Dustin smiled and replied, “Austin, it seems like you’ve learned a lot in the army these

past few years.

“You’re right. We can’t barge into the base so recklessly. At least, we need to find out

what’s inside.

“The castle’s spies can’t continue any further. There are way too many capable people in

Dragon Guard. Thus, I decided to go investigate by myself.”

Austin was a bit worried. “Isn’t this too dangerous? You need to remember that you’re the

future king of West Lucozia.

“Let me go instead. I’m also a grandmaster martial artist. I can get away in time even if I

encounter a dangerous situation.”

Dustin rejected, “No way! Although you’re capable, you can’t confront those top martial

artists in Dragon Guard on your own. If Reagan finds you, you won’t even have the chance

to run away.”

“But-” Just as Austin was about to say something else, he was cut off by Dustin raising his

hand.

“No ‘buts.’ I’m the one in command for this mission. Thus, I order you to stay here and

wait for my update.”

After saying that, Dustin was out the door with the top-grade spy. Although Austin was

worried, there was nothing he could do.

Austin knew that Dustin was the only one who could sneak inside the Dragon Guard’s

base. Thus, he could only hope that Dustin could proceed smoothly.

Under the spy’s lead, Dustin moved swiftly. After traversing mountains and hills, they

quickly reached the Dragon Guard’s base.

Just as Austin said, there was a huge wall at the front of the base. The wall stood in front

of the valley like an insurmountable barrier.

After taking a closer look, Dustin found that there were many Dragon Guard spies lurking

around. If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would have been noticed before even

nearing the wall.

“Hide yourself, and don’t get yourself caught. I’ll go in by myself,” Dustin whispered to the

spy. With a light step, he transformed into an indiscernible black shadow and jumped onto

treetops.

The surrounding tall trees provided a good spot for Dustin to hide and obstruct one’s line

of sight.

Although Dragon Guard had placed many spies around the area, Dustin could effortlessly

evade their surveillance with his cultivation level.

Dustin’s figure moved silently in the silent night. He glided over the tops of the trees like a

ghost. He was so fast that it was almost like he was imperceptible.

Others might find it difficult to spot him during the day, not to mention at night. At that

moment, a Dragon Guard spy dressed in night attire was about 650 feet away from the

wall. He was silently sitting on a rock, observing his surroundings.

The spy seamlessly blended with his surroundings. If he didn’t move, they might not even

notice him even if they looked closely.

At that moment, the spy felt a cold wind brushing past his head. When the spy looked up

to see, he didn’t manage to find anything. The sky was quiet, without even a single bird

flying across.

“Number three, did you find anything unusual?” the spy whispered while placing his finger

near the earpiece.

There was another spy situated about 300 feet away. They were in a pincer formation.

That way, they could provide mutual support and observe their surroundings without

having any blind spots.

“It’s calm and peaceful here. No anomalies detected.” An answer sounded from the

earpiece.

“I might be overthinking. Never mind. Let’s stay focused.” The spy didn’t say anything

more. He started to scan his surroundings again, not wanting to miss any movement.

Unbeknownst to him, Dustin had already flown across his head. After avoiding all the

spies, he climbed along the wall and crossed over it. Then, he entered Dragon Guard’s

secret base.

When Dustin saw the scale of the base, he couldn’t help but feel shocked. He didn’t

expect to find such a large military facility in such a desolate place, not to mention it was

equipped with comprehensive facilities.

There were tanks, airplanes, cannons, and various types of heavy and light weapons.

Moreover, there were at least 50 thousand troops in the base based on the size of its

buildings.

With such an abundance of heavy weaponry and elite soldiers, the base could be

described as impregnable!

If Dustin had attacked hastily, the West Lucozian monarchy would have suffered heavy

losses.

“Thankfully, I came to see it for myself. Otherwise, we would be facing significant losses.”

Dustin furrowed his

eyebrows.

Nobody would have expected such a powerful force to be hidden in a remote place. It was

no wonder Dragon Guard dared to assassinate Rufus so brazenly. They had solid backing,

after all.

With such a powerful fortress, they were fearless of their enemies. Most importantly, the

place was strategically defensible and easily guarded.

If something happened, Reagan could escape overseas to avoid any trouble.

“With how tight the defense is here, we need at least 100 thousand soldiers from Black

Dragon Army to win.

“The problem is that Dragon Guard will definitely get wind of us mobilizing so many

soldiers. All of our efforts will be in vain if we let the cat out of the bag. What should we

do?”

Dustin furrowed his eyebrows as he fell deep in thought.

It was too difficult to just attack without a strategy. Plus, it would incur significant costs.

If they wanted to defeat Dragon Guard with minimum cost and the quickest way possible,

there was only one way – eliminating the head!

Dustin would need to kill Reagan, the head of Dragon Guard. This way, Dragon Guard

would be left without a leader.

After that, Dustin would capture all of them.

However, there was a significant drawback to that plan. Dustin must have a capable

assassination team, and each member must be a grandmaster martial artist.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to implement this plan. Naturally, the most important point

was to get rid of Reagan.

As the fifth most formidable martial artist in Astonishing World List, Reagan’s skills were

unquestionable. If Dustin failed to kill Reagan first, his plan would definitely fail.

In the end, it all depended on Julius if he could successfully poison Reagan.

“Right. Julius!” Dustin raised an eyebrow. Immediately, he started searching inside the

base. The signal on Julius had been disconnected. Thus, there was a high chance he was

hidden in the base.

Dustin needed to check if Julius would do as planned.

In other words, he wanted to see if Julius would betray the West Lucozia monarchy.

In the pitch-black night, Dustin’s figure moved erratically like a phantom.

Wherever Dustin went, nobody noticed him. Just like that, he successfully avoided patrol

teams and all prying eyes.

“Who’s there?” Just as he passed by an armory, a soldier seemed to sense him. Suddenly,

the soldier became alert and drew the blade at his waist.
