Chapter 671 - New Powers

Lind's declaration was followed by swift changes.  Lanbao and Linghu moved many things to the Two Rivers where he would hold the seat of his power.  The Wards of Hope and Peace quickly petitioned to join.

The Ward of Blood also wanted to but it left some logistical issues.  Still, it was accepted fairly quickly.  The Haven Lands chose to stay separate but to be subservient to the Sanctuary Empire.

That partially solved the Ward of Blood issue.

The other Wards quickly dissolved to no surprise of anyone.  It was a bloodless separation as no one wanted to test the clearly irked Lind Frey.

The 3 new powers also did not join together to make new kingdoms.

The Ward of War became a trio of councilors at the peak that had already been running things like a kingdom so little changes were needed save the unofficial symbol of sword, spear, and shield now became their official symbol.
