Warhammer Wizard

The army of hundreds of thousands of undead retreated to the northwest of the Karnold Icefield. Ren did not let the Duke Guard rashly pursue it, and first sent a team of Lei Casting soldiers to investigate secretly.

It turns out that this is not a tactic and has no pitfalls.

The undead army really retreated.

Even the undead tombs along the way to Lopost were emptied, and the undead army withdrew from this area in a mighty manner and returned to the Karnod Icefield.

Ren's first reaction was a pity.

This war of attrition was like a meat grinder. It harvested the souls of millions of undead, and stored a large number of soul diamonds in the pixel world. At the same time, the Duke Guard has been trained and gained rich experience in actual combat. Although there were more than 500 casualties, the three built divisions have all completed transformation, and there is already a trace of the spirit of the iron-blooded army.

Then, he realized that things were not easy.

"Have you been noticed?" Ren frowned, a little worried in his heart.

The souls of millions of undead have disappeared. This number is inconspicuous in the bottomless abyss, but it cannot be ignored in the main material world.

And the death lord is paying attention behind the scenes. He has the Necronomicon and may have discovered anomalies.

The Death Lord certainly couldn't guess that he could absorb souls, but through various signs, he might feel that something was wrong with this war of attrition. The army of more than one million undead is nothing to him, even if it is to fight for another year, it is no problem, otherwise, how could he give up Lopost so decisively?

Ren thought for a long time, and was not sure what the situation was.

He secretly contacted General Sanavia.

A moment later, the apocalypse knight lurking beside the death lord sent back news that the death lord had returned to the Icecrown Fortress, but she did not know the inside story.

"Pity……"

Ren sighed secretly, but also raised his vigilance, and said in his heart, "Be careful, and try to harvest demons in the future."

The army was ordered to move on.

Because the undead army retreated, there was almost no obstruction along the way. In just two days, the Duke Guard destroyed all the undead tombs along the way and entered the ruins of Lopost.

There are tens of thousands of undead left in the ruins of the city, and they will be wiped out within a few hours.

After a short rest, the Duke Guard started a carpet cleaning, starting from Lopost and spreading out to the west and north step by step. It took more than half a month to clear the undead within 300 miles of the city. The tomb has been cleared.

Since then, this famous city of magic research in the Third Era has been restored and officially brought under Ren's rule.

On the entire east coast of the New World, only the southernmost Sunshine State is still in the hands of the abyss. More than 80% of the territory east of the Balechia Mountains has become the territory of Rennes, with a total area equivalent to ten provinces, if you don't count the Sai Plateau Well, it is close to one third of the empire!

This nearly two-month war, from start to finish, only the Duke Guard and the Knights of the Holy Lance participated in the battle, and the Duke Guard was the absolute main force.

The Ultramarines have not been dispatched, and the Star Destroyer has not been exposed.

The Duke's Guard became famous!

After on-the-spot inspection, Ren made a decision not to build the tower of the magic torch in Lopost, but to build it in a smaller city about 270 miles west of Lopost, named "Albany".

Borost is a coastal city. If the tower is built here, half of the range illuminated by the magic torch will be shrouded in the sea, which is completely wasted.

The tower was built in Albany, and it was able to protect the entire Lopost.

The range illuminated by the magic torch moves inland and can occupy a larger territory. Moreover, Albany has a canal excavated by the Elf Empire. The west of this canal leads to the five largest inland lakes in the hinterland of the New World. In Albany, it meets the great river flowing to Gotham City, all the way to the south, and finally flows into Shield Island Bay. .

Therefore, Albany is the most important river transportation center in the northeastern part of the New World, and the reconstruction of the city will allow the canal to be mastered, re-dredged, and the water transportation system activated.

It can be said to accomplish many things with one fell swoop.

Ren asked the Duke Guard to clear Albany's undead, and then continued to advance westward for a hundred miles before stopping and building a line of defense.

Thundercasting troops stationed in Albany and began building towers at the chosen location.

Because the core of Eola has not yet been manufactured, it will take at least half a year. In order to prevent the counterattack of the undead, the Duke Guard must be stationed in Albany. However, urban construction was not affected at all, and the two cities of Lopost and Albany were rebuilt simultaneously.

It took Rennes half a month to distribute the benefits of rebuilding the two cities to all parties in the empire, and everything was on track.

Early summer.

On the large lawn of the Maringo Manor.

Hundreds of well-dressed guests gathered around, watching a young man and woman stand in front of an archbishop of the Church of the Earth, witnessing their vows to be legally married.

"congratulations!"

The high-ranking archbishop is a legendary high-ranking priest, and a thick book of the earth in his hand sends blessings to the newcomers in front of him.

***…

In the warm applause, the eyes of the guests became more and more immersed in the joy and happiness of the couple, and fell on a tall and handsome young man next to them. His eyes were full of awe, but he did not dare to look at it any more. Move away.

Lord Archon!

Although the newlyweds are the protagonists of today, but in the presence of the consul, no one can ignore his presence.

Ren is naturally aware of all this, but he has long been used to it.

He looked at the happy bride in a luxurious dress and a garland, and glanced at his father, Old Bud, and his mother, Malinda. Both parents seemed very happy, and he couldn't help but snorted. There was a haze.

The bride is his sister Casey, Casey Augustus.

Kathy is not her own sister, but her father's adopted daughter. She is six years younger than herself and is twenty-five years old this year. She failed to become an extraordinary person before.

The average human life expectancy of Ellenus is only in the early fifties, and ordinary people should consider starting a family in their twenties.

Old Bud has been worrying about this, finding a suitable husband for Casey.

But last month, Kathy suddenly announced that she was getting married.

The man came from a noble family, and he was not an ordinary noble, but the grandson of "Earl Happi". Earl Hapubi is a real noble, one of the great nobles that has continued since the beginning of the empire's founding. The current earl is a legendary warlock and an imperial parliamentarian, and his status is extremely noble.

For many years, Earl Harpby was a member of the Mordu faction.

Ren became the consul to form a cabinet, and he was rewarded for his merits. He appointed Earl Happi as the permanent secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, who was Viola's chief assistant.

Earl Harpby has many years of administrative experience, is conscientious and loyal in his work, and is absolutely his own person.

Kathy's marriage to her grandson was a match.

Old Bud and his mother were very satisfied with the marriage, but Ryan saw the clue at a glance. Casey's husband, Garrison Happe, was by no means as innocent as he appeared to be. As declared, willing to do anything for love.

Garrison is a superhuman, a mid-level ranger.

He is one of Earl Happi's favorite grandchildren, but that's all. There are peers in the Happi family who are more talented and stronger than him, and it is almost impossible for Garrison to inherit the earl's position.

And Garrison is a full ten years older than Casey.

He was only a fifth-level ranger at the age of thirty-five, and his potential on the path of transcendence had already reached its end.

This guy's reputation in the family fief is also very bad, the famous playboy, after following his grandfather to the imperial capital, he restrained himself.

But Casey didn't know.

Ren didn't notice this noble son at all before. After investigation, he found out that Kathy and Garrison met during a spring outing a few months ago. Also don't know what happened.

After the spring outing, Garrison makes a violent pursuit of Casey.

Casey, who was just a country girl a few years ago, had never seen such a battle, and soon fell under Garrison's love offensive.

Within a month, the two had a private relationship.

The **** thing is that Casey is still pregnant.

Obviously, this is Garrison's intention, his purpose is obvious, not Kathy herself, but her surname.

Old Bud didn't want to make the scandal public, and Garrison behaved very well in front of him. He was very guilty and expressed his willingness to take all the responsibilities. He really loved Casey and wanted to marry her. Old Bud quickly forgave him, agreed to the marriage.

Malinda has no opinion and is happy for her daughter to marry into the earl's family.

The parents agreed, and Ren had nothing to say.

After the newlyweds took the oath, melodious and beautiful music was played on the lawn, the guests dispersed, gathered in twos and threes to chat, young men and women danced in the middle, and the waiter brought delicious food. The atmosphere was relaxed and solemn. .

This is the first time that Ren has attended a wedding after his transmigration. The process is similar to the Western-style wedding in the previous life, but there are many differences.

Many rituals related to the beliefs of the gods were added to the wedding.

The three gods of the empire are all embodied, but the most important gods at the wedding are the Mother Earth and the Long-haired Lady. The Mother Earth has the priesthood of "breeding", and her priest presides over the wedding, which means reproduction and good health; and The long-haired lady is a symbol of love and cannot be absent.

As the elder brother of the bride, Renne has to participate in several processes and also deliver a speech.

He did everything one by one, sending blessings in his speech.

After that is the banquet.

Ren was sitting with his family, Viola was sitting beside him, and Brissett and Carodi also rushed back from the New World to attend their sister's wedding.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted very hotly.

Old Bud drank a lot of alcohol because he was happy, and was already a little drunk, and his mother Malinda was taking care of him. Also at the same table were the Earl Harpeby family, the parents of the Countess and Garrison, and several other accomplished children of Taylor Harpeby.

Ren's mood is not high, so he doesn't talk much today.

Although he didn't reveal his thoughts, just sitting there put a lot of pressure on everyone. The atmosphere on the seat seemed to be warm, but it was only a deliberately maintained appearance.

"Lord Consul, Your Excellency Minister, I toast you." Tyler Happi stood up and raised his glass.

Ren glanced at the dignified earl and did not respond immediately.

Immediately, everyone in the Hapubi family was trembling in their hearts.

Earl Harpeby froze there, scolding the troublesome grandson in his heart. He knew exactly what Garrison was up to. He had taught him a few times, but he couldn't save it. The fate is even worse.

He sternly warned Garrison that after marriage, he must restrain his mind and serve his wife well.

All the flowers and plants that were provoked outside were cut off.

At the same time, Earl Hapby asked to see the consul many times, hoping to get the consul's understanding and make a guarantee that Earl Hapbie would never treat Casey badly, but the consul never gave the opportunity to meet in private, so that He was walking on thin ice.

This has already shown the attitude.

It wasn't until today's wedding that Earl Harpby met the Consul in person and raised his glass to toast.

Air stagnates.

As soon as the newlyweds sat down, they sensed that the atmosphere was not right. Garrison, who was wearing a well-fitting dress and brought out his handsome face, watched his grandfather standing awkwardly with a toast, and turned his head to meet Ren's eyes. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Casey was still in the dark, wondering: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"fine."

There was a smile on Ren's face, and the pressure suddenly disappeared, which made everyone in the Happi family breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had just been released from suffocation.

"Your Excellency." He stood up. "We will be a family from now on, so there is no need to be so polite."

After he finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it.

"Thank you, Lord Archon." Tyler Happi was in a state of amnesty. He drank the wine in his hand excitedly, his chest kept heaving, he waved his hand to his wife and children, and said happily: "You also greet the consul. A toast, my lord."

The Hapubi family hurriedly stood up and said in unison, "Respect the consul."

Ryan responded with another drink.

The atmosphere at the banquet finally warmed up. The guests at other tables seemed to have made an appointment. According to their status and strength, they came over to toast Ren, cabinet ministers, imperial parliamentarians, governors, and secretaries of various departments. Nobles, shareholders of subcontinent trading companies, etc., in the correct order.

Of course, he did not forget to congratulate the newlyweds. Garrison was complacent and flushed, and Casey took his arm and accepted the blessings of the upper echelons of the empire together.

The wedding lasted in the evening, and there were procedures and activities in the evening.

But Ren just wanted to participate~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Returning to the bedroom on the third floor of the manor, Ren looked at the half-elf who had not been in a high mood all day, and said with concern, "Viola, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Viola shook her head, looking out the window.

She looked at the newlyweds dancing on the lawn, her eyes fell on Casey, and she said nothing, but she couldn't hide the envy in her eyes.

Ren's heart moved, he immediately understood, and asked with a smile, "Do you want children too?"

Viola turned back and snuggled into Ren's arms.

"Um……"

She said softly: "I don't lack anything now. The only regret is that I can't give birth to a child for you. Unfortunately, mine is a half-elf, alas..."

Ren laughed: "Say earlier, I can get you pregnant right away." (To be continued)
