Warlord: King of All Clans

In addition to Strong, Leo also left Freya to guard the house to prevent assassinations by high-level extraordinary people.

Logically speaking, high-level extraordinary people are all distinguished figures, and few people are willing to carry out assassination operations.

However, as the war becomes more intense, the threat posed by the River Bend to the outside world becomes greater and greater, and there is no guarantee that an assassin stronger than Gerard will not appear.

Anyway, Leo now understands that Freya can fight anyone on equal terms as long as they are below the Saint level.

She could be pecked by the groom's goose and made her cry for help, but she could also block the eighth-level knight Godwin under the city wall and leave him helpless.

As for Leo's expeditionary force, he served as the commander of the corps and Solovy served as the deputy commander, leading the four troops of the River Bend First Musket Regiment, the Second Musket Regiment, the First Artillery Regiment, and the Special Operations Regiment to the expedition.

Basarov's First Musketeer Regiment, which belonged to the heavily armed musketeers, still fought with large shields, heavy chain mail and plate breastplates.

They are the starting troops of the River Bend line tactics. In addition to providing firepower, they also serve as line-holding soldiers. They need to face the rain of arrows from Northern longbowmen and Imperial crossbowmen, as well as the frontal charge of Imperial infantry or cavalry.

Ivan's Second Musketeer Regiment was a mobile infantry regiment. All members were equipped with riding horses and no longer equipped with armor. However, in addition to flintlock rifles and daggers, they were also equipped with a flintlock pistol.

These mobile infantry do not need to fight on horseback. They only need to quickly provide support or seize designated locations when military orders are issued.

Marvin's First Artillery Regiment was equipped with a variety of new smoothbore artillery styles.

As for the special operations regiment, this time Leo only brought the Pegasus Knights, the Savage Sniper Regiment, and the indispensable Gnoll Scout Regiment.

The remaining troops were used to defend the home.

Home defense operations are not like away battles. The alien troops and garrison troops in the river bend can also provide combat power that is no less than that of the Earl's Legion.

This time the expeditionary force had only 5,000 men, but they were more elite than the last time. Moreover, after capturing the warships of the Beboos family, Leo modified ten artillery warships, which were enough to ensure safety on the surface of the Anzeno River.

Artillery warships are completely different from the previous armed merchant ships. After all, merchant ships are used for trade, and the structure and materials of the hull are not so sophisticated.

The previous armed merchant ships, after being converted to steam power, clearly had side gun positions more than ten meters long on each side, but they only dared to install three thousand-gun guns on each side.

It’s not that there are not many cannons in the river bend, but that there are more than three. With one round of salvos, the merchant ship is in danger of falling apart and capsizing.

As for the thirty-pound cannon of the Ten Thousand, it could only be placed on the most solid bow and was not dared to be placed on the side.

But warships are different, they are born for war.

After a slight modification, six thousand-man cannons were installed on each side, and ten-thousand-man cannons were installed on the bow and stern respectively. When firing, it was still more stable than the previous armed merchant ships.

After unlocking the artillery casting technology, the only thing limiting the development of the River Bay artillery is the training speed of qualified artillerymen.

At the dock of Isenbol, Olivia led everyone to see Leo off.

Leo had explained everything he needed to, but he was still worried about Strong. He grabbed his horns and said, "Don't forget a single word of what I said. There is no ambiguity. You don't need to interpret it from a different angle. Just guard our river bay and wait for me to come back. Do you understand?"

Si Zhuang nodded and bowed, "I understand, I understand very much!"

Seeing that Leo didn't say anything, Szhuang said loudly: "No change of home, no exchange of blood, no active attack!"

Strong led his troops into battle with a strong alien style. As long as he could win, it didn't matter how many people died on his side.

The last time Leo used the tactic of exchanging homes with the troll army, he did so because he knew that Gravel Fort could be defended, but Strong, who came up with this idea, didn't care about that.

In his opinion, Stonebreak Fort was just one of several strongholds in Riverbend, and it would be a great deal to exchange it for the troll army's lair.

The same thing happened with the attack on Buck Fortress. The large tribe of ogres rushed forward, and as long as they could take over Buck Fortress, it didn't matter to them how many people died.

All we can say is that he was a good general, but definitely not a good king.

If he fights like this, the commander will definitely gain great achievements, but Hewan will suffer heavy losses.

Leo grabbed the Kobold General again and said, "Six, don't do anything stupid with Strong without Olivia's consent. If you really don't have a chance, ask Roman first."

After thinking for a moment, Leo added, "And don't listen to what Fraser says!"

Six wagged his tail and stood up straight, "Yes! Big!"

Without Fraser's instructions and Six's command, Strong could not command any troops other than the Gnoll Artillery Regiment.

Olivia, who was standing by, remained silent until she kissed Leo goodbye, then she whispered, "You have to be careful, go early and come back early."

"Okay, I'm leaving. This battle isn't stressful. I'll be back soon."

When the fleet sailed away, Olivia suddenly felt depressed and couldn't help but dry heaving.

After the spring sowing, the weather quickly warmed up and the Earl of Odalov House in Anhurst no longer had heating.

Mitchell, the Grand Duke of the North, sat in his study, handling complicated government affairs.

Looking at the envelope from his second son Grant, Grand Duke Mitchell couldn't help but frown.

Only half a year after the capture of Clemens, Grant had already asked him for three batches of aid supplies, each one larger than the last.

As the son of a grand duke, Grant obviously had no concept of money and materials, and felt that support of ten or twenty thousand gold coins was nothing to the entire Odalov family.

But the finances of the Grand Duke of the North were very tight right now. It was considered a good management skill that there was no fiscal deficit. He really did not have much spare money to support his son's new earldom.

After thinking about it, the Grand Duke of the North thought of his adopted son and immediately felt that Rio Mundo was more reliable.

If you give him a random reward of 800 or 1,000 gold, Leo will burst into tears of gratitude, call you dad loudly, and write a 1,000-word essay in immature writing style overnight to express his loyalty.

But his own son, not only did he spend tens of thousands of dollars, but what he received was another letter for help.

Now, Leo has grown into a fledgling and no longer needs the care of his adoptive father. This time, he brought him a boatload of specialties from the river bay.

It is not easy to support the power of an earl. Normally, it takes an investment of one or two generations so that the tiny seedling will not die.

But Leo gave him too many surprises - originally he only took him in as his son because of his background as an elf demigod, and subconsciously he only thought that with Fang Qi's figure, he would be able to become a powerful vassal like the Knight Barro in the future.

Now that he has the Earldom of Riverbend as his loyal supporter, the Duke of the North has much more room to maneuver than before.

As long as there are no problems during his reign, and Grant grows up, with the two close earls acting as his left and right arms and protecting the rear, the next Grand Duke of the North will have an easier time than him.

Looking at the list of supplies requested by Grant, the Grand Duke of the North felt a little upset and almost regretted letting his second son go out and start his own business.

But Earl Grant had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. So he picked up a pen, crossed out a few less necessary items on Grant's list, and handed it to the butler beside him.

"According to this list, collect the supplies and send them to Clemens."
