Meanwhile, in a stony hollow to the east of the town.
A 15-person armed squad disguised as government troops was regrouping.
Apart from the three on lookout, everyone was sleeping on the ground, but their firearms were never out of reach.
"Captain!"
Chu Tian opened his eyes and instinctively gripped his automatic rifle.
"Captain! An urgent piece of intelligence has come in from above!" said a team member in a hushed voice amidst the darkness.
"Speak!"
"According to the latest intelligence we've acquired, our target is currently stationed in Harasta Town to the west."
Chu Tian perked up at this news.
"Harasta Town? That's barely more than an hour's journey away. Wake everyone up; we leave immediately!"
...
Two hours later, under the cover of night, fifteen members of the Dragon Hunting Team reached the outskirts of the town.
From here, they could see the lights at the town's centre.
