Northern Forest.

The figure of the Nine-tailed Fox was running swiftly.

It wasn't until they delved deeper into the forest that David breathed a sigh of relief and ended the transformation.

This time, going to Beibing City to rescue the witches and confronting the Church indeed posed significant risks.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly.

The Church never expected that this time it would be met by an Earth Mage.

Relying on the Earth Escape ability indeed saved a lot of trouble.

And in the subsequent battles, it was fortunate to have just broken through the Tier Five Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline.

Thinking about the powerful boost to spiritual power from the Tier Five Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline made his heart surge with heat.

It seems that upon returning, he must work harder with Cynthia to cultivate, striving to elevate the Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline to Tier Six.

After resting a bit in the forest, he continued rushing towards the Crystal Song Forest.

This time, he rescued three witches.

And almost killed Hillman, the Church would surely hunt him down with all its might.

Thinking about this, he didn't dare to linger in the Northern Forest.

However, without the Ghost Wolf Beast as his steed, returning to Frost Wolf Ridge would take considerable time.

Fortunately, along the way, he found a Gray Wolf Pack and, using the Power of Domination from the Wolf Race, quickly subdued them.

Relying on the Spirit Contract, he also sent the forest animals to scout the situation.

Everything was indeed as he had expected.

Knights were already stationed near the Northern Fortress, and it seemed the situation around the Crystal Song Forest was similar.

The Church must have assumed he would take the witches to the Far North, never guessing his target was Frost Wolf Forest.

Thus, his journey was quite uneventful.

By the time he returned to Frost Wolf Forest, nearly five hundred Gray Wolves were following him!

This brought the number of Gray Wolves in Frost Wolf Forest to one thousand.

This is the power of domination from the Tier Six Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline and high-level Beastification ability!

With proper training for these Gray Wolves, they would form a thousand-strong Wolf Cavalry, and with excellent armor, they could traverse the Northern Lands unchecked.

If he mounted a Tier Five Ghost Wolf Beast leading a charge with a thousand-strong Wolf Cavalry, even the most elite Kingdom Army might not withstand a single round of assault!

"Finally back." David breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, successfully rescuing the witches and confronting the Church marked a perfectly completed rescue mission.

...

Wizard Castle.

The three witches had all been settled.

Yet David had not returned, causing everyone to worry endlessly.

Though they all had great confidence in the Lord, they couldn't help but worry.

After all, it was the Church.

This time, Lord Duke faced the Church head-on for the sake of rescuing the three witches.

The Church.

Just thinking about it filled the witches with despair.

For countless years, it had always been a mountain pressing upon the witches.

And now, the Lord had to face this mountain directly, the dangers of which were unimaginable.

Liya, Amy, Cynthia, Hill, and Annie often waited at the door.

Reina continued helping with administrative matters in the territory during the day.

In the evenings, she would come to the Wizard Castle to wait with everyone.

Ye Zi, along with Lingnai, Melissa, and Sofia, kept watch inside the castle.

At this time, it should indeed be left to Lord Duke's wives to guard here.

"I never thought the Master Wizard was indeed Lord Duke Frost Wolf."

The three witches, upon learning the situation, couldn't help but express their admiration.

However, in the Northern Lands, only Lord Duke had the power to shelter so many witches, helping them to establish their own Wizard Castle.

"I hope Lord Duke can return safely."

Lingnai couldn't help but pray softly.

She still couldn't forget that departing figure.

If not for Lord Duke taking them out of Beibing City and intercepting the pursuers midway, they couldn't have possibly made it here.

Their lives, one could say, were saved by Lord Duke.

She suddenly felt a bit envious of Sister Annie and the others.

They could openly await Lord Duke's return, rather than praying silently.

"He definitely can." Ye Zi nodded.

She had witnessed the might of Duke Frost Wolf with her own eyes.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the window.

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she saw a figure slowly coming into view at the edge of her vision.

"Lord Duke!" she murmured softly.

At this moment, at the castle gate.

Liya, Amy, Reina, Cynthia, and Hill had already gone to greet him.

Annie lingered at the back, her face showing some hesitation.

Even though she had made her decision.

But she still hadn't truly moved into Frost Wolf Castle, unlike Liya and the others who were wives of Duke Frost Wolf.

Seeing the familiar castle, David finally let out a relaxed breath.

Seeing all his wives coming out to greet him, he immediately embraced everyone.

He knew they must have been terribly worried in his absence.

After hugging everyone, David looked towards Annie who stood frozen in the distance, smiling:

"What's the matter? Aren't you going to give me a welcoming hug?"

Annie was taken aback when she heard him.

Then, she finally ran over quickly, plunging into that warm embrace, clinging tightly, unwilling to let go.

"There, there, didn't I return safely?"

David gently patted Annie's back, comforting her.

Then, he gathered the others into his embrace, offering consolation to each one.

Once everyone calmed down, he led them back into the castle.
