Ti flies.
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.
Since hiring three noble teachers, children over the age of five in the household have to attend six classes every day.
Their playti has greatly decreased.
No need to deal with these annoying and detestable little devils all day.
The ti Rennes spends with his wives has noticeably increased.
Their relationship has been steadily improving.
During this process, Janice, Katie, and Leila have beco pregnant one after another.
It is expected that around the New Year next year, three more children will be born.
Besides this good news, there is also so bad news.
During this period, the Rhine region has experienced a drought that has lasted for over a month.
The grain that could have had a bountiful harvest has seen a drastic drop in yield by half.
Coupled with the continuous high tax burden imposed by the king of Lances, a large number of struggling people have been completely overwheld.
They can't even afford to eat.
In this situation, the expansion of the cult of the evil god has beco unusually rapid.
The number of cult followers has rapidly expanded.
In less than a month, over ten towns have been captured and blood sacrifices have been made by the cult followers.
Over ten baronial families have been wiped.
Now the Rhine region is in a state of panic, and everyone is living in fear.
However, Rennes' territory is relatively calm.
Because of the developnt of the beer industry, Rennes had previously stockpiled a large amount of wheat (a raw material for brewing).
Therefore, even in the current food crisis, the food supply within the Eagle's Domain has not experienced shortages.
In this situation, the Eagle's Domain is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.
As for those cultists who attempt to invade from the outside, they can be stopped by the Black Rock City Wall and the teor Breaking Crossbow.
After all, the Eagle's Domain has only risen a few years ago, and the permanent population is only slightly over ten thousand.
Compared to other towns, it is simply pitifully small.
For those evil god priests who like to use blood sacrifices to exchange for power, the attraction is very limited.
So to attack the Eagle town, it is more cost-effective than to attack other towns.
And there is no evil god priest in charge.
Even those evil god cultists with only a cultivation level of 6th rank cannot pose a threat to Eagle's town.
Therefore, Eagle's town is calm and peaceful.
But it does not an that other noble territories are the sa.
On this morning.
Rennes received a plea for help from the Black family.
The letter stated that several evil god priests led tens of thousands of cultists to surround the Black family's territory, the city of Rock. The situation is now extrely critical, and they hope that Rennes can abide by the previous agreent and send troops to support Rock City.
"Sure enough, it's not easy to deal with the Black family's forged craftsn and the teor Breaking Crossbows."
After reading the letter, Rennes lightly tapped the table with his right hand and sighed.
Several evil cult priests, tens of thousands of cultists.
This is indeed a tough situation, but he had previously ford an alliance with the Black family through marriage and signed a magical contract.
It is not possible to not provide support, the magical contract is supervised by the god of contracts.
Once violated, the divine power of the god of contracts will cast the violator's soul into the depths of the Styx. (Styx is a river in underworld where souls of dead people go to.)
This price is obviously not sothing he can afford.
"It seems that I can only personally take action."
With his cultivation at the 9th rank limit, not to ntion eliminating those evil god believers, it should be no problem to help the Black family out of the crisis.
Even if an evil god projection appears, he is confident that he can retreat unscathed.
Thinking of this, Rennes imdiately made a decision.
After arranging the affairs of the territory, and making sure that there will be no chaos in his absence.
Rennes imdiately took his most elite guard and rode on warhorses, galloping towards the Black family's city of Rock.
...
While rushing to Rennes with a group of people to support the Black family.
On the other side, the situation in the city of Rock is not optimistic.
Tens of thousands of cultists, ard with various weapons, are crazily attacking the city walls.
Although these cultists were previously just ordinary farrs without military training, they possess brute strength gained from years of farming.
One-on-one, they are no match for the soldiers of Rock City.
But under the brainwashing of the cult's high priest, these cultists have turned into the most frenzied bloodthirsty beasts.
Fearless of death, even if their bodies are pierced by swords, they will still fiercely thrust their pitchforks at their opponents.
Facing opponents who are so crazed that they fear no death, any normal person would feel extrely terrified.
The soldiers of Rock City are no exception.
Less than ten minutes into the attack.
The soldiers responsible for guarding the city walls of Rock City are being pushed back by the cultists flooding in like a tide.
Morale of the people of Rock City is plumting, there are faint signs of collapse.
"Those who retreat will be killed without rcy!"
Seeing this, Bennett, the temporary leader of the Black family, imdiately beca anxious.
He climbed up the wall with dozens of personal guards, acting as a supervisory team, and beheaded those deserters who wanted to escape from the tower. ( wtf??)
At the sa ti, he made promises to the other soldiers.
As long as they hold the city walls, each person will receive thirty gold coins as a reward, there will also be hundreds of gold coins as compensation after death.
A carrot and a stick, the morale of the soldiers of Rock City has sowhat recovered.
Relying on their long-term training and coordination, they finally managed to barely stabilize the defense line.
However, there is not much joy on Bennett's face.
He is well aware that with the ard strength of the Black family, there is simply no hope of winning.
The resistance of the soldiers can only delay the ti of the city's breach at best.
Once those few high priests of the cult make a move, the situation will imdiately beco even worse than before.
"Has the plea for help been sent out? When can we expect the Habsburg family to arrive?"
With these thoughts in mind, Bennett anxiously asked the butler beside him.
"The plea for help has been sent out! The Habsburg family should have received it."
"If the Habsburg family hasn't been delayed and can send troops directly to support us, it will probably take about half a hour for them to reach the city of Rock." The butler replied.
"Half an hour?"
Upon hearing this, Bennett's expression beca even grimr.
That ti is too long, based on the current situation, it is likely that the city of Rock will not be able to hold on until then.
However, even if they can't hold on, they must keep on defend.
The family's legacy must not be destroyed in his hands.
With this thought in mind.
Bennett personally put on armor and led the elite guards of the family to fight against the swarming cultists.
With their formidable strength.
Soon, all the cultists on the eastern city wall were killed.
"Kill! Kill all these evil cultist."
Seeing their lord fight so bravely, the morale of the other soldiers in the city of Rock soared.
They worked together, killing all the cultists who climbed the city walls.
However, this didn't have much effect, because there were too many cultists.
Up to tens of thousands, the cultists they killed were just a drop in the bucket.
Soon, the cultists regrouped, attacking the city walls again.
The sounds of fierce fighting and desperate screams filled every corner of the city of Rock.
