A Female Alpha’s Revenge

Chapter 425

Third Person’s POV

Horace Hill was tall and treacherous, lacking the dense forests of previous mountains to carve a path through.

The climb from base to midpoint was manageable, but the higher they went, the steeper the terrain became.

Beyond the midpoint, the mountain face was a sheer cliff, with only a few resilient trees sprouting from its crevices–effectively, no path at all.

The cliff face, at least thirty meters high, had to be scaled. Beyond it, the path, though difficult, could be navigated with hacking and slashing.

But the cliff itself was the obstacle.

“We’ve got iron hooks and ropes,” one said.

Klein replied, “They’re useless here. The cliff face is too smooth–no protruding rocks for the hooks to grip. We’ll have to leap up and grab those saplings for leverage. Only Lance and I can manage it.”

Tommy assessed the situation. “I can do it too,” he volunteered.

If he could leap up and grab a sapling, he could ascend. Though challenging, he was confident he could pull it off.

Caldwell, nimble and agile, also chimed in. “I can do it as well.”

Time was of the essence with pursuers close behind.

Klein and Lance exchanged a glance and decided on the only viable option–carrying the others up the cliff.

But aside from Tommy and Caldwell, eleven more people needed to be carried, meaning at least five or six trips back and forth.

In their exhausted state, this was a daunting prospect.

“Klein, I’m sorry,” Lance said apologetically.
