Bang!
The sound of a gunshot pierced the air, and a bullet flew toward Nathan.
In the scope of the rifle, the sniper could see the man tilting his head a fraction. Consequently, the bullet missed its target and whizzed past the side of Nathan’s face before hitting one of the lion statues at the entrance of the White House, chipping off a corner of its head.
The sniper's eyes went wide even as incredulity showed on his face. Oh my God! He actually dodged a bullet! While he was immersed in shock, Colin had already raised his submachine gun at lightning speed, locked onto his target, and pulled the trigger. Everything was accomplished in a single go.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot rang out once more, and a bullet shot into the air.
Shatter!
The bullet hit the scope of the rifle in the sniper's hand, shattering the glass into smithereens before hitting the man's right eye at the same velocity, penetrating right into his skull.
He was dead with a single shot to the head.
They were four hundred meters apart, but Colin managed to hit and kill the sniper who was hiding in the dark. That was something only Eurasia's Master Sharpshooter could accomplish.
That shot astounded Xavion, Titus, and the others.
Xavion and Titus' expressions changed drastically. They swiftly hid in their armored command vehicles. At the same time, they issued an order to their troops, seemingly in concert. “Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle and storm the White House to take Nathan Cross down!”
On the heels of that, the two armored command vehicles started retreating while the light tanks and armored SUVs beside them charged forward like mad beasts. The soldiers also promptly raised their sub-machine guns and took up combat stances at the order of their respective generals.
Right then, the military helicopters soaring in the sky in the distance were also drawing increasingly closer.
Meanwhile, Nathan, Colin, and the others began retreating into the White House.
Nathan commanded in a deep voice, “Activate all defense systems and engage battle mode.”
As his voice fell, the civil defense siren of the White House, which resembled a small castle, started blaring relentlessly.
Anti-aircraft missiles initially hidden in the depths of the White House drove out, and the radar on them whirred ceaselessly.
At the same time, the various troops started going into combat mode.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rebel troops outside had begun opening fire.
Several tanks, countless armored SO Vs, and the newly-arrived armed helicopters opened fire simultaneously.
Innumerable bullets rained down on the White House.
