Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 831 Recruits
The children were given important responsibilities for the first time, so they were very enthusiastic...

Zach, being the strongest of the children, was given the task of harvesting the fruits of their labor!
As Zack, wearing a headlamp and wielding a hastily made spear, charged into the darkness, Xiao Wan stood in the first-floor living room, hesitating several times before glaring angrily at the mountain eagle cheering on the child. She then picked up a UMP45, went to the window, and opened it to let the cold wind rush into the house…

Seeing Luna rubbing her nose and sneezing like a fool, Xiao Wan kicked her son, who wasn't afraid of the cold, in the bottom and scolded, "Go upstairs and put on some clothes, or you'll deserve to freeze to death..."

Yue Yi wanted to say that he wasn't cold at all, but faced with his mother's fierce gaze, he reluctantly grabbed a piece of clothing and tossed it to Luna. Then he carried the youngest, Ava, to the fireplace and wrapped her in a cloak-like thermal coat...

Then, avoiding his mother's scrutinizing gaze, he walked along the wall, holding a flashlight, to the doorway...

"Crack, crack..."

The moment Yue stepped out the door, Tiffany and the others opened fire...

The UMP45 with a silencer is very quiet when it fires, which is not enough to deter wolf packs, but the .45 hollow-point bullets are powerful enough.

Two wolves that tried to attack Zack were repelled. One of them, with a leg injury, was blocked by Baron, who had returned with four war wolves.

"Woo, woo..."

Just as Zack reached the gray wolf, who was being held captive by two Malinois and a Doberman Pinscher, and raised his spear to stab it, the howls of the wolf pack rang out from the east, followed by the cry of 'Hummingbird' over the radio...

"A pack of wolves, more than twenty..."

At the same time, loud gunfire erupted from the firing position on the second floor...

Because there is no cover for hundreds of meters to the east, and the other side of the snowfield is a forest, powerful weapons can be used without restraint...

"boom"

"boom"

The gunfire from the Barrett and Remington 700 rifles instantly echoed throughout the village, and at the same time, the wolf pack inside the village began to stir...

Zach heard the call of the mountain eagle on the porch. He decisively plunged his spear into the bodies of the two wolves, and after they were too weak to struggle, he bravely dragged one of the wolves by its hind legs toward the door of the cabin.

Mountain Eagle saw more wolves emerge from the shadows of the village. He restrained the restless Yue Yi and told him to stay at the door to provide backup. Then he stepped out and shot the wounded wolf that Balang had blocked. He then threw a stun grenade into the distance, scaring the wolves that had come out to pounce back.

As Mountain Eagle strode over to Zack, he laughed and grabbed another wolf by the neck, pulling Zack's 'trophy' to the door of the cabin together.

At that moment, Baron also dragged the wolf that had been shot back...

Xiao Wan watched in disbelief as her son took a small knife and, under the guidance of the mountain eagle, clumsily began to attempt to gut the wolf...

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Wan leaned against the window, watching her husband mess around with their son and adopted son. She said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you wanted to cultivate a sense of responsibility?"

What is this?

Yue Yi wiped his face, looked up at his mother, and said, "Mom, Razer said the wolf plague will make many people go hungry. These wolves want to eat people and make the villagers go hungry, so we'll eat them..."

Xiao Wan stared at the wolf's disemboweled body, its intestines spilling onto the ground. Suppressing her discomfort, she glared at the mountain eagle who was instructing Zack on how to skin the wolf, and angrily said, "I shouldn't have listened to you..."

Mountain Eagle was genuinely unaware of the children's plan, and even less did he imagine that they would target these wolves, intending to use the hunt to provide the villagers with an extra meal...

Just then, the wolf pack broke through the eastern defensive line...

The griffin and the cardinal's two guns could not stop the rapidly advancing wolf pack. A dozen gray wolves broke through the pre-established cordon and approached the cabin.

"Watch out, the wolves are charging..."

Seeing his son looking somewhat lost, Mountain Eagle laughed and stood up, ripped out the wolf's entrails and threw them outside. Then he herded the two wolf carcasses, along with the children, into the house...

Seeing her boss's actions, Tiffany bent down, grabbed the body Baron had dragged back, threw it into the house, slammed the door shut, and loudly ordered Lilith and Marta to guard both sides of the corridor...

By this time, the two Malinois and the Doberman Pinscher, who had already drawn blood, were completely excited. Without needing to be propelled by the people behind them, they charged towards the right side of the cabin to meet the oncoming gray wolves, while Baron led several war wolves to the other side...

"Hoo, hoo..."

The sounds of wild beasts clashing were incredibly exciting; the violent roars and screams that erupted in the darkness only amplified the brutality of the confrontation.

"fuck..."

Tiffany and Lilith watched with guns raised as Baron and Wolfman clashed with the wolfhounds. She tried to shoot several times, but couldn't find the right opportunity...

On the other side, Mountain Eagle glanced at the anxious Marta beside him, drew his pistol, then used his foot to pick up the hastily made spear by Zack, and jumped over the railing on the right side of the corridor into the snow...

On the right is a four-against-five situation, with two Malinois and two Dobermans showing great enthusiasm, but they start to suffer when the situation becomes close combat.

North American gray wolves are quite large. Although the two Malinois had been bitten by their father and completed their molting process, they were not yet fully grown and were at a disadvantage almost immediately. If it weren't for their vests protecting them, they might already be injured. The two Dobermans were fierce, but they lacked some of their wildness. When the fight really started, they always seemed somewhat hesitant.

The four of them should have no problem holding off five gray wolves, but no matter how much the mountain eagle wanted to train its cubs, it couldn't just stand by and watch its dogs suffer.

The moment he charged into the fray, a gray wolf dropped Shuke's back, its limbs springing up as it slithered several meters across the ground before swooping down on the mountain eagle with bared teeth...

The moment the wolf leaped, the eagle's right-hand spear shot up like a venomous dragon, viciously piercing the wolf's belly, lifting it up and slamming it into the corridor amidst Marta's scream...

Having landed a successful blow, Mountain Eagle snapped at the stunned Marta, ordering her to finish off the gray wolf. Then, he stepped forward again and forcefully swung his heavy spear, striking a gray wolf on the back...

The incredibly resilient wooden pole, arched in the air by the eagle's immense strength, slammed into the gray wolf's back with a terrifying whistle...

The wooden pole snapped the moment it made contact with the wolf's back. The gray wolf let out a piercing howl. Its broken spine caused the second half of its body to lose all strength, and it could only lie limply on the ground...

The dagger at the tip of the spear struck the gray wolf's side due to inertia, leaving a bloody gash before disappearing into the snow.

Beta, who had been suppressed, turned the tables and bit the gray wolf's neck. He shook his body violently and used the force of the shaking to tear open the gray wolf's neck.

After succeeding, Beta returned to the fray, helping Big Doberman Friday subdue a gray wolf...

Seeing Marta's terrified expression, Mountain Eagle put away his pistol, strode over to Shuke, grabbed the gray wolf by the neck, lifted it up, and slammed its head heavily against the outer wall of the cabin...

A crisp "crack" sound...

The gray wolf let out a whimper and collapsed limply to the ground...

Now it's four against two, and these 'greenhorns' have finally gained the upper hand.

The remaining two gray wolves were terrified. They struggled desperately to break free from the combined grip of the Belgian Malinois and the Doberman Pinscher, but no matter how frantically they bit and scratched, they couldn't stop the four 'recruits' who were now completely aroused...

Seeing that the situation was under control, Mountain Eagle picked up one dead gray wolf in each hand and threw their carcasses onto the corridor...

Seeing Marta's surprised expression, Mountain Eagle snapped his fingers in front of her and said, "Hey, focus..."

Marta wasn't unfamiliar with combat, but this kind of close-quarters fighting between humans and wild beasts still terrified her...

The lethality and destructiveness her boss had displayed in just a few minutes sent shivers down her spine.

Looking into the eagle's bright eyes, Marta couldn't help but ask, "What am I going to do?"

Mountain Eagle waved his hand in front of Marta's eyes and said irritably, "If you're free, then gut the carcass, throw away the entrails, and bring it into the house for Zack and the others to skin and butcher. Tomorrow at dawn, distribute the wolf meat to the villagers."

You're responsible!

Upon hearing this, Marta pointed to her own nose and said, "Me, take responsibility?"

Mountain Eagle wiped Marta's face with his wolf-blood-stained hand, then grinned and said, "Your performance was terrible, so from now on you're in the children's group."

If they don't do a good job, then they'll be responsible for washing the floor every day from now on..."

Without giving Marta a chance to retort, Mountain Eagle turned back to the battle group and looked at a gray wolf that was now completely under control. He raised his 48-size foot and stomped on the wolf's neck.

After stomping on the last wolf in the same way, he called to his four victorious 'recruits' and had them drag the wolf carcass to the door of the cabin.

At the same time, several gunshots rang out from the left side of the cabin. With Tiffany and Lilith bravely joining the fray, the battle on Baron's side came to an end...

Back on the veranda of the cabin, Tiffany watched as the mountain eagle gutted a gray wolf, put its entrails into a plastic bucket, and then carried the wolf carcass into the cabin…

The strong woman couldn't help but sigh and said, "Boss, how can anyone live in this house if it's like this?"

The mountain eagle deliberately wanted to create a harsh environment. Faced with Tiffany's complaints, he smiled maliciously and said, "As long as you clean diligently, the smell problem can be solved..."

Don't just stand there, drag over the wolf carcasses you killed...

I'd only ever heard that wolf meat was "heaty" (causing internal heat), but this time I'm going to try it for myself.

Tiffany looked at her boss, whose tone and demeanor were completely different from before. She exchanged a glance with Lilith, then couldn't help but complain, "Boss, I think you should just go get some sleep..."

The wolf attack is dangerous, but I think you pose a greater threat to us!

The mountain eagle said with a smile, "Nonsense, I call it daring to try!"
"The Inuit people can eat wolf meat, why can't you?"

Tiffany really wanted to bring up the issue of parasites, but seeing her boss's enthusiastic expression, she obediently kept quiet...
