Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 761 New News

The doctor clearly heard what Mountain Eagle said on the phone. He looked at Mountain Eagle, who had sat back down, with some disbelief and said, "You really want to save us?"

Mountain Eagle chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Don't be too happy yet. From now on, none of the perks you enjoy will be free..."

For example, the helicopter that will soon fly over to pick you up, and the medical services at the camp, will all be charged.

You can refer to the pricing standards of American rescue services. I heard that there was an unlucky guy in Los Angeles who broke his leg while climbing a mountain. He was then airlifted to the hospital for emergency treatment. He eventually recovered, but was bankrupted by a million-dollar bill.

I hope your heart can hold up when you see the bill...

The doctor thought the mountain eagle was joking. He shook his head bitterly and said, "We're just tools. I don't think anyone can pay our bills..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the time, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "Buddy, you have a good grasp of your own abilities, but you can't underestimate yourself..."

The Demon Order's elite medic has been captured. If the Demon Order's boss behind the scenes is unwilling to even pay for his medical treatment, that would be truly disheartening.

Don't worry, no matter how many of you I catch, I'll post your photos online...

There's a really interesting business online called 'unboxing'. I know you probably don't want to reveal all your personal information, but the internet is a magical place.

Your family will soon find out what you did, and if they care about you, they should try to raise the money.

Even if they don't have money, they can still put pressure on the Edward Foundation in some ways...

Organizations that don't care about their own lives have no future. Even if the Edward Foundation is just putting on a show, they'll still have to pay up.

The doctor shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's impossible. If you do that, you'll only invite relentless attacks."

Do you think you can strike at the Edward Foundation by humiliating us?
you are too naive!
The Demon Legion's job is to fight. They'll find us, and then a constant stream of soldiers will come to our rescue or kill us outright, then pin our deaths on you..."

Looking at the doctor, who seemed to have a clear mind, Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "Why do you think you're in Alaska at this time?"

Do you think I would care about these things?
Dude, I don't care what others think, as long as you guys live, the Edward Foundation will suffer...

Trust me, I have plenty of ways to make the Edward Foundation lose face because of you!
Even if you die, it will be my achievement, and it will make others respect me.

See, I never lose out...

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the doctor, who was still shivering even sitting by the campfire, and said with a smile, "Everyone has value; it just depends on whether it can be discovered."

I will spare your lives and then send you to El Salvador, where I will build a super prison and you will serve your sentences there for a long time.

You should pray your boss is generous, otherwise life there will be very difficult!
"Of course, the compensation for a technician like you can be a little better..."

Upon hearing this, the doctor exclaimed in horror, "What...what exactly do you want to do?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "I will set up cameras in the prison and post your updates on the dark web at set times every day."

You will have many fellow inmates in the future. I will show you your situation to those who want me dead and what the consequences will be for attacking me...

Of course, your identities are a bit lacking, but I believe I can catch some truly influential people to fill the empty beds in the prison.

Until someone pays your bills, you'll need to keep working, working, working...

You look to be in good shape; you should be able to handle it!

Looking at the smiling mountain eagle, the doctor felt a chill run through his body...

This is no longer a simple act of humiliation; it's about turning that prison into bait, forcing the Edward Foundation to either submit or keep sending people there by constantly humiliating them.

The doctor couldn't understand where the mountain eagle got its courage; he only knew that as one of the prisoners, his fate would be terrible.

Just as he was contemplating ending his own life to avoid falling into such a tragedy, the man with the broken back leaned against a box, turned his head, and said painfully, "Don't listen to him. It's questionable whether he can even survive this winter."

Our men will destroy the entire brown bear camp…

The mountain eagle looked at the unfortunate fellow who was completely unable to move with some surprise, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Then I'll wait and see how you destroy my camp, and you can watch along with me..."

What position would you like to use to watch it?

Is it to be watched in a wheelchair? Or to be watched lying in bed?

"You can choose whatever you want, I can make it happen!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle noticed the complex, hesitant expression on the man's face and said with a smile, "Oh, you want to intimidate me a little, and then make me think you might have some important information..."

You could just say so directly. If what you have to say interests me, I'll have the camp doctor give you priority treatment.

Judging from your description, it seems to be a lumbar vertebral fracture. If surgery is performed promptly, there is a chance of recovery. I happen to have two excellent surgeons at my camp…”

The unfortunate fellow with the back injury was named Jacob. Just like the mountain eagle, he wanted to elevate his importance through intimidation, because he knew better than anyone that his time was running out...

Less than eight hours have passed since his failed parachute jump last night, but his lower body has already begun to feel numb.

They were all men who had lived a life of violence and bloodshed. He wasn't too afraid of being hurt, but this numbness terrified him. He was more afraid of becoming a paraplegic than being killed quickly.

He overheard the conversation between the mountain eagle and the doctor, and the more indifferent the mountain eagle seemed, the more frightened he became.

Because he didn't see any importance in the Mountain Eagles. According to their logic, being unimportant meant being abandoned at any time, and there was no reliable medical assistance.

Jacob didn't want to die...

Seeing that the mountain eagle seemed indifferent, Jacob looked up into his eyes with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "The fact that you were able to ambush us here means that our whereabouts have been exposed long ago. Someone must have betrayed us, right?"
However, the fact that you chose to come here to intercept us personally shows that the person who betrayed us didn't know much. Otherwise, you would know that the more dangerous group was not us at all.

What I'm saying is true: the brown bear camp will be destroyed, and in ways you can't even imagine!

I need medical assistance…

Jacob spoke very seriously, and the mountain eagle couldn't help but feel a little curious...

Seeing that he had successfully aroused the mountain eagle's curiosity, Jacob glanced at the bewildered doctor and said with a wry smile, "Do you know why we were suddenly sent to meet up with you?"

Our original plans were disrupted because a group of very capable people came from the south.

Initially, we planned to force the brown bear camp to divert troops to provide relief by attacking the indigenous people, and then ambush their forces along the way. However, due to the intervention of those people from the south, our plan changed.

Our main task became destroying the indigenous villages and then stopping the people from the brown bear camp from escaping north.

As Jacob looked at the mountain eagle, who had frowned, he said in a deep voice, "You've realized something, haven't you?"

Our commander has partnered with those people to the south, and they are confident they can destroy the Brown Bear camp in one fell swoop.

I happen to know their methods, and they're definitely not what you're thinking...

Drones, ships, and mortars are just the basics; our commanders have much more powerful tools at their disposal.

No one else knew about these things; I was the only one who overheard some of them...

Give me the best treatment, and then I'll tell you everything I know!

As soon as Jacob finished speaking, the doctor next to him and the guy whose bladder had been punctured both changed their expressions...

Jacob saw the doctor looking at him with an incredulous expression and said bitterly, "If we can't die a quick death, then we have no choice but to surrender."

Dude, we have no choice. Once this guy posts us online to humiliate the Demon Gang, we'll become their target too, and nobody will sympathize with us.

Do you remember those comrades who disappeared?

Betrayal is an unforgivable sin to the Demon Clan. They will kill us at all costs, and may even kidnap our families to force us to commit suicide.

Doctor, you don't have family, but I do. I know what they would do, and I've been involved...

I'm not afraid of death; at least my family will be safe if I die. But I'm afraid of living a half-dead existence, being used as a prop to humiliate those people.

As Jacob looked at the scissors in the doctor's hand, he said bitterly, "Either you find a chance to cut my throat, or we'll both become traitors."

Mountain Eagle felt he had underestimated the Demon Crew's control over their subordinates. In his mind, these guys who worked for money were unlikely to have any sense of 'loyalty'.

Reality confirmed his suspicions, but he still underestimated the demonic forces' power...

Surprisingly, the one with the strongest will to survive was the doctor, who had no ties to the family. Jacob, on the other hand, clearly wanted to die more. However, after listening to the mountain eagle's story, he felt that he wouldn't die, so he took the initiative to reveal the information.

The mountain eagle showed no sympathy for these guys, because they were there to attack its own enemies...

He just didn't expect that his momentary 'kindness' would actually hit Jacob's weak spot.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of incurring the wrath of the demons, and afraid that his family would be harmed...

This further solidified Mountain Eagle's resolve to capture more prisoners alive...

Seeing the doctor's changing expression, Mountain Eagle smiled and gestured for him to do as he pleased. Then he pressed the communicator and said, "Sled, have those people made any moves?"
Remember to be kind to them later; we'll invite them all to the camp!
