According to the explanation given by the system, Ron's soldiers want to level up, and the normal way is to either go to the battlefield and knock off the enemy's head, or undergo rigorous training.

In any case, it will take a lot of time, and it will be more or less dangerous.

But Ron's new skills are completely unreasonable, like feeding a soldier an experience book, even if they don't do anything, they can get a small amount of experience every day.

While there is still very little experience that can be gained from the skill of "Bringing Up the Brave", it is of great strategic significance. If you fall into a bloody battle in the future, and both sides of the war have suffered heavy losses and need to replenish their troops quickly, others can only recruit farmers from all over the country who have little combat ability, but you can turn this group of farmers into qualified infantry in a day or two.

Time passed little by little, and in the split second of the day, the skill effect of "Bringing New Courage" was activated, giving Arthur and John the last bit of experience to level up.

[You have new units to upgrade]

[Whether to upgrade 2 Imperial Heavy Cavalry to Imperial Mounted Cavalry]

Without any hesitation, the moment the system prompt flashed, Ron approved the request.

However, the process of upgrading was unremarkable, without any dazzling special effects, and if it weren't for the inexplicable moans of Arthur and John at the same time, Ron would almost have wondered if he had been deceived by the system.

"That's it? Upgrading from Imperial Heavy Cavalry to Imperial Mounted Cavalry, won't their equipment and horses be upgraded? ”

Although he complained a little in his heart that the system was not humane at all, Ron was able to accept this result, and if he replaced the two of them with new equipment out of thin air, he didn't know how to explain it to them.

And the promotion of the military is not only the update of equipment, but also the change of social relations and military ranks, Ron himself is the imperial mounted cavalry, from this position can only be canonized if he has a certain military merit and sufficient background.

In other words, Arthur and John now only have the strength of the standard Imperial mounted cavalry, and the more advanced equipment and official positions need to be certified within the Empire later.

As for now, they are still "Sturgia soldiers".

"The action begins!"

After the upgrade was complete, Ron ordered the crowd to wait for a long time in the night, until the bandits' sentry was drowsy, and he gave the order in a low voice.

The first to attack was White, who shot an arrow at the long-locked sentry, and the bandit fell to the ground on his back the next second. Ron, who had already touched the side of the cave, hurriedly caught the dead body, and then dragged it outside to hide.

made a forward gesture, everyone pressed against the wall and cautiously advanced, in terms of the force of both sides, in fact, Ron They were not afraid at all, because of a series of cruel "survival of the fittest" on their side, the ones who could survive until now were the fierce men among the fierce men, but they were so restrained because they were worried about the safety of those women.

At this moment, all the robbers in the cave did not realize that their lair had broken into the robbers with bad intentions, and most of them were lying staggered and sleeping soundly, and in order to keep out the cold in this terrible weather, they all drank a lot of strong wine before going to bed, and even if they were beaten by Ron, they probably would not wake up.

For these heads sent to the door, Ron naturally took all the orders, raised the dagger, the white knife went in and the red knife went out, and the five people worked together for a long time, and finally sent these sleeping robbers into eternal sleep. When Ron was dealing with the last robber at hand, the man seemed to have dreamed of something good, and he actually pouted at Ron, but he didn't know that he was sending his neck out.

Putting away the dagger, Ron joined the others, "Alright? ”

"None of them will be left!" The crowd responded.

The battle without any effort seems to bring very little experience, plus they are now all relatively high-level troops, and the experience required to upgrade has become more, so it is clear that nearly thirty people have been killed, but there is no sign that one of them is about to be upgraded.

However, stealth and stealth kills along the way have made your [Rogue Habit] proficiency increase rapidly, and as long as you do a few more votes, you can get the next [Rogue Habit] skill point.

After dealing with the sleeping bandits, the next target is those who are still busy.

Further down the cave, there were wonderful, painful cries and beastly roars.

"Scum!" Hearing the woman's uncomfortable voice, Ron cursed secretly.

Most of the soldiers behind him also felt the same way, after all, the legacy of the Calradia Empire had not been completely squandered, the standard of joining the army was still very high, the hooligan ruffians were turned away, and the loyal and honest farmers were the main source of soldiers for the Imperial Legion, and these people joined the army for more glory and military merit than to make ends meet.

As long as they were not strictly ordered by the commander, they would never aim their force at the weak, and the behavior of the robbers in front of them obviously aroused their anger.

"Kill them!" Karl gritted his teeth, and the other three men all clung to the axes in their hands, waiting for Ron's order to rush forward and tear the violent robber to pieces.

"No, wait."

However, to their surprise, Ron, who was the first to express righteous indignation, calmed down at this time, as if he noticed something was wrong.

Most of the women were locked in cages, and the robbers gathered around a stripped body, waiting for the first person to finish.

The woman who was crushed underneath her......

Was her voice too deliberate?

It's like...... It's like honey luring a brown bear into a trap.

Sure enough, as Ron speculated, the woman's legs gradually locked the robber like an iron lock, but the other party didn't notice it and thought that he was too brave to make the woman succumb.

However, the next moment, the woman pulled out the dagger from the robber's waist, flipped her wrist, and plunged the dagger into the robber's neck fiercely and resolutely, and then pulled it horizontally, and the man who had been enjoying bliss before lost his head.

Blood spurted from the large scar of the bowl, reflecting the woman's figure like a monster.

"Dead! He's dead! ”

The other robbers, terrified, were frightened, but it wasn't long before they couldn't scream anymore.

The five of them came out of the shadows, and took advantage of the moment when they lost their minds to completely end the battle in the cave, as if to vent their anger, the soldiers were extremely ruthless, and even made up several axes for the dead corpses.

"Save people."

Just after giving the order, Ron turned his head to find the miserable woman changing into the clothes of the bandits.

"We... We were commissioned by the village to save you. Ron pondered his words, trying not to provoke the poor man as much as possible, "I'm sorry for what happened, but now that you're safe, the people of the village will come and take you home." ”

"Home?" The corners of the woman's mouth widened, and she smiled contemptuously, spitting out a mouthful of bloody spit, "The Sturgians will not return home until they have killed their entire family. ”

"But the robbers are dead."

"Don't be stupid, we don't know who is responsible for all this? It's the lord who is high, it's the lord who is all the high! The woman yelled hysterically, but her movements were extremely calm, and she changed into ill-fitting leather armor in front of Ron.

"If you're talking about the local lord, then he's probably dead."

"Dead? What a pity. But her tone was not at all, "But he has a son." ”

Picking up the weapon from the ground, the woman resolutely walked out of the cave, into the snowstorm, and disappeared into the end of the white world, despite the obstacles of her released companions.

"Terrible woman." Ron sighed silently in his heart, and he suddenly found that the Stegians were not so unbearable, they had a strong personality and a martial spirit, and even relatively weak women could go to the battlefield without fear.

Theoretically, the Stegians were supposed to be an extremely high-quality source of soldiers, an army that would be feared by the enemy on the battlefield, but the reality was that this group of Sturgians who had honed their tenacity in the northern wind and snow could not fight a bad battle on the battlefield at all, and the Imperial Legion regarded the Stegians as a sparring partner for the actual combat training of recruits, and waited until the recruits were almost trained before pulling to other lines of defense to fight against more vicious enemies.

It's like the boss of the novice village.

The reason for this, Ron thinks the problem lies in the system. Stegia is a loose alliance of principalities, and there are contradictions between various princes because of territorial disputes, and it is only because of the mediation of the High King that they can reluctantly put aside their grievances against the enemy. But don't expect them to be able to deal with the Empire with all their might, once they have exhausted their own foundations, the rest of the Principality Alliance will not be able to sit still.

"However, if I had been in charge, it wouldn't have turned out like this."

Although he hadn't tried it yet, Ron had the confidence to let the Stegians burst out of their true power under his command.

After all, the existence of the system is not a joke, as long as you wait until you improve the proficiency of [Domination], the warriors under your command are an iron army that is not afraid of death at all.

After staying by the fire for a while, feeling the heat regain slightly, Ron and the soldiers were busy again. Although they can't touch the good money, the robbers themselves are trophies, and their leather armor is indeed a little rougher, but it is still enough to arm a militia of about thirty people, which is also a lot of wealth.

The cave also stored food that the robbers had looted from other nearby villages, and it was now the private property of Ron and the others.

After counting everything, the people sent by the village arrived just in time.

Looking at the convoy that was fully loaded, Ron and the others had an unconcealable smile on their lips.

It's finally time to go home.
