Warlord: King of All Clans

Seeing Finn, who was in love as a teenager, frequently visiting the Pegasus Knight Veil, Leo couldn't help but think of something and asked curiously, "Veil, how are you and Ivan doing?"

He still remembered that Wei'er used to have dinner with Ivan from time to time and had a lot of feelings for this handsome blond guy, but after so much time, the two of them seemed to have made no progress.

Wei Er curled her lips in dissatisfaction and replied, "He is too weak. I regret it."

Leo was shocked. What? Could it be that the most handsome guy in River Bay is just a show-off?

He quickly asked, "What's going on? Where is Ivan weak?"

Wei'er rolled up her sleeves, revealing her toned arms, and said proudly, "He's weak everywhere. I let him use one hand and he couldn't beat me. Such a defeated general is not worthy of being my husband."

Leo was immediately disappointed, and his curiosity was extinguished.

Well, Wei'er is the strongest girl among the wild folks in the river bay. She was a wild folk hunter who passed the assessment before she reached adulthood. After becoming a Pegasus Knight, she was the first to be promoted to the extraordinary level.

Although Ivan is also a super knight, he is just a rural boy with little talent and training, and his ability in one-on-one combat is definitely not as good as Wei'er.

After Wei'er finished talking about Ivan, she quietly revealed her thoughts, "I'm going to challenge Vicky now. If he can beat me, I'll pursue him!"

Leo was speechless: "Vic is already married, why are you still chasing her!"

Wei Er said nonchalantly: "Then I will fight with his wife. If I can't beat him, I deserve to be a concubine. If I win, then I will be the mistress."

Leo couldn't listen any longer. The culture of you barbarians is really hard to understand. No wonder you are discriminated against by the imperial people.

The team of more than 300 people saw Kitland from a distance, but it took them half a day to reach the city gate.

As the Earl's main city, Kitland's population is no longer considered barbarian, but it still retains a lot of barbarian culture.

Many of the subjects have densely packed battle patterns tattooed on their faces and bodies. The more powerful the warrior, the more elaborate and complex the battle patterns.

The color of the battle pattern also has special specifications. Warriors who hunt ordinary beasts can only have white battle patterns, while warriors who hunt low-level monsters can have green patterns tattooed.

There are blue tattoos representing mid-level monsters and purple tattoos representing high-level monsters going up.

On Had's chest and neck, there is a purple bear head and a purple sea snake tattooed respectively.

He could have also tattooed a purple giant, but Had had boasted that the powerful high-level giant was killed by the joint efforts of the adventure team, so it was not counted in his name.

The purple pigment that can be used for tattoos without fading is more valuable than gold in the barbarian tribes, and only a few large barbarian clans have it.

Looking at so many tattoos, Leo was already considering whether to open up a trade route to supply pigments specifically to the Earldom of Beowulf.

In addition to tattoos, most of the people of Kitland wear various fur clothes and beast helmets to show their bravery.

However, most of these people are older, and the proportion of younger people wearing tattoos and animal heads is significantly lower, and they tend not to have tattoos on their faces.

Walking on the streets of Kitland, Leo seemed to have traveled through thousands of years from the Middle Ages to the primitive tribal era.

Bjorn is also a wild man. He explained to Rioko as they walked, "The wild men in the north are divided into many clans. The largest clan in the Wolf Driving Plain is the Basaka people. The largest clan here is the Biwolf people. In addition, there are the Lavard people, the Mordo people, and the Harlan people. They are all large clans with a population of tens of thousands."

Leo was a little surprised when he heard this, "I am a Lavard. Are we Lavard people also wild people?"

Finn, who was standing next to him, understood this question better. He explained, "The Lavard people are one of the great clans in the North. Although their ancestors have never produced an earl, after naturalization, there are also many square banner families who are loyal to the Frelov family and our Beowulf family."

"As for those who are unwilling to pledge allegiance, they are still barbarians, but they are not recognized in the Earldom of Fruilov and are expelled. However, in our Earldom of Beowulf, barbarians also have the right to survive."

Leo couldn't help but laugh as he watched Finn become more proud as he spoke.

Beowulf's earldom is full of mountains and hills. The barbarians are unwilling to pay taxes and just run away to the mountains. There is no basis for rule at all.

Beowulf's family is equal to the largest wildling clan in the North, and is the main branch of Lady Beowulf.

If other barbarians want to live in peace, they can only obey Earl Beowulf, who holds the title of Earl, as their leader, and use this as the legal basis to stop the Imperials from expanding into the North.

After all, we also have the Earl, and any invasion by others would be a foul.

Every time another earl's family defeated Beowulf's family, the wild folk would flock out, protect Beowulf's family under the banner of vassalage, and then return to the mountains to be their own mountain kings.

The successive heads of the Beowulf family also understood this clearly and always upheld this rule. They did not treat other barbarian clans as barbarians to be wiped out. Therefore, after hundreds of years of recuperation, their strength grew stronger and stronger.

However, the area actually controlled by the Beowulf family has always been limited to the jurisdiction of the main city of Kitland, and the economic and military power of the entire earldom is difficult to integrate.

When fighting, there are often tens of thousands of wild hunters, but the actual organized army is barely three thousand, and the rest are primitive tribal soldiers who can only shoot arrows and charge forward.

They looked invincible, but if a real fight broke out, any main army of the Northern Earl would be able to defeat them head-on.

This system is far behind the times and will be overthrown sooner or later.

The conflict is now very serious. The mountains can no longer support so many people. The wild people are all coveting the fertile land under the mountains, but Beowulf's family does not have the ability to lead them out.

The barbarian leaders would not say that they did not pay taxes or train soldiers on a regular basis, which resulted in the Beowulf family being unable to support much of a standing army and form a large legion.

They would only say that we have more people and are all strong and good at fighting, and that since we cannot defeat other earls, it must be that our own earl is not good enough.

They arrived at the Earl's Mansion, which had a simple and sturdy style. Had's wife came out to greet them in person. Leo took a few of his men to stay in Earl Beowulf's Mansion, waiting for Had to recover.

As long as Hader can suppress his injuries and act as usual, the prestige he has built up over most of his life will be enough to subdue the savages, and Leo will no longer have to worry about them.

While Knight Solovy was still on the way with the River Bend Legion, the Pegasus Knight carrying Leo's letter had already returned to River Bend.

When the Minotaur Strong received the letter, he was overjoyed and immediately called his lieutenant Roman to show him Leo's order.

"The lord has ordered us to raise our troops immediately and march south to attack Gustavus!"

Romon was furious. He pointed at Leo's letter and read it to Strong word by word. "Did Leo say that? Leo said that he wanted you to form an army, actively prepare for war, spy on the south, and be ready to go to war at any time!"

Strong didn't care. "It doesn't matter. I can't read anyway. I'll just fight if you ask me to."

Before Roman could say something else, Strong had already taken out a box, which contained the Gustav family's military maps, intelligence on garrisons in various places, and various related military documents.

"I have already formed a legion, and we are preparing for war every day. As for the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, they are all here, ready at any time. What else do you have to say?"
