Warlord: King of All Clans

Seeing Olivia with her big belly, Leo's eyes suddenly became warm. He walked forward quickly and wanted to touch Olivia's belly.

Before his hand touched Olivia, a small mouse head popped out from her collar and started biting her.

If Leo hadn't retracted his hand quickly, he would have been bitten by her.

After forcing Leo's dirty hands back, Freya stretched out her two front paws, quickly waving them to stop Leo from getting closer, "Go away! Go away! This is my cub!"

Leo was angry, "This is my cub!"

He flipped his wrist deftly, grabbed the back of Freya's neck, and pulled her out of Olivia's arms.

Freya Rat was in the air, growing with the wind, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a human form, using its head to butt Leo.

Leo didn't give in at all, and the two of them started wrestling with each other head to head.

Olivia watched them quarrel for a while before she reached out and slapped each of them, scolding them with a smile, "You're already a father, but you're so dishonest!"

The other members of the big house also gathered around Olivia, looking at Leo with admiration.

Leo then opened his arms and announced loudly, "I'm back! I'm back with a great victory!"

"Great!" A group of friends immediately cheered and surrounded Leo to celebrate.

When it was late at night and everyone went to bed, Olivia lay on the lord's bed, unbuttoned her pajamas, and showed Leo her belly.

The North places great importance on bloodlines and offspring. The most glorious time for a woman is when she is about to give birth. At this time, the world is huge, and the pregnant woman is the biggest.

Leo and Freya lay on either side of Olivia, with their chins propped up and looking at her round belly.

Both of them possessed high-level extraordinary strength and could clearly feel the life breath of the fetus in Olivia's belly.

Olivia stroked Leo's blond hair with one hand and Freya's green hair with the other, and whispered to her husband, "The shaman at the ancestral temple said it's a boy."

The ancestral shamans have a unique heritage that allows them to sense the gender of the fetus in the womb, and these two months have clearly indicated that it is a boy.

Leo always felt that he was still a big naughty boy. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little nervous when he saw Olivia's big belly.

"I'm going to be a father now? I haven't even thought of a name for him."

Olivia said, "Dad told me before that he hopes his grandson will be named Balder, but you have the final say."

"Badr?"

In the ancient language of the North, Balder means "blooming flower", which is derived from the meaning of new life and light.

Leo thought, "Since it was named by Uruguay, why not call him Bader, Bader Leo Lavard?"

Leo jokingly called himself a son-in-law of Hewan, but in fact their marriage was carried out in a normal way, and Uliyang never asked his son-in-law to change his surname.

Anyway, our ancestral surname is Lavard.

Freya was listening to the couple's whispers and sighed, "That's great, Leo. The three of us finally have a child."

"I have to work hard too. We can't let our kids go hungry!"

Olivia: “???”

Leo: “???”

No, where does this strong sense of participation come from?

In the following time, Leo did not go anywhere and stayed at home to accompany his wife.

Women in the North are extremely strong. Many pregnant civilian women who are about to give birth still follow their husbands to dig for food in the fields, herd sheep and feed horses, and work without any hesitation.

But Leo is a modern man after all, and he would not think that new mothers have invincible psychological qualities just because they appear to be strong.

It was just ignored!

During Olivia's pregnancy, she also felt anxious, depressed, and weak, but Leo was not around.

It can even be said that one's life or death is uncertain while fighting outside.

Fortunately, there are a lot of friends in the Riverbend House, Freya, Fisa, Seti, and Savinting, all of whom treat Olivia as their closest relative. Elodie and others also serve her all the time.

But Leo's safe return and staying with her was Olivia's greatest reassurance.

During this period, Strong led the River Bend Legion back one after another, disbanded the legion, and returned to the barracks in each town.

Romon is stationed in the city of Weidanlan, and Solovy is stationed in the city of Xingtao, serving as the city lords.

The River Bay House sent administrative officers to assist them in restoring people's livelihood and developing infrastructure.

In addition, Rigolav was stationed in the city of Abros, and the Petukhov family had three city lords. Their fame spread throughout the northern border for a while, and attracted many people's attention.

The autumn harvest in the Earldom of River Bay is also coming to an end, and a large amount of grain has been stored in the warehouse.

With the help of water conservancy facilities, farming techniques, iron farm tools, breeding and fertilizers, the entire Isenbol territory not only expanded its cultivated land area by 30%, but also increased its per-acre yield by 30%.

In most farmlands, the yield per acre exceeded 1,000 pounds, and many fertile plots even reached 1,500 pounds.

The newly reclaimed wasteland, sandy land and sloping land where grains could not be grown were now full of cassava and potatoes, enough to provide staple food for civilian families for nearly half a year.

Compared with the situation in previous years of half farming and half animal husbandry, the need to leave land fallow, and the yield per mu being no more than a thousand pounds, this is truly an epoch-making change.

The overall infrastructure construction in the Arbroath area has not yet been completed, but the land here is flatter and more fertile, and the autumn harvest is quite bountiful.

But compared to the Earldom of Gustav south of the Buck Mountains, the two cities in the north are still inferior.

In Isembor and Arbroath, only barley, rye and spring wheat can guarantee output. Winter wheat has a long growing period and has to survive the cold winter. If the climate is slightly bad, the yield will be reduced or even completely lost.

The terrain and climate here in Count Gustav's territory are better than those on the north bank of the Anzeno River. With the protection of the Borok Mountains and the Bak Mountains, the power of the cold wave is halved, so winter wheat can be planted with confidence.

The Earldom of Gustav has experienced several years of war, continuous bloodshed, and population decline, but even now, the population density is no lower than that north of the Anzeno River!

Take the city of Wedanlan, south of Abros, for example. The area of ​​its entire jurisdiction is smaller than that of Abros, but it has twice as much arable land and a higher yield per mu.

After years of war, conscription, and famine, there were abandoned villages everywhere, but the remaining population was still no less than that of the territory of Arbroath.

The south bank of the Anzeno River was originally the breeding ground for the northern people, and it entered agricultural civilization seven hundred years ago.

But the north bank of the Anzeno River was the territory snatched from the orcs. After driving the orcs away, the wild tribes and savages continued to fight the empire for hundreds of years, so that until now, most of the land has not been developed.

The autumn harvest of both Weidanlan City and Xingtao City this year benefited the Earldom of River Bay. A large amount of grain was collected and used by the River Bay Lord's Mansion for work-for-relief and to recruit civilians to carry out infrastructure construction.

When the river bend entered a period of calm, in the distant southern imperial capital, the princess of the empire also celebrated her sixteenth birthday.
