Warlord: King of All Clans

Leo was really difficult to deal with. Strong led a group of ragtag men and, after one month of training and using gunpowder, he captured a city in River Bay.

Not only can they not be punished, they can only be rewarded heavily.

No matter how stupid the kobolds are, you can't completely ignore their ideas, especially when there are werewolves and ogres watching.

Strong led them to capture a city at a heavy price, but in the end they were punished by him. No one would be convinced.

But this unauthorized action was beyond his control and was a complete violation of military orders.

This time I gave him a surprise, but who knows if it will be a shock next time?

Leo could only point at him and whispered, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

As he said this, he lifted Xix up from his feet and held it high up. "General Xix of the Kobolds, take a city from the river bay! I will reward you with one hundred gold coins and fifty acres of land!"

The kobolds wagged their tails in unison.

Leo changed to something more understandable, "Reward her with a hundred cartloads of wheat cakes! More candy than she can eat!"

A group of dogs barked excitedly and went crazy with envy.

Since Strong took the blame for Six, there was no need for Strong to reward him, just reward Six.

Strong stood behind them, also very happy.

The clever minotaur seeks not fame and fortune, but the value of existence.

The more he demonstrated his military prowess, the more likely Leo would think of him first when a war broke out in the future.

As long as he is included in the battle, his status as a Gunpowder Shaman will rise rapidly!

But in order to prevent Leo from being wary of him, Strong still tried to explain, "It's not that I'm belligerent, it's that the people from the West are too bullying. Gnolls are also human beings, and they also need to survive!"

Leo nodded, "I don't blame you this time, I understand, but next time, you must notify me first."

Strong nodded and bowed hurriedly, "Strong knows! Strong understands!"

The development strategy of Hewan has always focused on developing eastward and northward. Both the United Knights Territory in the east and the Wolf-Driving Plains Forest outside the Gravel Hills are more suitable for development.

From the west to Buck Fortress, with an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers, 70% of the land is rugged mountains, except for the flat areas on both sides of the World Tree Avenue.

Therefore, the strategic deployment here has always been passive defense. If the Western Cavalry dares to come over, they will be beaten back. However, Leo has no intention of capturing Buck Fortress in the short term.

With several thousand defenders, Buck Fortress could only be captured by a reorganized army in the cold weapon era, which would have to pay a heavy price in blood.

The firearms force of Hewan has not yet matured, and Leo is unwilling to waste his own manpower under this city wall.

But with this strategy, the kobolds became the ones who suffered the most, as they were completely under pressure from the West.

The horse thieves and reconnaissance cavalry in the West come and go like the wind. They can burn, kill and loot everywhere in the western wilderness, or retreat to Buck Fortress to rest and replenish.

During the year when the main cavalry of the Western Territory was repelled by Strong, small-scale battles between the two sides continued to occur in these two hundred miles of wilderness.

The Western Cavalry didn't make any money, but the Gnoll Tribe wasn't having a good time either.

Aqhan's werewolf tribe used half of its combat power for hunting and the other half for fighting against the Western Cavalry, resulting in many casualties in a year.

So different positions lead to different ideas.

If the living areas of the River Bend humans and the Gnolls were swapped, and the human living areas were harassed and looted every day by the Western Cavalry, Leo would have already brought a large army and risked his life to capture Fort Buck.

Isn’t this how the gnoll coalition and troll army of Wolf Exorcist Plain perished?

Leo had to consider the development of the entire river bend and could only focus on the eastern part which was easier to develop and grow, rather than the western part which was thankless and difficult.

But Strong was in charge of the Gnoll Tribe and naturally couldn't stand this oppression.

Walking up to the city wall, Leo said to the wounded Aqhan: "Good job, you've worked hard."

Akehan lowered his head quickly, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

He is still kept in the dark, thinking that this offensive was ordered by the Lord of River Bay, and has no idea that he has been deceived.

Leo made a direct promise, "Your heroic performance deserves recognition. I hereby promise that the forest to the north of the werewolf settlement and Buck Fortress will now belong to the werewolf tribe."

"Werewolf Akhán, I appoint you as the Shadow Claw Knight, the lord of the Shadow Claw Knight Territory."

A Khan's werewolf clan is called the Shadow Claw Clan. According to the rules of the empire, if the population exceeds 500 and can provide the combat power of a corner flag, it is considered a qualified pioneer.

Since Leo recognized that they were law-abiding citizens of Riverbend, they should be treated equally.

A Khan was overjoyed and prostrated himself on the ground, "Merciful human lord, werewolf... big dog-headed man A Khan, I am willing to swear allegiance to you until death."

The Werewolf Tribe is eighty kilometers away from Buck Fortress, and the World Tree Avenue is nearly twenty kilometers away from the magnificent barrier, which means one thousand six hundred square kilometers of forest. Leo assigned it to the Werewolf Tribe and it became the territory of the Shadow Claw Knights.

Such a large piece of land is more than enough for the current werewolf tribe to survive and reproduce.

He migrated from the Southern Mountains and had some knowledge of human territory. Such a large piece of land was equivalent to a barony for the human race in the Southern Territory.

After Olivia finished scolding her men and calmed down, she also went up to the city wall and began to heal the werewolf warriors lying on the wall.

The strength of these individuals is comparable to that of low-level extraordinary werewolf warriors of the human race, and their own recovery capabilities are extremely strong. Under the healing of Olivia's holy light, the seriously injured and dying soldiers quickly opened their eyes and were out of danger.

With simple bandaging and bone correction, these werewolf warriors will be able to jump around and recover their combat effectiveness after a while.

Olivia's actions also won the respect of the werewolf warriors. When these alien races who rejected humans saw Olivia, they would bow their heads to show their submission.

Standing on the city wall, Leo looked out over the fortress.

Buck Fortress is only twice as big as Gravel Fort and one-third the size of Isenpor City, but it is still much larger than those square flag earthen forts in the north, so it deserves the name of a "fortress".

This checkpoint was built hundreds of years ago. It was originally used to defend against invasions by nomadic peoples from the west, so the other side of the city wall is considered the main defense surface.

Therefore, the northern side is actually the "inside" of this checkpoint, and the urban area on the other side is the "outside" of the checkpoint.

However, it had been occupied by people from the western border for several decades. All the buildings inside the pass were demolished, and the living area was forcibly moved outside the pass.

Buck Fortress is located at the highest point of Buck Pass. There is a slope on both sides, and the western side is steeper. Standing on the city wall, you can see very far.

Beyond the small and cluttered urban area, there is a savanna outside, and further away it becomes an endless grassland.

Just separated by the Buckborough Mountains, the scenery and climate of the West and North are completely different.

Leo was very excited to be able to build a checkpoint for free "without spending a single soldier", which would protect the western part of the river bend from invasion. He couldn't help feeling refreshed when he saw the magnificent scenery of the western border.

As he was watching, Strong came over with several prisoners.

"Mighty Leo, my lord, this is the slave I captured! He was said to be a high-ranking official in the fortress!"
