Warlord: King of All Clans

"???" Leo was full of questions when he heard the message from the cavalry scout.

The men who were full of fighting spirit also looked confused, and then they all looked at Feisa.

The Gnoll King, Fisa, was lying on the cannon, wagging his tail, observing its structure, and stuffing the small Freya into the barrel, asking her to help take a look at the internal structure of the human cannon.

"Woof woof woof! Smart Leo has invented an iron cannon. How amazing! Feisha only has a copper cannon!"

Freya was very reluctant, so she deliberately refused to shrink. Her fat butt was blocked in the muzzle of the gun, and her two hind legs were happily kicking outside.

Before Leo appeared, the level of iron smelting in the Gnoll Valley was so high that they couldn't even tell the difference between pig iron and wrought iron.

The kobold blacksmith makes small iron pickaxes and small iron spears, all relying on a little bit of inheritance and great strength to create miracles.

Now that she has acquired a large amount of human knowledge, Fesa is able to lead the ogres to skillfully use pig iron, wrought iron, and even steel to make weapons and tools, transitioning from primitive civilization to classical civilization.

But forging a cannon is not something that can be imagined out of thin air. It requires a certain foundation in the metallurgical industry, and she had no idea about it.

Feisa was excited when she found that her body was covered by a shadow. She turned around and saw Leo, with his back to the sun, standing behind her with a gloomy look on his face.

Leo grabbed Feisha by the back of her neck and lifted her up. "You are able to win the battle from a distance and plan the strategy from within. You are worthy of being the phoenix chick of our River Bay. You are really amazing!"

"Tell me, how did you defeat the Western Cavalry?"

Feisha was confused. She hadn't received any news yet. "Smart Feisha defeated the Western Cavalry?"

Leo was a little confused when he saw that Fisa didn't seem to be pretending.

But he soon realized that many things were wrong.

Fraser keeps saying she has two thousand dogs!

Everyone thought she was just bragging like Uriyan, because the three settlements of the kobolds only had a total of 1,500 people.

Fraser is still asking for food everywhere!

Fraser also said she had a bronze cannon!

Because the iron casting level in Hewan was backward and there had been no progress, Fraser turned to looking for other materials to make guns and cannons.

Leo also saw her collecting copper ore, smelting copper to make cannons, and showing off her bronze musket in front of him.

But without copper mines, all of this can only remain in the laboratory stage and cannot be put into actual combat.

Moreover, although the bronze musket looks very powerful, it is actually just a melee shotgun weighing dozens of pounds, and is not as useful as the barbarians' yew longbow.

Lian Feisha only took it out to play with it for a while and forgot about it in the lord's house in a blink of an eye.

The research and development of individual firearms is far less easy than the research and development of small and medium-sized artillery, and there is almost a technological gap of an era in between.

Moreover, early muskets were not as superior as longbows and heavy crossbows in terms of power, range, and convenience. Although Leo had been exploring them, he had no plans to put them into production.

Instead, he planned to directly promote the flintlock rifle after the overall technology in the territory was upgraded!

The defeat of two thousand Western Border cavalry surprised everyone and also made Leo realize that something was wrong with Fesha.

Bragging is also a form of lying, and Fraser is not good at it.

But she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is very smart. If you don't ask, she will not say anything.

"Tell me, what did you hide in the west?"

Fisa was held in the air by Leo, her eyes rolling around, "Nothing hidden! Just a few big kobolds!"

"Pa!" Leo slapped her on the forehead. "How many? Tell me clearly!"

Feisa lowered her head, "Just... three hundred."

My goodness, Fraser secretly hid three hundred werewolves in the west!

But Leo was not reassured and continued to ask, "What else?"

"And a little bit of copper."

"A little? How much?"

"Just... two..."

After Leo's questioning, Frasa finally confessed. It turned out that in the past six months, Frasa's kobold sniffers had been running around the entire Western Wilderness and Wolf Drive Plains, and had discovered a total of two copper mines, one iron mine, and one salt mine!

Moreover, this is a high-quality rich ore suitable for mining and of extremely high grade. In the opinion of the Gnolls, anything that is worse than their own hematite is useless!

As for non-metallic minerals such as coal, clay, lime, stone, etc., in the eyes of the gnolls, they are not called mines and can be found everywhere!

Even if it is a salt mine, if it has too many impurities and cannot be eaten directly, it is not called a mine!

A thousand years ago, the Gnolls were vassals of the Orcs, and they survived by finding mineral veins and mining metals for the Orcs.

When the orcs retreated, a large number of ogre tribes were abandoned and could only become weak wilderness aliens.

They run for food, are chased by wild beasts, and their survival is extremely difficult, so their sniffing ability cannot be fully utilized.

After joining the River Bend, a large number of Gnoll scouts were freed up, and the surrounding threats were eliminated on a large scale. They were finally able to roam all over the mountains and plains, spreading their activity areas from tens of miles to hundreds of miles.

These minerals are just side benefits from their hunting of squirrels and rabbits!

The werewolves that were let go by Frasa also came here with their tribesmen for refuge, but their condition for joining the Gnoll Tribe was not to be discovered by humans.

This werewolf tribe is the indigenous people of the Fabados Mountains south of Earl Gustav's territory.

They were originally the natives of the Southern Territory. With the rapid expansion of the human race, all the land in the Southern Territory was occupied by humans, and the werewolf tribes were driven into the Fabados Mountains.

That’s not all. The powerful Southern Territory adventure team is still keen on sneaking into the Fabados Mountains, capturing the alien races here, and selling them to the human race in the Three Territories for fun.

The werewolf that Feisa let go was a slave bought by a noble in the West. He finally escaped from the West to the vicinity of Isenbor, but was picked up by a passing ogre and finally given to Feisa.

Seeing that Fraser and the humans in River Bay were getting along harmoniously, the werewolves keenly realized that this place was more suitable for survival, so after returning to the tribe in the Fabados Mountains, they always wanted to lead their people to migrate here.

But the migration of the tribe was not something he could decide on his own. It dragged on for a whole year, and the werewolf tribe could no longer survive, so they came to the western wilderness.

Because they have been hunted by powerful humans for many years, they have great hatred for humans and are unwilling to come into contact with the river bend.

I am only willing to submit to Fraser and get a piece of land to survive.

Fraser was of course very happy to do so, so she gave them a newly discovered copper mine, let them settle down there, and found ways to provide them with food assistance.

Werewolves are highly intelligent creatures in the wilderness, at the top of the wilderness food chain. In terms of both physical fitness and intelligence, they surpass gnolls and wild boars, and are on par with orcs.

Their only natural enemy is humans. Once exposed to humans, they will often be slowly consumed by the huge number of humans.

Because Frasa needed to learn human knowledge in the river bend, the entire western industry was handed over to the newly promoted kobold shaman Strong for management.

Currently, Strong is in charge of the werewolf tribe, saltpeter mine and kobold watchtower workshop.

All these industries are located near World Tree Avenue west of Hekou Town.

Apparently Strong had a strong sense of responsibility, and when he saw two thousand Western Border cavalry approaching, he fought back without much thought.

After throwing Fesa to Freya, Leo brought his dragon scale horse and prepared to go see Fesa's big dog-headed man.

Ivan was a little worried and asked whether he should bring some soldiers with him.

Leo looked at Fisa, who was already a little panicked, and shook his head.

With only four Wind Knights, Marmot and Fisa, Leo set out onto the World Tree Avenue and headed west.
