Warlord: King of All Clans

"Uncle, why are you blowing in the cold wind here? Where's Agatha?"

Leo climbed up the city wall and came to the side of this powerful and extraordinary knight.

He had seldom come to Buck Fortress in the past two years, and had become somewhat estranged from Knight Solovy.

Solovie came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I came out for a walk when I have nothing to do. Agata has already returned to Linhai Town. I have to wait for A Khan to come back before I can resign."

Leo sighed, "Thank you for your hard work these past two years."

After taking over the Bak Fortress, Hewan was worried about the revenge of the Talhan family, so he had the Solovyv Knight and the Akhan Knight stationed in the fortress, and they have been there almost all the time for the past two years.

Now the River Bend Lords and the Talhan tribe are as close as a family, the garrison forces of both sides have been reduced again and again, and Solovie has also fulfilled his duties.

As long as the two families do not fight, the werewolf troops led by Werewolf A Khan, plus the fortress garrison transferred from the river bend, are enough to deter the nearby nomadic forces and mobile ethnic groups and maintain trade between the two territories.

Solovie smiled and said, "Why is it so hard? We have never fought a war here. We just patrol and practice every day. My little one has become fat."

"Little Cry" is the name Solovie gave to his dragon scale horse, because the cry of this dragon scale horse is different from others and sounds more like crying.

After Solovie got this dragon-scale horse, he took better care of it than his wife and wanted to ride it to achieve great things.

Unfortunately, he was rarely involved in the battles in the river bend in recent years.

Leo could only say, "Uncle, when you go back, spend some time with Agata, and then go to Arbroath to see your foster father. Although the river bay needs to recuperate, the world is in chaos and war will break out again sooner or later. Don't give up your martial arts."

“It’s natural.”

Solovy is a Northern Wind Knight, who was trained by the Northern Duke's Mansion as a top war knight. In addition to his personal combat power, his military literacy is also not low.

Knight Solovy, like the other ten Knights of the Wind, only needs a little practice and training to become a qualified officer. After participating in a few wars, he will be as good as most of the flag generals.

Isenpol's flag bearers are all old, and the new generation is still very young. Rio really needs a backbone force like Solovy to assist.

After witnessing the dominance of high-level extraordinary people on the battlefield, Leo did not fall behind in the way of extraordinary people. Hewan's extraordinary system also increased investment, and extraordinary resources such as meditation training methods, magic honey, dragon meat, etc. were distributed to the hands of extraordinary people as much as possible.

Outstanding talents like Solovy are of course the first choice.

After inspecting Buck Fortress for two days and waiting for the werewolf Akhán to return, Leo and Solovy returned to River Bend together.

There are densely packed villages on both sides of the two-hundred-mile road from Buck Fortress to the river bend. Most of them are kobold settlements, but there are also many werewolf and human settlements.

The werewolves, who were extremely hostile to humans, originally hid in the mountains, but after participating in several wars in the River Bend, they became less xenophobic and began to settle down on both sides of the World Tree Avenue.

The endless stream of caravans also began to eat and spend the night in the werewolf settlements, tasting the game there.

There is a huge sign outside almost every werewolf restaurant and hotel.

"No human flesh!"

Leo looked along the way and even saw a werewolf child herding sheep in the grass by the roadside.

A tall and thin werewolf child, his body shape is not much different from Fraser's.

Leo suddenly became ill and shouted, "The wolf is coming!"

The werewolf child was frightened and protected his flock, looking around with his teeth bared.

Back at the river bend, Leo came to the wizard's tower and found Fraser who was immersed in chemical experiments.

"Look, I brought you some new things."

Feisha wagged her tail quickly, but her face showed disgust. She stretched out her hand to stop Leo from visiting her laboratory, "Get out, this is my laboratory!"

Leo went to the West to play but didn't take her with him, which made Fesha very resentful.

"No." Leo used his butt to squeeze in, looked around, and took out his harvest.

"look!"

In his hand, there was a glass bottle filled with transparent liquid, with red silk fibers swirling in the middle of the liquid.

Feisa took it, opened the lid, scooped out a few red threads with her claws, and then blew on them.

The red silk suddenly ignited without any fire, and a ball of sparks burst out.

Fisa said, "This is guncotton!"

"So you knew."

"It's recorded in the collection of the atrium that this is a magical herb from the West. It grows under the volcanic cliffs and blooms every winter. As long as there is a slight breeze, it will spontaneously ignite without fire, leaving no trace."

Leo nodded. It seemed that Fraser had really read a lot of books in the past two years.

He took out another ball of white cotton and said, "This is also a specialty of the Western Territory, but it's just ordinary cotton."

Feisha was not interested in this. "You can make winter clothes for Sister Olivia."

"No," Leo shook his head mysteriously, "Such cotton can also be refined into guncotton."

Frasa's eyes suddenly lit up. Natural magic guncotton is difficult to pick and is a rare material in the alchemy industry. The price of each piece is calculated in gold coins.

If ordinary cotton could be refined into guncotton, wouldn't we become rich?

Isn't alchemy all about turning stone into gold?

Although ordinary cotton is also a scarce commodity in the North, its market price is not even one-tenth of that of magic guncotton.

“How to make it?”

Leo was not impressed by nitrocellulose and could only roughly describe it, "First you need to degrease it, then nitrate it, then wash it, and that's it!"

Fisa was skeptical, "So simple?"

Leo nodded vigorously, "It's that simple!"

It sounds simple, but it is difficult to do. There is no mature experimental formula, and Fraser needs to conduct thousands of experiments to find the accurate method.

But this is how all new things in Riverbend come out. Leo only provides ideas, and others are responsible for the rest.

Fraser was skeptical and hadn't even started thinking about how to make nitrocellulose when Leo took out a ball of black material.

“It’s the rubber of the South.”

Currently, rubber can basically only be used as a sealing material. It was originally used by the primitive goblin tribesmen of the Free State of the Islands to fill the gaps in small boats.

The empire's alchemists also began to use it to make containers and shoes, or to wrap wheels for shock absorption after simple processing, but the market application was not broad.

Simply processed rubber is prone to aging, and will crack, powder, and mold with even the slightest change in climate.

But Leo knew the industrial prospects of this thing.

"Think about your steam car. If the wheels are covered with it, the wheels and axles can withstand stronger collisions. If you can inflate the rubber and turn it into a tire, then your steam car will be able to travel through mountains and rivers as if it were flat ground, and it will never damage the concrete road in the river bend again!"

When Feisa heard this, she immediately fell in love with the ball of rubber.

After she made the steam tank, she began to consider the miniaturization of steam vehicles, but the bulky steam engines were not so easy to reduce in size.

However, the heavy steam locomotive would easily break the wooden spokes. If it was equipped with steel wheels, the Hewan Road Administration would not allow her steam locomotive to be on the road.

The road administration said that the road is for horse-drawn carriages, not for her steel beasts!

If Leo's words come true, then her steam car will be on the road!
