Warlord: King of All Clans

The group arrived at Hekou Town and called Ivan and Rambo Rabbit, then crossed the World Tree Avenue and arrived at the Solovy Knight Territory opposite.

In a few months, a gravel road that could accommodate two carriages running side by side was built, connecting the World Tree Avenue and the hot spring villa in the valley behind the village.

The five hundred refugees recruited by the Solovie Knights did not disband, but instead followed the example of the River Bay Lords and opened up another village several miles west of the original village.

There is no fertile land like the Hewan Peninsula here. It is very difficult to convert forest land into arable land, and there is no hope of any harvest within two years.

Woodlands that can grow towering trees always give people the illusion that the land is fertile. In fact, most forests, apart from the humus on the surface, are made of compacted clay and rocks underneath.

This kind of land is not suitable for growing grains in the first two years of reclamation.

But now this problem has been solved. In addition to participating in the construction projects presided over by the lord, these refugees also search for and collect wild antler cassava, send them to Hekou Town in exchange for food, and plant antler cassava in the clearings in the cleared forest.

Plant antler cassava for one or two years and let the antler cassava, which is as strong as bamboo roots, loosen the soil. At the same time, carry out manual tillage and dig channels to divert water.

Within a year or two, the forest land became farmland.

Human beings have very strong ability to survive. As long as there is no external threat and the lord takes care of them a little, they can barely survive.

As long as the refugees are not starving to death, they can take root here and become qualified subjects to support the lord.

It's a pity that the little lord of this world has low personal ability and vision.

Most of the knight lords are even worse than the local bosses who ran family businesses and small factories in the countryside in their previous lives.

Managing a small village of several hundred people without causing any chaos is already the limit of one's personal ability.

They have to fight with neighboring villages for no reason, so there is no way they can expand.

Knight Solovy personally received the guests and led Leo and his group into the hot spring villa.

Most people were visiting the hot spring resort for the first time and were full of curiosity.

Only Ivan and Agata had been here a few times. The former was close to the river mouth town and often cooperated with the militia led by the Solovyvian Knights.

The latter was because she was assisting Olivia in managing the mobilization of materials in Hewan. Olivia couldn't get away, so she had to send her out to be responsible for the connection of materials between Hekou Town and the Solovie Knight Territory.

A maid came up and asked, "Excuse me, are men and women bathing together or in two separate rooms?"

Leo and Ivan's ears perked up, "And bathing together?"

Knight Solovy glanced at the guests' expressions and replied, "Separate."

Following the maid inside, Leo and the others divided into two groups, men and women, entered the locker room, took off their clothes cleanly, grabbed a bath towel, walked through the small door, and entered the large bath inside.

In the Orlantis Empire, almost every major city has a public bath, and the imperial people are also passionate about this project.

Even many famous nobles and emperors had large baths named after themselves.

Moreover, whether it is the Northern Gods or the Holy Light Sect, their doctrines rarely promote asceticism. The atmosphere in the empire is very open, and many public baths are shared by men and women.

Leo proposed to build a hot spring villa. At first he thought he had a great idea, but later he found out that he was really ignorant.

The public baths in Isenbol are more magnificent than the temples and the Church of the Holy Light!

Wealthy aristocratic families also have their own private baths, which can be used not only by their own families but also to receive guests.

This is also the reason why the Petukhov family agreed to build a hot spring villa. The people of the empire already have this demand and sufficient bathing culture to support it.

Moreover, the hot spring bath is more upscale than ordinary hot spring baths. This hot spring villa will definitely attract many VIPs.

The Imperial Public Baths were built of marble, and all sorts of luxurious reliefs by famous craftsmen filled the view. However, the Petukhov family did not have such strong wealth, so they could only excavate ordinary rocks from nearby mountains to build the baths, and the style appeared much more rough.

At the end of the bathing pool, boiling hot spring water is brought in through an underground channel, and the water volume and temperature are controlled by valves.

The two large bathing pools are actually one pool, separated only by a thin wooden wall in the middle, so people can chat with each other while taking a bath.

In this cold season that is about to enter winter, sitting in a steaming hot spring is undoubtedly an extremely wonderful enjoyment.

Everyone was immersed in the pleasure of taking a bath and felt the stress on their bodies quickly disappear.

Except Freya.

Freya was unhappy that everyone couldn't take a bath together, so she teamed up with Fisa to chew a hole in the wooden wall.

The little mouse also wanted to join in, but unfortunately she had poor teeth and was excluded. Moreover, Olivia was very strict and would not let her do anything wrong.

While everyone was chatting, Freya and Fesha quickly gnawed a mouse hole in the corner of the wooden wall.

Feisa tried to stick her head in, but couldn't get through and could only put her nose in.

But this did not pose a problem for the omnipotent Freya. Her body emitted a faint green light and her size shrank rapidly, suddenly turning into a groundhog cub.

She poked her little head in to peek, then pulled back to give the other girls in the bath information, "They're comparing their calves!"

On the other side of the wooden wall, Leo and his friends fooled around for a while, then sat down next to Knight Solovy and said, "The strange woman just now is a member of the Imperial Rose Knights, Noreen Leopold."

Knight Solovy sat up straight and asked with interest, "Rose Knight? Interesting, why did you end up in this ravine?"

"Come and find the princess."

Knight Solovy smiled and said, "I've heard this rumor before, but it's almost unreliable. Even if the princess was alive at the time, how could she survive in the North for two years? Gu... Gu..." She was only ten years old at the time.

At this point, Solovie suddenly came to his senses, and his expression was exactly the same as Denise's at the beginning.

"Princess Gu-Gulveg?"

Leo nodded heavily, "Yes, my little mouse."

The Solovi Knight was so shocked that he suddenly stood up from the water and almost threw the bull into Leo's face.

He had heard of the title of the Third Princess of Hewan a long time ago, but like everyone else, he had always regarded it as a joke.

A kobold, a groundhog, and a street kid all said they were princesses.

Who would take it seriously?

Which parents don’t treat their daughter as a princess?

Knight Solovie usually just shouts to join in the fun.

Now that the Rose Knight had appeared, he started to think in this direction.

He couldn't believe it, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, it's officially certified." Leo nodded, then looked at Knight Solovy with a pleading look: "Uncle, if the little mouse is really taken back, can you help escort it?"

Seeing that Knight Solovy did not move, Leo continued, "The other party said that whoever finds the princess will be granted the title of Viscount and a city. If you help me send the princess home, I will give it all to you."

Knight Solovy smiled bitterly and said, "Whether there is a title or a city reward is a secondary issue. The key point is your request. Can I refuse it?"
