Warlord: King of All Clans

Count Hermann was also a tyrant and would not be easily fooled. Instead, he said seriously, "Although Victor is my brother, he is too reckless and we no longer have any family affection. Moreover, he occupied Ilanrado and blocked the way between us, so that the road is blocked."

"If we want to fight the foreign enemies together and support each other, we must remove this obstacle."

"This time, we must defeat him in one fell swoop and take down Ilanrado. Only then will we have a chance to advance hand in hand."

Leo was speechless. You have taken over the city of Ilanrado, and your next target is the city of Isenbol, so as to restore the glory of your Frelov family.

But on the surface, he certainly would not refuse, he just nodded and said, "I will keep an eye on the river bend and lead the troops north at any time to cooperate with the Earl's actions."

When Leo said goodbye and left, Count Hermann still stood there, staring at Leo's back.

How could Hermann, as the heir, not hate Leo for seizing the city from the Frelov family? But given the current situation, he could only swallow his anger.

In the alien legion camp, the alien warriors were tormented for no reason because of Leo's arrival, and they were full of resentment.

In their view, if there is a war, then fight. If there is no war, then eat, drink, and sleep well. To mess around with queues and military formations all day long, isn't that just deliberately disgusting?

If they hadn't been given food and drink, they would have rebelled long ago.

Troll Flagman Taz found Orc Flagman Tanval and conspired loudly, "Tanval, how can a powerful and noble Orc warrior be inferior to humans? How are you going to face your ancestors?"

"The human race is currently in the midst of a civil war, and we must also look for an opportunity to establish ourselves. Why not take advantage of Count Hermann's expedition to capture this city and become a local tyrant?"

The orcs were more obedient than the trolls. After Tanval attached himself to the human race, he was relatively loyal to Count Herman. He shook his head and said, "Chief Barthalom led his army back north, leaving our small tribe to die. If Lord Herman hadn't allocated hunting grounds and provided us with food, the entire tribe would have starved to death."

"Count Hermann saved our lives. How can we betray him like this? Even if you don't want to be loyal to him, you can just say it to his face, take off your armor, lay down your weapons, and leave on your own."

Taz looked at the fine steel spear in his hand and the iron armor on his body, and thought to himself, how stupid would I be to throw away all these things?

As expected, the stupid orcs were stubborn and couldn't make any sense at all.

Leo said goodbye to Herman and found Fisher's residence, where he met the other two members of the Firefly Adventure Group: Barrett and Lynch.

Barrett still looks the same as before, hasn't changed at all, but Lynch looks much calmer.

Seeing Leo coming, they were both very happy and arranged to have a drink in a nearby pub.

After a while, Fisher and Weier also came over.

The tavern in the Earl's main city has richer drinks and food than those in the border town. There is also a small arena on one side of the tavern.

An orc slave is dueling with a human gladiator.

The unarmed orc slaves fought equally well with the human gladiators armed with swords and shields, but because they were not wearing armor, they had many wounds on their bodies from the gladiators' daggers.

This civilian tavern is extremely popular because of the ring duels and the scantily clad tavern girls.

But after watching for a few seconds, Leo knew that this duel was just a show. Although it looked like a fierce fight, in fact, the attacks were all measured.

Perhaps both parties in the duel were the property of the tavern owner, and he was reluctant to lose his own property, so he let them pretend to do it.

While drinking, Barrett sighed: "In troubled times, there is no peace anywhere. We adventurers simply have nowhere to stay."

Leo smiled and said, "You adventurers are the biggest problem for public security. Do you still have to consider whether you can live in peace or not? Isn't the more chaos the better?"

Leo was right. Adventurers and mercenaries were a highly overlapping group. They all made their livings by force and were willing to fight and kill. They were not the romantics in Denise's adventure novels at all.

Adventurers do not receive any quality education before entering the industry. When they are poor and destitute, it is easy for them to kill a chicken, steal a sheep, or commit murder or arson.

He wiped his lips, turned around, left the crime scene, and went to another settlement.

As a local lord, what he fears most is this kind of daring and skilled roving criminals who cannot be caught.

Barrett shook his head and said, "There are different kinds of adventurers. People like us are just passionate about adventure. The world is too chaotic, so the journey becomes more difficult."

Lin Qi also said: "I am a knight-errant, not a thief. I am out there gaining experience and fighting evil and protecting the good. I also hope that the world will become a better place."

Leo nodded and invited, "If you are tired of traveling, you can come to our river bay to rest for a while. The river bay is very peaceful now."

After Fisher came back, he told his companions what he had seen and heard. Barrett and Lynch both knew that the river bay had changed a lot, so they nodded together and said, "Let's talk about it after this ticket is done."

A few people talked about their trip to the imperial capital again. The Firefly Adventure Group walked back and forth and had countless experiences to talk about along the way.

Leo was teleported directly there, but his experience was also very exciting. With Denise as a topic of conversation, he never lacked topics.

After staying in Frovald for two days and obtaining enough information, Leo set off back with Weir.

Above the city of Ilanrado, Leo saw troops marching out of the military camp and heading north.

The war in the north is inevitable, and Leo has to reorganize the legion to solve this problem.

Of course, this is the whole of Isenbor's business, not Riverbend's own business.

As usual, Leo convened a meeting of lords and recruited the knight lords of Isenbol to fight.

The response of this group of roughnecks in the North was even more fierce than Rio had expected. As soon as the notice of the Lords' Assembly was issued, 90% of the corner flags in the territory of Isembol gathered in the city.

After sending Tariq away, these local lords all obeyed Leo's rule, but the only thing they were not convinced of was that this great lord was too unwilling to fight.

That's all, it's fine, just take it as a chance to rest and recuperate.

But it was humiliating that Riverbend went to war with the Westerlands without involving them.

In the North, participating in wars is not only an obligation but also a right. A Northern knight who is brave and powerful will be useless if there is no war to fight.

Some corner flag knights who were not good at business would not get enough spoils to bring home every year, and would become very tight on money during the New Year. It would be difficult for them to maintain the expenses of their knight family, and they would easily go into debt or be ridiculed.

When Fort Buck fell into Leo's hands, Arnold and Rudolf, the flag bearers of Isenpol, heard the news and formed a small army and ran to Fort Buck to join the battle. This was not just out of loyalty.

Although Leo only asked them to "maintain the logistics channel" in the rear, they had to share a portion of the spoils with the members of the small legion afterwards to prevent them from gossiping.

Soon, Isenbol's northward army was formed, with Leo personally serving as the army commander and Arnold as his deputy, leading 4,000 soldiers.

Rudolf Fangqi of the Hobart family was two years younger than Arnold, but he was too old to serve in the army, so his eldest son served in his place.

Rigolav continued to stay in Isenbol.
