The Purple lic Adventure Team was discussing among themselves, unaware of the current situation.

  At this moment, Rennes was talking with his wife.

  "Rennes, you're back! Did you get injured during the expedition against the monsters?"

  Janice's face was filled with concern.

  She had been extremely worried when her husband went out to fight the monsters.

  If it weren't for Rennes insisting on going, she would never have agreed to let him go on this adventure.

  "Of course not!"

  Rennes pretended to be unscathed and replied.

  He didn't want Janice to worry.

  It was not good for either Janice or the baby in her belly.

  To prevent his wife from noticing anything amiss, Rennes didn't dwell on this topic.

  He quickly changed the subject.

  He half-truthfully recounted his experience in the expedition against the monsters.

  Janice, who had never traveled far, was also very interested in such adventure stories.

  She y on Rennes' chest, listening quietly.

  The two of them cuddled together.

  A day quickly passed.

  After defeating the Wind Fire Tiger, Rennes' life returned to its usual rhythm.

  He spent his days pying with his children and accompanying his wife.

  When he had nothing to do, he would go hunting in the forest around his territory.

  Life was very comfortable.

  As for the development of the territory,

  Rennes had already id the foundation.

  With time, the Eagle Brewery became more and more well-known, and the volume of shipments increased.

  Trade prospered.

  It attracted a rge number of visitors.

  The local vilgers gradually became prosperous.

  Thanks to this, the number of free settlers coming to Eagle Vilge increased.

  The popution of Eagle Vilge grew from over four thousand to over seven thousand.

  And it continues to maintain a high growth rate.

  It is expected that by the middle of next year, Eagle Vilge will become Eagle Town.

  Of course.

  Rennes has a way to expedite this process.

  The knowledge brought from the previous life, if casually utilized, can further develop pilr industries for Eagle Vilge.

  But it's really not necessary.

  In this high-magic world, interests need to be maintained with corresponding strength.

  Without strength, creating too many good things will not only prevent one from enjoying the benefits, but also bring trouble.

  Naturally, he wouldn't do such a foolish thing.

  Now, the most important thing for him is to take care of his wife's health and ensure a smooth birth for the child.

  ...

  Days pass by.

  Janice is getting closer to her due date.

  Just as the Rennes family is preparing to welcome the birth of a new life.

  Three noble lords, accompanied by more than ten guards, suddenly visit Eagle Vilge.

  These three noble lords are:

  Cardia, from the Bck Baron family.

  Igor, from the Yak Baron family.

  Cindira, from the Merk Baron family.

  These three families have an alliance of interests with the Habsburg family and cooperate in selling beer.

  Their retionship is very good.

  The group of people rode into Eagle Vilge.

  "The Habsburg family's territory is developing so fast!"

  Looking at the scene before him, Cardia couldn't help but feel emotional.

  Eagle Vilge has undergone tremendous changes.

  More than a half a year ago, he came to Eagle Vilge for the beer sales rights.

  At that time, Eagle Vilge was full of thatched and wooden houses, with dirt roads everywhere...

  It was simply a poor ordinary mountain vilge.

  And now.

  Those dipidated thatched cottages and wooden houses have all disappeared, repced by more sturdy and beautiful stone houses.

  The uneven dirt roads have been repced by smooth cobblestone roads.

  Various public toilets, commercial streets, and other infrastructure are readily avaible.

  Small vendors selling their wares can be found everywhere along the streets.

  A rge number of vilgers shuttle through them.

  It is a scene of prosperity.

  If it weren't for him being certain that this is Eagle Vilge, he would have thought he was in the wrong pce.

  "Don't be amazed! Let's first pay a visit to Baron Rennes," Igor said calmly.

  Upon hearing this, Cardia and Cindira did not object.

  They did not come here for sightseeing.

  They arrived at the Habsburg Manor.

  The three of them presented their identities.

  The butler dared not neglect them and quickly led the three to the reception room.

  Then, he went to inform Rennes.

  A few minutes ter.

  Rennes arrived.

  "Baron Igor, Baron Cardia, Baron Cindira, what brings the three of you here for a sudden visit?" Rennes asked, surprised to see the three noble lords.

  "Baron Rennes, we have an important matter to discuss with you during this visit," Igor said solemnly.

  "What is it?" Rennes asked curiously.

  "Have you heard about the news of the upcoming border war, Baron Rennes?" Igor asked without directly stating the matter.

  "An upcoming border war?!" Rennes frowned slightly.

  He was not aware of this.

  Recently, his wife, Janice, was about to give birth, and his attention was focused on that.

  He did not participate much in local noble gatherings, so naturally, he was not well-informed.

  "That's right! Two months ago, a super rge iron ore mine was discovered in the western border. Both our Kingdom of Lance and the neighboring Kingdom of Hik believe that the vein belongs to their respective sides."

  "Now the border situation is very tense."

  "It is said that our king has already prepared for war with the Kingdom of Hik."

  Seeing that Rennes is still unclear about this matter, the head of the Merk Baron family, Cindira, expined.

  "What does this have to do with us?"

  Upon hearing this, Rennes became even more confused.

  He didn't understand what these people were trying to express by mentioning this matter.

  What does the western border war have to do with small nobles like them in the southern region?

  Unless the war in the western border is a war of annihition.

  Otherwise, this war would not reach them at all.

  "This war is a good opportunity!"

  "We came here this time to invite Baron Rennes to cooperate with us and participate in this war."

  "By gathering the armed forces of our four families, we will surely achieve remarkable military achievements in this war."

  "Our titles can also be further advanced, while obtaining rger fiefs."

  Igor said excitedly.

  Cardia and Cindira were also the same.

  Hearing this, Rennes understood the reason of their visit.

  However, he was not moved by the beautiful future described by Igor.

  As a former soldier of the Lion Knights Legion, he was well aware of the cruelty and danger of war.

  It is a ruthless meat grinder that devours countless lives.

  Especially in rge-scale wars between nations.

  The armed strength of their four baron noble families is completely insignificant.

  One stroke of bad luck and the entire army would be wiped out.

  "This level of war is too dangerous. I'm sorry, but I can't agree to this cooperation."

  Thinking of this, Rennes immediately shook his head and declined politely.

  With his golden finger, his future is boundless.

  There is no need to risk his life on the battlefield for wealth and glory.
