Who taught him to restore his country like this?

If Byron hadn't ignored her advice and insisted on taking on the task, they wouldn't have been caught up in this vortex.

Stared at by Reggie, Byron scratched his head sheepishly.

Reggie sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to consult His Majesty Ron and see if he has any good solutions. If not, we'll ask him to come with us and escape from Graymist Territory."

Byron's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Yes, they can take Ron with them and escape, so it won't be considered a breach of the mission agreement.

……

On the carriage.

Ron was not faced with a difficult choice.

Upon hearing the news Byron had gathered, he knew he had to run away.

Unfortunately, his framework for reaping reputation had just been established and was on the right track, but before he could reap a big harvest, it was about to collapse.

God of Light, you deserve to die!

If it weren't for Him, it would have taken at least half a month for the Emerald Kingdom to notice the anomaly in the Gray Mist Territory and take large-scale action.

The earnings from half a month were enough to raise him to level 40 or higher, making it easier for him to plan his next territory.

But now...

[Reputation: 540 (50/h↑)]

Experience: 17760 (530/h↑)

With 17,000 experience points, he can only level up to level 30 at most.

This is actually quite fast. If you were to start managing your territory from scratch like a player and level up to level 30, it would take at least four months, or even half a year.

Ron wasn't satisfied with that; he just wanted it to be faster.

Looking at reputation, it's even more appalling; you can't even afford to learn a third-tier skill.

[Tier 1]

Fireball: 100

Water Polo Skill: 100

……

[Second Order]

[Inferno: 300]

Water Arrow Skill: 300

[Analysis: 300]

……

[Third Order]

[Explosion: 1000]

【Swift Wind Blades: 1000】

……

Ron glanced at the dazzling array of skills, his gaze finally settling on an item in his inventory.

[Return Scroll: 2000]

If you were to ask him what he most wanted to buy, it would undoubtedly be this item that could only be purchased once a month.

As the name suggests, it is an item that can teleport him from outside the territory back to the territory.

When being chased outside your territory, you can use it to teleport back to your territory.

What if you are surrounded in someone else's territory?

This is where its other clever use comes into play: when you have two different identities and two territories at the same time, you can immediately teleport to the other territory simply by giving up one of them.

For example, Ron is currently in the Graymist Territory as the King of the Kingdom of Lah.

Suppose he also has another territory, and his identity is that of the leader of a mercenary group.

Now all he needs to do is give up his territory in Gray Mist Territory, and he can use a return scroll to teleport to the mercenary group's territory.

A return scroll is undoubtedly the best tool for escaping.

Unfortunately, Ron is short of money and has only dared to buy a second-tier skill, [Appraisal], so far.

Identification is the most practical skill among the second-tier skills. Identification level and growth talent are secondary; its most important function is to identify the target's faction.

As the saying goes, no matter how good your marksmanship is, you're still afraid of the sixth man.

His ability to identify enemies and friends is excellent.

"Your Majesty Ron."

Reggie's voice came from the carriage.

Chapter 19 The Second Identity

Among the Skywalker Mercenary Group, Reggie is undoubtedly the smartest.

Ron knew perfectly well why she had approached him at this moment.

They were simply trying to escape when things looked bad, and came to test his attitude.

Ron wasn't annoyed; after all, the man was just a mercenary, and there was no need for him to live and die with him for a mission.

"Come up and talk."

Ron summoned Reggie.

Reggie stepped into the carriage, bowed respectfully, and then sat down on the right-hand seat at Ron's nod.

"Skip the pleasantries, what do you want to say?" Ron asked first.

Seeing that Ron was not very patient, Reggie skipped the unnecessary probing and said directly, "The Emerald Kingdom's army could attack at any time. I would like to ask His Majesty Ron to leave Graymist Territory with us."

Ron chuckled softly, neither confirming nor denying.

He does intend to flee, but he cannot flee with them.

The more people there are, the bigger the target becomes, and the easier it is to expose their whereabouts.

The restoration of the Kingdom of Lach has attracted the attention of countless people, and many want to find out the secrets of its restoration from him.

He's a hot commodity now; if he leaves Graymist Territory, he might not even be able to beat that big guy Byron.

Therefore, he could not possibly reveal his whereabouts to anyone.

The royal knights of the Kingdom of Lach have already proven with their actions that even those who swear allegiance to you cannot be trusted.

Seeing Ron smile without saying a word, Reggie continued, even though he was unsure of himself: "A great war is imminent. The Gray Mist Territory is currently unable to organize a sizable army in the short term. Even if it could, these people might not be loyal to you. It would be unwise to engage in direct combat with the Emerald Kingdom."

“Your analysis makes a lot of sense.” Ron nodded in agreement.

Reggie's face lit up with joy, thinking he had persuaded Ron. He was about to seize the opportunity to convince Ron to escape together when he heard Ron say, "Retreating without a fight is not my style. Gray Mist Territory borders the Kingdom of Orantia. We can escape whenever we want. Why rush?"

The Kingdom of Orantia was not a participant in the third war of the gods. As long as he fled to the Kingdom of Orantia, the Emerald Kingdom, whose focus was on the war of the gods, would be unable to do anything to him.

Ron appeared calm and confident about his plans.

Upon hearing this, Reggie's eyes revealed disappointment.

The Emerald Kingdom is clearly encircling the Gray Mist Territory. I'm afraid that when they attack from multiple sides, Ron won't be able to escape even if he wants to.

Ron was lost in his own thoughts. Knowing she couldn't change his mind, she had no choice but to reluctantly resign.

She said, "The war between the Kingdom of Lah and the Kingdom of Emerald has exceeded the limits of mercenary missions. We can no longer fulfill our contract. Please allow us to leave Graymist Territory, Your Majesty Ron."

She lowered her head, anxiously awaiting a reply.

“If you want to leave, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Ron said.

"Thank you for your kindness." Reggie was overjoyed, never expecting Ron to let them leave so easily.

But on second thought, it doesn't seem like such a strange thing.

Why would someone who can provide free food to civilians and liberate slaves make it difficult for these few people to leave?

Although I can't understand what this adult did, the orc girl might be right—this adult isn't a bad person.

“Don’t rush off,” Ron called to Reggie, who was about to leave. “It’s understandable that you left Graymist Territory, but you didn’t complete the mission. I won’t hold you responsible, as long as you agree to one small request.”

"Your Majesty Ron, please speak."

“I want to be the vice-captain of your Skywalker Mercenary Group,” Ron said.

Reggie was stunned, not understanding Ron's intention.

"Are you going to leave Graymist Territory with us?"

"No, I will not leave Graymist Territory for the time being."

"Then you..."

“I have high hopes that you can become one of the top mercenary groups in the Mercenary Association. I’d like to ask for a position in advance,” Ron said with a smile.

There is some basis to this statement.

Name: Byron

Race: Human

Age: 27

[Level: LV.45]

[Affiliation: Heavenly Disciple Mercenary Group (Leader)]

[Growth Talents: Physical (A), Strength (A), Energy (C), Speed ​​(C), Vitality (C)]

Reaching an A in any of your growth talents will allow you to achieve the pinnacle of achievement in the ordinary kingdom—level 70.

At its peak, the Kingdom of Lahe only had seven level 70 combatants, three of whom knew seventh-tier magic.
