Who taught him to restore his country like this?

As Ron turned to walk back, his foot suddenly seemed to slip, and he stumbled and almost fell.

"Your Majesty Ron."

The soldiers quickly surrounded them.

"I'm fine." Ron leaned against the wall of the cabin and waved his hand gently to indicate that he was alright.

After resting for a while, he withdrew his arm from the wall and continued walking back.

The soldiers noticed his somewhat unsteady gait and immediately fell silent with solemn expressions.

If Ron hadn't almost collapsed from exhaustion just now, they wouldn't have noticed that Ron looked even more tired than they did.

Those heavy dark circles under his eyes clearly indicated that he hadn't slept well last night.

One can imagine that while they slept soundly last night, His Majesty Ron was tossing and turning, pondering his next move.

They suddenly understood Lawrence's intention.

They don't need to rest, but His Majesty Ron must rest properly, otherwise, if His Majesty Ron collapses from exhaustion, no matter how much they do, it will be useless.

The soldier looked at Lawrence apologetically.

I'm so sorry, Earl Lawrence, we misunderstood you. We were only thinking of ourselves. We deserve to die.

Lawrence: ? ? ?

I didn't think that much about it.

Okay, I deserve to die too.

……

When we returned to Kassel, it was already completely dark, and the full moon hung high in the sky.

The gates of Kassel.

"Your Majesty Ron, please take care of yourself." The soldiers respectfully escorted him to the carriage with concern.

Ron nodded slightly to them, then stepped into the carriage.

The carriage drove off.

The soldiers stood ramrod straight, watching the carriage disappear into the distance.

This scene left Lawrence feeling very uncomfortable.

When he was a lord, these soldiers never cared about him this much.

He shook his head. Now was not the time to worry about such things. He needed to draft a notice immediately and distribute it, and work through the night to persuade the residents of the city.

……

On the carriage.

Beatrice looked at Ron, who was looking tired and resting with his eyes closed. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly moved closer, placed her soft hands on Ron's shoulders, and gently massaged them.

"You can give massages?"

Feeling the just-right pressure on his shoulder, Ron asked.

"Ah."

Beatrice responded softly.

After that, the two stopped talking.

Ron leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to enjoy the massage.

He looked at his reputation, which had risen to double digits, and mentally gave himself a thumbs up for his superb acting skills.

It seems that the residents who returned to the city this morning did a lot of publicity for him.

Of course, as the old lord of Kassel, Lawrence's lack of public pronouncements meant that the reputation gains were ultimately a minor factor.

Lawrence is really patient; he waited almost a whole day before he got anxious.

However, it's not too late to realize this now. As long as Lawrence takes the lead in expressing his opinion, I believe the reputation hourly rate will soon reach three digits.

Chapter 56 Maximum Personal Charisma

Another night has passed.

As dawn quietly crept over the city walls, the sight before Ron when he reappeared at the city gate surprised him.

Outside the city, thousands of soldiers, clad in silver armor, stood like an iron wall. Their uniformly aligned spears pointed straight to the sky, and the point where their shields met gleamed with a chilling light.

"Your Majesty Ron," Lawrence greeted with a bow.

"What are you doing here...?" Ron asked.

“They are all soldiers who truly serve you,” Lawrence said.

"We are willing to follow His Majesty Ron and share his burdens!" Thousands of voices converged into a river, carrying fervent loyalty, echoing between heaven and earth for a long time.

"Good, good, good!"

Ron was stunned for a moment, then said "good" three times in a row. His trembling voice was slightly choked up, as if he had finally received recognition for his pent-up frustration at having no way to use his talents to serve his country.

He looked at the group of soldiers before him, his eyes welling up with tears: "The Kingdom of Orantia is saved."

Upon hearing this, the crowd's belief in following him burned even brighter, like a bonfire being lit.

Ron mounted his horse and shouted, "For humanity, let's go!"

"Fight for humanity!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, some on horseback and some on foot, following behind Ron.

Seeing Ron's happy face, they were genuinely happy for him as well.

But that wasn't all the surprises Cassel had prepared for Ron.

When Ron arrived at the Kassel border, he found that many of Kassel’s residents were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Ron's arrival, they bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty Ron, please allow us to accompany you."

"Although we cannot fight, we can participate in the search and rescue."

"Yes, we're going to rescue them."

Everyone petitioned Ron.

Many of the people inside were rescued from the two villages yesterday, and they were filled with gratitude for their savior, Ron.

"Okay, okay, come on, come on." Ron seemed to be in a very good mood and agreed to everything.

This time, instead of conducting tests as he had the day before, he led his soldiers and people directly into Komoni territory.

Every 500 meters, he would leave 50 soldiers and 100 civilians to set up camp.

The soldiers were responsible for slowly advancing into the heart of Komoni, while the local people were responsible for resupplying them and setting up camp, ensuring that the soldiers did not go beyond the territory's defined boundaries.

This allows for simultaneous advances into the heart of Komoni from multiple directions, greatly increasing efficiency.

With no worries about their rear, Ron led the remaining soldiers and pushed forward.

During this period, all the villagers rescued from the village were used to replace the 100 local people and stayed in the village to cooperate with the soldiers' advance.

With more people involved, the search and rescue and movement speed also became much faster.

As night falls.

The troops from Kassel have already surrounded half of Komony's territory.

At this point, no soldiers were left to continue the advance with Ron.

However, Lawrence had anticipated the manpower shortage in the afternoon and had already gone back to redeploy soldiers, who should arrive here in another two or three hours.

Ron waited at the last outpost.

During his brief break, he opened the panel to check the progress.

Name: Ron Rheinter

Race: Human

Age: 17

[Level: LV.39]

[Affiliation: Kingdom of Lah (King), Skywalker Mercenary Group (Vice Leader) "Switch"]

[Territory: Kassel]

[Reputation: 2712 (150/h↑)]

Experience: 26440 (300/h↑)

"My damn charisma."

With Lawrence's clear statement and a night of mental preparation, the effect was indeed different.

His reputation points had already broken through the three-digit mark by morning and continued to rise steadily to 150, with his reputation value about to break through the 3000 mark.

He had over 1500 reputation points when he left Gray Mist. He used 400 reputation points to upgrade the third-tier skills [Treading on Dew] and [Embrace of the Tide] to minor mastery, and used 1000 reputation points to upgrade the fourth-tier skill [Thunder Flash] to minor mastery.

Before yesterday, his reputation points were only a little over two hundred.

Exchanging for a Tier 5 skill requires 20,000 reputation points, and upgrading it to the minor mastery level requires 4000 reputation points.

Even if he learns a fifth-tier skill from Wim later, his reputation will not increase.

Fortunately, thanks to his great character, he has now made it all back.

As time goes by and the territory continues to expand, this reputation gain will continue to grow, and may even exceed 500.

A few small fortresses can yield a fairly high income when they reach 500 reputation.

He still had plenty of time. Based on his initial estimate of the future, he believed that after the Divine Purification Array was activated, he could enjoy the benefits of the Kingdom of Orantia for at least two weeks.

It's only the fourth day; there are still ten days left.

If we can stabilize the current situation, when he leaves, the accumulated reputation gains may be enough to directly exchange for a sixth-tier skill.

And his experience will probably bring him very close to level 50.
