Chapter 381
However, he was currently in a precarious situation. There was no way he could keep Henry alive on his own.
“I’ll avenge you, Henry.
” Wearing a grim expression, James clenched his fists. “I’ll never forgive the person behind this. Rest well here. I’m going to
divert the enemies’ attention. You must hold on. Reinforcements will arrive at daybreak. When the time comes, I’ll bring you back
to Cansington.” James lifted Henry and walked toward the deepest parts of the cave. Finally, he found a secluded spot and hid
Henry there.
After that, he removed any lingering scents and traces that were there.
James knew that the enemy would have military dogs. If they happened to detect them, Henry would be as good as doomed.
Removing Henry’s scent would prevent them from sensing his presence.
After ensuring everything was set up the best it could be, he quickly left.
He left the stone cave and headed straight into the thick foliage. His experience staying in the Southern Plains for a decade
armed him with the geographical knowledge he needed. The main concern was to attract the enemy’s attention. Otherwise,
Henry would be in mortal danger if he were found.

The light from the torchlights pierced the dense foliage. James concealed himself while pressing forward. After walking a couple
of miles, he emerged from the foliage and promptly eliminated a squad, seizing a gun, some bullets, and a military bag. “Squad
five from Xanadu was ambushed. All members were killed.”
In central command at the top of Mt. Thunder...
After receiving the intelligence report, the commander-in-chief of the twenty-eight-nation alliance gave the order, “Locate the
area. All members! Head immediately toward the area where squad five from Xanadu was ambushed. Conduct a blanket search.
Don’t let even a mosquito pass through you.” “Commander-in-chief, the squad was ambushed at area C.”
“Head toward area C now. Cordon off the area.” After receiving orders, the army swiftly made its way toward area C. Meanwhile,
James used his plundered equipment from the squad he ambushed to plant a few land mines and pressed forward.
Soon, he could see light in the distance. Helicopters were circling with their sweeping spotlights, scanning the areas below them.
James lay on the ground in the bushes and kept very still.
After the helicopters had finally left, he got up and hurriedly left the area. Not long after, he saw a few squads coming his way. He
climbed onto a tree and hid in the dense foliage.
Then, he readied a grenade. The squad below approached slowly while scanning their surroundings.
Boom!
There was an explosion, and one of the squads was eliminated instantly.
James leaped toward another tree. As he moved through the branches, he opened fire at the other squad below and killed them
in an instant.
After finishing them off, he went back into hiding. “Reporting! Squad thirty-four, eighty-nine, and a hundred and fifty from
Geosenge were ambushed. The coordinates are zone 45, area C.”
Central command at Mt. Thunder received the intelligence report.
The commander-in-chief gave more orders, “Everyone nearby head toward the area. Surround the whole area. You’ll be court-
martialed if the Black Dragon escapes.” Hearing the orders, the squads nearby immediately made haste toward the specified
location. James struck again and his actions attracted a brigade this time.
There were at least ten helicopters in the area searching for him.
James knew he had to break through the enemy ranks and leave immediately. If the brigade arrived and surrounded the area,
his escape routes would have been blocked off.
He hid amidst the leaf cover and waited for the helicopters to leave. Like an agile monkey, he leaped a distance of five to six
meters and landed on another tree.
He moved with determination.
Soon, he was out of the encirclement.
He hid beneath a big rock by the cliff. A few helicopters took turns scanning the area with their spotlight from afar. James lay
there motionless. He was contemplating.
How could he break out of the encirclement?
He believed it was near impossible. There were barely any hiding spots he could use for a prolonged period. He had no choice
but to constantly change locations and lead his pursuers on a wild goose chase. Only certain death awaited him if he ended up
getting surrounded.
