Warlord: King of All Clans

In the end, it was the ultimate boss of Riverbend, Olivia, who put an end to their quarrel: "Two illiterates! Eat!"

While they were chatting, Leo had secretly gnawed away at his venison steak until only the skeleton was left, and then he casually handed it to the eagerly awaited little dog-headed man beneath him.

The little dog-headed man didn't feel disgusted at all and continued to chew the skeleton. Seeing this, several other little dog-headed men came up to fight for it and a fight started between them.

The little mouse handed his venison steak to Six under the table and secretly pointed at Leo.

Six could only hold back his saliva and help her carry the food under the table.

But Freya would not let the little mouse's flattery succeed, so she secretly slipped off the table to intercept the troops sent by the little mouse.

Six, with his mission in mind, fled around the fire pit, carrying the venison steak.

By the time Olivia noticed and stopped them, Freya and a few little dog-headed people were already rolling in the fire pit, covered in ashes.

Olivia held her forehead with her hand and could only stare at these stupid dogs, watching them finish their meal obediently, and then go to give them a bath.

Uliyan lowered the cultural level of the Lord's House, and Freya lowered the overall IQ of the Lord's House!

The young widow Agatha watched the interactions in the big house with joy and sincerely envied this kind of life.

She is a lonely woman, and her pig son is not as smart and interesting as her.

After dinner and chatting for a while, Leo stood up and said, "I'm going to take a walk around the camp across the street."

Although Leo had trained the 1,500 people crammed into the refugee camp to be honest and obedient, he was still worried.

Prepare to go over and take a look before nightfall to shock people.

At the beginning, he didn't care about anything, as Uliyang was the one who took care of everything.

Now that the plate has grown bigger and I am on my own, I feel the difficulties at all levels.

He, Ulian, and Vichi, as high-ranking officials of the River Bay Lords' Army, are able to be impartial and strictly follow the rules set by the River Bay.

However, the River Bend Infantry and Wild Folk Hunters under his command were not a high-quality team.

And those team leaders at the grassroots level are unable to enforce the law strictly.

The soldiers behaved like sheep in front of Leo, but turned around and became particularly arrogant in front of the new refugees.

There is still a strong remnant of slave culture in the North. Although the overall number of slaves is not large, the slave market in each city is not small.

Many soldiers always subconsciously treated these newly recruited refugees as slaves, beating, scolding, and even drawing swords against them.

As for those grassroots team leaders, when their brothers make mistakes, they subconsciously do not think it is that serious and often choose to turn a blind eye.

If the situation really gets to Leo and he needs to step in, it will be obvious which side he will favor because on one side is his brother and on the other side are strange refugees.

Leo didn't have any good way to deal with these ruffians. He could only keep reiterating military orders, strengthening education, and arresting some typical examples for deterrence.

On the other hand, the newly recruited refugees are by no means good people.

The people of the North are known for their bravery, which can also be replaced by "barbarity and violence". Any man in the North will inevitably have a temper.

Moreover, the survival state of the entire feudal lord society is a balance between the lords' exploitation of their subjects and the subjects' resistance to their lords.

Not all lords are as kind, generous and far-sighted as the Lord of River Bend, who not only exempts all taxes and levies, but also pays wages for work.

Many lords levied taxes today and labor service tomorrow. In order to satisfy their own extravagant lifestyles, they always went back and forth between the limits of what their subjects could bear.

The subjects were being exploited so much that they either went on strike or chose to resist in order to get the lord to restrain himself a little.

Or they might simply kill the lord's tax collector, burn down the village, and take their people into the wilderness to become savages.

The truly docile and kind ones have long since become extinct.

Therefore, there are many young and strong men among the newly joined refugees. The lord treats them well, and they work hard to repay him.

If the soldiers treat them unfairly, many people will protest and even form groups to resist.

In any society, the living space of the grassroots people cannot rely solely on the moral bottom line of the ruling class, but must be fought for by themselves.

This is what is called class struggle, and there is no way Leo can improve it in a short period of time.

The only way is to constantly strengthen patrols and read out decrees. After all, no matter which party, no one dares to cause trouble under Leo's nose.

Education is not a one-day job. Look, only a month after Leo left, the villagers of Riverbend started to shit everywhere again.

No matter how hard Uliyang cracked down, he could not control these inferiors who were fighting guerrilla warfare against the great lords in order to gain the right to defecate anywhere.

In the end, he had no choice but to follow Leo's example and reorganize the Boy Scouts and the Dog Scouts to continue to poke the butts of the villagers who urinated and defecated everywhere.

The next morning, Leo distributed the various supplies that he had prepared long ago to the refugees.

Hundreds of cargo donkeys and two-wheeled carts, also loaded with supplies, followed the main force.

A pioneering team of 1,500 people officially set out to develop a new city in the Gravel Hills!

The team consisted of fifty regular Hewan infantrymen, fifty wild hunters, one hundred and fifty sword and shield militiamen, one hundred and fifty crossbow militiamen, as well as seven hundred young and strong refugees and four hundred women and children.

The three hundred militiamen were skilled laborers trained in the refugee camp.

After long-term training, they not only became accustomed to collective labor and skilled in using tools, but also possessed good combat effectiveness.

Because the elderly, the weak, women and children accounted for a large proportion of the three thousand refugees, Leo could only select four hundred relatively healthy and strong women and children from the large number of elderly, the weak, women and children as part of the pioneering team.

Even so, the proportion of young and strong people left in Hekou Town is less than half. If it is lower, it will seriously affect production and construction.

After all, they were exploring the wilderness, and if there was any chance, Leo didn't want to take along any of the elderly, the weak, women, or children.

Because they were protected by a large group of soldiers and militia, this bloated team of pioneers was not afraid of being robbed by the barbarians.

The road leading from the river bend to the gravel hills has been repaired many times during several activities, including fighting with the gnoll coalition, recruiting wolf-fang wild people to join, and transporting prey for hunting teams.

Leo once again followed old habits and the team moved at a leisurely pace, continuing to repair the road along the way.

This time, the repaired road was not only able to accommodate two carriages running side by side, but also straightened many winding mountain roads, and sturdy wooden bridges were built over mountain streams and small rivers that previously required detours.

It’s good to have more people. When encountering a place that Leo doesn’t like, a small team of a hundred people will be left behind to rest, while the main force continues to advance along the old road.

Before nightfall, the team responsible for the repairs had completed the work and caught up with the main force.

The straight-line distance from the river bend to the hunting camp on the gravel hills was fifteen kilometers, but the actual distance was almost double that.

Now a large number of bridges have been built and mountain roads have been opened up, shortening the actual road length to 20 kilometers.

If there are roads, walking 20 kilometers will take less than a day, and riding a horse will take less than an hour.

Once Hewan has its own ranch and trains a group of riding horses, the mounted infantry will be able to support any stronghold in Hewan within a day.

After three days of delay, the large force finally arrived at the hunting camp on the gravel hills.
