Billy recognized someone familiar in the crowd, the Prime Minister of Aquilandia, Caruno!
“Greetings, Prime Minister!” In the next moment, the people around them all bowed simultaneously.
“Lord Dragon, I apologize on behalf of the monarch. I’m truly sorry for the trouble Aquilandia has caused you.” Caruno quickly walked up to Billy and bowed deeply, ignoring the surrounding crowd. Speaking, his heart was in turmoil. Before coming here today, he was unaware that Glavale had already started a war with Aquilandia. Along the way, he was still thinking that there would probably be a fierce battle between him and Garrard today. But when he arrived at the city, he discovered that the core members of Garrard’s camp had already been killed. Especially when he saw Garrard lying on the ground like a dead dog, he was even more shocked. He didn’t expect that with just a small group of people, Billy would be able to take down the city of Aquilandia. Caruno was once again grateful that their Monarch had gradually adjusted the diplomatic policy with Glavale in recent years. Otherwise, the future of Aquilandia would have been truly worrying.
“Greetings, Lord Dragon!” The nine men who followed behind Caruno bowed to Billy.
“No need for excessive courtesy!” Billy waved his hand and looked at Caruno. “Since Minister Caruno is here, I leave these matters to you!”
“Thank you, Lord Dragon, for your understanding!” Caruno responded.
“It’s okay.” Billy smiled lightly and continued, “Is everything settled in your country?”
Since Caruno personally came to the Polar Domain, the internal affairs of Aquilandia should be almost resolved.
“Thank you for your concern, Lord Dragon. There are no major issues anymore,” Caruno nodded in response.
“That’s good!” Billy smiled again.
“Lord Dragon, what about the people outside the city?” Another white-haired old man looked at Billy and spoke.
“Opal, please tell Amber and the others to stop.” Billy turned to Opal.
“Alright!” Opal nodded and flew out of the city.
“Thank you, Lord Dragon!” The white-haired old man bowed in response.
At the same time, a neat and orderly sound of footsteps came from the direction of the city gate. Nearly four thousand men and women from Aquilandia walked in formation. From their aura, it was clear that their cultivation levels were not weak. These people were obviously the Aquilandia government army led by Caruno.
“Greetings, Prime Minister. Please give your instructions!” The man at the head of the group walked up to Caruno and bowed.
“Bring all the people outside the city in. From today onwards, no one is allowed to leave the city without my permission!” Caruno spoke in a solemn voice.
“Understood!” The man nodded vigorously and led the others towards the city gate.
“Lord Dragon, shall we go inside and have a seat?” Caruno looked at Billy and spoke.
“No, you have a lot to attend to here. Let’s talk another day!” Billy waved his hand.
“Okay.” Caruno didn’t insist. He indeed had a lot to do. After a slight pause, he added, “Once I’m done with my tasks in the next two days, I’ll visit you in Glavale!”
“Then it’s settled!” Billy nodded.
“By the way, Lord Dragon, the princess asked me to thank you on her behalf!” Caruno continued. “She’s been in seclusion these past few days and said she’ll express her gratitude to you in person next time!”
“The princess is thoughtful!” Billy smiled lightly. “Farewell, until next time!”
“Thank you again!” Caruno nodded in response.
A few minutes later, Billy arrived outside the city gate. Taking a look around, the battle between the two sides had already stopped. There were around four to five thousand people lying on the ground, either dead or injured. Glavale’s compatriots suffered casualties of around four to five hundred people.
Shortly after, the army of tens of thousands began their journey back to the city of Glavale. The Aquilandia matter had come to a temporary end. For the next few days, there were no special arrangements, so Billy and his group seized the opportunity to cultivate in the courtyard. As the time to go to the Central Polar Domain drew nearer, everyone felt the immense pressure weighing on them. After getting to know the Polar Domain during this period, they had a vague sense that in the Central Polar Domain, even speaking loudly on the streets was not allowed without the cultivation level of a Saint. It was worth mentioning that in recent days, representatives from various countries had come to the city of Glavale. Their purpose was simple – to show goodwill to Glavale and express their willingness to form an alliance. Billy had anticipated this, as it was only natural for other countries to approach Glavale when their own country grew stronger. Furthermore, on the fourth day after returning to the city from the Northern Polar Domain, Alice Scott arrived with her entourage.
She first met with Billy and the others in the courtyard before heading to the Lord’s Mansion. James Reynolds personally received her, and after more than an hour of discussion, he immediately dispatched eight thousand men to assist her. Before Alice Scott left, James Reynolds inquired about the situation with her grandfather and her father, Clarence Scott.
Alice responded that her grandfather’s intention was to settle other matters after everything assigned by Lord Dragon had been taken care of. James Reynolds didn’t say much in response, but he did mention that the gates of Glavale were always open for the Scott family.
“Boss, there are still a few days left until the Guardians’ election. Should we go to the Southern Polar Domain first?”
In the evening, Billy and his group were chatting in the front yard when Azure Dragon looked at Billy and asked.
“Azure Dragon, why go there suddenly?” Black Tortoise questioned, puzzled.
“Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon is thinking about the place mentioned by the head of Last Blood Sect!” Frostblade said with a faint smile.
Back in the Polar City, in order to save their lives, Last Blood Sect had informed Billy about a relic they accidentally discovered. From what they had heard, the relic was guarded by high-level a Demonic Beast and surely contained some treasures.
“Oh, I completely forgot about that!” Black Tortoise’s eyes lit up.
“Azure Dragon, is this relic in the Southern Polar Domain?” Judge asked at the same time.
“According to the coordinates on the map, it’s about four to five hundred kilometers away from Jadehaven City, the largest city in the southern part.” Azure Dragon said, taking out the map.
“What relic is this? Is it something interesting?” Amber Barnes, who had been chatting with Harleen, walked over, her face full of curiosity.
“Amber, all we know for now is that there is a high-level Demonic Beast guarding that place, but we’re not sure about anything else,” Ivy responded. Immediately after, she repeated the words spoken by the head of Last Blood Sect at that time.
“It sounds interesting!” Amber’s eyes lit up. “Little Ling, since we have nothing better to do, let’s go check it out!” After saying that, she turned to Opal and asked, “Opal, what do you think?”
“A place guarded by a high-level Demonic Beast must be extraordinary.” Opal pondered for a moment before continuing, “Amber, take everyone to have a look!”
“Aren’t you going, Opal?” Harleen asked.
“I won’t go!” Opal shook her head. “I’ll go to the western area first. Call me when you’re done, and we’ll meet up in the Western Polar Domain.”
“Opal, the Western area is Northfortia’s territory. Isn’t it dangerous for you to go alone?” Night Orchid said, slightly startled.
“Don’t worry! As long as I don’t go to the central part, other places shouldn’t be a problem!”
“Opal, Northfortia has probably sent quite a few people from the central area to the west. Be careful!” Billy said after some thought.
“Okay!” Opal nodded again. “You all take care too, prioritize safety and act within your capabilities!”
