Sure enough, it was the General of the North.
Bachok, Lenard, and the rest of their subordinates trembled before Nathan.
Besides feeling aghast, Bachok felt fortunate.
In addition to the hundred elites he brought here, he had also dispatched five thousand Mountain Troop warriors disguised as mercenaries to sneak into the nearby ocean territory of the South. They were prepared to back him up at any time.
If he were able to notify the secret army, they would be able to back him up fairly quickly.
The helicopter should be able to arrive in half an hour fastest to assist them.
They might even be able to kill Nathan Cross, turning the incident into one for the books.
With that in mind, Bachok wanted to use a special communication device to secretly notify his reinforcements.
But just as he thought of this idea, his phone began to ring.
He froze dead in his tracks.
Nathan smiled and said, "Answer the phone. It should be your army that had secretly sneaked into the waters of the South trying to reach you."
What?
Bachok was astounded as he stared at Nathan. He already knew about the secret army!
After contemplating for some time, Bachok answered the phone hesitantly.
The person calling was, in fact, the commander of the secret army, Davy.
Davy's voice quivered as he spoke, "Sir, our whereabouts have been exposed and we're being attacked by both the North Army's Dragonfury special forces and the Eighteen Riders of the North. We've sustained heavy casualties. About a thousand men and I have become their prisoners. They asked me to call you..."
Bachok's phone fell to the ground with a thud. His hand was twitching.
He raised his head to face Nathan with a look of desperation.
His entire secret army had also been annihilated. He was a sitting duck now.
Nathan flashed a half-smile. "Bachok, do you still want to kill me and my family?”
With a thump, Bachok fell heavily to the ground and banged his head repeatedly on the floor. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have come here. Please, General, spare my worthless life!"
