Chapter 94 Personnel Arrangements

Chapter 94 Personnel Arrangements

Among Ronin's three subordinates, McKen, Elrond, and Redal, the one who urgently needs reinforcement is Elrond.

The second extraordinary person who followed him is still at the level of an intermediate magician (212/300) and is still a little short of progress to be promoted to an advanced level.

After completing the achievement this time, Roning obtained 160 energy essence points. He divided them into two parts and invested 88 points of energy essence into Elron, allowing him to break through to the advanced level.

"How about it?"

After some operations, Ronin asked Elron, "Did you get anything new?"

"have!"

Elrond's eyes sparkled; he was in very good shape now.

"My Lord, I have obtained two kinds of magic, the Divine Shield and the Light Binding."

"Oh?" Luo Ning became interested. "Tell me about it."

Holy Shield, third-level light attribute magic, simply put, is to cast a light shield on the target, which can absorb damage from magic and fighting skills but cannot resist physical attacks.

Light Binding is a kind of confinement magic. In Elrond's words, it uses the tentacles of light to bind the limbs of the person being cast, making him unable to move.

In this breakthrough, Elrond still had no offensive spells, but he made great progress in defense.

"Come, use the light binding technique on me and see how strong the binding force is."

Roning stood up and decided to experience it for himself.

Elron was seen stretching out his fingers and drawing the spell patterns of Light Binding in the void. It can be seen that this magic is much more complicated than the previous ones, and there are probably more than a dozen light nodes.

As the spell patterns were carved, Elrond pointed at Ronin, and golden tentacles of light suddenly extended from the void beside the latter's limbs. They wrapped around Ronin's legs and hands like pythons.

"The binding force seems to be quite strong?"

Roning moved casually and found that his limbs had been tied up, and he was completely unable to move.

He took a deep breath and tensed the muscles in his arms, trying to pull a hand free, but found that the restraint was stronger than he imagined.

With his early intermediate level, he was unable to break it.

"A little stronger than I thought."

Roning opened the panel and added all 80 attribute points to his knight progress, now reaching the intermediate knight (133/200).

"Break it for me!"

Roning shouted in a deep voice and suddenly exerted force with his limbs. The tentacles of light that bound his limbs became unstable, and the spell was about to be broken by Roning.

But, one breath, two breaths...

Luo Ning's face turned red, and after a stalemate of seven or eight seconds, the light on his limbs shattered and disappeared.

He rubbed his wrist. Fortunately, he was the one who finally broke the magic. Otherwise, he would have been embarrassed in front of his subordinates.

"The binding is pretty good!"

Roning praised, "It should be enough to imprison an average mid-level knight."

He changed the subject, "By the way, when Mikan broke through to the advanced level, his memory was awakened. What about you? Did you gain anything new?"

When Redal was summoned, he claimed to be the commander-in-chief of the Flame Expedition.

Later, when Mikan broke through to become a high-level knight, he awakened a memory and claimed to be the leader of the Seventh Knights of the Flame Expedition.

Now that Elron has also broken through to the advanced level, I wonder if he has any awakening memory fragments.

"My Lord, I also got a piece of information."

Elron nodded. "This message tells me that I am from the Flame Crusade, just like Macon and Redar. I serve as a 'holy physician' in this army, specializing in treatment and assistance."

The skills he now masters, such as cheer up, flash, heal, holy shield, and light Binding, are all of a healing and auxiliary nature. The title of Holy Physician is more appropriate, and it would be more appropriate if it were changed to Holy Assistant.

Luo Ning finally confirmed that the three people he summoned were definitely connected.

Moreover, as their strength increases and their memories recover, they may bring certain information unknown to the world.

After Elrond withdrew his digestion-enhancing effect, Ronin was completely free.

From the time he set out on the 21st to today's evening of the 23rd, in just three days, he can be said to have conquered three savage tribes.

Even though the Grey Earth Tribe has not yet been completely controlled, with the "native" Baburin and three other junior knights controlling the people, there should not be a problem.

At that time, all he needed to do was publicize his policies again and use small favors to win over the hearts of the people.

As long as the living conditions of these savages are not allowed to deteriorate in a short period of time, and as long as many of them can grow seeds of hope for the future, everything will be easy.

"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly."

For the next period of time, as long as the Black Collar Tribe did not actively invade him, he would not cause trouble for them.

According to his plan, he would first digest the territory of the tripartite alliance and build a prototype for the industries here, and then it would not be too late to make plans for the next step.

This does not mean that we have to wait till the end of time. In fact, the attack on the Black Collar Tribe will not be delayed too long, and it is estimated to be after the spring plowing next year.

"It's a bit slow for me to break through to the advanced level of my dual professions."

He is now 67 attribute points away from breaking through to the advanced level. Once he reaches the advanced level, the knight level will need 300 points, and the magician level will need 400 points.

In other words, he still needs 767 attribute points to become a bronze knight and a great magician.

If we proceed according to the procedures, it will take about five months, which is almost exactly after the spring plowing.

By that time, once he breaks through, Shanlin Town may have four level four extraordinary professionals at the same time. Even if the Black Collar Tribe has the support of Lord Sean, it will be difficult to resist Roning's offensive.

"Let Redar take Tom, Juwitt, Sim, and Baburin to the Grey Earth Tribe and monitor the Black Collar Tribe's movements."

Redar's strength is much stronger than Slaine's. With him in charge of the Gray Earth Tribe, there will be no problem at all.

Letting Tom and others go is also to allow people they trust to use them.

"As for the defense of the Qingzhu and Ziguo tribes, with Rydar at the front, there is no danger here. Let Horn and Jenny stay in the Ziguo tribe while taking care of the defense of the Qingzhu tribe."

Luo Ning brought Irene with him, so he didn't have to worry about the two of them having any ulterior motives. Moreover, judging from this experience, the Horn couple were willing to submit.

As for the rest of the people, they were all taken back to Shanlin Town by Luo Ning.

At this point, the extraordinary people in Hillwood Town, besides himself, included McKen, Elron, Irene, David, Wharton, Dandy, and the three knights of the Gray Earth Tribe who surrendered but whose names were still unknown, a total of nine people.

These nine people are not only more than capable of taking charge of the territory's defense but can also find time to form a hunting team to go out hunting.

Luo Ning did not expect that in just two months, he would be able to gather so many extraordinary people by his own strength.

Once the horses, weapons and equipment, infantry, archers, etc., are trained, he will be able to form a regular knight team.

So, the next day, according to Ronin's plan, Redal took his men to the Gray Earth Tribe, ready to take over the people there.

Roning stayed in the Purple Fruit Tribe to demonstrate to Knight Horn how to spin silk from silk cocoons.

In fact, this process is simpler than opening the cotton, and even wood ash is not needed when boiling the cocoons.

The only difficulty was that there was no spinning wheel at hand, only a spindle, which was inconvenient to operate.

He decided that when he returned to Hillwood Town, he would ask Baal to make a few spinning wheels. As for the loom, he had to see what the looms in this world looked like.

In the morning, the little girl Irene completed her census as promised, and all 242 people in the Ziguo tribe were registered.

In order to reward the other party, Luo Ning allowed the other party to call him brother.

But I don't know if this little guy was afraid of Roning's intimidation yesterday or was a little shy; he hesitated for a long time without making a sound.

Although my brother didn't call out, he did call Wilson.

After being separated for so many days, Wilson missed the lord a lot, fearing that something might happen to him, so he was extremely excited to see him in the Ziguo tribe this time. He greeted him warmly and exaggeratedly praised Roning's strength.

This time, Wilson also brought the results of his census to the Qingzhu tribe. Including Wharton and Dandy, there were a total of 354 people in the Qingzhu tribe, all of whom were registered.

At this point, the population of the Ronin territory has increased to 2,725.

Roning praised Wilson's efficiency and assigned him a task.

Train more village chiefs and send them to Qingzhu Village, Ziguo Village, and Huitu Village, which he renamed. It would be best if they mastered the ridge farming method.

For him, the extraordinary people only need to be responsible for defense and do not need to interfere in construction.

When Wilson heard that he was going to be the political officer of so many territories, his eyes lit up. He immediately said that he would train and select the most suitable ones as soon as possible after returning.

Of course, the first thing the hard-working civil servants had to do was to complete a census of the Gray Earth Tribe.

I believe that soon, Ronin's achievement of [Population Prosperity] will be completed.

I had to travel far away for something urgent. I was on the high-speed train in the afternoon, so the update in the evening will be a little later.
