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 nts 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 sted 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 ced 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 werepromised, the men panicked.


    “Twelve o’clock! On that cliff!”


    “Reporting to headquarters. We have found the ck Dragon. Request for backup. Line 182, Area C.”


    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 nted explosives on the cliff beforehand.


    The men climbing the mountain unwittingly set them off.


    Boom!


    The sound of a loud st 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 centralmand at Mt. Thunder, themander-in-chief in his ck 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? Ry my orders. Send in the bombers and tten the entire ce.”


    “We shouldn’t, sir!”


    A general hurriedly exined, “This isn’t a game. The ck 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 ck Dragon army.”


    “He’s right! We cannot do this.”


    “Commander-in-chief, we have ced our sentinels in every area. We’re slowly closing in on the ck


    Dragon. Before daybreak, he will be trapped in the encirclement. There’ll no ce left for him to run.”


    The generals from different countries tried their best to dissuade themander.


    Themander-in-chief was called Ferdinand McDonald.


    He was a general of Yanville.


    A year ago, his brother was killed by the ck 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 ck Dragon to escape so easily.


    “It’s night-time now. That’s why the ck Dragon’s able to stay hidden. Once the sun rises, he’ll have


    nowhere no hide. His hours are numbered.”


    Only upon hearing this did Ferdinand manage to reign himself back.


    James had nned 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


    ck Dragon army mobilizes, this mountain would turn into a graveyard for his enemies.


    After serious contemtion, he took a deep breath.


    He could no longer conceal himself. He had no other choice than to take a head-on approach.


    Aftering 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.
