Atop the mountain, most of the geniuses from the Hidden Dragon Camp had already arrived.
A few individuals deserted at the last moment, and were killed with a single palm strike by General Jiu Yue.
Under normal circumstances, he would not have done this, but wartime was different, desertion could seriously affect morale.
He had already given these people a chance before, allowing them to report any issues in advance.
However, these individuals did not do so and chose to flee upon reaching the battlefield, leading to suspicions of them having some special motive.
After all, the infiltration of the Heavenly Ninja Academy within the Hidden Dragon Camp was practically an open secret; the only question was, even General Jiu Yue himself did not know, who exactly the infiltrator was.
His deterrent execution stabilized the geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Camp, keeping them from running away. Instead, they clenched their teeth, ready to fight against the Green-eyed Clan.
