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 favonovel.com as long as favonovel.com remained silent.
Below the cliff, a brigade was searching for favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com placed the explosives favonovel.com 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!”
“Reporting to headquarters. We have found the Black 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com will be trapped in the encirclement. There’ll no place left for favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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.”
Only upon hearing this did Ferdinand manage to reign himself back.
James had planned to make his escape once favonovel.com killed a few more of his enemies. He had been on the run constantly in the mountain.
Gradually, favonovel.com noticed more and more people gathering around the area. There were also sentinels guarding every critical spot. He felt like favonovel.com saw them every other step favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com constantly assessed the situation and kept thinking of ways to break through the encirclement. As long as favonovel.com could break through it, favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com kept himself hidden while favonovel.com 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.
