The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 Setback of Twenty Years

"Hmm!" Billy squinted his eyes. "Spread the order, two hundred thousand Bloodshadow Guards to engage, kill anyone who resists!"

"Yes, Commander!" Walter Hunter saluted in response.

"In addition, inform the original Southern Border troops to stay in place. They are not to engage unless I give the order." Billy continued.

Billy's intention was to minimize unnecessary casualties by keeping the original Southern Border troops from participating. He was confident that with the strength of the Army of Bloodshadow, the two hundred thousand Bloodshadow Guards could handle the eighty thousand soldiers of Nanrania without much trouble.

"Understood!" Walter Hunter responded loudly and then quickly headed towards the nearby camp.

As the orders from both sides' top commanders were issued, the border area spanning hundreds of kilometers between the two nations plunged into a chaotic battle. Numerous soldiers moved simultaneously, causing the earth to shake and the air to tremble. In no time, cries and roars echoed in the half-empty sky, as corpses piled up, and blood flowed like rivers.

Upon receiving word of the large-scale conflict, several neighboring countries dispatched envoys to find out what had caused such a massive upheaval between the two nations. Such a large-scale military confrontation hadn't been seen for decades.

"I've long heard that Commander Gardner from Glavale is a genius of the millennium. Today, I have the privilege of meeting you and have come to learn. Please enlighten me!"

Outside the nation's gates, Clifford Maldonado shouted loudly angrily, then gripped his large blade and charged toward Billy.

"I'm sorry, but you don't even have the qualification to challenge him!" Casey's solemn voice stopped Clifford's assault.

"Get out of the way!" Clifford shouted angrily, slashing his large blade.

"Boss, shall we kill him?" Casey casually blocked the opponent's blade with a raised hand and then looked at Billy for guidance.

"Disabling him will suffice. There are some things I want to ask him." Billy remained motionless, his eyes narrowing as he focused on a position not far behind Clifford.

At that spot, three individuals with the aura of Mid-War Emperor level were approaching.

"Understood!" Casey responded, raising his blade to confront Clifford.

"If you wish for death, I shall grant it!" Clifford yelled, channeling his full strength in his attack against Casey.

"Clifford, you are not his match, retreat!" An elder's voice sounded simultaneously, and it was one of the three whose auras Billy had been monitoring.

However, his warning came half a beat too late. Before the words had even left his lips, a blade aura had flashed past Clifford's shoulder, followed by his arm, holding his large blade, flying into the air, blood spewing everywhere.

"Ah..." Clifford let out a painful cry.

Whoosh!

But that was not the end of it. Casey struck again, this time slashing Clifford's arm and causing more gruesome wounds.

"How dare you!" Elder Thornen at the War Emperor level roared. At the same time, he raised his hand and unleashed a wave of Chi that seemed like it could overturn mountains and seas, surging towards Casey.

However, he had clearly overestimated himself. Since the moment Billy had set his sights on him, his fate had been sealed. His attack had just reached halfway when a blood-red blade aura descended from the sky, slicing down directly above his head.
