Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 822 Wolf Disaster
Theoretically speaking, dogs cannot defeat wolves...

Because the two sides face completely different living environments!
Just as domesticated lions and tigers cannot defeat wild lions and tigers, certain deadly skills and, most importantly, wildness, create a chasm.

In the past, some specialized military units would have their soldiers act as executioners in order to train their wildness.

This practice is not just about training courage; after all, if we only talk about killing, any psychopathic serial killer is stronger than an ordinary person.

This is done to break down a certain line in people's hearts...

Because most people grow up within rules, and this is especially true in more civilized and developed countries.

The education we receive from childhood and the constraints of our surroundings constantly reinforce this line, making people feel constrained when facing extreme situations.

Simply put, it's about whether you dare to go all out!

Otherwise, in close combat on the battlefield, while you're still considering strategy and tactics, the enemy is already there with the intention of killing you. Sometimes, being half a second slower can mean the difference between life and death.

This is one of the reasons why soldiers who have experienced brutal combat are stronger than their peers who have not.

Because real-world experience not only gives survivors valuable lessons, but it also completely changes how a person reacts under pressure.

Some people will develop PTSD as a result, causing irreparable psychological damage, while others will become true sharpshooters or even legends because of their strong belief and discipline!
Baron is one of the most outstanding dogs...

As it pounced on one gray wolf, using the momentum of the downhill slope to knock down another, it sprang up with all four limbs, tearing off a large patch of skin from the first gray wolf's back. Then, before the other gray wolf could even get up, it pounced on it and bit its neck...

Immediately afterward, as Baron's body was pulled backward, his spine and body swayed violently like a spring. The enormous force of the swaying compensated for the dog's lack of bite force, tearing a large, steaming, and bloody gash into the thick-furred gray wolf's neck.

After succeeding, Baron pounced on the gray wolf again without hesitation. When the wolf bit his back armor, he bent down and forcefully flipped it over, then opened his mouth and bit the wolf's trachea...

When a wolf charged over to help, Balang, with his jaws on its opponent's trachea, tilted his head back and lifted the wolf's entire upper body, weighing over 100 pounds, using his imposing gaze to drive the enthusiastic wolf away...

The enthusiastic war wolf stopped in its tracks, startled by the 'dog daddy's' imposing aura and growl. It then twisted its body and rubbed against the 'dog daddy's' body, absorbing some of the 'war god's aura' before turning back and charging into the battle again to assist its companions in cleaning up the mess.

The mountain eagles had finished their work and were calling it a day...

The M2 shotgun fires buckshot containing eight pellets. A direct hit from this weapon would be fatal to gray wolves, and even a mere graze or contact with a pellet would cause them to painfully stop in their tracks.

Compared to the guns used by Razer and Zach, Mountain Eagle was much more at ease. He deliberately kept the charging Gray Wolves within 30 meters, and then, taking advantage of his height, tilted the muzzle downwards to effectively avoid bullet penetration that could cause friendly fire to Baron and the War Wolves.

He wasn't aiming for a fatal blow; he simply wanted to stop these overly frenzied gray wolves as quickly as possible and then hand over the remaining tasks to the war wolves.

The gore from animal attacks is several levels more intense than from a simple gunshot...

Zach received training in the laboratory from a young age and had long-term contact with animals like the Mackenzie wolf, so he remained very calm...

Yue Yi's reaction surprised Mountain Eagle a bit...

He had initially thought his son would be nervous or timid, but to his surprise, the boy displayed strong aggressive stress response when the wolf warrior clashed with the gray wolf...

Seeing his son's subconscious screams and reddened eyes, Shanying realized that the shadow of his son being abducted when he was a child had not dissipated at all.

The experience of being trafficked and abused was like a nail driven into his heart, giving rise to strong aggression!
Xiao Wan once mentioned to Shan Ying that her son couldn't stand staying in kindergarten. At the time, Shan Ying said he understood, but in his heart he was a little unconvinced and felt that the kindergarten and the other parents were making a mountain out of a molehill.

But when he saw his son's reaction, he felt a pang of pain in his heart, and then realized that he should start cultivating his son's sense of responsibility from this moment on, and at the same time try to establish a line in his heart...

Otherwise, he might only be able to associate with kids like Zack and Luna in the future, because he would be too dangerous for other kids.

Mountain Eagle had been deliberately cultivating and even indulging his son's wildness in order to cultivate his courage and make him forget that terrible experience.

Now he suddenly realized that he might have used too much force...

Wildness should not be the unrestrained release of violence!
A sense of responsibility, rational thinking, and emotional stability are the most important things to him!
Lost in thought, Mountain Eagle grabbed the restless Yue Yi. He looked at the gray wolf carcass lying on the ground not far away, thought for a moment, and then whistled to summon Balang and the War Wolves back...

After examining their bodies with Yue Yi, the mountain eagle pulled a wolf with a wounded face from the fight and handed it to Yue Yi...

“Son, it got injured protecting us. We have medicine in our bag. You are responsible for applying the medicine to it, and you are also responsible for feeding it for the next few days.”

Yue Yi had no idea what his father was thinking. In his mind, these War Wolves were just like Balang, his 'Shuke' and 'Beta'—his friends.

Taking care of friends is a matter of course in his eyes, but in the past, because he was too young, the adults excluded him from these things.

It seems that as long as he's having fun, everyone else will be happy too!

Luna, who is more than half a year older than Yue and has a wilder temperament, is the only obstacle that hinders this kid's rapid progress on the path of a spoiled brat!

Mountain Eagle watched as his son ran onto the sled and began rummaging for medicine, his head sweating with anxiety. He breathed a sigh of relief, then nudged the injured War Wolf, making it lean against him... Then, looking at the somewhat strange-looking Thunder Serpent, he said, "Perhaps bringing my family here was a good choice. For the foreseeable future, we should come out for a stroll every day."

These little ones should learn more and cultivate some more important qualities...

Razer was unaware of Yue Yi's ordeal; in his eyes, Yue Yi's actions just now were actually quite courageous...

Faced with the nitpicking Mountain Eagle, Razer shook his head with a strange expression and said, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about. Fies is a great kid. He has a strong thirst for knowledge and a competitive spirit."

Razer glanced at the composed Zac and said admiringly, "From my perspective, both kids are impeccable."

The mountain eagle shook its head and said, "No one is perfect..."

Zach is very reserved, and Faith is prone to making mistakes under pressure!
If they were just ordinary children, there would be no problem with them, but they are my sons…

After finishing his explanation, Mountain Eagle didn't elaborate further. Instead, he waited for Yue Yi to apply the ointment to War Wolf's face before inviting him and Zack to get on the sled. He then personally pulled them to begin their journey...

The wolf pack that had been flanking from the other side has arrived...

However, perhaps because of the heavy casualties among their companions, this larger group of gray wolves did not launch an attack. Instead, they wandered around in the woods a few hundred meters away, howling mournfully.

Even a layman like Mountain Eagle could sense the tension and bewilderment in the howls of the gray wolves...

Razer, the veteran hunter, frowned upon hearing the sound...

As the mountain eagle moved forward, it scolded the restless Baron and War Wolf. On its way to find the Wolf King's corpse, it said to Thunder Serpent, "What's with that expression on your face?"
Those wolves probably won't bother us anymore..."

Razer glanced in the direction of the wolf pack and said with a serious expression, "Wolves hold grudges!"

Such a large wolf pack hasn't been seen in a long time...

Their willingness to attack people indicates that they have tasted pleasure from humans.

Kerry Cantona certainly wasn't the first person to be attacked by wolves. I quickly went back and called the surrounding villages to ask...

If someone is attacked by a pack of wolves, I have to find a way to disperse them, otherwise they will become a disaster.

Upon hearing this, the mountain eagle frowned and said, "Disaster? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Razer glanced at Mountain Eagle and scoffed, "Do you know why almost all herders hate wolves?"

The mountain eagle laughed as it flew along, saying, "Because wolves kill the shepherds' sheep..."

Mountain Eagle's nonsense made Razer shake his head and chuckle. He glanced at the two children on the sled and said, "Very few people dislike ferocious beasts like lions and tigers..."

Because a true predator will only kill the prey it needs if it doesn't encounter any threats or stimuli.

Once wolves enter the sheepfold, even if they can't eat them all or take them with them, they will kill as many sheep as possible.

Wolves are cunning, and they are also greedy. They will show no mercy to the weak!

Wolf attacks have occurred in Alaska and Canada, with packs of strong wolves raiding ranches and killing livestock. They also attack human villages and attempt to kill everyone in sight…

Razer took a deep breath and said, "I experienced this once forty years ago!"
That time, I witnessed firsthand how a village was destroyed and attacked by wolves, preventing them from going out to hunt or keep warm. Most of the elderly and weak eventually froze and starved to death in their own homes.

Some so-called scholars say that this is wolves competing with humans for living space...

Perhaps they're right, but as a hunter, I feel that any animal that poses a threat to humans deserves to die!

Mountain Eagle keeps many animals, but he himself is by no means an animal rights activist...

After listening to what Razer had to say, Mountain Eagle nodded, then looked back at Yue Yi, who was sitting on the sled listening intently. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If you want to break up the wolf pack through hunting, then I'm willing to bring my child along to help."

As the mountain eagle followed the trail of blood on the snow, it found the wolf king, who had already breathed his last, and a gray wolf that, due to its broken front leg and excessive blood loss, could only lie on the snow, barely clinging to life...

Seeing the gray wolf, barely clinging to life, baring its teeth at him, Mountain Eagle decisively drew his pistol and fired another shot into the wolf's head, then dragged the massive wolf king out of a pile of rocks...

Just as Mountain Eagle drew his knife, preparing to skin the wolves on the spot, Razer suddenly said, "Take these gray wolf carcasses back..."

The wolf pack is still mostly intact; whether they dare to retaliate is a crucial indicator of whether a 'wolf plague' is imminent!

As he spoke, Razer bent down, grabbed the wolf king's head, and examined it closely. He said in a deep voice, "If they come looking for us, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble..."
