Chapter 19 Projection Of The Evil God, The Death Of The Viscount Kaduo Family
Two months later.
Due to the upper-level rulers of the Lance Duchy consistently refusing to lower the tax burden, more and more people in the Rhine region are unable to survive.
From time to time, news of certain villages collectively resisting taxes or certain villages uprising can be heard.
In addition, various influential noble families have more or less sent people to participate in the border wars.
The armed forces in their hands have greatly diminished.
They are completely unable to suppress the rebellions in various regions.
Now, many areas have been abandoned by the nobles and have become lawless zones.
The situation in the Rhine region is showing signs of completely losing control.
Faced with such chaos, Rennes' territory naturally also suffered greatly.
After all,
Due to the rise of the beer industry, the prosperity of the Eagle's Territory is also somewhat famous in the Rhine region.
Many bandit groups who have turned to robbery attempt to come and cause trouble.
During this period,
There have been more than ten bandit groups coming to the Eagle's Village alone.
The scale varies.
Some have over a thousand people, while others have only a hundred or so.
However,
Fortunately, most of them are ordinary farmers who cannot survive.
There are only a few low-level supernaturals.
This kind of ragtag group,
Does not require Rennes to take action at all.
His family guards can easily deal with them.
After each battle,
Rennes ends up with a large number of prisoners.
Naturally, Rennes cannot let these people eat for free.
He executes those prisoners who have committed serious crimes.
The remaining individuals who have not committed major evils are all sent by Rennes to labor reform, building roads and walls.
Thanks to this,
The construction progress of the Black Rock City Wall project designed and planned by Rennes is much faster than expected.
To this day, the main part of the city wall has been completed by more than half.
In about another month, it will be completely finished.
Besides that,
Rennes was not idle at night.
Under his vigorous cultivation,
Janice and Jessica became pregnant one after another.
Laila and Murphy also continued to receive blessings.
Without any surprises, he would be able to receive at least four system rewards again after ten months.
By then, his strength would definitely experience a huge increase.
Everything is developing in a positive direction.
...
Time flies.
One month later,
The Blackrock City Wall in Eagle Village, no, now Eagle Town, was successfully completed.
It stretches for several kilometers, is eight meters high, and five meters wide.
It looks very thick and sturdy.
Being inside it gives people a sense of security.
Relying on such favorable conditions,
Even if tens of thousands of troops attack, Rennes has the confidence to defend.
However,
He didn't have much time to celebrate.
Rennes received shocking news.
The Lanstone City, where the Cardo Viscount family is located, was breached by cultists.
And the entire city's people were sacrificed to the fearsome evil god - Sorrow.
Not a single member of the Cardo family in Lanstone City survived.
When Rennes received this news, he was dumbfounded.
You see,
In the Rhine region, the Cardo family's strength is also quite prominent.
Who would have thought that the Cardo family would suddenly be wiped out like this.
Coming back to his senses, Rennes carefully examined the intelligence received from the family information network.
Soon, he understood the entire process of this matter.
Originally,
Several evil god priests carrying hidden treasures had infiltrated the city of Lan Shi.
They secretly developed the refugees as followers.
Once the number of followers reached a certain scale, these evil god priests immediately conducted a sacrifice.
They made thousands of followers offer their blood as sacrifice, summoning a temporary projection of an evil god with a power level of at least fourteen tiers.
Under such a powerful projection of an evil god, the unprepared Cardo family suffered heavy losses.
And the cultists outside the city took advantage of the situation and attacked, sandwiching them from both sides.
Under the evil conspiracy of the cultists,
Lan Shi City completely fell within an hour.
"It seems that the Rhine region is really going to be in chaos."
Putting down the parchment recording the intelligence, Rennes's eyes were filled with seriousness.
The extinction of the Cardo family has far-reaching implications.
Not to mention, those hidden troublemakers will definitely be encouraged.
Similar incidents will definitely not be few in the future.
In order to avoid following in the footsteps of the Cardo family,
Rennes learned his lesson.
He immediately dispatched more personnel to patrol Xiong Ying Town.
At the same time, he ordered the shadow organization to closely monitor outsiders in Xiong Ying Town and check if they have any abnormal behavior.
Once abnormalities are discovered, they are to be immediately eliminated.
...
A few days later,
A noble guard of several dozen people arrived at Xiong Ying Town.
"Who goes there?"
The city defense soldier standing on the Black Rock City wall shouted loudly.
Since the extinction of the Cardo family, the Rhine region has become increasingly chaotic.
Under Rennes's strict orders.
The Eagle's Nest is currently under a complete lockdown, with the city gates tightly closed. No outsiders are allowed to enter.
"We are people from the Black Baron family, and we have something to discuss with Baron Rennes."
An elderly man dressed as a butler stepped forward from the crowd and spoke to the guards.
Hearing that it was a visit from nobility, the city guards did not dare to be negligent and immediately sent someone to report to the Habs Manor.
Habs Manor.
Rennes was leisurely drinking tea while supervising his children's physical exercise and cultivation of Qi.
Shortly after, the butler led the guards into the manor.
They reported the visit from the Black Baron family.
"Why would the Black family suddenly come to me?" Rennes was somewhat puzzled.
However.
Considering that the two families were neighbors and had a mutually beneficial alliance, Rennes decided to meet them.
After all.
With the chaos outside, it could be that the Black family had something important to discuss with him.
Thinking of this.
Rennes immediately said to the butler, "If their identity is confirmed, bring them to see me."
"Yes!"
The butler agreed.
After about ten minutes.
The people from the Black Baron family were brought before Rennes by the butler.
Due to the fact that the head of the Black family, Baron Cardia, had gone to participate in the border war, the person in charge of the Black family now was Cardia's eldest son, Bennett.
"Little Bennett, is there something you came to see me about today?" Rennes, seeing Bennett walk in, didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Lord Rennes, I have come for the purpose of a marriage alliance between our two families."
