Warlord: King of All Clans

The County of Beowulf is the northernmost county in the North, and is also the least developed county.

If the North is considered medieval Europe, then Beowulf's earldom is Northern Europe.

There is neither a magical road like the World Tree Avenue nor a river like the Anzeno River that runs across the north.

There are only endless mountains, powerful and mysterious monsters, and numerous alien tribes.

Seven hundred years ago, the human army swept across the northern border and drove the beastmen to the northern snowfields. Only here do traces of the beastmen still remain.

The extraordinary army of one thousand people still had roads to travel on in the first three days, and they could see destroyed villages along the way.

On the fourth day, we officially entered the wilderness and our progress began to slow down.

At this time, the high-level mages and shamans accompanying the army began to play a role.

The group levitation technique of a high-level wizard can allow the horses of an entire legion to directly jump off a cliff of dozens of meters and slowly land on the ground.

The high-level shaman's water walking ability allows the entire legion's horses to move freely in swamps and rivers without worrying about getting stuck in the mud or drowning.

The shaman's earth element spells are a magical skill for opening up mountains and building roads. Many terrains that are difficult for armies to pass through can be turned into thoroughfares under their spells.

Although large-scale spellcasting consumes a lot of magic power and requires a period of preparation, it undoubtedly provides a great boost to the legion's advance.

In order to ensure the marching speed and avoid the sight of the orc clans, the legion also assigned one hundred light cavalry to serve as pathfinders, spreading out to the front to explore the way.

Whether you encounter cliffs, swamps, rivers, or orc or monster nests, you must report in advance so that the military law department can prepare early.

Leo and his Rose Knight were also among them. With the dragon-scale horse, Leo, wearing heavy armor, could charge into battle like a heavy cavalry, or gallop like a light cavalry.

Like most northern knights, Leo did not like to wear the airtight full-body plate armor of the knight. Instead, he liked to wear some additional plate armor parts in addition to the legion chain mail.

The battles in the North were too frequent and more brutal, and the armor was damaged too easily.

Therefore, the knight's full body plate armor with exquisite structure is a bit flashy, and many times there is no place to repair it when it breaks.

In the relatively peaceful provinces in the south, the knights would only fight a war every three or two years, and if they were hit by an arrow on the battlefield, it would be a shame for several years.

But in the North, it is common to feel uncomfortable without fighting for three months and to be pricked like a hedgehog.

In normal small-scale battles, they would wear legion chain mail.

When a large army is fighting, just put on some plate armor on the outside to enhance the defense.

At this moment, Leo was wearing legion chain mail, a bearskin cloak, riding on a dragon-scale horse, and wandering in front of the main force of the legion with the Rose Knights.

On a ridge, Leo spotted a clan of goblins fighting.

Goblins have green skin like orcs. Compared to orcs with thick limbs and well-developed muscles, goblins appear extremely short and thin.

Their short and sturdy stature and slender limbs are in stark contrast to the orcs' strong and powerful physiques.

In terms of individual strength, goblins are not even as good as relatively weaker tribes like kobolds.

But goblins also have their own talents. They are good at making equipment, taming large wild beasts, and have good business acumen.

The goblin tribes that can survive in the orcs' territory either have the talent of craftsmanship and can build siege equipment, watchtowers, and houses for the orcs' army.

Either they have a tradition of animal taming, or the tribe has tamed large and strong beasts.

The tundra goblin tribe that Leo discovered belongs to the latter.

In the Continent of Morning Light, although the overall number of goblins is small, they are not considered a backward race.

In the Storm Sea in the southern border of the empire, there is an archipelago free state known as the Second Atrium. On the several large islands on it, there are several developed goblin city-states.

The alchemical airships and ocean-going vessels they made had higher technological content than those of humans, and were almost at the top level in the Morning Light Continent.

There is also the Goblin Bank of the Free State of the Islands, which provides business to all races and can even control the situation on the continent by lending gold.

But the goblin tribe before them was obviously as declining in civilization as the orcs.

More than a hundred tundra goblins, driving seven or eight mammoths, are attacking a werewolf lair.

The mammoths from the northern snowfields are up to four meters tall and weigh more than ten tons. When they walk, the earth shakes.

They easily knocked open the crude fences and gates set up outside the gnolls' lair and broke straight in.

A large group of tundra goblins, who were not even as tall as the kobolds, either followed the mammoths or rode on their backs, shouting and quacking while shooting at the gnolls with slings or small bows and arrows.

These attacks were of very little power and could only penetrate the skin of the jackals, causing minor injuries.

But the same was true of the gnolls' counterattack. They could not attack the goblins behind and on the back of the mammoth, and could only charge towards the mammoth in vain, and then be thrown away by the opponent's huge trunk or pierced through the body by the long tusks.

This tribe of gnolls was even more backward than their counterparts in the Wolf-Driving Plains. They didn't even have iron tools, only some weapons like stone spears that couldn't even pierce the skin of mammoths.

The same number of gnolls were trampled upon by this goblin tribe with giant war beasts and were quickly defeated.

Just as Leo was about to retreat, there was a sudden noise nearby, and a minotaur riding on a mammoth appeared on the other side of the ridge with a group of walking goblins.

The minotaur also noticed Leo and the others and immediately started shouting.

"Ah? Humans, cunning humans, hateful humans, catch them and eat them!"

His voice was clearly strong and powerful, but the sound was mixed, and he deliberately imitated the accent of a goblin, which sounded extremely strange.

As he said this, he urged the mammoth to charge towards Leo and the others.

The dozen or so goblins behind him were also waving small wooden sticks and slings, chattering and cheering for the demonstration.

"Catch humans! Eat, eat, eat!"

Leo and the four Rose Knights are not weaklings and are not afraid of the mammoth's size.

Leo took the lead and rushed towards the mammoth, followed by four Rose Knights to assist.

Seeing that it was about to get closer, Leo suddenly jumped up from his dragon-scale horse, stepped on the mammoth's face, raised his long crescent-shaped sword and chopped directly at the minotaur's head.

The Red Hare was fast and the Minotaur had no time to react. He had only a wooden spear and a bag of stones in his hand, and he knew he could not withstand the attack.

In desperation, he let out a strange cry, and with a flexibility that was totally inconsistent with his strong body, he rolled off the mammoth and avoided the fatal blow.

Leo landed on the mammoth's back, then jumped to the ground and swung his sword again.

The Minotaur used a thick wooden spear to block the attacks while crawling for his life.

The sharp and heavy long crescent-shaped sword could easily chop off a wooden spear as thick as an adult's arm.

The other four Rose Knights also killed the goblins following behind and surrounded them.

After losing his weapon and seeing that it was difficult to escape, the Minotaur raised his hands and shouted, "Powerful human, I surrender! I surrender!"
