Warlord: King of All Clans

Rigolav, the governor of the city of Abros, also put aside his government affairs for a short while and came to the river bend for a vacation. Looking at the battle report, he couldn't help but nod.

"You bull-headed... Wolong, you are really unexpected."

Leo also sighed, "Yes, the other side has 100,000 blood slaves and 20,000 armored soldiers, which is three times the strength of the allied forces. In my estimation, even if we defend, it will take three years before there will be a turnaround. I didn't expect that the result would be achieved in just one year."

Rigolav smiled and said, "War is like playing cards. It's not whoever has more cards that wins."

He threw out the two cards in his hand, "Sixes."

The card games of Riverbend have become popular in the North, and the high-quality cards have also become a highly profitable industrial bestseller.

Don’t underestimate this small piece of cardboard. It contains industrial technology that crushes the North. The paper, paint, and packaging all have features that are difficult for ordinary small workshops to imitate.

"Seven of seven." Leo played two cards. "Father is right. War is not like chess, where everyone shows their cards. Instead, it is more like playing cards, where no one knows the other's cards."

Savinting threw out four cards, "Explode."

"Single five."

Rigolav said with emotion: "Three generations of the Kurolov family worked hard to build this great foundation. It's a pity that it failed and is left with a mess. The descendants of the Kurolov family will suffer."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the last poker player and he asked casually, "This poker player looks very impressive. Which prince or nobleman is he?"

Those who can come to the Big House to play cards are not ordinary people, except for the members of the Big House.

Locke had a blank expression on his face and introduced himself: "I am Locke, the descendant of the Kurolov family and the legitimate son of Farbuti."

Rigolav was so shocked that he almost dropped his cards. After a while, he comforted him, "It's not shameful to lose to Leo."

Locke looked at Leo, "Strong was the one who made the move. Leo hasn't made his move yet, Single Ten."

Savinting threw out four cards, "Explode."

"Single six."

Rio was furious, "Why do you bomb everyone? Are you cheating? Your cards are too good!"

Savinting held the last two cards in his hand and wagged his tail, "I have more cards!"

During this year, Savinting was quietly promoted to the extraordinary level, but her promotion was not discovered until one month later.

If Olivia hadn't sensed it, she would still be in the dark.

The dog, who was originally intelligent, became incredibly smart after being promoted. Not only was he lucky at playing cards, but he also only blew up Leo and Locke and not Rigolav when he had a bomb.

You’ve learned to flatter even when playing cards!

While playing cards and chatting, Locke was still young after all, and finally lost his temper, put down the cards and said: "Now that the battle situation is clear, my staying here will only add to the jokes, so I'll take my leave and go back."

"Your general is attacking my territory. I have to go back and take charge of the situation."

Rigolav raised his hand to stop him, "You have a good temper. There is no need to rush. It is better to wait a little longer. Strong will be back soon after leaving office."

Locke's eyes fixed, and he questioned, "The River Bend Army is so powerful that they can capture my home this winter. Can Strong resist taking action?"

Rigolav and Leo smiled at each other, the former explaining, "You can take it, but you can't occupy it."

"Hewan takes over your Kurolov, who will the territory belong to?"

"Give it to Odalov, but Riverbend will disagree. Give it to Riverbend, but the entire North will disagree."

"Even if Strong doesn't understand this principle, Godwin does. Strong will be back soon."

Sure enough, half a month ago, Strong was impeached by the generals of the River Bend Legion led by Roman for "not caring about soldiers and acting tyrannically" and resigned and returned home.

This year's hard battle has cost the Riverbend Army over a thousand casualties!

Legion Commander Strong bears primary responsibility!

Compared with the half-commitment losses at River Bend, Grant and Gunther's legions suffered more than half losses, which was not so conspicuous in the River Bend newspapers.

The war with the Kurolov family was basically settled and entered a new round of confrontation. Only one legion was left in Hewan, led by Roman and Godwin, and the rest of the troops followed Strong home.

The blood slave army still occupies the north and is difficult to eradicate.

The steamship fleet in the river bend transported cartloads of supplies to the north and brought back boatloads of refugees.

Before leaving, Rigolav said to Leo, "The bloodline of the Isharov family has been cut off. The Isharov Territory will most likely be conferred to the Pine family by the Grand Duke. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Leo nodded and said, "Of course we will go. We were the ones who took down Isharov County, so Oleg should show some appreciation."

Oleg Payne, the leader of the rebel army led by Isharov, has gone to Anhurst to accept the Grand Duke's commendation.

However, the Isiarov Territory was conquered by Hewan. Even if it could not be divided with Hewan due to the balance of power, if Oleg wanted to be granted the title, he had to get Hewan's consent first.

"But before I go, I have to go to Keetland."

Rigolav knew this and whispered, "How is Count Harde's health?"

"The situation is not good. I have been urged to come over."

Rigolav warned: "The title of King of the Wild Folk has its pros and cons, and Fabuti is still in the dark, you must be fully prepared."

Leo nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, godfather."

Facing the first snow in the river bay, Leo came to the courtyard again and saw the vampire princess Meredith holding a fawn, standing on the top floor of the palace and looking at the crowd below.

"Look at that human, he's actually a high-level transcendent. Really high-quality food!"

“There’s also a mid-level one there, which tastes good, too.”

"There is actually a dragon blood kobold that has activated the dragon bloodline. It smells so good!"

Leo landed on the platform riding a black dragon. Meredith looked at the alchemical dragon with shining eyes, "Ah, dragon! It smells so good!"

The alchemical dragon was infused with dragon blood essence by El so that it could adapt to Leo's spirit, so in the eyes of the vampires, it is also a living creature.

Leo rolled his eyes and scolded, "Eat, eat, eat. Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?"

Al, who was held in Meredith's arms, failed to be tamed during this period and became Meredith's pet.

Hearing Leo's scolding, Al of course stood up for Meredith, "Nigholdt is mine! I can give it to whoever I want!"

Leo felt betrayed and snatched Al in fawn form from Meredith's arms and tied him around his neck, "Old man, you are on my side."

Al was unhappy to be away from Meredith's warm and plump arms. He struggled wildly on Leo's neck, but soon found it amusing and began to giggle.

Meredith continued to relax on the high platform, looking at the high-quality crowd in the atrium, and couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that after 10,000 years, humans have developed so much."

Before she fell asleep, humans were all blood slaves of the vampires, their intelligence was still at a primitive stage, and the few extraordinary people in the tribe were all aristocratic food carefully cultivated by the vampires.

Even she, a vampire princess, cannot drink the blood of extraordinary humans every day.

Now in the entire atrium, extraordinary people account for half of the population!

There are hundreds of mid-level transcendents and more than ten high-level transcendents!

If I give her all of this, how long will it take her to finish it?

Unfortunately, the noble vampire queen was restrained by El and could not touch the food in the atrium.

However, Leo, the master of the atrium, was very kind to her. He would feed her a portion of dragon blood essence every day so that her strength could be restored quickly.

The hunger that had lasted for ten thousand years finally subsided during this period.

With this favor, Meredith finally stopped treating Leo as food.
