Chapter 212 Whoever Blocks, Slays
Vermilion Bird was a Tier-two Warlord, while White Tiger and Black Tortoise were Tier-one Warlords. These were the results of the message Casey had sent to Azure Dragon and the others last time, informing them not to suppress their cultivation anymore and to break through freely. In fact, they could have broken through to become Warlords long ago, but they had been intentionally restraining themselves.
On the one hand, they didn't want to draw too much attention. By doing so, they could deceive the enemy nation and make potential enemies lower their guard. On the other hand, they wanted to break through the barrier to Warlord in the best possible state. That way, once they shattered the barrier, they would be able to directly advance to the mid-level of Warlord.
This was the strength of the Western Border Army-four legion commanders, along with Azure Dragon, were all Warlords. Looking at the other four major regions, none could compare.
"Thank you for your affirmation, Boss!" The three of them bowed simultaneously.
"It's been a while. How have you all been?" Stout greeted them with a grin.
"You dead fatso, sticking by Mr Gardner's side and getting him injured. When we get back from Tyren, I'll show you!" White Tiger glared at Stout fiercely.
"White Tiger, this isn't my fault. Who could have known that they would send waves of people after us?" Stout wore a look of grievance.
"Can you pay a little attention to me? If it wasn't for the Boss this time, you wouldn't have seen me again!"
"Go away. Stop acting pitiful. With you, who's as slippery as an eel, I'd have a hard time killing you!" Black Tortoise added.
"Come on, they had two advanced Warlords attacking me, if it weren't for not wanting to burden you all, I wouldn't have been able to hold on for this long." Stout pouted and continued, "Enough with this. I'm going to find a nurse to treat my injuries."
Stout ended the banter and left.
"Boss, are you sure about Casey and Azure Dragon being transferred to the eastern district?" inquired Black Tortoise.
"Yes," Billy nodded. "The eastern district is too weak. It needs to be reinforced."
"Boss, can you send me there too? There won't be much happening in the western border for at least the next ten years. It's boring to stay here. My sword is getting rusty!" White Tiger expressed his desire to move.
"Do you want to get ravaged?" Billy gave him a stern look.
"You know me. I can't go three days without a fight." White Tiger scratched his head.
"Well, you can spar with Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise!" Billy suggested.
"Vermilion Bird is too abnormal, I can't beat him, and Black Tortoise is too slippery, he never fights with me." He complained.
"You really want to fight that badly?" Billy paused for a moment, a thought crossing his mind.
"Of course! I miss the days when I was fighting alongside you." White Tiger said and grinned. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
He didn't have many other hobbies; he was only interested in perfecting his martial skills.
"In that case, I'll send you to a place that will satisfy your desire for a fight!" Billy's lips curled up.
"Really?" White Tiger's eyes lit up. "Where?"
"Place of Darkness," Billy responded. "When you're there, as long as you have the strength to protect yourself, you can fight as much as you want."
Billy had been contemplating matters concerning Place of Darkness during this time. Rakshasa was still a bit weak; waiting for her to mature would take too long. He was worrying about the shortage of manpower on that side. Just now, after White Tiger's reminder, he immediately felt a sense of seeking far and near.
White Tiger was the most suitable candidate for the task. Over the past two to three years, Casey and Azure Dragon's group had been by his side, undergoing various trials. However, because Billy was watching over them, they lacked the experience of fighting against overwhelming odds. And that was the reason why except for Casey Kimmons, Azure Dragon and the three others hadn't made a rapid progress.
The martial talent of the four of them was actually quite impressive. If they could go through more battles that pushed their limits, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous aid to their growth. And Place of Darkness provided just the opportunity they needed.
"Really? I can go there?" There was a hint of fervor in White Tiger's eyes. He was aware of Place of Darkness, a world where the law of the jungle prevailed, and might made right.
Billy nodded. "I'll give you one month to select a replacement from your subordinates to take over your current position. After a month, you can depart."
"Thank you, Boss!" White Tiger was extremely excited. After a pause, he continued, "Boss, can I take a group of brothers with me?"
"Sure," Billy nodded again. "You can take a thousand people with you. See if they can adapt to the environment over there."
"I see!" White Tiger sounded overjoyed.
"Remember, White Tiger, Place of Darkness is incredibly chaotic. Without me protecting you, be careful!" Black Tortoise warned with a trace of concern.
"Surviving is more important than anything else. If you can't handle it, come back!" Vermilion Bird added.
"Don't worry, I won't let Mr Gardner and Army of Bloodshadow down!" White Tiger replied.
Then he turned to Billy. "Boss, 300, 000 soldiers of Army of Bloodshadow are already assembling at the border of Tyren. When do we depart?"
"Each of you selects a thousand people to accompany me. The rest will remain stationed." Billy declared.
"Boss, three thousand people, I'm afraid that ain't guarantee." Said White Tiger after some consideration.
"You think boss is planning to level Tyren?" Black Tortoise gave White Tiger a speechless glance.
"What do you mean? They've sent people to assassinate boss. We should wipe them out!"
"It's pretty obvious this isn't their official stance!" Black Tortoise retorted. "Unless their ruler has lost their mind and wants to trade the entire kingdom for boss's life!" After speaking, he turned to Vermilion. "What do you think?"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by going straight to their ruler!" Vermilion Bird's voice was stern. "If they don't talk, slay"
"Fine, as if I didn't say anything!" Black Tortoise's mouth twitched.
"Alright, let's get going!" Billy spoke up. "Head straight to their capital city. Anyone who tries to stop us, we cut them down!"
"Understood!" The three of them responded simultaneously.
Half an hour later, 3, 000 members of the Army of Bloodshadow crossed the border and entered Tyren.
"Alert, alert! Enemy attack!" A moment later, a cry of alarm rang out in Tyren' military camp.
Tens of thousands of Tyren warriors sprung into action, quickly surrounding the 3, 000 members of the Army of Bloodshadow. Their faces were solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They had dealt with the Army of Bloodshadow for so long that they understood the terrifying power of Glavale's troops. Although there were only 3, 000 of them, they could easily slaughter tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of their own forces.
What shocked them even more was that the leader of this group was actually none other than Glavale's King of the West, the person who made them tremble in fear just hearing his name.
Many people had been trembling uncontrollably ever since they laid eyes on Billy Gardner.
