He had to end this quickly.
With a leap, he descended upon them.
Rat-tat-tat!
The squad opened fire even before he had landed. However, they were instantly taken out. James
rushed forward and began plundering their supplies,guns, bullets, grenades, and tool kits.
“Over there!”
“Quick!” “It’s the Black Dragon!”
Everyone opened fire. More people began to draw closer to the sound of the commotion. Then, the
helicopters arrived.
The machine guns were fired with reckless abandon around the area in an effort to take James down.
After seizing the supplies, James nimbly dodged the bullets. He leaped high up the air onto a tree and
hopped through the dense brush.
He then concealed himself atop a thirty-meter-high tree. Combat aircrafts hovered menacingly in the
sky.
James narrowed his eyes at the sight. He didn’t have a chance to break through the encirclement as
long as they were around.
A combat aircraft was headed towards him and was only about thirty meters away.
James took a grenade out and threw it forcefully into the air.
At the same time, he jumped onto another tree and opened fire at the sky. Bang! The grenade
exploded.
The combat aircraft had been hit and instantly lit up in flames. Like a stringless kite, it crashed from the
sky and exploded into a ball of burning metal debris.
The crash also took out many unsuspecting men on the ground. As the combat aircraft crashed to the
ground, bombs fell from the sky and detonated in the area James was in. Even the trees were uprooted
by the blast. Fortunately, none were able to hit him as he had already quickly moved on from the area.
He was already a kilometer away.
He hid once more in a tree, breathing heavily from the exertion. His body was having a hard time
keeping up with his intense mental concentration and extreme physical movements.
His energy was almost completely spent. He needed to eat and restore his energy soon. If he did not,
he would lose his ability to fight very soon.
It was at this very moment that his tobacco addiction kicked in. He needed to have a smoke.
He saw the hollow of a tree in a distance. Like a snake, he descended the tree at an astonishing
speed. He entered the hollow with a fluid dive.
He took a cigarette out and lit it.
He took a deep, long drag. All his fatigue was instantly washed away.
From his bag, he took out a few fortified biscuits and a bottle of mineral water.
It did not take long for his small moment of respite to be broken again. James peeked through the
crevice of the tree and noticed fully-armed soldiers heading toward the area he was in.
He quietly planted a few land mines and disappeared into the night.
A few minutes later…
Boom!
There was an explosion, and many were killed in the blast. James kept disappearing and re-emerging
as if he was able to blend into shadows themselves.
Even so, a hundred-thousand-strong army was assembled in this area. James’ movements were slowly
but surely getting more and more restricted.
James looked at the watch on his wrist. It was only two o’clock in the morning. There were still many
hours until daybreak. In the mean time, the area James’ was able to move around in had gotten so
small that any movement he made was extremely risky.
“Where’s the central command?” James wracked his brain for answers.
He tried his best to pinpoint the location of the enemy’s central command. If he wiped out the central
command, the forces of the twenty-eight-nation alliance would be leaderless and thus, a lot less
coordinated.
“Mt. Thunder?”
James came upon a possible area for the base-the top of Mt. Thunder. After he left, that was the first
place his enemies had appeared in.
As such, the central command was likely at the top of Mt. Thunder. Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in
James’ head. He had a daring idea. He thought of a way to return to Mt. Thunder and destroy the
brains of the enemy’s operation.
