However, since then...
He obeyed his young master Arthur's orders and used waveguides to send a certain amount of life force to Vivi every day to ensure that the girl's vital signs remained stable.
Spending more time with this girl who seemed aloof at first glance...
Leon, the old butler who had no children or grandchildren, found Vivi to be very well-behaved and obedient, so he gradually began to treat her as his own granddaughter.
Therefore, he showed unusual concern when he heard about Weiwei's abnormal spiritual condition.
Come back to the present moment.
Arthur sensed the particular worry in the butler Leon's tone, so he tried to comfort him:
"Butler Leon, at the alchemist Merlin's residence, we also unexpectedly met the legendary Lady of the Lake, who helped us prevent Vivi's body from being 'mutated'."
"As long as Mr. Merlin can separate Vivi's soul and transfer it back to her body, it won't be difficult."
He paused, then continued:
"However, this process is quite complicated and requires some time to complete."
That's why I temporarily settled them at the alchemist Merlin's residence.
After hearing this, Lawson, the Badger Knight, and his butler Leon exchanged glances.
Now they understand why Arthur returned alone.
After recounting what happened at the alchemist Merlin's residence.
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, for he could finally carry out his true purpose in summoning the two men.
He first looked at Leon, the butler, who was in the second seat on his left:
"Butler Leon, Blackrock Territory has successfully weathered this crisis caused by the demon bandits, and it is precisely the time when it urgently needs to develop."
Currently, the houses, buildings, streets, and roads in Shuangya Town have all suffered some degree of damage.
Therefore, I need you to guide our people to first restore Frostraven Town to its former glory.
"Understood, young master!"
Upon hearing this, the butler Leon straightened his back and nodded in acknowledgment.
"In addition, I have an important task for you to do."
Arthur continued to assign tasks to this capable butler:
"That means cleaning up the battlefield and collecting all the corpses of the bandits we killed."
These bandits were our most important achievement in this battle, especially those few incredibly powerful black-armored knights and demonic beings.
The bodies of these people must be preserved.
"Young master, rest assured, I haven't forgotten this bandit scourge, which is on a bounty of level three. The order to subdue them was issued by that Earl of the North."
Butler Leon immediately understood his meaning and replied:
"We just need to preserve the results of this battle and then report to the Earl of the North."
At that time, a meeting with the Earl of the North will grant you the promised bounty.
"Well, that's right!"
Arthur nodded, then looked at Lawson, the Thunder Badger Knight, in his right-hand seat:
“Mr. Lawson, I also have a very important task for you.”
"My lord, please speak freely."
Lawson was also very straightforward, waving his hand at him without any hesitation.
So Arthur continued:
"I need you to go to Linfeng Village and take charge of that large forging workshop again."
"Quickly restart the furnace to replenish the large amount of war supplies we've consumed in this battle."
Chapter 123 Black Rock Territory is thriving
"Understood, my lord!"
Lawson, imitating his butler Leon, readily agreed.
After experiencing the Battle of Blackrock Territory together.
This mid-level Silver Rank knight was completely convinced of Arthur's abilities and had no more doubts whatsoever.
Of course, more importantly.
Arthur's attitude towards his beloved granddaughter, Lani.
This young lord, who was both impetuous and exceptionally composed, finally changed his attitude after that conversation in Linfeng Village and stopped deliberately avoiding his beloved granddaughter.
This greatly changed his opinion of Arthur.
Returning to Arthur's perspective.
[Raymond Knight Lawson's loyalty has been increased to 60 (firm choice).]
[Note: Deploying units with high loyalty will increase the blessing effects gained from the host's protection and also increase the protection experience gained by the host.]
When Lawson agreed, the cold voice of the Knight Lord System suddenly echoed in his mind again.
His voice was cold, but the message he conveyed surprised and delighted him.
Because, all along.
Cultivating highly loyal subordinates is the core of Arthur's efforts to develop his territory's power.
By subduing the highly loyal Gawain and Lancelot, he gained two powerful buffs: Lv.2 "Blessing of Mercy" and Lv.2 "Blessing of the Soul".
Among them, "Blessing of Mercy" can be upgraded from Lv.1 to Lv.2, which is achieved by relying on the experience he receives when fighting alongside his units.
Lawson, the Thunder Badger Knight, is now the fourth subordinate in his deployment list with a loyalty rating over 60.
The three people preceding him were, of course:
Butler Leon, loyalty level 75 (deeply committed);
Gawain, the owner of Knight's Heart, has a loyalty level of 72 (deep identification).
Lancelot, the owner of the Knight's Heart, has a loyalty level of 77 (deep identification).
Arthur knew that he couldn't just focus on increasing Gawain and Lancelot's loyalty; he also had to pay attention to the loyalty of his more ordinary subordinates.
What he needs to do next is related to this.
Back to the present.
After assigning the two Silver-ranked knights their respective territorial development tasks.
Arthur also stood up from his seat.
Then, he stretched out his hand, palm down, and placed it in front of the butler Leon and the badger knight Lawson.
The two old comrades, who had known each other for many years, exchanged a glance, understood each other perfectly, and quickly grasped his intention.
So they stood up from their seats at the appropriate time.
And, in the same gesture, he extended one hand.
And when the three people crossed and overlapped their hands in mid-air.
Arthur smiled knowingly:
Please allow me to address you both as seniors.
"Let us create the future of Blackrock Territory!"
-----------------
half a month later.
noon.
The perspective shifts to the lord's manor in Blackrock Territory.
Looking down from a high altitude.
This once complete lord's manor has now been divided into three parts:
The largest section retains its original building scale, encompassing the lord's courtyard, main residence and servants' quarters, warehouses and other basic facilities.
The smallest piece of land was paved with foundation, and various unused building materials were piled up around it.
The central plot of land, which was originally used for growing crops, has been completely transformed, and a huge stone monument over ten meters high has been erected there.
Behind this huge stone monument are rows of neatly planned mausoleums.
This is clearly a newly built cemetery.
Focus your attention on this huge stone tablet.
Inscribed on it are seemingly ordinary names, yet they record their heroic deeds:
Paul Kruger was born in Sandstone Village and died in the Battle of Blackrock Territory.
Ali Vino was born in Rinfeng Village and died in the Battle of Blackrock Territory.
......
The young Blackrock Lord Arthur stood on the platform in front of this huge stone monument.
Below the massive stone monument stood two hundred and ten young men from the Black Rock Territory.
They all stood upright, heads held high, looking at Arthur with awe.
When countless eyes were focused on Arthur.
He stood tall and proud, displaying the dignified bearing of a lord.
After a brief silence.
Arthur finally erupted, unleashing a surge of passionate power in his voice:
"New recruits of Blackrock Territory, today we gather before this solemn cemetery to commemorate the sixty-three comrades who bravely sacrificed their lives in the defense of Blackrock Territory."
"They defended our homeland with their blood and lives. Their names will be remembered forever, and their deeds will be passed down from generation to generation."
"And you are the backbone of Blackrock Territory, the hope for the future."
"Today, this land is at peace because of their sacrifice, and it is filled with strength because of your presence."
"I believe that their spirit will serve as a beacon for us to move forward, illuminating our path to protect our homeland."
"From now on, every expedition and every act of perseverance will be a tribute to and commemoration of them."
"Let us take them as our role models, shoulder the responsibility of protecting Blackrock Territory, and make their sacrifices more meaningful through our actions."
"For the glory of Blackrock Territory, and to live up to the sacrifice of these sixty-three heroic spirits, let us follow in their footsteps, continue our journey, and protect this land forever!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud voice rang out from the crowd:
"Fight to protect Blackrock Territory!"
Then, even more people shouted:
"Fight to protect Blackrock Territory!"
"Fight to protect Blackrock Territory!"
"Fight to protect Blackrock Territory!"
Their voices, like layers of surging waves, instantly resounded throughout the originally solemn cemetery.
Standing on the stage, Arthur watched this scene with great satisfaction.
This past half month.
He divided his valuable estate into three areas—large, medium, and small—and made new plans.
The largest area, encompassing courtyards, warehouses, servants' quarters, and other buildings, continued to serve as his residence as the Lord of Blackrock.
The middle section was used to build this cemetery to bury the soldiers who died in the Battle of Blackrock Territory.
After the Battle of Blackrock Territory ended, he prioritized the task of moving the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
