Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 207 Chi Hu

Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Chi Hu

Mountain Eagle and his team spent nearly an hour organizing their equipment, and it was already two-thirty in the morning.

"Why hasn’t Bolonicov’s support arrived yet?"

Pigeon leaned against a tombstone, his eyes fixed on the binoculars, but there was still no movement on the road leading to Moscow.

Mountain Eagle, who had been resting his eyes while leaning against a cross, opened his eyes and said into the radio, "The later the enemy arrives, the more of them there will be.

Take a break for a while, let Mi Lu keep watch a bit. We need to keep our strength up."

Among them, Pigeon was relatively at ease, but he faced the greatest psychological pressure.

Under Mountain Eagle’s command, as a sniper, he didn’t need to move around much, but if he didn’t move, his gun barrel had to, otherwise he would lose his value.

This situation demanded a higher level of concentration and shooting skills from him, naturally bringing greater pressure.

In fact, Pigeon was very tired, but his excitement kept him from resting.

This was not the state of a veteran soldier, but as a ’cover’—and one particularly reminded by Butcher and the others to take good care of the boss—the anxiety that Pigeon felt was hard to share with others.

Mountain Eagle, subconsciously treating Butcher and his team as comrades from a ’game,’ could look after their physical condition but instinctively overlooked their mental stress.

As an old gun, Mi Lu could clearly perceive Pigeon’s condition. He said into the radio, "Pigeon, put down the binoculars. I can see much clearer from here.

Rest twenty minutes. If something comes up, I will notify you. Staring at a broken road is meaningless."

While Mi Lu spoke, Glasses beside him pushed his spectacles up and said with a lick of his lips, "Sir, why not let me take over surveillance? I have good eyesight and am full of energy.

The sniper you found really isn’t that great. I’m much stronger than him."

Mi Lu gave Glasses a disdainful glance and said, "Do you fucking know why those big companies don’t want you?"

Glasses adjusted his spectacles, somewhat unconcerned, "They say I have amblyopia, but so what? It doesn’t stop me from being the best sniper..."

Mi Lu forcefully pushed away Glasses who had leaned close and said, "Nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, amblyopia can be treated, but an incessant blabbermouth can affect your comrades.

In the past hour, you’ve probably talked more than Pigeon does in a whole year."

Hearing this, Glasses retorted nonchalantly, "My comrades don’t think so. It must be others who lack judgment, missing out on a sniper as strong as me."

Mi Lu was amused by Glasses’ response. He moved the binoculars to look in the direction of ’Gray Wolf’ and his team...

Ever since they knew they had been spotted, this group simply gave up hiding and began tracing the battlefield’s origin...

It’s unclear whether it was coincidence or Gray Wolf’s team was really that skilled, but after they found the ambush’s starting point, they almost stepped in Mountain Eagle’s footprints, checking the whole battlefield.

At this point, Mi Lu had to admit that they did have something...

Watching Gray Wolf sniffing around every cover Mountain Eagle had used, Mi Lu couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Glasses, where did Odin find this little wolf?"

It seemed Glasses didn’t mind disclosing their own personal details to Mi Lu, as he proudly said, "Our captain grew up as a hunter in Siberia. Legend has it he was raised by a wolf pack as a kid, so his sense of smell and sight are particularly sharp.

Once he remembers someone’s scent, no matter how they disguise themselves, they can’t escape his pursuit."

Mi Lu, hearing this, commented with disdain, "A police dog can do that job..."

Glasses pursed his lips and said, "Sir, you can call me trash, but you can’t insult my captain.

We are the super combat squad set to surpass Arctic Fox!"

Mi Lu found it annoying dealing with people or organizations who targeted Arctic Fox...

It was cool to be a target when he was younger, but as he got older, it began to cause problems for him and Arctic Fox.

He thumped Glasses on the head and growled, "What’s so great about Arctic Fox? Do you know how many people Arctic Fox has lost?

Can’t you learn something good?

Being a mercenary is for making money, and making money is the most important thing!"

Glasses naturally retorted, "Yeah, we’re making money. Lady Victoria is offering us a commission of 800,000 Euros this time...

But if we surpass Arctic Fox, Red Fox can make even more money—maybe next time for the same task, we could get a million Euros.

Sir, after the job’s done, could you write me a recommendation letter?

With your backing, our boss Odin is sure to agree to a raise and a higher share of profits..."

Mi Lu was both amused and exasperated by Glasses...

Odin from Red Fox Mercenary Corps was once a member of Arctic Fox but was kicked out after some incidents, and then he formed ’Red Fox Mercenary Corps.’

For eight years, Red Fox has been competing with Arctic Fox, but their relationship is quite delicate.

Whenever Arctic Fox had a skilled individual they couldn’t utilize, they would recommend them to Odin, essentially nurturing a strong rival for themselves.

The older members of both groups would curse each other when they met, but the younger ones showed great respect when they encountered their predecessors.

Those old-timers are more than happy to lend a helping hand to the younger generation!

The relationship is odd, but both sides have gotten used to it.

People have joked that Red Fox Mercenary Corps is the second team of Arctic Fox Mercenary Group, with instances of cross-team jumping occurring, but Odin never bothered to justify. Apart from refusing missions that directly compete with Arctic Fox, Odin was devoted to competing with them in every other aspect.

Competing for tasks, talents, market share...

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Odin tried, Red Fox was always lacking something...

The team’s cohesion dwindles as its members age, and their replacement rate is much higher than that of Arctic Fox, resulting in overall lesser strength.

There seemed to be something indefinable in the way, something that kept Odin from catching up with Arctic Fox, even though there were signs of decline in the latter in recent years.

Actually, old-timers like Mi Lu saw it clearly: what Red Fox lacked was not strength...

No other mercenary force in the world possessed a ’Blood Oath’ that they’d defend to the death like Arctic Fox.

Old guns like Blood Fox and Mi Lu had preserved the ’root’ of Arctic Fox, making the Arctic Fox Mercenary Group unique.

Every superpower has that diehard military spirit where, if even one person remains, they can raise the flag and make a blood-stained comeback.

Mercenaries generally lack a sense of honor, yet Blood Fox and others used the ’Blood Oath’ to forge Arctic Fox into a family worth giving everything for.

Though the ’Blood Oath’ is becoming a burden, potentially dragging Arctic Fox down, as long as it lasts for another day, Arctic Fox will not fall, and Red Fox will not win!

Mi Lu never saw Odin as an enemy, for they were once comrades who shared life and death!

Odin’s departure from Arctic Fox was not due to internal strife, speculated by outsiders...

But because Odin foresaw the issues that the ’Blood Oath’ would bring earlier than the others, he aimed to introduce a more modern management system but was collectively rejected by everyone.

So he set off on his own to create Red Fox, aiming to show the stubborn folk at Arctic Fox what reality looks like.

Unfortunately, after eight years, the so-called modern management mechanisms still haven’t overcome the strong bonds of camaraderie. Red Fox’s personnel turnover is continuous, their combat organization management strength improving, yet they’re always just short...

Seeing the spectacled man’s pathetic bootlicking expression, Mi Lu shook his head with a chuckle, returned his weapon to him, and said, "I am retired now, asking me for a recommendation letter is pointless...

There’s bound to be a tough fight tonight. If you put on a good performance, Odin will see it."

With that, Mi Lu pointed to the sky, smiling, "I hear that old man Odin spent a fortune on several drones; he should be able to see you..."

Just as the spectacled man was about to show off, Mi Lu suddenly pulled the trigger...

"Bang"

The bullet from the SVDK traveled nearly 700 meters, striking a black-clad man who was closing in on the helicopter, piercing his body and leaving a small hole on the helicopter door, causing the others who were at the factory office building rooftop to panic and retreat back to the stairwell.

Even as he talked to the spectacled man, Mi Lu’s eyes never left the scope...

After a successful shot, Mi Lu kicked the spectacled man and called out, "Your Barrett is handy; you’re in charge of taking out the helicopter..."

As he spoke, Mi Lu pressed his radio, "Mountain Eagle, Bolonicov is attempting to flee..."

Mountain Eagle was already tracking Bolonicov’s movements...

Through Crow, he could clearly watch the surroundings of the factory, noticing a team approaching from the woods on the north side of the factory a few minutes earlier.

At the same time, a convoy of vehicles had arrived on the road about ten kilometers from the factory, slowly making their way closer.

It didn’t make sense for such a massive reinforcement to suddenly attempt an escape.

This guy is tied to a deputy minister of the Russia Security Department; if he truly wanted to flee, he wouldn’t stay in Russia.

Even if he wanted to escape, his backers wouldn’t allow it!

Only with the combination of Bolonicov’s financial capacity and the power of his allies in the Security Department could they marshal enough resources to confront the sudden crisis provoked by Erin and Lady Victoria.

To those big shots, this is a political struggle, but for Bolonicov, on the frontline, it’s a war of life and death!

Only by eliminating all who attack him can he ensure his true safety!

Therefore, Mountain Eagle believes that Bolonicov does not want to flee but aims to lure those attacking him out so that the reinforcement can strike from both sides, wiping out the attackers in one fell swoop.

Watching Butcher and the others getting ready, Mountain Eagle said with a smile, "We’ve had enough of a break, let’s get moving...

There are some trying to ambush us from the north; let’s give them a surprise!

Leave the front to the bigger forces!"

Butcher, a bit concerned, replied, "Why?

Letting a large reinforcement into the factory, it would be hard for us to take it back later!"

Mountain Eagle stood up, adjusting his tactical vest, and said with a smile, "Why would we need to take it back..."
