Northeast of Azure Gate lay the stronghold of the Cavendish royal family. Right now, the Cavendish royal family was facing off against the three great Western empires: Mirelan, Soraine, and Fraines. Among them, the Mirelan Empire stood at the top, unmatched in power, while the Soraine Empire, just like its name suggested, had already begun to decline and no longer carried its former glory. As for Fraines, it was the most unpredictable empire on the Western continent, sometimes fierce and dominant, and other times surrendering so quickly that it barely looked like a major power at all.Andrew and Nyx brought Asher with them as they stepped into the territory of the Cavendish royal family.Almost immediately, elite members of the Cavendish royal family spotted Asher. Shock flashed across their faces, but they stayed calm on the surface and quietly turned around to report the news.Andrew smiled faintly and said, "The Cavendish royal family really has eyes everywhere. We just arriv

Asher was the first one through the door, but he did not walk toward Atticus or greet anyone in the hall. Instead, he stepped to the side and gestured respectfully behind him. "Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Kerrigan, please, come in."Andrew and Nyx then walked into the Cavendish family stronghold, surrounded on all sides by nearly all of the family's top experts. Immediately, hostile gazes shot toward them from every direction.Andrew remained calm and walked straight to the end of the grand hall, then stopped. After that, he greeted, "Patriarch Atticus, I'm Andrew of the Lloyd royal family."Atticus stared at Andrew, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he did not speak.The martial god from the Cavendish family, who had spoken earlier, let out a cold snort. "Mr. Lloyd, you sure made quite an entrance, coming alone to the stronghold of the Cavendish royal family. Do you think the Cavendish family has no one worth worrying about, or are you just that full of yourself?"Andrew replied calmly

Atticus paused when he passed Andrew. He hesitated for a brief moment, then said with great respect, "Your reputation is unmatched in Holtrien. As for the grudge between you and the Cavendish family, since Asher has spoken like that, I am not someone who fails to see the bigger picture.""So from this moment on, we are even. Whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you."After saying that, he walked past Andrew and headed straight toward the battlefield.Nyx looked at Andrew and said, "Since the Cavendish family has already said their part and cleared the air, why should we stick around? Come on, honey. Let's go."However, Andrew shook his head and replied, "Nyx, let's watch for now. The combined forces of the three empires are no joke. If the Cavendish royal family can't hold the line, I'll have to send reinforcements here. Otherwise, if the Cavendish family falls, the entire eastern front of Holtrien will collapse."Nyx let out a cold snort, clearly unwilling. Yet, she truste

Andrew did not pause for even a second. As soon as he pulled back his blade, he swung it brutally toward the remaining one of the Twin Demons. The two martial gods rushing in to rescue him were furious beyond measure. Naturally, they refused to let Andrew succeed again. They charged in at full speed, and before they even arrived, massive waves of palm force tore through the air and smashed toward Andrew's head.Andrew let out a cold laugh, and the strike that had been aimed at finishing the second twin suddenly shifted direction. He spun smoothly and redirected the blow straight at one of the two rescuing martial gods.The man screamed in terror, spat blood, and was sent crashing toward the ground like a bent bow.With a single strike, Andrew wiped out his combat power completely."Two more, surround and kill this kid!" a black-robed martial god rasped.He had originally been teaming up with another to pressure Atticus, but now he suddenly withdrew and called over two more marti

Andrew said, "Patriarch Atticus, judging from the current balance of power, I'm going to say something blunt. The Cavendish royal family may not be able to hold the northeastern front line. So the Cavendish family will still need reinforcements."Atticus smiled and replied, "Mr. Lloyd, what you said is the truth, and I'm grateful rather than offended. Come, let us withdraw to the Cavendish family headquarters first. As for how to respond next, we will have to rely on you, Mr. Lloyd."…Inside the command center of the three empires, a martial god dressed in black stood covered in blood."That man on Holtrien's side was far too troublesome. The five of us surrounded him and still could not do anything to him."The black-clad martial god raged, "Not only that, he took the chance to kill several of our people. Marshal Cassata, it seems only you can step in personally. Otherwise, it'll be tough for us to seize Holtrien's northeastern stronghold quickly."The command center fell silen
