Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 871 The Dead
Galahad and Blood Fox, both over sixty years old, showed no signs of aging at this moment...

Galahad quickly reached the end of the 30-meter-long alley with small, quick steps, then peeked left and right.

At that moment, the eagle, who had been following closely behind, patted Galahad hard on the shoulder, signaling him to crouch down, and then shouted, "Right side, ten seconds, there are five of them..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle gripped a stun grenade in his hand, glanced back at Blood Fox who had moved to the other side of the alley to find a firing angle, and shouted, "Fire after the stun grenade explodes, then we'll break through and kill them all..."

Blood Fox rarely saw Mountain Eagle display such murderous intent. He nodded slightly, controlled his gun with his left hand, and leaned outwards in a somewhat awkward lunge position, his body pressed against the wall...

The moment the enemy's gun barrel peeked out from around the corner of the alley on the right, Blood Fox instantly turned around and took a half-step back...

"Prepare……"

Mountain Eagle kept a close eye on the group through the drone. When the last member of the five-person team entered the twenty-meter-long alley, he pulled the safety on the stun grenade, held it in his hand for about a second, and then forcefully threw it into the alley.

Because it was thrown quite high, the stun grenade exploded at a height of about one and a half meters as it fell from the sky.

With a deafening roar, the loud noise even produced a metallic clanging sound within the alleyway, while a blinding flash of light briefly blinded the opponent.

The moment the stun grenade exploded, Blood Fox darted out like a fat cat, disappeared around the corner of the alley, and then, with his left hand gripping the gun against the left wall, quickly pulled the trigger.

Galahad, who was crouching on the ground, also adopted the posture of holding the gun in his left hand. He used his right foot as a pivot, pushed off with his left foot, and spun around the corner with his right shoulder...

"Clap clap clap..."

"Clap clap clap..."

The two old men didn't even give Mountain Eagle a chance to fire before swiftly taking down five enemies.

Immediately after the kill, Bloodfox rushed forward to finish off the target while shouting into the radio, "Mountain Eagle, let's go! Galahad, cover us! Eddie, Robin, follow up..."

Mountain Eagle rushed around the corner and caught up with Blood Fox. He watched as the old man deftly finished off several Indian gunmen as he passed by, then snatched the AK74Us and several magazines from their hands...

"What are you doing? Do you think you haven't carried enough?"

Blood Fox didn't answer Mountain Eagle's question. He quickly rushed to the next intersection, then stopped at the corner and looked at Mountain Eagle...

The mountain eagle, understanding immediately, quickly followed and said, "Three intersections, eight people, let's continue..."

Bloodfox wasn't used to the combination of tactical goggles and the drone's situational awareness capabilities. After confirming that Mountain Eagle could lock onto the enemy's position, the old man glanced back at Eddie and Robin, who had already retreated into the alley, and shouted, "Eddie, Robin, cover us! Galahad, can you still run?"

Galahad didn't speak, but responded to Blood Fox's question with swift movement. As he passed several corpses, the old man also picked up an AK74U and a few magazines, then moved behind Blood Fox, pushing Mountain Eagle into third place...

"You're in charge of reporting our positions and covering our weak flanks..."

Partnering with a bunch of old men, Mountain Eagle couldn't be as aggressive and ruthless as he was when working with Butcher and his gang. Faced with Galahad's request, Mountain Eagle readily agreed and said, "There are eight men on the left side of the next intersection. Once we engage them, the enemy will flank us from the 12 o'clock position..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle pulled out a smoke grenade and said, "You guys handle the left side, I'll deal with the enemy at the 12 o'clock position..."

Blood Fox listened, then turned and exchanged a glance with Galahad. After receiving a confirming look, the old man quickly rushed towards the next intersection...

The distance was 30 meters, and it only took six or seven seconds. When the two old men were in position, one was lying on the ground and the other was pressed against the corner of the wall.

Looking at their somewhat guerrilla-like appearance, Mountain Eagle pulled the pin on a smoke grenade and threw it directly into the alleyway across the intersection...

"Bang..."

The moment the smoke grenade landed and rolled, the two old men simultaneously pushed their AK74Us sideways, one higher and one lower, and pulled the triggers, firing a burst of bullets into the alleyway on the left...

"Change magazine..."

Standing, Blood Fox had more control over his gun, so he fired faster. He was the first to empty a magazine, shouted, picked up a full magazine, quickly flipped the latch, and then pushed the empty magazine out and into the magazine well...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

As Blood Fox fired again, Galahad, who was lying on the ground, retreated slightly, quickly reloaded a full magazine, and then, taking advantage of the enemy being suppressed, crouched down, pressed his body against the corner of the wall, and quickly pulled the trigger...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Mountain Eagle couldn't see what was happening in the alleyway on the left with the naked eye, but through the drone, he could clearly see that the eight gunmen coming from the left were being brutally beaten by the two old men...

There was nowhere to hide in the narrow alley, which was less than two meters wide. The two old men easily controlled the spread of their AK74Us, bringing all the enemies into their firing range.

The firepower wasn't exactly fierce, but the timing and angle of their shots were too cunning. Especially when Galahad crouched down and leaned out to fire, the enemy's sporadic counterattacks were also stopped.

After a brief exchange of fire, three men on the left retreated to the corner, leaving behind three corpses and two seriously wounded. After using precise fire to kill the two wounded men on the ground, Mountain Eagle shouted, "12 o'clock, 4 men..."

"Papa, papa..."

Mountain Eagle rhythmically pulled the trigger, and several bullets instantly struck the corner of a wall at a distant intersection. The shattered bricks startled a guy who had just peeked out...

To the mountain eagle's surprise, the startled fellow staggered forward and darted around the corner...

Mountain Eagle would never let such a good opportunity slip by. He decisively turned the muzzle of his gun, and the armor-piercing rounds fired from the AK-105 struck the man's body repeatedly, causing him to sit on the ground in pain...

Just as Mountain Eagle was about to finish him off with a shot to the head, a bullet struck his chest... The sudden blunt force didn't cause Mountain Eagle any harm, but it startled him.

Looking through the thermal imager, about 60 meters away, a guy, just like Galahad before, was crouching in a corner with a slightly sneaky posture, only the muzzle of his gun and half of his head showing...

Realizing something was wrong, Mountain Eagle decisively pulled the trigger and launched a counterattack, suppressing the dangerous enemy. He then shouted to Blood Fox and the others, "Enter the alley, go left..."

Eddie and Robin, follow up and take turns suppressing them..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle charged forward a few steps, switched his gun to his left hand, and, using the corner of the intersection as cover, began rhythmic suppression...

"Clap clap clap, clap clap clap..."

Blood Fox and Galahad simultaneously charged into the left alleyway, suppressing the remaining two gunmen on the left while covering Mountain Eagle's flank...

Eddie and Robin used a rolling motion, taking turns approaching the battleground.

When Eddie reached Mountain Eagle's side, he suppressed the distant enemy with precise bursts of fire. With the pressure greatly reduced, Mountain Eagle took the opportunity to change magazines and pried out a deformed bullet by tapping his abdomen...

"Fuck, 7.62mm bullets, judging from the sound, it should be an FN-SCAR. Even with smoke grenades as cover, he still managed to hit me. Be careful, they might have special equipment..."

As the mountain eagle reloaded and prepared to retaliate, Galahad suddenly turned around and switched places with Robin, who had entered the alleyway on their side, returning to the corner of the intersection...

He glanced at the Mountain Eagle, who didn't seem injured, and shouted, "It's Geraint! That guy has rabbit ears. I'll stay here and hold them off. You guys go support Blood Fox..."

"Rabbit ears?"

Mountain Eagle exchanged a glance with Eddie beside him, then grinned, pulled a stun grenade from his person, and threw it forcefully...

The stun grenade passed through the smoke, flew more than 20 meters, and exploded upon landing...

Mountain Eagle watched the commotion in the distance through the drone. One guy was curled up in a corner, covering his ears in pain. The other two had also given up the idea of ​​attacking and seemed to want to retreat with the guy.

Mountain Eagle decisively patted Eddie on the shoulder and shouted, "Go support Blood Fox..."

He nodded to Galahad and then charged into the mist first.

Having passed through the thick, foul-smelling smoke, the mountain eagle dropped another bombshell the moment it reached the corner.

"boom"

As the explosion occurred, Galahad rushed into the street to his left before Mountain Eagle could reach him and pulled the trigger on three men who were clearly unsteady on their feet...

This is no longer an inner alleyway; pedestrians are still running and crying on the street, and police sirens can be heard approaching in the distance.

Two dark-skinned Indian gunmen fell first, then Galahad shot the old man who was still covering his ears with his hands, then rushed up to him, grabbed his bulletproof vest by the chest, and stared at him for a few seconds...

Seeing his former comrade in such a disheveled state, Galahad dropped his AK74U, pulled out a pistol, and pressed it against Galahad's forehead, saying with a pained expression, "See you in hell..."

The bald, red-nosed, and contorted-faced Geraint looked at Galahad, smiled with relief, and nodded, saying, "I can't hear what you're saying, Galahad. Don't let me die at the hands of others..."

"boom"

Galahad pulled the trigger on his old comrade's chest, then forcefully ripped the dog tag off his neck, stood up, looked at Mountain Eagle, and said, "One man left..."

"call out"

The moment Galahad spoke, a bullet struck him in the chest...
.
The moment the .338 Magnum bullet hit, Galahad's chest magazine vibrated, and then the old man was pushed backward by the force of the bullet and fell to the ground...

Startled, Mountain Eagle quickly retreated into the alleyway, pointing his gun at the direction from which the bullets had come and pulling the trigger...

"Clap clap clap..."

On the bell tower of a church 500 meters away, a tall, bald old man lay prone on the floor, staring at the fallen Galahad through a scope...

Seeing that Galahad seemed to still be alive, the tall old man ignored the mountain eagle's suppression, letting the bullets whiz past his head. He pulled the bolt and chambered a bullet...

"Galahad, don't get up, don't get up..."

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a bullet struck him in the side and waist...

The moment the tall old man was shot, he instinctively knelt down and tried to squeeze himself into the corner of the openwork clock tower wall...

But the moment he stood up, a bullet struck him precisely in the side, grazing his bulletproof vest and entering his body, leaving a fist-sized hole on the other side.

The tall old man knew he was going to die. He struggled to sit up and glanced in the direction the bullet had come from...

He gave a thumbs-up to the elk and camel that had risen from the roof of a small building, then grinned with his blood-stained mouth and forcefully ripped off his soldier's badge...

Then the old man's head slumped against the edge of the clock tower, his blood-soaked hand, bearing the soldier's badge, pointing in the direction of Galahad...
