Chapter 540 News of the Fifth Jade Pendant

The battle of the others lasted less than two minutes in total. All one hundred of Andra's personal guards were slain, not a single one survived.

Rukchi trembled at the sight, his face turning pale. Andra was a younger peer of the king. How could he be killed like this? The king would never let it go without retaliation.

But Caruno's face showed no surprise or shock. It seemed as though he had already anticipated this outcome or even welcomed it.

"Your king sent him here to use my sword to eliminate his enemies, didn't he?" Billy looked at Caruno and spoke calmly.

As a cunning man, how could Billy not understand?

Aquilandia wanted peace talks. If they had no ulterior motives, why would they send someone like Andra?

"Hmm?" Rukchi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise upon hearing Billy's words. He also understood what was going on now.

"King of the West, I apologize on our king's behalf. It is Aquilandia's fault this time, my apologies." Caruno didn't answer Billy's question.

Earlier while they were discussing in the hall, Caruno didn't understand why their sovereign sent him and Andra here. He later realized what was happening-- Andra had always been acting recklessly by using his identity as a younger peer of the king's mentor to challenge Your Majesty's authority publicly.

Though everything looked fine on the surface, Fecocci had been looking for a good opportunity to eliminate him. And it happened to be a good chance for Fecocci to use Billy's blade to fulfill his dream by killing Andra.

"Then what?" Billy asked.

"What the king means is that Aquilandia is willing to pay 100 billion as compensation, hoping to turn the feud with you into friendship!" Caruno continued.

"Sorry, Glavale is not short of money!" Billy responded. "If you just bring this news, then go back and report to him and prepare for a national war!"

"Then what are the requirements?" Caruno asked after taking a deep breath.

"It's very simple. If you don't want to start a war, then cede the territory!" Billy said in a calm voice, "Glavale border advances thousands of miles to Aquilandia. This matter can be solved."

Caruno said before continuing with an apology from Aquilandia for their mistake and offering 100 billion as compensation for their actions. "We hope that we can make peace."

"I'm sorry but Glavale doesn't need money," Billy responded coldly before adding that if Aquilandia didn't want war then they should cede territory instead: "Glavale will push its borders one thousand miles into Aquilandia."

Everyone from Aquilandia gasped in shock at such a demand. If they agreed to this then Aquilandia would lose all respect in international society.

Including Casey, the three of them were secretly amazed.

"King of the West, isn't this request a bit too much? We can't possibly..." Caruno exhaled a large breath.

"I'm not forcing you to accept it!" Billy interrupted him. "This is my only condition. If you don't agree, then let's go to war!" After speaking, he turned and looked at Azure Dragon and said: "Notify General Wilson that the Army of Bloodshadow can start the war as soon as they arrive in the North!"

"Understood!" Azure Dragon then took out his phone.

"Casey, get started! Cut down all remaining enemies." Billy said as he turned towards Casey.

"Yes, Commander Gardner." Casey nodded in response and flipped his wrist before holding her battle sword.

Stout also followed closely behind Casey and took two steps forward while his momentum rose simultaneously.

"Hold on!" Caruno quickly shouted out loud. Then after taking another deep breath, he looked at Billy again, "May I have a word?"

"To express our apologies from Aquilandia, besides offering compensation worth billions, we have one message from our king for you."

"What do you want to say? You can say it here." Billy glanced at him briefly.

"This matter is very important, out sovereign has specially instructed that only King of the West should be informed about this message.". Caruno responded, "Please believe me, this message will definitely interest you."

"All right," after thinking for a moment or two Billy lifted his foot up and walked aside with Caruno following closely behind him.

Soon they arrived 100 meters away where Caruno conveyed Fecocci's message to Billy.

"Do you really mean what you're

saying?" After listening carefully to what was being said by Caruno, Billy's eyes brightened up slightly but then added, "You should know what happens if anyone tries deceiving me." śFindNovel.net

"Your Majesty speaks no lies! Your Majesty personally conveyed this messag, if it turns out false,

Aquilandia will cede land worth

thousands miles as compensation!" replied Caruno solemnly.

"All right! Remember your words." Billy narrowed his eyes slightly before adding, "Also tell your sovereign that I accept their invitation."

"Aquilandia and Glavale shouldn't be enemies. Some historical issues can be resolved through open and honest negotiations."

Aquilandia's intention to make amends was clear. As for the truth behind it, that was another topic altogether.

"Next time," Billy responded before turning to Casey and the others. "Let's head back."

"Yes, Commander!" The three of them followed closely behind after a brief moment of hesitation.

"Within half an hour, a compensation of one hundred billion must be deposited into Glavale's account!" Billy added loudly as he walked towards the door. "Otherwise, we'll go to war!" With those words spoken, he was already outside the base within seconds.

Five minutes later, Billy and his group drove towards Glavale's Northern Territory.

"What message did Aquilandia's ruler bring you, boss?" Stout asked while driving.

Casey and Azure Dragon also looked at Billy curiously. They wondered what kind of news could make their ruler forget about Aquilandia's vast territory.

"The fifth piece of Jade Pendant is in Sanctum of Darkness." Billy said calmly as he gazed ahead.

This was the message that Aquilandia's ruler had entrusted him with.

"What?!" Casey exclaimed along with Azure Dragon in shock. Their faces were filled with disbelief at this valuable information, which did surpass even Aquilania's vast territories. This could very well be key to unlocking Glavale's thousand-year prosperity.

"Is this information reliable?" Casey asked hesitantly after taking a moment to process everything that had been said so far.

"I'm not entirely sure," replied Billy shaking his head slightly before adding, "But we have no leads on where else it might be located so we have no choice but to believe it."

"I understand." Casey nodded firmly in agreement.

"When are we going to Place of Darkness?" Azure Dragon asked.

"Not yet," replied Billy thoughtfully. "Sanctum Of Darkness isn't something you can just walk into without proper preparation, your current strength won't suffice."

"In the meantime, your priority should be improving your cultivation level as quickly as possible or else there will be too much risk involved when going there!"

Billy had already learned from George about Sanctum Of Darkness' power; it wasn't something they could handle easily.

"Got it!" Casey and the other two nodded vigorously.

"As for the news about the fifth jade pendant, keep it within us for now." Billy continued to instruct.

"Understood!" The three nodded again.
