221: That's amazing!

This absence of over three months from Red River Fortress was the first time Renn had been away for so long.

It was early spring in April when he left, and when he returned, it was already the height of summer in July.

After three months, Red River City had become even more prosperous.

On the way, Dora took the Flower Fairy Clan back to her garden, while Renn rode Reck, flying grandly over Red River City to return to Red River Fortress.

Seeing the silhouette of the white wolf flying across the sky, the vassals of Red River Territory, who hadn't seen their Lord for a long time, cheered happily.

On the other side, Alistair and the others also rushed over quickly.

Three months ago, after guarding the Plane Passage for a few days and finding that Renn was in no danger, Alistair and Cecilia returned to Red River Fortress to continue their busy work instead of staying there.

They all had many matters to handle and couldn't stay idle for a moment; waiting by the Plane Passage would have been a waste of time.

At that time, only the Wolf Pack was left to guard the vicinity; the strength of the Wolf Pack led by three Gold Rank Magic Wolves was even greater than a Titled Legion, so their presence near the Plane Passage was sufficient.

Alistair didn't expect that even after being busy for so long, she hadn't seen Renn come out. During these three months, she and Cecilia would occasionally run over to take a look before returning to their work.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. Renn's sudden return today brought immense surprise and joy to Alistair and Cecilia.

Seeing Renn return, Alistair hugged him tightly.

"You're finally back!"

"Mhm!"

Renn comforted Alistair with a few words, rubbed the little head of Cecilia who was standing nearby, and greeted Kapdo and the others before everyone returned to the hall to sit and chat.

Fornal, Bar, and the others reported on the work progress over the past three months.

The population migration from the Green Grass Plane went smoothly and was fully completed.

The area of reclaimed farmland was much larger than planned. This year, the agriculture of Red River Territory showed explosive growth due to the sudden increase in population.

The development of the Green Grass Plane and the Slime Plane was equally smooth, especially the development of the Slime Plane, which provided a large amount of Transcendent Material for the Red River Territory.

After the completion of crimson glory, the enthusiasm of the mages in the Red River Territory increased significantly. The efficiency of the Mage Academy in training mages also rose sharply, and the number of low-level Potion Masters and Enchanters continued to grow.

The production of Enchanted Equipment and potions surged. Especially potions; because of the development of the Slime Plane and the increase in Potion Masters, batches of Black Iron Rank potions were produced and sent to the army.

With the investment of massive resources, Ross's work became much easier, and the strength of the warriors improved rapidly, as if riding a rocket.

To hone the combat effectiveness of the various legions, Ross organized them to continuously hunt down Alien Tribes and any other threatening entities within the territory.

And the results were remarkable!

Ross told Renn that now two of the Three Titled Legions, the Gale Claw Legion and the Storm Steel Feather Legion, had reached five hundred members, and the Frostfang Legion had even reached eight hundred.

Renn was very pleased to learn of the territory's rapid development. After acknowledging everyone's hard work, he arranged several new tasks and then dismissed them to return to their respective duties.

After Fornal and the others left, only Alistair, Cecilia, Kapdo, and Ross remained in the hall.

Anatolis silently appeared by Renn's side after the others left, staring intently at him.

"You've broken through to Legendary?"

"Mhm!"

The simple exchange between Anatolis and Renn caused the jaws of Alistair and the other three to drop.

"Renn, you really broke through?"

Kapdo was the first to lose his composure; his previous sudden thought had actually become a reality.

"Renn, is this true?"

"Big Brother Renn, did you really break through?"

"Lord, are you a Legendary Expert now?"

Facing their inquiries, Renn slightly released his aura, and the unique pressure of a Legendary instantly weighed down on those around him.

Kapdo and the other three felt their bodies become heavy and their breathing difficult; the mana within them became sluggish. Only Anatolis remained unaffected.

"You really did break through. Incredible!"

"That's wonderful, Renn!"

Compared to Kapdo's astonishment, the others were extremely excited and happy.

"Incredible!"

Anatolis circled around Renn. He felt that Renn's aura, despite having just broken through, was actually stronger than his own—and not just by a little bit.

"How exactly did you break through, Renn?"

"Is that Treant expert named Ancient Tree really that powerful?"

"It was actually an accident."

Renn gave them a brief account of Ancient Tree's encounter. After hearing his story, Kapdo wanted to say something but didn't know how to put it into words.

"To think such a thing could happen?"

"You're truly lucky, Renn!"

With Renn breaking through to Legendary, the future of Red River Territory was bright. Even if the dragons attacked again, Red River Territory wouldn't be completely defenseless.

Now Red River Territory had three Legendary Experts, which was almost on par with the three other Grand Ducal families of the North.

"Alright, it's enough that you're happy; there's no need to make it public. Red River Territory is still weak and shouldn't attract too much attention. Besides, I'm only at the Early Legendary Rank. Compared to those veteran Legendaries, my strength is still far behind, not to mention experts like His Majesty the Golden King."

"We still need to develop slowly and accumulate strength!"

Renn didn't let his sudden surge in strength go to his head. He knew there were levels even among Legendaries, and he wasn't yet strong enough to be invincible.

"Master Kapdo and Cecilia, once Dora has finished settling things on her end, she can purify the evil gods curse within your bodies."

Renn hadn't forgotten about the curse in Cecilia's body. Kapdo snapped out of it and nodded; now that the curse could be resolved, he wasn't as agitated as before.

"I knew this day would come, I just didn't expect it to come so soon."

Kapdo still felt like he was in a dream. He really hadn't expected Renn's breakthrough to Legendary to be so fast, so easy, and so Legendary. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that some people were born for legend.

After chatting with them for a while, Kapdo took Cecilia to find Dora to remove the curse.

Anatolis also returned to the Wolfs Nest to cultivate diligently. Renn's breakthrough had stimulated this senior, reigniting the drive in Anatolis, who had become somewhat lax after reaching Legendary.

Renn gave Ross several law crystal fragments for him to take back and contemplate when he had time, laying the foundation for his future breakthrough to Legendary.

Once only Renn and Alistair were left, Renn looked at Alistair with eyes burning like fire.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you want to eat me or something? Just because you've broken through to Legendary and think you're powerful, I'm not afraid of you!"

Alistair's heart trembled under Renn's fiery gaze. She felt a mix of excitement, fear, and joy, her complex emotions tangling into a mess.

Previously, her intimacy with Renn had always stopped short of the final step, but now, facing Renn's burning gaze, she found herself unable to resist.

"Not afraid of me?"

"Then let me show you how powerful I am. I'm going to eat you up completely this time!"

In Alistair's squeals, Renn swept her up in his arms and headed straight for the bedroom.

"It's still daytime, what are you doing!"

"Put me down first, okay?"

Alistair's pleas only lasted for two sounds before her mouth was blocked... Under the summer sun, it was always full of sweat and passion!
