Warlord: King of All Clans

The thirty-pound solid iron ball headed straight for the heavy south gate of Arbroath City.

At this time, Godwin, a high-ranking eighth-level knight, was already standing on the tower above the south gate. Seeing this, he picked up an iron spear beside him and threw it with all his might.

The heavy iron spear was like a flash of lightning, accurately hitting the high-speed flying shell, and a ball of sparks exploded in the air.

Amid the iron trees and silver flowers that were particularly eye-catching even in daylight, the solid iron ball was knocked off its track and flew straight up high.

It flew to a height of dozens of meters before its kinetic energy was exhausted, then it fell with a roar and smashed heavily into the moat in front of the city gate.

Leo and Strong were both stunned and looked at each other.

He is worthy of being the strongest person in the Beboos family!

Strong said without a word, "One more shot!"

In a blink of an eye, another cannonball flew over. This time, Godwin had to jump off the city wall, clasp his hands together, and catch the cannonball with his bare hands.

The heavy iron ball was blocked by the extremely dense magic power at a distance of half a meter between his hands, and it was suspended in the air and spun rapidly.

Godwin's body was also pushed back by the huge impact force. He retreated seven or eight meters and stopped in front of the city gate.

When the force of the solid cannonball completely dissipated, Godwin reached out and caught the thirty-pound iron ball.

Looking at this plain, hot iron ball, he felt angry and embarrassed as he had to use all his strength to block it.

He raised the big iron ball and threw it towards Leo!

Leo calmly watched the big iron ball fly over him, passing over his head several meters high, then passing over the merchant ship and falling far into the water of the Anzeno River.

Throwing a thirty-pound iron ball hundreds of meters already demonstrated Godwin's extraordinary strength, but wanting to hit Leo accurately was a bit too much.

Leo looked at the trajectory of the big iron ball and knew it couldn't hurt him.

Soon, the long cannons of the three armed merchant ships were adjusted and aimed at the city gate.

Godwin was disheartened, jumped up and returned to the tower.

Amid the roar, three heavy artillery shells flew in, blasting the heavy city gate that was enough to withstand the impact of a battering ram for half an hour into pieces.

By this time it was already late in the evening, the afterglow was gradually turning red, the Anzeno River was sparkling, and everything was quiet between heaven and earth.

Both the soldiers of the River Bend Legion and the defenders of Abros felt a sense of desolation.

Leo did not plan to attack the city at night, but continued to stay on the armed merchant ship to suppress the defenders' force and prevent them from leaving the city to interfere with the landing.

Until the entire legion landed and established the legion camp, no more garrison troops came out.

The South Gate near the port was left open, and no one considered repairing it.

After dinner, two messengers came and presented a head.

Leo frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

The messenger explained, "This is the captain of the city gate who expelled the women from the city without permission during the day. Because he violated military orders, my master beheaded him and put his head in public. I specially sent it to the Earl for his inspection."

Leo was able to recover from his bad impression of Godwin and nodded, saying, "Very good. Tell your master that although we cannot coexist with our enemies, we northerners should behave like northerners. I have learned a lot from Lord Godwin's character."

"I was disrespectful during the day."

Above the Lord's Castle of Arbroath, a demonized black crow flashed by in the night and landed on the castle's observation tower.

This is a rare magical bird in the North that can be tamed into a flying messenger, but only the earl's forces have the resources to tame it.

Godwin received the message sent by raven and opened it.

Count Kurolov's army captured the branch city of Tiammos!

The Count of Beboos's army was attacked from all sides and prepared to retreat to the main city!

The Northern Grand Duke's fleet blocks the Anzeno River!

The Earl's capital city of Clemens is in danger!

Godwin's eyes nearly blackened. He crushed the secret letter in his hand into powder and shouted, "This is really too much!"

Ever since the winter of the year before last, when Earl Beowulf's army of wild folks raided Asgard, the northern fortress of Earl Beboos's territory, on a snowy night, members of Earl Beboos's family have been able to deeply feel the restlessness of the surrounding forces.

In order to avoid being caught in a war on all sides, Godwin, a high-ranking knight who had been strong all his life, had to reluctantly pay 20 magic crystals and a large amount of money to the Earl of River Bay as war reparations to reduce Leo's desire for revenge.

At the same time, he frequently sent envoys to complain to the Grand Duke of the North and angrily denounced the troop mobilizations of the surrounding earls.

But the Grand Duke of the North just sneered and said nothing. At that time, the Duke Odalov's family also intended to cross the Anzeno River and expand northward, but was blocked by the gradually powerful Count Beboos family.

For hundreds of years, the Duke's family could only guard the south bank of the Anzeno River and watch helplessly as the fertile land on the north bank became farmland and pastures of the Beboos family.

The Earl's family of Beboos successively annexed four ancient earldoms before becoming one of the seven earls in the North today.

Now that the Beboos family is in decline, they think of looking for justice from the Grand Duke?

This big cake of theirs has already been at everyone's fingertips, and no one can resist taking a bite. Even the Grand Duke of the North took the opportunity to send his second son Grant to send troops to get a piece of the pie.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. In a blink of an eye, Earl Beboos ruled three branch cities, but only his city survived.

His staff also read the contents of the letter and became even more anxious. "Sir, what should we do now? The Earl's main city only has a thousand defenders, and there is no one guarding it. I'm afraid we can't stop the Grand Duke's fleet!"

Godwin raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, in a few days, my brother will rush back home and take charge of the main city."

The staff member cautiously revealed a hint of his intention, "What about us?"

Godwin stared at him coldly, and the staff immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

Godwin sat on the throne in the hall of the lord's castle for the whole night.

It was not until the next day when the sky was getting light and the east was gradually turning white that Godwin made up his mind and began to write the letter.

Soon, the two envoys from Abros City who delivered the head last night came to Leo with a handwritten letter from the city lord.

"Respected Earl of River Bay, the power of River Bay's guns and cannons is truly astonishing. The Earl is so enterprising at such a young age, which makes us older generations ashamed."

"The Beboos family is in a difficult situation right now. The Earl's main city is short of people to manage it. I can't continue to entertain guests here, so I have no choice but to hand over the city of Abros to you."

"It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."

"I heard that Isembol is thriving under the Earl's governance, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. I hope that after the Earl takes over Arbroath, he will also treat the people here well."

"I hope that after the Earl captures a city, his anger will subside and he will not continue to move eastward and join forces with those northern bandits."

"Given yours truly, Godwin Beboos."

Leo knew what was happening before he even finished reading it.

Godwin abandoned the city.
