Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
Ever since they recruited three noble teachers, the children above the age of five had to attend six classes a day.
Their playing time was greatly reduced.
He didn't need to bring along these annoying brats.
Ryan's time with his wives had obviously increased.
Their relationship was heating up.
During this process, Janice, Katie, and Lila became pregnant one after another.
It was estimated that three more children would be born around the new year next year.
Other than this good news, there was another piece of bad news.
During this period of time.
A drought that lasted for more than a month occurred in the Rhine region.
The grain that could have been harvested had plummeted by half.
Coupled with the continuous high taxes of the Duchy of Lance, a large number of people who were barely making a living were completely crushed.
He couldn't even afford to eat.
Under such circumstances, the expansion of the belief in the evil god became abnormally rapid.
The number of believers of the evil god rapidly expanded.
In less than a month, more than a dozen towns had been attacked by the believers of the evil god as blood sacrifices.
More than a dozen baron families were removed from the list.
Now, the Rhine region was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger.
However…
Ryan's territory was relatively peaceful.
Due to the development of the beer industry, Ryan had previously stockpiled a large amount of wheat (raw materials for brewing beer).
Therefore, he had no choice.
Even though there was a food crisis now, there was still no shortage of food supply in Eagle Territory.
Under such circumstances, Eagle Territory was naturally as stable as Mount Tai.
As for the evil cultists who were trying to invade the outside world.
With the Black Stone City Walls and the Meteor City-Breaking Crossbows, they could block it.
After all.
Eagle Hill had just risen a few years ago, and its resident population was only slightly more than 10,000.
Compared to other towns, it was pitifully little.
? To the evil god priests who liked to use blood sacrifices to exchange for power, the attraction was limited.
He had the ability to attack Eagle Territory.
It would be more cost-effective to attack other towns.
There was no evil god priest to hold the fort.
Those cultists with the highest cultivation base of Level 6 could not even pose a threat to the Eagle Territory.
However…
Eagle Territory was calm.
It did not mean that the other noble territories were the same.
That morning.
Ryan received a letter from the Blake family asking for help.
The letter stated that several evil god priests had led tens of thousands of cultists to surround the Blake family's territory, Monolith City. The situation was extremely critical, and they hoped that Ryan could abide by the previous agreement and send troops to support Monolith City.
"As expected, the Blacksmiths of the Blake family and the three Meteor City-Breaking Crossbows are not easy to obtain.”
After reading the letter, Rene tapped the table with his right hand and sighed.
Several cult priests and tens of thousands of cult followers.
This was a tough one!
However, he had previously formed an alliance with the Blake family and signed a magic contract.
It was impossible not to provide support.
The signing of magic was supervised by the God of Contract.
Once he breached the contract.
The divine power of the God of Contract would send the soul of the violator into the Styx Abyss.
This price was clearly not something he could afford.
"Looks like I have to do it myself.”
With his peak level 9 cultivation.
Not to mention exterminating the followers of the evil god, it should not be a problem to help the Blake family out of trouble.
Even if the evil god's projection appeared, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, Ryan immediately made a decision.
Arrange the territory matters.
After confirming that there would be no chaos after he left.
Rennes immediately led his most elite guards and rode his warhorse, galloping towards the Blake family's Monolith City.
……
Just as Rennes and his men were hurrying to help the Blake family.
On the other side.
The situation in Monolith City was not optimistic.
Tens of thousands of cultists held all kinds of weapons and crazily attacked the walls of Monolith City.
Although these cultists were just ordinary farmers who had not undergone military training and only had the brute strength brought by years of farming.
In a one-on-one battle, they were no match for the Monolith City soldiers.
However, under the brainwashing of the evil god priest, these cultists had already turned into the craziest bloodthirsty beasts.
Fearless of life and death.
Even if their bodies were pierced by swords and sabers, they would still try their best to stab their opponents with the pitchfork in their hands.
Facing such a crazy opponent who was not afraid of death, any normal person would feel extremely terrified.
The soldiers of Panshi City were the same.
The attack had started less than ten minutes ago.
The Monolith City soldiers in charge of guarding the city walls were beaten back by the cultists who surged in like a tide.
Morale plummeted.
There were faint signs of defeat.
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
Seeing this, Burnet, the temporary controller of the Blake family, immediately became anxious.
He brought dozens of guards to the top of the city wall and acted as the supervising team, killing those deserters who wanted to escape down the city tower.
At the same time, he promised the other soldiers.
As long as they defended the city wall, everyone would be rewarded with 30 gold coins.
After death, there would be hundreds of gold coins as compensation.
A carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other.
The morale of the Monolith City soldiers returned.
Relying on their long-term training, they finally managed to stabilize the defense line.
However…
Burnet did not look happy.
He knew very well that with the Blake family's armed forces, there was no hope of winning.
The resistance of the soldiers could only delay the time to break through the city.
Once those evil god priests made their move, the situation would immediately become even worse than before.
"Have you sent out the request for help? When will the people of the Habus clan arrive?”
Thinking of this, Burnet asked the butler anxiously.
"The request for help has been sent out! The people of the Habus clan should have received it.”
"If the people of the Habus clan don't delay and send reinforcements directly, we'll probably need half a magic hour to reach Monolith City.”
the butler replied.
"Half a magic hour?"
Hearing this, Burnet's expression turned even uglier.
This was too long.
Judging from the current situation, it would be very difficult for Panshi City to hold on until then.
However…
He had to defend even if he couldn't.
The family business must not be destroyed in his hands.
With this thought in mind.
Burnet personally put on his armor and went into battle, leading his family's elite guards to fight against the evil cult followers that swarmed over.
Relying on his powerful strength.
Very soon, the cultists on the east wall were all killed.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Seeing their lord being so brave, the morale of the other Panshi City soldiers was greatly boosted.
Work together.
Kill all the cultists who climbed up the city tower.
However…
This was not very useful.
There were too many cultists.
Up to ten thousand.
The cultists they killed were just a drop in the ocean.
Very quickly.
The cultists made a comeback.
They attacked the city tower again.
The tragic sounds of fighting and miserable screams filled every corner of the Monolith City Tower.
