Warlord: King of All Clans

At the same time as the Isenbol Legion arrived at Fort Bavanach, Victor Furilov of Ilanrado received the news that he had been backstabbed.

At this time, he was leading his Ilanrado Legion out of the city and heading north, arriving at the town of Ross in the northern part of the jurisdiction.

They planned to capture Ankerburg, the southernmost city of Frohwald, and force Hermann to lead his troops south to recover the land.

Frovald is the main city of Furilov Territory, and its jurisdiction is the most extensive. In addition to the main city, there are three small towns around it.

However, now the population of Frovald is declining, the military force is shrinking, and the military forces of the three towns are weak.

After the orc army moved north, they left behind a large number of small tribes of foreign races that could not be supported. These orcs, trolls, gnolls, boars, and goblins roamed and plundered everywhere in the territory of Frovald, causing great headaches for Count Hermann, who was already short of troops.

The urban population of the main city depends entirely on the surrounding villages for food. If the survival of these villages and towns is not guaranteed, the main city will decline.

If he had no other choice, he would not risk recruiting alien legions.

Now that the alien legions have been incorporated and part of the land within the jurisdiction has been divided among the alien tribes, "using aliens to control aliens" has alleviated the urgent need.

Seeing this situation, Victor could no longer sit still and had to take the initiative to attack and not give Hermann time to catch his breath.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Victor's face turned pale, and he looked at his younger brother Tariq beside him, "Tariq, didn't you say that Isenbol's Dick Mondo would not take the initiative to attack? What's going on now?"

After Tariq was defeated, he was escorted to Frovald by Leo, but was intercepted by Victor on the way and stayed in Ilanrado.

He has some foundation in Isenbol and can provide Victor with a lot of information reference.

Hearing his second brother's question, Tariq felt aggrieved. "I don't know. My informants in Isenbor told me that Riomondo has no ambitions and lives in peace in a corner. He will never initiate a war."

Combined with his impression of Leo, it was indeed very consistent with the image, which was why he vowed before the war that the southern city of Isenpol would not send troops.

What they didn't know was that their ambitious elder brother, who looked down on everyone, condescended to go south and find Rio to form an alliance shortly after the end of the racial war.

Now, the Pegasus Knight Weir in Leo's hands has become the liaison between the North-South Alliance, responsible for the communications between the two sides, and can also scout Ilanrado's every move along the way.

Although it is impossible to see the faces of people on the ground when flying at an altitude of thousands of meters, a force of more than a hundred people can easily find them.

When the Ilanrado Legion arrived at Ross Town, Leo arrived at Fort Bavanachi, which he had calculated long ago.

In this situation, the other side has to think carefully about whether to continue attacking northward or to go south for reinforcements?

Count Hermann has also sent a letter saying that he has led his troops to Ankerburg. As long as the Ilanrado Legion retreats, he will capture the town of Ross and advance on the city of Ilanrado.

It is said that only when you know both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle, and only when you have clear eyes and ears can you plan strategies.

Victor was caught between the north and the south, and Leo really wanted to know what kind of waves he could make.

Standing outside Fort Bawanachi, feeling the chill of winter, Leo complained as he watched his soldiers setting up camp, "How long has winter started? It's already so cold. Won't this New Year be even colder than last year?"

Little Noyce, who was hammering the tent's fixing stakes with a hammer, looked up and said, "It seems that the cloth purchased this year is not enough. The people of the United Knights can only get one winter coat. I guess Sister Olivia will be worried again."

Becoming a great lord has many benefits. At least you don't have to be ordered around to do rough labor anymore.

Little Noyce also signed up enthusiastically for this expedition, and Leo asked him to follow him and serve as his knight squire.

Rough work like setting up camp, boiling water and cooking, and making beds and folding quilts are the jobs of knights' squires.

When Leo heard this, he changed the topic of his complaints, "Your sister Olivia is a saint. She is good at everything except worrying too much. Even if she raises the people as her sons, they are adult sons who can take care of themselves. Not every person in the territory needs winter clothes."

The people of the River Bend Territory have already achieved food and clothing, but the United Knights Territory was established only a year ago, and more than half of the people can only barely fill their stomachs. In winter, they can only hide in sheds to warm themselves by the fire, and lack independent housing and warm clothing.

This level has already made Leo very satisfied. At least not many people starved to death or froze to death.

But Olivia was not satisfied and prepared to continue the tradition of River Bay and give each of the people of River Bay a winter coat.

In order to achieve this goal, she reluctantly spent all of Little Mouse's dowry and Fraser's savings.

Because he was worried that Olivia would be too nice to her subjects and turn them into big shots, Leo had no choice but to play the bad guy and find fault with them whenever he could, so as to keep the new and old subjects of the United Knights awake.

The term "Mother of the World" is not a derogatory term. Little Noyes smiled admiringly and said, "All the young men in the river bay are eager to become the guardian knight of the mistress."

Just like the Virgin Mary has no derogatory meaning, a guardian knight is a guardian knight, and there is also no ambiguous meaning. In addition to the entire Order of the Rose, many young knights of the Empire have also sworn allegiance to the guardian knight of the Imperial Princess Gulveig.

In River Bend, the dream of a civilian boy is to become a knight, and for a knight's squire like little Noyes, obtaining the title of knight is only a matter of time. What they think about is whose knight they will become.

Leo looked at Little Noyce and laughed, "You have become Sister Olivia's guardian knight. What about Beth? Who will protect her?"

The innocent little Noyce's face immediately turned red, he lowered his head to work and stopped talking.

He is actually only two years younger than Leo, but the way they get along, it seems like there is a generation difference between them.

At this time, the camp bed in the tent had been made. Leo took a look and frowned, "Is this a large bunk bed? It's so big?"

Gwen, the Rose Knight, who was still tidying up the bedding, stretched out her hand and gestured carefully on the bed, "This piece is yours, this piece is mine, and this piece is Xia's. We have to reserve a little space in the middle for Xikes and Freya."

Leo was annoyed, "Go away and sleep alone!"

Gwen was also angry, "That's fine, but Six has to give it to me, and Freya has to give it to Thea!"

Leo gave in immediately. Although the marching tent was warm and had a charcoal fire, it was not as comfortable as having two hand warmers around.

As soon as winter comes, the clean and tidy furry children in the lord's mansion become a rare commodity and in short supply.

Although he is very loyal to Olivia, Leo still has to be nice. "If we sleep together at night, you don't have to worry about me taking advantage of you."

Gwen smiled and said, "What am I afraid of? The mistress said that no matter who you have a child with, you have to call her mother."

Leo was completely defeated, and Olivia was really obsessed with the issue of offspring.

However, this is indeed the tradition in the North. Olivia is the legitimate mistress. If Leo really has children born to his lover or concubine, he will either have no status or inheritance rights, or he can only recognize Olivia as his mother in order to have a chance of being accepted by River Bay.

Leo was still young and didn't want to think about this any further, so he waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow morning, we'll take down Bavanaqi and live in the castle."
