Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 820 - 766: You Will Regret This
Mountain Eagle didn't waste words with that Chuck. He made this call simply to test the other party's attitude toward those Demon Group soldiers.
The result was that the other party quickly transformed from a robotic state into a caring image and proposed a so-called 48-hour deadline.
Mountain Eagle is very sensitive to people's emotional reactions. The 48-hour payment deadline had nothing to do with sincerity, and Chuck clearly knew that Mountain Eagle could guess it was a smoke bomb.
Once Mountain Eagle was distracted by the 48-hour timeframe and became entangled in whether their attack would advance or delay, he'd be thrown off.
This guy is very formidable. He immediately realized upon receiving the call from Mountain Eagle that Mountain Eagle might want to exploit his attitude toward soldiers.
So, even though the so-called 'medical fee' of 2 million US Dollars was extremely exaggerated, he readily agreed and then proposed the 48-hour deadline.
He made the arrangement flawless and then subtly disrupted Mountain Eagle's thinking. Being able to make decisions quickly under unfavorable conditions, this guy is undoubtedly an excellent commander…
However, he made a non-fatal mistake, which was that after asking for the number of survivors, he never inquired about their condition again.
If the Codfish Team and Chimera Squad knew nothing, Chuck could claim it was his negotiation strategy…
But after Jacob pointed out that Chuck possessed four powerful aerial bombs, Mountain Eagle didn't even need to persuade; these people could understand their own status and position.
Of course, they don't know yet, so…
Mountain Eagle smiled as he looked at the Chimera Squad leader, Cohen, whose face was burnt and full of anger and resentment. He handed the satellite phone to Cohen and said with a smile, "Your boss cares a lot about you all.
So I will send all of you to Brown Bear Camp for detention, and then we'll see if, when he wants to drop aerial bombs to bombard me, he'll hesitate a little for your sake."
Saying that Mountain Eagle patted the shoulder of Cohen, who looked puzzled, and then picked up the phone and waved it at the stubborn Harif, saying, "I will, in your name, invite your parents, your sister, and her family to El Salvador as guests. If you haven't been bombed to death by your boss, you might have the chance to meet and reunite with them there.
Don't thank me, it was you who reminded me, foolish people always need to feel the pain before apologizing for the mistakes they've made.
Instead of wasting time on people like you, I'd rather do something more meaningful!"
Harif, the stubborn one, listened, squirmed on the ground, and shouted curses loudly, "God will punish bastards like you…"
Mountain Eagle suddenly found it particularly funny looking at this guy, and said, "You Jews even sold Jesus. Perhaps I'm the one sent by God to punish you."
After saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced around at those already awake guys, and he smiled, saying, "Harif has expressed your inner thoughts, so I will invite all your families to visit El Salvador…
Rest assured, the climate and scenery there are great, they will love it!"
"NO, NO, NO…"
The Demon Group member, trying to stop Harif from speaking, struggled to sit up, looked at Mountain Eagle in horror, and shouted loudly, "Whatever you do, bring it on me, this has nothing to do with my family, don't drag them into this…"
Mountain Eagle pointed at those native friends digging in the snow, expressionless, and said, "What does the conflict between me and the Edward Foundation have to do with them?
My family and children are in the camp, will you spare them because of this?
Feel your chest and answer me honestly: if you were the victors, would you spare my family and children?
Now you've lost, and I demand you pay the same price as your mission, oh no, I'm far more lenient. At least I won't include the elderly, women, and children in the target list—I'm merely arranging a trip for them, for which I even need to spend a lot of money…
Look me in the eyes and tell me, am I excessive?"
The guy instinctively avoided Mountain Eagle's seemingly blazing eyes, lowered his head, and said, "We're just following orders!"
Mountain Eagle sneered and said, "You're not soldiers; you're just working for money. You've always had the right to choose.
When you stood with evil, you had to be prepared to pay the price!"
While saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at the silent Cohen, smiled, and said, "In the underworld, dues must be paid, don't you think?"
Cohen buried his burnt face in the snow beside him, but his eyes were fixed on Mountain Eagle, and in a voice like a chalkboard scraping against glass, he said deeply, "We're just small people; retaliating against people like us won't earn you much respect…"
Mountain Eagle was waiting for such a 'smart person,' so he smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I don't know many big figures in the Edward Foundation…
Ravinston, Kaufman, Talan, maybe add Karpin to the list. I only know a few families in the Edward Foundation, and the important targets I can find are very limited.
So I have no choice but to start with you…
I bet you know better than me that Chuck wouldn't waste any resources on you.
Like I said, I'm a forgiving person. From now on, for every piece of information or clue you provide about a big shot from the Edward Foundation, I can reduce your debt by 100,000 US Dollars...
Believe me, this is very important for you!
I'm not in a hurry; you can take your time to consider it. We have all the time we need!"
Cohen listened and said with a bitter smile, "Betraying them won't make any difference to us!"
Mountain Eagle took a deep breath, squatted beside Cohen, grabbed his hair to make him look into his eyes, and said with a menacing expression, "Do I look like someone easy to talk to?
You're afraid of them, but aren't you afraid of me?"
Seeing Cohen's face full of pain but his mouth tightly shut, Mountain Eagle released his hand, shook his head, and stood up. He said to Razer, "You stay and help Wayne send these people to the Brown Bear Camp, I need to head south...
The 48 hours Chuck mentioned was just a smoke bomb. I estimate they will advance the attack time.
The opponents have a lot of people. Without external containment, the pressure on the camp will be immense!
I'm planning to move the women and children to the lakeside camp. I need someone to protect them..."
Razer heard the term 'aerial bomb' and frowned at Mountain Eagle, saying, "You only have three people..."
Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "That's enough for me!"
After speaking, he waved at 'Sled' and Chakdi, then stood at the snowline and conversed with Wayne...
After receiving a positive response from Wayne, Mountain Eagle decisively led 'Sled' and Chakdi, along with Balang and several Magengxi Wolves, to the place where the snowmobiles were hidden...
While walking through the Snowy Mountain Forest, after Mountain Eagle ended his call with the camp, Chakdi walked up to him and said, "Boss, where are we going?"
Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "We're heading south. Killing a few people won't solve the problem. We need to find the opponent's command center.
If you were the opponent's commander, where would you place the command center?"
Chakdi shook his head and said, "Boss, I'm not familiar with the area..."
Next to them, 'Sled' grinned and said, "If it were me, I'd stay on a ship, or remain in Saint Mary's to remotely control those idiots to attack the camp..."
While walking, Mountain Eagle glanced at 'Sled' with some surprise and said, "You're right. So we head to Saint Mary's, located downstream of Marshall Town, and also the logistics hub for weapons provided by Vincent.
The infrastructure there is quite complete, with an airport and only 150 kilometers to the sea exit. Escape is very convenient, whether by air or water.
The Brown Bear Camp is located at the lower end vertex of the V-shaped river channel. Whether it's the Sinaloa side or the Edward Foundation side, the best launch points for an attack are the upstream Russian Mission and downstream Marshall Town.
Saint Mary's is located downstream of Marshall Town, making the distance and position very suitable. If it were me, I'd also place the command center there, facilitating radio communication."
Chakdi is not someone naturally curious, so after getting the answer he wanted, he began to travel silently...
But what Mountain Eagle didn't say was that the mimic bird reconnaissance network he set up had already intercepted the opponent's radio calls. Moreover, within 5 minutes after his call with Chuck, the radio signals within a 70-kilometer radius of the camp increased significantly.
The most frequent signals were at Saint Mary's...
This generational gap in signal reconnaissance advantage provided Mountain Eagle with unparalleled convenience and made him realize that the Edward Foundation had collaborated with the Sinaloa Group.
They will launch a dual land and water pincer attack on the Brown Bear Camp from three directions, with the reserved aerial bomb still hidden as an ace in the hole.
This group indeed holds Mountain Eagle in high regard, elevating his and his team's combat power to an absurd level...
But even exhausting their imagination, they still underestimated Mountain Eagle and his technological prowess.
The phone call was just to scare them out of hiding...
Mountain Eagle, although he lacked the capability to pinpoint their location via satellite phone, forced them to react.
If they proceeded with the plan, the location of Saint Mary's could remain hidden for some time.
However, once it started serving as the command center and began emitting radio signals outward, they could no longer stay hidden.
