Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 786 They are all actors
"You didn't lose, you did a great job!"

After settling the prisoners, Mountain Eagle rode his snowmobile to the small lake camp...

The battle here ended an hour ago. His appearance broke the tense atmosphere. Xiao Wan, who had been trying to remain calm, finally couldn't hold back anymore and rushed over to hug Shan Ying's waist and began to sob.

Amidst the jeers of the griffins, Tessa ran to the eagle's side, pinched his cheek, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a quick peck on the face. Then, feigning nonchalance, she patted Xiaowan's bottom and said, "Your wife and kids are alright..."

Seeing that Tessa's face was deathly pale, yet she still put herself in the position of protector and spoke to him in a seemingly relaxed manner, Mountain Eagle sighed, knowing the whole story. He lowered his head and kissed Xiaowan on the head in his arms, then opened his right arm and pulled Tessa into his embrace...

"You're all great, the one who should go to hell is me..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Yulia, who was hiding behind the crowd, holding Luna to prevent her from causing trouble. He sighed and said to Xiaowan and Tessa, who seemed a little awkward, "Anyway, if you're unhappy, just take it out on me..."

However, you should be more careful in the future. It would be best to download an anti-fraud app and learn how to use it, because there are bad people among the public. You are all too kind, so you are easily deceived.

Mountain Eagle's inexplicable words broke his embrace of two women, which lasted only a few minutes.

After crying for a while, Xiao Wan wiped away her tears on the mountain eagle's chest...

Looking at Tessa, who was nestled under the eagle's arm, looking both aggrieved and content, she kicked the eagle's shin in annoyance, then glared at Tessa who was blinking her big eyes, finally sighed, and punched the eagle hard in the stomach...

"what……"

As the mountain eagle lay on the ground clutching his stomach, trying to slip away, Luna, who had been unable to contain herself any longer, broke free from Yulia's embrace and ran over to block the mountain eagle's path. Turning around, she opened her arms, bared her little white teeth, and shouted at Xiaowan, "Don't you dare bully my daddy..."

The mountain eagle was deeply moved, feeling that the girl he had unexpectedly found in Alaska was truly worth the effort.

Xiao Wan was amused and exasperated by the little girl's behavior. She reached out and pinched Luna's nose, then turned around and hugged her somewhat bewildered son, whispering something in his ear while pointing at the mountain eagle...

It's as if it's saying that this old man in front of you isn't a good person, and that you'll have to remove his oxygen tube when he gets old...

Faced with his son's curious gaze, even the thick-skinned Mountain Eagle couldn't resist. So he stood up briskly, greeted the group of women watching the commotion, and then said with a serious expression, "The camp has been under fierce attack, and the situation there is not good."

I suggest you stay at the small lake campsite for a while longer. I will help you set up a new tent as soon as possible and prepare enough supplies.

"You can go back after I've taken care of everything at the camp!"

This time, Xiao Wan refused Mountain Eagle's request. She insisted on returning to the camp to see the injured Queda and Old Joe, and also wanted to find out who was attacking the place...

Mountain Eagle didn't really want his wife to see the terrible scene, but he knew in his heart that this kind of thing might happen again in the future, and it was better to be prepared than to be at a loss when the time came.

In reality, of the entire Mountain Eagle family, only Xiao Wan truly escaped the harsh realities of life…

When she was a police officer, she did logistical work. She had heard of or seen many case files or crime scene photos of heinous crimes, but she had never actually seen a real corpse, especially not so many corpses.

After much hesitation, Mountain Eagle finally led everyone around to the other side of the lake, where they found the corpses that Blood Fox and his men had prepared beforehand...

The corpses weren't actually that horrific. Even though some were riddled with bullet holes, after being frozen for several hours, the mangled remains didn't look so frightening anymore. Overall, they looked like crumpled wax figures that had been frozen in a cold storage for a while...

The mountain eagle accompanied Yue Yi and Luna the whole time, covering their eyes when they saw the corpse and keeping a close eye on Xiao Wan's condition.

Surprisingly, Xiao Wan was very strong. She didn't vomit, didn't feel dizzy, and didn't have the kind of stress reaction that you see in novels when facing death. Her only reaction was anxiety!
No matter what Mountain Eagle had told her in the past, or how much psychological preparation she had received, none of it was as convincing as these dozen or so corpses.

Now she finally understands what her husband is doing and what he needs to face!

The so-called explosive scenes in the movie are child's play compared to so many corpses.

The real life-or-death struggle isn't about blood splattering everywhere; in the end, it's just death...

The frozen corpses, those gray eyes, revealed a chilling silence.

After a night of excitement, the sudden silence severely impacted Xiao Wan's worldview.

She returned to the camp with unusual anxiety, only to find many severely wounded prisoners groaning in agony, and even more corpses...

In order to clean up the battle site, Butcher and his team, along with the Dog Team, took the prisoners to the camp and then used snowmobiles to pull sleds, hauling back the bodies they could find, one truckload at a time.

The Demon Order, Sinaloa, and General Sid's forces totaled over 400, but less than half survived.

When Xiao Wan saw Ruby driving an excavator, digging a large pit in an open area near the camp to bury the bodies, and confidently declaring that the area would definitely grow a lot of plants next year, Xiao Wan could no longer look at this simple-minded man who wasn't very bright...

Despite being injured, Eagle Claw forced himself to pretend he was fine and refused his daughter Lilith's offer of help. He then set up a makeshift operating room on his own to perform surgery on the seriously wounded prisoners.

Sending them to the hospital was out of the question, and the prisoners knew their condition, so they could only pray that Eagle Claw's skills were good enough to treat their injuries properly.

Actually, in terms of gore, the battlefield isn't that bad, especially in temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius. No matter how gruesome the death, the ice won't produce any odor, and it will just look like a lump of frozen meat...

The truly horrific scene was in the infirmary, because they literally had to cut people open there… To make things easier, Eagle Claw converted a shipping container into a makeshift operating room. They also raised one end of the container to create a slight tilting angle for easier cleaning and disinfection, and then drilled several drainage holes at the lowest point…

On the first day alone, several buckets of human blood flowed from those drainage holes, and every now and then there were severed limbs that were put into garbage bags and thrown into the camp's garbage incinerator.

Xiao Wan felt that as Shan Ying's wife, she needed to accept everything about him, but she overestimated her own patience, especially when she saw her son watching out of curiosity to see how Little Ruby buried the body. She really couldn't bear it anymore...

Not to mention her, even Tessa, and even the experienced agents like Griffin, couldn't handle it.

So when Razer returned three days later with a large group of prisoners and even more corpses, the old Inuit man took the opportunity to invite them to visit his Inuit village...

Xiao Wan agreed immediately and then started packing her things!
Mountain Eagle didn't stop him; he truly didn't dare say anything at that moment...

Because he knew better than anyone else that half of the terrible situation in the camp was deliberately created by Blood Fox and his group.

These old fogies deliberately exploited the brutality of war to fuel Xiao Wan's anxiety, making him ignore his emotional entanglements. They even occasionally confided in Tessa, trying to understand her experiences to determine if their own condition was normal...

Tessa didn't hide it either...

Her acquaintance with Mountain Eagle was anything but peaceful. On their first meeting, Mountain Eagle smashed several people's heads in front of her, splattering their brains onto her face. After that, he went on a killing spree.

Tessa had seen far more brutal scenes than this, but she had never been asked to participate in the most psychologically challenging part of the cleanup.

Not to mention Xiao Wan couldn't handle it, Tessa also began to doubt her nerves under the deliberate influence of Blood Fox and his old buddies, because she really didn't dare to look directly into the despairing eyes of those prisoners.

During their conversation, the two realized that they didn't seem to know much about Mountain Eagle, especially about his work.

They couldn't comprehend the profound cruelty and immense pressure of bearing the lives of everyone on his shoulders. How did Mountain Eagle manage to carry it all alone?

After that old geezer rummaged through the camp's warehouse, amassed a lot of stuff, and then flew north with his wife and kids to become the King of the Skies, the Mountain Eagle finally couldn't hold back any longer...

"What the hell do you want?"

Mountain Eagle intercepted Blood Fox, who had been avoiding him, and dragged him to the door of a makeshift operating room that resembled a slaughterhouse. Pointing to the discarded limbs and severed bodies on the ground, he angrily cursed, "These things are all veteran actors..."

I saw them 14 times a week, once in the morning and once in the evening. At that rate, how many prisoners will still have any intact arms and legs?

Mountain Eagle's anger caught the attention of Eagle Claw in the operating room. He lifted the sterile curtain, revealing a disemboweled corpse lying on the operating table. He then removed his blood-stained gloves and tossed them aside. Sitting on the edge of the operating room, he lit a cigarette and said, "Your wife is an amazing woman. Anyone else might not have lasted a day..."

She persisted for a week, constantly trying to convince herself to understand the situation.

Although she was very scared, she kept trying her best to take care of us.

"Mountain Eagle, Mrs. Lee is amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle pointed incredulously at the corpse inside and exclaimed, "That damn thing was an actor too?"

Eagle Claw shrugged and said, "I can't exactly keep a living person being disemboweled every day..."

Mountain Eagle, the only ones who really need major surgery are the few you captured from the north. The others who were seriously injured didn't even make it to camp before freezing to death.

For those who sustained minor injuries, their own team doctor could manage to bandage them up.

This is Alaska; as long as they're not kept too warm, the chances of infection in winter aren't too high.

As Eagle Claw looked at Mountain Eagle's surprised expression, he spread his hands and said, "We're all doing this for your own good. We all think you're not very good at handling relationship issues, so we decided to give you a hand."

"Look, Mrs. Lee and Tessa are getting along quite well now..."

The mountain eagle held its head and looked at the eagle talons in front of it, saying incredulously, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
You old fogies, why don't you take a look in the mirror? Which of you still has a wife?

"You bunch of losers are prescribing medicine for me? Are you all out of your minds?"

Blood Fox frowned as he looked at the enraged Mountain Eagle and said with disdain, "You definitely can't handle this yourself. Are we just going to watch you waste your time on this kind of problem?"

We may not understand, but Dalia and Yulia are women. Don't they understand women's thoughts?

We have prepared many contingency plans and have ways to deal with all kinds of situations...

Don't worry, Julia is right here with Mrs. Lee. She'll definitely be able to handle your relationship problems and get you to focus on fighting the Edward Foundation and the Sinaloa Group.

Kid, you've only won one game. Your enemy is powerful. You can't waste too much time on relationship problems, otherwise, if things go wrong, you won't be able to handle the consequences!
