Chapter 249: The Birth Of An Ancient Evil, Thousand-Headed Dragon Snake Yemenrad
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.
Providing a large amount of tax revenue for the Habsburg family.
The three provinces.
Excluding the taxes that need to be handed over to the Andrei Empire.
The Habsburg family can profit 2 billion gold coins from it every month.
In addition to the output of other family industries.
The Habsburg family can earn more than 30 billion gold coins in a year.
Can't spend it all.
Can't spend it all.
Seeing the increasing number of gold coins in the family treasury.
Rennes doesn'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.
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.
Spread 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 the 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 a systematic power panel, which allows him to accurately understand the degree of control he has over his subordinates.
Whether there is any tampering is clear at a glance.
Therefore.
Even if the two organizations expand rapidly.
Rennes is not worried that his hard-developed organization will be secretly taken advantage of by others.
In addition to developing family power.
During this time, Rennes did not forget to sow seeds for his wives.
Under his diligent cultivation, Melita, Jessica, Lifa, and thirteen other wives became pregnant one after another.
One year later.
The Habs family would once again have thirteen newborns.
As for Wenlena and the others.
Rennes is still working hard.
It is estimated that it will take several years to complete the planting.
The reason it takes so long is because after the bloodline ascends to the Divine Grade, reproductive ability decreases.
This is a 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 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 thousand 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.
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.
Even if the entire universe 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.
The ancient evil creature, the Thousand-Headed Dragon-Snake Yemunrad, 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 circle magic.
When all the thousand heads attack together.
It is equivalent to a concentrated bombardment of thousands of 9th circle magics.
Such a terrifying attack.
Even a 30th rank demigod might not be able to withstand it.
Not only is it powerful in combat.
This ancient evil creature also possesses extremely strong immortality.
All heads were blasted into pieces, but they could recover within five minutes.
In comparison,
The troll, known for its fast recovery speed, was instantly turned into ashes.
With formidable combat power, it is almost indestructible.
Combining the two,
They created the fearsome and terrifying reputation of the Thousand-Headed Serpent Yemulade.
Like a raging natural disaster,
Every time it appears,
This ancient evil creature causes countless lives to wither.
This time is no exception.
According to some rumors,
The Thousand-Headed Serpent Yemulade has broken free.
It is highly likely that this is a conspiracy by the evil deity, the Spider Goddess.
The reason for such rumors
Is that after the birth of the Thousand-Headed Serpent Yemulade, it headed straight towards the Silvermoon Forest, where the Elven Empire is located.
The target is very clear.
You see,
According to previous records, wherever the Thousand-Headed Serpent Yemulade goes, it devours everything in its path.
It stands out as being completely unrestrained.
By comparing the two,
Even a fool can see that something is fishy.
Clearly,
Someone is manipulating the Thousand-Headed Serpent Yemulade, specifically targeting the Elven race.
Among the gods and powerful beings,
The one with the strongest motive and ability is the Spider Goddess, Rose.
It is well known
That after the fall and betrayal of the Spider 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.
Under the attack of the Thousand-Headed Serpent Yemulade,
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 this casualty number is still increasing.
According to common sense,
In such a huge crisis, the Elven gods would definitely descend in their 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 in the form of an elf.
"The water here is 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 Serpent Yemulade clearly involved a large-scale battle among deities.
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 Wenerna about this matter.
After all, Wenerna is the eldest princess of the elven race and has the right to know about this matter.
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 Serpent Yemulade?!"
Upon hearing this terrible news, Wenerna was stunned.
She never expected that her homeland, where she grew up, would encounter such a thing.
After a moment of silence, Wenerna 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.
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 Wenerna go back alone.
This matter is very complicated and extremely dangerous.
If Wenerna were to go back, she would very likely put herself in danger.
"Okay!"
"But you must go with me."
Facing Wenerna's determined and expectant gaze, Rennes spoke directly.
He decided to accompany Wenerna on this journey.
This is his responsibility as a man.
