Chapter 771 Reaping What You Sow

Book:Lord Came Back From The Battlefield Published:2024-6-3

At this moment, Casey had basically taken control of the situation. Though his opponent’s cultivation was at the same level as his, their combat abilities were worlds apart. After just a few exchanges, the tides of defeat were evident.
“Lord Cooke, be careful!” Shouted Jenson Gildon, as he made a move to support Casey.
However, before he could even launch his attack, Billy’s assault had already arrived before him.
“Hmm?” Tyrone Cooke furrowed his brows, with no time to think, he quickly raised his hand to meet the attack.
As the foremost powerhouse of the Veridiania, his skills were quite decent, at the level of a three-star sovereign. However, at this moment, his strength compared to Billy was akin to that of an ant.
Bang!
A loud explosion rang out as Jenson Gildon was sent flying like a moving mountain, crashing to the ground and unable to get up for a long time.
“You… you’ve actually broken through to the fourth-rank sovereign realm?” After a while, Jenson Gildon looked at Billy with a look of endless shock in his eyes.
Before this, the information he had received was that Commander Gardner Billy possessed the strength of a half-step sovereign, having slain a second-rank Sovereign during the Dragon Phoenix Ranking Tournament.
That was why he hadn’t taken the initiative to attack Billy earlier, as he didn’t have the assurance of victory. But now, he had discovered that Billy had already reached the Fourth-rank Sovereign realm.
At the same time, not far away, a muffled sound rang out, followed by another old man being struck by Fabian Mills, who had rushed over, and falling to the ground lifeless after hitting the ground heavily.
“Lord Cooke…” Jenson Gildon exclaimed in pain, his face filled with despair.
“That’s enough, get up and come with us to your capital!” Billy looked at Jenson Gildon and spoke calmly.
“What… what do you want?” Jenson Gildon struggled to speak again.
“You’ll find out soon enough!” After Billy finished speaking, he looked at Stout, who had walked over. “Take him on the helicopter!”
“Alright!” Stout nodded in response.
Five minutes later, a helicopter took off and headed towards the Veridiania capital.
At the same time, in the Imperial Palace of the Veridiania capital.
Veridiania’s ruler, Oliver Davidson, led a group of ministers in receiving the guests in a magnificent hall.
There were a total of ten people on the other side, all of them Westerners, ranging in age from fifty to seventy or eighty.
“Lord Handt, Lord Tyler, you have come from afar, and on behalf of Veridiania, I welcome your arrival,” Oliver Davidson said respectfully to the two middle-aged men who were leading the group, fully aware that in the eyes of these visitors, he held no authority.
Moreover, they were not here today to sightsee in Veridiania, but to demand answers.
“Your Majesty, I won’t waste any more words!” One of the men named Hunt spoke in a deep voice. “We have come today to hear your explanation as to why so many people from our Northfortia and Xidengia were killed within your Veridiania territory.”
“Shouldn’t Veridiania give us an explanation?”
“Lord Handt, this matter was caused by Glavale’s people, and many of our Veridiania people were also killed…” One of the Veridiania ministers spoke up.
“Shut up! Lord Handt is speaking to your ruler, when is it your turn to interrupt!” A man from Northfortia angrily interrupted him.
“I’m just stating the facts…” The Veridiania minister’s brows furrowed.
As a Veridiania minister, he couldn’t even speak a word within his own country’s imperial palace. He was feeling quite furious.
“If you speak another word, you’re dead!” The Northfortia man interrupted him once again.
“You…” The Veridiania minister’s brows furrowed once more.
Before he could finish his sentence, the Northfortia man raised his hand and sent a powerful gust of wind towards him.
“Lord Curtis, be careful!” One of the Veridiania elders exclaimed in shock, at the same time blocking the attack with his palm.
Boom!
The attacks of the two clashed, causing the Veridiania elder to stagger back several steps, with the expensive tiles under his feet cracking. After stabilizing himself, the elder spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with deep fear. In Veridiania’s hall of power, he was among the top three in terms of skill, but the person in front of him easily surpassed him.
“Not bad, you managed to take my palm!” The Northfortia man glanced at him and said, “Now, take my next move!”
“Please, calm down!” Oliver Davidson took a deep breath and spoke, “On behalf of Lord Curtis, I apologize to you.”
He had no choice but to lower his head. He had discovered that not a single one of these ten people were good-natured individuals. If conflict were to break out, the two to three dozen ministers of Veridiania would be no match at all. After speaking, he looked at Handt once again, saying, “Lord Handt, what happened yesterday was indeed the work of Glavale.”
“Glavale sent a Sovereign realm expert into our Veridiania borders, and with their own strength, they killed over ten thousand people. Veridiania has also suffered heavy casualties…”
Handt coldly snorted, “Do you think it’s reasonable that your Veridiania couldn’t leave a single person behind? Don’t you find that absurd?”
“But…” Oliver Davidson took another deep breath.
“Enough with the nonsense! I didn’t come here today to listen to your explanations!” Hunt interrupted him, “I just want to know how you plan to handle this situation!”
“What do you mean, Lord Handt?” Oliver Davidson furrowed his brows and asked.
“Veridiania has two choices!” Hunt said.
“First, gather an army of five hundred thousand troops and hand them over to us. One day from now, march towards Glavale’s eastern borders!”
“Second, if you’re unwilling to send troops, then compensate Northfortia and Xidengia with one trillion dollars!”
Upon hearing his words, the people of Veridiania gasped for air, their hearts filled with anger, though no one dared to show it. Furthermore, this incident was initiated by Northfortia and Xidengia, and Veridiania was only cooperating. But now that something went wrong, they want Veridiania to take responsibility. This was what they called the theory of a big country’s banditry.
“Lord Handt, Glavale has successfully embraced their national fortune, and their national power has greatly increased.” Oliver Davidson took a deep breath and responded in a deep voice.
“Even if we gather an army of five hundred thousand, I’m afraid it would be difficult to contend with their eastern forces…”
“You don’t dare to send troops?” Handt coldly interrupted him, “Then compensate us!”
“Lord Handt, one trillion dollars might be too much, could we…” the Veridiania Prime Minister looked at him and spoke.
“No!” Hunt decisively interrupted him, “You have one day. One trillion dollars, not a penny less, or face the consequences!”
