"Does it make a difference?" The white-haired old man smiled and changed the subject. "Mrs Charleston, now you should be able to tell us what we want to know, right?"
"What do you think?" Bessie Charleston replied coldly.
"You still don't want to talk? In that case, we'll have to force it out of you!" Dale Waitz, the No-Trace Wanderer, said in a stern tone. He moved forward, and at the same time, he raised his hand, sending out several powerful palm winds.
At this moment, Bessie could only mobilize her War Emperor-level power. Faced with Dale Waitz's attack, her pupils contracted. But she couldn't sit idly by. She furrowed her brows and unleashed several sword beams in response.
Their attacks collided, and Bessie was sent flying backward immediately. She crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her aura even more weakened.
Dale Waitz didn't intend to stop there. He followed up with more palm strikes, sending out powerful shockwaves.
"Mrs Charleston, we're here to help you!"
Just then, two figures rushed over, one wielding a sword and the other a blade. They both unleashed a chilling aura as they attacked Dale Waitz.
The two of them were Bob Stokes and Ian Blade.
Initially, Bob, Ian and Azure Fang had been watching from the sidelines without taking action. However, when they saw Arthur's group gradually being pushed back, they decided to join the battle, along with the several hundred comrades they had brought along.
However, even with their assistance, the situation was still far from optimistic.
Even with their participation, the situation remained far from optimistic.
In the Ink Pavilion's three factions, apart from Quillan, Wilmot Wainwright, and Dale Waitz, the others were also formidable in their own right. Particularly Rory Allen, the other Deputy Sect Master of Ink Pavilion, possessed the genuine cultivation of a War God-Emperor, and despite Arthur bringing another War God-Emperor powerhouse, he still fell short compared to Rory Allen.
Aside from Rory Allen, Ink Pavilion had one leader and two Pavilion Kings left, all of whom had mid to late-stage War Emperor strength, with the War Sovereign being a half-step War God-Emperor. Furthermore, among the forces from the Heavenly Dragon Sect and those brought by Dale Waitz, there were three or four late-stage War Emperors.
Among Arthur, Bessie, and their group, aside from the one War God-Emperor powerhouse, the most formidable were one complete War Emperor and three peak War Emperors.
The battle between the two sides had barely begun when it became evident that Arthur's side was at a disadvantage, with many sustaining serious injuries.
After Bob and others joined the battle, they teamed up to defeat two peak War Emperors, slightly improving their situation. Just as they began to catch their breath, Bessie found herself in a dangerous situation, and the two of them rushed over.
"Where did you two kids come from? Do you think your lives are too long?" Dale Waitz sneered, raising his hand to block their attacks with two palm winds. Even though he had some injuries, he could still unleash the power of a War God-Emperor, so he didn't take Bob Stokes and his companion seriously.
"Who are you two?" Bessie looked at them, slightly puzzled.
"Our boss sent us!" Ian Blade replied.
"Boss? Is your boss Commander Gardner, King of the West?" Bessie asked.
"Yes!" Ian nodded.
