Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 821 Wolf Pack Attack
When a crisis arises, Razer, a veteran in the industry, fully demonstrates his decisiveness and magnanimity...

Whether out of humanitarianism or the simple-mindedness of the indigenous people, saving lives is never wrong.

Pointing out to Kahun and his group at this point might be a mistake and could actually negatively impact their thinking and actions...

Excellent mercenaries all share one thing in common: strong execution skills and the ability to eliminate most interference...

Once a decision has been made, there's no point in regretting it; that's something to discuss afterward!
Seeing that Thunder Serpent had stopped talking, Mountain Eagle added...

"This is Mountain Eagle, Kahun. That guy's got some trouble, but that's not something you need to worry about."

The most important thing now is to get them food. You lost your supplies, so remember to find a way to get some food along the way and send it over.

Kahun, on the other end of the radio, heard the mountain eagle's voice. He was silent for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "We carry compressed biscuits with us; that should last us for a while."

"Sir, have we gotten ourselves into trouble?"

When Mountain Eagle saw the look that Thunder Serpent was giving him, he shook his head and said, "Even if there is trouble, it has nothing to do with you. The only thing you need to do is to do your own thing."

Let those people live, so you can stand tall and make your demands in any situation!

Kahun fell silent again, and after nearly a minute, he finally replied, "Understood!"
Our mission is to rescue the trapped women and children!

Razer, holding the radio, said in a deep voice, "Then let's move out. Once the target is set, don't hesitate!"

While the group was on the phone, Mountain Eagle used a bionic drone to pinpoint Cahun and his group's location...

Visibility was low in the mountains due to snowfall, and a snowy owl began to closely track Kahun and his group, also acting as a repeater to keep the radio network running...

Just as the mountain eagles finished doing this, howls of wolves came from both sides of the hillside where they were.

Yue Yi, who had been sitting on the mountain eagle's shoulders, was extremely excited. He hugged his father's head and pointed to the snow-covered area on the east side of the hillside...

"Dad, look over there, it's a wolf!"

As the mountain eagle followed Yue Yi's finger, it spotted several black dots in the vast expanse of white snow in the hills and valleys to the east. They were rapidly making their way back to where they had been before...

Meanwhile, using the drone overhead, the mountain eagle spotted another dozen gray wolves roaming through the forest in another direction.

If it weren't for the experienced Razer, whether they stayed where they were or retreated to the south, they would have been attacked from both sides by these gray wolves.

However, the situation is a bit different now. Razer, a veteran in this field, simply changed direction with practiced ease and broke through the wolf pack's encirclement. Then, with a slight maneuver, it was able to attack the wolf pack from the side.

Time was of the essence, so Razer told Zach to get on the sled quickly, and then, with the Mountain Eagle in tow, they began to accelerate...

The two ran through the snow along the north side of the ridge for more than ten minutes, quickly circling around to the flank and rear of the wolf pack on the east side...

Taking advantage of the wind and the cover of the trees and bushes, Razer went forward to check it out, then waved for Mountain Eagle to follow...

"Look there?"

Following the direction of the lightning snake, the mountain eagle looked and saw that the wolf pack on the east side had split into four groups. Two groups of scout wolves began to approach their previous position, while the two groups of gray wolves behind them spread out in a pincer formation, using the cover of the forest to advance quickly...

Behind them was a large gray wolf, leading two smaller gray wolves, which stretched out to occupy a relatively high position and were giving orders by howling.

"Is that a wolf?"

Mountain Eagle pointed at the big gray wolf that kept howling and said, "Can the alpha wolf really use its howling to command so many wolves to attack?"

"Wolf packs are highly organized. Once you've dealt with them a lot, you'll understand that sometimes they are more courageous and obedient than many trained soldiers!"
As long as the alpha wolf is alive, they won't give up!

Razer grabbed an excited Yue Yi, shoved him into the sled and left him in Zack's care. Then he took out his lever-action shotgun, tried aiming, and shook his head, saying, "My gun's range isn't enough..."

"You come and take down that alpha wolf..."

After saying that, Razer turned his gun around and pointed it at the other gray wolves...

"You only have one chance. The fact that these wolves are attacking people is crazy. It means they are either desperate or they have tasted humans before."

"We must take down the alpha wolf, or the nearby villages may all be threatened..."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle gestured for Thunder Serpent to wait a moment, then he untied the reins on the sled and released several restless horses and wolves...

After inspecting their protective vests, Mountain Eagle commanded Balang to lead the wolves in a reverse maneuver, guarding the forest behind them to prevent the wolves from escaping into the forest.

Then Mountain Eagle pulled the sled to his side, put noise-canceling headphones on Yue Yi and Zack respectively, and handed Yue Yi a .22 caliber rifle, telling him to lie on the sled and fire...

Whether Yue Yi hits the target or not is irrelevant; what Mountain Eagle feels is that he needs to be involved at this point...

Seeing Zack sit down beside Yue Yi and begin aiming his rifle in a seated position, Mountain Eagle patted him on the shoulder, then went to his firing position and said, "I'll fire the first shot, get ready..."

As Mountain Eagle spoke, he pulled the bolt of his Remington 700, loading a .300 Magnum round into the magazine...

The scattered snowflakes slightly obstructed the view, but the mountain eagle, now in focus, quickly locked onto the large gray wolf that was howling incessantly...

As he took a deep breath, the slightly fluctuating crosshair seemed to freeze in place...

"boom"

A bullet traveled nearly 400 meters and hit the big gray wolf in the abdomen... After hitting the wolf, the bullet pierced its belly and struck another gray wolf in the hind leg.

"Ow..."

The immense pain caused the big gray wolf to let out a miserable howl. The moment its stomach was pierced, it turned and ran, rushing into a pile of rocks and letting out a series of howls...

"Shit, it missed..."

The mountain eagle originally aimed at the wolf's chest, but because it didn't calculate the wind direction in the forest and wasn't familiar with the trajectory of the Remington 700, the bullet missed by about ten centimeters.

That big gray wolf was definitely dead, but its dying howl kept the advancing wolf pack organized...

Razer and his team ignored Mountain Eagle's complaints. As the wolf pack turned and charged towards them, Razer pulled the trigger first...

A gray wolf that was originally lagging behind was hit by a .45-70 caliber bullet. A bloody flower exploded in its neck, and then, as if it had been electrocuted, its body suddenly stiffened during the bounce and crashed to the ground.

At the same time, Zack and Yue Yi also opened fire...

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Zach used an AR-15 that Mountain Eagle had specially prepared for him. This semi-automatic rifle, combined with Zach's innate dynamic vision and shooting sense, maximized its lethality...

Two wolves in the high-speed pack were hit instantly. A 5.56mm bullet, unless it hit a vital organ, is unlikely to kill a gray wolf instantly…

However, the wounded wolf will stop walking and turn to try to escape due to the pain, which gives Yue Yi, the little boy, the opportunity to shoot...

"Snapped"

A small-caliber bullet struck the snow on the side of a gray wolf. Yue Yi, realizing he had missed, didn't panic. Instead, he quickly pulled back the bolt and pulled the trigger again...

"Snapped"

This time, a wounded and slow-moving gray wolf was hit...

As blood gushed from the target wolf's body, and it slowly lay down on the ground, Yue Yi cheered and turned his gun again to search for a target...

In fact, the wolf pack was already very close to them, less than two hundred meters apart...

However, none of the two adults and two children showed any signs of fear.

Mountain Eagle shot down another gray wolf on the opposite hillside, then simply put down his slow-firing Remington 700, picked up his M2 shotgun, and positioned himself to guard the side of the sled...

Even now, the gray wolf that had been shot in the abdomen was still howling. The pack, turning back to charge, seemed to have gone mad, naturally forming a skirmish formation as they charged, accelerating with every leap and bound...

Because it was a head-on attack, the firing angle became very small. Apart from being hit by a bullet at the beginning, Yue Yi did not achieve anything else...

The experienced Razer is limited by the rate of fire of its lever-action rifle, and the time required to aim after each shot by pushing the lever also limits its attack efficiency...

Zach, however, remained unaffected, his specially modified AR-15 rhythmically releasing small-caliber ammunition...

At first, Zach missed a few shots because the wolf pack suddenly turned and charged, but then he found his rhythm.

"Bang, bang..."

Basically, every two bullets can hit a gray wolf running at high speed. Whether the high-speed bullet hits the gray wolf's head or chest, it will cause fatal damage.

However, the two sides were still too close. In total, there were only three to five rounds of shooting time. Although the number of gray wolves was reduced to single digits, they rushed to a position about 30 meters away from the firing position.

Mountain Eagle sensed Zack's tension beside him; after all, anyone would be nervous facing a massive gray wolf.

But when Mountain Eagle missed its target due to Zack's change in rhythm and turned around, it found that the boy had changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position, with half of his body blocking Yue Yi's younger brother's path, shielding him from the gray wolf's attack...

After hearing Razer sigh, Mountain Eagle suddenly raised his gun and pulled the trigger...

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The buckshot hit the foremost gray wolf in the three-headed charge, and just as Razer was about to fire, five dark figures darted out of the woods to the side of the gray wolf's charge route...

Baron and the wolves seemed to have springs in their feet, but the moment the charging gray wolves entered their attack range, they suddenly used the roots of several large trees to spring up, and with the momentum of rushing down the hillside, they crashed headfirst into the wolf pack in three or five leaps...

The sudden attack from the weak side caused the wolf pack to lose more than half of its members in an instant...

Baron lunged fiercely at the side of a gray wolf, then rolled over in the impact, biting the wolf's back and tearing at it as he rolled downwards, knocking over another gray wolf.

The remaining four war wolves employed the same tactics. Although they were not yet fully grown, their enormous size was already comparable to that of the gray wolves...

The moment the two collided, two gray wolves were sent flying, whimpering in pain, and tumbling down the hillside amidst a flurry of snowflakes.

The wolves, not one to back down, seemed to have practiced this many times. At the moment of impact, they made a second turn and actually managed to pounce on the other two gray wolves that had slowed down...

"Woooo..."

A gray wolf was simultaneously bitten by three war wolves. Amidst painful whimpers, its neck was bitten through, and its abdomen was cruelly torn open. As a large amount of blood gushed out, its intestines fell onto the snow.

Meanwhile, Baron, who had carried two opponents, also gained the upper hand...
