Chapter 217 To Let Pass or Not
"Boss, should we send the Bloodshadow Guard into the capital? Will Phil Santiago allow it?" BlackTortoise asked once his emotions steadied.
Phil Santiago, the Deputy Commander of the Northern Border Army, was stationed in the capitalcity. All five military-controlled airports were within his jurisdiction.
"He won't dare to deny entry. Let the Bloodshadow Guard sweep through his airport," White Tiger'svoice was gruff.
"White Tiger, can you stop causing trouble?" Black Tortoise shot a glare. "That's the capital city, notsome other place."
"He'll permit it," Billy said calmly. "Go ahead, inform them. We depart tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir!" Vermilion Bird and the others nodded in unison.
The next morning at 6 a. m., Billy and the group arrived at the airport. The Bloodshadow Guardlined up, clad uniformly in combat attire, each wearing a dark-red-hilted bloodshadow warblade.
"Commander!" The hundred Bloodshadow Guard soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted in unison,their voices resounding like thunder.
"Rise and speak," Billy motioned with his hand.
"Yes, Commander!" The hundred soldiers shouted again in unison, then stood at attention likeblades.
"Bloodshadow Guard is fully assembled. Requesting your instructions!" The leader, Ken Rose,reported loudly.
"Upon arrival in the capital, follow Vice Commander Kimmons' orders. No independent actions areallowed, or else military law will be enforced," Billy instructed.
"We shall follow your orders, Commander Gardner!" Ken Rose saluted.
"Go ahead!" Billy waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!" Ken Rose saluted again before turning and shouting, "Depart!"
At 8 a. m., on the eastern side of the capital city, at a military-controlled airport, a small meeting wasunderway. Several men in military attire were discussing matters.
Seated at the head of the table was a man in his forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and asturdy aura. This man was none other than Phil Santiago, the Deputy Commander of the NorthernBorder Army.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Soon, urgent knocking came from the door.
"Come in!" Phil Santiago's brow furrowed slightly.
According to his routine, he had explicitly instructed that he not be disturbed unless somethingexceptional arose.
"Report!" a young man in military attire entered swiftly and saluted.
"Speak!" Phil Santiago's voice was deep.
"A hundred Western Warriors have arrived at our airport. Should we permit their passage? Seekinginstructions, Deputy Commander!" the young man spoke loudly.
Upon hearing this news, he was taken aback as well. Why would a hundred Western Warriors arrivein the capital without any apparent reason? Phil didn't think they were here for a sightseeing tour!
Phil Santiago choked on his tea. After recovering slightly, he continued, "Are you sure they areWestern Warriors?"
"I'm a hundred percent certain!" The man nodded firmly. "Moreover, if my guess is right, thesehundred individuals belong to the Western Bloodshadow Guard!"
The attendees exchanged glances, their faces showing equal astonishment. A hundred regularWestern Warriors wouldn't have been much of a surprise, but they were Western BloodshadowGuard. They were infamous for their relentless, border-patrolling nature. How could they possiblycome to the capital?
Clang!
Phil Santiago's teacup hit the conference table. His gaze locked onto the young man, and he askedagain, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely certain, Deputy Commander!" the man affirmed earnestly.
Phil Santiago exhaled a heavy breath, his expression unprecedentedly serious. He promptly pulledout his phone and dialed his superior's number.
"Phil Santiago, what's the matter?" came a steady voice on the other end.
"Commander, I have an important matter to report!" Phil Santiago steadied his emotions.
"Go ahead."novelbin
"A hundred Western Bloodshadow Guard have arrived in the capital. I'm seeking guidance onwhether to permit their passage." Phil Santiago explained.
"The Western Army guards the borders year-round. Finally, they get some free time and decide tovisit the capital, to see the prosperity of this land they protect. Why are you so nervous?" the voiceon the other end responded.
"But..." Phil Santiago's mouth twitched.
"Enough with the 'buts'. Let them pass immediately and don't freeze the hearts of our Westerncomrades!" the voice interrupted.
"Yes, Commander!" Phil Santiago replied in a loud voice. After hanging up, he quickly rose andsaid, "Everyone, follow me to welcome our Western colleagues."
For him, while he knew that the arrival of the Army of Bloodshadow wasn't a small matter, since hissuperior had spoken, he had no concerns. Moreover, images of the King of the West surfaced in hismind; his soldiers wouldn't cause trouble in the capital.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the group stepped out of the conference room, another young man hurriedly approached.
"Report!" the man saluted Phil Santiago as he reached him.
"Speak!" Phil Santiago's voice was grave.
"Western Vice Commander Casey Kimmons and First Legion Commander Azure Dragon seek anaudience outside." The man reported loudly.
"Ah!?" Phil Santiago felt like his heart couldn't take it anymore. "They're both in the capital?"
"Yes, I heard they've just come from General Wilson's place!" the man replied once more.
Sucking in a breath, Phil Santiago's heart raced. Western Deputy Commander and the First LegionCommander in the capital, and now a hundred Western Bloodshadow Guard. What was going on?
After a brief daze, he hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's meet Vice Commander Kimmons first."
The others exchanged glances, their eyes showing equal shock.
Meanwhile, in various departments throughout the capital, a flurry of activity ensued as this newsspread. The Capital Defense Bureau and the Imperial Guard Bureau had the most pronouncedreactions. Ebenezer Rowe, the head of the Capital Defense Bureau, almost dropped his phonewhen he heard the news. After hanging up, he prepared to go to Phil Santiago's airport, but beforehe could even leave, he received a call.
Upon hanging up, his expression turned complex, and he inwardly sighed with relief.
Similar situations unfolded among the heads of other related departments, each receiving the samemessage. They were to remain at their posts, regardless of what happened elsewhere. Afterhanging up, they all felt astonishment and relief.
In the heart of the capital, Donald and the plain-clothed old man sat face to face on a couch, theirexpressions grim.
"Are you sure this news is true?" the old man asked Donald.
"What do you think?"
"The Leonard Clan is truly courting death!" the old man slammed his tea cup onto the coffee table."They dare to collude with external enemies to assassinate a high-ranking officer in the military.They're clearly asking for trouble!"
"Last time, I gave them a chance. They chose this path themselves. no one else is to blame."Donald's voice was cold. "This time, I hope you won't intervene either."
"Very well!" the old man replied. "Heaven forgives sins, but humans don't. They've brought this uponthemselves, let them face the consequences."
