Boom!
Just as the two were conversing, a tremendous aura enveloped the sky above the Leonard Clan's courtyard, as if a dark cloud was descending. Everyone at the entrance, including Casey Kimmons and Azure Dragon, felt a suffocating pressure.
Perry Leonard's gaze lit up as he sensed this aura and turned to look at the courtyard entrance.
"Men of SHADOW and Bloodshadow Guard, retreat five hundred meters!" Casey's expression turned grave.
"Vice Commander Kimmons, we pledge to live and die with you, and we move as one!" The crowd took a deep breath and shouted in unison, with no one taking a step back.
"I'll say it again, all of you, retreat five hundred meters!" Casey shouted loudly, "This is a military order!"
"Yes, sir!" The crowd hesitated for a moment before responding in unison, then orderly stepped back.
While they all wanted to stay, military orders were absolute. Disobeying the order would be tantamount to betraying the Commander-in-Chief. They had no choice.
"Casey, let me stay!" Night Orchid held the Cold Moon Scimitar, her gaze fixed on the direction of the courtyard entrance.
"Orchid, you should step back too! There's no need for you to make a reckless sacrifice!" Azure Dragon looked at Night Orchid and advised.
"It's okay. It's been a while since I fought alongside you all. It's a rare opportunity!" Night Orchid responded with a solemn tone.
"Orchid, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to boss!" Casey spoke up.
"If I step back now, I won't be able to explain to myself!" A resolute look flashed in Night Orchid's eyes.
"No need to argue. Today, all of you will die!" An old man's voice rang out.
"For killing hundreds of our Leonard Clan members, you deserve nothing less than death!"
Following that, an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared at the courtyard entrance, followed by a hundred well-built men. The newcomer was the previous head of the Leonard Clan, Alvin Leonard.
"Father, you've left seclusion?" Seeing the old man, Perry Leonard took a deep breath and hurriedly walked over.
"Back then, when I entrusted the Leonard family to you, how did you assure me?" A chill emanated from Alvin Leonard.
Perry Leonard immediately knelt down, "I'm sorry. I've caused the Leonard family to suffer such a disaster. Please punish me, Father!"
Alvin Leonard snorted coldly, ignoring Perry Leonard. He strode over to Casey and Azure Dragon, and his voice became heavy. "All of you, take your own lives! I'll grant you a dignified corpse!"
"You old fool!" Azure Dragon responded coldly. "You're not qualified..!"
Before his words could be completed, Alvin Leonard's wrist flicked, and a blast of forceful wind surged out, heading straight for Azure Dragon.
"Be careful!" Casey shouted loudly as he swung his Bloodshadow Battle Blade, unleashing a cold light to block the attack.
Night Orchid also moved at the same time, her Cold Moon Scimitar striking out.
Three dull thuds rang out. The forms of Casey and the two others were sent flying like autumn leaves, each leaving an arc of blood in the air. They crashed heavily to the ground, spraying out more blood from their mouths and their auras became extremely disordered. Among the three, Casey fared a little better, but Azure Dragon and Night Orchid were seriously injured.
Alvin Leonard was already at the peak of the War Grandmaster later stage, significantly stronger than the three. He didn't use his full strength just now, otherwise, their injuries would have been more severe.
"Old geezer, let's fight!" Witnessing this scene, Brigham Bush and Ken Rose shouted in unison from five hundred meters away.
Two hundred men shouted in unison. As their words fell, they all attacked at once.
