Meanwhile, the military strength has increased quite a bit. During this time when the group scouted, they had found a few lairs of beasts, and the Elders took turns to go and hunt, and over time their strength increased. The Elders had all advanced to level three Squire (Tier 2). Over time they had to fight, the Elders were the only ones who could fight against the Dire Novices (Tier 2) so their speed was much faster than the rest, although there were more Dire Cubs (Tier 1).
The other knights had to deal with and share the experience of killing the beasts below, but overall, their progress was also quite good. In three weeks, the military strength had gone up and it looked as follows:
Five Level 3 Squires (Tier 2)
Six level 1 Squires (Tier 2)
Seven Peak stage Man-at-arms (Tier 1)
Thirteen Late-stage Man-at-arms (Tier 1)
Five Mid-stage Man-at-arms (Tier 1)
