The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Bloodshadow Forbidden Guard

Before the words settled, the blade's edge descended from behind him. Instantly, a trail of blood appeared from the back of Angus Rizzo's head, extending all the way down to his waist.

Angus twitched a few times before collapsing to the ground, motionless.

Witnessing this scene, the hall filled with several gasps of shock. The King of Tyren wore expressions of disbelief.

"Are Glavale's men always this decisive? One dead, one crippled, as soon as they made a move!" Hunting thought.

More importantly, there was even a duke of Tyren among them, who had been killed.

After a short while, Hunting took a deep breath and stood up, walking to Billy's side and offering a respectful bow.

"Many thanks to Commander Gardner for exposing this traitorous duke. I'm forever grateful for your immense favor!"

Hunting's attitude was sincere, and his tone was respectful. He genuinely meant his thanks to Billy. If it weren't for Billy Gardner this time, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as the ruler of the country, let alone his life. Billy had saved him.

"It's no big deal!" Billy responded indifferently, then pointed at the fallen duke on the ground. "I'm taking him with me. Do you have any objections, Your Majesty?"

"Please proceed!" Hunting nodded after a slight pause.

For him, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want Billy to take this man away. After all, the elder was a duke of Tyren, well-informed about the kingdom's affairs. Handing him over was akin to giving away all of Tyren's secrets.

From then on, Tyren would likely be completely subservient to Glavale, and no one, including Hunting, would be willing to accept that. However, at the moment, he clearly had no other choice. The fact that Billy didn't hold this incident against him was already an act of great mercy.

"Rest assured, I'm not interested in your kingdom's secrets. I just need him to come with me as a witness." Billy perceived the king's thoughts.

"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" Hunting nodded.

"In addition, I kindly request that Your Majesty keeps this matter confidential for three days. Don't let any news leak during this time." Billy continued.

"OK! You can rest assured that I won't reveal a single word."

Hunting naturally understood Billy's intentions, which was intending to settle scores with some individuals in his own country.

Five minutes later, Billy and his group bid farewell and left. Hunting escorted them to the official vehicle reserved for guests, expressing his gratitude once again. Furthermore, he had prepared two special boxes of gifts for Billy, all containing rare and precious herbs. Stout's heart bloomed with joy because among them was a certain herb that he had been searching for tirelessly recently. With this herb, Billy's task for him was nearly half completed.

"Your Majesty, are you really allowing them take away the duke so easily? He's aware of many things. They..."

As the official vehicle slowly pulled away, one of the leaders turned to Hunting and inquired.

"Do you have another solution?" Hunting's voice grew solemn as he interrupted. "Enough, we need not discuss this further. I believe in Billy Gardner's character."

"Furthermore, if he truly wanted to deal with us, he wouldn't have shown leniency a year ago."

After saying this, he turned his head to another leader and issued orders in a serious tone.

"Send out the orders, summon the other three commanders to the capital without delay. No mistakes allowed! In addition, dispatch the Forbidden Guards to seal the duke's residence and arrest all individuals associated with him!"

"Aye, Your Majesty!" the man responded loudly and took out his phone to start arranging.

Hunting then turned to another person and instructed, "Inform the others to closely monitor the developments in Glavale over the next period of time. Report any news immediately!"

"Aye, Your Majesty!" the man nodded vigorously.

...

"That's not hard to figure out!" Black Tortoise spoke in a deep voice. "For such a big incident, without the approval of their commander, who underneath would dare to make the decision?"

"It's only speculation and there's no evidence." Stout replied.

"This is easily resolved. Just capture the head of the Leonard family and question them directly!" White Tiger suggested.

"Boss, let us go to the capital. If the Leonard family dares to commit such a heinous act, I'll wipe out their entire clan!"

"Boss!" Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise protested.

"For the record, Azure Dragon is already in the capital. Coupled with you three going, all four Western Camp commanders will be there. What do you intend to do?" Billy glanced at the three. "Afraid that the people won't talk behind your backs?"

"Who cares? As long as we annihilate the Leonard family, let's see who dares to say anything!" White Tiger seemed annoyed by the overthinking.

"White Tiger, enough of the chatter. Listen to Boss's arrangements!" Vermilion Bird chided.

"Black Tortoise, have the Bloodshadow guard unit take the duke to the capital. Hand him over to Casey. He knows what to do!" Billy spoke calmly.

Hearing this, the three choked simultaneously, their mouths twitching involuntarily.

The Bloodshadow guard unit, officially known as the Bloodshadow Forbidden Guard, was comprised of ten squads, each containing one hundred members. Every single one of them was a survivor who had crawled out from a pile of corpses and a sea of blood.

The members possessed exceptional combat prowess within the entire Army of Bloodshadow, all at least in the mid-to-late stages of the Battle General Realm and some even breaking through to the mid-stage of the BAttle God Realm. Their blades would draw blood once unsheathed!

Having the Bloodshadow Forbidden Guard step forward was, to some extent, even more dramatic than having Vermilion Bird and the other two do so. It meant death without end.
