Who taught him to restore his country like this?

Before long, Lawrence selected three hundred people.

Ron looked at the selected soldiers and encouraged them, "Don't be discouraged. Cheer up! Your abilities are beyond question. It's just that I don't have the ability to let you show your skills yet. I hope you can wait patiently. Once I solve the problem, I will definitely let you all show your abilities."

His gaze swept across the soldiers' faces one by one, and he made a solemn promise.

The soldiers lowered their heads in shame when they met Ron's trusting gaze.

What happened last night has proven to Ron that they are not soldiers loyal to the Kingdom of Lah.

Although everyone knows the truth, it would be awkward for both sides if it were brought up.

No lord can accept his soldiers being disloyal.

Ron, however, did not blame them at all after learning about this, nor did he vent his anger or give up.

He continued to help and encourage them diligently.

This made them feel very upset, and they wished Ron would yell at them.

Think beautifully.

Ron couldn't possibly reward them.

After instructing Lawrence to bring the residents who wanted to help along, he mounted his horse, turned it around, and faced the open city gate.

"Can you ride a horse?" he asked Beatrice, who was standing next to him.

Upon hearing this, Beatrice's magic surged, and her body slowly floated up.

It means I can fly.

You're talking nonsense, keep a low profile.

Ron reached out his hand to her.

Beatrice looked at Ron's outstretched hand, blinked her long eyelashes, thought for two seconds, and then extended her left hand and gently placed it on Ron's palm.

Ron took her slightly cold little hand and gently pulled her onto the horse.

"Hold on tight."

Ron gave the reins a tug.

"set off!"

The chestnut horse, bathed in the warm morning light, galloped out of the city gate.

Three hundred spirited horses followed closely behind.

The jolting of the horses caused Beatrice to show a hint of panic on her face, and she instinctively clung tightly to Ron's waist.

What a strong back...

She tilted her head slightly and looked at the handsome profile that exuded determination.

This man is incredible.

"Just hold me around the waist, don't hug me so tightly."

Ron's voice rang out.

Beatrice snapped out of her daze, released her grip on Ron's waist, and instead grabbed the leather sword belt around Ron's waist.

……

The troops stopped at the Kassel border.

After setting Beatrice down, Ron ordered three hundred soldiers to remain in place and wait for orders, while he rode into Komoni territory to explore the area along the markings left the previous night.

In reality, it's about redividing the territory beyond the Great Wall.

The unsuspecting soldiers thought Ron was risking his life for their safety and were deeply moved.

Twenty minutes later, Ron returned on horseback.

By this time, Lawrence had arrived with the residents who wanted to help.

At a glance, there were about two hundred people.

Ron dismounted and came to them, saying with a gratified expression, "Thank you very much for the sacrifices you have made for the Kingdom of Orantia. You don't need to feel ashamed of the kingdom. You are proud because many of the kingdom's people will be saved because of your participation."

“His Majesty Ron is right, you have something to be proud of, and the kingdom will remember your contributions,” Lawrence shamelessly echoed.

The people who had been feeling ashamed because of their treason, now had fighting spirit burning in their eyes after hearing this.

But soon, Ron poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

“To prevent a repeat of last night’s situation, please allow me to test whether you are suitable to participate in the operation first,” Ron said.

He turned to look at Beatrice.

Beatrice understood and walked towards the border.

Soon, she crossed the border and entered Komoni territory.

Ron told her to stop after they had walked for more than ten meters.

When Beatrice returned, he continued, “She is a citizen of the Kingdom of Lah. You all saw it. She was not pulled into the Eternal Illusion when she entered the territory of Komoni because she was protected by the rules of the War of the Gods.”

"Next, I will test you one by one whether you are protected by the rules of the War of Gods."

Chapter 54 Facing the Bull

Upon hearing this, many people immediately lowered their heads guiltily.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense could tell that Ron's words, while seemingly a test of their protection, were actually a test of their true loyalty.

This made those who wanted to pass themselves off as experts start sweating profusely.

Most of them came for the benefits promised by Lawrence. Although they had decided to surrender to the Kingdom of Lach, it was difficult to completely change their deep-seated thoughts in a short period of time.

They themselves were unsure whether they had truly surrendered.

"You go first."

Ron pointed to a young man in the front row.

The young man was the first person to ask to join the team in front of the city gate.

A hint of panic flashed across the young man's face. He forced himself to remain calm and walked to the Kassel border. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he steeled himself and took that step.

Then... he stopped making any further moves.

Like all those trapped in the eternal illusion, he became a human statue, devoid of heartbeat and breath.

This scene made everyone present tense.

Their gazes all turned to Ron.

Ron trusted them so much and had such high expectations of them that the first person failed the test.

This made them feel a burning pain on their faces.

Fortunately, Ron wasn't angry about the first person's deception.

After the soldiers pulled the man out, Ron said, "Next."

He still expressed his expectations for these people.

Lawrence also has high expectations for the rest.

There must be only a minority of people who are deceiving others. As long as the rest of the people pass the test, the awkward atmosphere can be eased.

Faced with Ron and Lawrence's expectations, the remaining people felt increased pressure and tried their best to suppress their wavering thoughts.

The second person, under immense pressure, arrived at the border and nervously took that step.

Then he stopped moving.

Lawrence was immediately embarrassed; two swindlers in a row had caused Kassel's reputation to plummet.

If he were Ron, he would be furious at such deception.

He secretly glanced at Ron's face and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that Ron's expression was calm and he did not show any dissatisfaction.

I couldn't help but marvel at how rare it was to find someone as broad-minded and virtuous as Ron!

After the second person was dragged out, he hid at the back of the group in shame.

As the third person stepped forward, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Surely I'll pass the test this time? It's impossible that three people in a row are all scammers, right?

Yes, you got it right.

The third person went in and looked exactly like the first two.

Lawrence felt a chill run down his spine.

Under other circumstances, the patriotism of these three people would absolutely be commendable.

But now is not the time for you bastards to show your patriotism!

“Next.” Ron’s expression remained calm.

The fourth person stepped forward.

send.

The fifth person, sent.

The sixth person, sent.

Lawrence: "..."

……

The seventy-first person, sent.

Lawrence became numb after 71 people failed the test in a row.

He had no more face to lose.

Destroy it, hurry up.

Ron took in Lawrence's reaction and chuckled to himself, "This is nothing, the real show is yet to come."
