Time flows like water.
In the blink of an eye, Half a year has passed.
After this period of vigorous development, the newly acquired territory of the Habsburg family has recovered from the war, recreating the prosperity of the past.
It started to privide a large amount of tax revenue for the Habsburg family.
The three provinces, excluding the taxes that need to be handed over to the Andri Empire.
The Habsburg family can profit up to 2 billion gold coins from it every month.
In addition to the output of other family industries, the Habsburg family can earn more than 35 billion gold coins in a year.
And they couldn't even spend it all.
Seeing the increasing number of gold coins in the family treasury, Rennes didn't want these gold coins to sit and gather dust.
So, he decided to expand the scale and strength of the family's armed forces. (Finally…)
At the same time, he vigorously developed the shadow intelligence organization, expanding its intelligence collection scope to the entire continent.
With substantial financial support, the Habsburg Knights and the Shadow Intelligence Organization quickly expanded like an inflated balloon.
In less than half a year, the number of Habsburg Knights has expanded from less than 50,000 to 500,000.
More than tenfold increase.
And the Shadow Intelligence Organization is even more exaggerated, including various peripheral intelligence members, the number has exceeded 5 million, spreading across the major cities of the empires.
All the old members of the shadow organization have been promoted to core members in place.
The size of this organization has increased by hundreds of times.
Generally speaking, such rapid expansion can lead to significant chaos in the organizational structure, and it may allow a large number of untrustworthy individuals to infiltrate the organization.
The disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
However, Rennes has the system personal force panel, which allows him to accurately understand the degree of control he has over his subordinates.
So whether there is any tampering it is clear for him with a glance.
Therefore, even if the two organizations expand rapidly.
Rennes was not worried that his hard-developed organization will be secretly taken advantage of by others.
In addition to developing family forces.
During this time, Rennes did not forget to sow seeds in his wives.
Under his diligent cultivation, Melita, Jessica, Lifa, and ten other wives became pregnant one after another.
One year later. The Habsburg family would once again have thirteen newborns.
As for Senna and the others, Rennes is still working hard.
He estimated that it will take several years to complete the planting.
The reason it'll take so long is because after his bloodline ascended to the Divine Grade, his reproductive ability decreases, because of the limitation and balance imposed by the laws of the world.
The more powerful and advanced a transcendent creature is, the more difficult it is to reproduce offspring.
Take dragons in general for example.
If dragons had the reproductive ability of mice, they would be pregnant more than ten times a year and give birth to dozens of offspring in one litter.
In less than a hundred years, the dragon race would completely occupy this universe.
Of course, it is more likely that before that happens, the universe will be completely imbalanced and heading towards destruction.
After all, the exponential growth of the dragon race, a legendary and advanced transcendent creature, is unimaginable.
The amount of energy needed just for survival is an astronomical figure, so even if the entire universe's energy were drained, it might not be able to supply it.
Therefore, the universe restricts the reproductive speed of higher life forms.
It is simply normal.
Three months later.
During this time, a major event occurred in the Roland Continent.
An ancient evil creature, the Thousand-Headed Dragon-Snake Yamuna, broke free from its seal.
This ancient evil creature can be traced back hundreds of thousands of years, it is said to have been brought to the Roland Continent by a powerful star realm civilization.
Its true form has over a thousand heads.
Each head can spew out a terrifying poisonous mist with extremely strong corrosiveness, or unleash lightning beams capable of destroying everything, its power is comparable to a 9th level magic.
So when all the thousand heads attack together, it is equivalent to a concentrated bombardment of thousands of 9th level magic spells.
Such a terrifying attack, even a 30th rank half god might not be able to withstand it.
Not only is it powerful in combat, this ancient evil creature also possesses extremely strong regeneration ability.
Even if all heads were blasted into pieces, they could be recovered within five minutes.
In comparison, the troll, known for its fast recovery speed, will instantly be turned into ashes.
So with such formidable combat power, it is almost indestructible.
Combining the two, it created the fearsome and terrifying reputation of the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna.
Like a raging natural disaster, every time it appears, rhis ancient evil creature causes countless lives to wither.
This time is no exception.
According to some rumors, the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna has broken free again.
And it is highly likely that this is a conspiracy by the evil deity, the Spider Queen Goddess Rose.
The reason for such rumors, is that after the breaking of the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna out of it seal, it headed straight towards the Silver moon Forest, where the Elven Empire is located.
Its target was very clear.
You see, according to previous records, wherever the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna goes, it devours everything in its path, completely unrestrained.
By adding the two, even a fool can see that something is fishy.
Clearly, someone is manipulating the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna, specifically targeting the Elven race.
Among the gods and powerful beings, the one with the strongest motive and ability is the Spider Queen Goddess, Rose.
It is well known that after the fall and betrayal of the Spider Queen Goddess from the Elven pantheon, she developed a deep hatred for the Elven race.
Releasing ancient evil creatures to attack the Elves, this evil and insane goddess is definitely capable of such actions.
So under the attack of the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna, the Elven Empire has suffered heavy losses, with nearly a million Elves killed or injured.
For a race with low fertility like the Elves, this is an extremely heavy blow.
And the casualty number is still increasing.
According to common sense, in such a huge crisis, the Elven gods would definitely descend in their divine incarnations or avatars to help the Elven Empire.
However, this time, it is unknown whether they have been hindered by certain factors.
So far, no deity descended to help.
"The waters in the Roland continent are deep!" Rennes thought to himself as he looked at the intelligence collected and summarized by the shadow organization in his hand.
The matter of breaking the seal of the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna clearly involved a large-scale battle among deities and gods.
From the current situation, it is obvious that the deities on the side of the elves are at a disadvantage.
Otherwise, the situation of the elven race would not be so tragic.
After pondering for a moment, Rennes decided to inform Senna about this matter.
After all, Senna is the eldest princess of the elven race and has the right to know about this matter, so Rennes did not want to hide this matter and cause a rift between them.
"The Elven Empire has suffered heavy losses from the attack of the Thousand-Headed Dragon-snake Yamuna?!"
Upon hearing this terrible news, Senna was stunned.
She never expected that her homeland, where she grew up, would encounter such a tragic situation.
After a moment of silence, Senna raised her head and said firmly to Rennes:
"My dear, I want to return to the Elven Empire for a while."
Although she had previously chosen to give up returning to the Elven Empire with her mother in order to be with Rennes, it did not mean that she had no feelings for the Elven Empire.
On the contrary, she had deep affection for the Elven Empire.
After all, it was her homeland where she had lived for nearly a thousand years, it held countless beautiful memories, and her friends were also there.
So upon hearing that the Elven Empire was facing a great crisis, she naturally wanted to go back and contribute to resisting the crisis.
However, Rennes obviously couldn't let Senna go back alone.
This matter is very complicated and extremely dangerous.
If Senna were to go back now alone, she would very likely put herself in danger.
"Okay!"
"But I must go with you."
Facing Senna's determined and hopeful gaze, Rennes spoke directly.
He decided to accompany Senna on this journey to protect her from harm, it is his responsibility as her man.
