Kyle broke down much easier than I expected, apparently I still underestimate the effect of the title. He laid it all out! It was sponsored by the 4th level kingdom of Kraus, our neighbors. The kingdom's strengths were not the army, but the economy, but in any case, it will be very difficult for our kingdom to resist the Kraus Kingdom now. To become a level 4 kingdom, you need 20 level 4 fighters and 10 magicians of the same level. Also, the total number of the army is 12,000 people and aircraft transport. Neither Kyle nor anyone else in the kingdom of Jorgen had more accurate information about their forces, but this is the minimum.
Kyle was contacted by one of the two dukes of our neighbor and offered his support in the uprising and did not ask for anything in return, it is obvious that he planned to launch a full-scale invasion during the troubles in our country after the uprising, and Kyle would simply be wasted, but this half-wit did not even think about it. What an idiot!
- That's all I know! Will you let me go now?
Kyle looked at me hopefully, I could barely make out his speech, due to the absence of at least half of his teeth. Looking at him, I smiled, nodded and held out my hand to him.
[Ice Manipulation] is a level 2 spell that I used on my hand when Kyle was no more than 10 centimeters away. A point of ice appeared on my arm and, like a knife in butter, my hand entered Kyle's chest.
- I forgive you and let you go!
I said, looking into the eyes of this degenerate, who even at the last moment did not understand what was happening.
[You killed a Level 3 fighter! Received 500 XP of a fighter, Received 500 XP of a magician, the amount of the contribution is 100%.]
My contribution to Kyle's murder was 100% due to the fact that I caught him and I killed him. Half of the experience points went to the fighter class due to the fact that half of the skills I used belonged to the fighter subclasses, and the second half went to the mage class for the same reason. These experience points were not enough to level up in any of the classes. For some reason, there was no level bar in "Airial", but I knew the requirements for each level up to the 75th, which I reached in the game.
To get the 2nd level, 1,000 experience points are needed, now I have more than half, in the amount of 560 XP, if you add the points obtained during the execution. On the other hand, I had no idea how close I was to the 3rd level of a magician, in total, 3,000 XP is needed to level up to the 3rd, but I had no idea how much I currently have, besides these 500.
I took my hand out of Kyle's chest and his limp body sagged, taking some strange pose, as if he got drunk and fell asleep sitting on the floor.
I left the cage and told Ridd to clean up here. I was lost in my thoughts, leaving the casemates. The prospect of war has not pleased me at all yet, although it is very profitable for the winner, but the kingdom of the 2nd level will have to make VERY big sacrifices to defeat the kingdom of the 4th. Now we need to concentrate on raising the level of the kingdom and myself to the 3rd, we also need to launch the [Golden Age], but I'm already working on that. To raise the level of the kingdom, in addition to strong magicians and fighters, you need 4 more things, two of which can be done right during the war, but money and experience points of the kingdom are not so easy to get. Rather, I will most likely be able to earn a lot of money tomorrow, after the roundup of corrupt officials and gangs, but it's still not enough.
The experience points of the state were received at the end of each day, and the size depended on many factors, for example, on the volume of production by enterprises controlled by the crown, or on the number of crops harvested.(AN: I wanted to describe it in more detail, but nothing came into my head, because of this, the release of the chapter was delayed, but I could not come up with anything worthwhile and just wrote like this to release the chapter as soon as possible. Maybe I'll come up with it later, share your ideas, I want to make a non-banal kingdom pumping system.)
I felt exhausted, but there was one more thing — I needed to start training people recruited into a Special Squad. And since I took this task on myself, I will have to do it, I couldn't delegate it to Alex or Almeria right now — they are busy preparing for tomorrow's sweep.
I came to the parade ground, which was provided for the needs of the special squad, where I saw about 40 young guys who trained who how. Someone was running, someone was doing push-ups, someone was sparring, Karina was shooting arrows at targets two hundred meters away from herself and hit the bullseye, but she was aiming for too long, this needs to be corrected. I grabbed a practice bow that was lying on the edge of the playground and walked over to her. Without saying a word, I put three arrows on the bow and fired at the same time, with a whoosh, two arrows hit right in the bullseye, and one slightly went off course and landed a centimeter lower. But I didn't stop and again laid three arrows, this time all the arrows hit the top ten. But I didn't stop there either, and I repeated this action again, almost without stopping.
As a result, out of 30 arrows, 27 landed right in the center of the targets, but considering the manner in which I shot, the result was almost divine.
- You should work on speeding up your shooting. What is the point of accuracy, if during this time the enemy can already make his move and, for example, kill your allies?
I turned to the elf. She nodded, but still expressed her position.
- But accuracy is also important!
- That's right, TOO! But I believe that accuracy should be improved by training speed, a fast, but not accurate shot will make the enemy at least nervous, and as a maximum, such a shot should hit a hundred out of a hundred. Imagine a picture of a warrior rushing at you, using [Dash], and you are aiming at his heart or some other critical point, but he will tear you to pieces if you do not continuously suppress him with arrows. Out of ten such arrows, many can escape by, but a few will blow past or hit an enemy.
-But if I aim accurately fast enough, I can kill him with one arrow.
- Exactly! FAST enough! At the initial level of bow proficiency, speed is more important than accuracy, I will clarify that you will not hunt deer, but mainly participate in major armed conflicts. You just don't quite understand the specifics of this kind of fighting, you are elves, you use bows for hunting, and now you need to learn how to use a bow for war! You are talented and will quickly regain your accuracy, while increasing the speed many times if you follow my program for you. But more on that later, first I plan to do a general workout.
Karina nodded, and barked at the top of her voice.
- Form up! It takes 10 seconds to form a single line, the latecomers will run in a circle after training until morning!
The recruits didn't take their eyes off me after I came in and gave up what they were doing before. When I shouted the command, none of them dared to check whether I would really make them run in circles until morning, in a few seconds an even line was lined up in front of me, and what surprised me to some extent, even Karina hurried, standing at the head of the line.
- You are now a member of the special forces, it is a great honor, and you will receive the highest respect in our kingdom, but first you need to earn it! You have only four people who can teach you! Me, General Almeria, the Butler Alex and your General — Karina, I can swear that I am the most demanding and strict! First, I will transfer the aura technique to the fighters and the mana technique to a few magicians, and then your training will begin! Objections and whining are not accepted, everyone who has made a mistake is waiting for a real hell! Am I making myself clear?!
- Yes!
-Very clear, Your Majesty!
…
- You need to answer "That's right!"!
So began the training of the elite unit, which all of them will remember for a long time.
