Warlord: King of All Clans

Ulyan took Nelson and his entourage for a stroll along the gravel beach of the river bend, picking out some things to tell them.

At the same time, he asked subtle questions, wanting to know the purpose of their coming here.

If it was just a form of extortion, considering his status as a second-generation noble, as long as it wasn't too excessive, Uliyan could still hold back.

When hearing the introduction, it sounded like Nelson was just a distant relative of Count Frylov, but in fact, he was also a man with a lot of say in Isenpol, and even a single comment could threaten the survival of the river bay.

Although Uliyan was extremely disgusted, he could only serve carefully.

But Nelson ignored him and continued to evaluate Hewan and offer guidance.

Pointing to the farmland in the north, Nelson said, "This piece of farmland is a bit of an eyesore. Why not flatten it, fill it with gravel, connect it to the river beach, and build a riverside manor on it to entertain guests. Well, the scenery here is very suitable."

The farmland in the north was reclaimed with great difficulty by Uliyang and his villagers, and it is the foundation of his entrepreneurship.

Now the wheat seedlings have grown out and the fields are green. Rashka, the old man in charge of agriculture, spends all day and night in the fields, wishing he could sleep in them.

A lot of land was also reclaimed around the wheat fields, and some flax and legumes were planted in time.

On the river beach on the north side, a river embankment less than two meters high gradually took shape, extending from the north of the peninsula to the tip of the peninsula, and still extending to the southern part of the peninsula.

Ulyan came to the river bay seven or eight years ago and was very familiar with the hydrology here. When the river water rises in summer, the water of the Anzeno River will flood the entire river bay peninsula, submerging most of the land and connecting with the small lake in the middle of the peninsula.

This is why no trees grow on the River Bend Peninsula; it is a floodplain.

The river bank, which is less than two meters high, is not considered high, but it barely exceeds the river bank on the opposite side of the river bend. With the protection of this river bank, even if the river water floods the forest farm on the opposite side, it cannot flood the peninsula plain.

Nelson said the efforts of the entire village were worthless.

When Uliyang heard this, veins on his forehead popped out, but he still smiled apologetically.

"My Lord, you are joking. This place is a full 100 miles away from Isembol. It is deep in the wilderness and transportation is inconvenient. No noble lady or young lady would be willing to travel through mountains and rivers to attend the banquet."

"That's because your status is not high enough, it has nothing to do with the place."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing the noisy Wolf Fang camp across the river bend, Nelson frowned and asked, "Is that your village too?"

"Yes, we have recently absorbed some refugees and wild people, and let them cut wood and hunt, which can also earn some income."

Nelson shook his head. "The barbarians and refugees are all cockroaches and rats! Accepting them is simply polluting the land. They should all be expelled. The serfs should just work in the fields. The lord's hunting grounds should not be allowed to be set foot by lowly civilians."

After that, he glanced at Uliyan and said with a half-smile: "Sorry, I forgot that you have not yet been knighted and are still a commoner."

Wu Liyang waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay! It's okay! What the adults said is right!"

As he spoke, he called out to Leo, "Did you hear me? The master has spoken, hurry up and drive away those damned savages!"

Leo was enjoying the fun, but upon hearing this he had no choice but to leave, and by the way he went to inspect the Langya barbarians' camp.

During this period, savages continued to come from the north and join the savage camp, but they were all small groups of ten or twenty people.

But there are more batches and the total number of people is also not small. Now there are hundreds more people in the Wolf Fang Camp, and the population is almost the same as that of the River Bay.

These new entrants into the population were also savages who could not survive in the north.

Unfortunately, not all the wild tribes could find a perfect retreat before the unrest. Some of them were completely wiped out before they had time to migrate.

Some migrated and fled aimlessly, and finally scattered in the wilderness.

It is estimated that less than one percent of people are lucky enough to reach the river bend alive.

Magna quietly told Leo that the one hundred or so newly joined savage survivors came from at least five savage tribes.

The farthest tribe is at least 500 miles away, and even the Wolf Fang Tribe has had little contact with them.

These savages also brought news that a new alien tribe with over a thousand people had formed in the north again.

This time, however, the alien tribe did not climb over the gravel hills and advance toward the river bend.

Instead, it crossed hundreds of miles of forest and appeared on the World Tree Avenue north of Isenpol.

The knighthoods of the Petukhov family were all located on the south bank of the Anzeno River, southwest of Isenpol.

So when the united knight lords formed a patrol team, another square-flag knight whose fiefdom was on the north bank of the Anzeno River, and Rigolav took charge of the defense of the north and south banks respectively.

This alien coalition force of over a thousand people rushed out of the forest of Wolf-Driving Plain and massacred two human villages in succession before they were stopped by the troops assembled by another square-flag knight in charge of defense.

Rigolav's third brother, the extraordinary knight Solovy, also led his troops to participate in the cleanup operation, but did not bring the river bend patrol team.

Hewan was too far away from the battlefield and could not catch up with the war. Moreover, the lords of Isenpol did not expect dozens of militiamen from Hewan to participate in a war of this scale.

Not only the wild people's camps, but also the villagers' camps and refugees' camps, the population is also increasing.

The villagers' camp constantly absorbed refugees and skilled craftsmen from the local people of Isenbol. As long as someone had a skill, Uliyang would not hesitate to give him the status of a formal subject and allocate sufficient land to them.

The refugee camp was filled with a large number of refugees brought back by the patrol team, and it seemed chaotic for a while, but under the militarized management, no major disturbance occurred.

After a period of fattening, labor and military training, those with outstanding performance were also sent to the River Bay Peninsula to become official members.

Uliyan was also afraid that Leo would be irritated by Nelson's words and would draw his sword if they disagreed, so he simply sent Leo away and handled it himself.

Nelson also made many constructive suggestions, such as doubling taxes, selling off the useless old and weak, and chaining the ogres "enslaved" in the river bay.

Moreover, the military force of Hewan was very weak. The militiamen on guard and patrol were all wearing tattered armor, without even a proper legion chain mail. Some of the militiamen were even wearing various fur protective gear, looking like uncivilized savages.

He pointed at his followers and said proudly, "If you want to survive in the wilderness, you must have sufficiently sophisticated equipment. It is not feasible to have a group of bandits as your subordinates."

His followers and guards were all dressed in fine legion chain mail, iron helmets with leather neck guards, plate shoulder pads and splint arm guards. They were equipped with steel knives and swords, iron-clad crossbows, and were armed to the teeth.

Uliyan expressed his envy and was very moved.

After returning to the lord's house, Nelson sat down at the table in front of the fire pit, shaking his head and criticizing the backwardness of the lord's house.

In his opinion, manor castles were where noble lords should live. This traditional northern building from hundreds of years ago was too backward and should have been eliminated long ago. It was like living in an ancestral temple that had been abandoned for many years.

Sir Nelson complained: "When I become the lord of this place, I will raze it to the ground as soon as possible."
