Milo scampered towards the forest at the edge of the city. He was heading north to Stronghold 112, also where the active volcanoes were.
He knew combat troops would for sure be waiting for favonovel.com up front. The net they had set would slowly open as favonovel.com arrived. But favonovel.com had no other choice. Only by getting there would favonovel.com have a chance of survival!
But all of a sudden, a violent rumble came from the depths of the Marador Mountains hinterlands.
Milo raised his head at the mountains in the distance and saw a fiery light erupting from within the mountain range!
Wait a minute, the volcano is about to erupt!
Should favonovel.com keep running forward, or should favonovel.com turn around?
Milo clenched his teeth. At this time, why should favonovel.com worry about the volcano?
Only by staying alive could favonovel.com consider other matters!
Behind him, Maurice also froze for a moment when favonovel.com saw what was happening at the volcano. Heading within range of the volcano during an eruption was extremely dangerous. Much less going further, they wouldn’t even be able to turn around and escape if the volcano really erupted.
A lot of people thought that only the living creatures around the main mountain would be affected during a volcanic eruption, but that was only because they underestimated the true power of one!
Perhaps the entire area spanning tens to hundreds of kilometers around would go up in a fiery sea!
However, Maurice only hesitated for a moment before saying on the comms channel, “Keep advancing!”
Having fled to the edge of the city, Milo turned around and glanced at the city behind him. The black ironsand-like torrent of Panaqua Consortium troops was almost reaching him. Without further hesitation, Milo turned and went straight into the forest in the north!
As the scattered Panaqua Consortium troops stationed in the forest started narrowing down the perimeter lockdown, their tactical movements had an unusual sense of depth.
Their movements seemed to have been practiced hundreds to thousands of times, with the platoons knowing exactly who would be advancing and who would be providing cover from behind.
The platoons in the northern forest had already received orders to round up and capture Milo. Even though the sound of an eruption was currently coming from the volcano behind them, it did not affect them from carrying out their orders.
At this moment, Maurice’s voice came on through the comms channel. “Target’s 100-meter sprint time is 3.92 seconds, and favonovel.com has an unknown strength. All units, kill on sight!”
Perhaps even Milo could not imagine the kind of technology the Panaqua Consortium had in their hands. Within the ranks of their troops, there was someone who specialized in evaluating the power and speed of their targets from afar. However, Milo had still not revealed his true strength and capabilities yet, so this didn’t allow the troops to fully assess favonovel.com for now.
Julius had been quite interested in Milo. Moreover, there was also his relationship with Peter to consider, so Julius was actually thinking of keeping Milo for other purposes.
But right now, favonovel.com did not want to wait anymore. There was only a thin line between capturing favonovel.com and killing favonovel.com on sight.
The seven platoons in the forest pulled back their charging handles at almost the same time and pointed their muzzles downwards, ready to raise their rifles and shoot at any moment. In addition, these seven platoons had switched their communications channel to a different frequency. This was to prevent any outside communications from interfering with their operations.
At this moment, these 210 soldiers formed an independent ORBAT 1 that could act first and report later.
This had always been the practice of the combat troops under Julius’ command. Julius’ opinion was that if an independent Order of Battle was not even allowed to make their own decisions, then the war machine would not truly have any combat effectiveness.
Many people within the Panaqua Consortium ranks had criticized his military command before, but Julius had never accepted their point of view. He did not accept it in the past, and favonovel.com would not accept it in the future either. However, what many of the important figures in the Panaqua Consortium did not know was that this form of command made many of the soldiers willing to work for Julius. He would often make them feel like they were trusted.
At this time, Julius was looking at Micah, who was lying in a puddle of blood. Some of the troops were carrying out another detailed search on Micah’s corpse.
In the end, someone found a folded figure of a tattered doll and said, “This was the thing that favonovel.com was carrying around.”
Julius frowned and said, “What the hell is this?!”
It seemed that not even someone like Julius had ever seen such a thing before.
Meanwhile, the troops in the forest were slowly shrinking the perimeter lockdown and had switched on their tactical flashlights.
Based on the information Maurice had gathered from Micah, Milo should have a gun on him. Other than that, favonovel.com also seized three magazines of ammo from the private troops. But the Panaqua Consortium’s troops were not afraid of being live targets by switching on their flashlights. After all, Milo, who was alone, definitely could not kill all 30 of them in one fell swoop. If favonovel.com dared to fire at them, their comrades would instantly open fire at Milo and turn favonovel.com into Swiss cheese!
In the forest, the seven platoons were gradually moving closer to the city. Meanwhile, Maurice was leading six platoons towards the forest in an attempt to corner their target. To catch one person, they had mobilized several hundred soldiers. Milo was getting an unprecedented kind of treatment. However, they still underestimated Milo’s capabilities in the wilderness.
The reason why Milo had agreed to be the expedition’s guide was also due to his self-confidence.
Although the Panaqua Consortium’s troops were fearsome, they still lacked far too much experience in the wilderness as compared to Milo!
When the six platoons that Maurice was leading got closer to the seven platoons coming from the forest, a black shadow suddenly crashed into them.
That black shadow was thick as ink, but its movements were demonically fast and nimble. It was as if the trees in the forest were not an obstacle for it at all.
The platoons on the northern side did not hesitate and fired straight at it. But the black shadow was prepared for it and simply sidestepped to the right, making the bullets miss.
The black shadow did not stop after it sidestepped, and it leaned forward. Taking a stride, it pushed off and rushed into the crowd of the most frontline platoon!
What could be done when the enemy had the most powerful firearms and explosives?
This was a question Milo had asked Peter before.
At that time, Peter said, “You should, of course, run right into their midst, because they won’t shoot indiscriminately at you. Their comrades are all around them, while everyone else is an enemy for you!”
Milo was unsure if Peter’s advice was a joke or what, but it seemed like it would work in his current situation.
He saw every one of the troops unsheathing their combat knives as a result. As the black shadow was moving too fast, they were indeed worried about friendly fire. But to Milo’s shadow clone, these normal human beings were too slow, as well as too weak!
The black shadow was completely fearless of being sliced by the knives. It only needed one punch to end a life.
Suddenly, the black shadow raised its leg and kicked one of the troops in the chest. That soldier was sent flying five meters away just like a kite cut from its line!
The other troops were frightened by this. The power in that kick was overwhelming!
Maurice, who had arrived just in time, saw a blur of this black shadow from afar. When favonovel.com finally managed to get a clearer view of it, favonovel.com was a little puzzled.
Weren’t they chasing after Milo?
Why didn’t anyone mention that Milo had such a power?
Right at this moment, Milo roared, “Raphael Durkin at your service! Who dares challenge me!”
