Chapter 103 The Town Defense System Is Completed And The Duke Family Is Destroyed
In the blink of an eye,
Another three months have passed.
Because we couldn't find the passage through which demons entered the Roland Continent,
The number of demons appearing in the River Bay area has been increasing.
From time to time, news of villages being breached and massacred by demons can be heard.
In fact,
It's not just the River Bay area.
Signs of large-scale demon activity have also appeared in other regions of the Kingdom of Lance.
The Rhine region is no exception.
Just a few days ago, a demon army of several thousand ravaged the Rhine region.
This demon army is quite powerful,
Led by a 12th-level berserker demon.
Under its command are hundreds of Kvasi demons and Flo demons, equivalent to advanced Transcendents.
There are also thousands of Fallen demons and Timid demons, equivalent to mid to low-level Transcendents...
Most of the armed forces in the hands of the Rhine nobles cannot match this strength.
Therefore,
At first, this demon army was like entering an uninhabited land.
Burning, killing, and looting all the way.
Destroying dozens of villages and several towns with populations exceeding 100,000.
When passing through the territory of the Habus family in the Harvest City,
This demon army also wanted to have a bloodbath.
However,
The Habus family is obviously not an easy target.
Upon receiving news of the demon invasion,
Rennes immediately went to support the Harvest City.
After arriving,
With just three moves, Rennes wiped out the entire demon army.
Unfortunately,
During the time he rushed over, most of the crops in the farmland outside Harvest City were destroyed by these demons.
The losses were not small.
With the territory under attack by a large group of demons, Rennes felt an even greater sense of urgency.
While increasing the production of magic crystal cannons, he also began to set up protective magic arrays for other towns.
Eagle City and Iron Furnace City have magic enchantments guarding them.
Rennes only needs to set up magic arrays for the five cities of Blue Moon City, Harvest City, Salt Well City, Flower City, and Red Cedar City.
However.
Even so, Rennes' work is still very long.
After all.
As the guardian magic array of the town, its size certainly cannot be small.
Without the help of other magicians.
To set up such a large magic array, Rennes would need at least half a month.
Therefore.
During this period of time, Rennes was extremely busy.
Of course.
No matter how busy he was, Rennes would not forget about having children.
With Rennes' efforts.
Katie, Lifa, Frena, Betty, and Lashinu will not be left behind again.
If nothing unexpected happens.
Ten months later, he will be able to receive at least five system rewards again.
By then, his strength will definitely be greatly improved.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
The number of demons appearing in the Kingdom of Lance is increasing.
And their quality is also rapidly improving.
Advanced demons above the 10th rank are no longer rare.
In this situation.
The situation in the Kingdom of Lance has become more severe.
If it weren't for the three transcendent knight orders of the Kingdom of Lance attacking and suppressing these demons everywhere.
I'm afraid the order of the Kingdom of Lance would completely collapse and lose control.
However.
From the current situation.
The order maintained by the three transcendent knight orders of the Kingdom of Lance probably won't last much longer.
As time goes by.
The number and quality of demons continue to increase.
Just when the outside world is undergoing great changes.
Rennes is not idle either.
In addition to eliminating the demons invading the territory, he spends every day setting up protective magic arrays.
Until now, he has finally successfully completed the magic arrays of all five cities.
Due to the urgency of time.
The functions of the protective formations set up by Rennes are all very simple.
They include shield defense, flight prohibition, and wall reinforcement.
Everything is aimed at preventing demons from crossing the city walls.
As for the offensive aspect.
Having magic crystal cannons and city defense artillery is enough.
In the past six months.
Rennes and the arsenal craftsmen worked together to manufacture fifty-eight magic crystal cannons.
They were distributed to seven cities.
Each city has at least eight cannons.
Combined with the completed taller and thicker city walls.
As long as there are no large numbers of high-level demons attacking.
Low-level demons will be killed as they come.
It is simply impossible to break through these cities.
If a large number of high-level demons invade, these towns can also withstand for a period of time until Rennes' reinforcements arrive.
After the defensive system of the territory was initially set up.
Rennes finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However.
Before he could be happy for too long.
Rennes received shocking news.
The high mountain city where the Eglan Duke's family is located has been captured by the demon army.
Millions of people have been devoured by demons.
Only less than a hundred thousand people managed to escape from the Eglan Duke's territory.
Upon receiving this news, Rennes was stunned.
You should know.
The Eglan family is one of the only seven ducal families in the Kingdom of Lance.
It has been passed down for over six hundred years.
The family's strength is extremely strong.
Not only do they have a Sky Knight guarding them, they also have over ten extraordinary individuals at the Earth Knight level.
Who could have imagined.
That such a powerful Eglan Duke's family would suddenly fall like this.
After coming back to his senses.
Rennes carefully examined the intelligence sent back by the Shadow Organization through the Gale Wind Falcon.
Soon.
He understood the general course of events.
Originally,
There were hundreds of demon worshippers lurking in the mountain city.
These demon worshippers sacrificed themselves and opened a temporary portal to the abyssal plane above the mountain city.
The demon lord on the other side of the portal had long been preparing.
Although its true form was too powerful to descend onto the Roland continent through this portal,
It reached out through this temporary portal and with a single strike, leveled the lord's mansion in the mountain city.
Most of the Igren family's high-level combatants perished.
The command system was paralyzed.
In this situation,
Without even lasting ten minutes, the mountain city was breached by an army of over a hundred thousand demons.
"The Kingdom of Lance is going to be in chaos."
Setting down the parchment recording the intelligence, Rennes took a deep breath, his eyes filled with seriousness.
The fall of the Igren family's territory would have far-reaching consequences.
Not to mention anything else,
The flesh and souls of the millions of people on the Igren family's fiefdom would definitely be used by the demon army.
Used to create even larger demon portals.
Allowing more and more powerful demons to come to the Roland continent.
By then,
The fragile order barely maintained by the Kingdom of Lance would definitely be completely shattered.
At that time,
Countless terrifying demons would rampage across this land.
Imagine that scene.
Rennes also felt a chill in his heart.
However,
This magical disaster sweeping across the Roland continent has too wide a coverage.
Obviously, it is not something that he, a transcendent who hasn't even stepped into the legendary realm, can solve or stop.
In this catastrophe,
Being able to protect his family and his own territory is already good enough.
Regaining his thoughts,
No longer thinking about these trivial matters.
In order to prevent the tragedy of the Igren family from recurring in the Habs family,
Rennes immediately ordered the Shadow Organization to secretly investigate the people in several towns within the territory.
Once someone is found to be behaving suspiciously, they will be immediately executed on the spot.
