-----
Some years later.
Arthur, the Knight King of the Kingdom of Gran, Lord of the Knights of the Round Table, Agent of the Will of Avalon, and Head of the Alliance of All Races, declared:
"I have an ideal: that this land will be free from oppression, and that slavery and the buying and selling of prostitutes will be completely abolished."
"I have an ideal: that this land will be free from injustice, that everyone will be born equal, and enjoy the same rights and obligations."
"I have an ideal: that this land will no longer be barren, that we will provide work relief, distribute land equally to promote industry, and that our people will be prosperous."

Chapter 1 Lord of the Frontier
Grand Continent.
In the ninth month of winter in the year 777 of the Ether calendar.
The North, Blackrock Territory, Frostraventown.
Today is the day the new lord takes office.
"Residents of the North, citizens of Blackrock Territory!"
"From this day forward, I, Arthur Field, officially assume the position of Lord of Blackrock."
"In the honor of the Field family, I hereby pledge to protect all the people of Blackrock Territory with my life."
"I guarantee it will be done within three years."
"I will repair the water conservancy, introduce improved varieties, and teach farming techniques. Within three years, I will double the grain production to relieve the hunger of my people."
"I will repair the roads, build bridges, and unblock trade routes so that commerce can flourish again and wealth can gather in our people."
"I will expand the patrols, severely punish the wicked, and let my people sleep in peace."

[The host speaks with the people of the territory on an equal footing, making them feel the "humility" of chivalry. However, more than 90% of the common people question the veracity of the host's promises. Virtue Points +5.]
As Arthur finished his succession speech, a cold voice echoed in his mind.
He is a transmigrator, reborn as a fallen noble family in the North.
In the process of growing and learning.
Arthur realizes that this is a medieval fantasy world dominated by swords and magic.
Humans coexist with alien races, monsters, and legendary creatures.
Half a month ago.
His father, the old lord Richard, suffered a relapse of his old illness.
Knowing his days were numbered, Richard, on his deathbed, gave him the hereditary title of viscount and Blackrock Territory as a gift for his eighteenth birthday.
Upon inheriting the title of Viscount, he awakened a belated cheat code: the Knight Lord System.
[Host: Arthur.]
[Occupation: Knight]
[Rank: Apprentice Knight (50/100)]
[Territory: Blackrock Territory.]
Virtue Points: 150.
[Status: Protection without virtue; blessing without virtue.]
Arthur discovers that he can earn virtue points from the people of his territory by practicing the eight virtues of knighthood, and then exchange these points for powerful blessings and protection.
The eight virtues of chivalry correspond to eight different blessings and protections.
Such as:
[The Blessing of Humility: The power of inner strength forges a resilient body, permanently increasing the efficiency of breathing techniques and combat skills.]
【Blessing of Humility: Level Lv.1, consumes 100 Virtue Points, increases the efficiency of Knight's Breathing Technique by 100% and the training speed of Combat Skills by 50%, lasting for three days.】
This shows the difference between the two.
Protection is permanent, but blessings are temporary.
Back to the present.
Through this succession presentation, Arthur became even more certain of one thing.
The acquisition of Virtue Points is strongly correlated with the loyalty of the people in his territory to him.
The Blackrock Territory he succeeded to was a rather mediocre border region in the northern part of the Grey Kingdom.
It covers an area of over 300 square kilometers and is famous for producing a mineral called "Mo Jing Mine" which contains a unique energy.
However, although his territory appears to be larger than that of a typical viscountry, nearly 40% of it remains uninhabited and undeveloped due to its harsh surrounding environment.
First, there is the western two-tenths of Blackrock Territory, known as the "Western Wasteland."
Nearby is a monster forest, the outer perimeter of which is inhabited by many dangerous monster species;
Secondly, there is the northern two-tenths of Blackrock Territory, known as the "Northern Wasteland."
Connected to the Cold Ridge Mountains, the climate is extremely harsh, rendering the land unusable and making human survival difficult.
Since Arthur became aware of this world, these two wastelands have remained undeveloped and uninhabited.
Therefore, the actual territory of Blackrock Territory, which he controlled, was almost the same size as that of an ordinary baronial territory.
Besides.
Through his loyal butler, Leon, he learned more about the specific situation since Richard took over Blackrock Territory.
It turns out, many years ago...
When Lord Richard was young, he was a man of great status.
He is the esteemed eighth prince of the Kingdom of Grey.
However, he lost the "battle for the throne" that year and was exiled to Blackrock Territory in the north.
Richard, who was once proud and arrogant, felt disheartened after arriving in Blackrock Territory.
Therefore, he almost completely ignored the affairs of his territory, allowing the common people under his command to develop freely.
Therefore, the common people in the territory had very low loyalty to his son, Arthur, who succeeded him as the new lord.
They felt more awe and reverence for these high-ranking noblemen.
Perhaps, it won't take half a day.
They will forget Arthur's impassioned speech and promises while they work in the fields.
But Arthur, who possesses the Knight Lord system, will not forget the promises he made to them.
This was only the first step in establishing a relationship of loyalty with the people of his territory.
Next.
All he has to do is fulfill his promises and deliver results.
He understood that only in this way could he gain the approval of the people in his territory, acquire more virtue points, and thus continuously grow stronger.
-----------------
After the presentation, we arrived at Black Rock Castle.
Arthur and his butler Leon officially moved into the magnificent and sturdy castle.
Enter the office lobby.
He sat in the main seat and asked the butler, Leon:
What is the current situation in the kingdom?
"Young master, a major event has recently occurred. The royal city is completely sealed off, and no one can enter or leave without royal permission."
Is a new round of "battle for the throne" about to begin?
After hearing this, he deduced from the timeline and connected it to the exile of his elderly father, Richard.
Therefore, he had a premonition that war might break out on this land again.
Next.
New information from the butler, Leon, further confirmed his suspicions:
"After the capital was sealed off, the four border lordships of the kingdom, in the east, west, south, and north, seemed to have begun to recruit soldiers and horses in a big way."
Currently, the Earl of the North, under the pretext of eradicating the invading tribes of the Frostridge Mountains, has allied with seven neighboring baronies, and their military is formidable.
"Ok?"
Arthur understood the implication in Leon's words, but he didn't expect the count in the North to act so quickly.
It is said that the Earl of the North is also a young hereditary title holder.
It will likely be long before the new count takes notice of him, the new lord of this frontier region.
"It seems that the training pace of the new Blackrock Territory regiment needs to be accelerated further; the strengthening of military power is of utmost urgency!"
In the two weeks since inheriting the viscountry.
The first thing he did was to recruit 150 young men from Blackrock Territory with generous conscription conditions, forming the first militia regiment under his command.
His butler, Leon, guided and trained the new recruits, and he himself participated in the training.
He led by example, conducting rigorous physical and tactical training alongside the new recruits.
This move shattered their stereotypes about aristocratic gentlemen.
The 150 virtue points he currently possesses were primarily earned through practicing "humility" and "fairness," two of the eight virtues of chivalry, during recruit training.
Currently.
Arthur carefully assessed the military strength of Blackrock Territory:
In addition to the newly formed militia of 150, he also had a squire knight guard of 10 men, led by his butler Leon as the captain of the guard.
In this world, knights are a profession within an extraordinary system.
Knights can cultivate special breathing techniques to strengthen their physical body and soul.
The Knight's Breathing Technique is divided into five tiers based on its growth potential:
Superficial, ordinary, excellent, outstanding, perfect.
Arthur's family, the Field family, traces its lineage back to a branch of the current Grey royal family.
One of the key foundations of the Grey royal family is a set of knight breathing techniques of exceptional quality.
However, after his father Richard was exiled, the Grey royal family made it clear that he had changed his family identity, so he is now completely independent.
According to his butler, Leon, the loss of royal honor was a major factor in his father Richard's decline and eventual death.
and so.
Richard, the ashamed father of Arthur's only son, did not teach him the Grey royal family's superior knightly breathing technique.
Instead, when he completed his physical tempering at the age of sixteen, he was given a set of excellent knight breathing techniques, the "Flame Lion Breathing Technique".
