Warlord: King of All Clans

Because it concerns its own safety, Hewan has been keeping a close eye on the battle situation in Isenbol.

Messengers from the river bend constantly traveled through the territory of the Petukhov family.

In the past few months, the Adonis family of Isenbol and the Petukhov family in the southern suburbs were hostile to each other, and battles of varying sizes continued.

Although in the battle, the Petukhov family relied on its large number of cavalry units and superb tactical command to firmly suppress the Adonis Legion, in fact, the Petukhov family was always at a disadvantage.

The reason is simple. The Adonis family is very wealthy and has the full support of "Count" Tariq.

It doesn’t matter how many defeats they suffer, as long as they retreat to the city of Isenpol, Rigolav will have no way to deal with them.

A city with a population of 20,000 people looks small, but it is actually very large. The nine-meter-high city wall is enough to withstand any army below the extraordinary level.

What's more, the Southern Suburbs Corps formed by the Petukhov family had a total strength of only 2,000 people. No matter how powerful they were, they could not capture Isenpol, which had a wartime garrison of 4,000 people.

Both Tariq and Flynn Adonis realized this and reduced the number of direct battles with Petukhov.

Sit firmly in the city and impose all-round sanctions on the Petukhov family!

With just the economic blockade, Petukhov's army began to show signs of decline in less than three months. The vassal corner flags saw that the situation was not right and began to voice opposition.

This is the difference in the basic base. Tariq owns a city and has developed river transportation. Although the northeastern and southeastern flags behind him remain neutral and are unwilling to participate in this war, they still sell food and supplies to the market in Isenpor as usual.

The Petukhov family was just a bunch of small villages in a remote mountain area with little arable land. No matter how they developed secretly, they could not compare to a city.

In fact, Rigolav had never thought about going to war. If Tariq had not wanted to deprive him of his territory, no matter how fiercely he cursed at the lords' meeting, he would not have gone to war with the other side.

But now that things have come to this, they can only wait and see, relying on plundering the corner flags of the Adonis family to make a living, and wait for a turning point to appear.

As the situation continued to deteriorate, Leo could no longer wait to continue like this.

He wants to take the initiative!

But before that, there is one more thing to do.

After taking a shower, changing clothes and adjusting his mindset, Leo took out the intermediate awakening potion that he had treasured for half a year.

This intermediate awakening potion, a reward from the Grand Duke of the North, is worth thousands of gold coins. The magic power it contains is more than ten times that of the initial awakening potion. It is almost pure liquid magic power.

The remaining ingredients are all magical drugs that are specifically designed to stimulate human extraordinary advancement.

The magic power of the awakening potion is too strong and will dissipate over time and cannot be preserved for long.

Leo's mid-level awakening potion was sealed in an expensive magic-sealing box. After discovering that Freya had a space item, he placed it in her small pocket.

But even so, this intermediate awakening potion can only be preserved for one year.

In other words, if Leo fails to advance to the lower-advanced level within a year, he will have to sell the potion first, or try to take it before reaching his peak state.

Knight Solovie, who had reached the threshold several years ago, had secretly been promoted to the intermediate level as soon as he got the advanced potion.

A mid-level extraordinary knight is called a Knight Commander. In an ordinary city, he is capable of becoming the leader of a knight group under the city lord. In an earl's mansion, he is also at the level of a general.

What's more, Solovy is the first heavily-armored Wind Knight in the Three Realms. In a small place like Isenbol, he is invincible in horse battles.

Leo's physical strength has long reached the low-advanced level, and he can always gain the upper hand when sparring with the Wind Knight or Rose Knight who are skilled in swordsmanship.

But both the Grand Duke of the North and Freya, with their high-level extraordinary keen perception, said that he was still at the low-intermediate level and was not suitable for taking the awakening potion for the time being.

The poison resistance of extraordinary people is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but they are also resistant to awakening potions. If they cannot advance after taking awakening potions once, the chance next time will only be slimmer.

In ancient times, the side effects of highly toxic advanced potions were no less than their positive effects. Many extraordinary people who failed to advance would often have their minds distorted by the potions and become possessed.

Even after taking the potion several times, he was unable to advance and instead turned into a monster.

By now, the way to transcendence and awakening potions have become very mature. Ninety percent of transcendents who have reached the threshold can be promoted if they take the awakening potion correctly.

But because of this, the price of awakening potion has become extremely expensive.

So in the past six months, Leo would hold Freya in his arms while sleeping after giving birth to the child, and would pick her up and tie her around his waist when he had nothing to do. He also ate a lot of magic-rich foods.

Until today, Leo finally advanced to the lower advanced level and touched the threshold for promotion to the middle level, but his physical fitness no longer improved steadily.

Leo asked his two generals, Ivan and Vichi, to guard outside the door, then opened the intermediate awakening potion and took it.

The intermediate awakening potion is not only a magical potion, but also a highly poisonous one. As soon as Leo swallowed it, his neck and face were immediately covered with blue and black blood vessels, and his eyes were blood red.

But a heat continued to emanate from his lower abdomen, quickly purifying the toxin, leaving only the effective part.

As the effect of the medicine reached his whole body, Leo felt that his vision gradually returned to normal, and at the same time his thinking became clearer, as if some switch in his mind was turned on, as if he suddenly got enlightened.

The rich magic power contained in the awakening potion originally filled the whole body but had nowhere to go. Now it found a home and attached itself to the muscles, bones and blood.

Most of the magic power poured into the brain and then disappeared.

Easily advance to the intermediate level!

At the same time, Leo had a series of hallucinations in his mind. An old orc was sitting cross-legged with a single-edged sword in front of him.

Then the old orc opened his eyes and looked into Leo's eyes.

The sword flashed and almost blinded his eyes.

The sword intent of the orc sword master strikes again!

But this time, Leo was not seriously injured. He just felt dizzy for a short time, and then it seemed as if something was extra.

Leo opened his eyes and looked at his hands. He suddenly realized, "The left wrist is the most vulnerable part. It is the weak point."

He looked up at the plate armor hanging in the room: "There is a weak spot three inches below the ribs, which can be pierced through with one blow."

This subtle feeling shocked him.

It is neither perspective nor data, but the experience and insights gained by the Beast Sword Master from a hundred years of fighting. Wherever his eyes look, weaknesses are immediately apparent, and numerous flaws are revealed!

Leo calls it the "mind's eye".

With a keen eye, every strike of the sword is a critical hit.

After being promoted to the intermediate level, Leo stopped procrastinating and started a new plan.

After a series of communications and conspiracies, the Petukhov family regrouped a 2,000-man army and headed towards the corner flag near Isenpol.

Leo also set out on the expedition with a thousand regular troops from the River Bay.

The two hundred kobold artillery teams of Niutou Wulongsizhuang, the three hundred elite infantry of Hewan of Ivan, the three hundred Basaka archers of Bjorn, and the two hundred giant shield crossbowmen of Basarov.

With the extraordinary fighting power of Hewan, only Vic was left to lead the reserve corps to defend, and the rest went out in full force!
