"Judge, are you itching for a fight?" Soul Chaser responded irritably.
"I can't, but Azure Dragon can do it. I can ask him to step in and with just 100, 000 Army of Bloodshadow soldiers we can easily take down the southern edge!"
Although their enemies on the southern edge were indeed difficult opponents and it would be hard for SHADOW to handle it alone. But with the help of Army of Bloodshadow, it would be a piece of cake.
The two things that made the southern edge so fearsome were poison and "Gu" (curses). Other than that their martial arts skills were only average. But among the hundreds of thousands in Army of Bloodshadow, there were many talented individuals who excelled in poisons and curses. Moreover, there were also members from Secret Essences Sect within the western medical team. Many members from Secret Essences Sect were experts in poisons.
"Alright then, no one has thicker skin than you!" Judge shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay!" Billy waved his hand. "Let's get to work!"
"Got it!" The five nodded simultaneously.
With Billy's command issued out, all SHADOW guards except those from the eastern district began moving into action.
Midlandia was a city located in the central district in the country of Glavale. It had always been a battleground for military strategists.
On the second morning after Billy gave orders, three thousand SHADOWers gathered together and headed towards an enormous mansion located southward within the city limits of Midlandia. The owner of this mansion was named Marquis, who was an influential figure within Midlandia with connections throughout every corner.
Usually he was surrounded by people wherever he went even when facing those high up on the political ladder; however, today Marquis received only one distinguished guest - someone important from the Central District War Department.
"Mr Cook, it's a pleasure to have you here. Please come in." Marquis served a cup of tea to Sebastian Cook and continued, "This is some nice tea that I just got my hands on. Please try it and see how it tastes."
Marquis lowered his posture, fully aware of the power and influence of this important figure in front of him. Not only was Sebastian Cook personally terrifyingly powerful, but he also held a high position and had enough weight to command respect from others.
"Mr Marquis, you flatter me, and thank you. It's my honor to be invited by you." Said Sebastian Cook with a smile as he took the teacup.
"Your words are too kind. To be able to invite someone like you is truly an honor for me," replied Marquis with a smile after pausing briefly. After a momentary pause, he continued, "How has general been recently? I heard that he went to the capital city a few days ago. Everything there should be settled by now?"
"It's all taken care of!" Sebastian Cook smiled faintly and then asked, "It seems that you are quite concerned about what happened in the capital city?"
"How could someone like me care about such big matters? I'm still busy dealing with trivial matters here in Midlandia!" After slightly hesitating for a moment, Marquis replied with another smile.
"You're being modest," said Sebastian Cook before changing topics, "About that funding we talked about last time..."
"Don't worry, Mr Cook. I've already prepared everything and am just waiting for your word before transferring it." As he lifted his teacup for another sip, Marquis reassured him confidently.
"Haha! Thank you so much again!" Sebastian laughed once more.
"It's nothing at all." Replied Marquis with yet another smile as they continued their conversation until they were interrupted by hurried footsteps outside.
An unhappy-looking middle-aged man appearing to be some sort of supervisor or manager entered into their presence abruptly.
"Rude!" Marquis's face darkened. "Can't you see that I'm receiving a distinguished guest?"
