Chapter 392: Tens of thousands of dollars a month, what’s the point of playing with your life?
“I hit it!!”

Along with the explosion, a voice full of surprise suddenly sounded in the communication channel.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the explosion. At just one glance, they saw a striking cloud of smoke in the narrow mountain.

There is no doubt that it was the Judge Drone that had just been blown up!

The Judge is equipped with dozens of kilograms of blue explosives. Once the blue explosives are detonated, the explosive power is no weaker than that of a heavy bomb!

The earth-shaking roar just now is the best proof!

Also proving its power is the ground that looks like the result of a storm.

In order to reduce the possibility of being discovered and targeted as much as possible, these judges flew at extremely low altitudes, basically less than 50 meters above the ground.

Therefore, the explosion just now completely cleared away the few remaining vegetation on the ground!

After the shock wave, all that was left was a pile of scattered vegetation and rocks; all life was wiped out!

Seeing this scene, all the coalition pilots couldn't help swallowing.

They simply couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if they were attacked by these drones on the ground.

Anyone who gets hit will be covered in bruises, or at least in pieces!
There can be no second possibility!
"We must not let these drones pass!"

After the shock, the commander of Black and White Eagle Village gritted his teeth and spoke again: "Everyone, continue! Shoot down these damn drones no matter what means!"

Originally, the commander of the Black and White Eagle had already thought of refusing, as the radar could not detect it.

Machine gun interception is too dangerous. If they are not careful, they may come into zero-distance or even negative-distance contact with the ground. In this case, how could he not be afraid?
After all, as an ace pilot and concurrently a wing commander, he only earns a few hundred thousand dollars a month. Why would he risk his life?

If it were a year ago, a salary of more than 100,000 dollars a month would be fine.

But now, even though the Black and White Eagle Village has been trying its best to maintain itself, the green currency is still depreciating every day!
The purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of dollars today is not even as good as tens of thousands of dollars a year ago!

Just tens of thousands of dollars a month, why bother?

But now, even if he doesn't want to risk his life, he has to do it.

If the terrifying power of these drones really reaches the headquarters, causing damage to the headquarters, or even destroys their headquarters, then those who are originally responsible for vigilance, especially him as the commander, will inevitably be blamed!
By then, even if the other pilots were fine, even if it was to shirk responsibility and find a scapegoat, he, the commander, would definitely not be able to escape!
Even if they ran out of ammunition, it would be impossible to intercept all of these thousands of drones.

But as long as he tried his best, even if those gentlemen sitting in the office tried to shirk their responsibilities, he could still escape death, or even find a way to get rid of the responsibility.

After hearing the order from the Black and White Eagle commander, the other pilots from the Black and White Eagle village, as well as the pilots from the Bang village and the Dongying village, had to follow the order even though they were reluctant.

They also know the danger, but the existence of the Inquisition is the sword of Damocles hanging around the necks of all of them!
If they are afraid of fighting, they will suffer the consequences when they return!

As for escaping, forget it. The fundamental reason why they are mixed is that the Black and White Eagle Village is afraid that some of them want to escape or something.

The Black and White Eagle Village had issued an order before that once an escapee was found, not only the supervisory team had the right to enforce battlefield discipline on the spot, but other people could do the same.

Even if anyone captures or kills a deserter, they will be rewarded by the Black and White Eagle Village when they return!

The more important the person, the higher the reward.

Even a lowest-level ground soldier can get a reward of one hundred thousand dollars!
If it is an important person like a pilot, the reward for killing him is at least half a million dollars, and if you can capture him alive, it will be at least two million dollars!

In this situation, who dares to run?
In fact, if they were not mixed together and were not keeping an eye on each other, I'm afraid someone would want to kill someone and take credit for it!

Of course, in addition to punishment, the Black and White Eagle Village also offered very generous rewards, or bounties.

Killing an ordinary enemy on the battlefield will earn you a reward of one thousand dollars!

The minimum reward for killing an officer or an armored vehicle is $10,000, and the reward for destroying a tank or other heavy equipment starts at $50,000.

Shooting down a drone like the Judge will earn you a reward of $30,000!

If you can destroy a Camel's Tianlong or Yinglong fighter, or kill a Camel pilot, the reward will be at least five million dollars!

This reward can be claimed by anyone, no matter if you are a soldier from the Black and White Eagle Village, or a servant cannon fodder from the Japanese Village, the Stick Village, or the Maple Leaf, Kangaroo and other villages!

Not only can it be obtained in the Black and White Eagle Village, but also in the Squid Village!

In other words, this bounty was originally offered by the Squid Tribe!
In the past, more than one coalition cannon fodder has received these rewards from Squid.

And this is also one of the sources of action for the cannon fodder servants!

The black and white eagles and the squids play this out clearly.

With this kind of reward, not only the cannon fodders who were recruited, but even some mercenaries who lived on the edge of death joined the desert battlefield.

One ordinary camel militiaman is worth a thousand knives, ten are worth ten thousand, a hundred are worth a hundred thousand, and a thousand are worth a million.

Which mercenary can refuse such a benefit?

Of course, mercenaries are not fools. They will not come to the front battlefield to fight with camels, so they basically wander around the edge of the battlefield or the side battlefield of the transportation line.

They even went directly to some remote villages to kill innocent people and claim credit for their achievements!
Use the lives of ordinary villagers to collect rewards from the squids.

The squids may not know, or may tacitly agree, and want to get rid of all the camels. Therefore, even if these mercenaries want to exchange ordinary people's lives for the bounty, they will still give it!
What the squids lack the least is money, and what they want most is the camels’ lives!
In order to achieve their goal, the squids have stopped at nothing!

The result of doing this is that any mercenary who is discovered in the desert will inevitably be strangled by camels on a large scale!

Once they are captured alive, what awaits them is only a life worse than death!
Same thing with squid.

The squids are issuing bounties around the world, so how can the camels just sit back and watch?

Squids have no shortage of money, and camels have even less!
Although due to human nature and the desire to obtain more assistance from the world, Camel could not offer a reward for ordinary people as shamelessly as Squid due to its reputation, but Camel also offered a reward for those mercenaries. Any mercenary who entered the desert, as long as he was caught, even if it was a corpse, would receive a minimum bounty of two million dollars!
If you capture one alive, the minimum reward is five million dollars!

Even if you just provide information, there is a reward of at least half a million dollars!
It can be said that both sides are now really angry and are in a state of fighting to the death!
Da da da! ! !
High in the sky, the sound of machine guns and the whistling of fighter planes tearing through the air rang out one after another!

Buzz! !

In the valley, thousands of judges were still following the predetermined route, paying no attention to the fighter planes whizzing overhead, and rushing madly towards the predetermined target.

Despite being intercepted by countless machine gun shells and missiles, the Judge was ultimately unable to completely escape unscathed.

One after another, Judges exploded at low altitudes.

Deafening explosions continued to sound in the mountains. For a moment, the entire mountain area turned into a Shura field.

However, even though the Judges were blown up one after another, those that were blown up were only a small part of the Judge fleet. "Commander, my fighter plane is out of ammunition!"

Just over ten minutes later, a voice was heard directly on the public channel.

Before the Black Hawk commander could respond, another voice rang out: "Commander, me too. My melee and cannon shells are all exhausted, and my fuel is only 30% left. Request to return!"

"Me too, I've run out of ammunition, requesting to return!"

"...Request to return!"

"..."

Like a chain reaction, the sounds rang out one after another.

Although fighter jets have far more machine gun shells than missiles, each fighter jet can only carry a few hundred shells at most.

Even with short bursts of fire, such a small number of shells would not last long.

If you hold down the fire button, all the shells can be used up in less than a minute!

And now, after more than ten minutes of interception, all the fighter planes' shells and missiles have been used up one after another!

"Damn it!"

Listening to the sounds ringing in his ears, and looking at the still densely packed Judge fleet, which seemed to have not decreased much at all, the Black and White Hawk commander's face turned grim.

In the past period of time, they shot down at least hundreds of Judges.

Although they could not lock onto the target, the Judges were all flying in the mountains, and their routes were very stable. With so many Judges, they could hit quite a few by sheer luck. In addition to their machine guns and missile interceptions, some of them were intercepted by self-injury from the Judges who exploded after being hit by machine guns. This also resulted in their hit rate being impressive, but the number of interceptions was not small...

However, a few hundred Inquisitors are completely insignificant to the fleet of thousands of Inquisitors!

"Command Center! This is the 117th Squadron. We have destroyed or damaged more than a thousand Judgement drones. We have run out of ammunition and are no longer able to carry out interception missions. Please return!"

After a long time, although he was unwilling, the commander of Black and White Eagle Village had to contact the command center again and apply for return.

However, during the report, the number of hundreds of Judges turned into more than a thousand...

……

"Sir, the 117th Squadron sent a message that their ammunition has been exhausted and they are requesting to return..."

At the coalition command center, the Black and White Hawk commander heard the news from the 117th Wing and immediately reported it to Steve.

"What were the results?" Steve did not respond to the matter of returning home, but asked directly.

"According to Henry's report, they destroyed more than a thousand enemy judges..." said the commander of the Black and White Eagle.

"More than a thousand? How many Camel Judges are there?" Steve asked again.

"According to the report, the number of Judgement aircraft within the observation range of the 117th Squadron is no less than three thousand!" said the commander of the Black and White Hawk.

After a pause, the commander of the Black and White Eagle continued, "Sir, according to the news from Henry and the First and Second Lines of Defense, the power of these Judges after being hit and self-destructing is greater than that of our 1,000-kilogram heavy bombs!"

"The facts show that these Inquisitors are all loaded with the same blue explosives as those in Dragon Village, and they are all fully loaded. If these drones hit our headquarters or other places, our losses will be extremely heavy. I suggest dispatching the Raptor Squadron to participate in the defense..."

Hearing this, Steve frowned slightly.

Then he said directly: "No, the Raptor Squadron needs to keep an eye on the Camel's fighter planes!"

Compared to the Judge, Steve pays more attention to Camel's Tianlong and Yinglong fighters.

Although the Judge is extremely powerful, he has made full preparations this time.

He firmly believed that these thousands of Inquisitors could not break his air defense circle.

But Tianlong and Yinglong are different. Both Tianlong and Yinglong fighters are equipped with advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles.

Moreover, they are all hypersonic missiles, and they have no ability to intercept them at all.

Once the other party gets close to them, they are almost certain to be attacked!
Although they have not found Camel’s fighter jets yet, who can guarantee that Camel’s fighter jets are not there?
It’s just like the judges now. These judges have already flown over their heads, and they only then realized the existence of the judges!

In addition to guarding against Camel's Tianlong and Yinglong fighter jets, the Raptor also has another mission, which is to prevent Camel's possible attacks on the Husky Village!

Husky Village is now their rear base, especially the airports in Husky Village. If they are attacked, their retreat will be cut off!

By then they will lose air superiority again, and the cost of losing air superiority will be more serious than being attacked here!

If they are not careful, their [Noah's Ark] operation this time may fail again like the last [April Fool's Night]!

He is not able to bear such a responsibility!

Without waiting for his men to respond, Steve said directly: "Order all units to prepare for air defense. Make sure to intercept all Judges outside the defense circle. Don't let even a single Judge fall on our position!"

……

Buzz buzz buzz! ! A distance of tens of kilometers is not far.

It took less than half an hour to travel from the No. 1 and No. 2 defense lines to the coalition command center in the rear, and the Judge, at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour, arrived directly there.

"coming!!"

"Everyone prepare!"

Hearing the buzzing sound coming from beyond visual distance, all members of the coalition forces were on edge.

Countless gun muzzles were pointed directly at the sky where the Judge was coming from.

Not long after, amid the shrill sound of propellers, densely packed Judge drones appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Fire!!"

The moment their eyes fell on the Judge, the Allied commanders immediately issued attack orders!
The next moment, under the control of the coalition soldiers, Vulcan cannons, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, light and heavy machine guns, and assault rifles all opened fire at full power!

Countless bullets and artillery shells were fired towards the Judge drone fleet like a storm!

The dense barrage of comments almost covered the entire sky!
