Warlord: King of All Clans

Although a few people were chatting, there were still many people in the hall.

A group of veterans looked at Ivan happily, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

But the newly joined Wind Knights and the Rose Knight who has always been with Leo are different.

They looked at Ivan in shock, wondering who he was and how he dared to take the Grand Duke's adopted son as a knight's squire.

The knights' squires are all the nephews and grandchildren of their vassal relatives. On the one hand, they train their offspring, and on the other hand, they maintain the relationship with their vassal relatives.

Ninety percent of the knights' squires, after the age of ten, began to learn riding and martial arts from their knights' lords, and learned etiquette and writing from their knights' wives. Although they were not adopted sons in name, they were adopted sons in reality.

Why did the Seven Lords of the North want to form their own order of armored knights and maintain a large number of family knights?

On the one hand, the Earl's Mansion needs its own core troops, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to raising a proton group.

They have lived in the Earl's Mansion since childhood, and regard the Earl as their father and the Countess as their mother. When they retire and return home to become local grassroots, their loyalty is naturally much higher than that of the natives who are far away from the emperor.

What Ivan said was no different from saying he wanted to adopt a son.

Leo first diligently took Ivan's sword, and after carefully removing his weapon, he used his trump card, "You, you! Don't you know that I am already a knight?"

But he still underestimated the lethality of this sentence to Ivan. The mayor of Hekou Town, who was unarmed, dared to pounce on Rio Mundo who was wielding two swords!

"Sir? You may have forgotten how the last Sir died!"

"How dare you to assassinate the noble Lord!"

The two men started shouting and fighting.

Ivan, who was promoted to the extraordinary level, became stronger by leaps and bounds. He lasted for ten moves in Leo's hands before he was pinned under Leo and surrendered.

Leo originally wanted to say that he could beat him with one hand, but Ivan almost succeeded with a monkey stealing peach move, so he swallowed the words.

Hekou Town and the Solovi Knight Territory are separated by a World Tree Avenue. Both Knight Solovi and Knight Romon are excellent teachers.

After all the bandit groups in the western wilderness were wiped out, Ivan had nothing to do on weekdays, and most of the civil affairs were left to Rambo Rabbit and Basarov.

He would go to the hot spring villa to seek advice from Roman or Knight Solovy every now and then, and his combat skills improved rapidly.

After dealing with Ivan, Leo began to understand the current situation of Hekou Town. The other members of the management also told Leo about the development of the major settlements in Hewan Territory.

Without King Leo to give them advice, many problems arose in the development of several settlements.

Although Hewan is developing rapidly and the overall situation is very good, many problems that have never occurred before have now become imminent.

It was only then that they suddenly realized that without Leo's advice, some invisible contradictions could be eliminated at the source at the beginning, and would become acute if they were not careful.

There was nothing they could do about it. They were a makeshift team, their horizons limited to the northern countryside, and they had no idea what problems a village would face in the process of developing into a town.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to respond as quickly as Leo did.

Leo listened patiently until the dinner began.

The banquet to welcome Leo back from the expedition was even grander than the one in Linhai Town. New and old managers came from all directions, and even many nobles who were feasting in the hot spring villa came after hearing the news.

The current River Bend is no longer the unknown small frontier territory it once was. The fact that it defeated the Gladstone family alone is enough to arouse curiosity.

Many nobles came here to inquire about the situation and make investments, and some even wanted to marry their daughters to Ulian.

It was only because the news that Leo had become the adopted son of the Grand Duke of the North had not yet spread, otherwise these nobles would not mind letting their daughters become Leo's concubines.

If Leo hadn't returned too quickly and the nobles of Isenbol hadn't been able to make it in time, this welcoming banquet would have been even more crowded than his wedding.

After the party, Leo dealt with everyone and finally had some free time.

Sitting on the lord's throne, looking at the spacious house, where several maids were cleaning up the banquet tables, chairs and leftovers, and a few bold green-skinned cubs were following them, begging for the bones left by the guests, Leo felt inexplicably calm.

Only at this time did he let out a long breath.

I'm back!

In addition to the maid and cook originally hired, Hewan now has three more servants and a groom, so Olivia no longer needs to do housework herself.

But she was still used to watching the servants work, occasionally giving them orders to satisfy her role as the mistress.

After cleaning up, the cook had already boiled hot water, so Olivia took Leo to the compartment next to the kitchen, helped Leo remove his armor, and waited for him to take a bath.

Sitting in a large wooden tub filled with hot water, letting Olivia wash him with a towel, Leo said something rude as usual, "Why are you here again? I'm a dignified knight, and you don't even have a maid to help me take a bath?"

"Other nobles have a dozen young and beautiful maids at a time, but here I only have a few aunts. Are you planning to find a stepmother for yourself?"

Olivia was already used to his nonsense, so she rolled up her sleeves and scrubbed his back vigorously, "It's not impossible to find a stepmother, but Dad doesn't want one."

She secretly glanced at the maids working outside the cubicle. These three maids were all widows in the village, all in their thirties or forties. In the increasingly wealthy Hewan Peninsula, no one wanted people of this age anymore.

The residents on the Hewan Peninsula are either management or artisan class. There are not many widowers. Moreover, even the old villagers of Uliyang's generation, who have fields, land and money, are looking for young partners!

It is very difficult for elderly widows to survive. It goes without saying that those with successful children will have to endure hardships, but those without children or whose children are still young will quickly be driven out of the peninsula because they have lost their value, unless the lord is kind enough.

Olivia couldn't bear to see these people who had experienced life and death with everyone and stood by them until the end being driven out of the home they had built.

So she tried her best to arrange those widowed, widowed and lonely members of the tribe to suitable positions so that they could continue to occupy a place on the River Bay Peninsula.

Looking at the diligent backs of the maids, Olivia's gossipy heart was ready to move, and she secretly pointed out behind their backs, "I think Aunt Hedy is quite interested in Dad, but Sister Alma is more beautiful!"

"Sister Alma is only ten years older than me. She has three sons and is also fertile. Maybe she can give me a brother!"

Leo couldn't help but laugh. This noble mistress of River Bay was still the gentle, kind and approachable girl next door.

Leo, who was distracted, grabbed Olivia and wanted to take a bath together.

But Olivia was not so unscrupulous. She broke away from Leo and said with a snicker, "You want a young and beautiful maid? Not that I don't have one, Elodie! Come here and help Leo take a bath!"

Tiny Elodi ran over quickly, carrying a large brush as tall as herself in her left hand and a bucket of sulfur mixture in her right hand.

She rolled up her sleeves, poked the sulfur bucket with a brush, and was about to poke it at Leo.

"What are you doing?" Leo quickly blocked.

Elodi felt aggrieved, "Master Leo, this is how I usually bathe green-skinned cubs!"

“Get out of here!”
