Two months later.
As the upper echelons of the Duchy of Lance did not lower their taxes, more and more people in the Rhine region could not survive.
From time to time, he would hear news of a village's collective resistance to taxes or a village's uprising.
In addition, the powerful nobles more or less sent people to participate in the border war.
The armed forces in their hands were greatly reduced.
It was impossible to suppress the rebellion in various places.
Now, many regions had been abandoned by the nobles and became ungoverned areas.
The situation in the Rhine region was showing signs of losing control.
Faced with such chaos, Ryan's territory was naturally affected.
After all.
Because of the rise of the beer industry, the wealth of Eagle Hill was also famous in the Rhine region.
Many bandit groups who had become bandits attempted to take advantage of the situation.
During this period of time.
There were more than ten bandit groups that had come to Eagle Village.
The scale varied.
There were thousands of people at most, and hundreds at least.
However…
Fortunately, most of them were mortal farmers who could not survive.
There were only a few low-level Extraordinaires.
Such a mob.
There was no need for Ryan to make a move.
His family guards could easily take care of him.
Every time the battle ended.
A large number of captives appeared in Ryan's hands.
Rennes naturally wouldn't let these people idle around.
Kill the most vicious prisoners who had committed great crimes.
The remaining people who had not committed any major crimes were sent to labor reform by Ryan to repair roads and walls.
He benefited from this.
The progress of the Black Lava City Wall project designed by Ryan was much faster than expected.
By now, the main part of the city wall was already more than half completed.
It would probably be completed in another month.
Other than that.
Ryan did not idle at night either.
Under his vigorous sowing.
Janice and Jessica were pregnant.
Lara and Murphy were also constantly receiving the rain.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to obtain at least four more system rewards in ten months.
At that time, his strength would definitely be greatly improved again.
Everything was going well.
……
Time flew.
A month later.
Eagle Village, no, the Black Rock City Wall of Eagle Town had been successfully completed.
It was several kilometers long, eight meters tall, and five meters wide.
It looked extremely thick and sturdy.
Being in it made people feel very safe.
Relying on such a geographical advantage.
Even if tens of thousands of soldiers attacked, Rennes was confident that he could stop them.
However…
He was not happy for too long.
Ryan received a shocking piece of news.
Lanshi City, where Viscount Kado's family was located, had been breached by the cultists.
Furthermore, the entire city was sacrificed to the Evil God of Fear, Solo.
None of the Kado family members in Lanshi City survived.
When he received the news, Rene was dumbfounded.
One had to know.
In the Rhine region, the Kado family was also quite powerful.
Who would have thought that the Kado family would perish so suddenly?
He came back to his senses.
Rene carefully checked the information sent by the family's intelligence network.
Soon, he understood the entire process.
So…
There were several evil god priests who had hidden their auras and treasures in Lanshi City.
Secretly developing disaster victims as believers.
When the number of believers reached a certain scale, these evil god priests immediately began the sacrifice.
He made thousands of believers sacrifice themselves as a blood sacrifice and summoned a temporary evil god projection with strength above level 14.
? Under such a powerful evil god projection, the defenseless Kado family suffered heavy losses.
The cultists outside the city took the opportunity to attack the city and pincer attack from both sides.
Under the evil schemes of the Cthulhu believers.
Lanshi City didn't last more than an hour before it completely fell.
"It seems that the Rhine region is really going to be in chaos.”
Putting down the parchment in his hand, Rene's eyes were filled with solemnity.
The destruction of the Kado family had a far-reaching impact.
Not to mention anything else, those who were secretly stirring up trouble would definitely be encouraged.
There would definitely be many similar incidents in the future.
In order not to follow in the footsteps of the Kado family.
Ryan learned his lesson.
They immediately sent more people to patrol Eagle Town.
At the same time, he ordered the Dark Shadow Organization to closely monitor the outsiders in Eagle Town to see if they had any abnormal actions.
Once they discovered anything unusual, they would kill them immediately.
……
Several days later.
Dozens of noble guards arrived at Eagle Town.
"Who is it?"
The city guard standing on the Black Lava City wall shouted.
Since the demise of the Caddo family, the Rhine region had become more and more chaotic.
Under Rennes's strict orders.
The Eagle Ridge was now under martial law and the city gates were tightly shut.
No outsiders were allowed to enter.
"We are from the family of Baron Blake. We have something to ask of Baron Ryan.”
An old man dressed like a butler walked out of the group and spoke to the guard.
He heard that it was a noble visiting.
The city guards did not dare to be negligent. One of them immediately ran to Hubs Manor to report.
Habus Manor.
Rennes was leisurely drinking tea while urging his child to train his body and battle energy.
Then, the butler walked in with the guards.
He informed them about the visit of Baron Blake's family.
"Why did the Black family suddenly come to find me?”
Hearing this, Rene was a little confused.
However…
Seeing that the two families were neighbors and allies, Rennes decided to meet them.
After all.
It was so chaotic outside, and the Blake family had come to look for him. Perhaps there was something important.
Thinking of this…
Rennes immediately said to the butler,"After confirming that there's no problem with the other party's identity, bring someone over to see me.”
"Yes, sir!"
The butler agreed.
About ten minutes later.
The butler brought the Blake family to Ryan.
Baron Cartier, the head of the Blake family, went to the border war to participate in the war.
Now the head of the Black family had become the eldest son of Baron Cartier, Burnet.
"Little Burnet, what brings you here today?”
Seeing Burnet walk in, Ryan didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.
"Sir Rennes, I'm here for the marriage between the two families.”
