King of the North: My Lord's Diary Weekly Summary

"Therefore, follower."

Wayne made his choice—over the next few days he would travel with his wolf companions and knights to the Phip Forest to investigate the wolf clan in depth.

He needs a trustworthy and powerful subordinate to help him guard his territory.

He will choose the weapon when he has the chance next time—after all, it is an absolutely good thing, whether for his own use, as a special tool, or given to other subordinates.

As for skills, Wayne plans to treat them the same way as items—he wants to use a Crystal Blue-level lottery in the future to see what kind of reward he gets first.

With Wayne's thought, three cards radiating an alluring purple glow appeared from the silver light.

Bloodline: None

Brief Introduction: He was once the captain of a reconnaissance team active on the border of his principality, but left the army due to dissatisfaction with the rigid orders from his superiors.

He is quick-witted, bold in action, and favors high-risk, high-reward tactics, which often draws criticism from his conservative colleagues.

He may need a lord who is decisive, appreciates his talents, and gives him enough autonomy.

"Wow!"

Seeing the three purple cards in front of him, Wayne couldn't help but doubt himself—had he used the Lord's Notes' settlement ability incorrectly before?

The correct approach would be to simply create a large group of powerful and loyal subordinates with diverse skills out of thin air, and then directly declare oneself king!

But in the end, he quickly came to his senses—the selection of attendants required more caution, and there were more things to consider.

First, how should he explain their presence to his subordinates?

Second, followers are not the same as bloodlines—they can really die because of their own bad decisions or in danger!

This is clearly reflected in their profile.

Third, there's the follower panel—the follower's strength level cannot be higher than your own.

This also means that although they are powerful, loyal, and have similar growth potential as us, we still need to continuously improve our own strength.

"I just don't know if the power level classification in the Lord's Notes is the same as the classification in this world."

Is the strength level a reflection of combat power, or is it related to the so-called breathing techniques and qi?

This question may only be answered accurately when Wayne breaks through to the second tier.

Not far away.

Returning to this selection, the characteristics of the three followers are quite obvious—Raymond specializes in defense and is also highly intelligent. His cautious nature allows him to correct and assist Vayne's decisions.

While that might be an exaggeration, in terms of ability, he seems to be a militarized, upgraded version of Wright.

Such a person would be an extremely reliable subordinate should I be caught up in war in the future!

Later, Akabane and In were subordinates who would become very valuable at specific junctures.

Crimson Blade's Bloodbath Charge specialization—the more wounded a person is, the more lethal they become—and that club-like weapon naturally reminded Wayne of an old friend.

However, although Crimson Blade has a high potential, Wayne doesn't need such a desperate subordinate at the moment—if such a dangerous situation were to arise, he would still prefer to do it himself, who has the notes.

Thinking about this, Wayne suddenly realized something—he shouldn't be thinking like that; he was the lord.

If a danger beyond my control arises, I should focus on saving Ronald and Wright; as for the others—

These followers can be considered high-quality assets, while the others can be considered ordinary assets.

"Perhaps this way of thinking is more suitable for my current identity and situation..."

The last one, Yin, has the highest stats among the three and possesses the skills to track and survive in the mountains and forests—she can both guard her own forest and lead the team in hunting, and she even played a significant role in this operation...

But after careful consideration, Raymond is still more in line with Wayne's plans.

In addition to aiding decision-making, defending territory, and potential for future wartime, Raymond also possesses unique advantages in the current situation.

That is, this is a hidden move.

He would be sending four teams to the woodlands—not just all of them, but he was even prepared to borrow men from Rachel.

Under these circumstances, the manpower available for woodland exploration can be considered sufficient:

Wayne didn't actually think the enemies in the territory could be that strong—in his opinion, the Duke wouldn't allow anyone who was a real threat to appear in the border region; this was probably another test for him.

There shouldn't be any unexpected problems.

But with all the outsiders involved, there's no guarantee that some hidden enemies won't be stirring up trouble.

If there is any covert probing or even attack, Raymond would be an ace in the hole.

Moreover, his strength lies in his defensive setup—he doesn't even need to personally step onto the field.
