Warlord: King of All Clans

A week later, Tatz's head was placed on Herman's desk.

The process of this troll civil war was unremarkable. Tatz's army, which thought it had iron armor and organization, was thrown into disarray by two shots from elven magic cannons and ambushed by Asa's rifle regiment.

They didn't even see the number of enemies clearly before entering the rout stage.

The elven turrets controlled by Ayr were specifically targeting Tatz, but this troll war general had been eating dragon flesh and blood like crazy during this time. Although he failed to advance to a higher level, his physical fitness was repeatedly strengthened, and he didn't die even after taking two elven cannon shots.

The extraordinary trolls of the Troll Twenty-Four Chieftains collectively mobilized, chasing and killing him for a hundred miles, at the cost of one person's death in battle, before finally beheading him.

After Tatz's remnants were captured, all the leaders were executed, and the rest were incorporated.

If it were a field duel, Asa would have considered reporting to the Riverbend Lord's Mansion and requesting reinforcements to reduce battle losses.

But Tatz dared to attack the neutral Sanctuary, which was simply courting death.

Even a Saint-level expert would praise him for his bravery.

By the time the battle ended, Magna, the garrison commander of Gravelstone Fortress, received Asa's military intelligence report. He listened to the battle report, nodded, and then ignored it.

This enemy situation was minor and did not need to be reported to headquarters!

With the end of this battle, the troll race completely became a vassal of Riverbend, and no powerful tribe in the Direwolf Plains could pose a threat anymore.

Those small tribes scattered in the wilderness, with their backward productivity, couldn't even gather a thousand people. Except for joining Riverbend, they could only continue to be primitive people.

The huge head was placed on Herman's desk, the eyes covered with a layer of white film silently looking at Herman, still showing his unwillingness.

But what Herman saw from this head was only the power of Riverbend.

Seeing Tatz, who had destroyed his years of foundation, being easily wiped out by Riverbend's vassals, Herman completely lost heart and said to his subordinates, "My vassal defected and attacked Riverbend Territory, which is my fault as the overlord. Prepare yourselves, I will personally go to Riverbend to plead guilty."

The first time I went to Riverbend, everyone was evenly matched. When did the gap become irreparable?

He looked at the Northern Territory map and finally made up his mind.

As for Leo, he didn't even receive the news and was still busy in the Imperial City.

With a Sword Saint stationed in the palace, and after the last blood magic assassination incident, which uprooted the opposition forces in the Imperial City, the royal family's control over the Imperial City is now unprecedentedly high.

The most obvious manifestation is that Charles VII is willing to leave the palace.

As an important ally of the royal family, Leo also participated in many grand events. With the hot topics constantly created by the Grand Council and the newspapers, his reputation in the Imperial City continued to increase.

Previously, his reputation in the Southern Territory was like that of the beastmen: it sounded fierce, but the distance was far, there was no threat, and once the heat passed, people would forget about it.

But now it's different. He shows his face in the Imperial City from time to time, and then, combined with his identity and background, there's a lot of hype. People in the Southern Territory are already calling him "Lion of the Wilds" behind his back.

After Leoni appeared in the Grand Council, the nobles of the entire Southern Territory quarreled for another three months before the heat of the undead was gradually calmed down under the efforts of various forces.

Leoni didn't gain nothing. In addition to the increased aid from Riverbend, the Emperor of the Empire also provided material assistance worth 10,000 gold coins.

In addition, enthusiastic people from all over the Imperial City donated money, so Leoni's trip was not in vain.

This money is just a drop in the bucket for the wealthy people of the Southern Territory, but it is a godsend for the poor beastmen.

In three months, a serialized novel was also finished. Dennis racked her brains and couldn't make up anything, so she could only attack the hostile nobles.

A dignified and formal newspaper gradually embarked on the road of sensationalism and gossip.

Leo, on the other hand, followed Virgil to the Imperial City's teleportation square with Gwen, Sia, Freya, and Six.

The Imperial City's teleportation square is even larger than the one in Neutral Sanctuary, but now only one teleportation gate is still open.

This teleportation gate to the Free State of the Archipelago is just a small teleportation gate.

Near the teleportation gate, there are hundreds of guards stationed, setting up layers of checkpoints, and there are strict restrictions on entry and exit.

Even so, it is a major source of income for the royal family. Caravans enter and exit every day, selling high-end goods from both places.

The capital of the Oranthis Empire was moved from the Holy Light City in Orantiri Province to the central part of the Southern Territory five hundred years ago. Now it is not only connected to the Free State of the Archipelago by water and land, but also has an airship route and a teleportation gate to communicate with it, so the connection is very close.

The wealth of the Southern Territory is not only due to high productivity, but also because it is located in the "center of the world", and supplies from all directions converge.

Because the Imperial City has a dense population, Gwen and Sia each held a furry child. At this time, the two little guys were clinging to the Rose Knight and refused to come down.

Six, in Gwen's arms, looked at the teleportation gate with some inexplicable fear, "Are we going in?"

Leo also hesitated slightly before saying, "Let's go!"

The last time he came to the Imperial City, he knew about this teleportation gate, but he didn't dare to go and take a look.

People are always full of fear of unfamiliar things. Leo looked at this teleportation gate and was always worried that once he passed, the teleportation gate would suddenly close, and he would be trapped thousands of miles away. How long would it take to return to Riverbend?

But now that he's used to entering and exiting the teleportation gate, Leo also looks like a city person, knowing that the teleportation gate technology is not that rough. The teleportation gate in the Imperial City has not been closed for hundreds of years.

The noble Earl of Riverbend naturally does not have to pay huge teleportation fees like ordinary passengers. As the group stepped into the teleportation gate, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.

Freya and Six couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah! The sea!"

This side of the teleportation gate is a seaport city leaning against the mountains and the sea. The teleportation square is located in the middle of the seaport city, from where you can overlook the entire seaport.

Countless large and small sea ships are docked at the harbor docks. Looking into the distance, you can also see large fleets bypassing the sheltered harbor behind the bay cliffs.

Whether it is a fleet from the Western Territory or the Northern Territory, if they want to go to the Southern Territory, they will stop here to rest, replenish supplies, and avoid typhoons.

Occasionally, there will be ships from other continents that travel across the Endless Sea to trade here.

A small half of the residents of this seaport are humans, most of them are goblins, and there are also a small number of other alien races living there. Leo even saw a fishman selling fish at a stall.

Virgil, who was walking in front, quickened his pace, showing his good mood to be home.

Fortunately, goblins and kobolds are as short as they are, so everyone can easily keep up.

As he walked, he introduced loudly: "This is the largest city in the Free State of the Archipelago - Askey Port, and also the largest shipbuilding base on the entire continent, the only airship construction base! All alchemical airships are born here."

"I will take you to meet Master Spring, the president of the shipbuilding association here. Well, he is also the shipbuilding master second only to me."

Leo nodded quickly, "Thank you, Master Virgil."
