Warlord: King of All Clans

As the city gates opened and the black flag of unity from Hewan flew over the city walls, Rigolav finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything in Hewan is always unexpected. From the moment refugees were recruited to establish the river mouth town, Rigolav began to not understand the various operations of Hewan.

Every month, new things flow out of the river bay, refreshing his knowledge.

The territory of Hewan was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye right under his nose.

Hekou Town, Gravel Fort, and Linhai Town.

The civilian settlement of 300 people expanded into a huge camp with a population of over 10,000 in the blink of an eye.

In just two years, the scattered and disorderly savages became elite imperial longbowmen, and the disorderly refugees became elite regular infantry.

It seemed as if there was some magic that allowed the lower-class common people who had no skills to soak in the magic pool of the river bend, and when they came out they would become talents that the noble lords would compete to recruit.

Now even kobolds can win battles!

The square-flag knight Rigolav had spent half his life in military service, and had personally led his troops to wipe out at least 8,000 alien populations, and had killed countless dog-headed people.

It was the first time he knew that the ogres, who had low intelligence, weak bodies, and had long been at the bottom of the food chain in the wilderness, could actually unleash such terrifying lethality.

He saw with his own eyes that the ogre gunner who had killed three armored knights with a single shot in the previous second, chased after the frightened rat that jumped out of the hole in the ground in the next second, and his teammates couldn't pull him back.

The armored knights, who posed the greatest threat to Petukhov's army, were defeated by such a group of opponents.

Fighting a war is like playing chess. One wrong move can lead to a complete loss of the whole game.

Without the support of the Kobold Artillery, Rigolav would not be able to deal with the Armored Knights under Tariq, and he would not choose to fight this tough battle.

Without being able to deal with the armored knights of the Adonis Legion, it would be impossible to protect the weak flanks and rear of the infantry legion.

If the infantry corps cannot be protected well, they will be attacked by the enemy's cavalry and lose the entire battle.

On the contrary, if you eliminate the opponent's knights, they will suffer the same fate.

However, Rigolav, who had just experienced the power of firearms, had not yet formed a clear tactical arrangement for it. He only wanted to advance slowly according to the traditional combat methods, using artillery as the final force, or simply using it in advance to blast open the opponent's infantry shield formation.

But the cunning Strong had different ideas. His target from beginning to end was the opponent's trump card force, and he did not have enough patience to counter each move.

The Minotaur Strong, who had a keen battlefield intuition, immediately realized that what would determine the outcome of the battle was the attack direction of the armored knights of the Adonis Legion.

In a cold weapon battle, no type of troops can stop the charge of the Armored Knights.

When they charged at the light cavalry, the light cavalry could only run away; when they charged at the infantry corps, the infantry corps could only scatter.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to lure them to charge at the artillery.

If the artillery cannot inflict heavy damage on the enemy in the first attack, the artillery units with difficulty in mobility will lose half of their threat.

The legion battle, which was originally going to be steady and long-lasting, with expected casualties to be equal, was decided by a single round of bombardment due to Strong's small suggestion.

The Niu-Tou Sleeping Dragon of Hewan reached the peak as soon as he debuted!

When Rigolav thought that this was the limit of the river bend, his unreliable adopted son once again informed him not to rush home after winning the battle, but to go to Isenpol City to continue playing.

Defeating one Adonis only makes you half full. Now that we are here, let’s go all out and take down Isenbol!

The soldiers of the Petukhov Corps filed into the city. Many of them had damaged armor, and some had bandages on their arms, but their morale was very high.

Just a day ago, they defeated the Adonis Legion, killing over a thousand and capturing over a thousand, but their own casualties were only over 300.

Countless war horses, armor, and food supplies were seized!

Because the entire battle did not last long, the casualties on both sides on the front battlefield were not great, only about one-tenth.

The remaining casualties occurred during the pursuit phase.

The armored soldiers of the Adonis Legion were not rookies either. Even when they were fleeing, they did not easily abandon their armor. Many of the centuries that retained their organization suddenly turned around and counterattacked during the escape phase, causing considerable casualties to the pursuers.

But in this kind of small-scale battle, the victorious side always has the advantage, and no matter how they fight back, they cannot escape the fate of defeat.

As the Petukhov family's light cavalry found time to join the pursuit, the infantry battalion of the Adonis Legion, whether they had preserved their armor or not, became a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

The defeated soldiers were exhausted after running as far as a dozen miles and finally chose to surrender. Only a few lucky ones hid in the mountains and forests and managed to escape.

Except for Bjorn's archers and Basarov's giant shield crossbowmen, Strong's kobold firearms team did not follow. After all, they were a foreign race and were not suitable to appear in human cities.

But they did not lose out. In order to reward this foreign army that helped the legion win a great victory, Rigolav ordered his personal soldiers to take them back to the nearest ancestral home of the Petukhov family and held a grand banquet to entertain them.

When they heard that there was going to be a feast, the gnolls ran away in a swarm, even leaving their artillery behind. Only a group of werewolves were left to clean up the mess, cursing.

Leo walked down the city wall to greet his adoptive father.

Beside Rigolav, there were eight more Rose Knights riding mid-level unicorns. When they saw Leo standing by the road, they all dismounted and saluted, "My Lord!"

Leo quickly said: "Thank you for your hard work!"

The eight Rose Knights were all covered in blood, and one Rose Knight was slightly injured.

For this expedition, except for two Rose Knights who stayed behind to assist Olivia, the remaining eight Rose Knights were all sent out by Leo to act as scouts.

The entire western part of Isenpor was under the joint control of the Rose Knights, Riverbend Scouts, and the Petukhov family light cavalry, and not a single piece of information leaked out.

The troop movement in Hewan has not yet reached the city of Isenpol.

No matter how elite the scouts of a mortal army are, the horses they ride cannot outrun the unicorns of the Rose Knights.

As the world's best light cavalry, the Rose Knights are also good at mounted archery. A single-handed, short bow and silver arrows are enough to block their own activity area.

The Petukhov Corps was five miles away from the city wall of Isenpor when nearby residents discovered them and quickly notified the city guards.

Before this, no scout had been able to pass through the outskirts of the city blocked by the Rose Knights and deliver back the news of the defeat of the Adonis Legion.

After several days of sleepless reconnaissance and combat, the Rose Knight was beginning to feel exhausted.

Looking at the bloody Rose Knight, Leo felt a little distressed. This was his core asset. "Everyone, take a good rest. I'll ask Olivia to make you something delicious when we get home!"

The Rose Knights looked at each other and snickered secretly.

But soon they couldn't laugh anymore. Freya quickly came out, climbed onto their unicorns' heads, and stretched out her hand, saying, "You are all beautiful women! I'll ask Sister Olivia to make delicious food for you when we get home!"

But this time, the Rose Knight didn't bring any delicious food, so he couldn't reward Freya for her flattery.

Freya's favorability decreased by one!
