Chapter 1231
James was not being arrogant.
He had reached the seventh rank. Not only that, but the martial technique that he was practicing was the Invincible Body Siddhi. With this martial technique, his defense was quite strong. He was confident that he would not lose against the eighth rank.
Besides, he had mastered the Thirteen Heavenly Swords, so he had the capabilities.
The King was silent. He had been anticipating this day for a very long time.
Now, he could finally strike them all at once. He did not want to pass up this opportunity.
“James, you’re the Dragon King of the Southern Plains and the general of two armies. Do you realize the extent to which these ancient martial artists meddle in the affairs of the country? They disregard the law. They should perish and cease to exist. This is an opportunity. There won’t be another one if we miss it.”
“I’m aware of that, but do you know how many powerhouses are here? Do you actually think they can be killed?”
James was at the seventh rank. He was well aware of how powerful the seventh rank was, as well as how terrifying the eighth rank was. Their mere presence would be capable of causing drastic changes in situations.
The only reason they were battered and fleeing in all directions was that they were hurt. All of these combat aircraft and the surrounding army combined would not be enough to kill them if they were really pushed to a point of desperation.
“Don’t force them into a death match. Otherwise, everyone here will perish. This is not an exaggeration intended to scare you. They are definitely capable of doing so. Many combat aircraft have already been brought down.”
“Therefore, we must instantly demolish that area with powerful missiles,” the King said with a darkened. expression.
“This is not child’s play,” James said after taking a deep breath. “Retreat immediately. I’ll deal with the fallout.”
The King was lost in his own thoughts. In his position, he had far too many things to consider. He did not expect there to be so many eighth ranks in the borders of Sol. Two or three of them were already a long shot in his prediction.
The current situation exceeded his expectations.
After thinking for a while, he let out a sigh. “James, I’m going to let you handle it. I’ll be stepping down from the throne next year anyway. To put it bluntly, I don’t need to worry about these things. I simply want to give the new King a peaceful country and not have him caught in the middle. I’m getting old. Future responsibilities for the nation will fall on your shoulders and those of the younger generation.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
“Order from the King. Withdraw the troops,” James instructed immediately.
Gloom was standing next to James. He, too, heard the voice from the phone call.
“Pass on the order that the entire army is to be evacuated,” he said as well.
