Guard Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief's Office.

A guard in light armor rushed in without even knocking.

The captain of the guard, Williams Miller, was working at his desk when he glanced up at the disheveled guard and said with some displeasure, "How could you be so clumsy? Anyone who didn't know better would think your mother had gone to see the god of nature."

The guards were used to the commander's way of speaking and ignored him, anxiously saying, "Commander, something terrible has happened! A fierce battle has broken out on Fourteenth Street!"

Williams rolled his eyes. "So, you're here to call me to watch the show?"

"no."

The guard was extremely anxious and stamped his foot on the spot: "It's the son of the Western Duke. He got into a conflict with someone and beat them up with four guardian knights. There was also an Earth Knight with him. As you know, usually only the guard captain is a guardian knight in the jurisdiction. The others are knight squires. They can't stop him."

"Oh." Williams yawned. "That guy's a spoiled brat, pampered by his father. Let him be beaten; it'll save us from trouble."

"Oh dear, the one who got beaten is the nineteenth young master, Baron Connors Jon. You'd better hurry, or something might happen... Hey, where is he?" The guard blinked and there was no one behind the desk. He looked around and the office was empty.

At that moment, Williams suddenly appeared in front of him again, slapping the guard on the head repeatedly while cursing:

"Next time, I'll start with the key information!"

......

hurry up!

hurry up!

Faster!

Electricity crackled around Vivian as she carried Vanessa on her back, speeding down the road like a bolt of lightning, the surrounding scenery flashing by.

She was extremely anxious.

Having been struck by the Earth Knight, she knew all too well how vast the chasm between the Guardians and the earth was, and that she was utterly powerless to stop it.

Lord Connors was left alone, facing extreme danger.

As I thought about it, tears welled up in my eyes, only to be swept away by the wind blowing in my face, leaving a few teardrops in the air.

If only Vivian were a little stronger... Vivian only knows how to fight, she can't even do this one thing well... Lord Connors, please be safe and sound...

Soon, a magnificent castle appeared on the horizon.

Electric arcs crackled wildly across Vivian's body, propelling her to new heights as she transformed into a streak of lightning and hurtled toward the castle.

Upon arriving at the castle gate, the guards recognized her as the little girl who had been with Connors and let her through without any problems.

After asking around, she arrived at Sylvia's door.

Several maids and members of the Natural Holy Court stood guard at the entrance, and they all turned to look at the newcomers.

"Lord Connors has been attacked, and I need to see Miss Sylvia," Vivian said succinctly and anxiously.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go in and ask," the maid said dutifully.

But Vivian thought her movements were too slow. The moment the maid rang the doorbell, Vivian couldn't hold back any longer, and pushed her way through the group and entered.

"Hey, what are you doing? You can't just barge in like that..."

The maids were just ordinary people; they were no match for Vivian, a guardian knight.

The commotion attracted the attention of Sofia and Sylvia inside the room.

"Sir, she insisted on forcing her way in, and we couldn't stop her," the maid said in frustration.

Sylvia frowned, somewhat displeased, but when she saw Vivian covered in blood and Vanessa unconscious with numerous wounds on her back, she realized something was wrong.

She dismissed the maids and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Sofia then came over, helped Vanessa down from Vivian's back, laid her flat on the ground, checked her injuries, and then sang a line in a divine, almost murmured, holy voice:

【Life's Radiance】

Immediately afterwards, Vanessa's body began to be covered with a green light, and her bruises and wounds began to heal and disappear little by little.

A vibrant greenery bursts forth inside the house.

Vivian's mouth gaped open slightly; it was the first time she had ever witnessed magic.

After the light faded, Vanessa's breathing gradually became steady, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, as if a nightmare had been dispelled.

Sophia then cast the same spell on Vivian, healing her injuries as well.

"What exactly happened? What's wrong with Connors?" Sylvia frowned.

Sophia turned her gaze toward Connors when she heard his name.

After quickly recounting what had just happened, Vivian said urgently, "Please, Lady Sylvia, go and save Lord Connors!"

Sofia was indignant after hearing this.

This is outrageous! People like this should be sent to see the God of Nature so that our God can teach them a lesson.

Sylvia's face turned cold. How dare someone attack a member of the Jon family in Walled City? They had some nerve.

"I see."

She turned and walked onto the balcony.

"I'm going too!" Sophia quickly caught up.

Sylvia nodded slightly and reached out to put her arm around Sofia's waist.

He then took a step forward and disappeared from the balcony.

......

The streets were deserted, filled with a chilling atmosphere, and covered in solid ice.

Clang clang!

The sound of fierce swords clashing rang out, as if a thousand troops were trampling across the earth.

The icy blue light charged wildly under the siege of the four knights, but it could not break through the encirclement no matter what it did. Gradually, it began to struggle and was like a trapped beast fighting.

Connors was not in good condition at the moment; his face was pale, and the sword he had conjured from frozen air was on the verge of breaking.

On the other hand, the four knights on the other side were almost unharmed thanks to their tacit cooperation, with only a layer of frost covering their armor.

Why isn't Sylvia here yet...? Connors gritted his teeth and stomped his foot heavily.

On the ground around him, ice spikes spurted out diagonally in all directions like a hedgehog.

The knights were forced to retreat.

After this move, Connors's magical power was completely exhausted.

As the adrenaline subsided, a wave of intense fatigue washed over him, causing his body to go limp and he to kneel on the ground, breathing heavily and feeling dazed.

This was Connors' first real life-or-death struggle, and the result was not very good.

Suddenly the light dimmed, and a figure walked in front of him, blocking the sunlight.

"Bang!"

Aris kicked Connors, sending him flying. He was also a Guardian Knight, and his kick was incredibly powerful.

Connors struggled to sit up and couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Heh, this is what happens when you mess with me. Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Aris said with his usual smug smile.

In any case, things will turn out the way he wants, whether in the past, present, or future.

He is God!

He can do whatever he wants!

At that moment, the Earth Knight who had been guarding him suddenly stepped to the side, blocking Aris's path, his expression serious:

"Sir, someone's here!"

next second.

boom!

A figure crashed down in front of the two like a meteorite, creating a large crater in the ground.

Williams slowly stood up, glanced around at the scene, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Connors was still alive, but his complexion was still not good.

As the captain of the Great Wall City Guard, he allowed the Duke's son to be beaten in his own territory, which was a serious dereliction of duty. Although he had rushed here as quickly as possible, it did not change the established facts.

Williams couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the Duke's methods.

No! I have to do something to fix this!

Williams' face was cold and stern. He remained silent, flames rising from his body as he immediately began to fight.

Connors heard a loud "bang," the earth cracked, and Williams disappeared from the spot.

Aris's Earth Knight suddenly raised his greatsword towards an empty spot ahead, and the sword and shield rose.

boom!

The next second, a pair of fists burning with flames slammed into the sword and shield.

Bang bang bang... Williams' fists then became afterimages, and hundreds of ripples simultaneously appeared on the surface of the sword and shield.

The fiery fist slammed into the sword and shield at speeds exceeding visual range, unleashing a violent gale every second.

The ice on the street began to melt rapidly, and the air was distorted by the intense heat, with a faint smell of burning.

So fast... Connors stared wide-eyed, but he couldn't make out Williams's speed no matter what he did.

He knew this captain; rumors said he was unrestrained, loved freedom, and had an incredibly sharp tongue. He was good at slacking off and cracking jokes.

He's a seasoned veteran who's good at Tai Chi.

But I didn't expect them to be so strong.

But... why are you aiming at its turtle shell? Connors asked, puzzled.

But as time went on, signs of melting began to appear on the sword and shield.

Aris's Earth Knight's expression changed slightly.

His flames are getting stronger!

Just then, their expressions suddenly changed simultaneously, and they instantly separated, looking to one side in tacit agreement.

There, a pretty figure appeared out of nowhere.

Connors saw it and immediately burst into tears.

You rascal, you've finally arrived.

Just then, vines sprouted from the ground around him.

The vines, like tentacles, wrapped around his waist, lifted him up, and carried him to the roof.

"Baron Jon, we're not late, are we?" A familiar voice rang in our ears.

Connors was still bewildered by the scene when he heard the familiar voice, turned around, and looked surprised:

"Sophia?! What are you doing here?"

"Of course I came here specifically to save you," Sophia smiled gently, waving her staff. "Let me heal your wounds first."

A magical glow emerged, and divine incantations floated in the air.

【Life's Radiance】

Connors was instantly enveloped in a green light, and he felt as if his body was soaking in a hot spring, with his injuries healing at a visible speed.

Sylvia observed the situation and made a judgment in less than a second.

Then she vanished in a flash.

next second.

She appeared before Aris, a wisp of fire emanating from her hand.

A few seconds later, the heads of the five knights fell off one after another. The joints of their necks looked as if they had been scalded by a hot gun, but not a drop of blood flowed out.

Aris looked at the head that had rolled down beside him, let out a cry, and collapsed to the ground, his face pale and his eyes filled with terror.

Connors clicked his tongue in amazement, realizing that his fourth sister's strength was a bit too exaggerated.

He instantly killed four Guardian Knights and one Earth Knight.

He stretched his limbs and was about to jump off the roof when Sophia grabbed his sleeve: "Take me down with you."

"Can't you go down by yourself?" Connors asked.

Sophia shook her head: "A mage's advancement does not enhance their physique, so most mages only focus on cultivating meditation techniques, and their physiques are generally quite weak."

Connors suddenly realized what was happening. He picked Sophia up and lifted her off like a sandbag.

Sofia blushed slightly after putting it down.

What an embarrassing pose.

Connors looked at Aris, who was slumped on the ground, and was immediately furious.

He walked over, grabbed his collar, and gave him a good beating.

"Aren't you very arrogant?"

"Didn't you say that anyone who messes with you will die?"

"Come on, kill me right in front of the two Earth Knights and the Archmage!"

Connors said as he slapped him.

After venting his anger, Aris's face was swollen like a pig's head from being slapped, but this injury was nothing to the guardian knight, and his consciousness was still perfectly clear.

Aris dared not utter a sound; he could feel himself being locked onto by two powerful auras.

However, the humiliation he suffered was worse than death. From childhood to adulthood, everyone had always been obedient to him, and he had never been treated like this before.

At this moment, Sophia squatted down, resting her soft chin on her hand, and asked in confusion, "The Grand Duke of the West is so intelligent, are you really his son?"

She didn't understand what was going on, how could someone lay a hand on someone else in their own home?

Sophia thought to herself, "The Grand Duke of the West must have been cursed by the God of Nature when he gave birth."

Aris lay on the ground, feeling deeply humiliated by the three condescending gazes that scrutinized him. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Sylvia then said, "Although I know you want to kill him, we can't. He is the only son of the Duke of Rosemont. If he dies in Great Wall City, he will probably fight us to the death."

"Why would a Sky Knight only have one son?" Connors asked, puzzled.

As is well known, each time a knight is promoted, their physical strength increases in many ways, including their reproductive ability.

It can be said that the Sky Knights' reproductive ability is also at the Sky Knight level; if they wanted to, creating a battalion of offspring would not be a problem at all.

As far as he knew, apart from his duke father, the two dukes in the North and East each had four or five children, which was a relatively normal number.

How could there be a situation where there is only one offspring?

That's not very knightly.

Sofia looked over at that moment, her eyes gleaming with a burning desire for gossip.

She joined the Holy Court a long time ago, so she wasn't very clear about the secrets of such high-ranking nobles, but that didn't stop her from being very interested in it.

Sophia comforted herself, believing that the god of nature felt the same way. "I'm just listening on behalf of the god of nature."

Upon hearing this, Sylvia hesitated for a moment:

"It is rumored that the Duke of Rosemont was assassinated in his early years, and since then he has had no more children."

Connors suddenly realized.

It turns out the chicken was injured.

"Lady Sylvia." Williams stepped forward and bowed.

Sylvia turned to look at the captain, scrutinized him for a moment, and said calmly, "Not bad, Captain Williams, your response was very quick. I believe the Duke will have less to worry about in entrusting the security of Giantwall City to you."

"After I return, I will appropriately increase the budget for the guards. I hope the commander-in-chief will not disappoint Lion Keep's expectations."

Williams smiled and said, "It is my honor, Lady Sylvia."
