Warlord: King of All Clans

In a small place like Isenbol, it is not easy for a knight family to cultivate an extraordinary person. An average square flag family only has two or three extraordinary people, and less than 30% of the corner flags can become extraordinary people.

The Isenpol Legion assembled this time brought together most of the corner flag knights in the eastern part of Isenpol, and there were no more than ten extraordinary knights among them.

And in Leo's team of 100 people, there are seven extraordinary people, four of whom are Rose Knights riding unicorns.

Half of his voice in the legion comes from here.

On the other hand, the Earl's Legion supporting Frovald was composed almost entirely of elite heavy-armored soldiers, as well as a large number of extraordinary warriors and knights, and even two mage regiments.

There are also mages in Isenbol, but unlike what Leo imagined, mages are a very rare profession in this world.

Any mage with a normal mind would neither wander around outside for no reason nor risk his life by throwing fireballs in a small-scale battle.

There is no specific distinction between shamans, wizards, mages, and warlocks in the North and they are usually confused together.

Magic is always easily associated with religion, mysticism, herbalism, and alchemy.

Most mages are also religious people, alchemists, or enchanters.

After all, in areas with backward technology, without the ability to control magic, it is impossible to do these professional jobs well.

The wizards' various magical research requires a lot of money, and only the earl level can afford to support them.

But the rewards are also amazing, so the status of the mage is often not low.

Throwing fireballs onto the battlefield is simply a waste of resources.

Look, Denise is just a low-level wizard, but she has gained both fame and fortune by doing historical research and writing novels at the Imperial Capital Academy.

Spending a large sum of gold coins to hire a team of extraordinary adventurers to be her fighting partners, and running to the Wolf-Driving Plain to throw fireballs is just a personal hobby.

There are two mage groups in Frowald, one belongs to the Grand Duke of the North, and the other is a patchwork of court mages from other earls.

They are not used to throw fireballs, but to maintain various alchemical equipment and magical machinery, as well as to repair the enchanted armor of the extraordinary knights, make alchemical potions, and deal with the threats of the orc magic system.

On the second day after entering Frowald, the Isenpol Corps received military orders.

"The Duke of the North has issued an order, ordering the Isenbor Legion to set out immediately to the town of Melesi in the Wolf-Driving Plains to wipe out the orc hunting team."

After receiving the military order, Corps Commander Arnold waited until the messenger left before showing a trace of dissatisfaction, "We are going to fight in the field right after we arrived? They are treating us as cannon fodder."

He was somewhat resentful. As a legion commander, he was dispatched to fight without even meeting the Grand Duke of the North.

A northern flagman would be a baron or viscount if he were placed in the southern border, but the political traditions of the two borders were different. The flagman was severely suppressed and had no right to divide or inherit the territory.

But he was, after all, the commander of a legion of 3,000 men, a rank at least equivalent to that of a colonel but holding the position of a general, and he felt that he was not being respected as he should be.

Rudolph at the side didn't think so: "I've heard of the town of Melesi. It's just south of the Wolf Driving Plain. It's not far from here, only about 40 or 50 miles away. If we walk fast, we can get there in one day. It's an easy job."

Leo also nodded silently. With tens of thousands of troops crowded in the city, someone had to go out and do some odd jobs.

It is difficult for the Isenbor Legion to engage in direct combat with the main force of the Orcs, but they can still clear the jungle on the side.

Besides, defending the city is not just a matter of holding it tightly. Every day, a large number of cavalrymen leave the city from Frovald's military camp to harass and drive out the small tribes scattered in the wilderness, interfering with their transportation of food to the main orc force.

According to intelligence, in addition to the main force of the human army that was confronting the defenders and suppressing the main force of the orcs in the city, there were an equal number or even more orc clans scattered around the orc army camp.

They even crossed the defense lines to plunder and hunt, providing a steady supply of food to the main orc force.

Without affecting the defense of Frovald, the Grand Duke of the North will also free up manpower to enter the surrounding villages and towns and engage in small-scale battles with the orcs.

The Isenbol Legion moved into the town of Melesi and occupied a node, blocking some orc clans from going south to hunt and also adding some pressure to the orcs.

Judging from the current situation, the orcs are waiting for the humans to lose their patience and go out of the city for a battle, while the humans are waiting for the orcs to run out of food and grass and launch an attack on the city.

This is similar to the confrontation in Varanger, it just depends on which side will give up first.

All I can say is that when it comes to the survival of the race, both sides are being extremely cautious and there isn't anything too fancy.

They are all waiting for the other party to reveal a flaw.

This is also the norm in war. Unless one side has an absolute advantage, the progress of the war will become very slow and time will need to be calculated in years.

Knight Arnold just complained that it was not easy to meet the Grand Duke of the North.

He felt that he was the commander of a legion of 3,000 men, but in front of the Grand Duke of the North, he was just a small leader of the local armed forces.

The local armed forces of 3,000 people were not as useful as the 300 mounted cavalry of the Earl's guard.

Leo also felt it was a pity that Knight Solovy did not participate in the war this time, otherwise asking Knight Solovy to take him to meet the Grand Duke of the North and talk to Her Royal Highness the Princess would have improved their relationship to some extent.

Now he had no one to introduce him and could not meet the Grand Duke of the North at all.

But it didn't matter. Some kind of intuition made him not want to enter the Northern Grand Duke's sight right now.

Who knows if the Grand Duke of the North will think he is a promising talent and send him into the meat grinder on the battlefield for training?

After complaining, Corps Commander Arnold briefly discussed with several corner flags, then waved his hand and said, "Move out."

The town of Melesi is located in the Wolf-Driving Plain in the southwest of Froward. It is a town that has been developed for hundreds of years and is connected to Froward by a highway.

Unlike most of the villages and towns in the Earldom of Fruilov that are close to the World Tree Avenue, the town of Melesi is fifty miles deep into the Wolf-Driving Plain, which can be considered deep in the wilderness.

Because of this, the chaos caused by the orc invasion directly affected the survival of the town. In this year, the town of Melesi suffered ten times more attacks than the River Bay Territory hundreds of miles to the south.

There are fewer villages here, and most of the surrounding areas are mines and logging sites.

However, due to the repeated attacks by aliens and orcs, most of them have now stopped production, and many have been occupied by aliens or orcs.

The town of Melesi also suffered serious population loss. The town, which originally had thousands of people, now has only a few hundred people left, and famine is beginning to occur.

The local lord had fled long ago, and the people guarding the city were a group of spontaneously organized militia.

The Isenbol Legion reached the town of Melesi in one day, and then began to deploy defenses, driving the original militia regiment off the city wall.

Apart from anything else, the living conditions here are at least better than those in the crowded Frovald, and Leo no longer has to compete with Vic for a bed.

Seeing the hungry-looking townspeople, Leo distributed some food as a consolation after the nod of the legion commander, Knight Arnold.

Then he began to explore outside with his wild hunters and the village guides he had just recruited.
