“Lord Dragon, we need to leave the Western part quickly. Once you return to the East, you will be safe.” Linda continued to speak.
“No, Northfortia doesn’t have the qualifications to make me flee!” Billy looked at her and replied.
“Lord Dragon, I’m not joking this time,” Linda’s tone sounded slightly anxious. “In order to capture you alive, Northfortia has sent a powerful camp. There are several mid-level Holy Saints among them. You won’t stand a chance!”
“What the hell! Are you serious?” Bob responded.
“How many mid-level Saint old things does your city have? They wouldn’t have sent them all, right?”
“Northfortia knows that the key to the battle between Glavale and us lies with Lord Dragon,” Linda continued. “As long as we capture Lord Dragon, everything will be resolved. So, Commander Miller is determined to take you down. He knows Lord Dragon is formidable, so nearly half of the high-level forces in the city have been dispatched.”
“Tsk tsk, he really thinks highly of our boss!” Bob added.
“Thank you for your concern, but please leave,” Billy glanced at Linda. “It’s not in your best interest to be seen coming to find us!”
“Lord Dragon…”
“That’s all.” Billy interrupted her and turned around to walk to the carriage.
“Lord Dragon,” Linda seemed to still hold onto some hope.
“If you listen to my advice, don’t stay in the Polar Domain any longer. Go back to your country, this place isn’t suitable for you.” Billy said, shaking his head without looking back.
Linda stood there, her mouth slightly agape as if she wanted to say a few more words, but eventually gave up.
“Your Highness, shall we go too?” the old man spoke up once Billy and the others’ carriage had moved farther away.
“Can’t Northfortia and Glavale coexist peacefully?” Linda gazed ahead with a complex expression.
“It’s too difficult!” the old man shook his head in response. “The ultimate goal of Northfortia is to dominate the world, and the biggest obstacle in achieving that goal is Glavale! Unless Glavale is willing to submit to us like other countries, there will inevitably be a war between the two nations!”
“Make Glavale submit? That’s ridiculous!” Linda sneered. “Looking at Glavale’s thousands of years of history, they have never submitted to any other country, right? Even during the catastrophe a hundred years ago, when Glavale was on the brink of collapse, they never showed any intention of submission!”
“That’s right!” the old man nodded.
“Then why do some people in our country have so much confidence that they can make Glavale submit?” Linda spoke again. “I really don’t know where their confidence comes from!” After exhaling a breath, she continued, “I’ll talk to my father when I go back this time.”
“Your Highness it’s better not to,” the old man shook his head. “You’ve already said enough before. If you continue like this, it will be detrimental to you. And, you should be well aware that the matters between Northfortia and Glavale are not decided by our Lord alone.”
“I understand,” Linda nodded slightly with a pensive expression. After that, she turned and walked towards her carriage.
Meanwhile, Billy and his group continued on their journey.
“Stout, what did that princess from Northfortia say to you?” Azure Dragon asked Stout inside the carriage.
“She told us to leave the Western Polar Domain quickly. She said that Northfortia will soon send people to intercept us and capture the boss alive!” Stout smacked his lips and replied.
“Is that true?” Azure Dragon raised an eyebrow. “She’s not bad, and she even has good intentions!”
“Billy, you really have quite the charm!” Amber looked at Billy with a meaningful expression.
“To make that the princess of Northfortia betray her own country for you, not bad at all!”
“Uh…” Billy’s lips twitched slightly.
Chuckling, Ivy smiled and said, “Amber, don’t tease Billy like that, or Harleen will come after him!”
“Amber, you misunderstand Billy,” Harleen chimed in with a smile. “Because before this, Billy spared her life twice, so it’s only natural for her to feel grateful.”
“Harleen, if you spoil him like this, you might regret it one day,” Amber replied.
“Thanks for the reminder, Amber. I believe in Billy!” Harleen stuck out her tongue playfully.
“You innocent girl…” Amber started to say, but stopped midway, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. “They’ve arrived quite quickly!”
“What do you mean?” Stout asked, confused. “Did people from Northfortia arrive so soon?”
“Yes!” Amber’s face turned serious. “They really went all out!”
“They’ve arrived!” At the same time, Night Orchid pointed ahead to the empty space.
Everyone looked and saw nearly twenty figures floating in mid-air, all of them soaring through the sky, clearly mid-level Saints.
“Damn!” Judge couldn’t help but curse at the sight.
“Amber, can you sense their cultivation levels?” Casey furrowed her brows.
“Three Fifth-rank, four Fourth-rank, four Third-rank, two Second-rank and six First-rank!” Amber frowned. She didn’t expect Northfortia to send such a formidable force to deal with Billy.
“Damn!” Upon hearing Amber’s words, both Soul Chaser and Stout cursed.
“Northfortia’s city suddenly has so many mid-level Saints?” Azure Dragon furrowed his brows. “Are they all from the Central Polar Domain?”
“Most likely!” Azure Fang replied. “Before this, we only heard that their commander had the cultivation level of a Fifth-rank Saint!”
“That princess from Northfortia said that this is only half of their high-level battle force, right?” Felicia exclaimed in disbelief.
“It seems so!” Soul Chaser replied. “Northfortia is truly terrifying!”
“Boss, what should we do?” Stout swallowed nervously and spoke up. “Should we run?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ivy slapped him on the back of his head, causing stars to appear in his eyes.
“Ivy, I’m serious. With their current strength, we don’t stand a chance!” Stout scratched the back of his head and said.
“Shut up!” Ivy glared at him. After a brief pause, she looked at Amber and Billy. “Amber, Billy, any plans?”
“Frostblade, Night Orchid, Soul Chaser, Rakshasa, Judge, all of you step back and don’t engage in battle for now!” Billy pondered for a moment before speaking in a serious tone.
“The few of us should be able to hold off one person together…” Frostblade responded.
“Don’t make reckless sacrifices!” Billy interrupted her. After that, he turned to Amber. “Amber, I leave the three Fifth-rankSaints to you. You don’t have to fight them head-on, just hold them off for a few minutes!”
“No problem!” Amber nodded.
“Harleen, Ivy, I’ll leave the two First-rank Saints to you. Do what you can, but don’t fight head-on.” Billy continued to address Harleen, Ivy, and the others.
“Understood!” they all nodded simultaneously.
“Billy Boy, are you sure you can handle those Fourth and Third-rank experts?” Amber looked worried upon hearing this. Upon hearing this, she understood Billy’s plan, and a hint of worry flashed across her face.
