The setting sun was like blood, and the sand filled the sky. The territory was located on the western border, more than 100 kilometers inside the enemy's border.
A Battle lasting for three months drew to a close. Only bodies and blood were left in an inferno of battle. A young man with a sword of Bloodshadow in his hand was sitting there on the ground. There was a body without a head not far away from him.
The young man in plain clothes was named Billy Gardner, the supreme commander of Army of Bloodshadow, and the King of the West.
And the body without a head belonged to the Commander-in-Chief of the enemies.
In no time, five figures flashed at lightning speed from five different directions and in the blink of an eye, they arrived beside the young man and knelt on one knee. All five of them were dressed in battle armor, with a righteous and imposing aura. They exuded a suffocating scent of blood from head to toe.
"Commander, the elite enemy troops have been completely wiped out!" The man in military attire who led the group spoke respectfully.
His name was Casey Kimmons, Billy's lieutenant. The remaining four people were the leaders of the Army of Bloodshadow's four major legions: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
"Get up, take a break and regroup, let's head back to the capital!" Billy lit a cigarette and took a puff.
The five people stood up at the same time.
At that moment, Billy's phone beeped with a notification sound. He pulled out his phone and saw two voicemail messages.
"Dad, why aren't you answering me? It's Tasha... I've sent you so many messages, why won't you reply to me? I'm scared, I've been kidnapped by bad people. I can't find my mom..."
The voice was from a little girl in extreme fear.
"Hey kid, you got the wrong number. I'm not your dad. Are you okay? Did something happen to you?"
Billy adjusted his emotions and replied. He had received two similar messages from this number last night but he was too busy fighting for his life to respond.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Another message came through and the little girl was now crying hysterically.
"Dad is lying! Mom said... this is your number. Is Tasha not good enough for dad?"
"Tasha is scared. The bad people said I won't see my parents again after today... I'm really scared..."
"Dad doesn't even know what Tasha looks like yet, right? I took a picture on my birthday last month and sent it to dad. Dad has to remember what Tasha looks like!"
After the voicemail message came through, a photo followed of an adorable little girl with rosy cheeks and big expressive eyes that seemed to speak volumes.
After seeing this photo, a wave of murderous intent exploded from Billy like a mountain torrent.
At this moment, the temperature of the air around suddenly dropped to freezing point, and the entire void felt suffocating as if dark clouds were pressing down.
