Warlord: King of All Clans

In addition to the deputy commander of the Pegasus Knights, Weir, there were nine other Pegasus Knights accompanying the army this time.

Pegasus can fly faster than a griffin, and can soar high into the sky to have a complete understanding of the enemy's movements.

Some Pegasus were not used to life in the military camp and would even take their knights back to the Pegasus Plateau two hundred miles away to spend the night in the evening.

Some Pegasus brought their own riders on reconnaissance missions, and were accompanied by five or six other Pegasus companions, who came together to see what was new.

With their assistance, Leo was no different from playing a strategy game with the fog of war turned off, and he could also communicate with Count Hermann in the north at any time.

The two legions from the north and south appeared outside the city of Ilanrado on the same day.

While Rio was setting up camp, three knights came out of the south gate of Ilanrado and approached the legion.

"Ser Tarik Foreloff requests a visit."

Leo was a little surprised. What was this guy doing here?

This most dissolute playboy of the Frelov family did not have the vigor and ambition of a former lord, but he still looked like a son of a noble family.

In the military tent, Arnold, Romon, Hood and other legion commanders were all present, looking at the former city lord with amusement in their eyes.

When Tariq saw these corner flags, almost all of them were familiar faces, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

You used to bow down and be respectful to me, but now that I'm down and out, you look down on me!

Thirty years in the east, forty years in the west, don’t be bullied by the poverty in middle age!

He looked at Leo who was sitting on the main seat and whispered, "Sir Mondo, please ask the others to leave. I have something secret to tell you."

Leo glared and put his hand on the hilt of the sword, "Rebel leader, you have no right to make demands? Drag him out and behead him!"

Luo Meng was also a qualified actor. Upon hearing this, he pretended to step forward and arrest the person.

Tariq was used to being rude, and this was the first time he saw someone even more rude than him. He was a little flustered, "My second brother Victor asked me to come and negotiate!"

Leo then asked: "Negotiation? How do you negotiate?"

Victor obviously underestimated how useless his brother was. After being frightened by Leo, Tariq had no intention of talking and directly revealed his bottom line.

"As long as you withdraw your troops, my two brothers are willing to surrender, pay two hundred gold in taxes every year, and cede Bawanachi Fort!"

After that, he stammered out his prepared speech, "I said, my second brother said, your alliance with Herman is of no benefit. If we take down Ilanrado, we will definitely not give it to you. If we fail to take it, you will also suffer losses."

"Herman now has an army of cannibals from other races under his command, and he has the support of Count Beowulf behind him. His army is at an advanced stage, and if you help him, you will only bring about your own destruction."

"Why don't we form an alliance and fight Herman together, our forces will be evenly matched."

Leo was silent after hearing this, as if he was moved. He thought for a while before saying, "You have a point. I will think about it for one night and give you an answer tomorrow."

Tariq was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he was also an expert in negotiation. He urged, "Hermann's army is just north of the city. This matter can't wait any longer. You must give me an answer tomorrow morning."

"No problem."

After Tariq left, Arnold on the side immediately advised: "Sir, although Tariq's words make sense, the two brothers are both treacherous and untrustworthy. If they can submit to you today, they will submit to their eldest brother tomorrow. When the three brothers reconcile, Isenbol will be the unlucky one."

Leo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan. I have already made an appointment with Count Hermann, and he should be able to come and meet tonight."

By evening, two Pegasus circled down from the sky and landed on the open space of the military camp. The Pegasus Knight brought Count Hermann to Leo.

The first thing Count Hermann said when they met was: "Your Pegasus is really useful. Can you lend me two?"

Leo was not willing to give them to me, so he made up a lie, "These are all magical beast companions that the Elf Princess lent me, how can I lend them to others?"

Herman had also heard of the existence of elves in the river bay, and was even more aware of the relationship between Leo and the elven demigod. Upon hearing this, he could only sigh, "Dragon Scale Horse, Pegasus, Gale Knight, Rose Knight, what else do you not have?"

Leo said modestly: "It all depends on everyone's care."

Count Hermann sat down in the military tent accompanied by Leo and asked again: "Did Victor have a messenger?"

Leo nodded, "Sent Tariq here and said he would submit to me and hand over Ilanrado."

Even though Herman was a tyrant and shrewd, he couldn't sit still for a moment and said quickly: "Ilanrado has been the territory of the Freilov family since ancient times. I asked you to send troops this time just to reclaim our homeland."

When the two sides secretly formed an alliance, they had already agreed that the ownership of the city of Ilanrado belonged to Count Hermann. This was written on paper and sent to the case of the Grand Duke of the North.

Leo had no intention of violating the alliance. He was only trying to scare him at this time in order to take the opportunity to increase his reward.

"That's true, but I learned an elegant saying in the Southern Territory's capital: those who are capable will be given the position."

Hermann was a shrewd man and understood immediately.

He actually guessed that Leo was taking the opportunity to raise the price, but he couldn't refute it.

He secretly set a trap for the enemy, hoping that both the Isenbol Legion and the Abros Legion would suffer heavy losses. At the very least, he wanted the two legions to tie up each other, giving him time to attack the city.

Now Leo defeated Godwin easily and arrived in Ilanrado at the same time as him. It would be terrible if the other party had no temper.

To take it more extreme, if Leo Mundo knew the inside story and could not swallow this humiliation, it is not impossible that he would secretly form an alliance with Victor and attack him from behind while he was attacking the city.

So Count Hermann said, “The Isenbol Legion won two victories in Bavanach and has come a long way, so why not rest for a few days? I will take care of Ilanrado City myself.”

"You just need to help me block the south gate and prevent the enemy from making a detour. Half of all the spoils after the war will be divided among you."

Leo was not very satisfied. "How much spoils can be left from a small city that is obsessed with war? I heard that the trade between Frovald and the beastmen is very hot, and I have a lot of goods to sell."

After the peace talks with the orcs, Count Hermann, as the Grand Lord of Frovald, almost monopolized the trade with the orcs. This was also a huge source of income. In addition to feeding the 1,000 heavily armored elite troops stationed by the Grand Duke, it also allowed Hermann to stabilize the situation.

Leo was very envious of this market, but he had been blocked by Ilanrado before. If Isenbol's caravan went there, they would be severely slaughtered and make almost no profit.

This time, in order to deal with Ilanrado who was blocking the road, Leo of course had to greet Hermann in advance.

Count Hermann felt very painful, but the beastman trade market was huge, and giving some to Leo was also within his tolerance, so he nodded and said, "That's easy to say. I'm out of stock here. We can discuss the trade tax issue after the war."

Leo then "reluctantly" nodded, "Okay! Although it's not as much as Victor gave, but you and I get along better, so losing some property is no problem."

The business was settled, and Count Hermann breathed a sigh of relief. He laughed and scolded, "Leo Mondo, you are indeed the adopted son of the Grand Duke. You are as shrewd as an old fox. You have made a lot of money, but you seem to have suffered a great injustice."

Haven't you heard that less profit is a loss? Leo made half of his profit with tears in his eyes, and he was in a good mood.

It's comfortable to talk to a smart person like Hermann.

Victor of Ilanrado was about to die, but he still wanted to send him away with 200 gold coins a year. Hermann knew that he was taking the opportunity to ask for a higher price, but he still gave him half of it in one go.

However, dealing with the former is like bullying a child, and Leo can make a decision on the spur of the moment. Dealing with the latter is like courting disaster, and Leo has to think twice before making a decision.

"Since you said so, I will guard the south gate and watch the Earl defeat the rebels and reclaim his homeland."
