Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 892 A sudden turn of events
"Oh shit, they're taking ammunition from the truck, I saw a lot of RPGs..."

Are Romanian customs officials incompetent?
How did they manage to get so much dangerous weaponry in here?

Camel yelled and pulled the trigger, hitting a truck parked on the side of the road. This time, the high-explosive incendiary bomb only pierced the truck bed, without causing a fire or damage.

Seeing that the other side was using a relay method to transport a large amount of munitions into the dry ditch beside the roadbed, Camel tentatively fired a shot at a tractor. The bullet hit the bottom of the car that was being lifted up, but the tractor did not stop moving forward.

Camel glanced down and counted the remaining ammunition, then pressed the radio and shouted, "I have six armor-piercing rounds left..."

At this point, Mountain Eagle didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with Galahad and Robin. He ran wildly towards the other side of the forest while shouting into the radio, "Let them get a little closer. Elk, you go and provide frontal support. I'll deal with the gunmen who are flanking us."

The elk crouched on a large tree, its eyes fixed on the south side of the woods. A group of bearded gunmen circled around to the other side of the road; once they crossed the road, they could rush directly into the woods.

Upon hearing the mountain eagle's call, the elk shook its head and refused, saying, "No, this group is cunning and patient. It would be dangerous for you to deal with them alone."

"I'll cover you, you handle Blood Fox head-on, he's experienced..."

The grove wasn't very large. As the mountain eagle swooped through the middle, it spotted two oddly shaped large tractors in the distance and asked curiously, "Who has experience dealing with these things?"

The elk chuckled and said, "Treat them like Bradley Chariots, and you'll gain experience!"

The ISIS people were constantly fighting against Iraq, Syria, and the Kurds, and it was around that time that they learned about combined arms warfare.

Unfortunately, they never possessed real tanks, and there have been no large-scale tank battles since the end of the Cold War.

Don't be afraid of them. These people have only received counterinsurgency training at most; they'll be at a loss if something unexpected happens.

The elk spoke with great arrogance, but the mountain eagle dared not be disrespectful...

After running to the edge of the woods on the south side, you can see the machine gunners hiding in the distance on this side if you peek out. If you do, you will become a target.

The group on the other side of the road was clearly wary of the sniper, Elk, so they acted very cautiously, seemingly waiting for the group in front to give a signal and confirm that the people in the woods were distracted before attacking.

This is what the mountain eagle cannot tolerate...

He possesses exceptional situational awareness; the combination of crow and cicada allows him to easily take in the surrounding environment. If he so chooses, he can become the one taking the initiative to attack, rather than cowering in the woods and passively responding.

The enemy in front was too far away, and shooting at anyone other than the camel was ineffective.

But the mountain eagle knew it couldn't wait any longer, because giving the enemy enough time to prepare would put it at a disadvantage in the subsequent battle.

So once he pinpointed the gunman's location across the road, he called out to Moose and then threw out several smoke grenades.

The enemy machine gunner reacted the instant the smoke grenade appeared...

The enemy's MG3 fired rhythmically in three-round bursts, letting the bullets glide along the edge of the woods, trying to block anyone who might rush onto the road, while also alerting their comrades on the other side of the road.

The mountain eagle listened to the sounds of the enemy machine gun, sensing the rhythm of the machine gunner's fire...

A few breaths later, as three bullets whizzed past the edge of the woods, the mountain eagle darted out like a cheetah, leaping onto the roadside embankment and then performing a nimble forward roll, throwing an attack grenade as it rose.

As the grenade rolled, two gun barrels suddenly emerged from below the roadbed on the opposite side of the highway...

Before the other side fired, Mountain Eagle took two steps forward, leaping high into the air along the center line of the road. His body stretched out in mid-air, then twisted and curled into a ball as he fell, completing a 180-degree spin, the muzzle of his gun pointing downwards onto the roadbed…

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

"boom"

As Mountain Eagle pulled the trigger, unleashing 30 rounds of ammunition into the ditch below the roadbed, a rolling grenade exploded inside the ditch.

The eagle instinctively protected its head and face in mid-air, then slammed its back heavily into a thicket of bushes.

The moment he landed, Mountain Eagle saw a gunman hiding in the bushes to his left. Hearing the sound of his landing, the gunman struggled to break free from the grenade explosion and pointed his gun in his direction...

There was no time to change the magazine on the rifle at this point. Facing the enemy's gun, Mountain Eagle seemed to have been switched on, swiftly drawing his CZ75 from his thigh and pulling the trigger...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Four bullets struck the enemy in the chest in quick succession, causing him to lose his footing and fall backward...

At the same time, two enemies from another direction spotted Mountain Eagle. Just as they pulled the trigger and opened fire, a large-caliber bullet blew one of the gunmen's heads off, forcing the other to crouch down and use the bushes for cover to avoid the sniper's line of fire.

Mountain Eagle had already started sprinting ahead, and in two steps he was in front of the downed gunman, raising his knee and pressing it into his face.

The immense force flattened the unfortunate gunman's nose instantly, and then, as if hit by a truck, his head snapped back, followed by a sharp crack in his neck.

After succeeding, the eagle leaped forward, grabbed the root of a bush with its left hand, and used the momentum to complete a counter-clockwise spin. Then, it lay prone on the ground and pulled the trigger on the gunman who had fired the shot...

"bang bang bang"

Two bullets fired from the CZ75 were blocked by branches in the bushes, while the remaining two accurately hit the gunman's neck and head.

Just as the mountain eagle was about to turn towards the last enemy that had been frightened and stood up to flee, the elk pulled the trigger again...

"boom"

The bullet struck the trunk of a bush, went through it, and hit the guy in the back.

As the gunman fell, the fallen bush slowly toppled over him. The eagle gave a thumbs-up in the direction of the elk, then turned and examined the bodies.

Three Middle Eastern men, all wearing casual clothes and tactical vests, all with large beards, were carrying AKMs; one of them was also wearing a turban…

Seeing the two RPGs lying in the dried-up ditch, Mountain Eagle took a deep breath, pulled them out, and pressed the radio, saying, "I'll try to flank them and see if I can stop those two tractors..."

Upon hearing Mountain Eagle's idea, Blood Fox decisively said, "No, don't move. They've sent people towards your direction again..."

The deer said in a heavy tone, "Look to the southeast, more people are coming, three trucks..."

My firing angle is bad, Mountain Eagle, stop them…

At that moment, machine gun fire rang out again from the front of the woods, and tractors began to roar forward.

The gunmen who had been lying in their cover, not daring to move an inch, jumped up after the tractor passed by and, using the tractor as cover, began to approach the woods.

At the same time, the three trucks to the southeast, as if receiving an order, also accelerated.

The rapid changes made Mountain Eagle sigh slightly. He couldn't tell who the other party was at the moment, but he knew they were definitely not friends.

He carried two RPGs and rushed to the roadside. While waiting for the truck to come within firing range, he looked through the crows at the ragged but fanatical men on the truck and muttered to himself, "'Scapegoats,' again 'scapegoats'..."

As they were talking, the lead truck entered firing range, and the Mountain Eagle decisively launched its RPG...

"call out……"

Those scenes in movies where you can see the trajectory of a rocket are fake. A real rocket launch is impossible to follow with the naked eye; you can only see a trail before it explodes…

"boom"

The rocket struck the side of the truck's cab at an angle. The explosion caused the people inside the cab to fall violently to the right. The truck then went out of control instantly, veering off the road to the right and rolling into a ditch behind the woods.

The second truck, seeing the attack ahead, did not slow down...

The truck driver, as if on steroids, roared through the blast zone with bloodshot eyes, and before the Mountain Eagle could launch the second rocket, he drove straight off the roadbed and into the woods.

Out of the corner of his eye, the eagle even saw the people in the back of the truck being thrown into the air as it plunged down...

This fantastical action momentarily distracted Mountain Eagle, causing him to lose control of the RPG. This time, the rocket hit the truck's left front wheel, causing the truck to veer off course and crash into the side where he was.

Watching the out-of-control truck speed along the highway for a distance of about a hundred meters before plunging off the roadside embankment and crashing into the not-too-dense bushes...

Mountain Eagle decisively replaced the magazine on his AK-105 and charged toward the truck.

At the same time, another group of bearded gunmen moved to his side and rushed in from behind, the two sides about 700 meters apart...

Mountain Eagle knew he couldn't let himself be caught in a pincer movement. His only option was to get as close as possible to one side of the truck, to take advantage of their weakness and kill them, and then use the truck as cover to launch a counterattack.

Just as the mountain eagle was speeding away, his smart tactical terminal sounded an alarm again...

Realizing the enemy had launched another switchblade drone, the Mountain Eagle steered the Raven to attempt an interception while simultaneously increasing its speed to maximum.

He covered the 30-meter distance in less than four seconds...

The moment he saw the group of dizzy, disoriented gunmen, urged on by the alarm, he accelerated sharply and slid under the truck, disappearing into the ground beneath the stunned eyes of the gunmen…

"boom"

"boom"

Two switchblades, each costing 300, struck the truck bed; the other hit the ground near the truck's left rear wheel.

Several scapegoat gunmen, still reeling from the car accident, fell like flower petals in the explosion...

Meanwhile, the mountain eagle had already emerged from the other side of the truck. The instant the alarm went off, two grenades rolled into the ranks of the gunmen who were acting like headless flies...

"boom"

"boom"

Amid the explosion, Mountain Eagle raised his gun and circled around to the back of the truck. Then, using the rear wheels and the thick smoke as cover, he launched a devastating attack on the few surviving scapegoats...

Meanwhile, the situation in the woods also changed...

Worried about Mountain Eagle's safety, Blood Fox took the initiative to retrieve it, calling out loudly over the radio, "Mountain Eagle, how are you?"

Mountain Eagle crouched slightly behind the truck, watching the approaching bearded gunman through his scope. He said in a low voice, "It's a switchblade 300. I'm fine..."

"Blood Fox, don't move! Watch out for enemy drones! Everyone stay in the woods and don't come out!"

Blood Fox paused for a moment upon hearing this, but compared to other issues, he was more worried about Mountain Eagle's safety...

Just as he was about to send Eddie to provide support, Galahad shouted, "Don't move! Send Robin to provide support..."

Galahad looked at Robin and said, "Robin..."
