“This is the biggest crisis!” Billy nodded slightly.
“Do you remember the news we heard from the deputy commander of Northfortia’s war department in Place of Darkness?” he asked.
“Boss, are you talking about the Western Countries Alliance, wanting to make Glavale experience a disaster like a hundred years ago?” Stout asked.
“Yes!” Billy narrowed his eyes. “In three days, it may be their best opportunity!”
Night Orchid and Stout both took a deep breath.
“Boss, to welcome the national fortune, do Casey and Azure Dragon’s five people need to rush to the Kun Lun Mountains?” Stout suddenly thought of this question.
“Of course!” Billy nodded in response.
In addition to the national fortune inheritor, several other people were needed to open up the national fortune channel. And these people not only needed great luck but also must have absolute unity with the inheritor and jointly bear baptism of national fortune. For Billy, these few people had to be selected from his most trusted fellows around him. Even without this reason, he would still take everyone together to the Kun Lun Mountains because welcoming national fortune was an opportunity that came once in a millennium for everyone; he wouldn’t let them miss it.
“What should we do then? If all five of them go to the Kun Lun Mountains, who will guard our borders?” Stout frowned tightly.
“Do you already have a contingency plan, boss?” Night Orchid looked at Billy and asked. Based on her understanding of him as their boss if he had thought about this point then surely he had also thought about how to solve it; otherwise it wouldn’t be so easygoing for him now.”
“It can’t be called a foolproof plan. It can only be considered as an adaptive method.” Billy smiled again lightly.
This time he was prepared to give some big gifts to several countries.
Just then, Billy’s phone rang; it was Casey calling.
“Casey, is there something wrong?” After pressing answer, Billy asked.
“Yes, something unusual has happened on our eastern border!” Casey’s voice came through on speakerphone.
“Oh really,”Billy said with indifference,”Tell me more specifically what happened.”
“Our inside men placed in Oriana and Veridiania reported back that recently, in name of exercises, the Western Countries Alliance sent many troops into both countries.” Casey replied
“The specific numbers haven’t been finalized yet, as there are increases every day.”
“Also, if our estimates are correct, the other three territories should have similar situations!”
“As expected!” Billy laughed again.
“Boss, they probably came for the National Day.” Casey paused briefly before continuing. “Should we take action first?”
“No,” Billy responded. “even if we wipe them out today, they will send people tomorrow. It’s meaningless. And there is no reason to send troops for now. Let the brothers below keep their guard up and stay alert in the coming days.”
“Understood!” Casey replied.
“You make a call to Vermilion Bird later,” Billy instructed after some thought. “Let him send 100, 000 Bloodshadow soldiers each to the East and South Territories respectively. And another 200, 000 Bloodshadow soldiers to the North Territory!”
The Western Territory had a total of one million Army of Bloodshadow soldiers. Before this incident occurred, 100k were already stationed in the East Territory while another 200k were taken by Azure Dragon to the South Territory.
“Got it!” Casey responded after a brief pause.
“Night Orchid! You make a call to Azure Fang and tell them that SHADOW’s five districts should each select ten thousand brothers who will station themselves at the Kun Lun Mountains’ foothills and focus on monitoring those who entered the Kun Lun Mountains recently.”
“Yes sir!” Night Orchid nodded in response.
“Stout! You make a call to Bob and Ian each and let them select twenty thousand elite soldiers respectively who will join the SHADOW’s brothers at the Kun Lun Mountains’ foothills.” Billy then turned towards Stout saying,
“Okay!” Stout also nodded along with his response.
As soon as these orders were given by Billy everything outside became tense immediately; air routes made way one after another while several major military departments deployed their troops overnight.
Ordinary citizens living near borders could feel that something was different from usual over these past few days.
SHADOW’s five districts mobilized ten thousand elite soldiers each heading towards the Kun Lun Mountains’ foothills; dozens of flights from Capital City headed westward at exactly same time too.
Just when Billy finished giving instructions, Ivy called him informing that Prime Minister invited him over.
An hour later Stout drove his car carrying Billy into the Cabinet Courtyard where Ivy greeted them upon arrival.
“Hey, Ivy, what does Minister Woolery want with boss?” Stout asked.
“It’s none of your business, go away!” Ivy glared at her brother. Then, she turned to Billy and said, “Billy, the four elders of the War Department, General Wilson, and Uncle Adam are all in Prime Minister’s office. It seems they have something important to discuss with you.”
“Oh?” Billy paused for a moment. “Do you know what it’s about?”
“I’m not sure either,” Ivy shook her head.
“Well, let’s go.” Billy said, walking towards the main courtyard. Ivy and Stout followed closely behind.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Urban Woolery’s office.
“Minister Woolery!” Billy called out as he looked towards Urban Woolery, then greeted Milo Guzman and the others.
“Haha, Commander Gardner, please have a seat!” Urban Woolery chuckled and pointed to the sofa.
“Thank you!” Billy responded with a smile.
“Minister Woolery, you can talk to Billy. I’ll wait outside if you need me,” Ivy said to Urban Woolery.
“Ivy, you and the big guy are not outsiders. No need to avoid it, sit down and listen together,” Urban Woolery smiled again.
Stout, who was already full of curiosity, sat down on the sofa after hearing Urban Woolery’s words.
“Thank you, Minister Woolery!” Ivy smiled and sat down next to Stout.
“Commander Gardner, there are two main matters I want to discuss with you today,” Urban Woolery said, looking at Billy.
“No need to be polite, please go ahead,” Billy replied calmly.
“Elder Guzman, why don’t you start with the first matter?” Urban Woolery turned to Milo.
“Sure!” Milo nodded and then looked at Billy. “Commander Gardner, we would like to consult your opinion regarding the transfer of several key personnel in the War Department.”
“I discussed with Donald, and we plan to promote Vermilion Bird to the Western Border Marshal, transfer Azure Dragon to the Eastern Border Marshal position, and promote Black Tortoise to the Southern Border Marshal,” Milo said, lifting his teacup and taking a sip.
Upon hearing this, Billy was slightly taken aback but remained silent.
“Huh?” Stout, who was beside them, exclaimed in surprise. “Elder Guzman, if Azure Dragon becomes the Eastern Border Marshal, what about Casey?”
“General Kimmons will be transferred to the capital to take over my position!” Cole Wilson chuckled from the side.
