Grand Duke West Wind

As it turns out...

Starting as a serf, it's really hard to succeed without cheating.

When he was a serf named Di Er, he had no Transcendent Talent and his status was extremely low. To Transcendence the limitations of his time and the Level system of feudal society was tantamount to climbing to heaven.

The second life was slightly better.

However, starting as a commoner without any luck, even with Jiang Yuu's combat Talent, relying entirely on himself, he could only reach the lowest rank of Knight.

Fortunately, his second incarnation laid the foundation for his third.

He also realized his cheat ability: rebirth.

However, he has not yet determined whether his next life will still have an impact on his current life.

I'll understand once more after this one lifetime of experimentation.

As the Swordsmanship champion of Blue Star, Randy Red Maple never lacks perseverance and fighting spirit.

Now that he's not even afraid of death, what else could he possibly fear?

At the age of five.

Lan Nuo Red Maple tested his Transcendent Talent, and as he had guessed, his Knight Talent was only average among nobles of the same Level, which was not in vain since his family had been improving their bloodline aptitude through intermarriage for hundreds of years.

At the age of ten.

Lan Nuo Red Maple then became Formal Knight.

However, although he is the legitimate son of the current Count Red Maple, he has an older brother.

In the future, inheriting Red Maple Domain is unlikely; one can only develop it on one's own.

He began planning and strategizing for this well in advance.

His parents and brother were surprisingly supportive after learning of his plans.

They not only provide manpower and money when needed, but are also willing to go to great lengths for him.

Such strong support stemmed not only from the fact that he was indeed the countess's biological son and the younger brother of the count's heir, but also, and perhaps more importantly, from the prevailing aristocratic mindset.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. At the same time, expand the family's influence. Even if he only becomes a minor baron when he goes out, it will still strengthen the family's power.

Fifteen years old.

Lan Nuo Red Maple went even further on the Path of the Knight, and through the efforts of his father, Count Red Maple, he obtained a pioneering order from the Lantbless.

Possess this pioneering order.

Randy Red Maple can legally travel to the Kingdom's frontiers to expand its territory.

Unfortunately, the only drawback is...

This decree is for the Western Border frontier, not the Eastern Border they originally envisioned.

It's understandable if you think about it.

Although the Kingdom doesn't care about the nobility becoming too powerful, it will try to maintain a balance in certain aspects.

In today's world.

The gods do not reside in the Prime Material World. Although the Lanteblaise Basin Kingdom believes in and is protected by the Lord of Order and Justice, the current King is not a descendant of the original founding Monarch.

After a long period of time, the kinship among the gods has faded, or rather, those descendants with good aptitude have long since ascended to the Heaven.

In the current Prime Material Plane, as long as faith remains unchanged, the gods do not care who the King is.

Sixteen years old.

Randy Red Maple led 50 family Knight and a large contingent of hundreds of serfs to the western border.

The western frontier is located outside the Lantblaze Basin and is isolated from the basin by the Mountain Range. The King of the basin throughout history have not paid much attention to this territory.

After all, the Kingdom's best parts were located within the basin, and the western part was even more difficult to conquer due to its high mountains, making it easy to defend but hard to attack. They preferred to expand eastward and northward.

It took several months.

Randy Red Maple arrived at the western border.

This place is nestled among the Mountain Range.

He first found a place to camp, and then spent several months searching for a place to build a city. Finally, he found a valley between the Mountain Range and decided to build his first castle there.

Eighteen years old.

Randy Red Maple planted Red Maple in the valley, built a castle, named it River Valley Castle, and named his pioneering territory River Valley Domain.

The valley was also named Red Maple River Valley.

Then he began to lead his own Knight troops to conquer the mountain peoples in the Western Mountain Range, gradually relocating these mountain tribes to the valleys and making them his own people.

In a few years,

His strength also broke through to the Grand Knight.

He decided to build a large city in the valley that could accommodate 100,000 people.

Twenty-four years old.

In the Western Mountain Range, several tribes of Forest Troll launched a joint attack, but he defeated them.

He captured these Troll and used them as labor to build the River Valley City.

at the same time.

He acquired the territories of these Troll tribes and discovered that beyond the Troll territories to the north lay a lush grassland inhabited by several herding tribes of cattle, sheep, and horses.

His desire to conquer was rekindled.

Twenty-five years old.

His territory finally had a population of 20,000, mostly mountain dwellers, with a small number of freed commoners who were serfs bought from the basin.

Slaves like Troll are not counted in the population.

Officials from the Kingdom's capital also arrived at River Valley Castle at this time to inspect the progress of the expansion.

Unlike other kingdoms, the Lanteblaise Basin Kingdom's expansion orders are reviewed by the Kingdom expansion lords ten years after the order is issued.

Furthermore, titles of nobility are determined based on achievements, with the highest possible rank being count.

certainly.

This maximum limit varies from person to person and has its own interpretation.

Only those with strong backgrounds and powerful abilities can become earls after ten years.

Newly rich men like Count Red Maple, who rose from commoner to nobleman, were not favored by the old-school nobles in the Kingdom.

Fortunately, the Kingdom official who came to verify the results was a devout follower of the Lord of Order and Justice. After some investigation, he granted Randy Red Maple a just title.

"Viscount."

And his family name was also decided.

It's called the valley.

From now on, he can be called Randy River Valley.

Twenty-six years old.

Randy Red Maple River Valley Domain his army across the Mountain Range, conquering the grasslands north of the Mountain Range and subjugating several grassland tribes, acquiring a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses.

At the same time, in order to occupy this place.

He established three Knight and three Knight territories here.

Twenty-seven years old.

Randy River Valley travels to the capital and unexpectedly encounters a royal princess.

However, this princess was in an awkward position and was not favored by the queen.

Because she was not born to the Queen, but rather to the King when he was young and traveling with a Elf ranger.

The princess recently returned with a keepsake.

After the King tested her bloodline, he was moved by his first love and accepted her as his wife, but the queen did not like her.

Perfect, Randy River Valley got lucky and married her.

Twenty-eight years old.

Randy River Valley and the Half-Elf princess had a son, ensuring the continuation of their lineage.

Fifty years old.

Over the past twenty years.

Randy Valley continued to expand into the Western Mountain Range, conquering the Mountain Dwarf within the Mountain Range and establishing Hill Castle, which was garrisoned by his second son.

During this time, he received help from the Dwarf 'Forging Technique.

Later, he conquered the various Troll tribes and Forest Elf in the Mountain Range, bringing almost all of the Western Mountain Range and their inhabitants into the River Valley Domain.

Then, he conquered the Silvermane Grassland north of the Mountain Range, bringing a large number of grassland people under his rule and establishing Silvermane City on the grassland, which was garrisoned by his third son.

at this time.

His territory connects the Red Maple River Valley, the Western Mountain Range, and the Silvermane Grassland, and its area is so vast that it is almost the same size as the Lantblaze Basin.

Its territory had a population of nearly one million, and its valley cavalry was renowned for its might.

He led the Knight of the River Valley Domain to the Northern Border and Eastern Border many times to help the Kingdom defeat enemies on the frontier.

He was thus promoted to Count West Wind.

This means that the strong winds from the west helped the Kingdom win the battle.

Randy River Valley thought the name Westwind sounded better, so he renamed River Valley Domain to Westwind County.

His name was naturally changed to Randy Westwind.

Sixty years old.

The King of the Kingdom of Lantblaze died, and the Kingdom fell into civil war. Three princes fought for the throne, eventually leading to the kingdom splitting into three great duchies.

Randy Zephyr seized the opportunity to establish his own duchy and proclaim himself Grand Duke West Wind.
