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 time comes, 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 Plains 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 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 he ambushed to plant a few land mines and pressed forward.
Soon, he 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, he got up and hurriedly left the area.
Not long after, he saw a few squads coming his way.
