CHAPTER 461: CHAPTER 427: RAID AND COUNTER-RAID

The sudden appearance of the enemy made Mountain Eagle realize that his actions in the mountain must have alerted the people inside, triggering a certain kind of reaction to the presence of the Indians.

Mountain Eagle didn’t know if his actions had tread on Dimension Card Company’s tail, or perhaps triggered some internal conflicts within them, making them desperately need an outlet for release.

large Magangxie Wolves genetically modified, 6 fully armed soldiers, and two trainers with cougars.

They were set on annihilating all the Indian Hunters!

After having settled Daria and Luna, Mountain Eagle pulled open a distance of over 40 meters and blocked the enemy’s path, who were circling from the side.

During the action, Mountain Eagle wore a tactical vest, taking out the VSS which he hadn’t used for a long time, positioning it on a branch of a large tree...

Mountain Eagle possessed the world’s top-notch battlefield perceptivity, the emergence of the intelligent tactical system allowed him to focus more on the emerging situation.

giant wolves, just like those he had encountered before, charged in three waves from three directions towards the main position led by Butcher.

Meanwhile, the enemies flanking from the sides quickly circled to Butcher’s rear, ready to launch a lethal raid as soon as Butcher’s group started to retreat.

Mountain Eagle had faith in Butcher; even if their preparations weren’t 100% complete, a group of hunters armed with high-power weapons should not be crushed by 12 giant wolves; if so, they’d deserve it.

Mountain Eagle patiently waited for the flanking enemies to show themselves, while Butcher and his group engaged the enemy first...

The first to succeed wasn’t the shotgun, but a few large animal traps...

Among the charging giant wolves, two stepped on the traps, and with ’snap snap’ two crisp sounds, the two front limbs trapped wolves let out agonizing howls, rolling like wild bulls while pulling out the rivets that fixed the traps to the ground...

However, the traps hindered the giant wolves from running, causing them to fall every few steps they took.

The lassos set up by the hunters on both sides also had some effect, but sadly these steel wire lassos, which would be inescapable for regular Gray Wolf, were not very effective against the modified giant wolves...

One strong giant wolf with patchy fur just happened to poke its head into one lasso, and as the lasso tightened with the sprint of the giant wolf, the other end tied to the tree branch broke due to the enormous pulling force.

After such incidents occurred several times, the proud Indian Hunters finally realized how crucial Butcher’s reminders were.

"They’re coming, everyone ready, fire, fire..."

Wayne was kneeling on a branch of a large tree, holding a Remington 700 hunting gun, attempting to hit those giant wolves running and leaping through the forest...

"Bang"

As expected, the bullet hit a large tree...

Then the other hunters performed the same futile act...

These hunters, who usually calculated bullet usage even during regular hunting, always fired when the prey stopped moving.

To hit a moving target, not just them, even professional soldiers would need the assistance of a machine-gun-like rapid fire.

Nearby, Butcher shouted, "Don’t panic, don’t panic, they can’t climb trees, shoot closer, shoot closer..."

While Butcher was shouting, 4 giant wolves on the right pounced toward a big tree. A giant wolf, missing a big patch of fur on its head, actually ran a few steps up a straight trunk during the sprint and then leapt backwards, snapping at a hunter’s trouser leg...

The bitten hunter let out a terrified scream, desperately clinging to the trunk next to him, while forcefully pulling up his leg to prevent being dragged down...

Just as the second giant wolf attempted to replicate the approach and jump onto the tree, Butcher, positioned about 30 meters from the side, decisively opened fire...

The M2 shotgun rapidly fired 7 deer bullets...

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Close-range #12 deer bullets were quite powerful, but far less lethal than solitary bullets.

Several giant wolves attacking the huntress howled and let go of their prey, turning towards Butcher and starting to sprint.

One of the most severely injured wolves collapsed halfway and started gasping deeply, unable to stand up, but the remaining three, as if crazed, crashed into the big tree where Butcher was...

With a "Bang"...

Butcher felt the tree shake, then saw the second giant wolf stepping on the first one’s body to leap upwards, opening its big mouth biting towards him.

Butcher, supporting himself on the adjacent trunk, drew his pistol and emptied a magazine into the leaping giant wolf...

10mm ammo quickly drained the giant wolf’s life, causing it to heavily crash to the ground.

Facing the giant wolf directly, even the prepared Butcher appeared somewhat disheveled, let alone the Indian Hunters.

Their initial rage gradually turned into panic.

Climbing the trees was the most correct decision they made, giving them enough space to respond and adjust.

As several giant wolves were successively downed, the situation began to gradually turn around...

A squad in jungle camo maneuvered to the rear of the hunters, just as they were about to initiate an ambush, they heard two barks nearby...

A Malinois wearing a bulletproof vest stood about 30 meters away from them, emitting a warning growl.

Two trainers holding the cougars glanced at each other, simultaneously releasing the cougars’ neck collars, and then the frenzied cougars lunged at Balang...

Balang, facing the charging cougars, showed not a hint of fear, standing still and roaring wildly, as if complaining that the muscular cougars were too slow...

While the trainers’ attention was occupied by the scuffle with the animals, a bullet suddenly struck one trainer’s temple, passing through and then hitting another trainer’s forehead.

Their heads burst open with blood, and they collapsed limply to the ground.

"Sniper..."

In the midst of the armed personnel’s shouts, halfway through their charge, the cougars’ front paws suddenly stepped on a lasso, causing them to lose balance and tumble forward.

After getting up, they tried to continue their charge but found themselves unable to break free from the lasso on their paws, only able to emit piercing roars, then turning back to bite the lasso in an attempt to break free.

Six armed personnel quickly realized something was amiss. They rapidly increased their distance and immediately sought cover.

Their attention had been diverted by the animal confrontation, they hadn’t even noticed the enemy’s whereabouts; now they could only judge Mountain Eagle’s position roughly by the direction in which the trainers fell.

The upgraded VSS’s sound, quieter than 90 decibels, made it nearly impossible to distinguish the source of the gunfire amidst the chaotic scene.

An armed personnel wearing a mask crouched behind a fallen trunk, pulling out a radio to call for support...

Even a fool could tell at this moment that they were encountering a targeted ambush.

Otherwise, why would the Indians fail to stop the giant wolf, and why else would they encounter a sniper...

As he got his radio to connect, an armor-piercing bullet penetrated the decayed giant trunk behind him...

After exiting the trunk, the bullet changed its trajectory, the steel core of the armor-piercing round striking him just below the jaw...

The tumbling steel core, like a small meat grinder, instantly shattered his jawbone, then tore open his left cheek like a chainsaw, causing his lower jawbone to sag completely, exposing the mangled interior of his mouth...

He felt his head shake; he didn’t even feel pain, just a dizziness in his head...

He fell to the ground, brought the radio to his lips, managed to connect, but found he couldn’t utter a word, only making a hissing sound...

Dizzy and unable to feel the blood loss, he didn’t even realize what had happened to him...

He kneeled on the ground, looking towards his companion nearby, only to see his companion backing away in horror as if seeing a ghost.

Seeing his companion’s fear, he instinctively touched his face, then panickedly discovered he could see his own lower teeth...

Mountain Eagle was behind a large tree, watching as that guy, like a zombie, took a few steps and sought help from his companion...

But his plea for help didn’t bring any rescue, instead, he received several fatal bullets.

"Bang bang bang"

Under pressure, an armed personnel shot the unfortunate soul dead, then started firing in the direction where Mountain Eagle might have been...

While others were attentively focused in one direction, preparing to counter-attack as soon as Mountain Eagle showed up, the body of the armed man who fired the gun suddenly trembled, then he painfully collapsed to the ground...

The sound of the armed men’s gunfire covered up the VSS’s gunshot, making it impossible for the remaining people to locate Mountain Eagle.

The remaining four people panicked and huddled within their cover, pulling out their radios and frantically calling for help only to find the radio signals were being jammed.

Unlike the tropical rainforest, Alaska’s density allowed for seeing or hitting each other over distances longer than 30 meters to be rather difficult.

Cheating Mountain Eagle moved out of their line of sight and shifted positions again, then sat behind a fallen tree, setting up the VSS and searching for a shooting angle while using the smart tactical terminal to tap into the enemy’s radio signals...

"Surrender or die!"

That’s the power of the smart tactical terminal...

It integrates all intelligent equipment features, forming a localized information control zone.

It’s not just the integration of visual and auditory capabilities; the potential of Crow, a product obviously ahead of modern technology, was unleashed as well.

The Crow is not only for visual monitoring but also inherently carries a signal relaying function, providing a larger communication range for those carrying a Taeros Communicator.

It also acts as a signal amplifier, allowing Mountain Eagle to communicate with the outside world in the wilderness.

Previously, Mountain Eagle didn’t understand such technology or have the specific equipment to enhance Crow’s performance.

But now with the smart tactical terminal, it’s like Mountain Eagle carries a hacker with him, allowing him to easily track and jam radio signals within the monitoring range.

Monitoring and interfering with mobile and wireless devices would require more technology and equipment support, but simple tracking of the opponent’s signals is still feasible.

Of course, given Crow’s size, the power of interference and monitoring scope wouldn’t be particularly vast, so even with several Crows, the control range remains limited.

However, this ’limited’ is in the context of strategic-level conflicts; for battles spanning tens or even hundreds of square kilometers, facing an enemy like Mountain Eagle is extremely challenging.

The radio signals, being jammed and then accessed, left the remaining four armed personnel exceptionally panicked...

A middle-aged Pot Lid with a scar on his face lay in a tree hole, he pulled off his radio and threw it aside, then turning to a companion nearby and yelled, "Sam, cover me..."
