“Audacious!” The man on the other side clearly didn’t take Harleen’s sword strike seriously. With a cold voice, he quickly unleashed a web of incredibly sharp knife attacks towards Harleen. However, to his horror, Harleen’s sword energy effortlessly tore through his web of attacks, piercing through his chest.
The man opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word, falling to the ground with copious amounts of blood gushing from his chest. At the same time, Ivy’s opponent also fell to the ground, a bloody hole in his throat, blood spurting out.
“Harleen, Ivy, are you both okay?” Billy looked at the two women and smiled lightly.
“We’re fine!” they both shook their heads simultaneously.
“Good, take a moment to rest!” Billy continued.
“Alright!” they responded once again.
After about three minutes, Grand Ravenwood’s figure appeared before everyone’s eyes, not a single injury visible on him.
“Elder Ravenwood, what about that old monster?” Stout asked.
“He served as my sparring partner for a while and went down!” Grand Ravenwood replied indifferently.
It felt like the Aquilandia group had come today specifically to be everyone’s sparring partners.
“Thank you again, Lord Dragon!” After everyone returned to the carriage, Princess Eligina looked at Billy gratefully.
“You’re welcome.” Billy smiled lightly.
The carriage continued for over half an hour and arrived at the dock where Billy and the others had originally landed. After some coordination between Soya and the dock staff, they directly chartered a cruise ship to Domain City. Billy and the others were surprised that they could do this.
Money makes the world go round, truly universal.
“Thank you once again, Lord Dragon and Lady Dragon, for your great kindness!” Princess Eligina bowed deeply to Billy and his wife. Then, she turned to Ivy and the others and said, “Thank you, Lord Chandler and everyone, for your help!”
“You’re most welcome!” Harleen and Ivy both spoke at the same time.
“Princess Eligina, once you arrive in the Polar City, you should be safe, right?” Stout asked.
“Yes! My father has arranged for people to wait for us there!” Eligina nodded in response. After saying that, she looked at everyone and continued speaking. “Everyone, this is where we part ways. Once things in Aquilandia are settled, I will come to the Polar Domain to thank you all!”
Harleen smiled in response.
“For me, there is no greater help than what all of you have done for me!” Eligina bowed again. “Until we meet again!” After saying that, she turned and walked towards the cruise ship. In that moment, she cast a deep affectionate glance at Billy.
Throughout history, beauties have always been drawn to heroes, and this saying is not exclusive to Glavale women. Though Eligina had limited interactions with Billy, he had saved her from danger multiple times, combined with Billy’s near-perfect charisma, how could she not be moved? However, she knew that Billy had no romantic intentions towards her, so she could only bury these feelings in her heart.
Ten minutes later, once Billy and the others boarded the carriage, they headed towards the direction of the city. Just as the carriage had left for a while, Billy’s satellite phone rang.
“Casey, what’s the matter?” Billy answered the call and asked.
After Casey said something on the other end of tPatrick Nicholsone, a chill emanated from Billy.
“Take care of yourselves and call me if anything happens!” Billy replied.
“Billy, is something wrong?” Ivy asked as soon as Billy hung up the phone.
“Just received news that the four locations in the Eastern Domain where Glavale is dispersed have all been attacked!” Billy said in a grave tone.
“What?” Bob exclaimed. “Boss, do you know who did this?”
“I’m not sure yet,” Billy furrowed his brow.
“Could it be the people from Northfortia?” Azure Fang spoke up. “We killed their vice commander, maybe they’re seeking revenge?”
“It’s possible,” Billy nodded, then dialed James Reynolds’ number on his phone.
“Lord Dragon, I was just about to call you!” James Reynolds’ voice came through the receiver. “Did General Kimmons already inform you?”
“Just got off the phone with him!” Billy replied and continued the conversation. “Lord Reynolds, inform the leaders at each point to evacuate immediately, no need to hold on until the last breath! Emphasize to them not to make reckless sacrifices, this is a military order!”
“Understood!” James Reynolds responded loudly.
“In addition, send me the coordinates of the point closest to the dock, I’ll go there immediately to check it out.” Billy continued.
“Alright!” James Reynolds responded again. “I’ll take my men to the other three points right away!”
“But you don’t need to go, you and Elder Shepherd should stay in the city to prevent falling into their trap!” Billy said after a moment of thought. “Notify Elder Wood and the other four to rush to those three points as quickly as possible!”
“Got it!” James Reynolds hesitated for a moment before responding seriously. After hanging up the phone, he sent the coordinates of one of the points to Billy’s phone.
Billy quickly glanced at the location. It wasn’t in the direction of the city, but about five to six hundred kilometers away from the dock.
“Stout, go to this place as fast as possible!” Billy handed his phone to Stout.
“Alright!” Stout took the phone and nodded vigorously.
Soon, the snow carriage sped off at an increased speed of more than fifty percent compared to usual. In a valley five to six hundred kilometers away from the dock, there was a sizable green area with a moderate-sized estate built on it. This place was one of Glavale’s four main branch points in the Eastern Region. Within a few dozen kilometers around this valley, there were abundant natural resources, which was why Glavale chose to establish a point here. Outside the estate’s gates, almost a thousand people crowded towards the entrance, most of them Westerners, with a few Eastern faces among them. Inside the estate, four to five hundred Glavale compatriots gathered in the small square in front of the courtyard. Each of their faces wore a solemn expression.
“Commander, what did the City Lord say?” At this moment, an old man in gray robes looked at the leader, Patrick Nicholson, and asked.
“The City Lord ordered us to retreat!” Patrick Nicholson put away the satellite phone and responded.
“Retreat?” The old man paused. “We fought so hard to take this place, are we just going to give it up like this?”
“Yes, Commander, if we retreat now, all our previous efforts will be in vain!” Another black-robed old man spoke up simultaneously.
“Commander, the enemy only has a thousand people, we can fight them, we might not necessarily lose!” someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
“Commander, give the order, let’s fight them!” Many others shouted out at the same time.
