The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 198 A Fair Battle

Chapter 198 A Fair Battle

The sound of footsteps echoed through the base, followed by a group of people emerging. Each person's face was dripping with sweat. Leading the way were two white-haired old men in their seventies, sharp-eyed and full of vitality. Behind them were five middle-aged soldiers in combat gear, their eyes flashing with coldness and an endless aura of killing intent. In the center stood Oriana's top warrior, Frederick Rice.

"Glavale, King of the West, Commander Gardner?!" Frederick Rice and his companions recognized Billy at first glance and were shocked beyond belief.

They never expected Commander Gardner to come here for a rescue attempt. What they couldn't figure out was why King of the West was interfering in the eastern affairs.

"Hand over the hostage!" Billy narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly. He and Casey recognized the five people before them as Oriana's five generals from their respective military departments.

Although they had not dealt with each other before, they had seen photos or videos beforehand.

"Commander Gardner, do you know what you're doing?" Frederick Rice shouted angrily. "You are a high-ranking official in the military department of Glavale. Are you trying to start a war between our two countries?"

"If you don't hand over the hostage, what else can we do?" Billy responded coldly.

"How dare you!" The leader among them scowled deeply. "Glavale has gone too far! Do you think people here are insects?"

The man who was talking was one of the four elders of Oriana, with both status and personal strength surpassing Frederick Rice. Although he had heard of the King of the West in Glavale before, he had never fought with Billy, so Commander Gardner's name did not make him fearful.

"Hand over Lance Glisson and we'll spare your lives!" Billy ignored him and continued to stare coldly at Frederick Rice.

"Do you know what our intercepted intelligence means?" Frederick Rice glared at him.

"I don't know, nor do I care!" Billy responded. "All I know is that our deputy general is in your hands, and before this, a hundred men from my army were killed or injured. That's enough! The soldiers of Glavale cannot be bullied. Those who bully them will be destroyed!"

"'Those who bully them will be destroyed'," A man next to Frederick Rice roared, "Come on then! Let me see how much weight the so-called Commander Gardner really carries!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong aura swept out from his body, showing his martial art cultivation as a Warlord's.

"You're ignorant!" Casey stepped forward two steps. "You're not qualified to make Commander Gardner take action yet. If you want to die so badly, let me grant your wish!"

"Go die!" The man continued to roar as he swung his large sword with piercing wind sounds.

"It's you who should die!" Casey's eyes narrowed as his Bloodshadow Blade was unsheathed. A curved blade energy carrying an overwhelming force met it head-on.

"Hey, step back!" As soon as Casey made a move, Frederick Rice's pupils shrank in fear and he quickly shouted out. Casey's strength far exceeded his estimation, and he had never expected Casey Kimmons to be a Hal-Step War Grandmaster.

"You dare!" The old man from before naturally realized that their side was definitely not Casey's opponent. As he spoke, a tremendous aura erupted from him like a raging flood, instantly enveloping the surrounding air. Immediately after, he rushed forward and with a flick of his wrist, blasted out an extremely violent palm wind towards Casey.

"Shameless!" Billy said in a deep voice as he also swept out with his palm.

Boom!

The two attacks collided and caused shockwaves to ripple outwards like high-pressure air waves. The group of soldiers standing nearby were all sent flying and fell to the ground motionless. The old man slid backwards at lightning speed for seven or eight meters before finally stopping. His blood surged within him as his breathing became erratic.

"How is this...?" After stabilizing himself, an expression of incomparable shock appeared on his face.

Just as the clash of palm force between Billy and the old man resonated, Casey's blade technique sliced the other man's broadsword into two. Simultaneously, his blade pierced directly through the other's chest. Without a shred of suspense, the man's mouth opened slightly, unable to utter a single word before he collapsed, a rush of fresh blood gushing from his chest.

The fifth-ranked figure of the Oriana War Division fell.

"Mo!" Frederick Rice and the others exclaimed in pain.

Immediately, they all started charging directly towards Casey.

"You want to fight? Come on then! Let's see how I destroy you little brats!" Stout stepped forward and stood next to Casey. He flipped his wrist and a silver needle appeared in his hand. From the shining tip of the needle, it was clear that it was a poisonous weapon.

"Do you really want to die?" Billy spoke as he drew out the Bloodshadow Fury Blade from his waist, while his aura rose at the same time.

"Frederick, stop!" The other elder on the opposing side spoke with a deep voice. Staring straight at Billy, he said, "You came to Oriana and killed my important warriors at our gate. Do you think we have no one in Oriana?" He took a deep breath and continued, "I will give you a fair fight, if you win, we will let you take him away. If I win, all three of you will die! Will you accept?"

"Do you want to die?" Billy coldly replied. "I'll give you a chance, if you can take one hit from me, then I'll consider it your victory."

Upon hearing this statement from Billy, Frederick Rice and the others looked towards him with disdainful eyes. They had encountered arrogant people before but never someone so arrogant like him.

The old man in front of Billy was an elder of the war department in Oriana, a powerhouse who ranked at least top three in this country. Therefore, they all thought that Billy was so ignorant that he dared to threaten the elder they respected.

Casey and Stout couldn't help but grimace when they heard Billy's words. They knew that Billy could back up his talk without fail.

'But come on, can't we show some respect for the strongest member of Oriana's War Department?' they complained inwardly.

"Absolutely outrageous!" The old man furrowed his brow. "Show Glavale's ultimate technique!"

As he spoke, a soldier behind him handed him a long spear and his aura as a Tier-two War Grandmaster immediately surged.

"Take this spear!" The old man gripped his weapon tightly as an overwhelming force emanated from within him. It felt like a mountain was bearing down on them all.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the old man moved. He and the spear became one as afterimages appeared. A frigid light containing earth-shattering energy shot towards Billy like lightning. As he passed by, the air around him surged with energy and power.
