Chapter 18 Building The City Wall Barrier And Infiltrating The Cultists In The Village
"Still too weak." Rennes sighed.
During normal times, these armed forces would be sufficient to defend the territory.
But now, there are already signs of chaos in the Rhine region.
Various forces are taking advantage of the situation.
Even followers of evil gods have appeared.
In the future, there may be major events like the descent of evil gods.
In this situation, the armed forces in his hands are simply not enough.
"Perhaps we can enhance our strength in other ways," Rennes thought after a moment of contemplation.
Firstly, relying on mass recruitment to significantly strengthen the armed forces in a short period of time is not realistic.
After all, no one knows if the extraordinary individuals who come to apply have ulterior motives.
If cultists manage to infiltrate the territory, it would be a disaster.
In short, the risks of this method are too high and the benefits are too small. Pass!
Of course, recruiting villagers from the Eagle Village and expanding the militia is also a good choice.
Although they are all ordinary mortals.
But with a larger number, dealing with some low-level extraordinary individuals is not a problem.
In addition.
Rennes also plans to repair the village walls in Eagle Village to enhance the territory's defense against external invaders.
At the same time, he will secretly purchase city-level crossbows.
"And we need to speed up the process of obtaining live Thunderstorm Eagles."
If he can obtain enough Thunderstorm Eagles, he can use his secret taming techniques to acquire an alternative aerial army.
Rennes wrote down these plans on parchment in order of importance.
In the afternoon.
The entire Eagle Village began to operate according to Rennes' will.
Under the coordination of the steward, thousands of people were enthusiastically building the city wall.
The main material for the city wall was the black rock produced by the Black Rock Mine, which was "gifted" by the Yak family.
This kind of rock is extremely tough and can withstand attacks from intermediate-level warriors.
If this black rock city wall is completely finished,
It will definitely become an insurmountable barrier.
...
The next day.
Rennes got up early in the morning and organized manpower to build the city wall.
The situation outside is now severe, and the earlier the city wall is completed, the more at ease he will be.
In order to speed up the construction progress,
Rennes not only used most of the family's carriages to transport the black rock, but also spent a lot of money to double the number of workers for wall construction.
After handling the matters related to wall construction, he had a few trusted guards take the militia to supervise the work.
Returning to the Habs Manor,
Rennes found a beautiful green figure sitting in the living room.
"Felina, why are you here? How is Lifa's injury?"
Recognizing the identity of this figure, Rennes warmly greeted.
"With the 10,000 gold coins you lent us, we successfully invited the bishop of the Life Church to treat her."
"After several months of recuperation, Lifa's injury has almost healed!"
"But her overdrafted Qi origin has not been able to recover, and her Qi limit has decreased by 40%."
"Without special opportunities, Lifa will never be able to break through to the 7th rank and become an advanced hunter."
As she spoke, a hint of sorrow and sadness appeared on Felina's fair and beautiful face.
Because of this incident, Lifa has become somewhat depressed recently.
She is not as lively as before.
"There must be a way to recover."
Rennes spoke up to comfort her.
That's what he said.
But he also knew in his heart how difficult it is to completely restore the overdrafted Qi origin.
The amount of original fighting spirit that a person can cultivate is limited.
Overdrafting the original fighting spirit is equivalent to burning one's own potential.
The more overdrafted, the more severe the loss of potential.
Unless one obtains precious treasures that can improve one's own aptitude, it is basically impossible to recover.
And treasures that can significantly improve one's aptitude are extremely precious and rare.
With the strength of the Purple Wisteria Adventuring Team, it is almost impossible to obtain them.
Fureina clearly understood this.
Even after listening to Rennes' comfort, her mood remained very low.
"Fureina, is there something you came to find me for this time?"
Seeing this, Rennes quickly changed the subject to avoid Fureina from being immersed in negative emotions.
Upon hearing this, Fureina finally remembered the purpose of her visit.
"Rennes, I came this time to remind you to be vigilant against cultists."
"A few days ago, many cultists infiltrated the city of Cardia and conducted evil blood sacrifice rituals, attempting to summon projections of evil gods."
"If it weren't for the timely discovery by the city defense team of Cardia, the city would probably have been destroyed by the evil gods..."
As she spoke, Fureina took out a magic tool resembling a compass from her backpack and handed it to Rennes.
"This is a perception compass that can roughly detect negative energy fluctuations within a kilometer of its surroundings."
"As long as cultists carrying negative energy appear, the compass will automatically sound an alarm..."
"I hope this magic tool can help you."
"I can't accept this."
Rennes quickly spoke up.
This kind of magic tool that can detect and prevent cultists on a large scale is quite valuable.
How could he accept such a precious thing for no reason?
Wouldn't that be taking advantage of others?
However...
Fureina was determined to make Rennes accept it.
There was no way to refuse.
Rennes could only put the perception compass into his bag.
However...
He also gave Furaina a return gift - six bottles of advanced healing magic potion.
This magic potion can quickly heal injuries.
It also has a significant effect on fatal injuries.
It can be considered an essential medicine for battles and adventures.
The six bottles of advanced healing magic potion are worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and Furaina didn't want to accept them at all.
In the end, it was Rennes who insisted on not accepting them and took the Perception Compass back.
Only then did Furaina accept them.
They exchanged "gifts" with each other.
After chatting for a while.
Furaina took her leave.
The sisters of the Lilac Adventure Team were still waiting for her to return.
Watching Furaina ride her warhorse and disappear at the end of the road.
Rennes turned back to the Eagle Village and began to use the Perception Compass to search for the traces of the cultists.
Don't mention it.
After perceiving the entire village, he actually discovered three cultists.
These three cultists had only recently infiltrated the village.
Their strength is about Level 5.
After being discovered by Rennes, the three immediately fought back.
However.
This was clearly a case of using an egg to strike a rock.
As a Level 9 warrior, Rennes didn't even need to use any combat skills.
He infused the Storm Greatsword with the power of the Furious Dragon Qi.
A more than ten-meter-long green wind dragon soared from the greatsword.
Directly blasting the three into pieces.
Eliminating the hidden dangers in the village.
Rennes once again focused his energy on the construction of the city wall.
