Defense forces were deployed in the areas north of Black Earth Town and Gray Earth Village, but the group of people in the valley did not seem to have any intention of coming over, so everything in the territory was safe.

While waiting, Luo Ning inspected the housing construction, land reclamation and other situations in Heitu Town. At the same time, he devoted more time to practicing swordsmanship and fighting.

He is now a bronze-level peak knight. Although McKen has reached the silver level, his strength is improving very slowly, and his training progress is only 18/1500.

Having said that, although McKen is not much ahead of Ronin in terms of strength and stamina, his defensive sword skills are quite tight in close combat.

Even under Redal's guidance, Roning could only fight with the opponent for twenty or thirty rounds without losing the upper hand. If he was eager to find the opponent's flaws, he would be the first to lose his composure.

However, this record is when he doesn't use fighting skills. Once McKen uses fighting skills, Roning will appear somewhat passive.

The opponent was an earth-attributed knight, and the two fighting skills he mastered, Earthshaker and Rock Snake, had a significant impact on Ronin.

Especially the rock snake. This huge python formed by controlling the land has super strong impact force and very fast speed. Once hit, the victim will be scratched and knocked away at best, or directly smashed to pieces by the snake head.

Ronin barely dodged it by casting speed magic on himself, but his Pyroblast spell was not enough to destroy the rock snake in one go.

If Roning's sparring with McKen was passable, then he seemed powerless when facing Ridal who had recovered from his injury.

First of all, the opponent is stronger than McKen, and his fighting style and skills are also stronger. Once Roning falls into the opponent's fast attack rhythm, he will soon be defeated.

Although Roning has never won against either McKen or Rydal, his performance is already remarkable.

After all, he is old, and he has only been practicing for half a year. It is already very good to have such a level.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was April 21st.

As the familiar words appeared, Ronin's attribute points and energy essence increased to 184 and 753 points at once.

Roning consumed all these attribute points without hesitation.

Instantly, silver lines lit up on his body, which was the mark of promotion to Silver Knight. He successfully became a Level 5 Transcendent! [Level]: 5-Silver Knight (12/1500); 5-Chief Magician (0/2000)

The Silver Knights are already a mid-to-high-end force.

A person with such strength, even if he is of ordinary background, can have a place as long as he is loyal, and it is very likely to become a knight in a few years or even more than ten years.

As for the fifth-level chief magician, he is even rarer. Such a person will be treated preferentially by nobles wherever he goes, even if he is not a noble.

After all, compared to knights, magicians have many special abilities, such as making spell scrolls, making magic potions, etc.

Behind these capabilities are interests, money, and even deterrence.

After becoming a Silver Knight, Roning had new fighting skills and magic to learn. The most powerful of them were the fire-attributed Explosive Flame Slash fighting skill and the Red Flame Snake magic.

Explosive Flame Slash, this is Redal's specialty, difficult to master, but powerful; Red Flame Snake, this is a fifth-level fire magic, although its power is much weaker than the sixth-level Fire Dragon Swallowing the Sky, it should not be underestimated.

Unfortunately, there is not enough time.

According to the plan, as soon as daybreak comes, Roning will lead the team to that strange valley.

With limited time, he could only learn as he went along and first master the fighting skills and magic that were less difficult to learn that Lulans had given him.

For example, Instant Burn, Whirlwind Cross, and Wind Roar.

The next morning, in front of the simple fortress in Heitu Town.

Roning stood on the steps and looked at his subordinates who were wearing armor or leather armor below. For a moment, he felt a little overwhelmed.

Unknowingly, his men had become a strong force!

The first tier is naturally the three summoned followers, Rydar, Mikan, and Elrond;

The second echelon consists of five middle and high-level extraordinary people: Joffrey, Kurami, Horn, Jenny, and Baburin. If Rogna had not gone out, there would be six people. The third echelon consists of four seeded players with greater potential: David, Tom, Tomasz, and Grado.

"To the north of our territory, there lives a group of strange and dangerous monsters. They may move south at any time, threatening the safety of everyone in Wubei Territory!"

Luo Ning spoke loudly, making a pre-war mobilization.

"In order to restore peace to the land where we live, in order for us to live in peace on this land, and in order for our families, friends and even future generations to no longer be threatened by these monsters, I, as the lord of Wubei Territory, am destined to fight them!"

He glanced at the group of people below, "You are the top fighting force in Wubei Territory. Although the enemies we face in this operation are mysterious and dangerous, even if they are fierce beasts, we must bravely pick up the swords in our hands and crush them!"

"For our homeland!"

Elrond clenched his fists and waved his hands just right, shouting, "For Ubeilun!"

Following his shout, others couldn't help but start shouting as well.

"For Wu Beiling!"

"For Wu Beiling!"

Suddenly, the shouts became one and the atmosphere before the expedition was aroused.

People like David and Tom, who had little experience, immediately became excited and shouted loudly with red faces.

Roning's words were not only spoken to Redal and others, but also to the guards, officials, housekeepers, servants and even the people who stayed here.

Let them know that the lord is not fighting for himself, but for them and for this homeland.

This will help increase the cohesion and centripetal force of the territory.

Although there are few people now and their quality varies, it is better to lay the foundation for some things as early as possible.

After a burst of excitement, Roning began to call the troops. Every time he called a name, he would lead the applause, creating a very lively atmosphere, making them proud to follow the lord into battle.

After the men and horses were selected, Roning gave them some encouragement.

He then reminded Wilson and others to pay overall attention to the territory during this period.

This time, even if we rush on the road, it will probably take ten days to go back and forth. Add to that the pre-war rest, exploration, processing, etc., and the total time spent will definitely not be short.

The reclamation of arable land in the territory, the maintenance of order, and the resettlement of the people brought back by Rogner, all these matters need to be handled by the professional knights who stay behind and Wilson, Chahar and others.

When the sun shone over the hills towards the fortress, Roning looked up and suddenly felt full of energy.

"Let's go!" (End of this chapter)
