Then, Orton charged through the soldier formations like a bulldozer, unstoppable!

Seeing this, the two elite Knights beside Peter immediately tried to attack Orton from both sides, but again the sky flashed brightly, and two lightning bolts struck the elite Knights!

The two elite Knights, far more powerful than ordinary men, screamed and fell, just like regular soldiers!

The only advantage was that their rolling on the ground was more intense, and the lightning didn’t immediately take their lives.

At this moment, Vincent also realized that the newcomers were indeed allies!

"Kill!"

Vincent shouted as he led the remaining Guards towards the enemies!

The tide of the battle reversed in an instant, and Orton, along with the Tulip Guards, proved overwhelming for Putson’s soldiers!

One by one, Putson’s soldiers fell, and the remaining ones retreated in panic!

"Worthless!"

His angry voice had barely fallen when Orton’s figure appeared in front of him!

With a swoosh, the Warhammer swung down from above, sending Putson flying along with his sword!

Putson’s body traced an arc in midair and slammed into the rocks!

"Puh!"

The enormous impact instantly made Putson spit out a mouthful of blood!

His chest plate was already dented, and several ribs were likely broken.

Struggling to rise, Putson found his body completely unresponsive.

After struggling for a while, he once again vomited blood. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Gazing at the approaching Orton, Putson’s eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear.

"No... don’t..."

Putson’s voice was extremely weak, as Orton raised the Warhammer, ready to deliver the final blow.

"Enough."

A silver-haired woman’s voice rang out, and Orton immediately halted.

The silver-haired woman stepped forward, shaking her head at Putson, "Out of respect for your father, I hope you’ll be more rational in the future."

...

The battle was over.

The ground was covered with corpses.

The surviving enemy soldiers had thrown down their weapons, trembling on their knees.

The Earl of the Tulip leaned on his Longsword, gasping for breath.

Vincent stepped forward to support his father’s shoulder, helping him maintain noble elegance.

Both were stained with blood but unharmed.

Soon, the Earl of the Tulip took a deep breath, tidied his collar, and walked slowly to the silver-haired woman.

"Thank you for saving us."

The Earl of the Tulip bowed respectfully and sincerely.

"May I ask who you are..." The Earl of the Tulip asked cautiously.

"This is Miss Selena Pearl, the foremost councilor of the Dawn Society." A tall, slender man said.

The Earl of the Tulip was clearly startled, quickly bowing again, "So you are the Wise Lady, it’s an honor to meet you."

"Thank you very much."

The Earl of the Tulip thanked formally, and beside him, Vincent also bowed earnestly.

"There’s no need to thank me, Earl of the Tulip."

The Wise Lady smiled and said, "It was Luo De who asked me to look after you on the road."

"Ha, just an Earl Clan,"

The tall slender man snorted coldly, "Would the Wise Lady come personally if Duke Luo De hadn’t spoken?"

"Enough, Wright, there’s no need to say more." The Wise Lady interrupted the tall slender man.

The Earl of the Tulip’s smile turned slightly awkward, yet he was inwardly shocked.

Had Luo De anticipated all this?

Or was it strategic foresight?

The Earl of the Tulip couldn’t help but think of giving himself a slap.

The Duke of Flowers had been captured by Luo De, so if his impetuous son vented his anger on him,

Even though the Earl of the Tulip knew Luo De felt nothing for him, others wouldn’t.

How could he have overlooked this matter...

The Earl of the Tulip sighed inwardly, perhaps due to the numerous recent upheavals.

Or maybe he was simply growing old.

"Earl of the Tulip, you don’t need to overthink it. Luo De just asked me to watch over you on the way."

The Wise Lady said to the silent Earl of the Tulip, "I might accompany you on the journey ahead."

"I’d be greatly honored!"

The Earl of the Tulip said respectfully, "May I invite you to travel in my carriage? It’s very comfortable."

Had it been earlier, perhaps the Earl of the Tulip wouldn’t have been so courteous.

But now, the nobles know that spellcasters are truly as powerful as the legends say, who dares to act rashly?

The Wise Lady didn’t say much, just nodded slightly before turning away.

The Guards and servants began to clear the battlefield while the Wise Lady directly sat aside, closed her eyes, and began meditation.

Her two attendants sat beside her, watching everything around.

The Earl of the Tulip immediately ordered the Guards to set up tents for the Wise Lady and had Vincent prepare the tea Luo De had sent before, brewing it and delivering it to the Wise Lady.

This time, it truly was the tea sent by Luo De.

...

...

With the Wise Lady accompanying them, the Earl of the Tulip’s subsequent journey was rather smooth.

Encountering two bands of robbers, they were composed of refugee soldiers, easily handled by the Tulip Clan Guards.

Three weeks later, the convoy arrived safely at Giant Stone City.

Luo De welcomed them at the manor gate, a smile on his face as he looked at the approaching figures,

"Welcome to Giant Stone City, Wise Lady."

Luo De nodded slightly, "It’s been a tiring journey, the guest rooms are ready with hot water, you can rest well."

"You’re too kind, Duke Luo De."

The Wise Lady nodded in response, smiling and saying, "However, I’d like to discuss matters between us first."

"Certainly."

Luo De glanced at Sao and instructed, "Take the Wise Lady to the conference hall."

"Yes, Saint Master."

Sao responded respectfully, then cleared the way, "Please, Wise Lady."

The Wise Lady exchanged a glance with Luo De before entering the manor with Sao.
