The Witcher: Elemental Lords

Dozens of mountain peaks on the outermost layer of the Beiyuan Mountain Range collapsed. In the Albis Mountains, near the Beiyuan Mountain Range, dozens of mountain peaks also collapsed, filled with indelible elemental attributes such as fire, lightning, and poison.

The Northwest Passage was indeed unscathed, but outside the passage, corpses littered the ground, both of magical beasts and humans, a truly tragic sight.

When the caravan emerged from the Northwest Passage, the high-level combatants from both sides turned and left, never to be seen in the sky again.

The two sides mobilized dozens of level six combatants and a full dozen level seven combatants, fighting with earth-shattering force. The explosions and rumbles were clearly audible from Albis City, hundreds of miles away.

The nobles, ordinary soldiers, and those with some status in the city, as well as the common people who had no chance to participate in the war, witnessed the entire course of events on the plains nearly a hundred kilometers away, witnessing this great moment.

The most impressive was the extremely beautiful witch, who activated the Wizard Tower, causing fire rain to fall from the sky. The explosions and rumbles echoed throughout the wilderness. However, in terms of sheer power, Lord Dole, the city lord, was the most formidable. His Storm Domain covered hundreds of kilometers in all directions, with dense lightning and tremendous roars that shook the heavens and the earth.

The battle lasted for a long time, ultimately ending in human victory.

This was a day to be recorded in history, a glorious day, a day of victory for the people of the Northwest.

This day was called the Glorious Day by the people of Albis City, and a festival, the Mountain-Breaking Festival, was spontaneously formed.

The people in the city sang, danced, and spread the news, proclaiming this great victory to everyone.

At the same time, this news spread throughout the north and south of the Great River, quickly reaching the imperial capital.

In the Albis Mountains, Dole reinstalled the Babel Tower in the eye of the storm, looking exhausted. He had been fighting on multiple fronts and was now completely worn out.

Baal was also covered in blood, both his own and others'. That bastard Dragon Bat had fought him fiercely, and both beasts had suffered damage.

Countless level six combatants had fallen. Dole's silver corpses had lost a full three.

Although these were not originally his, they now belonged to him, and he felt the pain of their damage. Each silver corpse would cost nearly a million gold coins to repair, totaling fifteen million gold coins.

That's all money! What he needs most now is money. To complete the construction as soon as possible and open the passage quickly, he has invested all the money from selling land.

It's almost a complete loss, nearly hundreds of millions of gold coins, all invested.

These gold coins would be more than enough to upgrade all the Wizard Towers to level eight.

But to speed up construction, there is no other way.

There are now more than eighty nobles, large and small, who have come to Albis Mountain City. It's already quite good that they can contribute so much money.

With the Northwest Passage officially opened, wealth will flow in continuously, and making profits will become easier.

Commerce will gradually develop, naturally driving other industries. Slowly, there's no rush. Dole has plenty of patience.

Now, he, the Rhine family, the Oun family, and some other forces have formed an alliance. An attack on Albis City is an attack on them, so Dole is not afraid of being targeted. It's really good to have teammates to cooperate with.

What he needs to do now is to recuperate and restore the Storm Domain.

Through this battle, Dole understood many characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of the Storm Domain. He constantly calculated how to make up for them and improve the Storm Domain.

In addition, he owes Akso a lot of favors this time.

But finally, the Northwest Passage has been opened.

The Wasenburg Glory Wizard Alliance also contributed a lot this time, and he remembers them all in his heart.

All parties are licking their wounds and have returned to a truce.

When the first caravan passed through the Northwest Passage and arrived in Montana Province, the merchants of Montana Province cheered.

Subsequently, the first caravan departing from the North Province passed through from the other side, and the two sides exchanged goods for the first time.

May is destined to be a season of harvest. The Northwest Passage is now unobstructed.

…

Imperial Capital.

In the main hall, the Great Emperor threw the memorial on the empty hall floor, looked at the people below, and slowly smiled, "You all said that Albis City is a city destined to be unable to defend, and you did not approve of establishing a prefecture there. Now they have repeatedly repelled the enemy and opened the Northwest Passage. What do you have to say?"

George stood aside, also smiling and nodding in acknowledgment. Behind him, those belonging to the George faction stood there watching the excitement.

The forces belonging to the Edward family were silent at this time. The successful establishment of the Northwest Passage was something they had not expected at all. An outsider, a level six wizard, was able to repel the many level seven combatants of the Beiyuan Mountain Range and successfully gain a foothold.

Although Eaton had provided a lot of information, saying how powerful he was and how abundant his resources were, he was, after all, only a level six wizard with a few Wizard Towers. But now it seems that the other party's foundation is indeed a bit richer.

This is something they had not expected at all.

The official opening of the Northwest Passage for trade has a significant impact on the northern provinces. Although it is only a few hundred kilometers less, how much manpower and material resources can be saved on those few hundred kilometers, and there is also the time saved.

The main hall was a bit awkward. At this time, one of them stood up and said with a smile, "This is the fortune of the empire, the blessing of the empire. That Dole occupies Albis Mountain and opens the Beiyuan Passage, which is a great fortune for our Glorious Empire. We should be happy. Your Majesty, shouldn't we give him appropriate rewards?"

George glanced at this person. This person was also from the Edward family, not mentioning anything about ennoblement. What an old fox.

He stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I propose that, taking advantage of the successful opening of the Northwest Passage, why not today ennoble Dole?"

"That's right, such great merit, it would be too much to not ennoble him."

"Albis Mountain, ah, so many level seven combatants have been driven away, adding thirty to forty thousand square kilometers of territory out of nowhere. And with the land near Albis Mountain, how many people can it support? These are all indelible achievements and should be ennobled."

Those belonging to the George faction began to discuss it noisily, their voices chaotic.

Looking down from the main hall, the people discussing it almost exceeded 60%.

In the corner of the main hall, another middle-aged man sighed slightly in his heart when he saw this. He was destined to lose. This younger brother had extraordinary means.

He did not speak, but that did not mean that the people around him did not speak.

However, they belonged to the Imperial Guard faction and rarely participated in state affairs, so they could not get a word in.

Emperor Yale saw all of this. His third son's momentum had grown. The Edward family was, after all, only one family, while his third son had already won over three or four families.

No matter who interjected at this time, they would inevitably be suppressed in the future.

He smiled at this time and waved his hand, and the surroundings immediately quieted down.

"According to the current news, Albis City has not even built city walls because it has not yet been conferred. This is a loss of national dignity. Well, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs draft a management list according to the requirements of Albis City and confer it. We still have a marquis position, and we can't let people be disheartened. In addition, let that Dole come to the imperial capital for the ennoblement ceremony. Emm, let George handle this matter."
