"You'll find out soon enough!" Billy smiled faintly. Then, he turned to Bob Stokes and said, "Arrange an aircraft, we're going to Ozin together."
"Understood!" Bob Stokes nodded vigorously.
Meanwhile, at the Ozin SHADOW base, Judge and Casey were seated in the conference hall.
"Casey, do you think the small fries from Northfortia will really dare to come?" Judge asked Casey.
"Most likely!" Casey nodded slightly. "They lured our boss to the capital, which clearly indicates they're planning to come to Ozin to rescue their people."
"I'm quite curious about what kind of people they'll send. Could they be sending War God-Emperor experts directly?" Judge said, pondering.
"You've got quite a pessimistic mind. Don't jinx it, or else if your unfortunate prediction comes true..." Casey's words stopped abruptly, and his face turned serious.
"Casey, what's wrong?" Judge asked.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right!" Casey said as he stood up.
"What do you mean?" Judge continued to inquire.
"There's a War God-Emperor heading towards our base!" Casey replied after taking a deep breath.
Judge coughed. "This joke isn't funny at all..."
However, just like Casey, he stopped speaking midway and his expression turned grave. "Damn, it's true!"
During their conversation, the group from Northfortia had steadily entered the courtyard. At the forefront was a man in his forties from the West, exuding a strong martial aura, clearly from the frontlines of the War Department. Following closely behind him were three elders, with the white-haired one being the War God-Emperor expert that Casey and Judge had sensed. The other two elders had considerable skills as well, one at the late stage of War Emperor and the other at the peak of War Emperor. Apart from these three, the rest of the group consisted of War Grandmasters and below.
"Casey, do you have confidence?" Judge turned to Casey.
"What do you think?" Casey replied with a hint of sarcasm.
Come on, if it were just those two War Emperor-level elders, maybe there would be a chance for a fight. But now, they've added a War God-Emperor into the mix. And not just any War God-Emperor, but a genuine one with a fully awakened power. What kind of confidence could he possibly have?
"Casey, boss said that today we'd have a guest from afar. When will they arrive? If they don't show up soon, there won't be anyone left to receive them!" Judge said with a serious expression.
"I don't know." Casey shook his head.
"What kind of guest do you think boss invited?" Judge continued to ask.
"I have no idea." Casey shook his head again.
Billy had only told them that an old friend would visit Ozin today and emphasized that they should treat the guest well. He hadn't mentioned who the guest was or when they would arrive, and they hadn't asked either.
"Do you know why we're here?" By this time, the Northfortia group had approached to within a hundred meters of them, and the leading man spoke indifferently. "Hand over the people, and I'll spare your lives."
"Are you the woman's paramour?" Judge looked at the man and continued, "What's your name again? Chris? You must be the one who sent people to assassinate me and my boss. I'll give you a chance, kill yourself and apologize, and I'll leave your corpse intact." Judge taunted.
