Zhengliang was very satisfied with the morale of his troops. After arranging for Kudo Masahide to lead the training, he immediately returned to his residence. He planned to upgrade his own skills before the battle. From the morning battle with the wild boars, Zhengliang found that his experience had increased to 1280. Originally, he intended to save the experience and wait until he had more to learn a more advanced skill, but with the bandits about to attack, he had to quickly use this limited experience to boost his strength.
First, Zhengliang upgraded the sword skill "Kirioroshi" to Advanced, which cost 1150 experience (Intermediate requires 550 experience, Advanced requires 600 experience, and each level requires a Strength attribute of 70 or higher). Next, he upgraded the sword skill "Sorei-to" to Intermediate (Intermediate requires 100 experience and a Strength attribute of 60 or higher). Finally, he had 30 experience left.

Title: Swordsman
After upgrading his skills, Zhengliang picked up his katana, pushed open the small wooden door, and walked towards a small forest beside the village. To better perform the newly upgraded skills in battle, he needed to practice and adapt. This small forest was where Zhengliang usually practiced his combat skills alone.
......
While the village at the foot of Mount Yama was bustling with preparations, the bandit stronghold on Mount Yama was relaxed.
"Sir, Banishi Sasuke claims his father is seriously ill and cannot spare the time, so he will not participate in this attack on the village below," a thin man bowed to a bearded giant sitting at the head of the hall, his face full of disdain.
"Ha ha ha, I never thought Banishi Dairo would have such a cowardly son, who hasn't even learned a tenth of his father's skills," the bearded giant laughed. The others echoed his laughter.
"How is Banishi Dairo now?" The bearded giant raised his hand to signal for silence and then continued to ask.
"Sir, according to the news from inside, that guy hasn't woken up yet, and he's probably on his last legs," the thin man replied.
"Sir, why don't we just cut them down? Why wait for him to die slowly? That would be much more satisfying," someone immediately suggested loudly.
"Fool, if you kill them, what will the others who haven't joined us think? Besides, they have 5 or 6 very strong characters. If we fight, even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses. Don't forget, the gang on Mount Jōga is always looking for a chance to吞并我们。现在板石左三郎他们推说山下村子出了个厉害角色。哼，等这次我们将山下那个村子铲除后，看他们还怎么说。”胡须大汉大骂道。
“啊，大人英明，大人英明。”众人又再次拍马屁。
“嘿嘿，大人这次将山下那村子铲除后，他们只能乖乖低头承认大人的头领地位了吧？”瘦子阴笑道。
“是啊，他们不是老是说山下出了个魔鬼吗？板石大郎都打不赢的魔鬼，最后却被我们大人铲除了，这样他们该死心了，哈哈哈。”立即又有人附和道。
“说起来真可笑啊，竟然说是山下村子出了个魔鬼，哈哈哈，竟然找了个如此幼稚的借口。”众人大笑。
“肯定又是去打劫一只肥羊了，估计板石大郎这家伙得意忘形下中了埋伏了。哈哈哈，想起他们那晚回来的狼狈样子就想大笑啊。”
“不过，这几年板石大郎那家伙一直占着山寨的宝库，一直只有他吃肉，我们连口汤也没得喝。”一个家伙愤愤不平地大叫道。众人一致附和赞同，想起那个宝库，所有的人立即两眼放光。
“哈哈”胡须大汉环视了一下四周，发现所有人都露出了贪婪的眼神，立即大笑道，“等我坐了首领位置，就把那宝库分了，大家都有份。”
“啊！谢谢大人”众人一阵惊呼，仿佛宝物已经到了他们手上一样，连声感谢胡须大汉。
“嘿嘿，想起宝藏，就让人想起那个白痴板石左三郎啊，竟然真的没有去搭救幸助那可怜的家伙”瘦子有一阵阴笑。
“嗯？对了，太郎，那帮家伙答应了没有”胡须大汉仿佛被瘦子提醒起了什么，对着身边的一个扎着月代头的家伙问道。
“父亲大人，由于看到板石左三郎的无情无义，已经有八个人打算加入到我们这一边了”，月代头躬身回答道。
“啊？”人群传来一阵惊呼，“恭喜大人”。
“哈哈哈”看到下面众人的表情，胡须大汉心中非常舒畅，其实他早就知道又有板石左三郎一方的人加入到了自己阵营中，只不过是跟自己儿子故意导演这一幕罢了，为的就是映衬出自己的如日中天。
“忠次郎那帮家伙还没有下决心吗？”胡须大汉继续问道。
“是的，父亲大人，他们表示到时那方是首领就会听从那方的，现在他们都已经各自回到寨外的家中了”月代头冷笑着答道。
“哼，这帮墙头草，算了，只要他们这个时候不出来碍手碍脚，到时候听从号令就可以了”胡须大汉冷笑一声，然后说道。
“大人，幸助那家伙下去整整一天了，现在还没回来，不会是跑了吧？”这个时候，一旁的瘦子突然道。
“嘿嘿，跑了更好，跑了他的婆娘以及女儿就归我们了”，下面顿时有人大叫道。
“你不怕板石左三郎找你算账吗，幸助的女儿可是他的未过门的侧姬啊”顿时又有人调侃道。
“好了”胡须大汉大喝一声，“事情没办好前，谁也不要去动那娘儿俩，事情办好后，谁的功劳大，就归谁了”。
“嗷！大人万岁！”下面的人顿时沸腾了。
“大人，虽然只是个村子，但是不是再派人下去查探下呢？”瘦子继续建议道。
“嗯，也好，谁愿意下去再查探下？顺便看看幸助那家伙死了没有”，胡须大汉赞同道。
“父亲大人，孩儿愿意前往，孩儿一定出色完成任务”月代头立即自告奋勇道，这回一定要抢个首功，这样那一对母女就归自己了，想想她们的身段，月代头不禁吞了吞口水。
“你？嗯，好，多带几个人，查探后就赶紧回来”胡须大汉本来是打算派瘦子前去的，不过想想正好利用这没有什么危险的任务锻炼下自己的儿子，所以最终还是答应了。
“是，父亲大人”月代头向着胡须大汉躬身一礼。第二天早晨，月代头点起9个人，一行10人就浩浩荡荡地向山下奔去。大概半个时辰后，众人来到了一条小路前。一个身材矮小的家伙指着面前的这条小路对着月代头说道，“殿下，沿着这条小路大概走半小时就到那个村子了；另外再往那边走入一点会有一条小溪，沿着那条小溪左岸的树林走上大概半个时辰，也可以到达那个町子的。”
“嗯，很好，传令下去，我们到那边的小溪休息，中午就在那边吃饭，晚上再行动”月代头命令道。
“啊？殿下，我们不是要查探村子的情况吗？”矮子连忙问道。
“不，松三，我们直接将那个村子铲除了”月代头满怀信心地说道。但凭一个查看情况功劳如何能跟直接铲除村子的功劳相比较呢？昨晚申请任务的时候，月代头就有了早上提前对村子发动攻击的想法。
“啊？殿下，这...”松三被月代头的打算吓坏了。这可是跟他叔父临行前交代的命令完全不一样啊。
“嗯？松三，难道你认为10个人也打不过那些面黄肌瘦的秽民？又或者是你在质疑我的命令？”月代头为第一次独自带领队伍就受到部下的质疑而感到很不满，双眼充满了杀机。
“啊！不...不是，殿下”感受到了对方的杀机，松三连忙跪下赔罪。
“哼，传我命令，今天中午在那边小溪边吃午饭，下午休息好，傍晚我们攻击町子。抢到的东西都归你们”月代头冷哼一声，然后对着身后的众山贼大喊道。
“嗷！”山贼欢呼了起来。
“好，现在出发”月代头一声令下，山贼开始往小溪方向转移。松三虽然极度不愿意，但形势所逼，只能跑到前面继续乖乖带路了。
在山贼走后不到半盏茶的时间，山贼刚才休息的地方旁边的树林的一棵大树上跳下来两人，其中一个赫然就是村子的老猎人新三。“五郎，你立即回去通知领主大人，我继续在这里监视”，新三向山贼远去的方向看了看，然后对旁边的一个13岁左右的男孩说道。
“是的，父亲大人”新五郎行了一礼后，立即沿着小路向村子跑去。新三则重新爬上了另一棵大树上。
