Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

After exchanging pleasantries with Sam for a while, both groups withdrew.

Ron had no intention of keeping him here; this deliberate exposure of his strength was also a form of deterrence.

A fully-fledged knight is already quite powerful, with destructive capabilities far exceeding those of a squire. If they are not killed, the retaliation they face will be catastrophic.

Therefore, battles at the formal knight level are actually rare.

Once Ron demonstrates his strength, the nobles of the duchy will have to change their attitude towards him.

No one could really say anything to a formal knight-level lord who acted arrogantly in the frontier. Within a duchy, he would be entitled to a fiefdom, baron, or even a viscount.

Therefore, revealing his strength this time wasn't entirely out of necessity. Even without this incident, Ron would have revealed it on his own when the opportunity arose. Perhaps it was after he rode the dragon.

After all, there were no more lords around who were worth hiding his strength for and plotting against.

Baron Sam and his gang left the next morning.

Ron barely slept a wink all night. People who frequently do bad things always assume others are like them.

So he went to sleep at the military camp at night.

I got up before dawn and stood on the tower of the manor, looking towards the waterfront. The morning fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything.

Ron sent Robert Cabbage with several teams of scouts to keep an eye on Sam's gang, returning every few hours to report back, until they set off.

The scouts followed them for a long time until noon when Robert reported back, confirming that the enemy had not split up or turned back.

Ron then slightly relaxed the guard on his territory.

"Sir," Robert hesitated for a moment.

"Aren't we just letting them go like this? Won't they bring even more people later?"

Ron glanced at him and muttered to himself, "Another clueless idiot!"

If it weren't for his decent talent, and the fact that he was among the earliest knights to follow Ron, Ron wouldn't have planned to continue training him, fearing that this clever little devil might suddenly come up with a scheme.

As a subordinate, the most important thing is to obey orders and never act on one's own initiative, and fortunately, he is qualified in this respect.

I'm too lazy to explain to him.

Ron stood up and walked to the window. The morning mist had dissipated, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the white flagstones in the yard.

I should go see Elise.

"The manor will remain under martial law for another day."

After giving his orders, Ron led a group of men to the Waterfront Castle.

Elise was already waiting at the castle gates of the waterfront territory, having received the message.

She wore a light purple gauze dress, her hair pulled back, revealing her snow-white neck. Her face showed fatigue, but her eyes remained relatively calm. She visibly relaxed when she saw Ron riding over.

Ron dismounted and walked over.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Elise nodded and followed him. The two entered the castle, and Elise dismissed the servants and closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, Elise threw herself into Ron's arms, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed softly.

"I thought you wouldn't come again... Waaah..."

Ron reached out and hugged her tightly. He didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so he just let her cry it out and vent her emotions.

Elise cried in Ron's arms for a long time, her face streaked with tears, before she finally calmed down.

After Sam and his group left, Ron reviewed all the intelligence Elise had sent, and after comparing it with the reports, he found it was all true. He then once again trusted the woman in his arms.

The other party risked leaking information and has already made a choice between Ron and Earl Bauhinia.

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Elise looked at Ron with teary eyes.

She sobbed as she said:

"I know what you're thinking. He's my father, but after he married me off to Boris, he never cared whether I lived or died."

"I don't have much affection for this nominal father, we've never had any private contact, and I've never told him anything about you," Elise said resolutely.

"I'm no longer a member of the Bauhinia family." Elise raised her head, her eyes a little red, but she didn't continue crying.

"I am yours now."

Ron pulled her into his arms again: "Yes! I believe you!!"

Elise leaned against his chest, her voice muffled.

"I haven't been sleeping well every night while you've been gone."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll give up Linshui Territory." Her voice was very soft.

"I'm also afraid he'll force his way in."

Ron patted her on the back: "It's alright, you forgot I'm a full-fledged knight too!"

"Dealing with a measly newbie is a piece of cake."

Elise raised her head, bit her red lips, and said seductively, "Yes, my man is the best."

Having understood the meaning behind Elise's words, Ron picked her up and carried her towards the bedroom. Elise let out a sweet, bell-like cry, her arms tightly wrapped around Ron's neck.

......

afterwards.

Ron was buried under the avalanche and was having some difficulty breathing.

He struggled to survive before he could breathe some fresh air.

Elise leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

"Ron," she suddenly said.

"Um?"

Will you abandon me in the future?

Ron remained silent for a moment.

"No," he said confidently.

"Then I'll really believe you!!" Elise gazed at him tenderly.

They looked at each other for a moment. Ron looked up and kissed her lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Once the castle in the River Reach is completed, you can move here!"

"If you want to manage the Linshui territory, then continue to do so. If not, you can help out or cultivate within the territory. I'll handle things outside."

"Mmm!" Elise nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Ron stayed in Waterfront that night.
