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 ti to ti, 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 ard 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 beco 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 sowhat famous in the Rhine region.
Many bandit groups who have turned to robbery attempted to co and cause trouble.
During this period, there have been more than ten bandit groups coming to the Eagle's Village alone.
The scale varies.
So had over a thousand people, while others have only a hundred or so.
Fortunately, most of them are ordinary farrs who cannot survive.
There are only a few low-level warriors or mages.
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 cris.
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 beca pregnant one after another.
Leila and Marphy also continued to receive blessings.
Without any surprises, he would be able to receive at least four system rewards again after nine to ten months.
By then, his strength would definitely experience a huge increase.
Everything is developing in a positive direction.
...
Ti flies.
One month later,
The Blackrock City Wall in Eagle Village, no, now Eagle Town, was successfully completed.
It stretches for several kiloters, is eight ters high, and five ters 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 ti 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 fearso evil god - Sorrow.
Not a single mber 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 Lanstone.
They secretly developed the refugees as followers.
Once the number of followers reached a certain scale, these evil god priests imdiately 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, Lanstone City completely fell within few hours.
"It seems that the Rhine region is really going downhill."
Putting down the parchnt recording the intelligence, Rennes's eyes were filled with seriousness.
The extinction of the Cardo family has far-reaching implications.
Not to ntion, 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 imdiately dispatched more guardians to patrol Eagle Town.
At the sa ti, he ordered the shadow organization to closely monitor outsiders in Eagle Town and check if they have any abnormal behavior.
Once abnormalities are discovered, they are to be imdiately eliminated.
...
A few days later,
A noble guards with several dozen people arrived at Eagle 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 beco increasingly chaotic.
Under Rennes's strict orders.
The Eagle town 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 sothing 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 imdiately sent soone to report to the Habsburg Manor.
Habsburg Manor.
Rennes was leisurely drinking tea while supervising his children's physical exercise and cultivation of Qi.
Shortly after, the butler led the guard into the manor.
They reported the visit from the Black Baron family.
"Why would the Black family suddenly co to ?" Rennes was sowhat puzzled.
However, considering that the two families were neighbors and had a mutually beneficial alliance, Rennes decided to et them.
After all, with the chaos outside, it could be that the Black family had sothing important to discuss with him.
Thinking of this.
Rennes imdiately said to the butler, "If their identity is confird, bring them to see ."
"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 Black, 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 sothing you ca to see for in this day?" Rennes, seeing Bennett walk in, didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Lord Rennes, I have co for the purpose of a marriage alliance between our two families."
