Chapter 529 In That Case, Die!


    ording to the information that Anvich knew, King of the West, Commander Gardner, had led a few of hisrades into the hearnd of several countries in the past year alone. The elder of Oriana had beer beheaded in his own headquarters by King of the West, Commander Gardner, despite having tens of thousands of troops stationed nearby. In the end, King of the West, Commander Gardner, had walked away unscathed. Furthermore, a few months ago, Oriana had sent their Prime Minister and officials from the Ministry of the Interior to vale''s capital to negotiate the matter. What was the result? All of them were killed, and Oriana had yet to make a peep. The Royal Pce of the Shadond, on the other hand, had been trampled upon by King of the West, Commander Gardner twice. Their monarch, who had a terrible temper, had nowpletely submitted. In addition, the southern neighbor of vale, Nanrania, had shown some backbone but still refused to submit. As a result, nearly 200, 000 troops were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the top eight ranked strongmen within the country were all beheaded by King of the West, Commander Gardner. After this battle, Nanrania''s strength had been pushed back by twenty years. Could all these achievements be aplished by a Commander who was merely a promoted star for the purpose of creating a god? If he had a choice, he wouldn''t want to conflict with King of the West, Commander Gardner, even if he were forced. However, his position required him to do certain things. A hundred years ago, Aqundia had been one of the participating countries in vale''s cmity, and once vale''s fortune rose, it was bound to settle old scores with Aqundia. Therefore, they had to find a way to prevent vale from rising again.


    In less than an hour, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the vale gate.


    "Commander Gardner!"


    When the thousand Galewind Squadron soldiersid eyes on Billy, they collectively dropped to one knee and cheered at the top of their lungs. They had already received word that Commander Gardner would be visiting the northern borders, and their hearts were filled with anticipation. Although they were soldiers from the North, their admiration and respect for King of the West remained unwavering. He was a prominent figure in vale, a true symbol of the nation''s strength and resilience, deserving the reverence of every vale citizen.


    "No need to be too formal, please get up." Billy said to the crowd, raising his hand slightly.


    "Thank you, Commander Gardner!" The crowd shouted again.


    "Commander Gardner!" James Harper, along with Phil Santiago and four Legion Commanders, quickly went to meet him. After arriving, he also greeted Casey and Azure Dragon.


    "Hello, Commander Gardner!" James Harper and the four Legion Commanders saluted.


    "General Harper, how are you and your men? How are your injuries?" Billy nodded slightly before asking.


    The situation on-site was critical, so he didn''t have much time for small talk with James Harper and the others.


    "Thank you for your concern, Commander Gardner. We are fine, just minor injuries!" James Harper shook his head. After a brief pause, he spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I apologize, Commander Gardner. I couldn''t protect General Wilson..."


    "Don''t me yourself, General Harper. Aqundia clearly came prepared this time." Billy interrupted him. He then took out several healing pills from his body and handed them to James Harper. "Please take these pills to recover slightly, and I''ll handle the rest of the matter!"


    "Thank you, Commander Gardner!" James Harper epted the medicine and handed it to Phil Santiago and the others.


    "Let''s go meet them." Billy said and led the group towards the people from Aqundia. Soon, they arrived at a point about two hundred meters away.


    "Commander Gardner, I am Anvich from Aqundia''s War Department!" Anvich, the second-inmand of the Aqundia War Department, recognized Billy and greeted him loudly after taking a deep breath. "Where''s General Wilson?" Billy nced at him and asked in a cold tone.


    "Lord Rukchi invited General Wilson to our camp as a guest." Anvich responded.


    "You have half an hour to safely return General Wilson," Billy said sternly. "Otherwise, every one of you here will meet their end."


    "Quite the bravado," a taller of the two War God-Emperors spoke up. "You must be King of the West, Commander Gardner from vale. vale hypes you up, but I don''t see anything special about you." "Watch how you speak to Commander Gardner!" a Northern Legionmander angrily pointed his finger at the man.


    "Just spared your life a moment ago, haven''t learned your lesson, have you? Say one more word, and I''l make sure you never speak again." The older man turned to the Regionmander.


    Whoosh!


    Before he could finish his threat, Azure Dragon swiftly drew his battle knife and unleashed a de of energy towards the man.


    "You''re asking for death!" the older man frowned and countered with a palm strike.


    "Death will be yours!" Casey''s eyes narrowed as he gripped his battle knife and activated the Bloodshadow de Technique, meeting the oing energy with a tremendous force.


    Bang!


    Their attacks collided with a


    deafening roar. Azure Dragon quickly slid back about thirty meters, his blood surging in his veins. The opponent, a whole realm higher, had still made him ufortable. At the same time, Casey and the older man were both pushed back Over ten


    steps before stabilizing.


    "Huh?" The older man looked at Casey with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He clearly didn''t expect someone with only War Emperor Peak strength to force him back that far. "General Harper, were you wounded by these two?" Billy turned to James Harper and asked.


    "Yes, it was those two old coots," before James Harper could respond, Phil Santiago nodded vigorously. "They''ve been acting recklessly, despite being War God-Emperors. Many of ourrades were injured by them, including General Wilson."Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "Damn, those two old coots, using their Emperor-level power against regr soldiers. Do they have no respect for the rules? It''s suicide!" Stout cursed while looking at them.


    In the world, God-Emperor-level warriors were not allowed to actively engage with War Emperors and lower-ranked warriors, a rule that applied globally.


    "In this world, rules are always meant to restrict the weaker. As long as your strength is sufficient, any rule can be ignored, right?" the other old man sneered.


    "Tsk tsk, I''m quite impressed by you two," Stout spoke up again. "Even when facing death, you act like fools. You''ve miraculously survived this long."


    "Your mouth is quite something, isn''t it? I''ll make you learn what..." the taller old man looked at Stout with a cold voice.


    "Both of you, if you choose self-destruction, I''ll leave your corpses intact," Billy interrupted him.


    The two old men burst intoughter simultaneously. After a brief pause, one of them sneered, "Are all vale people as ignorant as you?"


    "In that case, die!" Billy didn''t waste any more words. While speaking, he took a few big steps, and his Bloodshadow Fury de unleashed several sharp de rays like lightning.
