Chapter 382 James hid beneath a rock by the cliff. His entire body was hidden in the cracks of the rock, and only his
head was left exposed. He used various kinds of plants to quickly fashion a makeshift covering for his head. Even if
someone passed by him, it was unlikely that they would notice him as long as he remained silent.
Below the cliff, a brigade was searching for him with torchlights. After his position had been blasted over the radio,
more and more of his enemies gathered around the area. There were at least three thousand of them below.
Seeing the light below, James made a small smirk.
He quietly got up. Then, he placed the explosives he had just crafted between the cracks of a rock that was on the
verge of falling
He perched atop a rock and quickly readied his sniper rifle.
Bang!
One of the men below was shot dead and crumpled to the ground.
“Enemy alert!”
Realizing that they were compromised, the men panicked. “Twelve o’clock! On that cliff!”

As James emerged from hiding, countless torchlights illuminated the night sky. They were all pointed at the cliff
before them.
After opening fire, James grabbed the gun and leaped several meters in the air. In the blink of an eye, he was at the
top of the cliff.
Rat-tat-tat!
The machine gun on the helicopters sprayed the area around the cliff. Their bullets never found their target as
James was already gone.
After he left, a few thousand men began to climb the mountain.
However, James had planted explosives on the cliff beforehand.
The men climbing the mountain unwittingly set them off.
Boom!
The sound of a loud blast rang through the air.
The cliff came crashing down.
Many below were crushed, and their bodies were mangled beyond recognition. “Retreat! Retreat! There’s a bomb!”
The brigade quickly retreated. At central command at Mt. Thunder, the commander-in-chief in his black overcoat
cursed,” Useless! All these idiots are useless! There are a hundred thousand of them and they can’t even capture a
single guy after taking so long? Relay my orders. Send in the bombers and flatten the entire place.” “We shouldn’t,
sir!”
A general hurriedly explained, “This isn’t a game. The Black Dragon army will be alerted if we send in the bombers.
Once they mobilize, this could spark a war. Our nations aren’t capable of withstanding the wrath of the Black
Dragon army.” “He’s right! We cannot do this.”
“Commander-in-chief, we have placed our sentinels in every area. We’re slowly closing in on the Black Dragon.
Before daybreak, he will be trapped in the encirclement. There’ll no place left for him to run.”
The generals from different countries tried their best to dissuade the commander.
The commander-in-chief was called Ferdinand McDonald.
He was a general of Yanville. A year ago, his brother was killed by the Black Dragon at Mt. Thunder Pass. He’d
sworn to get vengeance for his brother since that day. Now that the opportunity had arisen, he was not going to
allow the Black Dragon to escape so easily. “It’s night-time now. That’s why the Black Dragon’s able to stay hidden.
Once the sun rises, he’ll have nowhere no hide. His hours are numbered.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly upon hearing this did Ferdinand manage to reign himself back.
James had planned to make his escape once he killed a few more of his enemies.
He had been on the run constantly in the mountain.
Gradually, he noticed more and more people gathering around the area. There were also sentinels guarding every
critical spot. He felt like he saw them every other step he took He was slowly getting trapped in the encirclement.
Once surrounded, the enemy would work swiftly to close in on him. He was in dire straits. James hid in a big tree.
He grimly scanned his surroundings. He never once lost his cool. Instead, he constantly assessed the situation and
kept thinking of ways to break through the encirclement.
As long as he could break through it, he could buy time until daybreak. Once the sun has risen and the Black
Dragon army mobilizes, this mountain would turn into a graveyard for his
enemies. After serious contemplation, he took a deep breath. He could no longer conceal himself. He had no other
choice than to take a head-on approach. After coming to that decision, he kept himself hidden while he waited for
the perfect opportunity to strike. Soon, a squad appeared.
Another squad trailed close behind them, with many more drawing in from the distance.
