Warlord: King of All Clans

The next day, Leo began to take over some of the government affairs of River Bay.

But the part he is responsible for has always been the part with the biggest problems, the part that requires the most brains, and the part that requires the least brains.

He is not required to handle those daily, delicate and complicated matters, or no one trusts him to handle them well.

It was like there were more and more account books, and Olivia would rather take her dog-headed goddaughter to verify them personally than let Leo touch them.

What everyone expects of him is that he can pick up an axe and chop someone's head off at a critical moment, or come up with a clever idea to break the deadlock.

He slept until noon, ate the breakfast brought by the maid, and then slowly walked out.

Outside the stable next door, one hundred and eight green-skinned cubs, driven by the maids, crawled out to bask in the sun, exercising while waiting to be fed.

Just like the kobold cubs, after Leo sent these greenskin cubs back, he no longer cared about their lives.

But the kind-hearted Olivia was able to feed all the cubs. She quickly figured out their diet and living habits, and assigned maids and dogs to feed them.

Every evening when she returned home, she would check on the health of the green cubs, and would even arrange for her own dog son to give military training and literacy enlightenment to the oldest ones.

In fact, she cared more about human cubs. After her extraordinary awakening, Olivia, who possessed the power of holy light and enough wealth, never let any child in the river bay die of illness or starvation again.

But these human cubs have their own parents, are more pampered, more naughty, and difficult to manage centrally.

Nearly two hundred young children from Hewan have enrolled in the classes she has run, but the overall results have not been ideal.

Although the kobold cubs and orc cubs are dumber, they will study without distraction in order to get more food and less punishment.

Except for those orphans who completely rely on the lord's mansion for survival, human children have wider interests. They prefer to follow the River Bay decree announced by Leo and stab the villagers' butts.

The Lord's House is the highest point in River Bay Town, but it is not too high. Standing at the gate, you can get a glimpse of the whole town.

Once you go down the steps and pass through the flower bed in front of the big house, your view will be blocked by densely packed buildings.

The militia house on the left has been upgraded to a small barracks, large enough to accommodate a hundred people for living and resting at the same time.

This place is only fifty meters away from the lord's house. There are at least fifty elite veterans on duty every day, which is enough to deal with most emergencies.

This is just the town’s internal military force. There are also two hundred new recruits on the city wall responsible for standing guard and patrolling.

Once the recruits have adapted to military life and become familiar with military discipline, they will be transferred and begin military training demonstrations and actual combat training.

Opposite the barracks is the newly built Government Affairs Hall, where officials in charge of civil affairs, taxation, and public security all work.

The town is not big, and there are only a dozen officials here, which is equivalent to a street office. The reason why they are close to the lord's house is that if they encounter something that cannot be decided, they can go directly to Uliyang for judgment.

The ground of the entire town is hardened with cement or bricks, and there are flower beds and pools on both sides of the streets, keeping it clean and tidy.

A piece of rag was blown by the wind and rolled on the clean street. Several little dog-headed people immediately jumped out from the corner, chased it out frantically, and started fighting for the rag.

This is the cleaning team of Riverbend. Any garbage and filth are their spoils - including those people who urinate and defecate in the corners.

These are not Olivia's thirty-six dog-children, but new members from the Gnoll Valley who have joined their blacksmith father.

Two hundred meters below the lord’s house is the Ancestral Temple of the River Bay and the Church of Holy Light.

The current ancestral temple is a sacrificial site built entirely of stone. The outside is covered with white marble and is carved with strange or majestic human and animal statues.

Nearly ten ancestral gods have been enshrined inside, all of whom are members of the Hundred Sons of the God of War.

According to Uliyan's decree, as long as there are two hundred official people of the River Bend offerings, the spirits of the ancestors can enter the temple and enjoy worship.

So Feisa also moved his own Gnoll God into the temple. After all, there were more than a thousand dogs who believed in the Gnoll God!

But there is no doubt that it was collectively opposed by the vast majority of the people.

After the statue of the Kobold God was removed, the unwilling Fisa made a smaller one and secretly placed it behind the god of war Tyr, and it was then discovered by the witch who was in charge of cleaning.

Seeing that the two races were conflicting because of racial beliefs, the clever Freya asked Fesha to carve a cartoon image of herself and placed it in a side hall of the ancestral temple together with the dog-headed hulk.

The people of Hewan immediately felt that it was very appropriate. After all, there were many people who worshipped groundhogs. Since groundhogs could be placed in the temple, it didn't seem like a big deal to have another dog-headed man accompany them.

Freya, the elf who walks among the humans in the form of a giant bear, has unknowingly gained nearly a thousand followers.

They would offer their food and beg for shelter wherever Freya appeared.

So now Freya is very busy, eating her own offerings everywhere all day long, and she is exhausted at one point.

The Holy Light Church opposite is very different in style from the Ancestor Temple, but is equally tall and magnificent.

It was built with funds that Brother DeWitt had raised for half a year, and in order to show his welcome, the River Bend Lord only charged him basic costs for building materials and labor.

This was the first building in the Reach to use brick and tile, as well as pigments and tinted glass from the Kobold Hollows.

Because Fraser's various studies lacked the support of systematic theories, they were basically just groping around based on Leo's ideas.

Now with the large number of basic books sent by the little mouse, Fraser's research progress has been greatly accelerated, and colored glass has also begun mass production.

However, the glass here was not as large, smooth and transparent as Leo had hoped, but rather had all sorts of strange and bizarre features.

There are only three main products.

One is the colored broken glass window grilles, which are palm-sized glass fragments, colorful and bright.

Whether it is a temple or a church, this kind of decoration is very popular.

Dexterous craftsmen can stick them on windows to form various complex and inexplicable patterns, which appear dazzling and magical when illuminated by the sunlight.

Therefore, as soon as this product was launched, it was in short supply and its price soared to a level that exceeded that of pig iron ingots.

The caravans from the river bend sold it to churches large and small throughout Isenbol, making a huge profit.

The second type is various glassware. Although the current quality is not as high-end as expensive porcelain, it is better than most pottery.

The third type is the glass staff in Fraser's hand. This is a sacred shaman's staff and a tool to maintain her divine power. Fraser said she would not sell it to anyone.

The windows of the River Bay Holy Light Church are classic stained glass windows.

This was put together personally by Brother DeWitt at a time when he spent a lot of time. Under the sunlight, not only is there overflowing holy light, but there are also vivid images of the Holy Spirit descending and angels blessing.

Not to mention the believers of Holy Light, even the northerners of other faiths could not help but stop when passing by the church.
