Warlord: King of All Clans

There are more than just one or two new technologies in Hewan, but Leo just dealt with the ones Grant saw, and was too lazy to say more about the ones he didn't see.

Leo said goodbye to Grant only when the tail end of the army passed by the hill where Leo was.

Grant sent him down the mountain and said, "Don't worry about the logistics. The granaries in Clemens and Anhurst are open to you. I will also be responsible for your safety along the way. Please help me explain to Earl Hard."

Leo bowed, "Thank you, brother. Count Hard won't mind."

This time, Earl Fabti invaded Earl Had's Beowulf territory, which aroused public outrage. At this time, the benefits of Had's loyalty were reflected.

Not only Hermann from Freelov led his troops to support the entire northern border, but Leo from the river bend also came from afar. Grant and Odalov in the south also mobilized all their troops to help exert pressure.

Grant had captured the Earl of Clemens's capital and was promoted to Earl of the North, so he owed Hard a big favor and should have led his troops to support him immediately.

But his territory was still in a semi-paralyzed state and he could not continue to fight external wars.

They could only dispatch a part of the army to the eastern border to support the Beowulf family and curb the activities of the Kurolov Legion.

Last year, the five earls joined forces to divide up the Earldom of Beboos, but this year, the four earls joined forces to resist the expansion of Count Kurolov.

Before leaving, Leo glanced at Grant, who was full of confidence and high spirits, and couldn't help but advise him, "Brother, you have the protection of the Grand Duke of the North, and no one will dare to mess with you in the short term. You can slow down the construction of the army and the city defense and settle the people's livelihood first."

This time when he led his troops across the Earldom of Grant, Leo discovered that the farmlands in the entire territory were overgrown with weeds. What was originally the most developed agricultural area on the north bank of the Anzeno River was now uninhabited for hundreds of miles.

This was certainly due to the war last year, but this year, Grant was not in a hurry to arrange for his subjects to cultivate the land and sow in the spring, but instead vigorously recruited laborers to repair the city defenses and form a legion, which was a bit excessive.

After farming for a long time, Leo always felt uncomfortable seeing so much fertile land lying barren.

Grant disagreed. "Don't worry, my brother. The food stored in Anhurst is enough for Clemens to eat for ten years. Once I repair the city wall, I will restore people's livelihood."

Leo was speechless and could only nod and leave.

This cheap second brother of his had received higher education from top aristocrats, and when he was with the Grand Duke, there was nothing wrong with him.

But when I was on my own and started to put it into practice, I was still a bit frivolous and careless.

Now that you have established your own business and become the Earl of the North, do you still consider yourself the second son of the Odalov family?

What does the granary of Count Odalov have to do with your Count Grant? Why don't you want to quickly restore production and become self-sufficient? Why do you have to wait until the Grand Duke gets angry and cuts off your food supplies?

And now that he has become an earl, he needs to consider not only the town residents of Clemens but also the farmers of tens of thousands of square kilometers outside the city.

In peacetime, farmers can support themselves as long as taxes are reduced and a policy of laissez-faire is adopted.

But the war had just ended and bandits were rampant. Without the intervention of the powerful lord, the entire earldom would only become more and more chaotic.

But when you think about his sister, Queen Laura, the two siblings seem to be similar, which can only be said to be too ideal.

After crossing the territory of Earl Grant and entering the territory of Earl Beowulf, continuous mountains began to appear and the road became increasingly rugged.

Leo had to release Pegasus to scout everywhere to avoid an ambush.

By the time we arrived at Asgar City, more than a month had passed since we set out from the river bend.

The mountains here are even steeper, and even after several months of spring, the snow on the top of the mountains has not melted.

Both the terrain and climate here are no longer suitable for farming. The people in the plains at the foot of the mountain mainly engage in grazing, while the people in the mountains rely on fishing and hunting for a living.

Pegasus knights conducting aerial reconnaissance began to frequently discover traces of wild hunting teams.

These wild hunting teams are not only the subjects of Earl Beowulf's territory, but also the scouts of Beowulf's army.

So Leo asked Bjorn to communicate and asked them to notify Count Hard in Asgard.

Bjorn brought a few wild hunters from the wolf plains to communicate with Leo all the way. He came back and told Leo: "The wild people here are not the wild people of Earl Beowulf's territory, but the original wild people of Earl Beboos' territory. However, they have secretly submitted to the king of the wild people decades ago."

"They are part Basaka, part Lavard, part Bivou, and many other clans."

In the Orlantis Empire, anyone who does not pay taxes within the territory is considered a savage.

After the High King of the North joined the Empire, those tribes that were unwilling to join the Empire were also classified as savages.

The city of Asgar originally belonged to the Beowulf family. The surrounding wild tribes were unwilling to submit to the Beowulf family who ruled the plains. Instead, they were willing to be loyal to the Beowulf family in the northern mountains.

Had Beowulf launched a surprise attack on the city of Asgard on a snowy night, and the surrounding wild tribes also contributed a lot.

Seeing Leo's army arrive, Had came out to greet them personally, showing great joy.

"Leo boy, you are worthy of being the young man favored by the Grand Duke. You are really loyal!"

Leo was also very happy to see Hader. He laughed and said, "That depends on whose place it is. How dare I not come to help when Brother Hader wrote to me?"

Count Hermann also came over and smiled when he heard the words. He was the son-in-law of Hard's deceased brother and always called Hard "uncle" respectfully.

Leo came up and called everyone "brother". He was stuck in the middle and felt like he was a generation shorter than he actually was.

So after Leo and Hader chatted for a few words, Herman interrupted and said hello: "It's Uncle Mondo, I've heard a lot about you."

Leo quickly bowed and said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, my dear nephew."

There were three earls, two of them were not serious and one was pretending to be not serious, but they had a very pleasant conversation with each other.

After setting up camp, Leo took Gwenxia into the lord's castle of Asgar City and met with several legion generals again.

In addition to Had, there is also a high-ranking knight on his side, who is the deputy commander of his Earl's Legion.

Leo had met this man last year. His name was Gunther Gregory, and he was the leader of the adventure group during Had's adventuring career. Although his individual strength was not as good as Had Beowulf, he had strong command ability and great personal charm, so he was able to command Had's wild army of barbarians on his behalf.

In addition to Gunther, Hader's eldest daughter Taran and son Finn were also present. The former inherited Hader's rough style and saw Leo, grinning and looking very familiar.

The latter was a blond boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, hiding behind his sister, looking at the world-famous dragon slayer with curiosity.

The descendants of Beowulf's family have the blood of wild folk and adventurers flowing in their bodies. The heads of the family in all generations have been the kings of the wild folk, and many legendary adventurers have become famous in the empire among the other members.

But the title of dragon slayer is only held by the first ancestor "Beowulf" of the entire Beowulf family.

As for Count Hermann, he was followed by the orc general Tanvar and the troll general Taz.

The current Frelov Legion is composed entirely of alien warriors, including 4,000 orc warriors and 2,000 troll archers. Because they are equipped with iron armor, their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the Earl's Legion of the Northern Human Race.

As for his human army, because it was always difficult to get along with the other races, several flags had a rift with Count Hermann, and now they have all become auxiliary troops, guarding the home and maintaining logistics in the rear.
