The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 The Supreme Commander of the War Department

"General Wilson, please forgive us for not greeting you from afar!" Billy spoke loudly, looking ahead.

"You are too kind, Commander Gardner. You traveled all the way to the capital city and I should have gone to the airport to welcome you. Unfortunately, I had some matters to attend to and could only come here briefly. Please don't be offended." A loud voice echoed through everyone's ears.

Before anyone could respond, a figure appeared in front of them with steady steps.

He was in his sixties, dressed in plain clothes with sharp features and a lively spirit that didn't match his age at all. As someone who practiced martial arts and reached a certain level of cultivation, he was able to break free from physical limitations and slow down the aging process of his organs. The higher one's cultivation level was, the longer their lifespan would be. A Battle God could easily live up to 100 years old without any difficulty; a Warlord could live up until 120 years old or more if there were no external factors affecting them; a War Grandmaster had a lifespan of at least 150 years; as for those above War Grandmasters, it was said that there were people who belonged to hidden sects living over two or three hundred years old.

Everyone including Billy bowed to Cole Wilson respectfully.

Aside from Billy and Casey, everyone else looked surprised when they saw Cole Wilson, currently the top warrior in Glavale who had reached War Grandmaster-level.

When he was young, he was a dominant figure who had served as the commander of the north and central regions. He had spent several years in the north, striking fear into the hearts of all neighboring countries. Even now, whenever Cole Wilson's name was mentioned in the north, people still trembled with fear.

After retiring from his post in the north, he took over as commander of the central region, which was also a necessary step for anyone looking to become the top military leader in Glavale.

After spending several years commanding forces in the central region, Cole Wilson was officially transferred to the capital city to serve as the highest-ranking military officer in the country.

The main role of the Central Military Command was to coordinate and support operations across all four major battle zones: North, East, West and South. With abundant resources and formidable fighting power at its disposal. Among the top ten elite assault teams in Glavale, five of them belonged to the central region. Currently speaking from an overall combat strength perspective, there was no doubt that it was second only to the western army.

"Haha! I'm just here to catch up with Commander Gardner. There's no need for formalities!" Cole Wilson waved his hand at everyone present.

"Please come inside," Billy gestured respectfully towards him.

Cole Wilson's arrival had been expected by Billy. After all, Billy had said earlier that someone would be joining them soon enough – he referred to Cole Wilson.

Although this time around Billy came to the capital as the master of SHADOW, he belonged within the military command. If anyone were suited for standing up here for Billy, it would have been none other than Cole Wilson.

Billy also knew well what brought Cole Wilson here today.

Firstly, Cole Wilson would stand by Billy's side and let everyone know that Billy belonged within their military command; if anyone intended to cause trouble, they would have to come through him first.

Secondly, like the Capital Defense Bureau, Cole Wilson feared that Billy would go on a killing spree here in the capital. After all, Billy had exceptional skills, which could lead them down a path filled with bloodshed if left unchecked.

"Sure thing!" replied Cole nodding his head in agreement.

Afterwards, he turned to Casey and smiled, "Casey, not bad! It's been a while since we've seen each other and you're already half a step into the realm of a Warlord! Hard work pays off. You're such a handsome talent, it's a waste to just follow around King of the West all day!" Cole Wilson's words seemed casual but had an underlying intention.

"You flatter me too much!" Casey responded with a smile. A hint of surprise flashed in his pupils.

Billy narrowed his eyes slightly and had a thoughtful expression on his face after hearing Cole Wilson's words.

Soon enough, Billy and Casey accompanied Cole Wilson to a reception room.

"I heard that people from the Capital Defense Bureau came by?" After they were seated and Casey poured tea for them all, Cole Wilson asked Billy.
