Warlord: King of All Clans

Hundreds of miles east of the city of Asgar, Count Farbuti Kuroloff, along with his son and direct descendants, stood on the river bank on horseback, watching his legion board the ship to go home.

The entire direct line of military officers was silent.

This group of war fanatics had been fanatically going smoothly for several years, but now they were finally hit hard.

The high-spirited Count Fabti also seemed to have aged a lot.

One of his arms was missing and the wound was wrapped in thick bandages.

With the terrifying recovery ability of an eighth-level strong man, if the severed hand can be picked up and reconnected, it will be restored to its original state in one or two years.

But that damned barbarian Hard took his heavy blow and not only did he lose his arm, he also said he would not give it back no matter what.

As the Earl of the North and a powerful eighth-level warrior, when people fought in the past, they would just stop when it was necessary.

After all, if there are casualties, the third party will definitely be the one that benefits.

But this time both of them were so angry that they attacked without any reservations. If it really came down to an unlimited life-and-death duel, he, a serious earl, was still no match for a wild man like Hard.

Had's title of Legendary Adventurer was earned through fighting, as was his title of King of the Savages. Only the title of Earl was inherited.

Fabuti was thick-skinned enough that he almost knelt down and begged Hader to return his arm, but the latter would never do as he wished.

In order to take this trophy and show off, he carried Fabuti and the high-level extraordinary beastmen all the way back to Asgar City.

Watching the demoralized Kurolov Corps boarding the ship, Count Fabti couldn't help but sigh for the first time, "Alas! After this battle, we don't know when we will be able to cross the river again."

"Locke, quickly arrange for the envoys and prepare for peace talks."

Locke was also hit hard. Hearing this, he pulled himself together and said solemnly, "I will go there in person to minimize the losses."

Count Fabti shook his head and said, "Don't go. Our Kurolov family's reputation has been ruined. The other party can do whatever they want. If you go, you may not be able to come back. Just ask anyone to go."

Soon, the peace envoys of the Kurolov family entered the city of Asgar.

The war officially entered the negotiation stage.

As for counterattack, it is impossible. The naval fleet of the Kurolov family is equally powerful. As long as the Grand Duke of the North does not take action personally, the barbarians led by Earl Beowulf will not be able to cross the Anzeno River.

As for continuing to let Leo take action, no one wants to take on this favor.

But after this defeat, the Kurolov family had no chance of keeping the Hexi land they occupied. Not only did they have to return all the territory of Asgar City they had occupied, but they also had no chance of keeping the Tiamous region that they had originally divided up.

Taking advantage of the defeat of the Kurolov Legion, Knight Gunther launched a series of heavy attacks and captured the branch city of Tiamous by exchanging them, causing the Kurolov family to lose its foothold in Hexi.

The Tiamus region is located to the east of the city of Asgar, on the west bank of the Anzeno River, adjacent to the northern main city of Oleynik.

Although the latitude here is too high and agriculture is underdeveloped, it has extremely good grasslands and is the horse breeding ground of the Beboos family. Its strategic value is amazing.

The territory is nearly 30,000 square kilometers, 80% of which is pasture for raising horses, which made Leo particularly excited.

As intermediaries for the peace talks, Earl Grant and Knight Barro also came to Asgar City.

Earl Hard, who was bedridden, attended the meeting despite his illness.

After he returned with Count Fabti's arm, he himself collapsed from exhaustion. He rested for half a month and looked ten years older.

After all, Had was nearly sixty years old, not as young and strong as Godwin. New injuries and old illnesses broke out at the same time, and he almost fell in rank.

According to Leo's judgment, even if Hadd recovered from his injuries, he would no longer be as brave as he used to be. He could only fight ordinary level seven warriors and it would be difficult for him to fight against level eight warriors.

Looking at the map of the northern border, Had suddenly said, "We were able to defend Asgard thanks to Leo's River Bend Legion. Now that I have the plain below the mountain, I can return to the mountain to report. As for the Tiamous ceded by Kurolov, let Leo give it to him."

When he said this, everyone in the room was shocked. His eldest daughter, Taran, stood up first, but opened her mouth and sat down again in silence.

This is indeed Hader's style. Taking advantage of the younger generation is more painful than killing him, so it is better not to do it.

Leo was tempted, but after looking at the map for a long time, he finally chose to refuse. "This place is too far from the river bend. It's cold and poor. I don't want to come here at all. Ancestor is a thousand miles away from the river bend. The Grand Duke even dislikes me for not visiting him. The distance here is more than double. If I hadn't come to help Brother Hard, I would never have wanted to come here in my life."

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads secretly.

This is a branch city, and only the current Earl of the Northern Territory, who has a large family and wealth, can own several of them.

Hundreds of years ago, if one had a city with tens of thousands of people and a jurisdiction over a population of 100,000, he would already be a genuine earl.

Leo had just occupied Isenbol and was only at this level, but the Grand Duke of the North appointed him as the Earl of the North, and no one in the North objected, because he had already crossed the threshold of the Earl just by virtue of his population and territory.

Among the seven earls in the North, only Leo does not have a chief city. Even the Earldom of Grant, which has the smallest area, has the blessing of Clemens.

Rio is not in a hurry to expand, and even wants to live in peace in a corner.

Before this, everyone had heard the Grand Duke of the North complain that his adopted son was not capable of success, and now it seemed that there was some truth to his claim.

Earl Grant felt bad and tried to cover up for Leo. "This place is indeed too far from the river bend. We have to divide our troops into two places and provide insufficient support. We also need to face the covetous Kurolov. Leo is really not interested in this. Why not let me do it for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Hader laughed and said, "Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later."

Earl Hard and Grant were not familiar with each other, and their personalities did not match, so of course it was impossible for him to hand over the city.

In addition to the land, there were also a large amount of spoils. Since Leo didn't want the land, most of the spoils belonged to him.

Moreover, as the person being supported, Had had to express his willingness to pay for the food and fodder bills for Hewan during this period.

When the meeting was over, Gunther from Beowulf's family continued to lead people to negotiate with the Kurolov family. Hermann had some free time and chatted with Leo.

"Gunther is indeed a rare and famous general. He is good at governing a country and leading an army. Without him, the Beowulf family would not have survived until you can lead your troops here."

Leo also admired Gunther Gregory very much and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you and I, neither of us have such a general, so our foundation is still weak."

Hermann was also depressed. During the period when the Orcs moved south, the entire main army of the Earl, high-level extraordinary people, generals and advisers were all lost in Varanger, so the family could only rely on alien races to provide combat power.

If we were to say who has the greatest hatred for foreigners in the entire North, it would be Hermann.

Of course, he could follow the advice of several of his bannermen and expel all the foreigners from the country to avenge his father.

But the result was endless battles with foreign races, and then being easily annexed by neighbors after a few years.

It can only be said that every family has its own problems. Once you become the head of an earl family, everyone will be under a lot of pressure.
