Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 901 Drunken Scene
Mountain Eagle and his group parked their car in an open space by the river. After Luca made a few calls on the radio, a dozen or so boys around sixteen or seventeen years old soon ran over from downstream.

Seeing the boys pushing all sorts of handcarts rushing out of a grove of trees, Mountain Eagle curiously went over to take a look and discovered a hidden path in the woods downstream...

The narrow road was impassable for vehicles, so supplies could only be transported by manpower.

The big guy, Sakho, frowned and cursed at the group of boys who were excitedly looking at the cigarettes and alcohol. He then handed the scene over to his men to handle with the boys, before walking up to Mountain Eagle and saying, "We've already wasted a lot of time. I'll take you inside..."

By this time, Mountain Eagle had let down his guard. He reached out and patted Robin on the back, who was still tense, before following in Sako's footsteps.

The 'Northern Brigade' campsite was chosen in a very secluded location. After walking along a path through the woods by the river for more than ten minutes and rounding a hill, they entered an open valley.

A tributary of a small river flows through the valley, and the snow that has accumulated on the mountains on both sides gathers into the tributary and flows downstream.

Although it's not summer now, the mountain eagle can imagine how beautiful this valley must be in the summer.

Because of the mountains, the temperature in the valley wasn't too low...

The mountain eagle not only saw rows of barracks and training grounds, but also saw hundreds of people conducting military training.

The person who planned and built this camp was a master. He used the surrounding hills to extend the outposts, effectively expanding the camp's surveillance range. At the same time, he used simple machinery to build a cable car connecting the various hilltop outposts. However, this cable car required people to tie ropes to themselves and hang themselves up.

As they followed Sako into the camp, the mountain eagle saw a large number of oil drums piled up in front of the camp.

When the mountain eagle passed by, it reached out and shook the oil drums, only to find that they were all filled with mud.

This was not the fuel he had initially imagined, but a bunker disguised as fuel tanks.

These 'bunkers' are not only numerous at the front of the camp, but also inside the camp. Moreover, the placement of the oil drums and the selection of the few machine gun positions clearly indicate that they were designed by an expert.

Without even looking closely, the mountain eagle could visualize several routes in its mind. No matter which direction the enemy attacked from, the people in the camp could freely choose to advance or retreat thanks to this oil drum position.

The camp looked rudimentary, but it was actually designed entirely according to actual combat standards.

Sakho greeted a few people in the camp, then turned to look at Mountain Eagle and said with a hint of pride, "This is the Northern Brigade's camp. We train here before going to fight those Albanian bastards."

Following in Sako's footsteps, Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "This place looks nice, but it doesn't seem particularly safe..."

This place is still dozens of kilometers away from the Kosovo border and is still within Serbian territory. Who are you trying to guard against by setting up your camp like this?

The camp looked like it could hold over a thousand people, but I only saw about a hundred, and they all seemed to be new recruits; they didn't even have proper weapons.

Sakho paused, his face turning somewhat grim, and said, "This is our own problem..."

Looking at Sako's face, which seemed to wear every emotion on its sleeve, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "Is there a problem within the Northern Brigade?"

"how do you know?"

The atmosphere froze instantly at the Eagle's words, and Sako instinctively said, "You know...?"

Sakho finally realized what was happening and shut his mouth in time. Then, he looked cautiously at the mountain eagle and said in a low voice, "Follow us, our boss is in that house..."

…………

It's called a house, but it's actually a simple two-story building constructed to the standards of the Dongda construction site, using prefabricated panels and corrugated steel sheets.

Saco greeted the two guards standing at the door, then pushed open the door and invited Eagle and Robin to enter the building together.

Robin stopped at the door, greeted the two guards with a smile, and then waved to the mountain eagle, indicating that he would stay outside...

To be honest, Mountain Eagle was very satisfied with Robin's performance. Although this SAS soldier was about the same age as him, he was very experienced. Most importantly, he knew his place and was very clear about what he should do in what situation!
This is an outstanding elite created by a standard military training system!

Mountain Eagle patted Robin on the shoulder to let him know that he recognized his professionalism and good intentions, then stepped into the house.

The moment he entered the room, the mountain eagle was so overwhelmed by the nauseating smell that he took a step back...

The living room was a mess upon entering, with an overturned sofa, a cluttered dining table, bottles scattered all over the floor, and a large amount of vomit in the corner of the room...

Eddie, a Bajau man, was lying next to the vomit. If it weren't for the fact that his throat was still moving, the mountain eagle would have thought he was dead.

Mountain Eagle, covering his nose, rushed to Eddie's side and squatted down. Looking at the spray of vomit in the corner and the mess on Eddie's mouth, he found it somewhat amusing and sighed...

Although this guy was completely drunk, he still knew to lie on his side on the ground before losing consciousness to keep himself breathing smoothly and prevent himself from choking on his vomit.

Holding her breath, she grabbed Eddie, dragged him to the overturned sofa, and then forcefully righted the wrecked sofa...

Just as they were about to put Eddie down on the sofa, they discovered that the old camel was lying in the corner behind the sofa.

Camel was in slightly better condition than Eddie, but only slightly better... This situation made Mountain Eagle sigh helplessly. He had to move the sofa away, then pull Camel out from the corner, then stuff the two old men into the sofa, and finally take a group photo of them.

After dealing with those two, Mountain Eagle looked at Sakho, who had a gloating expression, and said irritably, "Where are the others?"

Sakho didn't speak, but instead gestured with his chin towards a room on the side...

Mountain Eagle strode over, knocked on the door a few times, and then reached out and opened the door.

Upon entering, Mountain Eagle discovered that it was a small, fairly well-furnished reception room.

There was a shelf in the room filled with drinks, a small round table and four chairs in the center, and three two-seater sofas against the wall, separated by square tables.

On the round table in the center of the room were seven or eight bottles of liquor, including whiskey, brandy, and fruit wine...

The deer sat opposite an old man with gray hair, a thick beard, and a scar on his cheekbone...

The two old men each held a wine glass, staring blankly at each other.

Blood Fox sat on the sofa next to him, his obese body folded forward, his hands outstretched, gripping the back of a chair, his large head resting on his knees...

As Mountain Eagle entered, Blood Fox gasped for breath, and a large amount of vomit sprayed from his mouth, instantly submerging his feet.

A nauseating smell instantly filled the room...

Just as the mountain eagle was about to step forward to help the blood fox, who was clearly on the verge of losing consciousness, the elk sitting upright in the chair began to throb, and then 'vomited'...

A large amount of liquid, mixed with stomach contents, sprayed directly onto the old man opposite him...

After vomiting, the deer regained some consciousness. The old man looked at the still-sitting old man opposite him, startled at first, then staggered to his feet and pressed his hand on the old man's neck...

After confirming that the statue-like old man still had a heartbeat, the elk straightened up, looked at the mountain eagle that had just entered, and smiled, saying, "I won..."

Then the elk fell straight backward like a felled tree.

"fuck..."

Mountain Eagle didn't have time to check on Blood Fox's condition. He rushed over and helped the completely drunk Deer up, grabbed the two-hundred-pound fat man, dragged him to the sofa and made him lie down with his head facing outwards. Then he looked at the old man who was still sitting upright in the same spot...

Just as he was about to call Sako in to help, a brown-haired woman in combat gear led Sako and several of her men into the room.

Seeing the vomit on the old man, the woman frowned slightly, turned to Sako and whispered a few words to him, instructing him to have his men carry the old man out of the room.

Seeing Mountain Eagle help Blood Fox lie down, and then thoughtfully place a bottle of mineral water in the arms of each of the two drunkards, the woman pursed her thin lips and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "You're Mountain Eagle? Is that one of your men outside?"

Mountain Eagle straightened up, nodded, and said, "I am Mountain Eagle. The guy outside is called Robin. He's not one of my subordinates, but rather an ally..."

And who are you?

The brown-haired woman was nearly 1.8 meters tall, looked very strong, and had long legs. Her appearance was only average, but she had a capable and assertive air about her.

“My name is Sanja, Sanja Tadic. Colonel Tadic is my father…”

Mountain Eagle looked at Sangjia, who seemed rather indifferent, and then at the old man being carried out. He said with a hint of amusement, "Is that Colonel Tadic?"

Sang Jia's face remained largely expressionless. She reached out and opened the window beside her, letting in the cold air, then gestured to the mountain eagle, saying, "Come with me..."

Mountain Eagle looked at the two old men curled up on the sofa. He followed Sang Jia and closed the window a little as he passed by. When he entered the living room, which was filled with a strange smell, he did not forget to add a few thick pieces of firewood to the fireplace.

Sang Jia pushed open the door to a room on the other side of the living room. She glanced at Shan Ying's actions, hesitated for a moment, and then stood in the doorway, making an inviting gesture...

"You don't look like a mercenary..."

The mountain eagle found a dirty blanket for Eddie and the camel to cover themselves with, and then gave each of them a bottle of water...

Hearing Sang Jia's words, Mountain Eagle said with some distress, "I really am not..."

However, some things in this world are hard to say; often, our identity is determined by how others perceive us.

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Sang Jia and said with a smile, "Like you, if I hadn't seen you at the Northern Brigade's camp, my first thought might have been that you were an athlete..."

Sang Jia paused for a moment, lowered her eyelids slightly, and said in a somewhat complicated tone, "I was supposed to be a tennis player..."
