Warlord: King of All Clans

After returning to the palace, Leo made another important move and instructed his naval commander Denise, "Help me write another article saying that the Elf Queen is going south to the City of Holy Light to meet with the Pope."

He hesitated for a moment and had originally planned to let Denise hint in the text that this decision was made because Bishop Antonisse did not take action, and the Elf Queen had to look for other allies.

But when he thought of Ostara's words, he gave up the idea.

If Antonisse is not a bad person, then he doesn't want to ruin other people's reputation, so he can only play a supporting role and put pressure on him.

Denise on the side readily agreed. Historians like her were also targets of suppression by the Church of Holy Light.

Because the study of history cannot avoid the Holy Light Church, and the history of the Holy Light Church cannot be traced. Only the church's top leaders have the right to interpret it. Research by outsiders is tantamount to blasphemy.

You simply want to restore the truth, but the Church of Holy Light will only think that you want to expose their past.

As a native of the imperial capital, she also believed in the Holy Light and was unwilling to start a conflict with the church, but if someone was wrestling with the church, she would be happy to take sides.

Moreover, as a literature lover, seeing your manuscript cause a sensation also brings you great pleasure.

After hearing Leo's request, Denise seriously offered advice and expressed her concerns. "Among the major newspapers in the imperial capital, one has a royal background and is an official newspaper. They will definitely support you. But there is also one that leans towards the church and is the mouthpiece of the church. I didn't notice it last time, so this time they will definitely not publish your article again."

"It's still good now. If time goes on for too long, once the church recovers, I'm afraid all newspapers will boycott your opinions."

Leo nodded. "This is also the reason why I was reluctant to use public opinion to force the Saint Order in the beginning. The influence of the church is terrifying. If the other party fights back vigorously, it may cause a reversal of public opinion, which will do more harm than good."

Denise said seriously, "So you have to strike hard and win with one blow. You are still too conservative."

Leo looked at Denise and was surprised. "That's not what you said last time. I didn't expect you to be a radical. It's a pity that you are not a politician."

Denise smiled. "Either do nothing, or do something big."

Leo was a little dazed. The noble lady in front of him looked gentle and refined, but was actually a very daring person.

She is a traditional noble lady, but she is also an explorer who dares to lead an extraordinary adventure group deep into the wilderness of the North.

Hearing what Denise said, Leo gritted his teeth and said, "Then add some more ingredients, Queen, can you release group illusions like Master Bobak?"

Ostara was annoyed, "Oh, just do it directly, why make it so complicated! Why are you the same as Brother Bobak!"

Leo launched a verbal attack, "You're not going to do that, are you?"

Ostara was very angry, "Isn't it possible for me to learn even if I don't know how?"

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

As they were discussing their plot, the little mouse came over, with a bitter face, and told Leo depressedly: "My father won't let me go to the treasury. He said I can go only when I am an adult."

"Have you written the letter to your grandfather?"

“It has already been sent.”

Leo patted her head and said, "That's great. You helped me a lot again!"

The little mouse smiled happily, but it was a little reluctant.

Leo is now his grandfather's adopted son, and this has been made known to the world. If he wants some magic crystal assistance, he doesn't need her, his granddaughter, to write a letter.

Leo just found something for her to do to increase interaction so that the two of them wouldn't just be laughing all the time.

After all, with her personality, she would be very sad if she couldn't help her loved ones.

She didn't understand these things before, but now she is gradually understanding them and is becoming more and more aware of the delicate thoughts behind Leo's carefree attitude.

After the portal from River Bay to the Imperial Palace was opened, the little mouse not only took the opportunity to give all his savings to Olivia, but also helped Leo openly and secretly, and obtained a large amount of advanced technology from the Imperial Capital and sent it to River Bay.

However, due to her status, she couldn't move around freely and follow Leo to help.

"It's OK if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't give me any. I'll buy some from him tomorrow." Leo comforted the little mouse. "It's all yours in the future anyway. You don't need to waste a little time."

In addition to helping Ostara capture able-bodied men of the holy rank, Leo also has to take the opportunity to arrange his own affairs.

The smuggling caravans in the river bend must quickly reduce transactions and inventory, rush to buy necessary supplies, and complete all this before the portal closes.

This wealth is entirely based on the Elf Queen's portal. If one insists on dividing the profits fairly, at least 80% of the profits must be paid to Ostara as the cost of magic power consumption.

It is shameful to take advantage of others for nothing, but for the development of River Bay, Leo is still shameless enough.

At worst, I can reward Freya with two more cakes for dinner!

Still with stuffing!

In addition to supplies and technology, Leo also successfully abducted several people.

In addition to a low-level wizard from the Imperial Capital, a low-level extraordinary person who loves adventure, a scholar from the Imperial Capital Research Institute, there are also several craftsmen from the Imperial Capital.

Almost all of these people were introduced by Denise. Half of them came here because they yearned for the North, and half of them came here because they had a hard time living in the imperial capital.

Leo didn't care whether they were useful or not, as long as they were willing to go to the river bend.

When you arrive at the river bend, check the goods again. Use the good ones for real use, and use the bad ones as labor to improve yourself.

The only regret is that the magic crystals in the imperial capital are too expensive, and Hewan's cash flow is tight, so it is impossible to purchase a large amount of magic crystals in a short period of time.

Leo managed to collect a dozen magic crystals, but his wallet was tight and he was reluctant to spend any more money.

If we spend more money, it will affect Olivia.

Although he also wanted to unseal the atrium as soon as possible to see if there was a chance to reap the benefits of elven technology, the development of River Bay could not be stopped.

When he returned to the river bend with his men at night, Leo saw Freya, whom he had been thinking about all the time, riding on Totos's back, raising her biceps to show off, "I'm super strong! I'm super bad! I'm the worst elf!"

Totos was bullied and cried loudly, and kept saying: "You are the worst elf! You are the worst elf!"

Leo picked up Freya and scolded her, "How can you bully others like this? Who did you learn this from? The cake for dinner is gone!"

Freya was carried by Leo, and she proudly declared to the cubs watching around, "Leo said, you are all little cuties! But I am the smart one!"

Leo thought to himself: Oh no, this kid is really a naughty one!

The Freya who used to hide behind the little mouse can never come back.

Early the next morning, Noreen rushed into the house and went straight into Leo's bedroom. She pulled Leo out of bed and said, "What are you and the Elf Queen going to do? Tell her to stop!"

Leo was barely dressed when Noreen broke into his bedroom. He immediately felt greatly offended. "What's wrong with you? How can you just break into someone's bedroom?"

Olivia also wrapped herself in the sheets. Although she was a little unhappy, she was much more rational than Leo. "Sister Noreen is so anxious. There must be a reason. Go and have a look."

Noreen’s face flushed, and she bowed her head to apologize, “Olivia, I was too impatient, but it’s really a big deal!”

Leo was wearing clothes and laughed, "The Elf Queen released a mass illusion in the imperial capital? Are the people in the imperial capital scared to death?"

"Now, do you understand the horror of the undead?"

Norin said solemnly, "It's not an illusion, it's the real thing. The Elf Queen has sent a giant frost dragon here through a portal!"
