Warlord: King of All Clans

Standing together on the wooden steps outside the main door of the big house, Ulyan briefly spoke about Nelson's constructive suggestions.

Leo was so angry that he laughed after only hearing three sentences. Looking at Nelson's departing back, he asked in confusion, "Does this guy have no brains?"

Wu Liyan also felt deeply, "After staying in the city for a long time, I forgot the rules of the wilderness."

The struggles in the city are the intrigues among people and the political intrigues of mutual deception.

The struggle in the wilderness is about who bites the other's throat first, and who splits the other's forehead with an axe first.

Nelson attempted to pull Uliyan into his turf and use his identity, background and social status to crush his opponent.

Unexpectedly, Uliyang didn't buy it at all and solved the problem cleanly and efficiently.

Even the kindest Olivia didn't think there was anything wrong.

When a wolf comes, can we just chase it away?

Of course I would feel at ease only if I killed him with one blow!

Uliyan's kindness is only shown in front of his own people. As an imperial soldier, how could he be a good person?

When he became fierce, even Leo was caught off guard.

It can be seen from his usual style of doing things that if the river bank development fails, Uliyan will not sit back and watch his people starve to death, but will transform himself into a bandit leader and lead his militia to plunder for survival.

The moral standards of the people in the North were far lower than those of modern people. Not to mention when life was difficult, even now Uliyang raised his arms and called on the River Bend infantry and wild hunters to go robbing.

At least 80% of people will readily agree, and 50% will even cheer.

On the contrary, Leo was a little worried and hesitated, "It's still too hasty. If he dies after coming to the river bend, his family will not let it go."

"Then what can I do? I can't just let him go back, can I? Besides, the Lord Sir came to inspect my territory, praised the people's livelihood and law and order in the river bay, and then encountered bandits on the way back to the city. It's reasonable, isn't it?"

"After all, we are close to war and there are many bandits. If you go out at this time, you must be prepared to be attacked."

Having said that, Uliyan himself actually knew that this was just self-consolation.

It is unreasonable to reason with the nobles.

The wrath of the nobles falls upon you, regardless of whether you have made any mistakes.

But such people must be killed, not only will there be endless troubles, but wherever they become lords, they will cause great suffering to the people.

Just consider it as getting rid of harm for the people.

Uliyan watched Nelson's team leave the river bend, then turned around tiredly and sighed, "Last time it was a monk, this time it was a knight, and it's hard to say what will come next time."

"Alas, the days ahead are going to be tough!"

Leo was also gloomy. The threat from the wilderness was like a knife in the open. Everything would be fine if he could block it.

The threats from human society are like hidden arrows and poisonous snakes, which can cause severe damage without warning.

There are some soft knives that you can't even resist, because it would be your fault if you resist.

As the river bend grows, there will only be more and more enemies like this.

In Hewan, where the population of outsiders is increasing, there are often spies who come to spy in the guise of merchants or refugees.

The nearby bandit gangs all wanted to take a bite of this piece of fat meat.

The nearby knight lords were also considering whether to make a deal or extort depending on the situation.

The Holy Light Church and other inexplicable sects also emerged one after another, vying for the monopoly of faith and even demanding the demolition of the village temple.

When planting peaches, it all depends on the efforts of the villagers and the encouragement of their ancestors. When eating peaches, all kinds of monsters and demons come.

Because he was afraid that the young militiamen might be afraid of their noble status and be easily fooled by Nelson along the way, Ulian specially called two trusted veterans and asked them to wear the legion chain mail of armed guards to send Sir Nelson on the road.

Nelson escaped in the lord's house and only came to his senses after being stuffed into a carriage.

"Too barbaric! Too bloody! This is not a frontier territory, this is a bandit den!"

Nelson shouted, "I'll gather the troops when I get back and wipe you out!"

He also thought of the bag of gold coins, which he had forgotten to take with him in his panic.

That's enough money to arm a flag knight.

But it was impossible for Nelson to go back by himself, so he quickly called an armed guard and asked him to go back and ask for it.

The armed guard moved closer, revealing a strange face that Nelson had never seen before.

Nelson was suffocated and said nothing more.

He had no choice but to speak. The old soldier who came over was afraid of an accident, so he reached out and took out his hand axe, and hit him on the forehead with the back of the axe, knocking him unconscious.

Ivan and a group of River Bend infantry happily wore their newly acquired legionary chain mail, rode on their war horses, and escorted the carriage away.

The team even crossed the western watchtower and marched towards Isenpol under the watchful eyes of the sentries.

Five miles after leaving the western watchtower, they were "attacked" and fled in all directions.

Leo returned to the big house and saw Olivia pouring a bag of gold coins onto the wooden table. She was happily counting the newly acquired gold coins, like a little money-grubber.

He grabbed a handful of gold coins in his hand, feeling the heavy coins slipping through his fingers and hitting each other with a crisp sound. He couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, Nelson's offer is not low. I thought he was just trying to get some money, but I didn't expect him to be so bold."

The empire's gold coins are large and round, extremely exquisite, have a high gold content and great purchasing power.

It is certainly impossible to buy a village with fifty gold coins, unless it is a small natural village with dozens or hundreds of people spontaneously formed by refugee camps and savages.

The population of a village that can be called a knight's territory will never be less than three hundred people. Normally, there will be a hundred households, and the population may even exceed one thousand.

In addition to farmland, some knights also had their own logging camps, ranches, hunting grounds and even mines.

A year's output could not only feed a family of knights, but also leave a lot of surplus. The stockpiled supplies were enough to deal with years of disaster or to resist foreign enemies.

But the purchasing power of fifty gold coins is not small. The various material assistance provided by the Petukhov family in the past two months is only worth this amount.

Leo was also fascinated by the dazzling golden Imperial Gold Suler.

Thanks to Sir Nelson for the tip!

Nelson obviously thought so. A small village that had been developed for less than half a year, with no people's support and an unstable foundation, would take another two and a half years to become an official knight's territory.

These two and a half years were enough time for him to carry out many operations, not only economic sanctions and mercenary looting, but also suppression from high-ranking nobles.

If the price paid is high enough, even Ulyanovsky's right to explore can be deprived.

Once Uliyan's right to explore is successfully deprived, the village of Hewan will become an illegal refugee camp or savage tribe.

When the time comes, he can bring his troops to intimidate the villagers a little, and they will only be grateful to him for taking over.

With this calculation, it is obviously the best outcome for Uliyan to take the fifty gold coins and return to Isenpol or other places to retire.

Faced with the hostility of the Square Flag Knight Family and a large bag of gold coins, any smart person would make the right choice.

Unfortunately, these threats were not only not implemented, but even before they could be spoken, they were blocked by Uliyan's brutal response.

This incident also made Leo feel the urgency of improving his strength.

Once there are extraordinary people in Hewan, there will be fewer eyes coveting them.

Seeing that it was getting late, Leo went out and looked around for Freya and the little mouse.

It’s time for dinner! It’s time for meditation!

Where is my charging station?
