However, favonovel.com was currently in a precarious situation. There was no way favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com found a secluded spot and hid Henry there.
After that, favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com with the geographical knowledge favonovel.com needed. The main concern was to attract the enemy’s attention. Otherwise, Henry would be in mortal danger if favonovel.com were found.
The light from the torchlights pierced the dense foliage. James concealed himself while pressing forward. After walking a couple of miles, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com ambushed to plant a few land mines and pressed forward.
Soon, favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com got up and hurriedly left the area. Not long after, favonovel.com saw a few squads coming his way. He climbed onto a tree and hid in the dense foliage. Then, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com moved through the branches, favonovel.com opened fire at the other squad below and killed them in an instant.
After finishing them off, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com leaped a distance of five to six meters and landed on another tree. He moved with determination.
Soon, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com break out of the encirclement?
He believed it was near impossible. There were barely any hiding spots favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com if favonovel.com ended up getting surrounded.
