Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 874 A Counterattack

Worried about Blood Fox's safety, Mountain Eagle rushed to the gap between the van and the mountain wall. He saw Blood Fox leaning against the vehicle's engine, panting heavily and groaning as he clutched his old back injury...

At the same time, his head was smashed open at some point, leaving a large gash, and a large amount of blood flowed down, covering half of his face.

Mountain Eagle knew perfectly well that what Blood Fox had just done was something he should have done...

Because he was originally on the inside, it was Blood Fox who took the initiative to enter the danger zone in his place after the rocket explosion caused the falling rocks.

Mountain Eagle quickly walked to Blood Fox's side, put down his rifle, and pulled Blood Fox's arm, trying to get him out of the smoke zone...

"Are you out of your mind, you old geezer?"

Blood Fox wiped the blood from his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "I'm fine. Go check on that woman in red. She's not dead. We need to know who these people are."

Just imagine, this old man carried out the surprise attack in the blink of an eye, and even had the mind to observe whether the other side had any valuable targets...

With a disgruntled expression, Mountain Eagle dragged Blood Fox to a cool, dry spot. After checking and confirming that the old man was probably alright, he strode over to the back of A4, grabbed the woman in red, and dragged her out of the smoke zone…

At this point, the woman in red had been shot three times and was completely incapacitated. However, the bullet wounds were not in vital areas, so she was still able to remain conscious.

Mountain Eagle didn't really think this woman was any important person, because if she were really important, she shouldn't be sitting in an ordinary sedan, but should be choosing a bulletproof SUV.

Seeing that the woman, despite being severely injured, was still leaning against the mountain wall with her neck outstretched and looking at him with a slightly arrogant gaze, Mountain Eagle frowned, pulled out his pistol, and pressed it against her head, asking in a deep voice, "Who are you people?"

The woman in red had been shot in both arms, and blood was gushing from the wounds...

Upon hearing Mountain Eagle's question, the woman in red glanced down at her own wretched state, then gave Mountain Eagle a sinister smile and said, "We're here to take your life..."

"Mountain Eagle, we have many of you; you won't escape Romania!"

Mountain Eagle looked at the woman in red with a strange expression. He poked the wound on her arm with his pistol and found that she only frowned slightly. Then, staring into the woman's eyes, he said in a deep voice, "The Demon Gang?"

The woman in red gave a mocking smile, shifted her body with difficulty to look the mountain eagle in the eye, and said, "You will get nothing from me. You will live in fear until you die."

The eagle's pupils contracted sharply, then it said with a look of realization, "I understand, the Edward Foundation, the Stairway to Light..."

Seeing the change in the red-clad woman's pupils, Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "I always thought the assassins of the Stairway of Light were all elites, but you don't look like much."

Working alongside a bunch of mercenaries for rough work, the Edward Foundation seems to be short-handed too!

The woman in red looked at the mountain eagle expressionlessly and said in a mocking tone, "You're very clever, but unfortunately, cleverness is useless here..."

Romania is not Alaska, much less Thailand; you're just a little mouse here!

Our people will find you, and you won't even know who's watching you..."

Looking at the woman in red who was relentlessly intimidating him, Mountain Eagle shook his head, stood up, and said, "You're trying to pique my curiosity with intimidation. Interesting..."

You're actually terrified of dying, aren't you?

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle saw the mocking expression return to the woman in red. He decisively fired, shooting her through the head, and then loudly called to the others…

"We'll retreat, we'll go through the mountains, their reinforcements should arrive soon..."

After finishing his sentence, Mountain Eagle ran to the trunk of the nearly wrecked X5, picked up the large bag containing weapons, left a remote-controlled bomb in the car, and then, after meeting up with a few old men, the group jumped into the mountains along the embankment on the side of the bend...

Less than ten minutes after Mountain Eagle and his team left, several vehicles appeared in front of and behind the mountain road, and at the same time, a helicopter flew over the battlefield...

It was clear that the convoy responsible for blocking the front and rear had stopped near the combat zone, and then more than a dozen armed men got out of their vehicles and entered the battlefield to begin a detailed inspection.

The X5 driven by Mountain Eagle and his team became the focus of their inspection, but as a masked gunman leaned against the broken window, carefully checking to prevent any accidents, the vehicle's fuel tank still exploded...

With a deafening roar, the explosion, accompanied by thick smoke and flames, covered an area with a radius of approximately 15 meters...

Four gunmen who were close by were thrown into the air by the blast. Two of them, due to their position, came into contact with gasoline and burst into flames after hitting the ground.

Even though they were already severely injured and should have been unconscious, the excruciating pain caused them to scream in agony...

The explosion not only caused casualties, but the thick, toxic smoke also brought the on-site inspection work to a standstill.

However, the other side was clearly very experienced. They only glanced at them from a distance before the helicopters in the sky lowered their altitude and chased after the direction in which Mountain Eagle and his men had retreated.

At this point, Mountain Eagle and his companions had only run less than a kilometer...

Faced with the helicopter pursuit, the elk skillfully found a secluded recessed cliff face and then cut down some bushes...

Five people huddled in a recessed part of the mountainside, piling up bushes outside to block the helicopter's view...

Through the gaps in the bushes, Mountain Eagle saw a sightseeing helicopter with its side door open fly overhead. He said to Blood Fox beside him, "We're in trouble..."

Blood Fox stretched his head to the side of the elk, asking him to help treat the wound on his head.

The elk took a bottle of iodine and squeezed it forcefully to wash away the dirt from the blood fox's wound. Then, it roughly used a stapler to snap the wound shut. After simply rinsing the blood off the blood fox's head with a bottle of mineral water, it applied a large band-aid.

Looking at his 'masterpiece', the elk actually sighed with some enjoyment, and then said, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like I've become a few years younger... Blood Fox, do you remember the work we did in Montana?"

It was winter then, and we were being chased by a bunch of cowboys and National Guard soldiers. We played hide-and-seek with them in the mountains for two weeks.

Blood Fox shook his head, ignoring the deer's words. He craned his neck to look at the sky, then pushed aside the bushes in front of him and said as he walked out, "No matter who those people are, we'll always have the advantage in this kind of terrain..."

However, the commotion we made earlier was too great. To avoid being blocked in the mountains by officials, we decided to stick to our original plan and head towards Lake Snagov...

It's a park; you should be able to find suitable transportation nearby.

As he spoke, Blood Fox groaned, clutching his stomach. He paused, leaning against a large tree for support, and said, "All five of us together are too conspicuous. Let's split into groups, about 500 meters apart. The elk will be with me, Eddie and the camel will be in another group, and the mountain eagle will scout ahead..."

I had looked at the map before, and our location wasn't too far from Lake Snagov.

We need to speed things up. We've left many traceable tracks along the way, and if the enemy is determined enough, they will definitely catch up.

Eddie and the camel exchanged a glance. The optimistic Bajau man slowed his pace and said with a smile, "You two go first, the camel and I will bring up the rear..."

I can use tactical goggles now too. As long as Camel and I can spot them first, they're no match for us.

Mountain Eagle actually intended to devour the pursuing enemies, but Blood Fox was right. The commotion earlier was too great, and the area of ​​this mountain was not large enough. If it alerted the authorities and led to the closure of the mountain, it would be very disadvantageous for them.

Seeing Blood Fox's unsteady steps, Mountain Eagle thought for a moment, then nodded heavily. He took out a GPS device, adjusted it, and marked a location near Lake Snagov, saying, "We'll meet here..."

After receiving confirmation from several old men, Mountain Eagle put down his large pack, replenished everyone's ammunition, then shouldered the remaining gear and strode into the woods ahead...

However, the moment he left Blood Fox's sight, he packed away the large bag on his back and switched his weapon to a VSS silenced sniper rifle...

Lightly equipped, the mountain eagle ran for about a kilometer before turning towards the mountaintop. After circling around, it began to meander towards the battlefield.

The mountain eagle is very fast, and compared to the snow-covered forests of Alaska, the coniferous forests of Romania are much more favorable to it.

The little bit of snow on the ground and the thick pine needles act as natural sound dampeners, and they feel great underfoot.

In less than half an hour, he circled around and passed by Blood Fox and his group from a higher altitude...

After confirming with the drone that Blood Fox had followed the predetermined route to the designated location, Mountain Eagle ran to a slightly flatter area, then took out several brand-new crows and sent them each carrying two grenades into the sky...

As the crows took off, two crows that had been circling overhead swooped down towards the helicopter's rotor blades...

In fact, the Mountain Eagle could have easily shot down the helicopter with a single anti-aircraft missile, but this is Romania, a sovereign European country.

He has no advantage in terms of status or position here, and if he angers the authorities, no one knows what will happen...

Using drones to scare away helicopters is the least costly method for the mountain eagle.

Bionic drones are not suicide drones. They lack the capability to ensure safety, and due to their weight, the impact force is not very large.

However, the effects of gravity still created some problems for helicopters, which don't have particularly high safety standards.

Sightseeing helicopters are not armed helicopters, and their pilots are not the kind of brave warriors who are ready to die for their cause.

When the helicopter vibrated slightly twice, and then a large number of feathers were scattered by the helicopter rotor, although the pilot did not feel any major problem, he immediately decided to slow down and return to base.

Seeing from the new drone's perspective that the helicopter had deviated from Blood Fox's escape route, Mountain Eagle breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked towards the battlefield...

The group split into two; one group was cleaning up the scene, looking like they were trying to stage a car accident...

Another group of about 15 people followed them into the jungle from where they had left, but they were not moving particularly fast because they needed to look for traces along the way.

The mountain eagles were positioned above the concave cliff where they had previously hidden, offering a commanding and expansive view.

As the enemy's vanguard entered his firing range, Mountain Eagle set up his VSS sniper rifle between two twin trees...

After observing the enemy formation through the scope and calculating their distance and position, a crow flew overhead, followed by a grenade thrown into the woods...

With a deafening explosion that paralyzed one person, Mountain Eagle swiftly pulled the trigger...

"Da da, da da"

About 300 meters away from the mountain eagle, the two trailblazers shook violently as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer, and then collapsed limply to the ground.

The shockwave from the grenade explosion drew the enemy's attention, so much so that even the deaths of two vanguard soldiers didn't make them realize the danger...

"Beware of booby traps..."

A gunman in the middle of the group glanced back. No one would have guessed that the Mountain Eagles had the means to drop grenades from the air using drones, so they instinctively felt that they had encountered a booby trap...

At that moment, the group froze on the spot...
