The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 533 General Harper, Slay Another Hundred!

Azure Dragon stood nearby, his face similarly pale, and he wore a grave expression. He understood what this situation meant. Today, he and the others might not make it out alive. What concerned him most was Billy. Glavale was still waiting for Billy to usher in a thousand years of prosperity.

Thinking about this, he shook his head slightly, his temples throbbing. Then, he looked at Billy and said, "Boss, you should go. Don't worry about us."

"All three of you focus on protecting General Wilson." Billy ordered.

"Understood." Casey and Stout both responded.

Military orders were absolute, with no room for debate. Since Billy had given the order, their duty was to carry it out.

"King of the West, I'll give you a chance." George continued. "As long as you kill yourself, we can consider releasing General Wilson."

Although George was confident of his victory, if he could avoid combat and kill Billy, it would be even better.

"Commander Gardner, don't listen to his nonsense. People from Northfortia can't be trusted!" Cole Wilson shouted loudly.

"Rukchi, let's make the exchange." Billy said, kicking Anvik, who was lying on the ground, before looking at Rukchi and speaking calmly.

"Lord Rukchi, don't make a trade with him. At least make him disable his cultivation first before any exchange!" a man from Xidengia suggested.

"Yes! No exchange!" others from different nations chimed in, each one raising their voices higher than the last.

After all, it wasn't their own countrymen who were captured. Even if Anvik was killed, it had nothing to do with them. Keeping Glavale's General Wilson on their side would give them an extra ace in case they needed it.

"General, save me!" Anvik managed to speak, though it was a struggle.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. They won't dare to kill you," Rukchi responded, taking a deep breath.

"Are you saying you don't want to make the exchange?" Billy squinted at Rukchi. After a brief pause, he turned to Casey and said, "Make a video call to General Harper."

"Yes," Casey nodded and dialed James Harper's number. Soon, James Harper's image appeared on the holographic display.

"Commander Gardner, how are you doing? What about General Wilson..." James began asking, but Billy cut him off.

"General Harper, execute ten Aquilandian captives." Billy ordered directly.

"Yes, Commander!" James Harper replied, a bit startled but following his orders.

As the images of ten Aquilandian captives appeared on the holographic display, Rukchi cried out, "How dare you?!"

"Now!" Billy ordered.

As he completed the sentence, the projection displayed the images of ten heads rising into the air, with ten blood geysers shooting skyward.

"Damn it, you're all damned!" Rukchi roared, his face turning ashen with anger.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Are you exchanging or not?" Billy glanced at him and spoke in a calm tone.

"Don't!" Several bystanders, who enjoyed the spectacle, shouted again.

Rukchi gave them a cold look, then turned to Billy and said in a deep voice, "You will regret this."

"Not exchanging yet?" Billy's tone became heavy. "General Harper, behead another hundred!"

"Affirmative!" James Harper responded loudly.

"Stop!" Rukchi shouted, "I'll trade with you!" He had no doubt that if he didn't switch, Billy would execute all five thousand of Aquilandia's people.

"Lord Rukchi, don't let him threaten

you. We'll act now and capture King

of the West. They won't dare to harm Aquilandia's people once we've got him!" George said loudly while raising his hand and signaling to attack. As he spoke, he raised his hand and gave a wave, saying, "Go for it!"

A commotion ensued as everyone around started moving simultaneously, and their auras rapidly surged. At that moment, a holographic projection once again displayed images of ten Aquilandian people being beheaded.

"Stop!" Rukchi shouted towards the surroundings, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Billy. "I can exchange the hostage with you, but you must ensure your army releases five thousand Aquilandian people." "You think we're a bunch of idiots?" Stout cursed. "Release your five thousand people and then have us all killed?"

"King of the West, you should be well aware that this whole setup is aimed at you. We've already come this far, and we won't stop until we achieve our goal. Rukchi continued without paying much attention to Stout "If you're not willing to exchange my five thousand Aquilandians for General Wilson, and you're thinking of using their lives to ensure your safety, then you're being too naive."

"Trading five thousand of Aquilandian lives for your head, no matter how you calculate it, it's a deal worth making!"

"Who told you I wanted to use their lives to ensure my safety?" Billy replied in a serious tone. "I stand proudly in this world, and I don't need anyone to ensure my safety. Release General Wilson, as long as he safely leaves this base, I'll release the five thousand people!"

"Deal!" Rukchi's eyes brightened, and he then gestured, "Release him!"

Upon hearing this, George, who was nearby, had considered voicing objections but thought better of it. Aquilandia had five thousand people in Billy's hands, and Rukchi was sure to be cautious. If they didn't resolve the matter of these five thousand people first, Rukchi might not be in the mood to deal with Billy Gardner.

"Understood!" The man guarding Cole Wilson removed the large blade from his throat.

Cole Wilson took a deep breath and quickly walked over to Billy.

"General Wilson!" Casey and Azure Dragon both welcomed him.

"Stout, release Anvik!" Billy turned to Stout and issued the command.

"Yes, Commander!" Stout nodded, then forcefully kicked Anvik, sending him flying to a spot not far from Rukchi, who spat out a mouthful of blood upon landing heavily.

"You scoundrel!" Rukchi shouted.

"If you have the guts, come and bite me!" Stout retorted with a smirk.

"You..." Rukchi was fuming but took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He then raised his hand and said, "Escort Lord Anvik for medical treatment."

"Understood!" Two men responded, helped Anvik to his feet, and then turned to leave.

"King of the West, can we release my people now?" Rukchi asked Billy.

"General Wilson, let me check your condition." Billy ignored him and proceeded to examine Cole Wilson.

After a quick assessment, Billy gestured and sent a wisp of energy into Cole Wilson's abdomen, releasing the seal. Exhaling, General Wilson's body exuded a formidable aura, displaying his late-stage War Grandmaster level of cultivation.

"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" Cole expressed his gratitude to Billy.

"Not a problem, General Wilson." Billy replied with a faint smile and then turned to Casey and the others.

"Escort General Wilson out of here."
