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 timees, 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 ins 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 centralmand at the top of Mt. Thunder…


    After receiving the intelligence report, themander-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 nket 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 nt a fewnd


    mines and pressed forward.


    Soon, he could see light in the distance. Helicopters were circling with their sweeping spotlights,


    scanning the areas below them.


    Jamesy 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 squadsing 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.”


    Centralmand at Mt. Thunder received the intelligence report.


    Themander-in-chief gave more orders, “Everyone nearby head toward the area. Surround the


    whole area. You’ll be court-martialed if the ck 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 andnded 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.


    Jamesy there motionless.


    He was contemting.


    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.
