Warlord: King of All Clans

"Ah? Why is there a girl?"

Leo was very curious, so he rubbed the little dog-headed man's belly to see if Six had a penis.

"Ah, go away!" Olivia impatiently slapped Leo's hand away and protected Six under her skirt.

The first batch of ogre cubs sent by Feisa did not distinguish between males and females. Instead, she picked a bunch of the weakest and most difficult to raise cubs in the tribe.

At the beginning, in several battles with the River Bend Militia, almost all the kobold warriors were killed or wounded, and there were too many cubs in the tribe.

Leo proposed to send twenty ogres as hostages. Not only did the other ogres not care, even Fesa, who loved her people, did not object much.

According to past experience, these skinny cubs basically cannot be raised even if they are not sent away, and can only be abandoned.

In her opinion, these cubs were sent to be slaves and could never return.

So of course Fraser would not pick the strong and powerful ones, but would take the opportunity to send out a group of "burdensomeness".

As the relationship between Riverbend and the kobolds eased, Frasa discovered that the kobold cubs sent to Riverbend were not abused, but were well cared for, and grew stronger than their brothers and sisters in the valley.

So she continued to secretly throw the extra piglets into the river bend pigsty to be raised by humans until she was exposed by Leo.

Later, there was enough food in the Gnoll Valley and there was no need to throw away dogs anymore.

In this way, at least one third of the thirty-six kobold cubs are female.

The concepts of the Gnolls are almost the same as those of the other tribes in the wilderness. Females have a lower status than males and receive less food allocation than males since childhood.

Over time, males become stronger and stronger, while females become weaker and weaker.

After Shekes came to the river bend, like other female kobold cubs, she was ostracized by the male cubs and could not compete for food, so her body became thinner and smaller.

If Olivia hadn't been careful enough, often keeping an eye on them, teaching a lesson to the strong cubs who competed for food, and also feeding them enough food, these female cubs might even have starved to death.

As a result, although Six was ranked sixth, his physical strength was ranked after fifteenth, and he was left behind when Leo selected the Gnoll Army.

At the same time, these dog-headed cubs live in human society, are naturally disadvantaged, and live cautiously.

Their personalities are generally weaker and more sensitive than their counterparts in the Kobold Valley.

Life is even more difficult for female kobolds. Not only are they despised and bullied by human children, but even male cubs look down on them.

So when Leo asked Six why he didn't go to military training, the sensitive little dog-headed man's first thought was that he was afraid of losing his value and being abandoned or killed by humans.

In their minds, female kobolds are just reproductive tools, and only one in a hundred can become a kobold warrior.

But in human society, they have lost even their attribute as reproductive tools and are almost useless.

Leo, whose mental power is growing stronger, can sense Sheeks' fear.

Although he didn't care much about these dogs, he didn't hate them either. He just let Olivia raise them for fun.

But as they grew older and their intelligence increased, their human attributes gradually surpassed those of dogs, and Leo had to treat them as humans.

So Leo encouraged him in the Kobold's language style: "Horse Rider Six, smart, brave and strong, brave dog, not afraid of difficulties!"

"Think about Fisa, the king of the kobolds!"

The weak Six poked his head out from under Olivia's skirt, looking at his human master with sparkling eyes.

"Six, you'll get stronger!"

On Uliyan's side, he also convened the Second Squadron of the River Bend Militia Regiment, and asked them, led by Deputy Commander Vicchi, to patrol and sweep the area around the river bend, clearing out and recruiting small groups of bandits or refugee camps.

If they are relatively docile refugees, they will be brought back to the logging camp at the river bend, where they will be gradually converted and absorbed and become their own subjects.

We should try our best to wipe out the vicious bandits and robbers and prevent them from becoming more powerful.

Magna of the Wolf Fang Camp received the news and sent thirty wild youths to join the patrol team.

They are all qualified Basaka longbowmen with some hunting experience, but have not yet passed the assessment of wild hunters.

To become a wild hunter, one must kill a large wild animal such as an adult brown bear or saber-toothed tiger through solo hunting.

This kind of large carnivorous beast is not so easy to kill. Even modern people with high-powered hunting rifles can defeat them in minutes, let alone a wild young man who only has a longbow, heavy arrows, and a bear hunting bone spear?

In the Wolf-Driving Plain, every year many young wild folk are tragically killed by their prey during assessments.

Even with the big hunters taking care of them in secret, there were still many who were injured or died.

After a great war, Magna deeply realized the superiority of the imperial military system.

Instead of letting the tribesmen gain experience little by little by hunting wild beasts, it is better to directly join the regular army and undergo regular military training and actual combat.

A patrol of fifty River Bend militiamen and thirty Basaka longbowmen is already a large force in the wilderness, enough to deal with most threats.

They relied on experience gained in the jungle and slowly caught up with the first squadron in strength.

If we really encounter a strong enemy, we can contact Hewan in time and form a coalition force to eliminate the threat with all our strength.

As for the fifty wild hunters agreed upon at the beginning, they were all sent to Leo.

These wild hunters, who are at level 2.5 in strength, have strong individual combat capabilities and their longbows have terrifying lethality.

With a little military training, you can become a third-level elite imperial longbowman.

The Empire's elite longbowmen, the Empire's elite heavy-armored infantry, and the Empire's armored cavalry are all top-level arms of the civilian army.

Going further up are officer-level sergeants, knights, and powerful transcendents.

At this point, Hewan had two regular armies, the 50-man Hewan Infantry Regiment, and the 50-man Basaka Archer Regiment.

Leo took half of them each and divided them into two teams.

A team of twenty-five infantrymen and twenty-five Basaka longbowmen are responsible for patrolling and guarding the River Bend.

Another team of the same strength went into the Wolf-Driving Plain to hunt and get to know their teammates during the battle.

Infantrymen can teach archers regular army battlefield skills, while archers can teach infantrymen wilderness survival and hunting skills.

The two teams rotate once a week, striving to reach level three before the next big battle.

But a large part of a soldier's strength comes from his weapons and equipment.

The battlefield is not an arena, what matters is teamwork.

Even if a team of level 3 heavy-armored elite infantry took off their full body armor, they might not be a match for a team of level 2 regular infantry.

If facing long-range attacks such as rain of arrows, the former would suffer even greater casualties.

The double-layer fur armor with iron plates that Hewan can currently provide can only barely reach the defensive power of regular infantry.

It’s not bad in winter, as the double-layer fur armor provides both defense and warmth.

In the summer, fighting in these fur armors is more uncomfortable than wearing iron armor, and it can greatly reduce combat effectiveness without even starting a battle.

So Ulian asked Valery to start studying the production of chain armor, scale armor, ziplock armor, and cloth armor.

Forget about plate armor, even Isenbol doesn’t have a plate armor workshop.

The plate armor hand-hammered by blacksmiths in the North takes three years to make, but its overall performance is not as good as the chain mail made in two months.

Valery studied it for a few days and finally came to the conclusion that it would be better to buy it!
