Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 775 Fierce Fight
A dull thud echoed from the lobby of the small building. The already dilapidated wooden door, as if struck by a battering ram, spewed out large amounts of sawdust and thick smoke...

Just as Mountain Eagle was about to turn around and rush in, he heard several crisp sounds of grenade fuses snapping open. Then he saw four offensive grenades fall from upstairs and land in the snow in front of the corridor.

With almost no time to think, the moment the grenade hit the ground, he turned around, used his shoulder to push open the dilapidated wooden door, and burst into the lobby.

At this point, all the lighting fixtures in the lobby had been destroyed, with only a few dim emergency lights flickering in the corridors on both sides. After the main door was forced open, the wind and snow, along with a fierce gust of cold wind, blew into the building.

As he turned and broke down the door, Mountain Eagle produced a stun grenade with its pins pulled in each hand. Crouching low, he moved laterally towards the corner, hugging the inner wall of the door, while the two stun grenades were gently rolled towards the corridors on either side of the middle of the lobby…

The most important principle in indoor close-quarters combat (CQB) is to avoid giving the enemy the opportunity to attack from both sides, and to always keep your back safe...

Therefore, the first thing Mountain Eagle did upon entering was to approach the near corner on the outside. This way, he only needed to face the enemy in the diagonally opposite corridor for the time being, while the enemy on his side had to risk leaning out to get a firing line. This gave Mountain Eagle a few seconds.

"boom"

"boom"

The intense white light and deafening roar from the two stun grenades unleashed their full power in this dark and relatively enclosed environment.

Combined with the power of the previous thermobaric grenade, the situational awareness of the enemies on the first floor near the lobby was largely disabled.

Mountain Eagle, holding an M2 shotgun, stood near the corner and pulled the trigger at two gunmen groaning and clutching their heads in the opposite corridor...

With two loud bangs, it was as if some kind of monster had bitten into the heads of the two men. One head exploded from the nose upwards, and the other head was gnawed off, with a large amount of brain tissue falling out through the gaps.

After succeeding, Mountain Eagle moved along the wall into the corridor, pulling an offensive grenade from his chest, biting off the pin, and throwing it into the opposite corridor. Then he pulled off a defensive grenade, leaned out, and threw it into the corridor beside him...

"boom"

"boom"

Once the mountain eagle is in the zone, its mind is incredibly clear...

He threw offensive grenades into the distance to slow down the gunmen in the far corridor, while also weakening their situational awareness. More importantly, in this face-to-face situation, using more powerful defensive grenades could easily result in friendly fire.

Similarly, throwing defensive grenades into the near end of the corridor is to maximize damage, while also avoiding accidental injury from shrapnel because you are close to the outside of the corridor.

As the two grenades exploded, Mountain Eagle decisively switched the M2 shotgun to his left hand, then pushed it horizontally with his right hand, pointed the muzzle at the interior of the corridor, and pulled the trigger...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Six consecutive bullets tore the writhing men on the ground to pieces. Then, Mountain Eagle threw another grenade into the distance, gripped the shotgun handguard with his left hand, flipped the gun, and then turned and rushed into the blood-soaked corridor. At the same time, he pulled four slugs from the quick-release magazine in his abdomen and pushed them into the magazine in two slits...

Upon reaching the door of the first room in the corridor, Mountain Eagle loaded the spare rounds from the ejection port into the chamber and then pulled the trigger towards the upper middle part of the door...

"boom"

A powerful slug pierced through the wooden door and struck a gunman who was on guard in the head...

Because of the wooden door, the bullet deviated slightly in flight and struck the man's neck instead of his head.

The large bullet, propelled by immense kinetic energy, tumbled wildly and tore open half of the gunman's neck. A torrent of blood, as if propelled by a high-pressure water pump, sprayed onto the ceiling and walls of the room…

At this moment, someone in the opposite corridor finally reacted. They huddled in their room and threw two grenades in the direction of the mountain eagle.

As the grenade flew through the air, Mountain Eagle kicked open the door to the room in front of him and rushed inside...

The moment Mountain Eagle entered, he was astonished to find that the gunman inside, with half his neck severed, was still alive...

"Clap clap clap clap..."

The guy lying on the ground pulled the trigger of his rifle, and his arm began to swing wildly with the recoil.

Mountain Eagle felt a sharp pain in his thigh and abdomen, but without checking his own injuries, he raised his hand and fired another shot into the head of the tenacious creature.

"Boom boom"

At that moment, two grenades exploded not far down the corridor, the shockwave sending corpses and carnage flying inwards...

A crisp "snap" sounded from the door of the room where Mountain Eagle was.

As the mountain eagle was quickly grabbing bullets from its ammunition pouch and loading them, it looked over and discovered that half of the face was pressed against the door.

He looked up, loaded four slugs into the quick-release magazine in his abdomen, and then inserted one into the ejection port...

He then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, moved his wounded thigh, and, after confirming that his flexible armor had stopped the bullet, pulled the trigger against the wall next to the room…

"Bang bang bang bang..."

For insulation and defense purposes, the main structure of the building is a sturdy brick-concrete structure. However, to separate the office area, the interior decoration uses a wooden structure, that is, walls made of wooden framing, OSB board, and plasterboard.

The sole purpose of such walls in defense is to block the line of sight and restrict the opponent's advance.

However, this was completely useless to the mountain eagle. The cicada, which had not appeared for a long time, provided him with unparalleled situational awareness, allowing him to clearly locate the opponent's position even when his vision was obstructed.

These people are very troublesome, but not to the point that Mountain Eagle can't handle them...

A series of slugs pierced the wall, killing the two gunmen next door. In that instant, Mountain Eagle took off, sprinting in three or four steps, his strong shoulder slamming against the wooden wall...

He chose a spot right where a wooden keel was laid, with two OSB boards joined together. With a tremendous force applied to it, the pine keel snapped instantly, and then the eagle, like a wild brown bear, broke through the wall and entered the next room.

Amidst the billowing dust, Mountain Eagle retrieved the remaining slugs from the ammunition magazine, loaded them into the magazine, and then went directly to the door, aimed at the wooden door, and pulled the trigger… “Bang bang bang bang bang…”

The eight single-shot bullets pierced the door like eight battering rams, turning the two gunmen in the opposite room who had moved to the doorway to look for an opportunity to attack into a bloody mess.

The large slug is like the devil's claw; it leaves a gaping, bloody hole wherever it hits.

The gunman on the other side was shot three times in the abdomen, two of which grazed the bulletproof plate and entered his abdomen...

The tumbling, large projectile tore open the opponent's abdomen like a meat grinder, breaking his spine and creating two huge wounds, causing his intestines to spill out.

As his internal organs fell out, the man's body bent forward at a 90-degree angle, then slammed headfirst into the ground, startling the gunmen rushing towards him from the opposite side...

No matter how resilient these drug-using gunmen were, this level of injury had far exceeded their limits of endurance.

Faced with this scene, even the most resilient gunmen, rushing out from the opposite corridor, were starting to feel the pressure...

"Clap clap clap clap..."

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Led by the two vanguards, seven gunmen rushed out from the opposite corridor. Instead of entering the corridor where Mountain Eagle was located, they began to suppress the entire corridor with dense fire...

Faced with this level of firepower suppression, the Mountain Eagle had no choice but to stay close to the door and wait for an opportunity...

Meanwhile, Chakdi, who was outside the small building, had already dealt with the wounded who were half-dead from the explosion, and then, using the corner of the wall as cover, he kept suppressing the exit of the cellar in the backyard with short bursts of fire...

The enemies were clearly seasoned veterans; they hadn't given up on the idea of ​​flanking, but they hadn't expected Mountain Eagle to be so ruthless—even though there were only two of them, they still managed to send one out to suppress the enemy...

The cellar exit was small, and the 45-degree ladder couldn't support too many people. Every time they peeked out, they were blocked. For a moment, several fully armed gunmen couldn't get out.

Chakdi was busy, but Baron somehow managed to get to the front of the building...

Nine gunmen in total suppressed Mountain Eagle in batches, rendering him unable to move, while gunmen coming to provide support from the outside were rapidly approaching the small building.

Taking the opportunity, Mountain Eagle observed the surroundings again through the crow's perspective. After reloading the M2 shotgun, he secured the gun to his backpack and then picked up the AK-105...

“Baron…”

The moment Mountain Eagle gave the command, Baron, who had been pressed against the edge of the door, suddenly appeared and rushed into the lobby...

As the final two seconds of the grenade flew off his back, the clever dog quickly pawed at the ground a few times, then turned and darted away from the lobby...

"boom"

"boom"

The 1.2-meter height of the bounding mine did not cause fatal damage to the crouching or prone gunmen. Only two unlucky ones were hit on the head by the steel ball. The rest, startled, began rolling around looking for cover and pointed their guns at the front and back doors...

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mountain Eagle threw two defensive grenades into the lobby...

After turning back and pressing himself against the wall to wait for the grenade to explode, Mountain Eagle picked up his AK-105 and charged back into the lobby...

"Pah, pah, pah..."

There were no special tactics; it was just a matter of rushing out from the middle of the corridor while firing rapidly...

Compared to most people who hold their fingers on the trigger when nervous, Mountain Eagle's firing technique is extremely effortless...

Advance, fire...

Step to the side, fire...

Slide, fire...

The corpses and debris on the ground seemed to be non-existent, unable to slow his pace at all. However, it made it difficult for the surviving gunmen to find their targets when they instinctively retaliated.

With incredible speed, Mountain Eagle fired double bursts at the gunmen's heads, completely ignoring their feeble counterattacks.

They're faster and more accurate than you. You might be incredibly resilient, but if you get shot in the body, you'll feel pain; if you get shot in the head, you'll die!
As the mountain eagle charged, the gunmen who were knocked to the ground were like moles in a game. Every time they tried to get up and raise their guns to fire, a bullet would hit their heads, and they would fall backward like moles that had been hit by a hammer.

The corridor was only two meters wide, so it was like a head-on collision. No matter how strong Mountain Eagle was, he still took two bullets...

In the enemy's blind and chaotic counterattack, one shot hit Mountain Eagle in the chest, the bullet punctured a magazine and got stuck in his body armor, another shot hit the wall to Mountain Eagle's side, and the flying cement shards left a bloody groove on his cheek like blades.

However, compared to Mountain Eagle's negligible minor injuries, the gunmen who surrounded him fared much worse...

"Clap clap, clap clap, clap clap..."

Mountain Eagle, who rushed out of the corridor, began firing shots at the gunmen to ensure he didn't miss any.

After confirming there were no survivors in the lobby, Mountain Eagle glanced at the staircase next to the opposite corridor, which led not only to the second floor but also to the basement of the small building…

Noticing that Chuckdy outside was struggling, Mountain Eagle pressed the radio and said, "Chuckdy, come in through the front door..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle rushed to the stairwell, and just as he was about to peek out, several bullets struck the steps in front of him...

"Clap clap..."
