The night was as dark as ink, and all was still, save for the faint, hurried sound of horse hooves. Leading a hand-picked force of elite and formidable soldiers, Li Rufeng took advantage of the cover of night and made a silent, overnight dash toward the preset target. The troop sped like a black dragon across the moonlight-lit wilderness.
Finally, they arrived at a hidden mountain hollow not far from the enemy camp. Raising a hand to signal the troop to halt, Li Rufeng said in a low voice, "Lads, we've reached our destination. Stay quiet for now and keep your guards up."
Vice General Mei, who had already persuaded Li Rufeng to let him join the assault force, crept up to Li Rufeng's side and said, "Deputy General Li, our top priority is to immediately send out scouts to reconnoiter the enemy camp and see if their deployment has changed."
