Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 865 Muddy Waters

Mountain Eagle had no interest in how Blood Fox interrogated him. He hung up on Anna and was about to get up and return to the warehouse when his phone rang again…

Seeing that it was 'Jaws' Sofia calling, Mountain Eagle answered and said, "Is there any news?"

Sofia, the "Great White Shark," paused for a few seconds on the other end of the phone before saying in a heavy tone, "I sent someone to check with Belarus..."

A massive explosion occurred at a factory on the outskirts of Brest, a city on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border, and firefighters have yet to fully bring the fire under control.

However, I had someone check 'Bullhead's' visa and passport information, and he did indeed transit through Ukraine to Belarus a week ago.

Bianca discovered that 'Bullhead' had received a batch of weapons in Brest through an arms bank.

Sofia, the "Great White Shark," gave Mountain Eagle a moment to process what she was saying before continuing, "I had someone check out the Arctic Fox recruitment site that was posted online, and there was no one there at all, only a corpse preserved in an ice coffin..."

Upon hearing this, the mountain eagle closed its eyes helplessly and said, "It's 'Silver Fox,' right?"

Sophia said in a heavy voice on the other end of the phone, "Yes, boss, do you need me to take 'Silver Fox's' body back?"

Through an autopsy, we can at least determine how he died.

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment and said, "Find a way to send the body to Thailand for preservation. Once we've finished what we're doing, I'll have Tiffany and the others send 'Silver Fox's' body home."

This guy trusted the wrong person, but he's still an Arctic fox. He's stuck to his principles for so many years, and he won't lose a single thing that belongs to him.

After thinking for a moment, Mountain Eagle said in a deep voice, "Sophia, have someone keep an eye on that factory. The fire can't destroy everything..."

If there are corpses inside, I need the DNA of every single one. I must know exactly how many Arctic Foxes died, and whether Iberia was the only traitor.

"no problem!"

Great White Shark Sofia readily agreed to Mountain Eagle's request, then said, "Boss, your wife and Tessa have both arrived in Thailand..."

The situation is unclear now, so I suggest you bring back Mr. Poincaré and the core members of the Financial Office as well.

This way I can concentrate my efforts on protecting them!

Sophia paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Boss, should we continue with the revenge operation?"
Mihajlovic has identified several members of the Kalbin family within the Edward Foundation, and they have already begun deployments in Hungary…

Currently, it appears we have an opportunity to dismantle several surrogacy facilities and organ farms!

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle said in a deep voice, "I haven't heard from those lunatics for a while. Let them continue and make things bigger."

There's been a period of silence in Mexico. If we don't make any noise, they might think that because of the Arctic Fox incident, I've given up on retaliation.

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then slapped his forehead forcefully and said, "That Iberius couldn't have caused such a scene by himself; someone must have been there to help him..."

Sophia, the Great White Shark, was very clever. She instantly realized something and said in a deep voice, "Boss, do you mean that Iberia has connections with the Edward Foundation?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but if that guy is smart, he should understand the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

The drug cartels in Mexico are currently preoccupied with their own problems, and Vincent in Europe has also disappeared. If I were him, I would definitely contact the Edward Foundation and offer to kill me in exchange for their help.

"I don't believe this guy, a mercenary, could have orchestrated such a massive network spanning several countries, and almost wiped out Blood Fox and the Holy Grail Knights in one fell swoop."

Mountain Eagle shook his head helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now..."

Upon hearing this, Great White Shark Sophia said in a deep voice, "Boss, it's not too late!"

If your guess is true, then you need to be careful!
You post pictures of Edward Foundation prisoners online to humiliate them. Once they have a partnership with Iberia, they will soon know that you have arrived in Romania, and it is even possible that their people have been waiting for you in Romania all along.

Boss, watch out for the Demon Gang!

Most people didn't even know this team existed before; you exposed them, and they won't let this go!

"I see!"

With a face as still as water, Mountain Eagle nodded, hung up the phone, and then, as if by magic, produced two C4 bombs and headed towards the warehouse...

When he reached the door, he grabbed two corpses, one in each hand, and walked through the warehouse gate.

The moment he entered, he smelled a distinct stench of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder...

When he reached the campfire, he discovered that the two prisoners were dead. One of them had half his face ripped off, and the other had a dagger stuck in each of his thighs. The uneven cement pit on the ground was filled with blood...

Blood Fox sat on the ground with his blood-soaked hands. When he saw Mountain Eagle approaching, he stood up with some difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "They are mercenaries. A month and a half ago, someone hired them to come to Romania through an intermediary called 'White Whale.' The 'Knights of the Round Table' were also hired with them."

However, the Knights of the Round Table had their own safe houses, so they didn't stay here with them. The users of the tents and RVs nearby were from the Azov Battalion in eastern Ukraine.

They said the Aszonic camp arrived before them…

Mountain Eagle glanced at the two corpses, then said with some uncertainty, "A month and a half ago?"

Does that mean the Arctic Fox's 'failure' in Iraq was orchestrated?
Does this mean that Iberia had planned everything all along?

Blood Fox shook his head and said, "I don't know. These two guys obviously don't know much. I actually want to meet that 'White Whale' more. He definitely knows more."

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "It's not difficult to contact that 'White Whale,' but it's a bit difficult to meet with the top bigwigs among these middlemen. Getting them to betray their employer would require a huge price."

I'll think of a solution to this after some time...

Our most important task right now is to clear things up in Romania, eliminate the known enemies first, and then we can consider other issues later.

The phone call 'Bullhead' made to me before he died made everything simple. Instead of wasting time on other people, I should keep an eye on Iberia; finding him would provide the answers to all my questions!

Blood Fox nodded slightly and said, "You're right, but finding Iberis won't be easy..."

The mountain eagle thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's not as difficult as you think..."

Iberia spent a lot of money, using international intermediary companies to recruit a large number of mercenaries to enter the border area between Syria and Iraq.

There's a guy called 'Jackal' who's waging an extreme war on terror there, and he's put Isis in such a predicament that they can't get much outside help.

Iberia spent money to hire many mercenaries, with the aim of fighting the "jackal" to the death in the name of "revenge".

And judging from his demeanor, he seemed quite confident in taking down that 'jackal' and then claiming the large bounty for him.

Blood Fox's information channels had been cut off for a long time, and he also had no sources within the international intermediary company, so he was unaware of this intelligence...

After hearing what Mountain Eagle said, Blood Fox perked up and nodded, saying, "Go and drag all the corpses over. I'll prepare a surprise for those Azov soldiers."

After things are settled in Romania, I will go to Syria...

I want to ask Ibilis myself, why did you betray your comrades?

Mountain Eagle had no intention of stopping Blood Fox. He needed to give him something to look forward to, otherwise, given the old man's current mental state, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Nodding in approval of Blood Fox's idea, Mountain Eagle volunteered to do the hard work, gathering the twelve corpses in the warehouse and then making arrangements according to Blood Fox's requirements...

It was late at night when the two left the warehouse, but they didn't go far. Instead, they rested in the car for a few hours.

The group that surrounded Blood Fox in the city center wasted a lot of time searching the city.

After failing to achieve their goal, they finally withdrew from the city center under pressure from the Bucharest police just before dawn and returned to their camp to rest.

But when they returned to the warehouse, they were not greeted with food and sleep, but with an extremely fierce fire.

Because it was nighttime, and the Azov battalion and the mercenaries in the warehouse were not subordinate to each other, there had been little interaction between the two sides for some time, except for necessary exchanges.

The Azov mercenaries, having worked all day without success, drove their vehicles directly to the warehouse gate, unaware that the gate, which was usually guarded, was empty today.

After the dozens of people got off the bus, exhausted, and entered the warehouse, they realized that something was wrong.

The pungent smell of smoke bombs and the lingering firefight had not completely dissipated, and the eerie sight of twelve corpses sitting around the campfire instantly put the Azov mercenaries on edge.

The scarred, bearded man leading the group shouted for his companions to grab their weapons. Some of them stood their ground and formed a defensive position, while others followed him into the warehouse, wanting to find out what had happened.

Just as the scarred-bearded man led his team closer to the eerie corpses and ordered his companions not to move the bodies to avoid triggering the traps, a series of explosions came from the top of the warehouse...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Immediately afterwards, four large oil drums hanging from the top exploded, engulfing the entire warehouse in flames and trapping everyone in the inferno.

Two oil drums rolled down from the circular top of the warehouse and landed precisely in the middle of the convoy at the gate. The drums exploded the moment they hit the ground, sealing off the warehouse exit and turning several gunmen who were using the convoy as a defensive barrier into human torches.

"what……"

The men who were set on fire screamed in agony and began running around like headless flies, but they quickly suffocated from inhaling the thick smoke and were then burned to charred, curled-up corpses...
