Warlord: King of All Clans

Being held hostage by the barbarians, Leo quickly broke free and said repeatedly: "I am not a barbarian, why should I be the king of the barbarians? Aren't you too careless?"

A Wild Hunting King shouted, "You are a descendant of the Lavard people and also the leader of the Wild Clan. Now that you have defeated all the Wild Clan leaders, you are the well-deserved Wild Clan King."

The barbarian leaders outside nodded one after another. In the past two months, the powerful barbarians led by Earl Beowulf came to Kitland from all directions to challenge Rio Mundo.

Not only did Leo defeat all the middle and high-level savage leaders, he also released the terrifying invincible black dragon as a demonstration.

In their view, isn't this just a fight for the power of the king of the wild people?

Weir was also mixed in the crowd. She was a Basaka from the Wolf-Driving Plains. She also had tribesmen here, but they had lost contact with her for hundreds of years.

But the culture is still passed down from generation to generation, and it is easy to get familiar with each other by just talking about the past.

Seeing this, Weier was so amused that she hid in the crowd and started to make a noise, "If you don't want to be the king of the barbarians, why are you stepping forward? Tell Earl Hard to come out!"

Leo was immediately stumped by her question. Earl Hard was seriously injured and could only walk now. If he dueled with someone, even if he won, he would probably not live for many years.

But he came to help Brother Hard to stabilize the situation, not to take advantage of the situation. He just shook his head and refused firmly, "Lord Hard is still here. Have you considered his feelings by doing this?"

The leaders of the wild people finally calmed down a little. Although the traditions of the wild people were wild, the help and kindness that Had had given to them over the years were real.

After Leo said this, everyone felt that it seemed a bit unkind.

When the riot happened at the main entrance of the Earl's Mansion, Earl Hard stood on a high place, watching the farce below with a malicious smile.

He planned this farce without telling Leo.

His son Finn beside him was a little unhappy and asked: "Father, by doing this, you have pushed the clan leaders to Leo's side. What should we do in the future?"

Count Hard glared at him and said, "What should we do? If you have the ability, take it back. If you don't, then learn from Leo and learn how to be a ruler."

"With our abilities, it's already a stretch for us to be city lords. If we manage such a big mess, in less than ten years, the Beowulf Earldom will either be annexed by the Kurolof family in the east or destroyed by the orcs in the north."

Finn was scolded and became even more unhappy, but after changing his mind, he felt the pressure on him suddenly relieved a little and smiled again, "Then can I go to Riverbend to ride a dragon?"

Hader knew that his heir was not very good, but when he heard Finn say that, he still hated him for not fighting for it, and glared at him and shouted, "Ride the dragon, ride the dragon! Have you finished reading today's books? Have you finished practicing swords?"

After sending his son away, Hader continued to watch the show, but a trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes.

He is not like other northern barbarian leaders who spend their entire lives hiding in the mountains of the north.

When Had was young, he traveled around the continent as an adventurer. He had been to every earldom in the North, as well as the South, the West, the Free State of the Islands, and even to the kingdoms of the Lizardmen and Dwarves. He had seen more of the world than most people in the Empire.

The other earldoms in the North were already at the peak of their feudal lordship system, and their military strength was much stronger than their backward chieftainship system.

Not to mention the southern border, because of the improvement in productivity, it has returned to the imperial standing army system of five hundred years ago. Every earl in the southern border has an established standing army, with craftsmen, tactics, armor, and extraordinary people, all of which crush the northern border.

In addition, many cities in the southern border have professional mercenary groups that fight specifically for the lords. As long as they are paid enough, their combat effectiveness is no weaker than that of the regular army.

The barbarians under Earl Beowulf's rule were still the same as they had been hundreds of years ago. They would rush forward during a war and scatter in a hurry after the battle.

Such a system is far behind the times. In the past, people could rely on pure personal bravery to resist invasion, but now there is a huge gap between them and the outside world.

After a battle with the Kurolov Legion, tens of thousands of elite Wildman hunters were easily defeated by the Kurolov family's 6,000 heavily armored musket phalanx. Had knew that the era of the Wildman was completely over, and he had to find a way out for the Wildman clan and his own family.

At this time, the advantages of having many friends and a wide range of connections are reflected.

If he doesn't have the ability, then just leave it to the capable Leo.

This is how the last victim, Gunther Gregory, got on the pirate ship.

A leader of an insignificant adventure group managed to become the military commander of the Earldom of Beowulf, and together with his friends like Had, he maintained this mess for more than ten years.

In the living room of the Earl's Mansion, Hader sat down with several juniors and told everyone the history of Beowulf's family.

"The Earl of our Beowulf family has been the King of the Wild Folk for three hundred years, but at the beginning, the title of King of the Wild Folk was not exclusive to the Beowulf family."

"The so-called King of the Wild Folk was actually the High King of the North who was re-elected by the other northern clans who were unwilling to submit after the High King of the North joined the Orlantis Empire seven hundred years ago."

"However, the barbarians were unable to resist the armor and heavy suits of armor of the empire, and were gradually dispersed and driven into the mountains and forests."

"Our Beowulf family is a branch of Lady Beowulf. Our ancestor Beowulf won the title of King of the Wild Folk with his own powerful strength."

"But our ancestors did not want to see the wild clans continue to be slaughtered and expelled by the imperial people, so they chose to be loyal to the Duke of the North and obtained a legal territory. This is the origin of the Earldom of Beowulf."

"When the Beowulf family was strong, the Earl was the true king of the barbarians. Not only did the barbarians in the Earldom of Beowulf submit to him, but the barbarians in the surrounding Earls also came to Kitland to pay homage."

"When the Beowulf family was weak, the Earl was a puppet put forward by the Wild Clan, using the legal principles recognized by the Empire to prevent the invasion of other northern earls."

“Now, it’s time to make the split.”

Hader looked at Leo and said, "I am old and weak, and there are few visionary leaders among the wild people. You are a descendant of the Lavard people, and it is your responsibility to lead everyone to continue to survive."

"If you are willing to become the king of the wild folk, our Beowulf family will also be loyal to you."

Leo was helpless and spread his hands, saying, "But my territory is in the river bend. It's too far away for me to manage it. And I know what the barbarians are thinking. They just want me to lead them to fight. Do I have to give up my own territory and lead them to burn, kill and rob everywhere?"

Had also knew the nature of the barbarians, and comforted them: "Not all barbarians want to burn, kill and plunder. As long as they can fill their stomachs, why would they run out and fight for their lives? You have great magical powers, as long as you can keep the barbarians alive, that's enough."

Leo thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Now is not the time."
