Warlord: King of All Clans

But if you think about it carefully, this is the right way. If the power of fireball is weaker than that of arrow, then there is no need for it to appear!

The wizard's terror was fully revealed. Under Leo's strenuous cover, Denise was like a mobile turret. On average, she could condense a fireball every five seconds and throw it out, which could injure and ignite a warg.

In just one minute, the area around Leo and Denise was empty, and the wolves fled away, preferring to cross the river to attack the berserker Buffett, or to bite Hawkins's metal cans, rather than to provoke Denise.

As for Old Pete, he had been hiding behind Leo and Denise, playing a game of chicken with the warg, directing Denise and reminding other companions.

Three more wolf corpses were left behind. Suddenly, a horn was heard in the distance. All the wolves left their opponents and fled in the direction of the horn.

Of the eleven wolves, six died and five escaped.

Except for one that was killed by Ranger Lynch's aimed shot, and one that was killed by Fisher's sneak attack, the other four were beheaded by Barrett.

The vitality of the wargs is extremely strong. Denise's fireball, Fisher's dagger and crossbow, Hawkins' shield attack and armed sword, and Lynch's rain of arrows can only cause serious damage to them.

Weaken their combat power and restrict their movement, but cannot be killed immediately.

Fisher's first sneak attack was successful. Two one-foot-long daggers pierced deeply into the wolf's neck. The wolf, which was fatally injured, fought with the adventure group for several minutes and fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Only Barrett's executioner's axe could end the wolf's attack by chopping off its head with one blow.

Watching the wolf retreat, Old Pete held the frying pan - the soup in it was not spilled at all. He sighed and said: "Fortunately, I commanded well and dispatched effectively, so I was able to repel the wolf. I am worthy of being an experienced adventurer."

Leo rubbed his sore arm, with a completely shattered round shield under his feet. He looked at the smug old Pete, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was a hidden talent or just had good luck.

After all, adventurers over fifty are either masters or auspicious signs!

However, Hawkins and Barrett looked at the direction where the wolf fled with serious expressions.

Denise also stepped forward and said, "The horn that sounded just now was obviously the beastman's wolf-taming horn. Could it be that these wolves were secretly tamed by the beastman here?"

"It may also be brought from the northern snowfields. The wolves in the Wolf Driving Plains have been free for hundreds of years and should not be so well-trained."

"Legend has it that after the atrium was sealed, the orcs ruled here for a hundred years and left behind many ruins. Many places are still war fortresses. The orcs may want to restart this place and take the initiative."

Leo listened to their conversation and couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't we inform the military of this news?"

Harkins smiled and said, "My child, the one who is in charge of the North now is the legendary Grand Lord, the high-ranking Grand Knight, the Grand Duke of the North, and the Grand Duke Michael Odalov, who is known as the Sword Master of the Human Race. He is the greatest and most powerful lord besides the first Grand Duke of the North. In front of him, mere orcs are not worth mentioning."

"These orcs are just a group of bandits who couldn't survive in the Far North and took the opportunity to move south."

"We just need to worry about our own affairs. If it is indeed the orc clan that has arrived here, the rest of the journey will probably be very dangerous."

Leo remained silent. What Hawkins said was almost the mainstream perception of the southern nobles. Almost no one thought that the orc invasion was a big problem.

Leo even heard from Knight Roman and Urian that many southerners simply did not believe the news of the orc invasion was true. Otherwise, why didn't they invade two hundred years ago, or a hundred years ago, but chose to invade now when the three regions of the empire were in turmoil and the princes were fighting for hegemony?

It is clear that they are using this excuse to demand military funds from the Western and Southern territories!

The garrison of Fengshen Fortress originally belonged to the Empire's regular army and was directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family. But now, in Fengshen Fortress, from soldiers to generals, there is almost no one from the Southern Territory.

They are all northern barbarians!

The Empire had no way of commanding this army, which was called the Imperial Regular Army but was actually the private army of the Grand Duke of the North.

However, large sums of military pay still need to be allocated every year.

Of course, if you say that the people in the southern border are unwilling to garrison the border in the bitter cold land along the North Glacier, they will definitely not agree.

Therefore, it is very reasonable that the Empire's continuous reduction of its standing army has led to gaps in the defense line of the North Glacier, allowing a few orc clans to slip through.

The smart Denise naturally saw the reason for Leo's silence. She comforted him softly, "Don't worry. It's difficult to march in the Wolf-Driving Plains. Even if the orcs invade here, they will only be some small clans. They can only invade some small villages and it is impossible for them to influence the war situation..."

As a student at the Imperial Capital Academy, Denise was better informed than the average person. After all, students and mentors alike loved to talk, plan, and express their opinions on the chessboard of war.

Compared with the Empire's Three Realms Battle, the Orc Invasion can only be considered a minor topic of conversation.

Even Denise knew a well-known common sense: as long as the two important military towns, Aeolus Fortress in the upper reaches of the Arctic Ice River and Olenik in the lower reaches of Storm Bay, did not fall, the orc invasion would be just a minor matter.

But the person she was comforting was Leo, not the noble son who could retreat to the south at any time.

Leo retorted speechlessly: "I am worried about the war situation, I am worried about the small village you mentioned!"

Denise was speechless for a long while before she said awkwardly, "I'm sorry..."

On the war chessboard of the nobles, towns like Isenbol are just small pawns, and no one really cares about the life and death of a small village like River Bay.

After a night that made Denise feel guilty, Leo returned to his previous state.

He still praised Old Pete with a grin on his face, and consulted Huggins and Barrett about the information about the extraordinary people, as if nothing had happened.

Only at this time did he realize that extraordinary people were also divided into classes.

The transcendents who have just awakened are called entry-level transcendents, or the so-called initial-stage transcendents.

All members of the adventure group are at this level. If divided according to the strength of the third stage and nine levels, Barrett is an entry-level senior warrior, the others are at the entry-level intermediate level, and Denise is a newly awakened entry-level primary transcendent.

Grand Duke Michael Odalov is a so-called high-level ninth-level strongman, one of the few strong men in the human race, and is second only to the saint level.

Leo counted on his fingers: "Elementary, intermediate, advanced, holy, demigod, true god, six levels? Eighteen levels in total? Only intermediate and advanced levels can awaken innate combat skills? In simple terms, how big is level six?"
