Warlord: King of All Clans

Although the upper blocks of the River Bay Town have been placed under martial law and outsiders are prohibited from entering the vicinity of the Lord's House, the Lord's House is the highest place on the River Bay Peninsula. The green light emitted by the teleportation light gate at the door cannot be blocked and can be seen from a distance at the town gate.

Savinting, who helps Uliyan manage the administrative affairs of the river bay town, took the opportunity to open several watchtowers to tourists, allowing tourists to overlook the magical teleportation light gate from afar.

Allies like Rigolav can still enter and exit Riverbend House freely.

Rigolav, who finally had some free time, brought his eldest son Romon to the river bend to learn about the development experience here.

During the time he was in charge of Isanpor, although he was unable to make Isanpor develop as rapidly as Hewan, it was much better than Tariq's previous de-urbanization management.

The public security in Isenpor was stabilized, and the city's strong vitality was immediately reflected. Handicrafts and commerce flourished, and tax revenue increased significantly every month.

Seeing the rise of River Bay, Rigolav had many ideas and tried to implement some new policies in Isenpol. Unfortunately, as Leo had guessed, he immediately encountered huge resistance.

The newly issued decree was almost resisted from top to bottom and ultimately came to nothing.

Today's Isenbol seems to be increasingly prosperous on the surface, but it is still the same at heart, except that areas such as public security and sanitation, which do not offend traditional forces, have been greatly improved.

However, the five knight territories in the hands of the Petukhov family were reorganized by Rigolav in the same way as Hewan, and they underwent a complete transformation.

The more he studied the development of Hewan, the more shocked he felt, so he couldn't help but come to Hewan to take a look and discuss the experience of managing the territory with Uliyan.

But the result was obviously not ideal. Uliyan was very good at fooling people and was a good bandit leader, but he could hardly have his own opinions on the current development of Hewan.

He now reluctantly helps Leo and Olivia to manage this prosperous river bay town so that the young couple who are working outside can have no worries.

On the contrary, it was Savinting, the little dog-headed man beside Ulian, who was able to answer some of Rigolav's questions.

Rigolav was still very concerned about his adopted son's growth, and couldn't help asking, "What has Leo been doing these days?"

Wu Liyan immediately scolded: "You are idle! You are not doing your job! You have no ambition!"

The kobold secretary, Savin, nodded frantically.

Rigolav was confused, "Who is in charge of the territory?"

"My daughter Olivia."

"What? You are so careless. What if something goes wrong?"

"If something goes wrong, look for Leo."

After an afternoon of ineffective communication, Rigolav couldn't help but feel discouraged and began to doubt how these peasants in Hewan could live such a prosperous life.

Normally, an operator of this level would make a mistake every three steps, but Hewan didn't take a single wrong step from beginning to end!

Seeing Leo coming back, Rigolav couldn't help but blame him, "You, you! You're just hanging around outside all day long, not managing the territory properly. You're really too unambitious!"

"If the Grand Duke saw you like this, he would regret accepting you as his son."

Leo was confused. "I've been keeping a close eye on it. How fast is River Bay developing? Is there anything about River Bay that I don't know?"

Rigolav was furious. "I'm talking about Isenbol!"

"Aren't you in charge of Isenbol?"

Rigolav shook his head and said, "Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be naive? Don't just hide in the mountains and farm. Isenbor is your foundation. Without a city, how can you survive in the North? If there is an invasion from outside, will you rely on these small towns?"

"No matter how powerful River Bay is, how many soldiers can it have? If you don't win over the nobles of Isembol, who will be willing to fight with you when the time comes?"

Leo was now more familiar with Rigolav, so he didn't have to hold back as he did before, fearing that he would hurt his feelings. He said bluntly, "I really despise those nobles in Isenbol. As long as they don't hold me back, I will tolerate them continuing to be rich. If they really piss me off, I will just get rid of them."

After the last battle against the troll army, Leo had already realized that it was extremely difficult to reform this group of feudal lords and it would be a completely thankless task.

Since they will join you in a war and won't allow you to interfere with the management of their territory, there's no point in caring about it. Just maintain the status quo.

When Hewan grows to the point where it crushes the times, these local rich people can only witness the changes of the times and either actively join in or be passively eliminated.

If we touch them now, not only will we suffer serious consequences, but we will also lack legal basis and it will be difficult to convince the public.

In Leo's eyes, the lords of Isenbor are not as important as the refugees in the river bend.

The refugees from the river bend can become his loyal followers even if they are supported for three years, but the lord of Isenpol can only support them for a lifetime and they will only be his vassals.

Rigolav is the local lord with the greatest military talent and business ability Leo has ever seen, but he still cannot escape the limitations of a feudal lord. All he cares about are land, population and vassals.

His ambition was also limited to transforming from a small feudal lord to a big feudal lord.

In the feudal era, it took hundreds of years to build a city, which was an unattainable inheritance for a small knight lord.

Leo didn't care about Isenbol at all, which made Rigolav hard to accept.

However, Rigolav now also vaguely discovered that although Leo seemed to have no ambition at all, in fact his ambition was so big that the little Isenbol could not bear it.

In other words, this era cannot bear it.

For Leo now, whether he can become a great feudal lord is just a matter of time, so it is normal that he is not serious about it.

So he could only persuade her, "You have your own ideas, which is great, but Ethanbol also needs to pay attention. Politics is not played like this. Now Ethanbol has become my one-man show. How can this work? Olivia knows to check the accounts when she has nothing to do, but you don't ask at all."

"What if I have some plans? Or if an enemy invades and I take the opportunity to establish myself, what will you do?"

Leo was happy. "You are my godfather. If you want to beat me, just come over and whip me. What do you want to do by being independent in Isenbol?"

Fearing that Rigolav might worry, Leo threatened: "The walls of Isenbol are not low, and my artillery is not at a disadvantage."

Strong, the minotaur who had been hiding in the corner and competing with Obi for food, quickly approached after hearing this, "What? Attack Isenbol? Give me ten carts of gunpowder and I can take it down in one day!"

Leo kicked him away, "Get out of here!"

Rigolav looked at the gang of ruffians in Hewan and was speechless for a moment. He could only forcefully say, "I don't care. You must arrange a confidant to go to the lord's mansion in Isenpol to assist me in governing the country, so as to avoid being criticized."

Leo had no choice but to look around the house and ask, "Who is willing to be my confidant?"

All the people who could enter and exit the big house had been cheated by Leo countless times. When they heard the trick, they felt that there was a trick and looked up at the sky.

His eldest son, Roman, found their conversation very interesting. Other families were all scheming and fighting for power, but here in Hewan, everyone was worried that the other party would suffer a loss.

Seeing that Rigolav was furious, Leo quickly took out the gift he had bought and said, "Foster father, this is the gift I bought for you in the empire."

Rigolav picked up the golden brooch and listened to Leo's introduction of its function. He felt relieved and thought that this adopted son could still be saved.
