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

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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere 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.
