Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 895 Search
The four spring knives were split into two directions, with three of them accurately hitting the support convoy coming from the north.

The gangsters, who were nothing more than a motley crew of gangsters, jumped out of the trucks like headless flies when the three gypsy-style trucks were hit and exploded. They had no idea what was happening and were searching for non-existent enemies.

After confirming that the gangsters wouldn't dare advance any further in the short term, Mountain Eagle used his last switchblade 300 to hit the tractor that was still moving forward.

A top-down attack is something a tractor cannot defend against. The moment the explosion occurs inside the tractor's cab, the engagement distance between the two sides is limited to about 400 meters.

Those bearded gunmen were indeed very fierce, but facing the Arctic Fox veterans who were using the trees for cover, it was impossible for them to cross the 400-meter area that was basically unprotected.

Not to mention they also had to deal with Robin, who was attacking them from the side and rear...

The MG3 machine gun's high rate of fire gave Robin's attacks explosive power, not only wiping out the enemy's machine gun position in one fell swoop, but also terrifying the gangsters who were caught between two sides.

No matter how the bearded men called out to them, the gangster gunmen refused to take another step forward, and some of them had already begun to flee into the farm.

Mountain Eagle had completed his mission and was just about to rendezvous with Robin to engage the enemy from the flank when his satellite phone rang.

Seeing the name on the phone, Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then answered, "Kobe, what's up?"

Kobe, on the other end of the phone, heard Mountain Eagle's voice and said loudly, "Mountain Eagle, I've arrived in Bucharest. Their intelligence department says that the Roma gangs north of Bucharest are making a large-scale mobilization."

The police have blocked the highway. I've borrowed two helicopters; they should be able to get to your location in fifteen minutes.

"So fast?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at the time, nodded, and said, "You arrived much faster than I expected..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle glanced at the switchblade operator, who was unconscious in the carriage with a bullet wound to the abdomen. He hesitated for a moment, then went forward and dragged the unconscious man out of the carriage. He then took out a large wad of gauze and stuffed it into the man's abdomen. He then said into the phone, "But it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early..."

There's a gang of Death Angels' henchmen here. If you arrive any later, you might not be able to get them alive.

Kobe exclaimed on the other end of the phone, "Keep them alive! Try to keep them alive! I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Don't let them get away!"

Mountain Eagle, I came from Cyprus, where I found some useful clues...

We must leave a few survivors; we need to cross-reference the intelligence.

When Mountain Eagle heard "Cyprus," he paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What clues have you found?"
It's money, right?

Kobe paused for a few seconds, then finally nodded and said, "Yes, based on some clues I found before, I traced it back to Cyprus. Part of the Death Angels' funds entered Syria through Cypriot banks, and also..."

Mountain Eagle took a deep breath and said, "And the funds in Iberia were also transferred through Cypriot banks, right?"

Kobe did not give a definite answer. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm not sure. When I was tracing the flow of funds of the Angels of Death, I found that a large amount of money was transferred through Cypriot banks and then entered several European countries."

"Mountain Eagle, my investigation in Cyprus has encountered some obstacles. I know you have some connections with Russia, so I was thinking, if it's convenient..."

Mountain Eagle shook his head decisively and said, "I'm not available. You should come over quickly. Let's take care of our current problems first."

Mountain Eagle hung up the phone, jumped out of the car, and threw himself back into the battle...

It wasn't that he didn't want to help Kobe, but that he had no other choice...

Since he used Snowden as bait to help Anna orchestrate a 'financial raid'—that is, by using a pretext to get Anna to take over the Cyprus-based Great Russia Overseas Asset Management—Anna has turned against her boss, Viktor Vickselberg.

And this Victor Wickselberg is the largest shareholder of the National Bank of Cyprus.

At the same time, the Federal Reserve sent a CEO to the Bank of Cyprus, which means that the US and Russia are simultaneously supervising the bank's reform.

It's unrealistic to have Anna investigate the Cypriot bank, because she runs an asset management company. Asking her to investigate her former boss, a powerful oligarch whom even the head of a major Ottoman state would treat with utmost respect, would be detrimental to her regardless of whether any problems are uncovered.

Mountain Eagle is absolutely clear about this, because he knows very well that it's better to focus on the definite issues than to waste time on uncertain ones.

'The White Whale' is one, 'The Sinaloa Group' is one, the red-haired woman is one, and these bearded men in front of us are one too...

With so many readily available clues, there's absolutely no need to create unnecessary trouble by provoking a lawless Russian super-oligarchy.

With an exceptionally clear mind, the mountain eagle no longer focused on killing its opponent, but instead began to think of ways to prolong the battle.

He and Robin, two very good gunmen, used parked vehicles as cover and, with the help of several old men in the woods, repelled two enemy counterattacks before two helicopters arrived over the battlefield.

The moment the helicopters appeared, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt... The side doors of the two helicopters were opened, and as the gunmen began firing down from their elevated positions as if hunting, the gangsters were the first to lose their will to fight, and they surrendered without hesitation.

The terrain here is relatively flat and lacks complex topography, making it impossible to escape the pursuit of helicopters in this environment.

Moreover, the helicopter was just the beginning. Kobe not only brought the field agents of the refugee group, but also the field agents of the Romanian intelligence agency.

When their convoy came into view of the drone, Mountain Eagle knew that the situation could not be changed any further.

With the situation largely settled, Mountain Eagle signaled Robin to stay put and continue blocking the enemy's retreat, while he himself turned back and charged across the road again...

He needed to find the two missing 'Stairway to Light' snipers. They weren't particularly important, but they were extremely deadly.

This time, they acted hastily, and the 'scapegoats' who helped them were not up to par. As a result, Mountain Eagle and his men were a bit flustered, and Camel even injured his arm.

According to the elk, both men are now injured, and the mountain eagle believes that they must be found and each of them chopped off before the matter is settled.

Finding the people should have been easy for Mountain Eagle, but to his surprise, no matter how much Raven scanned, he just couldn't find the two snipers' locations.

Logically speaking, they couldn't have gone very far...

Mountain Eagle stood at the edge of a bush, lifted his foot and pushed aside the body of a bearded gunman, then frowned and turned the Golden Cicada's power to maximum to scan the surroundings.

A few minutes later, still empty-handed, Mountain Eagle pressed the radio and said, "Moose, which direction do you think those two snipers will run?"

Upon hearing the eagle's call, the deer knew what he was about to do...

"Wait for me to come..."

After finishing his conversation, the deer ended the call, emerged from the woods, crossed the road, and reunited with the mountain eagle...

Seeing the mountain eagle's somewhat puzzled expression, the elk looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "Whether it's a sniper or an assassin, the most important ability is to hide yourself. It's normal that your drone can't see them..."

Mountain Eagle had seen high-end camouflage suits before; several sniper teams he had faced in Los Angeles had similar equipment.

Wearing this kind of equipment and then burying themselves somewhere makes it really difficult for drones to find them.

The matter was nearing its end, and Mountain Eagle didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with the two snipers, so he looked at the deer, spread his hands, and said, "Do you have a way to find them?"

The deer smiled and pointed to a hill about a kilometer to the southeast, saying, "Last night I didn't chase after them because I was worried about your safety, but judging from today's situation, the two of them didn't go far. Instead, they were watching us from a distance and constantly sending information to those who came later."

Therefore, they must be in a location that is easy to observe…

Mountain Eagle nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go take a look. I won't feel at ease until we find them and chop them up."

The elk admired the decisiveness the mountain eagle displayed at that moment. The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's go take a look. I'll go ahead..."

Those two must be seriously injured. I want to see what kind of people can still cause us trouble under these circumstances.

The eagle nodded and took the lead, walking towards the distant hillside. Before him, the crow lowered its altitude and began to circle around the hillside.

This time, because there was a clear target, the mountain eagle quickly made a discovery...

On a mound overgrown with weeds and shrubs, someone had built a 'nest' out of dead branches and leaves among a few withered shrubs.

This 'nest' was built hastily, but on a mound covered with weeds and dead trees, it naturally provided cover.

What surprised the mountain eagle even more was that when the crow lowered its altitude, it found only one dead creature in the nest.

When the eagles and deer arrived, the body was already somewhat stiff, meaning it had been dead for several hours.

The eagle forcefully ripped open the roof of the 'nest,' then scanned the surroundings. He gestured to the deer, then kicked the ground while cursing, sending a thick wooden stick flying towards a clump of bushes to the side...

"crash"

The moment the stick disappeared into the bushes, the eagle, using the deer's body as cover, darted into the undergrowth like a cheetah, followed by sounds of fighting...
