The Guards swiftly moved, holding up Round Shields to protect the Earl of the Tulip’s tent from behind.

The Shields formed a wall, blocking the Arrows that followed!

"Clang clang clink!"

The crisp sounds sent chills down everyone’s spine.

The Earl of the Tulip was no exception, ducking his head behind the Shield.

"The enemy is to the west, we retreat east!"

The Earl of the Tulip ordered in a low voice.

But just as his voice fell, heavy footsteps came from the darkness.

Countless dark figures appeared at the edge of the mist, stopping with their Shields raised around them.

"I don’t want to kill you, Earl of the Tulip."

The young voice carried a barely suppressed anger, shouting: "Surrender now and stop resisting, I only want to use you to get my father back!"

"That voice... are you Putson?"

The Earl of the Tulip was extremely shocked!

Because Putson was the third son of the Duke of Flowers, who had always had a good relationship with the Earl of the Tulip!

"I never intended to hide it, Earl of the Tulip. Your son, Luo De, captured my father."

Putson said calmly: "Now I naturally have to capture his father."

"So step out yourself, I will not harm you, Earl of the Tulip."

"Putson, you should know, Luo De has no real feelings for the Tulip Clan."

The tulip leaned against the Wooden Shield, sighing, "Capturing me will only bring about more fierce revenge."

"I don’t believe Luo De would disregard your life!"

Putson retorted loudly: "You even received a gift from him at your birthday banquet!"

"That was only out of courtesy." The Earl of the Tulip responded loudly.

"Stop the nonsense, Earl of the Tulip!"

Putson’s tone shifted coldly: "Come out now, or my Soldiers will drag you out themselves!"

"I will never let you hurt my father!"

Before the Earl of the Tulip could speak, Vincent shouted: "Putson, you are nothing but a coward, afraid of Luo De, only daring to come for us!"

"Courting death!"

Putson shouted angrily,

"Kill!"

Shadows at the edge of the mist rushed out from all directions, charging straight at the Guards of the Tulip Clan!

The sound of blades clashing rang continuously, and several fell immediately!

This time, the Earl of the Tulip had brought thirty Guards, all elites of the clan, mainly to guard against deserters and robbers amidst the chaos of war.

However, Putson had also brought clan elites, well-equipped and in greater numbers!

Moreover, Putson had brought two high-ranking Knights!

Ordinary Guards stood no chance against high-ranking Knights, and were soon overpowered!

One Guard after another fell, and seeing the unfavorable situation, the Earl of the Tulip shouted to Vincent: "Find a chance to break through, don’t worry about me!"

"No, Father, I can’t leave you!"

Vincent firmly refused, gritting his teeth as he charged at the high-ranking Knights, "I’ll hold them off, you go first!"

Before Vincent had finished speaking, a blinding flash of light streaked across the sky!

The entire night was illuminated!

Ka-chow!

Several lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking precisely above the Soldiers surrounding the Earl of the Tulip!

"Ahhhhh—"

Screams rang out in succession, and several Soldiers immediately fell!

Their bodies convulsed violently, and the air was instantly filled with the stench of burning flesh!

The sudden change left all the Soldiers frozen in place, their aggressive attack halting instantly!

Even the two high-ranking Knights stopped attacking, quickly retreating!

Putson was also somewhat flustered, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings,

"Who?!

"Come out for me!"

Putson’s voice was filled with panic, and soon a sound of footsteps came from deep within the mist.

Three figures emerged from the fog one after another.

Leading the way was a woman in a plain gray robe, leaning on a cane.

The woman appeared middle-aged, yet her hair was entirely silver.

Behind her followed two young-looking men.

One was tall and thin, resembling a tree trunk, while the other was as burly as a bear, with a massive Warhammer on his back.

"Who are you!"

Putson watched the silver-haired woman warily.

"Put down your sword, child, we don’t wish to harm you."

The silver-haired woman said softly: "The Dawn Society doesn’t like slaughter."

"The Dawn Society?!"

Putson questioned with wide eyes: "My father has given you so much support, and now you seek to stop me?"

"It is because of your father’s support that we have refrained from intervening too much in this war." The silver-haired woman replied calmly.

Facing Putson’s questioning, there was not a trace of anger in the silver-haired woman.

Her voice remained gentle, looking at Putson with kindness, "Withdraw while you still can, before things get out of hand, child."

"Shut up, you hypocritical woman!"

Putson pointed his sword at the silver-haired woman, "Kill them all!"

The Soldiers hesitated for a moment, but orders are like mountains, and they charged at the silver-haired woman!

"Kill!"

"Sigh..."

The silver-haired woman sighed, lifting her cane slightly, "Oden."

As soon as she spoke, the burly man charged out with amazing speed!

His speed was astonishing, completely inconsistent with his massive build!

And during the charge, Oden’s body burst into dazzling white light.

"Bang bang bang!"

Oden crashed directly into the Soldiers’ formation, a gale blowing all the Soldiers in front of him away!

A Soldier wielded a Longsword, slashing at Oden, but it was easily deflected by his Warhammer!

"Clink!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang as the Longsword was knocked away!

Without hesitation, Oden lifted his Warhammer and smashed it down on the Soldier’s chest!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was unmistakable, and the Soldier’s body flew back like a ragdoll!
