Start inheriting a mercenary group

The night gradually faded away, and a faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon. In the temporary camp of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group, the atmosphere seemed a little tense and full of expectation.

After days of running around and fighting, the team members were exhausted, but at this moment there was an indescribable determination on their faces.

In the center of the camp, Lu Ting was standing on a slightly higher place, his eyes gazing into the distance through the morning mist.

His figure appeared exceptionally tall and firm in the morning light, like an unshakable mountain.

Just then, the sound of soft footsteps broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Lu Ting turned around and saw Princess Aretha walking slowly towards him. Although her face was still a little pale, her eyes no longer had the panic and anxiety she had before, but were replaced by a kind of determination and gratitude.

"Commander Lu, I wanted to come and personally thank you and your team."

Princess Aretha's voice was not loud, but it was clear and firm. "If it weren't for your bravery and loyalty, I'm afraid I would have already..."

She didn't continue, but her meaning was obvious. Lu Ting looked at her, with a warm light in his eyes.

He stepped forward and bowed his head slightly. "Your Highness, it is our duty to protect you. As long as we are alive, we will never let you come to any harm."

Princess Aretha shook her head gently: "No, Commander Lu, you have done too much. I originally thought that this was just a simple escort mission, but I didn't expect to put you in such a dangerous situation. I... I am really grateful to you."

Her voice was trembling, and her eyes were slightly red. Lu Ting looked at her, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

He knew that this mission was also a huge test for Princess Aretha, but she remained strong and brave.

Just then, other members of the camp also came over.

They gathered around Lu Ting and Princess Aretha, all with expressions of admiration and gratitude on their faces. They knew that the successful completion of this mission was inseparable from the efforts and contributions of everyone.

"Your Highness, we will definitely escort you back home safely."

Yuri's voice was firm and powerful. "No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter, we will move forward courageously and never back down."

"Yes! We will definitely get this done!" Others echoed in unison. Their voices were unified and powerful, like an unstoppable force.

Princess Aretha looked at them, with a gleam of crystal tears in her eyes.

"Thank you all," she said softly. "I will always remember your bravery and loyalty. May all of you be blessed."

The early morning sun shone into the camp, making everyone's figure look exceptionally tall and firm.

The atmosphere in the temporary camp of the Immortal Armed Mercenaries was tense and serious.

After experiencing a series of crises, the team members' nerves were on edge, and everyone knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult.

Lu Ting stood in front of the map, frowning. He traced the routes on the map with his fingers, then rejected them one by one.

He knew that the enemy's cunning and strength should not be underestimated, and if he was not careful, he might end up in an irretrievable situation.

"We can no longer proceed according to the original plan." Lu Ting said in a deep voice, "The enemy has already mastered our patterns of action. We must change our strategy."

"Then what should we do?" Soap couldn't help but ask, "We can't just wait here to die, right?"

"Of course not." Lu Ting's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "We want to confuse the enemy and make them unable to figure out our true intentions."

He pointed to a point on the map and said, "There is an abandoned mine here. We can use this place to set a trap. Then we can deliberately release false information to make the enemy think we will pass by here."

"In this way, the enemy may set an ambush here." Yuri took over the conversation, "and we can make a detour from another direction and catch them off guard."

"That's right." Lu Ting nodded in agreement, "This is our new plan. However, this is only the first step. We also need to consider how to transfer quickly to ensure the princess's safety."

At this point, he looked at Princess Aretha who was standing beside him. The princess was looking at him solemnly, and it was obvious that she also knew how difficult the road ahead would be.

"Don't worry, Princess." Lu Ting said, "We will do our best to protect your safety."

Princess Aretha smiled and said, "I believe in you. From the beginning, I have never doubted your courage and loyalty. I believe that under your protection, I will be able to return to my homeland safely."

After hearing the princess' words, the morale of the team members suddenly rose. They knew how heavy the burden on their shoulders was.

In the following time, Lu Ting explained the new plan to the team members in detail.

Everyone listened carefully, afraid of missing any details. They knew that every step was crucial and any mistake could lead to failure.

The night was as dark as ink, but the camp of the Immortal Armed Mercenaries was a busy scene.

Lu Ting stood in front of the map, his fingers hovering over several routes, his brows furrowed.

"Are you all ready?" Lu Ting asked, looking up, his eyes sweeping over the faces of Songao, Yuri, Xiaoqiang and others.

"We're ready, boss!" everyone answered in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

Lu Ting nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that these men were his most capable men, and no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would move forward bravely and never back down.

"Okay, let's start." Lu Ting said in a low voice, with a gleam in his eyes.

Following Lu Ting's order, the members of the mercenary group quickly took action.

They divided into several groups, quietly left the camp and headed in different directions. Their mission was clear: to release false intelligence and confuse the enemy.

The team led by Soap was responsible for leaving obvious traces on the enemy's route, making the enemy mistakenly believe that they were going to pass there.

Yuri and Xiaoqiang were responsible for creating some noise and fire nearby to attract the enemy's attention.

Other teams set up fake camps and fake targets in different locations to further confuse the enemy.

Everything went smoothly. The enemy was misled by the false information and started to pursue in the wrong direction.

They sent out a large number of scouts and search teams to try to find the mercenary group's trace, but they found nothing.

At the same time, Princess Aretha and a few elite members quietly bypassed the enemy's encirclement and moved quickly in another direction.

They used the cover of night and terrain to avoid multiple searches and ambushes by the enemy along the way. As night fell, in a dense forest, the members of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group quietly ambushed around the preset trap.

Their faces were painted with camouflage, their hands were tightly grasped with weapons, and their eyes were firm and sharp.

Lu Ting stood next to a big tree, observing the movements ahead through night vision goggles.

He knew that the enemy had been deceived by their false intelligence and was heading for the wrong place. He sneered in his heart, and this time he would make sure that the enemy would not return.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps was heard. Lu Ting immediately raised his head vigilantly and signaled his men to get ready.

Soon, a group of enemies dressed in black appeared in their sight. They advanced cautiously and had obviously fallen into the trap of the mercenaries.

"Here we come, everyone get ready!" Lu Ting ordered in a low voice.

Following his order, his men entered combat mode. They held their breath, waiting for the best time to attack. The enemy continued to advance without noticing, getting closer to the trap step by step.

Finally, when the enemy stepped into the trap, Lu Ting waved his hands and shouted, "Fire!"

Suddenly, dense gunfire rang out in the night sky, and the men fired fiercely at the enemy from all directions. The enemy was caught off guard by this sudden attack and fell to the ground one after another.

"Ah! There's an ambush!" an enemy shouted in horror, but before he could finish his words, he was hit in the head by a bullet and fell to the ground dead instantly.

The ambush went very smoothly, and the Immortal Armed Mercenaries quickly wiped out the enemy with their accurate shooting and tacit cooperation, leaving only a mess and the enemy's corpses at the scene.

After the battle, Lu Ting led his men out of the dense forest. Looking at the enemy corpses all over the ground, he nodded with satisfaction.

The success of this trap caused heavy losses to the enemy and completely ineffective their intelligence system.

"Boss, we did a great job this time!" Soap patted Lu Ting's shoulder excitedly.

"Yes, thanks to everyone's efforts." Lu Ting responded with a smile, "But this is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go."

At the same time, at another location not far away, Carson and members of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group were anxiously waiting for news.

They originally thought that they could capture the main force of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly they fell into the opponent's trap.

"How could this happen? Our intelligence clearly shows that they are here!" Carson said angrily, slamming the table.

"Captain, it seems our intelligence is wrong." Peter said in a deep voice, "The Immortal Armed Mercenary Group deliberately released false information to confuse us."

Carson was terribly silent with a gloomy face. He knew how much of a blow the failure of this operation was to them.

Not only did they lose a large amount of manpower and resources, but their reputation was also seriously damaged.

"We must re-evaluate the strength of the Immortal Armed Mercenaries." Carson took a deep breath and said, "They are obviously much more difficult to deal with than we thought."

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were sparse. In the camp of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group, Lu Ting was urgently summoning his men, preparing to quickly transfer Princess Aretha while the enemy was in chaos.

Everyone's face was filled with seriousness and tension. They knew that the next action was crucial and any mistake could lead to failure.

"Ghost, take the princess ahead and head to the designated location."

Lu Ting ordered in a deep voice, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness. The ghost nodded, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the night soon.

Lu Ting turned to look at the rest of the team members: "The enemy must be in a mess now, this is the best time for us to move. Soap, Yuri, you will be responsible for covering the rear and make sure no one follows."

"Understood!" Soap and Yuri responded in unison, with fighting spirit gleaming in their eyes.

The rest of the team members also took orders and acted quickly. With clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, they soon put the camp in good order.

After everything was ready, Lu Ting gave an order and everyone shot into the depths of the night like arrows.

They first rode in several jeeps disguised as civilian vehicles and bumped along the rugged mountain road.

In order to ensure that his whereabouts were difficult to track, Lu Ting specially arranged several alternative routes and transfer points.

Every time they passed a transfer point, they would quickly change vehicles and drivers, making it impossible for the enemy to track their whereabouts.

In this way, under the cover of night, they moved all the way and successfully shook off the enemy's pursuit.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the clouds onto the earth, they had safely arrived at the designated location - a hidden mountain villa near the border.

The owner of the villa was an old friend of Lu Ting, and he had already prepared sufficient supplies and a safe hiding place for them.

Seeing Princess Aretha walk into the villa safely, Lu Ting finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have frightened you." Lu Ting bowed slightly to express his apology.

Princess Aretha shook her head slightly. "No, I should thank you. If you hadn't risked your lives to protect me, I would have fallen into the hands of the enemy long ago."

Lu Ting smiled slightly: "It is our duty to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess. As long as you are safe, we will be relieved."

At this time, Ghost also came back with the intelligence he had gathered along the way and reported: "Boss, we didn't find any suspicious signs along the way. We should have successfully escaped the enemy's pursuit."

Lu Ting nodded: "Very good, everyone has worked hard. Let's rest here for a while and continue on after dark."

After hearing this, everyone dispersed and started to get busy. Some went to check vehicles and weapons and equipment, some went to prepare food and water, and some went to patrol and stand guard.

The entire villa suddenly became lively, as if it was a temporary military base.

The night was as dark as ink, and thick clouds completely obscured the stars and the moon, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

In a gloomy old castle, the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries, a man known as the "Black Godfather", was sitting in the middle of the lobby, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

"Report to the commander, our plan has failed." A subordinate reported tremblingly.

"The Immortal Armed Mercenaries were too cunning. They deliberately released false information to confuse us and set traps in the wrong places. We suffered heavy losses, and many people..."

"That's enough!" The Black Godfather slammed the table, interrupting his subordinate's report. (End of this chapter)
