Stalking Tiger, Hissing Snake

"Finally, some rest!" Hou Fei sighed as he sat down in a corner stacked with supply boxes and took out a cigarette for a smoke. He had been coordinating all morning with the Border Guards for the first wave of forest sweep. 

The Border Guards were initially confused as to why the Royal Snake General were to bring such heavy machinery and even lending them some of it. But even without any exchange of words, they knew it was better to over prepare than not having anything. Thus, the Captains of the various Border Wall Sections and a select group of guards went through a quick induction course with some of the heavier weaponry like rocket propelled grenades and even heavy machine guns.

"You sure make it hard for people to find you. Were it not for your rank, I would have reprimanded you already." A man in combat fatigues noted as he casually waved at Hou Fei which he had caught smoking.
