The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 The Great Battle Erupts

Boom!

While the elder from the opposing side spoke, a powerful blade aura shot towards Black Tortoise but was intercepted by another blade aura.

"Oh? Not bad at all!" Black Tortoise took a few steps back and turned to look at an elder who had arrived not far away.

This elder had white hair, making it difficult to determine his actual age. He had a lean figure, sharp eyes, and a swirling aura around him.

The newcomer was none other than the Supreme Commander of Nanrania's Northern Border Army, Clifford Maldonado, who had a cultivation level one rank higher than Black Tortoise, reaching the pinnacle of the War Grandmaster level. He was accompanied by a group of formidable individuals, each of whom had significantly greater strength than those standing behind Ingram Pearson.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Ingram Pearson hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Clifford nodded in acknowledgment and then turned his stern gaze toward Black Tortoise, speaking in a sullen voice, "How dare you attack a Commander of Nanrania, are you tired of living?" As he spoke, he glanced at Billy and his group.

"What?" Clifford Maldonado's pupils contracted when he recognized Billy.

As the number one figure in Nanrania's military, he recognized Commander Gardner of Glavale, even though they hadn't met before. He had seen pictures and videos of him countless times. This time, he had personally led an army to the border of Glavale, primarily with the intention of confronting Billy Gardner. After the incidents involving Mark Barber and Mark Barber, Nanrania's top brass was furious and demanded that the King of the West in Glavale be held accountable.

Clifford Maldonado had received an imperial edict from his national lord, commanding him to lead five hundred thousand soldiers here and ensure the return of Commander Gardner from Glavale for trial, by any means necessary. The edict also mentioned that if Glavale's southern forces did not cooperate, the use of necessary force could be considered.

"You're ignorant!" Black Tortoise sneered and continued to wield his blade, slashing toward Ingram Pearson. And that was Billy's order.

"You fool, you're asking for death!"

Clifford Maldonado frowned, raised his hand, and unleashed an even more powerful blade aura towards Black Tortoise.

"The one asking for death is you!" Azure Dragon's voice rang out simultaneously, and an arcing blade aura produced a piercing whistling sound as it shot towards Black Tortoise.

Bang!

The two blade forces collided with a loud crash. Then, Clifford Maldonado was seen taking several large steps backward before stabilizing, a look of astonishment fleeting across his face. He hadn't expected Azure Dragon's strength to seem to surpass his own.

And just as Azure Dragon made his move, Black Tortoise's blade aura had already reached Ingram Pearson, moving as fast as lightning. Ingram's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpricks, and an unprecedented sense of danger enveloped him. It was too late to dodge, and he had nowhere to hide. He could only grit his teeth and quickly summon a few blade auras in an attempt to block Black Tortoise's attack. However, under Black Tortoise's full force, he didn't even have a chance. His large blade was cleaved into two, and the blade aura, with undiminished momentum, went straight through his heart, leaving behind a horrifying gash.

"You..." Ingram Pearson managed to utter one word with difficulty before falling stiffly to the ground, and then, with a kick of his legs, he lost his breath.

His eyes were wide, like ping pong balls, with an endless sense of unwillingness on his face. He had never imagined that, before the two armies had even engaged in a formal battle, he, as a Commander, would be killed like this.

As the nephew of the Elder of the War Department, he had a bright future ahead of him. As long as he didn't make any fundamental mistakes, it was a matter of course that he would take over from Clifford Maldonado and sit in the War Department's top seat. However, all of this came to an abrupt end at this moment.
