Warlord: King of All Clans

Beth was startled by the sudden appearance of the mouse, and was even more surprised when Freya's voice was heard.

The lord's hobby is really unique, he actually keeps mice on his body!

Freya crawled out of the basket. Her body had become the right size for the wheat cake. She stood on the coarse cloth, holding a wheat cake she had taken a bite of, and shouted, "It's delicious! It's even better than Sister Olivia's wheat cake!"

Leo was immediately attracted. The wheat cakes that Olivia gave to Freya were specially provided for Freya. They were sprinkled with various chopped nuts and brushed with honey and cheese. They smelled extremely fragrant when they came out of the oven.

Freya, who was never picky about food, could finish other people's wheat cakes and eat all the miscellaneous food from devout worshippers, but not many people praised her for this.

"Let me try it too!"

Bessie was also very happy watching the man and the rat wolfing down the food, and explained, "It's herbs, I added herbs to it!"

Little Noyce also added, "This is Bessie's family recipe. It uses several common wolf-repelling herbs to enhance the flavor of food. It also has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and restoring physical strength. It's very good!"

Leo nodded repeatedly, "This taste is totally worth opening a bakery. Bei Xi, why don't you open a bakery in Linhai Town? I guarantee that the business will be booming!"

Bei Xi had never thought of doing business, but after hearing Leo's casual suggestion, she couldn't help but be tempted, "Open a store..."

Before this, she was just a farm girl who worked on the land with her parents, but she was much smarter and more independent-minded than her peers, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to approach little Noyce's construction site and cook for the soldiers and craftsmen to earn money.

The lower-class civilians have a very strong sense of survival. After all, those who are not strong have become extinct.

During this period, foreign tribes invaded and the whole clan had to flee. It was winter and there was no source of income at all. Bexi was secretly anxious.

In the past, no matter how confident she was in her cooking skills, if someone asked her to open a shop selling cakes, Beixi would definitely laugh it off.

In a place without order, food will be snatched away as soon as it appears, which will not only make no profit but also threaten lives.

But after seeing the hustle and bustle and rules of the river bend, this suggestion became a very good one.

Seeing this, Little Noyce also encouraged: "With this skill, it will be easy to gain a foothold in Hewan. Even if you don't have funds in the early stage, you can apply for a stall in the market area first, and then rent a shop when you make money."

As he spoke, he also reached out to take the wheat cakes from the basket.

Unexpectedly, Leo shrank back and put out his hands to protect the basket.

Freya went even further and simply stretched out her body to cover the basket.

The man and the rat stared at him fiercely, ready to show their teeth.

"This..." Little Noyce's hand froze in mid-air.

"Delicious! Delicious!" Ignoring the embarrassment of the eldest disciple, Leo and Freya each took a wheat cake and walked away while chewing on it.

Bessie looked at Leo's back and said weakly, "My basket..."

The knights who gathered from Isenpol also looked at this emerging town curiously.

The names of the settlements in Hewan Territory are very easy to understand. The name of Linhai Town comes from the fact that it is located in the vast forest in the southeast of Qulangyuan.

This was originally the pioneering territory of the Gladstone family, with several logging properties and a lot of farmland.

However, due to the constant invasions by foreign races, it has not been able to reach a population of 100 households in the past few decades and become a qualified corner flag knight territory.

The wild aliens are also omnivorous creatures. They not only plunder people and livestock, but also the wheat in the fields.

If the surviving humans do not receive help from the lord, they will not be able to survive the winter in the north.

The Gladstone family is considered very powerful. They have stayed in the northwest for hundreds of years, constantly fighting with the Wolf-Quxing alien race, but they have managed to stand firm and always maintained the territories of the three knight territories.

As for the nearby corner flag leader, for a hundred years, it has been like a rootless duckweed, constantly changing, but never able to grow stronger.

Since being occupied by Hewan Lord, the original earthen fence of Linhai Town was quickly overturned, and a large amount of cement, river sand and stone slabs formed the new city wall.

The Imperial Legion camp construction technology that Uliyan inherited from the heavy armored elite infantry regiment of the Wind God Fortress has spread to the craftsmen group in the river bend.

The settlements of all sizes in the river bend all have a strong military style.

On top of the five-meter-high stone wall of Linhai Town, there is a three-meter-high hollow wooden wall. The width on the top is enough for four people to walk side by side, and there are rows of shooting holes inside for militia crossbowmen and archers to hide in to defend against foreign enemies.

The city walls had a clear plan from the beginning, with military areas, residential areas, market areas, and workshop areas. The previous dilapidated sheds and adobe huts were all forcibly demolished.

Each area is also separated by walls and watchtowers, with only a few main streets connecting them. Even if the enemy breaks into the city, they will have to engage in even more difficult street fighting.

The city implements a semi-militarized management system. The city defense militia also takes on the responsibility of maintaining public security. The regiment commander and squad leaders are regular soldiers with a fixed position and receive military pay.

Although for Leo, this legion camp covering less than half a square kilometer is not even a small town, but in the eyes of foreign knights, it is a city!

And there are four such cities in Hewan!

Although Agata, the lord of Linhai Town, is a woman, she is the close friend and right-hand man of the River Bay Lady, and the fiancée of the Wind Knight Solovy.

Even the most unruly leader behaves like a dog in front of her.

Although there were a lot of people, everywhere was clean and tidy, and everything was in order, which made the knights from Isenbol feel at a loss.

Although we have entered wartime and a large number of troops are stationed in camps outside the city, there is no sign of tension on the faces of the city's residents.

On the contrary, business in the market area of ​​Linhai Town was booming due to the arrival of the Legion.

Arnold and Rudolf walked down the street, looking at the neatly arranged shops and the densely packed stalls, and felt like they were back in Isenbol.

Their knight territories are ancestral lands that have been operated for hundreds of years and have also reached the scale of small towns, but they are definitely not as neat and lively as this one.

At least the road surface cannot be hardened. Who would have so much money to pave the ground with stone slabs? Even the lord's castle is not so luxurious!

As they walked, Rudolph sighed, "I should come to the river bend more often in the future."

"Yes, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will really become a country bumpkin and won't even understand the ways of the world."

"As long as we hold on to these cities, the foundation of the river bank will not collapse."

Arriving at the entrance of the town, Arnold, the square-flag knight, suddenly said, "It's time for my little daughter to get married."

"There are so many knights in the Reach, there's bound to be one who'll take a liking to my daughter."

While Arnold was considering lowering the standards for marriage, the troll army entrenched in the Gravel Hills had new movements.

A mixed force of two thousand men, led by a troll leader, circled towards the north of Linhai Town.

This "Mixed 2096", together with the previous "Troll 1065", formed an encirclement trend towards Linhai Town from the left and right.
