One Punch Guard Training Method

[Please choose—]

[1. Agree to Ron's request, selecting several guards to form an elite team to enter the rift.]

[2. Oppose Ron's request, requiring him to stay by your side as your personal guard.]

[3. Do not respond, neither supporting nor hindering Ron, allowing him to act independently based on the simulation.]

Seeing the text on the screen, Bronya's eyes were filled with confusion.

Clearing the rift creatures? Why would Ron choose this in the simulation this time?

The dangers of venturing into the rift are well known... Even as a Pathstrider under the Amber King's protection, she struggled immensely in the rift, barely making progress.

Trying to penetrate the rift, even with an army of Silvermane Guards, would be extremely cautious and almost impossible to win...

In the last simulation, it was evident that Ron was just an ordinary person in terms of combat.

Taking her blue and white card subordinates into the rift would likely result in them being overwhelmed by rift creatures and completely annihilated.

Bronya's finger froze over the screen text.

Before starting this simulation, she had resolved to do nothing, fully supporting Ron's choices and following his lead.

But this request...

After a long hesitation, she finally moved her finger and clicked on the first option.

Although she didn't understand why Ron wanted to venture into the rift, Ron's abilities had already been proven in the last simulation. There must be a deeper reason for his actions.

For now, she decided to fully support Ron...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ron smiled brightly:

"Great, I didn't expect Bronya to actually give me the authority to lead a team into the rift..."

"With Duck trusting me this much, I have to carry this game!"

"As long as I gain enough combat and leadership experience, Cocolia will be easy to handle."

Ron had already made his plan—

The last simulation revealed that in the future, Cocolia would be lured into the rift by the Stellaron and only return after being assimilated by it.

Getting Bronya to agree to a coup required two full years of raising favorability—by the time it was raised, Cocolia would already be in the rift, making the coup pointless.

As long as Bronya didn't follow her mother into the rift, the position of High Guardian would naturally be hers.

So, the two years could be spent in a different direction.

Ron looked at the text on the screen and the blue character cards joining his team, full of confidence in his next steps.

[Bronya carefully selected several experienced guards to join your team.]

[You gave a speech before them, swearing to protect Belobog and cleanse the rift.]

[Inspired by you, their morale increased.]

[You led the team into the rift for the first time.]

...

[Your personal guard Ron thoroughly cleared the edge passage, defeating 710 rift creatures.]

[Ron's team gained combat experience, and Ron's leadership experience increased significantly.]

Seeing the text on the screen, Bronya's eyes widened slightly.

She had thought Ron was only an intellectual talent; after all, he had died to the Guardian's shadow in the last simulation without even becoming a Pathstrider, just an ordinary person...

But in this simulation, Ron took a different path, showcasing incredible combat strength.

Though Captain Jepard led the main force of the Guards to the front lines, carefully clearing the path of rift creatures, ensuring no twisted life remained, this was still the rift.

Defeated creatures would reconstruct their bodies after some time, and over the past year, many rift creatures had accumulated outside the logistics area.

Yet Ron, with just five men, including a few veterans who had seen battle twice at most, completely cleared the rift creatures from the edge passage and the suburban snowfield...

Now, on Bronya's panoramic map, there wasn't a single red dot representing enemies around Belobog, only the blue dots of Ron's team, like a paintbrush, coloring the map.

The red around Belobog was replaced entirely by the safe blue.

[After a year of deep rift operations, your personal guard Ron, leveraging his combat experience, developed a new training method.]

[He compiled the military tactics into a book and handed it to you.]

[You obtained the item: "Iron Fist Guard Training Manual."]

A book with a radiant purple glow appeared on the screen, titled "Iron Fist Guard Training Manual."

Curious, Bronya clicked on the book, bringing up a selection window:

[Please choose—]

[1. Promote this training manual.]

[2. Destroy this training manual.]

Why destroy it? Despite its strange name, the purple glow indicated it wasn't an ordinary training manual...

Ignoring the second option, Bronya clicked on the first.

The text on the screen continued to update:

[You praised the "Iron Fist Guard Training Manual" and promoted it widely in the logistics area.]

[The Guards in the logistics area adopted the new training methods, resonating with its teachings.]

[They understood that offense is the best defense, and the Path of Destruction called to them.]

[But under the Amber King's brief glance, they all walked the Path of Preservation.]

[Your favorability towards Ron increased, and your trust in him significantly improved.]

What exactly did this manual contain to earn the Amber King's blessing and lead the Guards onto the Path of Preservation...

Bronya was slightly stunned by the text on the screen, feeling an immense sense of unreality.

Although she had become a Pathstrider, she had only recently embarked on that path, gradually influenced by the Builders and Cocolia, finally glimpsing the golden headless giant in her dreams...

But this training manual did more than guide the Guards onto the Path; it truly caught the Amber King's attention!

Even just a brief glance from a Stellaron was something extraordinary...

While Bronya was still in a daze, the text on the screen changed again.

[Prolonged incursions into the rift have provoked a response, with lost motes of light transforming into cold phantoms along with grains of memory.]

[Under the Stellaron's deliberate manipulation, the rift at the edge drained all its imaginary energy, sending endless rift creatures surging towards the gates.]

[Records indicate that the last time facing such an assault, the thirteenth High Guardian mobilized all the Silvermane Guards in the city.]

[After a bloody battle, the Guards left behind thirty percent of their bodies and abandoned the outskirts of Belobog, barely maintaining the defense line.]

A new scene appeared on Bronya's panoramic map.

Dense dark red colors surged like a broken dam, rushing towards the gates.
