Chapter 211 Returning to the Western Border
"Ah!" The pedestrians on the street immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Some people crouched down, others pressed themselves against walls, and some hurriedly rushed into a nearby bar. Among them, a man wearing a black leather jacket and a duckbill cap paused for a moment, but then quickly dashed forward without stopping. He was well aware that his hesitation just now had exposed him.
"Stop him!" a voice rang out. It was Judge.
Thirty SHADOW guards swiftly charged forward. The gunfire from before had clearly been fired to locate someone.
The Heavenly Eye System indicated that one of the snipers had entered a blind spot in the surveillance around here and disappeared. However, these thirty SHADOWers had already searched this street, and they hadn't found anyone matching the description from the surveillance. Even the person wearing the same clothing was nowhere to be seen. But they had a strong feeling that the person was on this street, which led to this scene.
The reactions of a professional sniper and an ordinary person to the sound of gunfire were entirely different. The SHADOW guards, with their keen eyes, could see through this at a glance.
"Get out of the way!" the man said sharply. He swept his hand, releasing a burst of Chi wind that knocked aside ten disciples directly in front of him. His aura surged at this moment, revealing the strength of a True Master Battle General.
Almost simultaneously with the man's action, an extremely sharp blade of energy slashed from the side, unstoppable.
"Hmm!?" The man's pupils contracted, a strong sense of danger enveloping him. He quickly dodged to the side.
Thud!
Nevertheless, he was still slightly slow. His arm fell to the ground, cleanly severed at the shoulder.
"Hmm..." The man let out a muffled groan. Ignoring the pain, he darted to the side again.
"Still want to run?" Judge's cold voice sounded. "How dare you assassinate Mr Gardner? Even if you had ten lives, you wouldn't survive!"
As he spoke, the chilling curve of Judge's crescent blade swung, releasing a freezing light in a rapid slash.
"Don't..." The man let out a desperate, soul-piercing howl.
The blade of energy flashed by his waist, and due to inertia, he took a few more steps forward before his upper and lower halves of the body fell to the ground one after the other. Blood spurted out wildly.
Judge had already called Billy earlier to ask if he should spare anyone. The reply was to kill them directly. These assassins were of the martyr type, willing to die if they failed, making it difficult to capture them alive. Moreover, the two snipers didn't have a high rank in their organization, so even if they were caught, they probably wouldn't have provided useful information. It was better to eliminate them directly.
A similar scene unfolded in a citizen's square about three kilometers away from the bar street.
The other sniper, when discovered, tried to take a civilian hostage, but before he could make a move, Ebony Lord beheaded him with a single slash.
One hour later, Ebony Lord and Judge arrived at Royal View Villas. Billy and Stout had been waiting in the living room of Casey's mansion.
"Boss, how are you? Did you manage to expel the toxins?" Judge asked anxiously as he stepped into the living room.
Ebony Lord wore a similarly concerned expression beside him.
"Yeah," Billy nodded. "I've instructed our men to patrol throughout the night to ensure there are no accomplices of theirs left in Ozin City."
"Boss, don't worry. I've passed down the orders." Judge replied with a nod. After a brief pause, he turned to Stout. "Hey, Stout, are you okay? Nothing happened to you, right?"
"I'm fine," Stout shook his head, a trace of fear evident on his face. "It was really close this time. If Boss's strength hadn't recovered to the War Emperor level, anything could happen."
"Do you know who's behind this?" Ebony Lord asked heavily.
"People from Tyren!" Stout replied with a cold gaze.
"Tyren?" Judge's eyes widened, and he exclaimed angrily, "Do they want to bring about the fall of their nation?!"
Judge had learned about Tyren during his previous visit to the western border. They had lost almost half their forces due to the Bloodshadow Army.
"It might not necessarily be at the national level." Stout explained Billy's analysis to Judge.
"What!?" After listening, Judge shouted loudly, "Are these bastards trying to rebel!?"
"Commander Gardner, is there someone behind the southern border that's guiding them from the capital city?" Ebony Lord drew in a sharp breath, fully aware of the consequences of this matter. If it were discovered that someone from the capital was conspiring with Tyren to assassinate Billy. It would surely lead to a bloodbath.
Billy Gardner carried the fate of the country itself. Challenging him was akin to challenging the entire Glavale.
"Still uncertain for now," Billy shook his head and then looked at the two. "Stout and I are heading back to the western border. Casey and Azure Dragon probably won't be back for a few days. You two keep an eye on Ozin." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
This matter needed to be investigated thoroughly. Once the person behind it was found, they would be dealt with, regardless of who was involved.
"Boss, let Ebony Lord and me go together." Judge suggested.
"No need," Billy replied sternly. "The east district can't be left unguarded. Besides, Oriana probably hasn't given up yet. You two keep a close watch on it."
"In case of any trouble, it's on you two!" Billy continued firmly.
"Yes, Commander!" Judge and Ebony Lord replied loudly.
Two minutes later, after Billy paid a visit to Harleen and informed her about the situation, he headed to Ozin's war zone airport with Stout.
Early the next morning, a military off-road vehicle parked at the entrance of a base near the western border's Fourth Legion. Subsequently, Billy and Stout stepped out of the vehicle.
"Commander!" Ten thousand Bloodshadow soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
"Rise and speak!" Billy waved his hand.
"Yes, Commander!" the crowd shouted once again.
"Boss!" The leaders of the three legions walked over to greet him.
Three handsome faces, resolute eyes, and auras of ironclad determination defined these three men. They were the commanders of the other legions of the Western Border Army, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise.
The Western Border Army had four legions, each with its unique characteristics.
Azure Dragon was mature, steady and decisive in action.
Vermilion Bird was quiet and reserved, swift and resolute.
White Tiger was wild and hearty, always ready for a fight.
Black Tortoise was unbridled and unrestrained, avenger of all evils.
Upon hearing the news about Billy yesterday evening, Vermilion Bird and White Tiger had been furious. If Billy hadn't intervened, they would have sent troops to Tyren overnight. Considering Tyren' size, they were confident that they could effortlessly conquer it.
Over a year ago, if the enemy's nation master hadn't personally intervened and pleaded for mercy while offering substantial compensation, Tyren would likely have ceased to exist. They never imagined that, after more than a year, they would cause trouble again.
Billy nodded in response. Then he scanned the three men's cultivation realms. Finally, he smiled slightly. "Not bad, you guys haven't embarrassed the Western Border Army!"
