Over two hours later, Billy and his group returned to the base near the southern border.
"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.
