CHAPTER 368: CHAPTER 353: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MISTAKES, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR HOLDING THE FORT

Mountain Eagle, in anticipation of the dangers that could arise at any moment, discarded his crutch, donned the exoskeleton and flexible armor to help Butcher and Pigeon establish a defensive position and set up ammunition in the designated places.

Butcher and Pigeon were worried about their boss’s health, but they wouldn’t express it, only working even harder so that the boss would do less.

Actually, from the moment he put on the exoskeleton, the pressure on Mountain Eagle’s right leg vanished.

But the thing can’t be worn 24 hours a day; once it’s taken off, the relaxed leg muscles will feel an increased pressure.

Mountain Eagle’s leg injury hadn’t worsened; it was just that in this slow delay, recovery time was being prolonged.

Setting up a defensive position on crucial points was not complex – nail a few boxes together with discarded planks, position them on the site, then fill them with rocks and sand. When unused, they could even be planted with flowers and such.

At Sunset Mountain, with just one winding road, by arranging three to five such wooden boxes on the mountaintop and on the West Side garden of the café, one could command a view downwards to suppress the enemy coming up the road.

If there were enough wooden box positions around the mountaintop, they could potentially cover the surrounding jungle as well.

However, this wasn’t something that could be done in a short time, and Mountain Eagle wasn’t in a rush. He focused first on the roadside, leaving the rest to be done gradually later.

Busy until around one in the morning, just when Mountain Eagle thought about going back to take a shower and sleep, an excited cry from Zorn came over the radio...

"They’re here, two vehicles..."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle patted Butcher on his back and said, "You take Daria and her sisters to the West Side garden of the café, while Pigeon heads to the mountaintop."

After that, Mountain Eagle activated Crow, perched on his own rooftop, and quickly spotted the location of the visitors with his tactical glasses.

Two small panel vans turned onto the road leading to Sunset Mountain, currently about three kilometers away from it.

Anyone coming here at this hour couldn’t possibly be one of their own...

Mountain Eagle strode into his house and, upon seeing Marta about to rush outside with a rifle, grabbed the girl, pressed her down onto the sofa and, pointing to the bullets and magazines on the coffee table, said, "You’re our support personnel now. Only when you receive our call are you allowed to leave this room to deliver ammunition to us."

Seeing Marta’s slightly aggrieved look, Mountain Eagle said cheerfully, "Why the long face?

Support is a very important aspect of combat. If you perform well, it’ll greatly relieve our pressure."

Marta, hugging her knees, said, "I’m not a burden!"

Mountain Eagle, smiling, replied, "Of course you’re not a burden, you’re an important member of the team, fulfilling a key role.

Do you know why I brought you here, but didn’t call Luo Yang?

Because I think girls are more meticulous and can better understand our needs. You’re perfectly suited to be our strong backbone."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle ruffled Marta’s hair and continued, "I’ve always been planning to create an Arctic Fox Rescue Team...

The purpose is to respond to calls and fly to every corner of the world to save those Arctic Fox descendants with similar identities as yours.

You know I’m busy; I can’t really handle too many trivial matters, as Blood Fox might want.

I think you’re the best choice!

I placed you in the Ao Nan office to hone your skills.

This situation is the same!

If you can steadfastly help us get through this difficulty, you’ll be the best candidate for captain of this team.

Haven’t you always said you want to help relieve the pressure on Blood Fox?

Now’s your chance!"

After finishing, Mountain Eagle watched Marta, who looked dazed and flustered by his ’pie in the sky,’ patted her on the shoulder seriously and said, "Count the ammunition, record consumption; I’ll check in the morning, and you surely don’t want me to give you a zero."

After hearing this, Marta nodded vigorously and said, "I can do it, I definitely can. If you need, make sure to call me right away..."

Mountain Eagle nudged Balang’s two sons next to Marta, saying, "Take good care of them, as if you were caring for Arctic Fox descendants..."

Camel, carrying an MK20 sniper support rifle and a Barrett, curiously nudged Eddie beside him, asking, "What did this guy do in the past?

If I had his skill, perhaps my daughter wouldn’t be dropping out of high school."

Eddie, slinging an HK416 on his back while picking up a Remington 700 Sniper Rifle...

Hearing Camel’s question, Eddie smiled mysteriously and said, "That guy used to serve in a covert department of Hua Country, rumored to be experts in Kung Fu and casting spells of beguilement.

My wife says he’s a genius in underground dealings, but I think he’s a mad freak.

Your daughter’s within his rescue range as well; if I were you, I’d make Tiffany HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) retire and join his crew."

"This guy is now a big shot, and hanging with him is surely more promising than staying with HRT."

Camel pondered after listening and said, "I’ll go back and talk to Tiffany...

The current commander of HRT is an idiot who postures as if he’s commanding; he kicked out many capable people and formed a team of lambs to train and work.

There are a few ex-HRT guys at my training camp now, maybe I should let Tiffany lead them to form a small squad.

If what that guy just said is all true, they would definitely be suitable candidates for the ’Arctic Fox Rescue Team’.

FUCK, Arctic Fox Rescue Team, what was this guy thinking?"

The two old men laughed and followed Mountain Eagle to the edge of the mountaintop, next to a few of the flowerbed positions...

Pigeon, already in place, lay on a waterproof mat, holding an infrared telescope in his hand, with an AWM sniper rifle fitted with an infrared adaptor next to him, also known as the renowned Magnum...

Hearing the noise behind him, Pigeon turned his head and said, "The incoming people are very cunning; they discovered halfway through that there were cameras mounted on the utility poles. Some individuals from one of the cars disembarked and started walking through the jungle."

Mountain Eagle had been keeping an eye on those people, and their actions just confirmed his speculation...

This was the first probing attack, with a total of 16 people in two cars. If Sunset Mountain couldn’t hold them off, they would be able to capture Mountain Eagle directly.

If they withstand it, their subsequent attacks would continue to put pressure on Sunset Mountain, trying to move the defense mechanisms on Anna’s side.

In fact, Mountain Eagle had always felt that Black Fox would place the main combat force in Kamui, as Anna was at sea, protected not only by Chi Hu and the Round Table Knights but also able to mooch off the protection of the Thai Coast Guard.

For Black Fox to attack the yacht using pirate tactics in Thai territorial waters is unrealistic.

Too few and they can’t mount an assault, too many and they’ll be shot like dogs by the coast guard!

Mountain Eagle confirmed through Crow’s observations that these people were clearly not Thai locals; looking at their actions, one could tell they were cunning mercenaries.

The men from the two cars divided into two groups, effectively probing Sunset Mountain’s security pattern to test whether those cameras were really useful.

Keeping one car halfway allowed them to have a vehicle to use when retreating.

When the mercenaries on the car approached within 600 meters of Sunset Mountain’s winding road entrance, they also began to disembark and walk, employing step-by-step tactical coordination and slowly moving towards the mouth of Sunset Mountain with the car’s protection.

Camel, looking through the scope of his Barrett, watched the enemy’s movements and said with a grin, "These guys are being very cautious, not the state that ordinary mercenaries should have; someone must have warned them in advance.

Mountain Eagle, someone must be watching Sunset Mountain from afar, as they were not deceived by our helicopter arrival.

If Black Fox had things arranged in advance, why didn’t he launch a surprise attack when you were unprepared?"

Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "Because his target when making the plan wasn’t me. I’ll inform Anna to stay vigilant, or perhaps just park the boat near the coast guard patrol route.

No matter what, the people around her must not be tampered with!"

As Mountain Eagle spoke, Pigeon suddenly put down the telescope, set up the AWM, and said, "Vehicle personnel in range, distance 700 meters, wind direction southeast, wind speed 5 meters, visibility good, ready to fire at any time..."

Camel looked at Pigeon in surprise, put on his audio pickup headphones, aimed through the scope at the vehicle’s driver, and said, "I’ll take the driver..."

Eddie operated the bolt of the Remington 700, pushing a .300 Magnum bullet into the chamber, and said, "I’ll take the gunman on the right...

shit, these guys are well-equipped, much stronger than those we encountered at Libe Island.

Where did Black Fox get so much NATO weaponry from?"

At this moment, Mountain Eagle was even more certain of his guess, and irritably said, "Where else but Malaysia?

Black Fox must have arranged everything before setting the trap for you guys at Libe Island.

Anna was still boasting Galahad of the Round Table Knights as something extraordinary, who knew you old guys would be so crappy...

Hold your fire, my gun’s range is inadequate, let’s let them come closer, wait until those crossing through the woods meet with them before we act."

Chatty Eddie shut his mouth helplessly at this time; although they had stepped through Black Fox’s trap on Libe Island, they were indeed being led by the nose.

The combat strength of this group was frighteningly strong, but tactically they were failures.

Facing the enemy’s probing attack, Mountain Eagle didn’t want to do too much running; he stayed glued to a cover, squatting on the ground with his HK417 aimed at the people below.

The enemy’s movements were extremely cautious, even as they approached the winding road, they still maintained their tactical formation...

The regrouped enemies split into 4 waves; the first wave of two people scouted the way, the second wave of six, the third wave of five, and the fourth wave of five, each wave keeping nearly 20 meters apart.

Because it was a winding mountain road, Mountain Eagle, wanting to annihilate the enemy, simply let the first two waves leave his shooting range...

The moment the last enemy entered the winding road, Mountain Eagle engaged the safety on his HK417...

"Fire, don’t let a single one escape..."
