Warlord: King of All Clans

After chatting about recent developments and past events from the trip to the capital of Rio, the Duke of the North said, "I have already sent people to track down the whereabouts of the Blood Moon Sect that you wrote to me about. This is a small sect that originated near the Dome River. They sacrifice human lives and practice blood magic. It has a history of a thousand years, but has only risen rapidly in the past fifty years."

Leo nodded and said, "The Blood Moon Cult's headquarters is now in the mountains of Count Kurolov's territory, but there are also many forces in Count Brutus' territory on the south bank of the Dome River. I heard from Count Kurolov's son Locke that Queen Lola's assassination was caused by Count Brutus."

Queen Lola is the daughter of the Grand Duke of the North. Although Grand Duke Mitchell had expected this, he still couldn't help gritting his teeth when he heard it.

There are not many forces in the whole continent that can shoot down the alchemical airship guarded by high-level strongmen and kill twenty flying griffin knights. There are even fewer forces that have conflicts of interest with the royal family.

The Grand Duke of the North also once set his sights on the Kurolov family in the north and the MacDonald and Brutus families in the south, but he could not find any evidence.

"Tullius, he will pay the price sooner or later!"

Leo stayed silent with the Duke of the North for a long time, and then listened to the Duke say: "Compared to the Brutus family far away in the south, the Kurolov family is more troublesome now. They occupy the territories of two earls and have united with the Eastern Army of the Beastmen. Their military strength is already greater than mine, and they will become an independent king sooner or later."

Leo knew more and said, "I'm afraid they didn't form an alliance with the Eastern Army of the Orcs, but used blood magic to enslave the entire Eastern Army of the Orcs."

"Although they have become puppets of the blood mage, their combat effectiveness will decline, but they are more obedient and more fearless of death. An orc army equipped with iron armor and not afraid of death is really difficult to deal with."

"I brought Locke with me to form an alliance this time, and I also want to see how strong they are and whether there is any way to crack them. I just don't know if the Kurolov Legion will bring the Orc Legion with it."

The Duke of the North also felt that it was difficult. "Kurolov's Dragon Knights are also very powerful. Currently, only the Royal Griffin Knights can deal with them. The land army of the North will only get beaten when they meet them."

Leo was at a loss for a moment, "Take your time, there is always a targeted solution."

The Grand Duke of the North had the same mentality. Although he was wary of the military strength of the Kurolov family, he did not have to worry about them launching an attack immediately.

Blood spells, orc legions, and dragon riders are indeed powerful, but he, the Grand Duke of the North, is no pushover.

With the help of Ancestor God's formation, the ninth-level swordsman can exert the combat power of a sword master, and no amount of dragon knights can be enough for him to kill.

Even if we are not sure about field battle, we will always have no problem defending the city.

After chatting for a while, the Grand Duke of the North confirmed that his adopted son could still be saved, and he was no longer willing to waste his time on him.

"In that case, stay at my house for one night, go to Anhurst for a good stroll, and then continue to fight."

"I'm old now, and I can't hold on for many more years. I'll have to rely on you young people in the future."

Leo grabbed Freya and stuffed her into his pocket, filling it with a few snacks, "Then I'll leave first."

In addition to Leo and Freya, Arina also brought Totos, Snell, Asa and others to Anhurst.

When Leo went to pay a visit to the Grand Duke of the North, they hid on an armed merchant ship and secretly watched the crowded dock of Ancestor.

Whether they were people from the Westerlands, elves or trolls, they all became bumpkins when they arrived here.

There are very few magicians in the North, and their status is very noble. Even low-level magicians rarely appear on the streets.

But Ancestor is different. It is the magic center second only to the imperial capital in the South and the birthplace of shamanism in the North.

The only magic school in the North, Anhurst School of Magic, is also located here. From the dock, you can see the wizard towers standing on the foothills on the west side of Anhurst.

Nearly half of the human race's magical extraordinary people in the Northern Territory gathered here.

In the port of Anhurst, some sailors walk on the water, carrying supplies and towing boats. Their boss can afford to hire mid-level shamans to work for them, and can grant them the ability to walk on water every day.

Some low- and mid-level mages cast wind spells at the lighthouse and observation tower on the dock to change the wind direction, calm the waves and help maintain order in the port.

After the great saintly wizard Runadov went north to guard the gate, there was still a high-level shaman in charge on the Ancestral Peak, and the Ancestor Temple of Ancestors below was also presided over by a high-level shaman.

The dean of Ancestor Magic College is also a ninth-level wizard.

There was no need for Leo to worry about such a mighty city, and no one had ever thought of attacking it.

In the evening, Leo took a few people for a walk in Anhurst. Early the next morning, they took a boat back to the Legion and continued downstream.

Before leaving, the Earl's Mansion had received the news and informed Leo that the Grand Duke's second son Grant led a fleet to block the remaining navy of the Beboos family and annihilated them. The naval commander Miles was killed in the battle, and the seriously injured high-level water mage Moses surrendered and submitted to Grant.

Leo no longer had to worry about the enemy's high-level water mages secretly retaliating by sinking his cement barge to the bottom of the water, so he sped up his march.

Two days later, they arrived at Clemens, the second largest port in the middle reaches of the Anzeno River, the capital of Count Beboos.

Grant's naval fleet had already blocked the waters outside the city of Clemens to intercept the reinforcements and supplies of the Beboos family on the water. When they saw Leo leading his troops, they were extremely happy and came over to meet him immediately.

With a full-strength army and a naval fleet in hand, Grant became full of confidence.

To describe it in a derogatory way, it means that I am a little bit drifting.

Looking at Leo's strange cement barge, Grant also made the comments that it was "vulnerable" and "extremely risky", but it was not meant with malice, but rather as a kind reminder.

In the extraordinary world, whether it is the navy or the army, they both need high-level magicians to command, especially the navy. Only large warships combined with high-level magicians can control the battle situation.

A 20-meter-long two-masted merchant ship like Rio, with a large bathtub that is difficult to move behind it, is full of flaws in the eyes of an expert.

Any high-level wizard could secretly overturn the merchant ship in front, and the cement barge behind would just drift with the current and become useless.

Leo could only accept the advice humbly and said that he would build large warships and train high-level magicians when he returned.

Grant looked at Clemens in the distance and told Leo a story. "This Earl's main city has a history of 500 years. It is the place where the legendary dragon fell. The Beboos family made their fortune here and became the overlord of the North in hundreds of years. At its peak, it was even more powerful than our Odalov family."

In the ancient language of the North, Clemos means "Clong City" or "Dragon Harbor". Leo glanced at Strong, who was like a curious baby, and thought that he had to keep this guy away during the war.

Two days later, allied armies arrived from all directions and completely surrounded Clemens.
