Warlord: King of All Clans

When the confession was over, Dorn breathed a sigh of relief and immediately wagged his tail happily.

Around him were four or five friends from the Holy Light Choir, who together filled the small confessional.

Beside each of them, there were several half-opened books. Whenever a believer came to confession or encountered a problem, they would quickly flip through the books beside Dorn and provide him with the answers.

There are professional books here, such as the Basic Law of the Empire, the Law of the River Lords, the Holy Light Canon, the New Regulations for Refugees, etc., but more of them are a bunch of common language dictionaries.

There are human children, kobold children, and orc children in the Holy Light Choir, and now there is a silly troll child.

Several little kids of different skin colors and shapes looked at the golden-haired kobold Dorn with envy.

After he awakened the holy light, he became the leader of the choir and the king of children in the Holy Light Church.

Although he is over three years old, he is already an adult according to the kobolds.

But the mental age of the newly adult kobolds is not much older than that of human children, so Dorn still gets along well with the little kids.

This is the second month that the kobold Dorn has taken over from Father DeWitt. Now he is able to basically solve most of the believers' problems and does not need much help from his companions.

Since the large-scale development of the United Knights' Territory started, Father DeWitt has also become busy. As a medical volunteer of the River Bay Territory, he frequently travels to various villages to provide medical assistance to the villagers of the United Knights' Territory.

Tens of thousands of refugees poured in, and the number of disabled and sick patients was not small. Accidents were inevitable during the large-scale development process.

The busy Olivia couldn't take care of everyone, and the medical team formed by the Lord's Mansion did not have enough medical supplies.

Although Father DeWitt's actions may seem like an attempt to spread the Holy Light Doctrine, Leo also strongly supports it.

If every Holy Light monk could work as hard as DeWitt, Leo himself would be willing to worship the Holy Light.

So every time Father DeWitt went out, his kobold apprentice Dorn would be responsible for his work in the Cathedral of Holy Light.

Dorn looked at the books on the table and thought about his own identity.

"Woof woof! If my Holy Light is not recognized by the Holy Light Church, I will change my career and become a judge!"

The Riverbend Lord's Court only respects the law, no matter what race you are!

After Stein finished his confession, he prayed softly in the Church of Holy Light and made a sincere prayer for the Mistress of the River Bay who saved him.

After completing this set of necessary procedures every night, he walked towards the ancestral temple nearby.

He was a Basaka savage, and like most of the believers of the Holy Light in River Bay, he didn't even know what the Holy Light was. He only worshipped because of the existence of the River Bay Madam and Father DeWitt.

Their true faith lies in the Temple of the Ancestors, where the god of war Tyr and the ancestor Basaka are enshrined.

Although holy light is useful, ancestors are also very important and we cannot favor one over the other.

As soon as he walked out of the ancestral temple, Stein saw several guards escorting a drunk strong man towards the outside of the town.

The drunk was escorted away by the guards, still shouting: "Why are you arresting me? Do you know who I am? Call your superior out! Are you Vichi's soldier? Or Moros's soldier? I'm telling you, I can send you back home to farm with just one word from me!"

A large group of townspeople followed behind in silence.

This sturdy man was a famous person in Riverbend Town. Stein quickly pulled a familiar town resident and asked in a low voice, "What has Wu Jin done wrong again? Why is he being detained outside? Isn't he being locked up to sober up?"

"Drunk and spreading rumors." The townsman shook his head repeatedly and gestured to lock his throat in a low voice, "Take him to the execution ground outside and hang him."

Stein's scalp numbed when he heard this, and he quickly grabbed the townsman and said, "What kind of rumor is this? You sentenced him to death by hanging? Is there such a law in Hewan?"

The townspeople whispered, "It's all they deserve. Fighting in Rusev's tavern is fine, but they talked about the Lord's family's gossip, and the guests couldn't stand it, so they dragged them all to the Lord's mansion. Lord Ulyaan was angry and sentenced them to death by hanging for all the crimes."

Stein got angry when he heard that, "That's damn right!"

The townspeople agreed and nodded repeatedly. "In my opinion, the Lord's Mansion was too lenient. This guy died too late. It would have been fine if he had committed corruption and bribery and violated laws and disciplines, but he actually dared to fabricate faults against the Lord."

Stein felt that the other party's previous sentence was correct, but the next sentence was questionable.

However, his point of view is the more common value of this era and is difficult to refute.

The two followed the townspeople to the gallows outside Riverbend Town, watched Wu Jin being put on the gallows, and listened to the guards reading out Wu Jin's crimes.

Then a Riverbend Guard pulled a lever, and the pedal beneath Wugin's feet dropped down.

The drunken Wu Jin struggled for a while and then died.

This veteran of the River Bay Development Territory and the negative example of River Bay Town died just like that.

Stein watched Wu Jin's body gradually become motionless, and his heart remained calm.

The development of Hewan is too fast. Those who fail to seize the opportunity will be left far behind by others. The existence of people like Wu Jin who hinder development has already determined their fate.

Few of the townspeople who were watching felt anything unusual. They just felt that some unpleasant memories of the past had disappeared along with Wu Jin.

In the lord's house, Ulyaan sat on the lord's throne, and below him were clan elders such as Rusev, Rashka, and Valeri.

Wu Jin had just been sentenced to hanging, and the atmosphere in the lord's mansion was a bit depressing.

Wu Jin is only two years younger than Valeri, and can be considered to be of the same generation as Ulian. He is an elder of the River Bay who migrated thousands of miles from their hometown in the north with them. Based on seniority, Leo has to call him uncle.

Although he had never been a soldier, he was brave enough to kill wolves and fight tigers.

When he was in the north, he was already one of the militia captains under Uliyang.

When the second military expansion of Hewan took place, he also transformed himself and became one of the major officers of the lord's army, second only to Leo and Vici.

Unfortunately, this stubborn guy did not abide by military discipline in the army and refused to change despite repeated admonitions, and was finally expelled by Leo.

After using all his connections, he finally got a middle-level management title in the Hewan Engineering Team, but he repeatedly committed corruption and was eventually exposed.

Although Uliyang was ruthless to outsiders, he still had feelings for his own people. In the end, he did not execute him, but only confiscated his property and land.

With nothing left, Ugin spends all day drinking in Rusev's tavern.

Rusev wanted to give him a shop to run, but Wu Jin, who had been a superior person, did not accept the offer.

The disabled veterans and former officers of the River Bend would often gather here and form a veterans association, where they would often tease Wu Jin.

Looking at his former colleagues, the capable ones became senior officers in the River Bay Lords' Army, while the incompetent ones retired and at least became wealthy small landowners.

Even the soldiers under his command have been promoted to sergeants and started preparing for the knight assessment, looking like decent men.

But he was still a pauper, and Wu Jin finally burst into negative emotions.

He deliberately caused trouble in Rusev's tavern, spreading rumors and venting his dissatisfaction.

The great Lord Uliyan was just a small soldier in the front line. He had been serving in the army for many years and had never returned home. The mother and daughter at home relied on a wild man to survive.

The little lord Leo is nothing but a bastard without parents. Now that he has become a son-in-law and married into a wealthy family, he has turned against him and refused to acknowledge him as his uncle.

He was an officer who was ranked among the top five in terms of seniority in the Hewan Army, but he did not receive any respect he deserved. Not only was he forced to retire, but his house was also raided without any reason. This was simply destroying the bridge after crossing it.

Unfortunately, his words could only fool the merchants and refugees from other places. As for the local residents of Hewan, even if they were illiterate, who didn't like to listen to the daily announcement made by the announcer?

They knew exactly what Wu Jin had done.

As the oldest elder of the Lavard clan, Rusev did not plead for Ugin this time, but his old face looked three points older.

He knocked heavily on his gold and jade pipe - a gift from Leo from the imperial capital. "It's better to hang him! It will save Leo from trouble when he comes back."

Valeri also nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then let's do it simply. According to Leo's rules, print it into an official document, send it to the four towns, read it to all the management, and let them pay attention to it."

Uliyan was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and called over Savinting, "Let's do it."
