The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 443 Condemning the King of the West

Over two hours later, Billy and his group returned to the base near the southern border.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Now, Nanrania should be quiet for a few years." Black Tortoise said as they gathered in the hall.

"Even the neighboring countries will probably think twice before being too audacious." He continued.

"In my opinion, we should have taken the opportunity to eliminate Nanrania's king as well. It would have had a greater deterrent effect." Stout commented with a shrug.

"Stout, are you enjoying stirring up trouble everywhere?" Casey chuckled.

"If we had killed their king, it would have changed the nature of this incident. We might have faced international backlash." Casey added. "And if Nanrania were to get a new king, he would likely use this incident to consolidate his position, and who knows what trouble he might cause."

"I'd rather have their king remain wary of us, as it might keep them in check for some time." Billy concluded.

"I was just speaking my mind." Stout grinned.

"Azure Dragon, keep a close eye on our informants in Nanrania for any developments, especially regarding their interactions with the western powers." Billy instructed Azure Dragon.

"Understood!" Azure Dragon replied loudly.

"Boss, are you concerned that Northfortia might take action?" Casey asked.

"Those ten people from Northfortia who were killed held some influence in their own country." Billy nodded slightly.

Half-Step War God-Emperors held a respectable position in any country.

"I see!" Casey and the others nodded simultaneously.

"Vermilion Bird, your Bloodguard troops will stay in the southern region for three months before returning, and they will patrol the border alongside the eighth and ninth groups for another three months." Billy continued with his instructions.

"Understood!" Vermilion Bird replied loudly.

"Let's go and see our injured comrades together." Billy said as he headed towards the door, followed closely by Casey and the others.

Although the Bloodshadow guards could take on ten opponents each, such large-scale battles inevitably resulted in injuries.

The next morning, in the heart of the capital city of Glavale, a spacious and well-lit hall was filled with dozens of people. Anyone familiar with Glavale's top officials would recognize at least sixty to seventy percent of them. Many of them occasionally appeared in the news.

These people had gathered for one reason: the large-scale conflict between Glavale's Southern Border Army and Nanrania.

"It's quite lively here!" A young man's voice suddenly echoed at the door, and Bob Stokes stepped inside.

"Mr Stokes!" Many people at the entrance nodded and greeted him.

"Mr Stokes!" Stan Mitchell and Harlan Holmes approached him together.

During this period, due to the incident involving the Greenwood clan, the three of them had worked together, and their relationship had grown closer.

"Mitchell, Holmes." Bob responded with a smile. His impression of the two individuals was relatively favorable.

"Mr Stokes, this situation is a bit troublesome. I'm worried about Commander Gardner..." Harlan Holmes began to speak.

He had just received the news

yesterday afternoon and was almost

biting his tongue when he heard it. Harlan had served as the commander of the southern region for nearly three years. Although there had been occasional minor conflicts with neighboring countries during his tenure, they were usually localized skirmishes. If he

remembered correctly, the largest な

conflict, had involved deploying ten

thousand troops. But this time King of the West had ordered the Army of Bloodshadow, numbering two hundred thousand, to participate directly, pushing back Nanrania's military strength by twenty years. He admired Commander Gardner's boldness, but he couldn't help but worry about him. He had heard that the troops had been sent without even informing the capital, launching a war involving hundreds of thousands of troops. If they were to follow Glavale's strict rules, this would be considered an unauthorized military action, a serious crime. Furthermore, there were rumors that King of the West had launched such a massive war simply because his wife had suffered some slight grievances in front of Nanrania's people. Of course, in Harlan Holmes's opinion, this was just idle gossip. If Billy were such a person, how could he be worthy of the admiration of millions? How could he deserve the title of the nation's unicorn?

"When did you become so overly cautious?" Bob Stokes interrupted him with a smile. "This doesn't seem like you character."

"Stokes, this matter is quite significant, and we shouldn't take it lightly." Stan Mitchell added with a serious expression.

Stan had grown up in the bureaucracy and knew very well the methods of some people in the capital. If they wanted to target someone, even trivial matters could be greatly magnified, not to mention such a major event.

"Relax, gentlemen!" Bob Stokes replied lightly.

"Mr Stokes, I'm really glad you're here. May I ask what Central Sky Office thinks about this matter?" a middle-aged man interrupted them while staring at Bob.

"Sorry, sir, I haven't been here long enough to answer that conclusively. May I ask who you are?" Bob glanced at him and asked.

"Ha!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly. "I'm Andy Cooke from Buddha Hall!"

He knew that Bob Stokes was

deliberately provoking him since Bob held such an important position in Central Sky Office. Not only Bob Stokes, but anyone present should recognize him. All the key officials in the capital's government offices above the deputy level had their files in Central Sky Office. Memorizing these people was part of his first-day training when he took office. Not just the names, but also their backgrounds and affiliations were probably etched in his mind.

"So, you're Deputy Lord of Buddha Hall! Nice to meet you." Bob Stokes replied casually. "I wonder what kind of attitude you want Central Sky Office to have?"

"Do I need to say?" Andy continued.

"King of the West, for his own selfish interests, abused his power and sent troops to Nanrania without the capital's permission! We had a conflict with the enemy involving hundreds of thousands of troops, resulting in the deaths and injuries of thousands of our Glavale soldiers. He's entirely responsible for this!"

As he spoke, many others in the vicinity chimed in.

"Exactly, King of the West has no regard for the laws of the land. He unilaterally decided on such a large-scale war!"

"Right, he has practically treated the Army of Bloodshadow as his personal militia!"

"To prevent such incidents in the future, I suggest adding a new agenda item to this meeting to discuss the ownership of the Army of Bloodshadow!"

The crowd began to discuss animatedly, their expressions showing genuine concern.
