Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 866 Collection
Blood Fox lay prone in the bushes a few hundred meters away, watching several surviving Azov battalion gunners standing there, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

He glanced back at Mountain Eagle, who was sitting next to him making a phone call, and said, "Why don't we just take out the rest?"

Mountain Eagle hung up the emergency call, shook his head, and said, "They're all dead. Who are the police investigating? Who went to deliver messages to the 'Bayonet Gang'?"

I've been reading the newspapers lately, and the situation in Romania is very unstable...

Their former prime minister attempted suicide, and the mayor of Bucharest was accused of embezzling €6, sparking massive protests with demonstrators even demanding the current prime minister's resignation.

I don't have the time or ability to understand the situation in Romania in detail, but their current turmoil is definitely caused by someone with ulterior motives.

There must be NGOs mobilizing and manipulating those large-scale protests.

This year is an election year for Romania, and as the country with the fastest economic growth in the EU in the past, it is difficult for them to escape external interference...

If I were a Romanian official, I would be furious, and what I would need most at that moment is to find a suitable target to strike.

The Azov Battalion, or those masquerading as the Azov Battalion, have a long history of involvement in coups and color revolutions in other countries…

Once they are caught by the Romanian authorities, the "Bayonet Gang," which provides them with housing and supplies, will certainly also face a crackdown.

We're too short-handed. Breaking into the 'Bayonet Gang's' territory and taking down their leader is too risky for us. Using official channels to give the 'Bayonet Gang' a good bet will make our next move easier.

Looking at the mountain eagle's nonchalant expression, Blood Fox frowned and said, "Is there something I don't know?"
It's just a gang; your personality isn't such that you'd complicate things for them.

Are you in such a hurry to muddy the waters because there's an enemy I don't know about?

Through the drone, Mountain Eagle saw police cars approaching the burning warehouse in the distance. He stood up, pulled Blood Fox aside, and nodded, saying, "I can't be sure, but Sophia reminded me..."

Iberia is our enemy, but this guy couldn't have set up such a trap across borders by himself, one that could catch all the Arctic foxes. He must have accomplices. There aren't many people or organizations with this capability, and some of my enemies happen to be among them.

Therefore, I need to be cautious, stir things up a bit, and create enough turmoil to offset some of the opponent's advantages.

If the Romanian authorities were just a little more cooperative, we could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle turned and walked away, saying, "We're going to meet up with Chickpea and the others. Only after we've all been sent away can our operation in Romania truly begin."

Before going to Syria, we must find out how much power Iberia has consolidated and what makes him think he can compete with a warlord who fights with planes and cannons.

Only by understanding these things can we make targeted preparations.

We still have a lot to do!

Blood Fox stood up and followed Mountain Eagle, saying with a gloomy expression, "Then let's do it!"
My mind isn't entirely clear right now, but I'm still a good soldier...

"Mountain Eagle, you're the boss now. Just tell us what to do, and we'll do it."

Mountain Eagle drove through the bushes to the parking spot, started the car, deliberately turned off the headlights, and then followed a pre-surveyed path, passing by the approaching police convoy. After taking a short detour, he got onto Highway 5.

Guided by Blood Fox, Mountain Eagle circled the outskirts of Bucharest, then the two had breakfast in a remote and peaceful town. After packing some food, they drove to a closed veterinary clinic.

The veterinary clinic is located on the outskirts of the town. It consists of a somewhat dilapidated old stone house and a sizable courtyard.

On both sides of the veterinary hall, there are some shops related to animal husbandry, but the mountain eagle couldn't tell what they did because the shops were all written in Romanian.

Because it was early morning, the area around the veterinary clinic was very quiet. Blood Fox got out of the car first and knocked on the door of the veterinary clinic using a special code...

The gate opened quickly, and the elk breathed a slight sigh of relief as he watched the blood fox return unharmed. Then, seeing the mountain eagle getting out of the car, the old man stepped forward to help carry the packed breakfast into the veterinary clinic…

"Mountain Eagle, I knew you would come..."

Mountain Eagle couldn't help but sigh and said, "Although I'm not a combatant with the Arctic Foxes, as the manager of the pension fund, I have to look after you old men..."

You can't die!

The elk was clearly in better condition than the blood fox. The old man picked up a cup of hot coffee, took a sip, then patted the mountain eagle on the shoulder and said, "Although I don't know what's happening outside, I have a feeling that things are very bad."

I don't need to know too much; I just need to know who the enemy is!

As he spoke, the elk glanced at Galahad, who was walking over, and shook his head slightly, saying, "This old man's dream was shattered by his own comrades. If you need him, he can be a very good helper."

Mountain Eagle glanced at Galahad, whose face was somewhat ashen, and at a young man who looked familiar beside the old man. He stepped forward, hugged Galahad, and said, "I'm very sorry..."

Galahad shook his head, grabbed Mountain Eagle's arm, and said with a gloomy face, "I just want to know what happened."
Blood Fox and the others said that the problem was within Arctic Fox, but I don't think it's just a problem with Arctic Fox..." Mountain Eagle nodded in agreement with Galahad's statement, because if it really was just a problem with Arctic Fox, Iberis had no reason to include the newly established 'Holy Grail Knights' in its attack scope.

It's important to know that the 'Holy Grail Knights' were formed by four former SBS members who had left the Knights of the Round Table. They were not only powerful fighters, but also experienced and well-connected.

Including them in your attack range is practically asking for trouble.

The only reasonable explanation is that the 'Grand Knights' were involved in something that made them the targets for elimination.

Attacking the 'jackal' was certainly not the reason for their extermination, so the only remaining explanation is the failed operation near Baghdad.

What exactly happened there was still unknown to Mountain Eagle, but he had no time for a deep discussion with Galahad at the moment, because he heard Tiffany's exclamation coming from inside the room...

Mountain Eagle strode into the room and saw Tiffany holding Chickpea's shoulder to prevent him from getting up, while Eagle Claw was injecting a sedative into Chickpea's arm through an IV tube...

The medication took effect quickly. Before losing consciousness, Chickpea stared intently at Mountain Eagle and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are the others still alive?"

Mountain Eagle walked over and grasped Chickpea's arm. After a moment's hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure yet..."

All I know is that 'Bullhead' died, he went to Belarus, and then was betrayed there.

Iberis is that traitor!

Upon hearing the name Iberis, Chickpea looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself, "'Bullhead' warned us long ago..."

Iberia, Iberia...

This guy killed his own comrade...

Why should we trust someone like that?

Seeing that Chickpea had fallen into a deep sleep under the influence of the sedative, Mountain Eagle went to check on the other two wounded soldiers, 'Scorpion' and 'Ham'...

Scorpion was shot in the abdomen, while Ham was in more serious condition, shot in the lung. Although the bullet was removed by Eagle Claw, his condition remained unstable due to the treatment environment.

These two guys were the first to support Mountain Eagle's "Arctic Fox Descendants Mutual Aid Network." "Ham" even contributed most of his savings, allowing his wife to purchase a bed and breakfast and join Mountain Eagle's mutual aid program.

Looking at the condition of the two, Mountain Eagle sighed and said to the team doctor, Eagle Claw, who was clearly sleep-deprived, "Can they move?"

I've arranged a private plane; we need to get them to a safe hospital immediately.

Eagle Claw scratched his bald head and said with a wry smile, "Theoretically, it's best not to move them, but leaving them here is definitely more dangerous."

We have a truck here, I'll go get it ready..."

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "The plane belongs to Anna. She will take Chickpea and the others to a hospital in Moscow for treatment. They can rest assured and recover without worry."

As Mountain Eagle spoke, the pale-faced 'Ham' waved to him and said in a hoarse voice, "Mountain Eagle, how is my family doing?"

Mountain Eagle walked over and shook 'Ham's' hand, nodding and saying, "Don't worry, your wife and children are fine. After the incident, I notified them to move to Thailand. My wife and children are there too..."

Upon hearing this, 'Ham' gripped Mountain Eagle's hand tightly and said, "Thank you!"

As he spoke of 'ham,' he shifted his gaze and said in a somewhat desperate tone, "The Arctic foxes are finished, aren't they?"

Mountain Eagle sensed Ham's frustration and despair. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Whether Arctic Fox is finished depends on how well you can recover."

More importantly, it depends on whether you have the determination to get Arctic Fox back on track.

Don't get it wrong. It's the hard work and victories of many top fighters like you that have made Arctic Fox what it is today, not the other way around.

As long as you live, the Arctic foxes will live!

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle turned to look at Eagle Claw, who was holding the tranquilizer, and nodded slightly…

After 'Ham' and 'Scorpion' also fell into a coma, he looked at Tiffany and Lilith, who were standing to the side with a worried expression, and said in a deep voice, "We'll stay here to make some noise and attract the enemy's attention. You two are responsible for escorting them onto the plane and accompanying them to Moscow for treatment."

Upon hearing this, Tiffany glanced worriedly at her father, 'Camel,' whose complexion had been rather poor. She shook her head and said, "Boss, let Lilith accompany them to the move. I'll stay and help..."

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "You're the head of the rescue team. If you don't even know where your responsibilities lie, there's no need for you to stay!"
Take care of the three of them. Once they've settled down, I have more important things for you to do!
