Warlord: King of All Clans

It’s not that kobolds can’t lie, but lying is not very effective, because as long as they don’t believe in it, most of the lies will be ruthlessly exposed by their companions.

But in human society, lies become very useful.

The dog, with clear eyes and an innocent face, said that his cubs were starving to death and needed delicious cassava biscuits to survive. The townspeople of the Hewan Town were very willing to provide relief.

In fact, the cubs in the Gnoll Valley are all raised collectively and do not need parental care at all.

Once the first dog discovered this way of survival, a whole industry immediately emerged.

It was not until there began to be an endless stream of beggars and fraudsters that the Lord's Mansion belatedly discovered the problem.

But Fraser didn't realize the problem at all. In her opinion, this was also a way of hunting.

Gnolls live at the bottom of the wilderness and have been oppressed by other races for generations. Some are even driven away by wild beasts and forced to flee their homes.

In the simple values ​​of the Kobolds, being able to survive is a skill, and cheating, deceiving, and robbing are all high-level survival skills.

Leo rode his dragon-scale horse out of the river town and strolled slowly to the Gnoll Valley.

The canal at the base of the river bend peninsula has become five meters wide after day-to-day repairs, and many places prone to collapse have been built with cement or brick dams.

In fact, the total amount of arable land on the Hewan Peninsula is less than one thousand acres, and a two or three meter wide canal is more than enough.

But because the canal that Freya helped dig was too straight, the water volume increased sharply during the rainy season, and the rapid flood once broke through the earth dams on both sides of the canal.

At the worst time, the lower half of the canal was blocked by collapsed mud and rocks, and the water level of the small lake in the middle of the river bay peninsula rose by at least two meters, turning the pastures in the southern half of the peninsula into a swamp.

The canal was gradually widened to five meters and a stone dam was built, which was a passive move.

But this also has its advantages. The larger canal and faster flowing water allow the forging workshop next to the lake to use hydraulic forging hammers.

Moreover, a pier for fishing boats to pass through was built directly in the small lake, so the products of the forging workshop no longer need to be manually transported to the pier at the river bend and then loaded onto the ship.

The road leading to the Gnoll Valley also changed from a narrow dirt road to a wide gravel road, and stone bridges were built over all the streams along the way.

Today, the Gnoll Valley can no longer be called a valley.

Half of the ridge of the entire valley has been completely dug up, revealing the mountains behind.

The original mine caves and mine cliffs all disappeared, turning into a huge open-pit mine.

Densely packed kobold miners were mining on it, and the sound of "ding-dong-dong" was everywhere.

The steel-clad pickaxes in their hands were enough for them to dig hard ores without having to worry about them breaking easily as before.

Adequate food also made the kobold miners strong and healthy, and their productivity doubled.

Of course, the main means of mining are the increasingly powerful gunpowder barrels and the increasingly sophisticated blasting techniques of the Kobold Demolition Man.

Those blind, deaf, lame, and broken-armed Gnoll Demolitionists who are highly respected by their people will never separate only nine cubic meters of iron ore if they say they want to separate ten cubic meters of iron ore from a vein.

Ordinary kobold miners do not need to deal with huge veins of ore, they only need to break up the scraps that are not suitable for transportation.

The entire open-pit mine was a mess of tangled tracks. The kobold overseers, wearing blindfolded iron helmets, stood on mine carts loaded with ore, whipping the kobold miners behind them and driving the mine carts around.

After going around in circles, the mine cart miraculously arrived at the crushing workshop by the stream, and then dumped the kobold overseer and the iron ore into the crushing pit.

On the other side of the crushing workshop is Fraser's experimental base. Occasionally, there would be a loud bang and a small house would collapse. A few dusty puppies would quickly escape, gasping for breath, and then rush back to rescue the experimental equipment.

Some female kobolds, carrying baskets of kobold cubs, poured them into the stream to bathe them.

Due to the shortage of manpower, many cubs will be washed away by the current, drift downstream, and then be stranded in the shallow waters downstream.

Some knew how to crawl back on their own, but others could only wait to be picked up by passing Kobold patrols.

There is no job in the entire Gnoll Valley that is not high-risk!

But here there are "woof woof" sounds everywhere, and many dogs are singing the songs of the kobolds loudly. It is obvious that they are very happy.

And those ogre guards became extremely lazy and had nothing to do.

According to the tradition of the kobold tribe, the old and weak kobolds are responsible for gathering and raising cubs, the kobold miners are responsible for mining, and the kobold warriors are responsible for hunting and fighting.

After having enough food, the ogre warriors disdained to follow the old and weak to gather, nor were they willing to go back to mine, so every day apart from hanging out with Fesa, they just lay in the square in the valley to bask in the sun.

They gathered in groups of three or five, some of them knocked too much antler cassava peel and entered a fantasy moment with saliva, while others played dice, lost all their bone biscuits, and then tore them apart.

These gamblers not only have poor gambling skills, but also worse gambling character.

Leo frowned as he watched. Although Fesha had a talent for domestic affairs, it was impossible for her to be a professional modern management talent.

The entire Gnoll Valley is managed by Fesa alone, and the rest of the Gnolls are all young children.

As Frasa focused her energy on learning basic subjects and relaxed her management of her people, most of the kobolds were able to continue operating according to the original order, but chaos began to appear in many places.

A large amount of labor was wasted, and many undisciplined ogres began to have negative effects, and even wandered into human settlements to cause trouble.

Sure enough, in places with education, people know etiquette when their granaries are full, but in places without education, people are only tempted by sex when they are well fed and clothed.

Leo's titles of Dog Biter and Great Demon are still very intimidating. When he rode his dragon-scale horse into the Gnoll Valley, the atmosphere of the entire valley changed.

The group of colorful street guards also dropped their entertainment and stood guard in a pretentious manner.

Leo asked a golden-haired guard, "Where is your king?"

“Woof woof woof! King Fisa! The messenger of the Kobold God! Blessing the Kobolds!”

My goodness, the management method that Olivia just came up with was plagiarized by Fraser in the blink of an eye.

Led by the Gnoll Guards, Leo walked towards the upstream village of the Gnoll tribe.

Hundreds of kobolds gathered in the small square here, all of them were leaders or core members of various clans.

In addition to the golden-haired people and the black-haired people, there were also pugs, mastiffs, and Chow Chows, all of whom looked at their kobold king with admiration.

And Fesa was standing on the stone, imitating Olivia and blessing her subjects.
