A new round of war has begun.

The Duchy of Black Iron was originally just watching the show, but they never expected the Duke of Windsor to be so lacking in martial ethics.

They felt that the Silver Duke was difficult to deal with, so they thought of finding them to make amends.

The marquis guarding the frontier of the Black Iron Duchy was furious.

Fortunately, they had already issued the highest-level mobilization order, and the army was prepared in advance.

They were not caught off guard by the Duke of Windsor.

However, due to the lack of Tier 3 combat power, they continued to suffer defeats on the battlefield.

In just two days, they lost three lines of defense and sixty or seventy territories.

When the Black Iron Grand Duke received the news, he cursed, but he still immediately sent the Black Iron Dragon to provide support.

Even if the Black Iron Dragon flew at full speed, it would still take a day to reach its destination.

Moreover, the Black Iron Duchy was not as strong as the Bronze Duchy, and no titled knights had emerged from their generation, so they were often manipulated by the surrounding duchies.

Therefore, when Black Iron Dragon arrived at the pioneering lands, it only stopped the large-scale rout.

This still couldn't stop the Duke of Windsor's offensive to seize territory.

How their two families ended up fighting like dogs is another story.

Ron is very pleased with himself right now.

Upon returning to River Bend, he thoroughly reviewed his gains.

Needless to say, they basically took over all the territory, completing the feat of a snake swallowing an elephant.

But this is the only time I can do it.

Once Ron has his own territory, it will be impossible for him to rely on underhanded tactics like he does now.

In terms of gains, Jinlong and others directly gained nearly three million in wealth.

This was even after Ron had subdued so many lords and only raided the hometowns of another hundred or so lords.

If we include the purge of the fleeing lords, we could have another half as much.

However, at Ron's level, the limitations of gold coins become quite significant.

Some items cannot be bought with gold coins in the market; you can only try your luck at auctions.

Once you reach the advanced life stage, energy stones and crystal cores become the alternatives to gold coins.

Both of these can be used directly by knights and mages to either increase their strength or charge their energy.

The energy stones Ron bought before, even the ones that weren't ranked, cost 300 gold dragons each.

Those who have entered the ranks basically have a thousand gold dragons, and the crystal cores are also priced similarly.

These magical items, including crystal cores, alchemy tools, scrolls, and the like, can add up to a value of five or six thousand Tier 1 energy stones.

The Marquis of Mammon and several other earls contributed the most.

Needless to say, as for the elf insects, it's clear that robbery is indeed the best way to accumulate wealth.

He now has nearly three thousand elf insects, and he has destroyed more than a hundred territories in the entire frontier.

He swallowed all the wealth and the spirit insects, and the remaining lords who had submitted to him also had to give Ron three magic potion spirit insects.

This has led to Ron's current status as an elf insect, surpassing even the Marquis family. As for how far he still falls behind the Duke family, it's hard to say.

Because at this stage, the true wealth of a great noble is at least at the level of a great elf, and they can have as many elven insect potions as they want.

Take the Principality of Brass as an example.

The entire duchy is the wealth of the Brass family, including its nobles and, of course, their elven insects.

Therefore, even Ron no longer directly contracts with the insect spirits; only the potion spirits are worth Ron personally contracting.

He planned to have Liulichuan and the others help him share the burden later, and to form a contract with the magic insects in his territory.

Otherwise, his mind would be too noisy, and it would take him a long time to find a specific insect to communicate with.

If Liulichuan and the others are not enough, he also plans to have the castle maids contract the remaining agricultural insects.

Then just throw the person into the small garden, and everything will be fine.

The harvest of Pokémon was also quite good, with an average of one or two per household, and Ron's number of Pokémon increased by nearly two hundred.

Among them, there are 121 agricultural sprites and 75 magic potion sprites.

After Ron finished making contracts with the potion sprites, he couldn't tell them apart anymore.

Fortunately, Bella and Big White were quite familiar with each other and recognized each other well, otherwise they would have gone back to hide and be sad again.

Regarding the Great Spirits, there were relatively few new acquisitions.

Those counts ran away too quickly; Ron only left one family behind.

They harvested a Jasmine Potion Fairy and a Potato Agriculture Fairy.

At this point, Ron's total number of all the sprites reached an unprecedented peak.

There are eight great spirits, namely:

Five Potion Spirits:

Agave Fairy: Little Sword, Lavender Fairy: Flower, Sunshine Rose Fairy: Sweetie, Pomegranate Fairy: Big Purple, Jasmine Fairy: Little Fragrance.

Three agricultural spirits: Sesame Spirit: Tangyuan (glutinous rice ball), Wheat Spirit: Bread, and Potato Spirit: Ground Egg.

There are 313 sprites, including:

112 Potion Sprites;

201 agricultural sprites.

There are over two thousand spirit insects, and the ratio of potion insects to agricultural insects is one to three.

(I won't be listing any more in the near future; this is more of a summary.)

After returning to the Reach, Ron didn't have any free time; in fact, he became even busier.

Because he decided that the Silver Grand Duchy would be formally established a month later.

We will invite people from neighboring countries to attend the ceremony.

The capital was established in Oak City, which was later renamed Silver City.

So Ron was constantly busy, having to prepare for the move in advance.

In addition, people need to be arranged to take over and maintain stability in the territories that were previously conquered, where the lords fled or were killed.

We cannot allow those serfs to be left unattended, to run rampant, and to wreak havoc on the territory.

So he didn't even bother to join the fierce battle between the Grand Duke of Windsor and the Duchy of Black Iron in the east.

Looking at his castle and magic tower, which he had only built two years ago, Ron was also filled with emotion:

"What a spendthrift woman! All she knows is wasting money!!"

Fortunately, after moving to Silver City, there was no need to spend money to build it anymore, as there was already one there.

It was built by a first-tier mage who emptied his family's savings; it's even more luxurious than the one in Liulichuan.

Unfortunately, that magician dared to resist and was frozen into an ice cube by Margaret.

A month is neither a long nor a short time.

More than half the time had passed in the blink of an eye. Ron handed over the affairs of the River Reach to Perrin and led his army ahead of time to Silver City.

Liulichuan, Iris, Lilith, and the children were all in the small garden, and they were only released when they arrived at their destination.

Margaret was also recuperating in the small garden. She had been slightly injured in the battle with the brass dragon, and now the silvery-white scales on her wounds had healed and were even shinier than before.

But she kept saying she was still in pain, clearly trying to continue scamming Ron out of his workers' compensation.

But Ron was too lazy to expose her, after all, Margaret had put in a lot of effort this time.

Oak City, or rather Silver City now, has changed dramatically.

The black wolf flag that originally belonged to Marquis Mammon on the city wall was taken down and replaced with a silver-white dragon flag.

The city gates were repainted, and the streets were cleaned up. Dick was sent ahead of time to do the job of whipping people to build public toilets.

As the loyal servant of the Silver Duke, he could not allow the Duke to come to his loyal Silver City and see people urinating and defecating everywhere.

The houses in Silver City that were destroyed by the dragon's breath are being rebuilt, and they will definitely be completed by the time the nation is founded.

When Ron entered the city, the roadsides were lined with people: merchants, artisans, serfs, and lords who had come from all over.

"Long live the Grand Duke!" someone shouted, and then more people joined in.

(I'll be writing like crazy on May 520th!)
