Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Mountain Eagle was held firmly in the back by several old men and was now sitting in a command vehicle converted from a van, watching the screen in front of him display images of the substitute base.

Odin of the Red Fox Mercenary Group sat beside him and said with a hint of pride, "Mountain Eagle, the drones you provided are very effective. My men have made some modifications to the drones, and now they can not only conduct reconnaissance, but also carry about 500 grams of explosives to attack the ground."

Compared to those expensive suicide drones, this approach better suits our needs!

Mountain Eagle sat in a corner, holding a cup of coffee, watching several Red Fox technicians constantly relaying the enemy's location to the team at the front via radio.

This time, all teams were mobilized, determined to eradicate the substitute and capture the Angel of Death alive.

Kobe assigned all the field agents of the refugee group to the front line. They would be responsible for blocking the main road in front of the base of the dead and abandoning the slow advance to put pressure on the enemy.

Meanwhile, the Signal Flag, Rangers, Seals, Grail Knights, and Grey Wolves will launch attacks from multiple directions simultaneously from the depths of the mountains and forests.

After two days of reconnaissance, the situation at the substitute base has been basically figured out. There are 150 people stationed at the base, including more than 90 armed personnel, and the rest are mostly women and children.

The enemy certainly has the advantage in numbers, but the scapegoats are never known for their elite troops. When the refugee group cuts off the surrounding signals, and our side has an aerial view and cover, the defensive positions set up by the scapegoats become meaningless.

Just as several teams were slowly approaching the scapegoat base under the cover of night, a truck drove out from inside the base and, just as the refugee group was about to block the road, it missed them at a fork in the road.

Hearing Kobe's anxious call for the field team to stop the truck over the radio, Mountain Eagle heard a few crisp knocks in his headset, and then he said, "Kobe, you guys carry on, I'll handle the truck."

Since I can't go into battle anyway, and Odin is directing things on-site, I'll just do the easy work.

Kobe hesitated for a moment on the other end of the radio before saying, "Mountain Eagle, keep them alive!"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a serial killer. I still have many empty rooms in my maritime prison in El Salvador. As long as you're willing to pay, I don't mind sending them all there."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle greeted Odin, then handed over command of his men to the leader of Red Fox via radio, before stepping out of the command vehicle under Odin's meaningful gaze...

The command vehicle was located at a roadside rest area about 5 kilometers away from the surrogate base. The rest area was now cordoned off with yellow police tape, and the people inside the gas station and convenience store were also taken into custody.

Mountain Eagle walked over to a Ford pickup truck, ignoring the displeased Tiffany and Lilith. He peered into the truck bed, then smiled at Donkey, who was activating the switchblade launcher, and said, "Ready?"

The donkey connected the two wires in his hand, then nodded seriously and said, "Boss, 60 spring knives and 600 can be launched into the air at any time to cover our men."

Mountain Eagle smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good. You and Sea Lion stay here to provide cover..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle rolled his eyes at Tiffany beside him and said disdainfully, "Go get the car, we have work to do..."

Tiffany paused for a moment, then said excitedly, "Are we going up the mountain?"

Mountain Eagle didn't want to explain too much. He waved his hand and said, "Go pick a low-key car. We have some work to do."

Tiffany, looking suspicious, drove up in a Chevrolet Malibu and, after picking up Lilith and Mountain Eagle, drove onto the highway. She asked curiously, "Where are we going?" Mountain Eagle shared Raven's perspective with Tiffany and said, "Follow this truck, but don't let him spot us."

Finally having something to do, Tiffany perked up. She stepped on the gas and cut in front of the truck just before it turned from the mountain road onto the main road.

The advantage of having aerial vision comes in handy here; you don't necessarily have to track them, and you can keep a close eye on them even if you get ahead of them.

The roads around Ottawa are sparsely populated at night. When the truck turned into a warehouse area, Tiffany slowed down, made a U-turn, turned off the lights, and slowly drove into the storage area, stopping next to a large truck in the parking lot.

The truck that had been following them drove into a logistics warehouse, and a dozen minutes later, a truck fully loaded with goods drove out of the warehouse.

The crow's view was limited by the warehouse, preventing it from seeing what was inside. Seeing this, Tiffany said anxiously, "Boss, we need to go in and check. If they change cars, then we..."

Mountain Eagle waved his hand without speaking. Just as Tiffany was about to say something more, there was a knocking sound on the car window next to her...

When Tiffany looked over, she saw Razer parked to her side, gesturing for her to roll down the window.

Tiffany realized she wasn't the only one following the truck. She glared at her silent boss, then rolled down the window and looked at Razer, this smelly old man, and said irritably, "Where are the others?"

Razer grinned and said, "Of course, it's in the warehouse. The guy we're tracking is very cunning. The truck that just left was just a decoy; more cars will be coming out soon."

Razer glanced at Tiffany and Lilith and said with a smile, "Tiffany, test yourself and try to figure out which car the target is in."

If you follow the wrong team, you won't be part of tonight's operation.

Upon hearing this, Tiffany immediately felt immense pressure. Just as she was about to push open the door and get out of the car, Mountain Eagle, who had been sitting in the back seat with his arms crossed, shook his head and said, "Are you stupid? This old guy is distracting you. Keep an eye on the warehouse exit; the target is about to come out."

Tiffany suddenly realized and said, "You old guys want to ditch us and do it yourselves? Who exactly are we tracking?"

Razer did not answer Tiffany's question, but turned and retreated into the darkness beside her, quickly disappearing among the cars.

Mountain Eagle sensed Tiffany's anxiety, sighed, and said, "We're tracking Miranda and her child..."

Blood Fox had locked onto Miranda yesterday, so today she deliberately warned her, making her realize the danger and forcing her to abandon her role as a distraction for the deceased so she could find a way to escape.

Upon hearing this, Tiffany asked curiously, "How did Blood Fox do that?"

Mountain Eagle pushed her face to look ahead and said, "Because the scapegoat has been monitoring the police radio and has close ties with someone in the Ottawa Police Department."

When you have access to the resources of a mega-organization with an annual budget of $1030 billion, these things are easy to uncover.

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle noticed the displeasure in Tiffany's expression. He smiled and said, "They don't mean to look down on you. The reason they don't want you to go is because Miranda is planning to take the children to meet with the Angel of Death. There might be some scenes that you can't accept..." (End of Chapter)
