Warlord: King of All Clans

The women around, none of whom had ever been a mother, let alone a father, were speechless for a moment.

Whether in the South or the North, the delivery of a wife is important, but the nobles are too proud of their status to take care of her by the bedside. At most, they will sit outside and wait for good news.

Husbands like Leo are rare.

The specially invited birth companion and the old shaman from the ancestral temple came into the room. They were even more nervous than Leo.

This is the eldest son of the Earl of River Bay, the bloodline that the Mistress of River Bay had worked so hard to conceive.

If there is any mistake, not to mention the punishment from the lord, they themselves will not be able to get over the psychological hurdle.

At this time, Archbishop Antonese also appeared at the door and said with a smile: "Don't panic, just wait patiently."

He exuded the aura of a saint that soothed people, and everyone immediately became calm and felt full of hope, no longer having any negative emotions such as worry, fear, or terror.

With the presence of a holy priest, Leo felt at ease and held Olivia's hand, waiting patiently.

Whether it is the Ancestral Temple in the North or the Holy Light Church in the South, both have the tradition of delivering babies and protecting fetuses, and it is also one of the compulsory courses for monks or shamans.

In ancient society, how could one occupy the high ground of faith?

If you can deliver a baby and keep mother and child safe, you can definitely occupy the high ground of faith!

Whether it is a shaman or a monk, if they want to expand their own diocese, it is far from enough to just learn to chant scriptures.

Curing illnesses and saving lives, delivering babies and presiding over weddings and funerals are the most powerful means to attract believers.

When he was young, Archbishop Antonese had also delivered babies, protected fetuses, studied medicine, and saved souls, and he was outstanding and well versed in all these.

Just by standing at the bedroom door and listening to the pregnant woman's breathing and the movements of the fetus, he could clearly understand the situation of delivery and could provide assistance at any time.

As the contractions became more intense, Olivia couldn't help but moan, and finally cried out in pain.

The pain lasted the whole afternoon. Leo was extremely anxious and kept asking Antonisse, "What happened? Why is it taking so long? Is there any problem?"

Antonisse stood calmly at the door and explained, "It has always been difficult for people with extraordinary blood to give birth. You and your wife are both extraordinary people, and the blood you conceived is strong enough. Naturally, giving birth will be more difficult than for ordinary pregnant women."

"But don't worry, your ladyship is in very good health, there will be no problem."

By the early morning, not only Leo, Noreen, Agata and a group of friends, but even the pregnant woman and the ancestor shaman changed their expressions.

Even Antonise was a little uneasy. Olivia was strong, but the fetus could not withstand such torture. If the delivery took too long, it would cause damage to the fetus' body.

He stood at the bedroom door, closed his eyes, felt the physical condition of the mother and child, and was ready to take action at any time.

In the entire Hewan Town, all the workshops outside the peninsula stopped working, and the peninsula became quiet. Everyone stood in place, holding their breath.

Since the news came out at noon, the entire Hewan Town seemed to have been paused. Only the Ancestral Temple and the Holy Light Church were still crowded.

A large number of women and elderly people gathered in the two buildings, kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly with their heads bowed, despite the severe winter cold.

"Lord of Holy Light, please protect the mistress of River Bay. I am willing to serve you for my whole life in exchange for the safety of the mistress and her child..."

"God of War, God of Lavard, please protect your descendants and continue the great bloodline. I am willing to offer all my property..."

Such prayers continued until the early morning, and a hint of panic began to appear.

The people of Hewan, who had not received any new news, began to become anxious. They ran to the outside of the lord's house, stood in the darkness, and stared at the lord's house in silence.

Students, workers, soldiers, managers, the elderly, women and children, regardless of their social status, all filled the streets, unwilling to go home.

An old man with tattoos all over his face whispered, "Does the ancestor need a blood sacrifice as proof? I am willing to offer my heart!"

As he said this, he took off the winter clothes given to him by the River Bay Mistress, revealing his bony chest. He drew out the hunting knife he carried with him, preparing to commit suicide in a bloody sacrifice.

His tribe is a savage clan deep in the Wolf-Driving Plains, with an ancient tradition of blood sacrifice.

Every spring, the oldest member would be sacrificed as a blood sacrifice to the ancestors in exchange for a year's protection.

However, after the clan was conquered by foreign tribes, the remaining clan members drifted to the river bend, where they were protected by the mistress of the river bend. All the elderly, the weak, women and children were provided for, and blood sacrifices were expressly prohibited.

The old savage had no children, could not draw a bow, could not hunt, and had no special skills. He could only work as a cleaner on the River Bay Peninsula and make a living by following the kobold cleaning team.

If it weren't for the rewards and welfare guarantees from the Mistress of Hewan every now and then, a man like him would not survive a winter.

His companions quickly grabbed him and said, "Old bastard, what are you doing? Put away your knife, this kind of thing is not tolerated in Hewan!"

As they were pulling each other, a little dog-headed man cried out, "Madam, please stay healthy. I will study hard in the future!"

His voice infected his friends, and a group of little dog-headed people studying at Hewan Primary School swore one after another.

"I will definitely become a Kobold Scribe!"

"I will never cheat my classmates for candy again!"

"I will never steal shit again!"

At this time, Olivia, who was in excruciating pain, opened her eyes and said to Leo, "It's cold outside, tell everyone to go home."

The winter in the north is extremely cold. No matter how much the people in River Bay Town try to keep warm, the water will freeze on the streets in the early morning.

If the people in Hewan were to stand there for a whole night, I don’t know how many of them would be frostbitten or frozen to death.

Leo's mind was distracted, and he also sensed that there were a huge crowd of people outside the lord's house. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Notify everyone to get the River Bay Barracks and the Civil Affairs Department to intervene and send everyone back home!"

Before we knew it, time had passed and a hint of white appeared in the east.

A soft golden light also appeared under Olivia's body.

Antonisse's face showed shock. He no longer cared about etiquette and stepped forward to help.

With his hands, he slowly lifted up a baby covered in blood.

However, no one could see any blood because they were blinded by the blazing golden light.

This is a baby that comes with holy light!

With his birth, the entire river bay was lit up with a faint, soft golden light, dispelling the cold.

The golden light slowly rose into the sky, coinciding with the morning light in the east, and the two reflected each other, making the river bay peninsula extremely sacred.

Whether they were believers of Holy Light or believers of their ancestors, they all bowed their heads devoutly as they looked at the wonders outside the window.

Then they all heard the ethereal and majestic voice of Al in their minds: "The Riverbend Mistress successfully gave birth to a son. Both mother and child are safe. Baldur Rio Mundo Lavard, your young master is born."

Archbishop Antonese held Leo's eldest son and murmured to himself, "Born extraordinary, the son of holy light, born in the morning light and awakened at dawn."

After more than ten minutes, the golden light on the baby's body slowly faded, revealing its true appearance.

Balder opened his bright eyes and urinated on Antonisse's face.
