“Want to silence him? Too late!” Billy’s voice rang out.
Immediately, a blood-red blade flashed by, blocking the opponent’s palm strength.
“Lord Dragon, you…” Peter Thomas took a few steps back, his brow furrowed.
At the same time, Casey, Harleen, and Ivy quickly moved to protect Brian Hill in front of him. Then, Ivy flicked her wrist and three silver needles penetrated Brian Hill’s body, sealing the remaining part of his power.
“General Reynolds, listen up!” Billy then looked at James Reynolds and shouted loudly.
“I’m here, ready to take your orders, Lord Dragon!” James Reynolds responded loudly.
“Seal the city, starting from today and for the next three days, no one is allowed to enter or exit without my permission! Anyone who attempts to break through the city gates shall be killed without mercy!” Billy instructed.
“Yes, sir!” James Reynolds hesitated for a moment before responding loudly, then raised his hand and gestured, “Move out!”
Including the deputy commander, Timothy Coates, all the warriors simultaneously took action and ran in an orderly manner towards the four city gates.
“Lord Dragon,” Jeremy Jackson took a deep breath and spoke up.
“Mr Reynolds, when I came from the capital to the Polar Domain this time, the Emperor only gave me one instruction, which is to thoroughly investigate this matter!” Billy interrupted him. “Such a treacherous act goes against all reason. No matter who pleads for mercy, it won’t do any good! I will personally interrogate and punish everyone involved!”
Sweat beads dripped down many people’s foreheads, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes. Jeremy Jackson let out a heavy breath and steadied his emotions before continuing to speak. “Lord Dragon, the situation in the Polar Domain is not optimistic. If we waste our energy on this matter, it will be difficult to explain to the capital if there are problems elsewhere…”
“I will bear all the consequences!” Billy interrupted him again. After speaking, he waved his hand towards Casey and the others, “Take him away!”
“Yes!” Casey nodded in response.
“Sir, save me…” Brian Hill looked towards Daniel Hill and struggled to speak.
However, at this moment, Daniel Hill had no time to care about his life or death. He still didn’t know how to put out the fire on his own backside.
Five minutes later, two members of the Hill family brought Paige Martin out, who had injuries all over her body.
“The Hill family, quite impressive!” After roughly examining Paige Martin’s injuries, Billy turned to Daniel Hill and said a few words before leading everyone away.
For the next three days, Billy didn’t go anywhere, just staying in the town to handle this matter. During this time, there were constant attempts by people to leave the town using various methods, but they were all stopped. A few people even tried to forcefully break through the checkpoint, only to be personally killed by James Reynolds.
On the other hand, with Stout’s little bug, Brian Hill’s mouth was pried open within ten minutes. Not only did he confess to this incident, but also the previous two incidents were fully exposed.
As he obtained the list, a cold glint flashed in Billy’s eyes. This town was really in need of a major operation. The list contained a total of forty to fifty people, with more than half of them being from the four major families, especially the Thomas, Hill, and Bell families, including the heads of the three families. Moreover, most of these people held important positions, which was why the Thomas and Hill families dared to boast that the capital couldn’t control this place. This town was almost like the private residence of the major families.
Later on, James Reynolds and Timothy Coates led the four legion commanders to capture people throughout the city. At first, they faced fierce resistance. But after James Reynolds personally killed a few people, the rest became obedient.
On the fourth day in the morning, Ernest Shepherd and the other two returned to the town When they learned the whole story from Billy, they were filled with anger and sorrow.
“Lord Dragon, if we execute the heads of the Thomas, Hill, and Bell families, will it provoke retaliation from their factions?” Otis Hum asked Billy, concerned.
“Not executing them will not convince the others!” Billy interrupted him firmly. After a brief pause, he asked Otis Hum, “What about the Jackson family?”
“Their old master used to serve in the capital’s cabinet and was recommended by the Prime Minister to come to the Polar Domain for work,” Ernest Shepherd explained. “During his tenure, he made significant contributions to expanding Glavale’s territory in the Polar Domain. After he grew older, his son, Jeremy Jackson, took over as the city lord while he returned to the capital. He still resides in the cabinet compound.”
“Is that so?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
“Lord Dragon, is Jeremy Jackson deeply involved in this matter?” Ernest Shepherd continued to inquire.
“His name is not on the list, but several core members of his family are involved!” Billy replied.
“As a city lord, I refuse to believe he was unaware of this!” Bob interjected.
“If he didn’t turn a blind eye, the heads of the three families would not have dared to commit such acts…”
“Bob.” Billy waved his hand to stop him.
“He should know better!” Bob muttered under his breath.
“Bob, keep quiet!” Ivy interrupted him.
“Alright.” Bob shrugged his shoulders.
“Elder Shepherd, when will you and the others return to the capital?” asked Billy.
“Because you, Lord Dragon, and General Kimmons came to the Polar Domain, the War Department cannot be left unattended. So Guzman will be leaving today. As for me and Hum, before we came here, the Prime Minister instructed us to follow your arrangements.”
“Understood!” Billy nodded and then looked at Milo Guzman.
“Grand Elder, before I set off for the Polar Domain this time, I gave a list to General Wilson. The people on the list are all brothers from the Army of Bloodshadow. After you return, meet with them one by one and have a chat. Among them, four individuals can be considered for the position of deputy commander, allowing them to temporarily oversee the four major war zones.”
“I see.” Milo Guzman nodded solemnly.
At ten o’clock that morning, all the people in the town were gathered in the central square. Under Billy’s orders, twenty people were executed in public, including the heads of the Thomas, Hill and Bell families. The remaining thirty people had their cultivation crippled and were sent back to the country. As for what would happen to them after returning, Billy no longer cared.
Although half of these fifty people possessed mid to late-stage Sovereign-realm strength, losing so many people in an instant had a significant impact on the town. But in Billy’s dictionary, there was no room for compromise. When it came to killing, there was no tolerance.
Seeing this scene, many people had expressions of relief on their faces. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that Jeremy Jackson publicly admitted his managerial negligence in front of everyone and resigned from his position as city lord. Billy accepted his resignation and appointed James Reynolds as the new city lord. At the same time, Otis Hum was appointed as the deputy city lord in charge of internal affairs, and Ernest Shepherd took James Reynolds’ previous position as the commander of the Polar Forces.
Afterwards, Billy stood on the stage and delivered an impassioned speech. The tens of thousands of people present were filled with passion, and the applause thundered, lasting for a long time! At noon that day, after finishing lunch, Milo Guzman bid farewell and left with the others.
“Lord Dragon, when will we depart for the Frost Palace?” After seeing off Milo Guzman, James Reynolds asked Billy.
The Frost Palace killed four hundred of their compatriots. They had to settle this scor
