Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 755 Enemy Reinforcements

Winter nights in Alaska can be tough, because if you're stuck in a small house for too long, the nights can feel incredibly long.

Mountain Eagle doesn't have this problem because there are many things he can't get help from others, so he wants to install defensive measures in the most critical areas for him, and many things require him to do them personally.

Leaving switchblade and spear missile launchers in Wayne's tribe was simple, but climbing up the mountain to set up a small power generator, installing batteries, setting up a small radar, and then deploying switchblades, spear missiles, and a quadruple Stinger missile launcher took him most of the night.

Sled and Chakdi are two uncurious people. When the mountain eagle asks them to help carry things up the mountain, they will carry things. When asked to do part-time work as bricklayers, they will use the super glue brought by the boss to fill the gaps between the rocks and fix things like oil tanks, radar, and transmitter boxes.

Chakdi had always been engaged in high-intensity labor, but this whole day still left him feeling immense pressure.

If it weren't for the flexible exoskeleton that the Mountain Eagles specially designed for him, Chakdy would find it hard to imagine how he could have survived.

After a long-distance motorcycle journey of nearly 50 kilometers, followed by a strenuous mountain climb with heavy loads, and then nearly 4 hours of work at the summit in sub-zero temperatures.

By the time Chakdi took his first bite of noodles, there were only three hours left until dawn.

After finishing his meal, he crawled into his tent, where he cuddled a rather unruly Magenshe wolf and fell asleep within ten seconds...

The warmth inside the cave, along with the body heat of the Magengshe wolves, made Chakdi feel very comfortable. In his dreams, he praised his boss for his wisdom in taking these Magengshe wolves on the journey.

With Baron and four lush-furred Magnesha wolves, even if there wasn't time to build a shelter at night, having these creatures, already as big as black-backed wolves, leaning against him could serve as a kind of warm, windproof wall.

Compared to others who fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow, the mountain eagle has much more energy...

After finishing his meager late-night snack, he sat down by the fire and began testing the equipment installed that day using his tactical computer.

With crows acting as signal relays, the active equipment placed in the Huaien tribe and on the mountaintop quickly integrated into the tactical system, and the radar began to function normally.

The mountain peaks above the valley are only a few hundred meters high, but they are already the highest points in the vicinity...

The moment the radar started operating, an airspace with a radius of 80 kilometers and some unobstructed ground were included in the detection range.

Because it is a phased array radar, the theoretical detection range should be 200-300 kilometers, but due to limitations in radar size, power and terrain, 80 kilometers is the limit.

Within this range, most small stealth equipment, such as the Switchblade 300 multi-functional drone, would certainly be unable to evade radar detection.

The automatic radar produced by this sergeant major system, if its power were reduced further, could serve as a tool for managing ranches in an economical manner.

Using phased array radar to herd cattle is a bit of an exaggeration, but the reality is that this thing can effectively track cattle on ranches, saving cowboys a lot of effort.

Mountain Eagle needed to adjust the equipment because there were so many animals around the valley. He needed to carefully compare them with crows and then have the radar record the signal characteristics of those animals. Otherwise, under such high sensitivity, just hearing the warnings would drive him crazy.

Fortunately, the intelligent tactical computer produced by the Master Sergeant System is very powerful. It can not only assist the Mountain Eagle in completing this tedious task, but also learn by analogy and quickly sort out the physical and behavioral characteristics of those animals. It can even classify them on the radar display and mark them with numbers.

The valley is home to 8 moose, 546 reindeer, 47 musk oxen, 5 bison, 12 gray wolves, 3 foxes, and the rest, smaller animals, were simply ignored...

Beyond the valley, in a much larger area, even more animals lurk, though most are small creatures like snow hares, grouse, and mice...

Once you ignore all the smaller creatures and remove the large mammals whose characteristics have already been recorded, what's left is that group of people...

The mountain eagle located the other party's position using radar, then switched to the perspective of the peregrine falcon it was monitoring to compare and confirm it was them. Then, the mountain eagle was surprised to find...

This group of people traveled nearly 15 kilometers in one day without the assistance of mechanical vehicles, in a temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius.

In Alaska, the days are only 8 to 9 hours long in winter. It's quite impressive that this group of people could maintain a pace of 2 kilometers per hour while carrying so much equipment in the snow.

The two sides are now nearly 18 kilometers apart in a straight line. If the other side's goal is harassment, then by tomorrow afternoon they will be able to bring the valley ranch into the attack range of their switchblade 300s.

Just as the Mountain Eagles were planning tomorrow's attack, the radar suddenly sounded an alarm...

The Cenas transport plane that had appeared that day entered the radar's detection range. At the same time, from the Peregrine Falcon's perspective, the guys who were resting huddled in the snow cave suddenly woke up. One of them took out a satellite phone, walked out of the snow cave, looked at the dark sky, and then stuck a few lit incendiary sticks into the ground.

This sudden situation jolted the mountain eagle awake, prompting the peregrine falcon perched on a branch to take flight and circle overhead...

A dozen or so parachutes unfurled near the area where the incendiary rods had been lit, and the peregrine falcon easily spotted the parachutes and the people and objects on them...

There were twelve fully armed soldiers and two parachutes carrying several large boxes.

Blindly jumping into a snow-covered area filled with trees and bushes on such a cold night is a huge challenge for anyone... Because they are using military parachutes, which are not the same type as civilian paragliders, the paratroopers spend a very short time in the air...

This is also for the safety of the paratroopers!

Since soldiers have no protective capabilities in mid-air, reaching the ground quickly is the right choice.

However, this means that if a paratrooper makes a mistake or flies to the wrong place, they could lose their life.

The winds of the Alaskan snowfields taught these people a profound lesson...

While they were still in the air, a gust of cold wind blew the parachutists to pieces. Only six of them landed near the first group of arriving soldiers, while the others, along with two groups of parachutes carrying equipment, were blown into a sparse pine forest.

This kind of irrational behavior is completely illogical, and Mountain Eagle doesn't understand why these people are doing this.

However, the peregrine falcon quickly detected the radio signal...

The soldiers who were resting all emerged from the snow cave, broke the radio silence, and made contact with the newcomers...

"This is the Cod Squad, and I'm Captain Cod Number One..."

"Cod One, this is Cohen, the number one member of the Chimera Squad. Please help! My people and equipment have been blown into the woods, and I need to get them out as soon as possible..."

"God help us to avoid any accidental injuries or deaths, otherwise our mission progress will be slowed down..."

Codfish One: "Cohen? Your destination should be further south, why did you come here?"
We can enter the strike zone tomorrow, and as soon as the orders from the rear arrive, we can bomb Indian villages and their ranches, and mobilize the people in the brown bear camp.

There's not much point in you coming here..."

Cohen paused for a few seconds, then said, "We received intelligence that the Fairbanks base will be investigated by the police at dawn."

Colonel Chuck had to force us to take off urgently to deal with the police.

As he spoke, Cohen seemed to sense the uncertainty surrounding Cod One, and he coughed and said, "Commander Chuck has received intelligence that there will be other groups attacking the Brown Bear camp from the south and downstream waterways."

They will arrive at the nearest Indian village to the brown bear camp in two days and rest there.

They are expected to arrive at the opposite bank of the brown bear camp in four days, at which time our fleet will be upstream to cooperate with their attack.

Commander Chuck ordered us to come and support you, and instructed us to quickly infiltrate between the Brown Bear Camp and the Indian village, use the tactic of besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements to wipe out some of their manpower, and then use switchblades to bombard the Brown Bear Camp to prevent the people inside from breaking out from the north.

God protect my people from harm, and may those switchblades not break...

"Damn, I hate this environment! When I trained in Norway, it wasn't this cold!"

………………

Mountain Eagle intercepted the other party's radio communications. He quickly opened the map and zoomed in on the southern wetland terrain and village distribution map...

The nearest Native American village to the south of the camp is located on the left bank of the Kascoquim River, which runs almost parallel to the Yukon River, but its flow rate is nowhere near that of the Yukon. Meanwhile, its estuary is in southwestern Alaska, and one of the Arctic Fox's training bases is located in Bessel, next to that estuary.

The fact that the enemy chose that location as their destination indicates that not all of them landed at Azkanak, the mouth of the Yukon River in the west; they chose to split their forces into two groups…

At this time, the Kaskokuim River was frozen over, and as long as there were snowmobiles and sleds, people could travel up the river to the indigenous village, which was 40 kilometers away from the brown bear camp in the wetlands.

In fact, Mountain Eagle was wrong; General Sid had arranged three groups of men...

Their main force landed at Azkanak in the west, where they took boats to St. Marys upstream, where they obtained the equipment and supplies prepared by Vincent. They then split into two groups: one group traveled upstream by water, while the other group rode snowmobiles into the wetlands, preparing to strike directly across the river from the brown bear camp.

Upstream along the Kaskokwim River, which flows southwest to the sea, is an elite squad. Their objective is the same as that of the Demon Group: to attempt to attack the natives, draw the brown bear camp away, and use the native villages as a base to attack the Russian town of Mishin, northeast of the brown bear camp.

That area is a vast expanse of wetland tundra, with no complex terrain to hinder the attack. If the enemy has snowmobiles, they can reach the other side of the Russian town of Mishin in about 3 hours and wait for the night to launch their attack.

Mountain Eagle was unaware of the enemy's plans, but he was very clear about his own role and mission...

Eliminate the most threatening enemy in front of you, and then ask around to get more information!
