Warlord: King of All Clans

Following the Isenkulov family's caravan into the city, Leo casually checked the surrounding situation.

According to Arnold Isenkulov, in addition to the 200 armored infantry provided by the lord's mansion, Isenpol's regular defense force also includes a standing army of 300 people.

They form the city guard and are responsible for daily patrols.

In addition, there is a militia group formed by citizens in the city and villagers in the suburbs, with 500 people stationed on the city wall for a long time to serve as auxiliary troops.

During wartime, the number of troops defending the city will double.

If the army is at the gates of the city, the lord will massively recruit nearby square and corner flags to come into the city for support, and it is normal to double the military strength, which is a full 4,000 people.

Now, because the central flag Adonis in the city led the people to fight, there were less than a thousand people left on the city wall.

However, a thousand local garrisons who were familiar with the city walls and relying on the nine-meter-high walls were enough to withstand attacks by three times the number of enemy troops.

An ordinary small square-flag army would have no way of taking a city of 20,000 people.

Leo walked along the wall to check on the defenders.

The back of this soldier's helmet was made of a layer of paper-thin iron sheet that looked like it could be flattened with a fist.

The warrior's sword was recast from a broken sword, so it was not capable of being chopped with great force. With his current strength, he could break it with a flick of his finger.

Ah, that lady has nothing on underneath.

As Leo walked, he practiced the intermediate combat skill "Mind's Eye" that he had just acquired.

This is the superb eyesight acquired by the Beast Sword Master from hundreds of years of combat experience, which can easily see through the truth.

Although it is very useful, it will consume a little magic power, and the more Leo uses it, the more magic power it consumes.

Extraordinary people on the physical side can actively use magic to perform combat skills only when they reach the intermediate level, but their spells are not as magical as those on the magic side, and they are not born with the ability, but require a long period of study and training.

Although Leo cannot fully master his mind, as his training deepens, he is able to see more and more flaws.

"If this continues, I can become an appraiser, or even a charlatan."

A small rat head popped out from under his shirt, "Leo is looking at a beauty! Tell Sister Olivia when you get home! It will take a fruit to keep her quiet!"

"Here, here, here!" Leo was no longer childish. He skillfully took out a dried fruit from his pocket and stuffed it into Freya's hand.

After long-term contact with humans, Freya learned to act like a spoiled child, to sulk, to flatter and to threaten, and she was just short of cheating and deceiving.

As Leo blended into the city, more and more "merchants", "craftsmen" and "mercenaries" followed the flow of people from the port into the city.

The performance of these people is consistent with their professional identities. The merchants have money, the craftsmen have vision and skills, and the mercenaries are brave.

Hans, who was guarding the city, even saw an extraordinary adventure group entering the city.

However, since they were not wearing standard armor or heavy weapons, they did not cause Hans any concern.

A low-level extraordinary person without armor is just an enhanced version of an ordinary strong man, and can also be shot to death by a crossbow or stabbed to death by a spear.

Except for the magic system, a small number of ordinary extraordinary people cannot cause much trouble in front of the organized army.

As Arnold, the head of the Isenkulov family, and Rudolf, the head of the Hobert family, arrived in person with their troops and were led into the city by Tariq's personal soldiers, Hans began to feel optimistic.

After Sir Tariq was declared earl, not many lords supported him, and almost half of them were neutral.

Of course, there are even fewer people who oppose it, as not everyone is as stubborn as the Petukhov family.

After all, Tariq has been the city lord of Isenpol for more than ten years. The team under his command and the families he supports are all very powerful. If a real fight breaks out, the Fangqi family will not be in any good situation.

However, after claiming the title of Earl for so long, the neutral family still shows no signs of giving in, which makes people a little worried.

If the neutral families do not submit, even if Petukhov is suppressed, Tariq will not be able to form a large army and go north to conquer his two brothers. Then the title of Earl of the North will be in name only.

How could there be an earl in the North who only has one city?

One third of the Earldom of Fruilov was originally occupied by the orcs, and the remaining three cities were also occupied by the three sons.

If we fail to unify in time, we will sooner or later be targeted by our surrounding neighbors who are eyeing us covetously.

Prior to this, Tariq used the Petukhov family's rebellion as an excuse to recruit the surrounding square and corner flags to defend the city, but except for the Adonis family and his affiliated corner flags, the other three square flags all shirked their responsibilities.

Even the northern corner flags, which had been allied with the Gladstone family, could no longer perform knightly service on the grounds that their knighthood had been plundered by foreign races.

But in the final analysis, isn't it just a denial of Tariq's title of earl?

At this time, the neutral Isenkulov family and the Hobert family were invited to bring their troops to Isenpol, which undoubtedly opened up the situation.

They represent half of the people's hearts in Isenbol's local forces. Once they submit to Tariq, they will be able to raise a full legion of 6,000 people for him at any time.

The heads of the two major flag families each brought two hundred elite soldiers to support Isenbol. The knights with the corner flags received the notice and rushed over with their troops.

The next day, news suddenly came from the west gate that Petukhov’s army was approaching the city wall!

The East Gate City Guard was also urgently dispatched to the West Gate. As soon as the City Guard Captain Hans climbed up the city wall, he saw the young man who entered the city yesterday, hanging around on the wall. He couldn't help but shout, "What are you doing up there?"

As he said this, he glared fiercely at the soldiers guarding the city next to him. It was wartime now, how could outsiders rashly climb up to the top of the city wall?

The soldiers guarding the city were also innocent, because Leo said he was a conscripted laborer responsible for guarding the city, and no one had time to verify his identity in the chaos.

Leo smiled and said, "I'll help defend the city."

Hans still had some respect for the armorer, so he could only slow down his tone and say, "I appreciate your kindness, but without armor to protect yourself, you will die in a hail of arrows. Hurry down to the city to hide."

"Yes, yes." Leo said quickly, "I'll put it on right away."

As he spoke, Leo walked down the city wall, into the crowd, and began distributing armor.

A large group of people gathered in the open space under the city. They were all tall, burly men, but all dressed in linen clothes.

Because they did not get close to the city wall, were orderly and did not cause chaos, the soldiers defending the city just thought they were members of the militia who came to provide assistance.

Leo took out eleven sets of three-hundred-pound scarlet armor from his small backpack and small pockets, and gave them to himself and the "extraordinary adventurers" respectively.

He also took out three hundred sets of legion chain mail and armed Vic and other "craftsmen" and "mercenaries".

In addition, there were piles of steel helmets, leather round shields, steel swords, and short spears.

In order to accommodate these equipment, Leo brought both Freya and Fesa's space props.

And within three days, the three hundred elite infantrymen of Hewan, all unarmed, disguised as civilians, dispersed into the city!

Teams of Hewan infantry walked up the city walls and took up their battle posts amid the puzzled gazes of the defending troops.
