Azure Dragon stood nearby, his face similarly pale, and he wore a grave expression. He understood what this situation meant. Today, he and the others might not make it out alive. What concerned him most was Billy. Glavale was still waiting for Billy to usher in a thousand years of prosperity.
Thinking about this, he shook his head slightly, his temples throbbing. Then, he looked at Billy and said, "Boss, you should go. Don't worry about us."
"All three of you focus on protecting General Wilson." Billy ordered.
"Understood." Casey and Stout both responded.
Military orders were absolute, with no room for debate. Since Billy had given the order, their duty was to carry it out.
"King of the West, I'll give you a chance." George continued. "As long as you kill yourself, we can consider releasing General Wilson."
Although George was confident of his victory, if he could avoid combat and kill Billy, it would be even better.
"Commander Gardner, don't listen to his nonsense. People from Northfortia can't be trusted!" Cole Wilson shouted loudly.
"Rukchi, let's make the exchange." Billy said, kicking Anvik, who was lying on the ground, before looking at Rukchi and speaking calmly.
"Lord Rukchi, don't make a trade with him. At least make him disable his cultivation first before any exchange!" a man from Xidengia suggested.
"Yes! No exchange!" others from different nations chimed in, each one raising their voices higher than the last.
After all, it wasn't their own countrymen who were captured. Even if Anvik was killed, it had nothing to do with them. Keeping Glavale's General Wilson on their side would give them an extra ace in case they needed it.
"General, save me!" Anvik managed to speak, though it was a struggle.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. They won't dare to kill you," Rukchi responded, taking a deep breath.
"Are you saying you don't want to make the exchange?" Billy squinted at Rukchi. After a brief pause, he turned to Casey and said, "Make a video call to General Harper."
"Yes," Casey nodded and dialed James Harper's number. Soon, James Harper's image appeared on the holographic display.
"Commander Gardner, how are you doing? What about General Wilson..." James began asking, but Billy cut him off.
"General Harper, execute ten Aquilandian captives." Billy ordered directly.
"Yes, Commander!" James Harper replied, a bit startled but following his orders.
As the images of ten Aquilandian captives appeared on the holographic display, Rukchi cried out, "How dare you?!"
"Now!" Billy ordered.
As he completed the sentence, the projection displayed the images of ten heads rising into the air, with ten blood geysers shooting skyward.
"Damn it, you're all damned!" Rukchi roared, his face turning ashen with anger.
"Are you exchanging or not?" Billy glanced at him and spoke in a calm tone.
"Don't!" Several bystanders, who enjoyed the spectacle, shouted again.
Rukchi gave them a cold look, then turned to Billy and said in a deep voice, "You will regret this."
