Warlord: King of All Clans

In order to avoid unknown dangers, Leo withdrew the River Bay delegation from the imperial capital, leaving himself alone to handle affairs in the imperial capital.

Others who are qualified to pass through the portal are also prohibited from leaving the palace and contacting outsiders.

With the Sword Master Algernon and the Elf Queen Ostara in the palace, it would be pure bad luck if something could go wrong.

This caused Leo to become very busy. He carried Fesha's small schoolbag every day and resold supplies on both ends. He was busy until dark every day before going home.

However, this also avoided some conflicts. Blatant smuggling would easily cause resentment. Even with the tacit approval of Charles VII, there were people inside and outside the palace who disliked him.

It was different when he was carrying his small schoolbag. All forces in the imperial capital stared at him with ill intentions, but they had no idea what he was doing.

So in the eyes of outsiders, he was just a stranger wandering around the imperial capital.

Alchemist Master Freeman and Charles VII both provided him with considerable help. All the high-quality furs and monster materials produced in the river bay were sold through their channels at a price five times higher than that in Isenbol City.

The prices of spices, tea and silk from the imperial capital would at least increase tenfold in Isenbor.

In comparison, the mass-produced plate armor, which Leo originally thought was the most profitable, turned out to have far less profit.

Although the mass-produced plate armor in the South Territory is cheap, it also has a flaw, that is, it is not as fit as the tailor-made knight plate armor. Most of it can only be distributed to civilian soldiers to form heavy armored elite infantry regiments.

But apart from a few great earls, there were not so many elite soldiers in heavy armor in the North. Moreover, to the great nobles, the life of a civilian soldier was not as valuable as a set of qualified plate armor.

If they were given a set of wrought iron plate armor produced in a small workshop, they would also be called heavy armor elite.

If it really doesn't work, recruiting three times more regular soldiers will be enough to make up for the level of elite troops with the number of troops.

So of the 1,000 sets of Imperial Plate Armor that Leo wholesaled, except for 500 sets that were distributed to his own lord's army, the remaining 500 sets have not been sold out yet.

Although he could store them and sell them to surrounding cities of Isenbol, the payback rate would be too slow compared to luxury goods such as spices, jewelry, silk, etc. from the imperial capital.

Leo's little backpack carried goods back and forth every day, earning eight times the money with tears, and hundreds of gold coins came in every day, surpassing the most profitable gold mine in the river bend in one fell swoop.

Hewan's own caravan and the Petukhov family's caravan are now staying in Hewan Town, concentrating on digesting this piece of fat meat.

Riverbend's own caravans were still inexperienced and did not yet have the ability to trade abroad, but the Petukhovs' caravans were able to sell goods to Ilanrado and Abros.

Of course, this trade is entirely based on the Elf Queen's portal. Once the portal is closed, this quick money can no longer be earned.

Therefore, Leo was not in a hurry at all regarding the task assigned by the Elf Queen. A few days of delay was no big deal.

In order to expand rapidly, the River Reach Territory has almost spent all the gifts from the Imperial Princess, the rewards from the Northern Duke, and its own savings.

Starting from the second half of the year, the company basically relied on the gold mine in Gravel Castle to provide funds and purchase large quantities of supplies in Isenpol.

If the productivity of River Bay Territory itself is to be insufficient to feed the thirty thousand refugees settled in the United Knights Territory and to distribute enough tools and materials for reclamation, it will be far from enough.

Of course Leo would take this opportunity to make up for it.

Under the envious gaze of the royal caravan manager, Leo completed the handover of today's supplies and then came to the princess's bedroom.

After several operations, the manager of the royal caravan and the butler under Master Freeman were familiar with Leo's procedures. Basically, Leo no longer needed to negotiate in person. He only needed to hand the list of supplies to them, and they would receive the desired goods the next day.

Leo's small backpack can only be regarded as a small caravan. This size is nothing for an imperial capital with a population of one million and the center of the human race.

However, the profits he could obtain were so great that even the royal caravan, which enjoyed a monopoly, would envy and hate him.

Leo, who finally had some free time, went to see the little mouse.

In the Princess's chamber the mouse sat on the bed, in a circle with Sikes and Ostara, and they each held a hand of cards.

The little mouse and Ostara both stared at Six fiercely, waiting for her to play her cards.

There were several notes stuck on both of their foreheads, obviously they had lost badly.

Six had to try very hard to grab the cards with his short claws, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two people staring at him.

She carefully threw out four Qs, "Explode."

The other two were discouraged and said, "I can't afford it."

"King bomb."

"I can't bear it."

After Six threw the last card in his hand, he acted very innocent, but his tail hidden behind his back was wagging rapidly.

Although she is stupid, she is very lucky.

Leo walked in and saw the three men still playing cards, and he was immediately relieved.

Although he didn't like playing cards, he was well aware of its power. In order to keep the Elf Queen, he had to use cards, play Landlord, and let the little mouse help him keep the Elf Queen.

Sure enough, the Elf Queen, who had just learned how to play cards, immediately became addicted to it. She even stopped catching goldfish and spent the whole day hiding in the princess's bedroom playing Landlord.

The imperial capital also had similar playing cards, but they were not very entertaining and were mostly used for divination. Because they could easily involve dangerous witchcraft, they were not widely spread.

Leo asked someone to make a complete deck of modern playing cards, took out the rules of Landlord, and easily controlled the playful Queen.

He would come to inspect the situation every now and then, and if the Elf Queen had had enough of playing, he would be ready to play mahjong.

Leo just came in, and Six had just won a card game. He blurted out, "Ana, do you miss home?"

Leo immediately glared at her and gave her a death stare.

But Ostara was completely unaware, shuffling the cards quickly and shouting, "I'm having fun here, I don't miss home!"

Seeing Leo coming in, the little mouse jumped off the bed quickly and threw himself into Leo's arms.

Noreen, who was guarding the door behind him, couldn't help but cough softly, and the little mouse reluctantly let go of Leo.

Although Noreen also enjoyed watching Leo and the little mouse interact, this young adoptive father was not officially recognized and the age gap was too small, so a certain etiquette had to be maintained.

Leo picked up the little mouse and threw it back on the bed. He looked at the card trio and thought of Freya, feeling a little ashamed.

If Freya knew that she was working hard to defend Buck Fortress while they were happily playing cards in the palace, she would probably cry out on the spot.

After Leo talked to the mouse for a while, Noreen came over and motioned for him to come out.

After they went out, Norin said, "Xia came over just now and said that Knight Uliyan was looking for you."

Leo nodded and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"He didn't go into detail. He just said there was a new situation in the north and asked you to return quickly."

"I see."

Before Leo could walk away, Ostara, who was playing cards, suddenly raised her head and sniffed, "I smell something bad!"

Six and Mouse looked at her blankly.

Ostara looked at Six and said, "Smell it carefully again."

The little dog-headed man Six tried to sniff, his tail gradually stood up, and then he woofed and chased Leo out.
