"Understood!" Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.
Donald's words clearly carried a hidden meaning. In fact, Billy had already harbored suspicions during his previous visit to Place of Darkness. Glavale's strength in Place of Darkness was not particularly strong, so why were they dispersing their forces instead of consolidating them for a unified front?
He eventually understood the reason. Although they were all part of Glavale, each faction represented different interest groups. Without a doubt, two or three of these factions had backing from major family clans, effectively becoming their private armies. They were not willing to be under the unified command of the War Department.
"Furthermore, when you go over there, try to assess the situation with Sanctum of Darkness," Donald continued. "Recently, some western countries have been showing signs of restlessness. They might not dare to initiate a full-scale war, but there's a high chance they'll use Sanctum of Darkness as a tool."
"Understood!" Billy nodded in response.
In the present day, although it was the era of advanced weaponry, no country would easily initiate a full-scale war, especially one involving devastating weapons. Such a conflict would lead to mutually assured destruction, and any country that broke this rule would bear the consequences. Therefore, wars between nations were primarily conducted through martial arts and battles rather than massive warfare.
"Honey, is something happening?" After Billy hung up the phone, Harleen asked. Fletcher and his wife also turned their attention to him.
"Yes, there's an issue in the camp," Billy replied. "Dad, Mom, and my dear, I might have to go on a business trip for a few days."
"In that case, please take care of yourself." Sharon said.
"Darling, make sure to call me and don't make me worry." Harleen added.
"Sure thing!" Billy nodded before getting up and heading to the door. Five minutes later, Stout started the car and asked, "Boss, where are we going?"
"War Department in Ozin!" Billy replied before taking out his phone and dialing Casey's number.
During the call, he briefly explained the situation and asked Casey to come to Ozin immediately. He also instructed Casey to inform Azure Dragon and the others to head directly to Place of Darkness.
"Boss, Sanctum of Darkness is outrageous this time. We should consider raiding their headquarters when we arrive!" Stout commented after hearing Billy's phone conversation.
"Sanctum of Darkness isn't that simple. We should assess the situation when we get there." Billy replied.
An hour later, Casey appeared at the headquarters of War Department. Soon after, the three of them boarded a fighter jet and headed towards their destination.
Meanwhile, back in Place of Darkness, in a valley about a hundred kilometers from Rakshasa Hall's headquarters, thousands of Rakshasa Hall members had gathered. Following Billy's instructions, White Tiger had moved the members out of their main base.
"White Tiger, I've just received news that Sanctum of Darkness's first wave has already reached one of Glavale's factions' main bases, and they've engaged in a battle." Rakshasa said to White Tiger. "If everything goes as expected, I'm afraid they won't last for more than an hour."
"What?!" White Tiger furrowed his brow. "Which faction is it?"
"It's under the command of Orson Harding." Rakshasa replied.
