In Riverrun, after the war mobilization order issued by the city hall, the normal commodity trade gradually dried up, and most of the manpower and material resources were turned to military manufacturing, opening a rough wartime system. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The intelligence broker who stayed in the outer city in the name of a merchant was caught by the patrol team after spying on the relevant situation, and the uprooted radish brought mud, and nearly fifty people with the same identity were arrested, including many of the underworld and the nobles.

The lords of Riverrun City also saw the extraordinary strength of the "Lord Rez", and anyone who dared to resist, no matter how deep the identity of the supporter behind it, would be severely injured or even killed in the blink of an eye, regardless of their reputation as a "legendary mage".

Those who are frightened by this high-pressure policy are not only spies from outside, but also opponents within Riverrun.

Fortunately, the half-elves and dwarves have been subjected to suffering from enslavement, and they have no opinion on what to do with those who endanger the "land of the free".

Therefore, most of the dissidents are from the command of the "Archon" Oric Tyrese, and the most of them are knights who insist on "justice" and step into the transcendent rank.

For these pedantic people who were subtly influenced by the teachings of the god of justice, Tyr, and demanded a "fair" trial instead of lynching, Lu Bin, after obtaining the approval of Oric Tyrese, invited them to the "Slave Grievance Conference", so that these self-proclaimed righteous people could listen to the blood complaints of the half-elves, mountain dwarves, and humans who had been enslaved.

"I expected you to turn a blind eye to the evil of slavery, but to have pity for the slave owner's accomplices!

Swept by Lu Bin's gaze, the righteous knights turned their heads one after another, and they couldn't hide from it, so they lowered their heads, not daring to look at the "Lord Rez" who showed the truth.

One of the knights who insisted on justice couldn't hide from it, so he retorted and asked: "Your Excellency, the capture of certain people should follow the established laws, and not act recklessly!"

Lu Bin pointed the thumb of his right hand at himself: "In this new pioneer territory, in this emerging and rising Rushing City, as a lord, I am the main maker and drafter of the law, based on the written law common in the north, and the abolition decree is the only difference, in this free land, do you choose to stand on the camp of slave owners or on the camp of free people?"

The knights of the "Justice" looked very embarrassed, after all, most of the people around them were former slaves who participated in the "grievance meeting".

Lu Bin already knew the answer, and continued to attack with the same face: "By the way, I almost forgot that you were born in the estate of the Tyrese family, and there must be slaves in the knight's territory, which means that you are all slave owners." With interests at stake, it's no wonder that there is pity for these accomplices. It's so strange that having such an idea has no conflict with your beliefs, and your extraordinary strength is bought with money?"

The knights of "Justice" were thrown into confusion, and some of them tried to argue, but "Lord Rez" blocked all the way out.

Whether it is the law, morality, the standards of good and evil, or the conscience in his heart, Lu Bin, who stands on the moral high ground, is looking down on these "righteous" knights who stay in the moral depression.

In the end, it was the druid master who stood up and eased the tense atmosphere of the scene from the perspective of goodwill: "Your Excellency, don't be too harsh on these fledglings who drill through their hard shells and poke their heads out to appreciate the cruel and unforgiving reality. ”

Legolas Deerhelm then addressed the knights of "justice" present: "The road to justice is not only long and winding, but also full of thorns and traps, and those who are willing to embark on this path must remember the direction of progress, know the strategy of moving forward in a roundabout way, and even walk out of their own unique path of justice." ”

Lu Bin saw that the knight of "justice" was still indifferent, and couldn't help but shake his head: "People can betray their own camp, but they can't betray their own interests." I'm afraid that this free land of Riverrun City is not the shelter of you slave owners, so leave with your righteousness. ”

Master Druid didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse, and hurriedly wanted to open his mouth to make amends, Lu Bin shook his head lightly: "I don't want to be stabbed in the back by a righteous knight when I am fighting with the slave master's servants in order to defend my freedom." The enemy can be fought for, and betrayal can never be forgiven. ”

"Lord Rez" said this, and Legolas Deerhelm knew that if he persisted, he would lose his position, so he could only obediently keep his mouth shut.

Orik Tyrese, who stayed nearby, didn't dare to say anything, even if most of these people were knights of the family who served under his command, could they still be whitewashed in the face of righteousness? Even he himself was a little unclean.

The knights who professed to be "righteous" were unable to resist the "legendary mage" even if they joined forces, and knelt before the "lord Rez", who had overwhelming strength and was the law-maker.

Nearly three teams of knights were cleared, and at the same time, several times the number of "heroes" from the underworld were captured and imprisoned, and what awaited them was extremely harsh laws, and perhaps only the servants of the anti-abolitionist group that attacked Riverrun could save them.

After this series of operations, Rushing City has cleared the internal security hazards under the leadership of Lu Bin, and it seems that its strength has been greatly weakened, and even affected the odds and betting amount of the ashes gambling game.

The enemy, who had been slowly advancing towards the pioneer leader, did not know the secret inside story, and when he learned the news, he accelerated his speed, as if he could not wait to see the dawn of victory.

Two days later, in the Riverrun Council Chamber, Master Druid's eyeliner, a group of recruited crows, was extracted by him and immediately depicted on the map.

"The enemy was divided into two groups, the front and the rear, the vanguard was very fast, and because he had abandoned most of his baggage and chose to go into battle lightly, he had reached the boundary stone to the west of the frontier territory. ”

Lu Bin pondered for a moment and looked at the archon with a solemn face: "Orik, this is your defense area, how about the arrangement?"

Oric Tyrese raised his head, "No problem! Except for a few who actually left, most of the knights who were cleared chose to stay in the stone castle of the knight's territory, in order to prove that they stayed and fought. ”

Lu Bin snorted, and there was no follow-up, obviously satisfied with such an arrangement, and the other people present looked at each other, and then suddenly came to their senses.

"The Ranger of the Flame Heart has expressed their willingness to help defend the forested areas east of the territory, they are all experts in jungle warfare, and their ability to survive in the wild is one of the best in the north. As for the priest of the Goddess of Springs Church, the healing potion he made is biased towards alchemical potions, and I have already cracked out some of the contents and started mass production after obtaining understanding, of course, none of this is free. ”

Lu Bin couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "Elvin Austin is very smart and knows how to use the existing rules, and the patent law is a law that I formulated and promulgated to encourage people to exchange knowledge, share the fruits of wisdom, and protect the interests of the majority." Therefore, I can only follow the rules, and each bottle of healing potion must pay a certain patent fee to the Goddess of Spring Water. Fortunately, it is a wartime system, and the church collects very little, and if it is used to sell it for profit, it is at least 50% of the profit. ”

Oric Tyrese remembered the rumors that Lord Reze had deliberately put out the news, claiming that he had invested a staggering amount of money in the Ashes Gamble, and at first he didn't know what he meant, but now he could guess the secret.

"With such a huge amount of money, His Excellency Rez has no way out but to win. As a result, more and more people or forces favored him, and support for him, both explicit and implicit, came one after another, especially the churches of the gods on earth. ”

There are special arrangements for the defense areas on the east and west sides of the territory, but in the south, where the "Lord Rez" is in charge, no one dares to talk too much. After all, those who have seen the flames of the Ember of the Destroyer Drax have very mixed emotions about the enemy attacking from the south, the sorrow that is difficult to describe in words, the schadenfreude at the sight of someone unlucky, and the faint pity or pitiness.

At the same time, the vanguard of the corps gathered by the anti-abolitionist forces has successfully broken through the boundary stone of the pioneer realm, and the "magic catapult shooter" Amy Virgo is a veteran adventurer who has been cultivating both magic and martial arts and has entered the transcendent rank for many years.

The Virgo family he was born into, started as a slave trader, recruited children with good qualifications and raised them from an early age, and constantly instilled the belief of loyalty to the family, or became a family member, a high-ranking cadre, or a gift to buy nobles, or lurked in other evil families in the underground world as an undercover agent and spy.

Among the seventeen evil families in the underworld, the Virgo family is a medium-sized family with strong potential power, and has deep ties to some of the powerful nobles of the Great Council of the North, if it weren't for this, they would have fallen in the bloody war.

Emi Virgo is a weapon that the Virgo family has honed for years, and it is time to pay off when they have gained a lot of resources during their upbringing.

"Seriously, after reading the recent information about Riverrun, I don't have the confidence I had in the beginning of victory. ”
