The Legendary Man

The Legendary Man Chapter 740-A military Jeep came to a halt beside a ten-meter-tall desert poplar on the west of Saosa Desert.

Jonathan then hopped out of the car and retrieved a canvas from the trunk. The canvas had a camouflage pattern that matched the sand around him.

After draping the canvas over the Jeep and securing its corners to all four wheels, Jonathan slung his sniper rifle on his back and ran toward the west.

Saosa Desert was huge and spanned Merania, West Region, and Chanaea.

Of course, Chanaea owned the largest part of the desert.

Despite the desert being barren and uninhabitable, it was an incredibly important part of Chanaea.

Furthermore, it was possible for Saosa Desert to contain huge amounts of unmined petroleum beneath it.

West Region had been trying to invade Chanaea since petroleum became a main resource over a hundred years ago.

Chanaea had natural borders, such as mountains and jungles, surrounding it, but Saosa Desert had nothing of the sort.

Its sand dunes would constantly shift around as a result of the sandstorms, so the border could only be defined through geographic coordinates.

Even so, West Region had, on multiple occasions, crossed the Chanaean border by claiming the geographic coordinates were unclear in hopes of coveting the oil resources.

That led to lots of minor conflicts between the two countries over the years.

That desert poplar was one of the very few visible landmarks near the Chanaean border, and Mysonna Army would always pass by it when patrolling the area.

For some reason, seeing a tree in the middle of the desert had a reassuring effect on them, even if it was no longer alive.

Jonathan wrapped himself up with a black camouflage canvas and continued running across the sand dunes.

He had to go on foot as there were no roads or paths that he could drive on.

On top of that, the Chanaean-West Region border was just ten kilometers away, so it would be easy to detect him if he drove there.

Most people would assume that they should wear less clothing when traveling through the hot desert.

However, the temperature in the desert during the afternoon could go up to seventy degrees. Walking through the desert was no different from being in an oven.
