As soon as Chapter 497 finished speaking, Alves, Granville, and Joan of Arc were filled with disbelief.

Even the native inhabitants of the Misty Lands, Noah, Celie, and Doris, were equally astonished.

Having spent so much time in the Bluebird Territory, Noah and the others naturally learned from Alvis's words how powerful the Grey family of Renn was on the outside continent.

The head of the Gray family, who is also Rein's father, is a seventh-tier paladin.

They simply couldn't imagine someone like that being injured and unconscious.

Joan of Arc looked puzzled, her beautiful brows furrowing deeply as she asked:

"Raine, is the information reliable?"

Raine nodded: "It's a mystery... The message from the God of Candlelight himself shouldn't be false."

Upon hearing that the message came from the God of Candlelight to the lord, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Ryan continued, "Alright, I didn't call you here to discuss this; I'm giving you an order."

"Alves".

Standing next to Renn, Alves bowed slightly: "My lord."

"I'll give you two days to tally up how much of the resources and treasures you can take from the Azurebird Territory without disrupting its current state."

“Yes.” Alves nodded.

Granville.

Granville stepped forward and gave a knightly salute: "My lord."

"I'll give you two days to resolve all the matters, big and small, that the Crown Guard Knights have in the Bluebird Territory."

"I will take the Crown Guard Knights away in two days."

“Yes.” Granville nodded and stepped aside.

Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc stepped forward, "Raine."

"This time when I go back, I may need to rely on the power of the Church of Light. I hope you can have a good talk with His Holiness the Pope."

“Yes, I know.” Joan of Arc nodded gently.

After making the arrangements, Renn looked at Noah and the others and slowly spoke.

"Just a few days ago, with my help, the God of Candlelight defeated the God of Mist, and now the Mist faction in the Land of Mist has no leader."

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot.

What Ryan had just said struck everyone like a bolt from the blue.

The God of Mist... is dead!?

And he also has a close relationship with his own lord?

Everyone stood there, stunned, their minds blank, accepting what Ryan had just said.

Ignoring the crowd, Renn continued speaking.

"When I return, I will entrust the Bluebird Territory to Noah and the others. I believe you can govern the Bluebird Territory well."

"Although taking the Crown Guard Knights away will reduce the strength of the Bluebird Territory by more than half, the Mist Faction is no longer a threat and will not threaten my Bluebird Territory at all."

"Even if a force does invade the Bluebird territory, the God of Candlelight will lend a hand, so you only need to take care of the internal affairs of the Bluebird territory."

"I will come back after I have settled things with the Gray family. I hope that by then I will see a better Bluebird Territory than before I left."

Noah and his two companions immediately bowed to Rein and promised, "Yes, sir. Please go ahead. We are here in the Bluebird Territory and will not let you down."

After explaining a few other things to everyone, they all left the room in an orderly fashion.

Soon, only Ryan and Joan remained in Alves's office.

Joan of Arc walked behind Renn, who was sitting on the sofa, and gently massaged his temples.

“Raine, don’t worry too much. Lord Ferde is a seventh-rank official, and the Empire and the Church have a good relationship. With the Pope’s help, Lord Ferde will be fine.”

Raine tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and savored Joan's comfort, letting out a deep sigh: "I hope so..."
