According to the information that Anvich knew, King of the West, Commander Gardner, had led a few of his comrades into the heartland of several countries in the past year alone. The elder of Oriana had been beheaded in his own headquarters by King of the West, Commander Gardner, despite having tens of thousands of troops stationed nearby. In the end, King of the West, Commander Gardner, had walked away unscathed. Furthermore, a few months ago, Oriana had sent their Prime Minister and officials from the Ministry of the Interior to Glavale's capital to negotiate the matter. What was the result? All of them were killed, and Oriana had yet to make a peep. The Royal Palace of the Shadowland, on the other hand, had been trampled upon by King of the West, Commander Gardner twice. Their monarch, who had a terrible temper, had now completely submitted. In addition, the southern neighbor of Glavale, Nanrania, had shown some backbone but still refused to submit. As a result, nearly 200, 000 troops were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the top eight ranked strongmen within the country were all beheaded by King of the West, Commander Gardner. After this battle, Nanrania's strength had been pushed back by twenty years. Could all these achievements be accomplished by a Commander who was merely a promoted star for the purpose of creating a god? If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to conflict with King of the West, Commander Gardner, even if he were forced. However, his position required him to do certain things. A hundred years ago, Aquilandia had been one of the participating countries in Glavale's calamity, and once Glavale's fortune rose, it was bound to settle old scores with Aquilandia. Therefore, they had to find a way to prevent Glavale from rising again.
In less than an hour, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the Glavale gate.
"Commander Gardner!"
When the thousand Galewind Squadron soldiers laid eyes on Billy, they collectively dropped to one knee and cheered at the top of their lungs. They had already received word that Commander Gardner would be visiting the northern borders, and their hearts were filled with anticipation. Although they were soldiers from the North, their admiration and respect for King of the West remained unwavering. He was a prominent figure in Glavale, a true symbol of the nation's strength and resilience, deserving the reverence of every Glavale citizen.
"No need to be too formal, please get up." Billy said to the crowd, raising his hand slightly.
"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" The crowd shouted again.
"Commander Gardner!" James Harper, along with Phil Santiago and four Legion Commanders, quickly went to meet him. After arriving, he also greeted Casey and Azure Dragon.
"Hello, Commander Gardner!" James Harper and the four Legion Commanders saluted.
"General Harper, how are you and your men? How are your injuries?" Billy nodded slightly before asking.
The situation on-site was critical, so he didn't have much time for small talk with James Harper and the others.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander Gardner. We are fine, just minor injuries!" James Harper shook his head. After a brief pause, he spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I apologize, Commander Gardner. I couldn't protect General Wilson..."
"Don't blame yourself, General Harper. Aquilandia clearly came prepared this time." Billy interrupted him. He then took out several healing pills from his body and handed them to James Harper. "Please take these pills to recover slightly, and I'll handle the rest of the matter!"
"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" James Harper accepted the medicine and handed it to Phil Santiago and the others.
"Let's go meet them." Billy said and led the group towards the people from Aquilandia. Soon, they arrived at a point about two hundred meters away.
"Commander Gardner, I am Anvich from Aquilandia's War Department!" Anvich, the second-in-command of the Aquilandia War Department, recognized Billy and greeted him loudly after taking a deep breath.
"Where's General Wilson?" Billy glanced at him and asked in a cold tone.
"Lord Rukchi invited General Wilson to our camp as a guest." Anvich responded.
"You have half an hour to safely return General Wilson," Billy said sternly. "Otherwise, every one of you here will meet their end."
"Quite the bravado," a taller of the two War God-Emperors spoke up. "You must be King of the West, Commander Gardner from Glavale. Glavale hypes you up, but I don't see anything special about you."
