Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 804 Looking for someone
Mountain Eagle ignored the obviously drunk 'Eagle Claw', looked at the still sober Blood Fox, thought for a moment, and said, "Dalia and the others are planning to send that Thiago back to Mexico..."

Simply using that guy to cause trouble is easy, but I think we can get more out of Thiago.

Bloodfox, this seasoned veteran, might not know much about trade, but he's extremely familiar with this kind of thing...

Seeing the mountain eagle's seemingly hesitant expression, Blood Fox frowned and said, "What level do you want to go to?"
It would be troublesome to go to war with the Sinaloa Group, but if Thiago can make good use of the local advantages and find a backer in the Mexican government, it shouldn't be difficult for him to take over a territory.

"Send the Grey Wolves; with locals to guide them and logistics in place, they're top-tier fighting force in Mexico!"

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "Grey Wolf and his gang are too conspicuous in Mexico. It's not appropriate for them to stay there long-term. However, they could certainly participate in the initial operations against the Sinaloa Group..."

Thiago wants to establish himself, but he certainly can't do it on his own...

General Sid can send 15 men to accompany Thiago. Thiago himself estimates that he can persuade a few old comrades to help, and with the addition of recruitment, he should be able to put together a team.

However, such a team probably wouldn't be able to withstand the Sinaloa Group's counterattack..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Blood Fox and said, "I hope to find a reliable mercenary group from Mexico or Central America..."

I want these men to stay with Thiago, but they need to obey our orders.

Do you have any good recommendations?

Upon hearing this, Blood Fox frowned, thought for a moment, then exchanged a glance with the elk and said in unison, "Ramaris..."

Upon hearing this, the mountain eagle asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You can check the website of an international intermediary company, 'Snow Fox Mercenary Group'..."

Their leader was named Ramás, an Ecuadorian. His father had been one of our comrades, but he was killed in his first battle after joining Arctic Fox.

Ramás was a member of the Ecuadorian special forces. After retiring, he wanted to join the Arctic Fox, but was rejected by the "Silver Fox".

He came to Thailand to see me, hoping to get my support, but I wasn't in a particularly good situation at the time, so I didn't agree to his request. Instead, I advised him to go home and live a quiet life.

Unexpectedly, after returning home, this guy used the money we gave him every year to build a team that operated year-round on the smuggling route from South America to Central America, specifically targeting drug cartels.

Mountain Eagle asked curiously, "There are people like that?"
How would he support his men if he formed a mercenary group to fight drug cartels, and what was his motive?

Blood Fox shook his head slightly and said, "'Silver Fox' is unwilling to accept him because he is too eager for revenge..."

Back when we were fighting the Juarez drug cartel, we had to cooperate with the DEA. Afterwards, to repay that favor, we accepted a mission to take down the Los Choneros drug cartel in Ecuador.

This group controls a drug smuggling route from Colombia to Mexico. They have a large number of people and are heavily armed. As requested by the DEA, we raided several of their drug warehouses...

Ramás's father died in that very battle at the hands of the Los Choneros drug cartel in Ecuador.

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with taking revenge?"
Based on my understanding of Arctic foxes, you shouldn't be the kind of people who...

Blood Fox waved his hand and said, "If it's our own business, then of course we'll fight to the death for revenge."

But we were carrying out a contract; at that time, we were mercenaries. Casualties occurred during the battle. If we were to seek retribution to the death for every little thing, then we wouldn't be doing anything at all.

There was one thing Blood Fox didn't mention: Ramarez's father had just joined Arctic Fox, and Ecuador was his first mission. However, Mountain Eagle understood Blood Fox's point...

Well, the jobs we're all doing are inherently dangerous and risky...

Deaths are common on the battlefield. As long as it's not intentional humiliation or torture, the battle is over once it's over. If this kind of thing is to be passed down from generation to generation, then Arctic foxes really don't need to do anything.

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "Then I understand a little. This guy couldn't get recognition from Arctic Fox, so he formed his own mercenary group and started a war against the Los Choneros drug cartel in Ecuador..."

To be fair, cracking down on drug dealers is the right thing to do, and he's a real man.

However, his team is called 'Snow Fox,' a name that clearly hints at something more. Does this mean he still has designs on Arctic foxes?

Bloodfox shook his head and chuckled, saying, "You've seen 'Odin,' Ramares looks a bit like 'Odin'..."

However, 'Odin' wants to prove that Arctic Fox has gone down the wrong path, while Ramares wants to surpass Arctic Fox.

Unfortunately, to this day, they haven't achieved much success...

Blood Fox pointed to his heart and said in a deep voice, "Mercenaries can be greedy, cruel, and unscrupulous, but when a mercenary becomes obsessed, their actions become distorted..."

Ramász is determined to surpass Fjällräven, so he is extremely demanding of his subordinates.

The overly intense training, coupled with meager income, made it difficult for him to maintain team stability.

Mountain Eagle nodded understandingly and said, "Indeed, mercenaries don't have high incomes, so it's hard for them to be motivated to undergo high-intensity training."

But that guy's fighting drug cartels, doesn't he have any income?

Blood Fox chuckled and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, daring to try and steal from a drug cartel's coffers?"
"Think about it yourself, if it were just us, could you take over Sinaloa's treasury?" Mountain Eagle sighed and nodded, saying, "It's indeed unlikely..."

If it were just the people around us, we could probably only destroy the vault; it would be very difficult to take the money with us.

However, Dalia and her team have a complete plan. If the first phase goes smoothly, I am confident that I can persuade Kate to help us take over the Sinaloa Group's Cancun treasury.

It is said that over $2 million in cash is stored there year-round. Taking it would not only cause Sinaloa great pain but also fill the funding gap for retaliatory operations.

Blood Fox was a little unaccustomed to Mountain Eagle's current targets of hundreds of millions of dollars. He shook his head and said, "Don't you need manpower?"

Ramares should meet your requirements. You can contact him directly through an international agency; his asking price shouldn't be too high.

However, there's one thing you should be aware of: this guy operates on the South American smuggling routes year-round, so he has very low tolerance for drug dealers and human traffickers. Therefore, Thiago is best advised not to get involved in the drug or human trafficking business…”

Mountain Eagle nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Thiago is just an 'agent,' I'm the boss..."

I don't deal in drugs, and I definitely hate human traffickers more than that guy!

Blood Fox nodded with amusement and said, "You decide for yourself. I'd also like to see how a gang that doesn't deal in drugs or people can establish itself in Mexico."

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "It's simple. Find an enemy that everyone hates, and then keep fighting against them..."

Thiago will return to his hometown under the guise of a 'misunderstanding,' and eventually, given enough pressure, the Sinaloa Group will find a way to clear up the misunderstanding.

"We'll find Thiago a gang that everyone hates as an enemy. If he can win a few good battles, he'll be able to establish himself."

Blood Fox paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your target is the 'Halax New Generation'..."

Mountain Eagle wasn't surprised that Blood Fox had seen through his target at a glance. He nodded easily and said, "The most terrifying drug cartel in Mexico is not Sinaloa, but 'Halax New Generation'."

This group was less a gang and more like warlords with terrorist tendencies.

They are the most hated. If Thiago continues to oppose the Sinaloa Group, the Mexican government might step in to deal with him. But if he opposes the 'Halix Generation,' people might not help him, but they definitely won't hold him back.

As long as Thiago can hold on, he'll be safe!

The reasoning that Mountain Eagle was talking about was easy to understand, but Blood Fox and his gang of old guys weren't too keen on thinking about these brain-taxing things...

Blood Fox nodded slightly and said, "As for Thiago, you can do whatever you want with him..."

Now that we have the manpower, what are your plans next? How can we old guys help?

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and said, "I want to go to Razer's hometown. I checked the weather forecast, and it's already below minus sixty degrees Celsius there."

I wonder how my wife and kids are eating and sleeping there?

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle raised his middle finger at the few old men who were looking down on him, and said angrily, "This is all the mess you old devils made..."

Blood Fox waved her hand dismissively and said, "If you want to go see it, then go ahead, that's your problem. I just want to know what you want us to do?"

After listening, Mountain Eagle counted on his fingers and said, "For the next month, Thiago will need to train with General Sid's team..."

The prisoners couldn't be left idle either. Winter wasn't suitable for construction, but they could still do the work of leveling the ground.

El Salvador also needs someone to oversee things. Mori has already gone there and is negotiating with the authorities to acquire land to build a prison. Meanwhile, geothermal exploration has yielded initial results...

"Matthias can't hold on by himself right now..."

Blood Fox understood immediately. He nodded helplessly and said, "I understand. You want all of us old men to come over..."

Okay, this awful place is really tough on us in winter, we'll head over in a couple of days.

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "I feel most at ease with you going. Matthias bought a manor there, and the climate there is also very good."

"You old folks are better off going to a warm place, so you don't have to take painkillers every day to deal with swollen joints."

Blood Fox gave Mountain Eagle a deep look and said, "Mountain Eagle, whatever you want to do, we'll support you..."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then stood up solemnly and said, "I know, so I feel it's my responsibility to take care of you old asses..."

I have no problem with you guys, I just want to enjoy a winter without any disturbances!

At the same time, I hope that by the time I leave here, everything will be ready outside...

"We'll go and do something big then!"
