Warlord: King of All Clans

Knight Harkins immediately stepped forward, took off his knight kite shield from his back, drew out his knight armed sword, and prepared for battle.

There were only twenty or so kobolds in front of him, but they were much taller and stronger than those he had seen in his adventure career. They were lined up in neat rows, and many of them even held crossbows in their hands.

These dog-headed men have wild-shaped cockscombs, wear animal-tooth collars, and small leather skirts around their lower bodies.

The front half of the kobolds held a small round shield with a diameter of one and a half feet in one hand and a short spear in the other. They also had three or four short spears on their backs, which could obviously be used for both throwing and close combat.

The kobold hiding behind carried a small round shield on his back and held a crossbow, ready to aim and shoot at any time.

Such a group of ogres might pose a threat to ordinary adventurers, but they could not break Hawkins' defense.

However, according to Hawkins' experience, such a well-trained alien force is definitely not something that a small wilderness tribe can cultivate.

There must be more of their kind behind them. Once they get entangled, they will have to face the gnolls all over the mountains.

Extraordinary people will also get tired. Endless battles will prevent them from resting and recovering, and they will eventually have to retreat from the wilderness in disgrace.

We have only been in the wilderness for half a day!

While Denise was preparing for battle, she looked at Leo with a blaming look, obviously blaming him for not informing her of the information about the large kobold tribe nearby in time.

Leo: "Woof!"

The ogre on the opposite side suddenly became agitated, put down his round shield, and barked at Leo, cursing him fiercely.

Leo put his hand on the hilt of the sword and took a step forward.

The dog-headed man immediately huddled back into a ball, looking at each other, then ran away whimpering.

Leo's notoriety for biting the kobold leader to death has not diminished but increased over the past two months. He has been sung by the kobolds who experienced that battle as the world-destroying devil.

If you dare to bark at him, you are already a very brave warrior!

Denise was stunned, watching the kobolds rush in and out in less than a minute. She couldn't help but whisper to Leo, "Leo, Mondo... Sir, do you know the language of the kobolds?"

Leo nodded modestly and said, "A little bit."

"What about just now?"

"That just meant to tell them to get lost."

Denise, in a learning mentality, tentatively imitated the sound, "Woof?"

"No, you're trying to court me. The Kobolds will get angry if they hear that. They don't like human women."

Denise's face immediately turned red and she quietly hid aside.

Old Pete and Barrett were laughing so hard that they were choking, and they began to find this young man very funny.

Ever since the abandoned tower was occupied by ogres, the kobold hunting team has been reluctant to enter the ogre's territory.

Part of the hunting team crossed the river to the east and went to the pine forest on the other side of the river to hunt squirrels, hares, foxes, and dig up the antler cassava that was everywhere.

This pine forest was originally the hunting territory of the Wild Boar Tribe. After the Wild Boar retreated, it became a logging site for the River Bend by default.

Wildfolk hunters are more accustomed to moving in the mountains behind the magnificent barrier, and are reluctant to set foot on the plains unless they feel threatened.

As for the attitude of the sentinels of the river bend towards this group of gnolls, they treat them as their own free-range dogs - the kind that can mine, so generally they turn a blind eye and do not expel them.

Unlike the naive Denise, Old Pete and the others easily guessed that the River Bend Leader and the Kobold Tribe had close contacts, or at least were not hostile, based on the kobold cubs and kobold blacksmiths they had seen in the River Bend before.

The young guide in front of him also has a high say in the Gnoll tribe.

This shows that he is a genuine local native, and a very prestigious one.

The rest of the journey was back to an outing. Leo led the adventure group and walked at the junction between the Wolf-Driving Plain and the foothills of the mountains.

From the River Bend to the gravel hills where the boarmen tribe is located, Leo has surveyed these thousands of square kilometers countless times. It is simply his own backyard.

The route that Leo has chosen now is easier to walk than the pine forest in the Wolf-Driving Plain.

Although Qulangyuan is a large plain as a whole, it also contains countless small mountains and hilly areas.

Covered with thousand-year-old trees, they are dark and mysterious, home to wild animal communities and filled with gullies, swamps, pools and earth slopes.

On the contrary, at the foot of the mountains, there are a large number of flat river beaches, grasslands and sparse forests.

Moreover, the field of vision is relatively wide, so you can correct the route at any time and avoid the canyons in advance, and you don’t have to worry about getting lost.

After walking for a whole day, we didn't encounter a place where the team needed to stop.

In the evening, Leo led the adventure group to the valley where they met Bjorn last time and hunted the boar hunting team together.

This place used to be the garrison of the boar hunting team, and was later occupied by wild folk hunters. It is an excellent shelter.

The valley not only has a ready-made campfire site and clear mountain springs, but also a dry cave for taking shelter or storing supplies.

Denise had been walking all day and was already exhausted. She took out a blanket, spread it on the ground, and sat on it, rubbing her sore calves as she found it difficult to get up.

Old Pete and Barrett were busy unloading supplies, setting up tents, and preparing a campfire dinner.

Leo and Ranger Lynch climbed to the commanding heights of the valley one after another and overlooked the surrounding terrain.

Ranger Lin Qi looked around with sharp eyes, and suddenly his gaze focused. He raised the green longbow in his hand, and a steel arrow appeared on it.

Leo put his thumb and index finger into his mouth and blew hard.

A whistle was heard, and a whistle was answered from deep in the forest more than three hundred meters away.

Three or four whistles were heard in the surrounding woods, from far and near, and then silence returned.

Lin Qi stared at the place where the whistle came from and asked coldly: "Who is that?"

"A wild hunter." Leo explained, "Don't worry, we are one of them."

After coming down the hill and returning to the camp, it was obvious that everyone had heard the noise. Like Fisher and Lynch, there was a hint of wariness in the way they looked at Leo.

It was not the first time they had heard of a native guide leading a small adventure group into a bandit's lair and robbing them clean, and they suspected that Leo wanted to do the same.

On the other hand, Old Pete, Barrett, Hudgens and Denise didn't seem to care at all.

The first three were all experienced adventurers who had seen all kinds of scenes. If they were really led to the bandit's lair by the guide, it would only mean fighting one more fight and making more money.

As for Denise, she didn't think about all this at all. She was still looking at the valley where she lived with great interest, brewing the words she wanted to write about in her adventure diary.
