[Kress: [Run 4], [Strike 3], [Reconnaissance 4], [Tracking 4], [Silent Infiltration], [Outstanding Assassin], [Amateur Locksmith]; 】

Kress doesn't have many skills, but he's a lot more powerful than in the game. And she also has three bonus skills, which can be completed by infiltration and assassination. And some uncomplicated door locks, she can also pry them very quietly.

That night, Byron didn't sleep well, because he put on his coat and lit candles and talked to her for a long time.

From the chat, Byron found out from the little girl's body that things that did not belong to this age.

She may still have a trace of innocence, but the innocence of the young girl has been completely extinguished. In her words, Byron heard a deep hatred, a hatred for those in power, and even more so a hatred for humanity.

This little girl from Wiki came here to join him purely for some way out, she was uneducated, uneducated, and her life was full of pain.

She told Byron very directly that her dream was to become a nobleman, and then to take revenge on those who had looked down on her and bullied her. As for others, she doesn't plan to help them, and if she can, she also hopes to use power to oppress others. He was full of disappointment with those people, and she couldn't think of a reason to help them, because there was no one to help her when she was suffering.

"Countering violence with violence."

This is what Byron said about her.

Although he felt uncomfortable with this thought as a modern person, she did not object to it. The weak do not do evil, perhaps simply because they lack that ability.

There were many bandits and villains who died at the hands of Byron's troops, and many of them were forced to take risks because of the necessity of life. Although they were pitiful, Byron never relented when he killed them. If these people are allowed to be kings, they will naturally not be concerned about the rights of the people at the bottom, but the gold in their own pockets and the scope of their rights.

"Protect the weak and uphold justice!"

Although this sentence is righteous and awe-inspiring, isn't this a kind of sympathy for the strong?

Byron didn't want to be weak, he didn't want to be destroyed by those strong people, and then look at him pitifully and let him die.

So although he was a little unhappy after being threatened by Cress, Byron still gladly accepted the girl.

"I can't say you're right, Kress. But you are right, only when you are strong can you be qualified to sympathize with others. You're one of us from now on, and I'll treat you as a friend. If I ascend to the top one day, I will let you get what you want. I don't have much ability, but I don't talk and am not stingy. ”

The next day, Byron officially introduced Kress to the rest of his team, and within a day, the cook became an assassin hired by Byron.

Although the captain's strength is not very good, it is no problem to win a light infantry, and his brain is good, and he has never seen any accidents.

However, it was a little surprising that this little girl was able to force him to do nothing with a dagger, and that she easily sneaked into the house without making any movement.

However, Kress also showed them a hand, and they inadvertently held them hostage with a dagger. In this case, the best case scenario for Fatis and Bandak is to die together.

Bandak praised her abilities, and Fatis was a little concerned about Kress's background, but he still believed that it was because of the environment and recognized Kress's abilities.

Jamila also talked to Kress for a while, but she clearly didn't like Kress's disdain for the poor, especially since she was one of them. And Kress also felt that Jamila's idea was too idealistic and did not see the real ugliness.

But this is also where they can complement each other, so although they are both dissatisfied with each other, the two of them get along very well when they are together.

Of course, just like when Jamila first joined, there were a few soldiers who would make pornographic jokes in front of Kress and deliberately flirt.

Of course, after Kress pointed his dagger at their lifeline and threatened to cut it off, the soldiers never dared to go as far as her dagger could reach.

A few days later, news came from Norma's side. A destitute army of bandits ventured into Norma, only to be killed by Alleyne and the villagers. Except for a few peasants, there were no other casualties.

The villagers of Norma had their own self-defense forces, and Ellen returned to Decherium two days later with their thanks.

On the day of his return, Byron held another banquet to welcome them back in triumph.

Byron introduced Kress to Alleyne, who welcomed her, but Kris didn't give him too much face, and he was a little upset, but not to the point of dissatisfaction.

"This is a terrible peasant woman, and I don't trust her. But you didn't do anything wrong with hiring her, she's very useful to us, and as long as she doesn't provoke me, I'll respect her as much as I can. ”

Privately, Alleyne told Byron.

[Mission: Complete the training of the villagers, your reputation will increase by 20, your local reputation will increase, and the villagers of Norma will welcome you. 】

There are no other rewards, but the reputation is quite a lot. It seems that doing this kind of task is very conducive to promoting Byron's reputation.

In the following month, Byron's pockets remained basically unchanged, and most of the money earned was spent. However, a letter was also sent from the Niwa car, as well as a few large silver coins, which meant that the dyeing workshop was completed and the business began smoothly.

Byron wrote a reply praising the craftsman and telling him that in the following month's financial statement, 10 dinars were to be given to him as a bonus.

And in this month, the Peony mercenary team has also completed five tasks from the city mayor and village elders, although they are all tasks such as escorting the city caravan or helping the villagers clean up the robbers, but Byron did not hesitate to send many of his own senior soldiers, making the scene very big, forcibly publicizing the strength of his team, and also achieved a certain effect. By the end of the month, Deherim's children had come to know about Byron's and his Peony mercenaries.

Byron's reputation has also increased by 50 points. Byron's reputation is almost the same as that of the well-known mercenary teams in the kingdom.

And after a month of training, those newly recruited militiamen also became qualified militiamen, and even three were promoted to unqualified light infantry. The previous light infantry also began to learn to ride horses with Fatis, but with very little progress.

However, even if they learned to ride horses, Byron would not be able to purchase as many heavy cavalry equipment for the time being.

Nord's light infantry has also reached 9, and there are 4, and the training is almost the same, the pace is very steady in foot combat, and the attack is also in place.

There were also 20 newcomers who joined the Peony Mercenary Team, half of which were Norma, and they saw the appearance of Alleyne chasing the robbers with the cavalry at that time, and saw Byron's boldness in treating them, so they deliberately ran so far to join the Peony Mercenaries.

Because of the increase in numbers, Byron also used the profits from the dyeing mill to build a new house on the farm. Because of the increase in the number of people, a cook came here with his family, and with Byron's permission, he set up a tavern in the farmstead, specializing in selling wine, which was cheap but made a lot of money. And the soldiers are happy to walk less and save a few copper plates.

On the outskirts of Dehrim, Byron has gone from being the most visited place. Even the merry women in the city come once a week to look for business.

Byron felt that his strength was already enough, and now he set his sights on the ruling class --- aristocracy in Calradia.
