Warlord: King of All Clans

A settlement of over a thousand kobolds is already a large clan among the kobold clans.

This clan has a complete extraordinary heritage and its own beliefs.

If it weren't for the fact that the Gnoll King Fesa was famous, and the Gnoll miners followed the Riverbend Engineering Corps to mine everywhere in the West, all of them were fat and strong, a large clan like theirs would not easily surrender.

In the Kobold Artisan Area, the new Kobold Shaman is demonstrating his divine power.

He picked up his glass staff, and after a long chant and dance, he pointed it at a kobold warrior.

Watching the hair on the Kobold Warrior explode, the shaman proudly announced, "Woof! Thanks to my prayers, the gods granted him divine power!"

A large group of local kobolds who were watching suddenly dispersed.

"Woof! That's boring. You're so old, but you're still playing with static electricity."

“My son knows how to do it!”

"The craftsmen in the gunpowder workshop have to eliminate static electricity every day when they go to work."

"Childish! Even dogs don't play."

The new Kobold Shaman was dumbfounded. Has the Kobolds' extraordinary heritage become popular among everyone here?

In the deep mountains of their western border, this skill has attracted many gnolls to bow down and beg to join their clan.

The ordinary kobolds dispersed, but the person in charge of the kobold workshop area was very curious about the shaman's glass staff and asked, "Master Shaman, where did you get this staff?"

The Kobold Shaman proudly replied: "This is the sacred staff I bought from a wandering trader for five pieces of Kobold!"

"Can you show me a little?"

Although the person in charge of the workshop area is only a middle-level manager of the River Bay, he is also a powerful figure in the eyes of the Kobold Shaman.

Although he was extremely reluctant to hear that, he still obediently handed over the staff.

The person in charge picked up the glass staff and took a closer look, and saw a few letters engraved in a hidden place on it.

"Made in the Riverbend" with capital letters!

Static Electricity Promotion no longer works in Riverbend, so Fesa starts selling the Glazed Staff.

One gold per piece, preferential treatment for large quantities!

The large Gnoll settlement of 20,000 people is divided into three major gathering places: the Gnoll Valley, the Gnoll Artificial Workshop Area, and the Saltpeter Mine. There are also many small settlements scattered in the wilderness.

Most of the kobolds are engaged in the mining industry, and a few with outstanding abilities work as various low-level craftsmen in the workshop area.

A group of messy ogres, their production efficiency is no less than that of other human towns in the North.

Moreover, the Great Demon Lord Leo was extremely merciful and only took half of their output. The remaining half was distributed by the person in charge appointed by the River Bay Lord's Mansion, which was enough for them to have food and clothing.

In addition to mining and working, the ogres here are also keen to become musketeers, follow King Strong to fight and conquer terrible enemies.

Every time the kobolds went on an expedition, they would bring back extremely rich spoils, enough to eat for several years.

This is the best time for Kobolds!

The products of the Goutou Artificial Workshop area are all inferior products of Hewan, such as gunpowder, glass, firearms, and ironware. They are not competitive in Hewan, so they can only be sold to the neighboring Western Territory.

The workshop's horse-drawn carriages continuously deliver goods to Hekou Town, and then the goods are taken to the train from the station here.

The Baiyi Railway has been officially opened to traffic. In addition to importing fuel stone from Buck Fortress, goods from the river bend will also be sent to Buck Fortress.

Every time a train passes by, a large group of kobolds will chase the train.

The kobold musketeer standing on top of the train would occasionally fire his musket into the air to intimidate the kobolds that were chasing the train.

Some of the dog-headed men held forks and used them to fork the tribesmen who had climbed onto the train off the train.

They are members of the Riverbend Rail Corps, and their mission is to maintain the operation of this railway.

Fortunately, the entire Baiyi railway is within the territory of Hewan, with high mountains on both sides, and no external forces can come in and destroy the railway.

Their biggest enemies are the tribesmen who worship steam trains as gods, and the other wild kobolds who regard train cargo as gifts from nature.

But it’s different outside Buck Fortress. There are no iron tracks here, only wooden tracks. Goods are still transported by horse-drawn carriages, but people from the West will still rob the goods and steal the wooden tracks.

The pressure on the orbital troops here is much higher than that on the mainland.

In the western border which is all Gobi desert and sea of ​​grass, even the sleepers, wooden rails and other rail components produced in the river bend are rare materials.

In order to ensure the transportation of wooden tracks, the River Bend Track Corps deployed a thousand musketeers here and set up a sentry post every ten miles along the way.

Large groups of horse bandits will be wiped out by the River Bay Orbital Corps and the Talhan Family Cavalry. Small groups of horse bandits cannot defeat the well-equipped River Bay Musketeers.

In addition to the original Firestone Mine, Riverbend also reached a trade agreement with other Thousand Captains Tribes and began trading this year.

They would trade at the Burning Stone Mine, so it became the largest transit point in the West.

A large amount of engineering equipment entered the territories of various tribes to jointly build wooden tracks and develop minerals.

Hewan is responsible for providing technology, the Western Territory leader is responsible for providing labor, and the development profits are split 50-50.

Because this situation broke the monopoly of the Talhan family, Shilatu and Hewan developed a rift. In anger, he forbade Yuegechar and Ajina to go to Hewan for exchanges, and they are still in a cold war now.

After Little Noyce followed Strong to the Western Territory, he has not returned home until now. Instead, he has replaced Strong and is stationed in the Western Territory as the commander of the Western Territory Orbital Corps.

The newly established Orbital Corps does not yet have a rank in the River Bend Legion, but its organization is also at the legion level.

Young Noyes, who is in his early twenties and serves as the commander of this legion, has risen from a middle-level officer to the core leadership of the River Bend Army.

Under the surveillance of the Talhan family, the Riverbend Orbital Corps has few troops in the western border, less than three thousand in total.

In the past few days, the young and energetic legion commander, with only more than 20 personal soldiers, wiped out a nearby bandit group of 100 people.

While his men were counting the enemy's bodies, he pulled out a letter from his bosom, opened it and continued reading.

This is a letter that Bessie wrote to him. After several years of study, the rich young woman Bessie can write letters by herself without the help of Agata or anyone else, so the content of the letter is even more imaginative.

It's just that the handwriting looks like chicken claws, which always makes Noyce want to laugh.

The thick military coat on his shoulders was cut open by the horse bandit leader's scimitar, revealing the exquisite chain mail underneath.

The leader of this nest of horse thieves was a low-level transcendent with considerable strength. Relying on his large numbers, he rushed to the front of the Hewan Musketeers in an attempt to capture the thieves and their leader.

However, the combat effectiveness of the horse bandits and the regular troops was very different, and the low-level extraordinary people could not withstand the bayonet stabbings of a group of musketeers in Noyce's hands.

He stabbed little Noyce before he died, but still underestimated the defense of the Riverbend Musketeers.

Under the thick military coat was a piece of fine steel chain mail, and under the chain mail of little Noyce was a piece of dragon leather armor given by the mistress.
