I Become a Rogue Lord in a World Where Only I Level Up

*

Human resources are human resources. A commander cannot neglect his job, either.

After disbanding the centurion for a moment, I looked around from my unit.

No matter how good you are, you can't just say, "Hey, I'm here for you," right?

The troops were working according to a predetermined supply plan.

Although the supply base is located on top of the fortress, the soldiers live in the barracks so that they can withdraw at any time. The largest of these barracks was indeed the commander's barracks.

A place called the commander's barracks.

First of all, went to its commander's barracks, read the various documents and confirmed matters concerning the supply base.

Let's call it learning about supply units.

After spending half a day familiarizing myself with matters such as the current status of supplies in the supply base, I set out to scout the terrain.

Whether it's a surprise or a retreat, you need to know the terrain in order to be prepared for what happens.

If a commander gets upset without knowing the terrain, he will be ridiculed.

So you can't just look at a map. You have to see it with your own eyes.

The very person I chose to guide that reconnaissance was Yusen.

I also got a chance to do some reconnaissance and get to know Yusen's personality.

Two birds with one stone?

"From here to Bern and Ganen Castle. How many ways do you have to get to these two fronts?

"There are three paths: one that bypasses Linon Castle, one that goes through Linon Castle, and one that goes over the mountain you see to the east of the unit. However, climbing the mountain would still be difficult for soldiers to maneuver, so the only way to practically move around would be by way of Castle Linon and a detour.

There was nothing unusual about the surrounding terrain. It's not a terrain for ambushes. It was just a plain. Land that stretched as far as the eye could see. The troops were located on a hilltop with a clear enough view that the alert soldiers could immediately notice the enemy's surprise attack.

Okay. Let's take a look at that detour.

I'll get right on it. This way. Commander!

I rode my horse after Yusen, who was leading the pack. We rode for about 30 minutes, looking at the terrain without any conversation, and I could see a fairly wide river ahead of us. We had come a long way. I didn't want to get too far from my unit.

This much is the goal.

I changed directions to go home.

Of course, this reconnaissance has other purposes as well.

To that end, it's time to have the conversation.

What's your name?

My name is Yusen.

"Have you been in the military long?

I joined when I was a kid, so it's been more than 20 years now, I guess. Haha.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go into a fashion show or not. It's not that he was drafted, but he volunteered to become a professional soldier. Nowadays, conscription is actively practiced because of the war, but it is normally the case.

'Commander, get that!'

At that very moment, Yusen, who was scratching his head in embarrassment, pointed toward the north.

'There's an enemy on the detour!

The enemy?　If you're on the detour, it's the opposite direction I'm going. Surprised, I looked back and saw that there was indeed dust in the air. As it got closer and closer, I even began to hear the sound of horses' hooves.

'Those uniforms are common scouts!

I immediately identified the enemy forces in the system.

The number of soldiers was ten.

It was a scouting party made up of ordinary soldiers, as Jusen said.

'There are about ten of them. ....... Jusen, can you go?

"Of course!

Yusen's armed strength is a whopping 82. The armed strength of the soldier at the head of the reconnaissance team is 30.

That means there is no problem. The proof of this is that when Yusen rushed out towards the enemy army, he easily cut down the enemy soldiers.

The enemy soldiers falling from their horses.

And two...three...four.

In the blink of an eye, Yusen had cleared eight enemy soldiers.

'Take at least one of them alive!　I'm just trying to get information.

An enemy soldier captured alive is a source of information.

I ordered them all to be taken alive, because they would all be cut down so easily if I didn't, I ordered them to be taken alive.

A scouting party comes riding in single file at intervals. Only two of them were left.

'Surrender!　Surrender and I'll save your life!

Jusen shouted loud enough for even the most backward running enemy soldiers to hear. But the ninth soldier would not listen to him. Without slowing down, he lifted his sword with one hand.

Rather, it was the soldier at the back who responded to Yusen's voice.

When he stopped his horse with an unaccustomed hand at the words to surrender, the soldier fell to the ground because the horse raised its front legs high while whining.

He was in too bad a position when he fell. At that rate, at least a broken bone.

Kaaaaan!

I was looking at you, then!

The ninth soldier's sword crossed with Yusen's sword.

The sound of iron and steel colliding.

Naturally, it would be Yusen who would win.

The moment I averted my gaze while thinking that.

The moment I avert my gaze, Yusen's sword has been flicked off. The sword is flying through the air and leaping up into the sky. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

An unexpected anomaly.

Startled, he immediately rushed to Yusen's side.

[Do you want to use the benefits?]

Impossible. Yusen, with 82 arms, falls from his horse to the blow of a common soldier?

It was not something that could happen by chance.

The enemy's sword tumbled to the ground, heading for Jusen.

A moment of desperation.

[Jint]

Age: 21 years]

Armed Forces: 93]

Intelligence: 41]

Conducting: 52]

I was surprised again to see the enemy's ability value.

I was almost giddy with surprise.

It was on a different level from the other scouting soldiers. No, it was an armed force that exceeded his imagination.

Moreover, he was 21 years old. He is at an age with great potential for growth.

In terms of military strength, he was a mere soldier, even though his military strength could be considered one of the ten generals of Naruya.

Is he a common soldier who was drafted from farming to join the army?

Then it's possible that you won't even notice that tremendous military power.

Because there's no one else who can see their abilities as a number like I can!

An enemy soldier moves to kill Yusen, who has fallen off his horse.

If they don't, Yusen will die.

There's only one way anyway.

With a force of 93, it's stronger than my force using the privilege.

"Halt!

I invoked [Crushing] without hesitation.

Datong Ren's Weapon Skill [Crushing]!

An absolute skill that allows you to choose to kill or stun anyone with up to +5 force value than me.

He chose to faint because he couldn't just kill this attractive person.

At that moment, a flash of light flashed through Datonglian.

With the flash, Datonglian flew out and reached Jinto in an instant.

Zinto tried to dispel Datsuren with his sword, but numerically it was impossible to do so.

The system is absolute.

No, it must be absolute!

I watched the results with strong conviction.

The moment the swords intersected with each other, a dazzling white light covered the surroundings.

When the light disappeared, what was left was a stabbing Datonglian on the ground and a fearsome enemy soldier of military strength who had fallen off his horse and was unconscious.

I ran up to the enemy soldier and confirmed that he was unconscious.

No problem.

Definite stunned!

The problem would be the duration of the stunting effect.

Stunting is one of the functions of [crushing]. If you wake up right away, it's useless. If he regains consciousness and the fight resumes, he will have simply wasted [shredding].

Guessing that there would be some time, I first rushed to Yusen's side and got off my horse and reached out my hand.

''Yusen, are you alright!''

The commander ....... Thank you for helping such uselessness!

I rushed over to lend a hand, but Yusen rather knelt down.

He said, "It's only natural to save your men. I can't believe you're useless. The way I see it, you're strong enough. The problem is the enemy soldiers. He was unusually strong.

It is indeed embarrassingly ....... My body was bounced off the ground in one shot. Hahaha.

Youssen looked frustrated, biting his lips while acknowledging the strength of the enemy soldiers.

It's a good thing I didn't die. How do you feel, can you walk?

"Yes. Somehow.

Yusen replied while walking lightly.

I'm not going to be able to tell the difference. I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

I'm not going to be able to say that they were stunned by the crushing of enemy soldiers.

Try riding a horse. You have to use every muscle in your body to ride a horse. If there's a problem somewhere in your body, you'll know right away.

Hearing my words, Yusen got on his horse. And nodded.

No problem!

That's good to hear. Good, now do me a favor. I'm going to take the one that fell off the horse and the one that I knocked unconscious, and I'm going to take them both alive. I want you to go back to your unit and get the chains and handcuffs. I want you to go back to your unit and bring a cart for us to carry and some soldiers as well.

"Do you mean to wait here alone for your commander?　Don't do it. Come back with me. I'll come back here to capture them and their soldiers!

No. I don't want you to wake up and run away. You don't want him to wake up and run off in the meantime. You'd better keep an eye on him. Come on, let's go.

That's right ....... Well, I'll be there as soon as I can!

As such, he left and I hid myself in the right place.

I don't want that guy named Jinto to wake up. I still have some time left on the benefits, but I'll have to wait five hours to use crushing again.

As I waited, I checked the level up, but there was no change. After all, the level did not always increase after a battle. The criterion for experience is the death of the enemy. That means you can't increase your experience level by feeling like you're practicing. Well, that would be true. Because if you can gain experience just by stunting them, you can level up by stunting Jinto and waking him up.

There's no way I'd let that happen.
