---- Chapter 3346 Even though Alfredo agreed to join the war, Andrew had no. intention of letting him off that easily. Only after another brutal round of punishment did Andrew finally stop. Alfredo''s face was filled with terror, and there was no trace left of the Sword Saint''s former pride. His entire body trembled, and when he looked at Andrew, it was as if he were staring at a ghost. At Andrew''s current level, crushing a martial god like Alfredo was not child''s y, but it was effortless.


    With Swordhaven Keep officially joining the battle, all of the Eight Ancient Sects of Holtrien were finally on the battlefield outside Azure Gate. Alfredo, Monty, Rupert, Bridget, and Luther''s arrival gave Holtrien''s side a powerful boost of morale. However, in terms of sheer numbers, the Dark ns and the three great Empires still held the advantage. Inside Azure Gate, themand center had been set up. ---- Andrew walked in alongside Alfredo. Originally, Alfredo had refused to walk beside Andrew.


    But when Andrew grew impatient and threatened to rough him up again, Alfredo had no choice but to follow. Seeing Alfredo bruised, battered, and his usually sharp and arrogant face marked up in shades of blue and purple, Luther, who had just arrived at Azure Gate, could not help but ask, "Mr. Topsfield Senior, what happened to you?" Philip and the others, who knew exactly what had happened, had to work very hard to keep their expressions neutral, struggling to hold back theirughter.


    Luna had long been waiting for Andrew''s arrival, and the moment she saw him, she ran over with a bright smile. "Honey, you made it!" Andrew smiled back and gave her cheek a light pinch. Luna nced around the room and then said, "You all have serious stuff to talk about, so I''ll go find Valerie, Nyx, and Rowan. Meanwhile, Alfredo merely snorted at Luther''s question. He flicked his robe, found a seat, and said nothing. Luther smiled and took no offense. His strength and bearing were far beyond Alfredo''s, so he calmly said, "Mr. Topsfield ---- Senior, you should still be careful.


    We alle from the Eight Ancient Sects, and we''re all on the same side here. If you have any difficulties, you can speak up. I''ve got your back, whatever it is." Alfredo shot back without looking at him. "My business is my own. Keep your concern to yourself. Now, can someone tell me why we''e all crowded here? If there''s nothing worth saying, I''d rather not waste my time." Philip cleared his throat. "We invited everyone here to assess Holtrien''s current high-levelbat strength. Also, the armies of the three great Empires are stationed north of Azure Gate.


    That area is under the Cavendish royal family''s defense zone However, the Cavendish royal family alone won''t be able to hold them off, so we need to send reinforcements." Alfredo immediately said, "Swordhaven Keep is willing to go." Philip nodded approvingly. "That would be ideal. Then Mr. Topsfield Senior..." Before Philip could finish, Andrew said calmly, "Swordhaven Keep will remain at Azure Gate to fend off the enemy. You''re not going anywhere." Anger shed across Alfredo''s face, but when his eyes met Andrew''s, he did not dare utter a single word.


    ---- The others felt a chill in their hearts, Even a madman like Alfredo had been subdued sopletely by Andrew. Now, in Holtrien, very few people could withstand Andrew''s words, or rather, his fists. Monty and Rupert, two giants who would normally be treated as honored guests anywhere in Holtrien, sat quietly in the corner. At this moment, they were as quiet as mice. They listened obediently, not daring to interrupt in the slightest.
