Warlord: King of All Clans

Because westerlies are relatively short, weigh less than a thousand pounds, and have a much lower load-bearing capacity, most westerlies cannot become armored cavalry war horses and can only serve as light cavalry mounts.

Only a few rare species can bear the heavy horse armor and armored knights.

Therefore, the Western Territory is known for having tens of thousands of cavalrymen per capita, but in fact half of them are unarmored armed herdsmen.

This is also one of the reasons why the nomadic peoples in the west are unwilling to invade the north, but prefer to rob in the south.

Their short bows and bone arrows could easily kill the serfs in the south and drive the knights into the castle, but they could hardly deal with the fierce and warlike armored infantry and heavy longbows in the north.

Only when chaos breaks out in the northern earldom and the legion cannot be effectively formed, will the people from the western earls come to test the waters.

This time the expedition failed, but the casualties of the Western Cavalry were not high. Once they have recovered, they will probably come back to try again.

In addition to the spoils, Leo also saw the artillery squad that Strong had reorganized and trained.

This is an artillery team consisting of a werewolf warrior and three kobolds.

The strong werewolves were responsible for carrying the bronze cannons, while the kobolds were responsible for loading and firing.

In Leo's eyes, these homemade cannons and muskets made by the ogres were all substandard products. Their actual combat effectiveness was even worse than that of the cold weapon projection troops. It was simply a waste of gunpowder.

But the gnolls don't see it that way. In their view, a deafening roar is also a form of attack. Even if it cannot kill the enemy, the noise can scare many people.

It was normal for a kobold to be killed by a single arrow from an archer or crossbowman.

But when you hear a cannon shot, you can feel the trembling in your soul.

They would not attack the enemy from a long distance, but would rather risk their lives and get close to the enemy and shoot within fifty meters.

For some teams that were assigned light muskets, the kobolds would even take advantage of the werewolves not paying attention, sneak up to the enemy with the musket, and shoot at the enemy's face.

Then he threw away his musket and ran away, leaving the pursuing enemies to his confused werewolf brother.

Watching the kobold army disperse one by one and return home, Leo followed Strong to a werewolf tribe.

There is a copper mine discovered by the Gnolls here. Originally, Fraser arranged a small tribe of Gnolls with a population of about a hundred to open a mine here, but not long after, another copper mine was discovered that was closer to the river bend and more suitable for mining, so this place was abandoned.

After the werewolf clan migrated here, the leveled land, huts built, and caves dug here were just right for the werewolves to live in.

Now this place has become a small mountain village. In addition to the original sheds and caves, there is also a circle of wooden walls hung with various large animal bones.

This place is more than fifty miles away from the settlement in the river bend, and to the west there are more than a hundred miles of wilderness. The wild resources are enough for their survival.

Seeing Leo appear, the members of the werewolf tribe showed extremely uneasy emotions, and some warriors even tried to block them from entering.

But Fesha smelled the smell of exclusion. She angrily rode Freya to clear the way, ignoring the resistance of the werewolves, and broke directly into the werewolf tribe.

"Big Kobold! My people!" She stood in the open space in the werewolf village, introducing the werewolves and Leo at the same time, "Leo Mondo! Human friend!"

These wild and unruly werewolves do not have much submission to Fesa, and most of them are just a figurehead in the Gnoll tribe.

But they feared the minotaur Strong and Freya even more.

Because she was afraid that the werewolf would bite her butt, Freya changed her size to the maximum and became a giant earth bear, which successfully frightened the werewolf.

This also provided an invisible deterrent to Frasa. All the werewolves looked at this arrogant half-werewolf cub and chose to endure it.

As for Leo and his Wind Knights, all of them were wearing heavy scarlet armor and riding mid-level magical beasts, dragon-scale horses. Even if they stood there and let the werewolves bite them, they might not be able to break through the defense.

But Leo was somewhat dissatisfied with this implicit confrontation. Fesa wishfully regarded the werewolves as her own tribe, but he felt that the other party did not think so.

Isn't this just taking advantage?

So Leo rode his horse to the center of the werewolf village and declared his sovereignty, "Werewolves who have come from afar, I am the lord of humans, Leo Mondo, the master of this land."

"I declare that you are now the legal subjects of Riverbend, under the jurisdiction of the Gnoll King Fisa. You have the right to survive and reproduce here, but you also have the obligation to abide by the law. Any subjects who violate the laws of Riverbend will be expelled."

After saying this, he looked around and finally landed on the werewolf leader A Khan.

A Khan showed a hint of arrogance in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He took a step closer and knelt on one knee, "Thank you, sir."

This land does not belong to humans, but according to the rules of the wilderness, whoever has the bigger fist owns it.

Then he bowed to Fisa again, "The King of the Kobolds is also our king."

As the werewolf leader knelt and bowed his head, the members of the werewolf tribe, no matter how unwilling they were, could only prostrate themselves and bow their heads.

Feisa's tail was wagging quickly, "Woof woof woof, clever Feisa, you are also the king of the big dog-headed people!"

After declaring his sovereignty, Leo said to Akhan: "Next, I will send the kobolds to announce the laws of the river bend and help you rebuild your home. I hope you can keep my goodwill."

His tone was not enthusiastic, which alerted the A-Khan, who nodded quickly, "We will, the great kobold... We will follow in your Lordship's footsteps."

"Very good," Leo turned around, "I hope you will be more welcoming next time I come over."

After they came out of the werewolf tribe and were completely out of sight of the werewolves, the Wind Knight Wood who followed them said, "These werewolves are quite powerful. Are you safe leaving them here?"

Leo smiled, "Who knows? Werewolves are not as obedient as kobolds. Intimidation alone will be useless. But as long as the Riverbend remains strong, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Now there are fifty werewolf warriors who have joined the new Kobold army. After seeing the strength of the Riverbend, I believe they will know how to make choices."

Another Wind Knight, Carl, said with a smile, "Wood, what are you worried about? In the River Bend, ogres can be civilized people, so why can't werewolves be? I think the werewolf leader is a smart man. Maybe in a while, he will be our colleague."

Leo also looks forward to having a werewolf special forces unit serving under his name, but it will take time to eliminate the racial barriers, and forced service will only backfire.

Even the ogres, who naturally depend on the strong, had a big rift with Hewan at first, and it took them more than half a year to get along well with each other.

Werewolves with a deeper hatred for humans will take even longer to integrate into Riverbend.

After all, when a simple kobold is humiliated by humans, he will just whimper for a while and forget about it in a blink of an eye. But a werewolf will not be so humble and will fight back.

It would be better to let them get along with the kobolds for a while before letting them come in contact with humans.

Frasa, who had been worried that Hewan would not accept werewolves and therefore chose to hide it, was finally relieved when she saw that Leo had dealt with the problem of the werewolf tribe.

She rode on Freya's back, opened her paws and declared excitedly: "I, the clever Fisa! The king of the kobolds! The king of the fierce kobolds! The king of the big kobolds! I have two thousand dogs!"

When she was happy, she forgot the mistakes she had made.

But Freya didn't forget, and rushed forward with Feisa on her back, "Woof woof woof! Go home and watch Feisa get beaten!"
