perfect dish.

The title of champion is well deserved.

Rand presented the [Second Cooking Competition Champion] to Elsa and congratulated her: "Congratulations."

Elsa's cold face smiled at this moment, which surprised Rand for a moment.

Then Elsa's expression turned cold again.

The second cooking competition ended here.

The Red King Karin and the White King came to the meeting room of the upper hideout with Rand.

Although during this period, the resort was hosting banquets and cooking competitions.

In addition to visiting the labor camps, Rand was busy with agricultural research, holiday villa and hideout development planning, and ship research.

According to Rand's research, the main obstacle to shipping in this world is the trouble caused by intelligent creatures in the water.

Wooden ships are hardly able to withstand the weapons of the murlocs, nagas, and mermaids.

So Rand decided to cover the bottom of the ship with a layer of iron sheet.

To increase the safety of maritime vessels.

In the meeting room of the hideout, the Red King, the White King, and Rand gathered together.

Rand first asked Karin: "Do you really want to participate?"

Karin took out an agreement from her arms.

It was not an agreement between Karin and Rand, but an agreement between Bishop Kahn and Rand.

Rand has the right to hire paladins of the Torch Church and should pay them adequately.

"I'm not very reassured, so I plan to take a look." Of course, Karin was planning to see not only how the Torchlight Church's Paladins were commanded by Rand on the battlefield.

She also wanted to know how Rand was able to win every battle on the battlefield.

Although she probably won't need this knowledge.

Karin took out another agreement, which was the non-interference agreement she and Rand had signed, and said, "Since we don't interfere with each other, it's fine for me to study wherever I want."

Rand nodded in agreement. He would definitely not use the Torchlight Church Paladins as cannon fodder. Karin could watch if she wanted.

And Rand knew very well that although Karin was tough-talking, she would probably help if the situation really arose.

Then there is the White King on the other side.

When the White King saw Rand looking at her, he said, "The guards will join you and obey your command. I will also ensure your safety on the battlefield."

The White King looked at Karin again.

Staying in Rand's territory to exchange and learn and providing combat support to Rand on the battlefield are completely different concepts.

Now it seems that the Crimson King has some reason to ensure Rand's victory.

Of course, Karin also guessed this about the White King.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand once again looked around the conference room.

Isn't this a sure win? Rand couldn't imagine how he could lose.

However, Rand still made careful preparations. After all, there is a difference between winning a great victory with a single push and being beaten and fleeing in panic, and winning by relying on two kings.

Rand expected that this battle would not last long, and the recent hideout affairs had already been arranged among his subordinates.

The top leaders of the hideout can all leave in a short period of time. This expedition is a good opportunity for everyone to see the world together.

For example, how does a king-level professional perform on the battlefield.

There are also groups of elite knights, how dominant will they be on the battlefield.

This time, the White King came to visit the holiday villa and brought with him three teams of his personal guards.

You should know that a team of the White King's guards consists of 12 knights and 24 servants, a total of 36 people.

There are 108 people in three teams.

In addition to the 36 paladins, Rand's original 35 White King's guards (one died in battle), and 50 knights in magic steel plate armor.

This will form a super elite knight group of 229 people.

The dominance in this era is extremely terrifying.

The meeting room fell silent, and there was nothing more to discuss.

Ellie and Olenna would take care of the details.

"Now that we are ready, we can set off today." Rand had already made the specific preparations, and the army was also in Full Moon Territory. In fact, only these core figures and Rand's personal guards would set off this time.

The last time we sent the Paladins to slaughter the followers of the God of Struggle, it was a complete success. Unfortunately, the alchemical reagents are still being configured, and we are currently unable to produce more magic steel plate armor.

But that's enough for now.

The White King and Karin both nodded.

When Rand arrived at the holiday villa, the guards had been waiting outside the villa for a long time.

Rand mounted his horse and set out for the Full Moon Territory with his elite knights.

The adventurers, believers, merchants, and villagers in the holiday villas and hideouts also knew that the victorious Viscount Rand was going to go on another expedition.
