The minions gathered by the aggressive anti-abolitionist forces lost the relatively elite vanguard army in the blink of an eye after capturing Thorn Ridge, which was not pleasant, and after the news spread, the frustration quickly spread, leading to further demoralization.

After the small-scale surge of the elemental tide, most of the half-elf marksmen in Riverrun City were affected and awakened the potential talent for spellcasting, and under the personal leadership of the "Lord Rez", the mage group quickly crossed the stage of formation and formation, and became the most reliable force under Lu Bin.

The news was soon spread through secret channels by the spies and intelligence brokers lurking in Riverrun, and the originally relatively weak pioneer realm had a formed mage regiment, which not only greatly increased its strength, but also made the uncertain prospects clear.

Although most of the members of the mage group directly under the "Lord Rez" are junior mages who have learned a few one-ring spells, with their precise archery skills, it becomes very terrifying.

There are "legendary mages" in Rushing City, even if they don't do anything, no one dares to mess around, especially since there is no force outside the city to respond, it is purely an act of looking for death.

Of course, there must be people who don't know whether to live or die to give it a go, especially when the elemental tide is coming in advance, and some self-righteous people are preparing to secretly make trouble and create all kinds of incidents.

It's a pity that the sentry guards arranged by Lu Bin in advance will completely control the inside and outside of Rushing City, even if there is the slightest incident that endangers the ruling order, he will arrive as soon as possible, and use cruel and ruthless iron-fisted methods to instantly eliminate the danger in the bud.

The residents of Riverrun, speculators from all over the world, and people with ulterior motives with strange intentions, soon saw the iron-blooded style of "Lord Rez", and at the same time they were shocked in their hearts, and had to put away their thoughts.

Lu Bin used high-pressure means to subdue the noise inside the core of the territory, and the next step was to deal with the enemy who entered the west of the territory, and the servant army of the anti-abolitionist forces who were now tearing at the defense line.

The mage regiment that was still in its infancy quickly gathered and launched a fixed target on the enemy who attacked in three directions, and the "Lord Rez" sent all his "retinue", including the high-level undead who served as battlefield assassins, for the purpose of keeping the enemy out of the country and avoiding affecting the core essence area of the hinterland of the pioneer territory to complete spring ploughing.

The unprecedented speed of strategic transformation was less than a day, and the servant army gathered by the anti-abolitionist forces was completely wiped out by rain of arrows and low-level spells with a very high density due to the decline in strength caused by the division of troops into three routes.

There were very few deserters who were lucky enough to avoid doom, and they had to be on guard at all times to avoid the pursuit of Lu Bin's retinue and high-level undead assassins.

The battle between abolitionist and anti-abolitionist forces soon came to an end, and when Riverrun quickly adjusted according to the changes in the environment and the situation, and took out the hastily prepared mage group, there was no suspense about the outcome of the war.

As for the anti-abolitionist forces, which suffered a great defeat and loss, after losing a lot of money, material resources, and human resources, the alliance that was close to the same interests was also on the verge of falling apart due to failure.

The Great Council of the North, the group of spellcasters led by the mage lord Felix, has swelled dramatically due to the elemental tides, which has profoundly affected the power map of the upper echelons of the North, and the great nobles who hold real power are redividing their territory, and the slave trade, which is lucrative but the market is relatively small, has become relatively insignificant.

The few minor nobles standing behind the anti-abolitionist forces were swept away by the elders of the House of Lords of the Great Council, and the abolitionist decree issued by a pioneer in the corner of the northern frontier became less important.

Regardless, thanks to a series of influences from the elemental tides, Riverrun stubbornly withstood the stormy blows of its opponents, gaining a foothold in this vast land and taking deep roots.

In the month of planting (February), in the Nature Mage Tower in the inner city of Riverrun, Druid master Legolas Deer Helm took the initiative to donate two spell books after the persuasion of "Lord Rez", which recorded natural spells from low to medium levels, and was very honored to become the deputy head of the Runwater Mage Regiment.

Although in the eyes of many well-informed "tavern watchers" and "underground archons" with unique visions, this is evidence that "Lord Rez" used all his coercion to lure the Druid Master into surrendering with this position.

However, the gossip of the people in the market could not stop the fact that the strength of the Mage Regiment of Rushing City had increased rapidly, and there were more and more half-elves who had mastered and learned intermediate spells above the third ring.

When the large Nature's Locks were on the agenda and began to be measured at various nodes in the inner city, all those in the know were shocked after a brief silence.

The "Lord Rez", who is responsible for weaving and making the chain, is known as the first mage in the north, and it is clear that someone is trying to burn the flames of war on the deputy speaker whose strength has swelled dramatically, if it were not for the mediation of the "son of Thor" Orrick Tyrese and the explanation of the mage lord Felix family in person, it would definitely cause trouble again.

However, only a few people in the know understood that Riverrun, which was too big to spread out, was short of money, and the bookmaker who presided over the Ashes Gamble wanted to repay the debt, and the "Son of Thor" had to come to the door to ask for money, and he also won over Count Conrad.

"This is a trip to the Filisk family to explain the origin of Lord Rez's acquisition of the first mage of the North in order to disguise the return of the gambling money, but fortunately, the harvest is quite rich, and the gambling money is almost doubled and brought back to Riverrun, alleviating the recent financial deficit, and the Archon Orric has made a remarkable achievement. ”

There are many people in the town hall who invite the "son of Thor" to gain fame and prestige, and Derek is the loudest person, after all, the friendship between Count Conrad and Olyk Tyrese has forced him to be inclined.

Recently, the great nobles at the top of the Great Council of the Northern Realm, the powerful factions with real power in the local area, have made corresponding changes due to the expansion of the power of the spellcaster group due to the elemental tide.

Private alliances and marriages were very frequent, and the two pioneer realms, which were originally radiated by the influence of Count Conrad, the lord of Bagen-Uttonburg, also bred many speculators inside.

Thankfully, the friendship between the Riverrun Lords and the Chief Archon has withstood the test, and the power structure has generally continued relatively smoothly, perhaps due to the strong but unrivalled style of the "Lord Rez", who has mastered the mage group (half-elves) and the military industry (Alpine Dwarves).

Based on the edict of emancipation of slaves and the settlement of slaves as citizens, Riverrun's population quickly caught up with and surpassed neighboring Blackwater in terms of quantity and quality.

The policy of building a commercial state in Flowing River City was implemented by Lu Bin's resolute will, and the relatively low commercial tax and zero tax card increasingly attracted commercial forces from the north to station.

Lu Bin's "entourage" quickly cleared the dark forces of the territory, death and killing did not prevent the force of goodness and order from coming, and Riverrun City officially entered the vision of the Church of the Gods of Order, rather than just being limited to gods like "The Patron God of the Northern Ranger" and "Goddess of Peace and Springs", which are not mainstream in the Pantheon.

A new temple has been added to the realm of faith in the inner city of Riverrun, and the first to reach out is the elven god system that has successfully opened up the New World, and the eyes of the gods have never left Middle-earth.

The second is the dwarven god system, the soul forger Moradin, which has become the source of faith for the dwarves in Rushing City. There are also many humans who choose to believe in this dwarven father, and most of them are influenced by the dwarven craftsmen who get along with each other day and night, but the god of craft and forging is obviously more popular.

Lu Bin knew that it was unreliable to have only half-elves and dwarves as the basis of power, at least in the northern realm, where humans were the mainstream. He divided his fiefdoms among the members of the porter's guild who loyally followed him, and in doing so, he firmly captured the hearts of more than a hundred families.

After all, the merit is not greater than that of "Conglong", following the lord to create the foundation of the pioneer domain, dividing the land as a reward, in the north where the pioneer spirit has not faded, it belongs to the mainstream of the mainstream, no one dares to oppose it, otherwise who is willing to risk death to forge ahead.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it crosses the "Moon of Fire" and "Moon of Gathering Time" to the "Harvest Moon" (May), and with a large number of sharp scythes distributed to farmers in batches, the first harvest since the establishment of Riverrun City is expected to be a bumper harvest.

After all, after so many years and rich experience, it has become a consensus that new territories can be burned and cultivated, and fertile soil can be pinched out of oil.

The price of grain in Rushing City fell three times a day, but fortunately, the grain merchants who knew the market were prepared for this wave of impact in advance, and had taken corresponding measures to avoid being slaughtered by the new grain on the market.

The good days of the grain merchants came to an end, and profits were forced or voluntarily dropped to a very low level, which was also the normal level of the northern territories.

Hundreds of farmers rushed in, wielding sharp sickles, setting off ripples, and the joy of the harvest filled the hearts of the farmers, and the heartfelt smiles hung on everyone's faces.

It didn't take long for the empty granary to be full of sun-dried wheat, Lu Bin looked at all this happily, and quietly ended the plan of planting grain crops in the "buried bones" to subsidize Rushing City, after all, the fast-ripening wheat does not have enough time to accumulate precipitated nutrients, but it is an emergency measure to deal with the lack of food and take in the short term, and now everything is back on track, of course, it must be stopped immediately.

In less than a year, the pioneer was successful, and it still resisted the spread of the war, and the speed of Rushing City surpassed that of Blackwater Town, becoming the object of study by observers of the current situation.

The results show that this successful experience is difficult to replicate, after all, not every pioneer lord has the strength of a "legendary mage", and the policy of establishing a commercial state is also somewhat contrary to "tradition", not to mention the many half-elf slaves and dwarf slave laborers who have turned into free men and formed a powerful mage group, and the military industry has the prospect of flourishing through commercial channels.

Under the influence of the elemental tides, the Rushing City, which was named the "City of Mages" by the good deeds, Lu Bin, who was in the Eagle Castle, laughed proudly, and the new card sets were unsealed one after another, and the Buried Bones Land also rose due to the absorption of the boiling fire element.

"The water element of the Water Ring Lanya, the wind element of the storm shackles, the fire element of the elemental tide, and the earth element of the plane itself, the four basic elements have finally been gathered, and after a period of accumulation, the land of bones should be completely transformed and promoted. ”

Lu Bin was looking forward to more harvests, looking at the direction of the rising sun with great ambition to welcome the arrival of a new day.
