The Almighty Dragon General

hapter 384 There only were a few hours left until daybreak.

He would not be able to last until then if he did not come up with a plan.

He was not a hundred percent sure that the central command was at the top of Mt. Thunder either.

However, the top of Mt. Thunder was logically a very strategic location. If he was the commander, he too would

choose to construct a temporary command center there.

That was because it was surrounded by cliffs on all sides. Not only that, it had a vantage point that was easily

defensible.

After getting a grasp of the situation, James began formulating his plan.

He closed his eyes, trying to remember the routes he had taken to deduce his current location and distance relative

to the top of Mt. Thunder.

Relying on memory alone was not a very reliable measure, but it was close enough.

His main conundrum now was that the enemy’s main forces were slowly cornering him. He needed to think of a

way to break the encirclement and he needed to do it fast. It was no longer possible for him to sneak away

unnoticed. On the flip side, getting to the top in his condition would be quite the task if he showed himself now.

He chose to remain hidden. Meanwhile, the sky filled with more combat aircraft. Their bright spotlights pierced the

night sky like sweeping lasers.

James knew he was running out of time.

The area he was in was already in everyone’s crosshairs. If he did not leave in time, an army of a hundred

thousand men would be there to confront him in battle. Once the enemy launched a pincer attack from all sides,

there would be no escape for him. The moment the spotlight disappeared, he swiftly leaped down the tree. Just as

he landed, the spotlight once again returned to light up the trees. He got on the ground in the bushes and lay

motionless. Only after the spotlight had left the area did he continue moving forward.

He slowly sneaked in the direction of the army and then attempted to go around them.

He eventually reached an area with many men surrounding him.

These fully-armed men wearing LED flashlights on their heads were conducting a blanket search of the area. They

systematically moved forward and shrunk the encirclement. James could tell from just the lights that there were at

least a thousand men there.

Finishing them off would not have been too difficult a task. The problem he faced was the helicopter circling in the

sky searching for the slightest hint of his whereabouts. Once the battle commenced, he’d be immediately exposed

to the relentless bombardment and machine gun fire of the helicopters. He lifted his head and squinted the sky.

There were at least ten helicopters.

“Tch, how annoying.”

James clicked his tongue under his breath. With the sniper rifle on his back, he surreptitiously made his way to a cliff

and hid in the bushes near a rock.

Then, he pulled out the rifle and set it up. It had a range of a thousand meters. Concealed, Jarnes aimed at a

helicopter in the sky. It was moving in the air lazily. He worked out the wind force, the drag, and the helicopter’s

speed in his mind. As the helicopter flew into his range, he opened fire.

The bullet pierced through the helicopter’s window and killed the pilot instantly. The helicopter spun out of control

and crashed to the ground.

Boom!

Upon impact with the ground, the helicopter exploded into a ball of flames. The surrounding dry grass caught fire.

The fast-spreading flames lit up the pitch-black surroundings. At the sight James, who had been hidden atop a cliff

the entire time, smiled slightly. He quickly went back into hiding and continued searching for more opportunities.

Soon, he found another one.

He opened fire once more and killed another helicopter pilot. That helicopter went down just as quickly as the first.

The commotion attracted the attention of the nearby soldiers. They all knew the Black Dragon was in this area and

they hastily made their way there. In just a short amount of time, ten thousand men had gathered there. Seeing

this, James scowled.

He decided against remaining at the same spot for too long. He loaded up the rifle on his back again and swiftly

moved through the brush. At the top of Mt. Thunder, Ferdinand cursed upon receiving the intelligence reports,”

Worthless! All these men are worthless! How did he take down the helicopter by himself?!” “General, this is the

Black Dragon we’re talking about. Worry not, he might have the advantage of blending into the terrain at night, but

once the sun rises, he’ll be trapped like a

rat.”

“That’s right. The twenty-eight-nation alliance has mobilized a hundred thousand men. There’s no way the Black

Dragon’s getting out of here alive.” “He’s as good as dead.”

“We just need to wait until daybreak.” Generals from the twenty-eight nations gathered in the central command. As

they had been defeated by James in the past, they were well aware of his strength. That was why they remained

composed. Once the sun rose, James would have nowhere else to hide. Within this time, James had already

exterminated a few sentinels in the area and managed to

obtain a rocket launcher.

He stood on a tree with a rocket launcher on his shoulder and aimed at a helicopter in the sky.

Boom!

He fired the rocket launcher.

It was a direct hit.

Another helicopter crashed to the ground.
