"Too weak!" Billy's voice sounded at the same time. Taking a few steps forward, he flipped his wrist, and a blood-red crescent-shaped blade aura descended from the sky.
After a faint sound, the scene fell into silence.
Billy and the old man opposite him stood still in their original positions, still maintaining the same posture as if they had never made a move.
"Sorry, you lost!" At the next moment, Billy's voice sounded.
"So.. strong..." The old man opened his mouth, and a bloodline appeared from his forehead, rapidly extending downwards.
Three seconds later, both halves of the body collapsed to the ground simultaneously, the flesh and blood a gruesome and chilling sight.
"Great Elder!" The old man and Frederick Rice and others cried out loudly again, with endless sadness on their faces.
They still couldn't believe that the top expert of the military department of their country, an elder who had made countless contributions to the founding of this country, died just like that. That was definitely a huge loss for Oriana - to cultivate a strong warrior in the middle stage of War Grandmaster, not to mention the huge investment, just in terms of time, it took decades.
This was a pain that Oriana could not bear, and colossal shame for their country.
"You're damned, you deserve to die!!!" the elderly man from before roared hysterically.
"Get help, call for assistance! Send my orders to the missile department. Spare no expense, kill those three at all costs. They must be killed!!!"
Upon hearing his words, Frederick Rice and a few others snapped out of their extreme sorrow and couldn't help but shudder all over.
'The Second Elder has gone crazy!' they all thought. This was the capital city of Oriana, a large city with a population of tens of millions.
Launching missiles here, let alone whether they could kill those three individuals, even if they managed to succeed, it was likely that at least a million citizens would be buried alongside them. Moreover, who could guarantee that the ruler was not among these one million people?
"Oh, are you planning to use missiles? You scared me!" Stout patted his chest and said, "But hey, you can give it a try!"
At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps could be heard.
Shortly after, a military officer in uniform with a pale face quickly ran up to Frederick Rice and whispered a few words in his ear.
"What!?" Frederick Rice roared again. Then he looked at Billy with horror on his face and said, "You actually moved 100, 000 Army of Bloodshadow to the eastern border of Glavale. What are you trying to do?"
He couldn't help but be shocked. Although he had never dealt with the Army of Bloodshadow before, their reputation preceded them. War departments in any country knew of the existence of Glavale's strongest fighting force and had conducted extensive analysis and research on them.
The hundred thousand soldiers in the Army of Bloodshadow could definitely stand up against Oriana's million-man army. If they were to enter Oriana's territory, they could almost certainly break through this country.
Frederick also knew why Billy and his team dared to enter Oriana so brazenly - besides their own martial arts prowess, that hundred thousand-strong Army of Bloodshadow was their trump card. With those ten thousand men stationed at the border, even if there were martial arts experts in this country who could suppress Billy's team, they would not be able to do anything against them.
"You guys are despicable!" the second elder finally calmed down from his anger at this point and shuddered at Frederick Rice's words as well. His face showed a momentary sense of fear. He knew that if something happened to those three today, hundred thousand-strong Army of Bloodshadow would step onto Oriana soil. It was all thanks to him not acting impulsively or else he would have become a criminal for eternity in Oriana.
Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, he vaguely felt that Billy might have deliberately provoked him into giving orders earlier. As long as he dared to use a weapon with great destructive power, the Army of Bloodshadow would truly cross into Oriana's border line. They were looking for an excuse for war.
"Scared?" Stout chuckled. "Aren't you going to use missiles to kill us? Why not give it a try?"
