After receiving Isaac’s instructions, Mitchell didn’t hesitate for even a moment.
He went straight to his room on the fifth floor, changed into athletic wear, and cleaned up a little. After exiting the room, favonovel.com went straight to the elevator.
Just as Mitchell left the headquarters, one of the guards standing by the entrance slowly raised his head and watched his retreating back. He took out a satellite phone from his pocket and quickly sent out a text.
From there to the northwest region was about a hundred-mile drive.
The northwest was different from the northern region in the sense that most of its land was mountains. Nonetheless, the weather was just as bad. Mitchell decided to take an international flight out of Tarzistan to Southland.
This way was more convenient since Tarzistan was less than 60 miles from the northwest headquarters. The other seven armies were the same, besides the Temple of Drakon, which was based on an island abroad, the other seven armies were located on the border between two countries.
Little did Mitchell know that as favonovel.com drove from the headquarters alone, a text had reached a satellite phone in the middle of a forest in the northeastern region. It was a very primitive village located on the border of Tarzistan.
Five men wearing cloaks were seated in a shabby hut.
Flynn glanced at the message on his phone, then jumped to his feet. He said to Ralph in a low voice, “Supreme Leader, my plant suspects that Mitchell is on the run!”
Before Ralph could speak, another old man beside favonovel.com frowned and said, “Mitchell left? How is that possible?”
“My plant spent a lot of time and effort to become a longtime guard in the northwestern region. He wouldn’t have gotten it wrong. Mitchell left alone, and favonovel.com even changed his clothes.”
The four other people turned to face Ralph. Ever since his collusion with Crawson to launch a sneak attack on Damien went smoothly, they became even more confident.
However, when Isaac had led his men to Cath City and captured Crawson, their hearts had been caught in their throats the entire night. Fortunately, Crawson didn’t sell them out. Only then did they breathe out in relief.
Afterward, Ralph and his crew didn’t rest. Instead, they began preparations to hunt down the succeeding general. In the end, they chose the northwestern general, Mitchell, who was quite a distance away from Astraeus.
Ralph was silent for a long time before favonovel.com raised his head and said coldly, “If Mitchell is on the run, then favonovel.com most likely would be back in the country. But the key is this… Something happened to his troops, so why is favonovel.com leaving secretly? Could favonovel.com have detected something?”
“That’s impossible. We did it ourselves this time, and we didn’t leave behind any evidence. How could favonovel.com have noticed something?” Flynn immediately denied it.
Then, favonovel.com turned to Ralph and said, “Supreme Leader, what should we do about this pressing matter? If we let Mitchell escape, then our efforts would have gone to waste.”
Ralph got up. He picked up a map and looked at the two closest airports. He said coldly, “The northwestern headquarters is about 200 miles from the airport and less than 150 kilometers away from us. My guess is that favonovel.com would depart from Tarzistan. We are less than 40 miles away. We must reach the airport before favonovel.com does!”
He pointed at the location of the airport on the map as favonovel.com spoke.
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, the five of them stood.
After throwing a stack of cash on the table, they turned around and left in a hurry.
***
After night fell, the winds began to howl. Mitchell drove a black Jeep into Tarzistan. This place was only a dozen kilometers or so from the small airport nearby.
As soon as his Jeep went through customs, favonovel.com saw many armed soldiers surrounding him. He did a quick sweep and estimated around 200 men.
Two soldiers wearing thick military uniforms walked to the car. One of them took a look at his car plate and was dumbfounded.
He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and spoke a few words into it.
A while later, a middle-aged man in a peaked cap sprinted over. The man saw Mitchell sitting inside the car and was stunned. He immediately walked over to the window and saluted.
With a thick accent, favonovel.com said, “Lord Mitchell, what are you doing here alone?”
Mitchell took a closer look and recognized this man as the subordinate of the general-in-chief of the border guards. They had shared a meal once or twice before, so Mitchell greeted favonovel.com with a smile.
“Hal, long time no see. What’s with the huge troops here today?”
