Chapter 53: Mastering Feats
"Their foundations are weak; there's no need to rush them into intense training just yet. Let's focus on building up their health first..."
"At the same time, we need to emphasize the importance of contributing to the territory. The more they contribute, the more respected they will be, and the more recognition they'll receive from everyone..."
Matthew instructed Ralph, who looked at him with a hint of confusion, unable to help but ask:
"Lord Matthew, shouldn't we ensure that everyone remains loyal to you?"
Smiling slightly, Matthew reflected on his past and present experiences and replied in a deep voice:
"Loyalty isn't something you can demand or force through indoctrination. As long as I do better than any other lord, they'll naturally become my strongest supporters."
Steady and confident!
Ralph had noticed this before. Since coming to the territory, it seemed the mask that Lord Matthew had worn was gradually being removed.
Perhaps this was Matthew's true self—the confidence of a genius and the pride of an Arcanist.
Ralph grew even more excited. Every word from Matthew only revealed a glimpse of his wild ambitions, yet it was enough to fill him with motivation.
Adding to the daily goals!
As Ralph walked away, Matthew allowed a faint smile to creep across his face. He turned to Old John, standing guard nearby, and said:
"Bring Knight Angela here."
Poor Ralph. Loyalty isn't stolen or bought—it's born out of shared interests.
Fifteen minutes later.
In the private training grounds of the lord's estate, Angela, wielding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, was locked in combat with Old John.
Angela's talent was superior; she had received rigorous and complete training and had successfully become a knight.
Whether in commanding troops or individual combat, she was outstanding among 2nd-tier professionals.
However, when faced with Old John's experienced assaults, she was mainly on the defensive, only launching sharp counterattacks when opportunities arose to suppress Old John's continuous offensive.
Thanks to the experience gained from the recent battles, Old John had advanced to a 4th-tier warrior, giving him a clear advantage in the fight.
Matthew watched the two intently, carefully observing their attributes.
