An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1875

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.
