Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 929 Anti-aircraft guns laid flat
There's a saying at Tokyo University: "Anti-aircraft guns level military courts"...

When Mountain Eagle drove a 'Stone River' anti-aircraft gun out of the 'farm's' huge barn, even veteran like Razer was stunned.

Ramares dragged a wounded comrade from the front lines behind a bunker. Just as he was about to yell for the machine gunners overhead to unleash all their firepower on the main buildings of the 'farm', he heard a chilling 'click-click-click' sound...

The old-fashioned 'Schkoll River' was extremely noisy during operations. Its 20-ton weight made this huge, cramped-in-the-cabin machine sound like a tank during operations.

The moment Ramares saw the 'Schkoll River' appear, he yanked an AT4 from his back and nervously pressed the radio, shouting, "Razer, is this one of ours?"

Razer was also stunned, but when he saw the mountain eagle with its head and shoulders sticking out in his direction, he glanced at the helicopters in the sky that were urgently descending and using the buildings inside the 'farm' to avoid their firing range, then licked his dry lips and shouted loudly into the radio: "Ramares, leave half of the men to hold off the last enemy, the rest of you go to the front of the farm to establish a defensive line."

As he spoke, Razer waved vigorously at the Mountain Eagle, which had already leveled its anti-aircraft gun, and shouted loudly into the radio: "Don't mess around, it's a drug processing plant inside, there are civilians inside, and a lot of dangerous chemicals..."

"You go to the front; enemy reinforcements are arriving soon. You go to the front; I'll handle things here."

This time, Mountain Eagle ignored Razer's advice. Seeing a group of South American soldiers voluntarily clear their firing range, he immediately adjusted the position of 'Schkel River' and shouted, "Fire!"

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The 'Shikale River' was filled with high-explosive shells. When the 23mm high-explosive shells penetrated the walls and exploded inside the building, the last will of resistance of the people inside was broken.

Several gunmen smashed the windows and opened fire on the 'Schkaler River' with their rifles. After discovering that the bullets had no effect on the armor, the 'smart people' inside the building raised the white flag.

This is exactly the effect that Mountain Eagle wants. He's not a law enforcement force; taking over the 'farm' with minimal cost and maximum speed is what he wants.

The slightly high firing angle of the 'Shikel River' ensured that it would not directly hit a human body...

Of course, generally speaking, unless you're extremely unlucky, the people inside won't get killed.

Mountain Eagle had discovered that enemy reinforcements were approaching the farm, and his best option at this point was to use the most forceful means to break down the enemy's resistance...

His idea was to use the explosion of the high-explosive bomb to frighten the people inside and force them out, but the effect was surprisingly good.

It's estimated that the few remaining gunmen didn't expect that instead of reinforcements, they would be met with 'Russian-style counter-terrorism'.

When the Mountain Eagles opened fire, Ramares forcefully pressed his wounded comrade to the ground. When the explosions stopped, he looked up, then jumped up and shouted at the direction of the Razer, waving his hands and yelling, "Are those guys fucking crazy?"

Razer watched as several gunmen collapsed and knelt in surrender as they rushed out of the building. He charged forward, kicked one of them to the ground, and yelled at Ramares, "Don't fucking stand there, take your men and take over this place..."

As Ramares watched the 'Schkel River' begin to operate, the four formidable anti-aircraft guns remained pointed at the enemy's building, while he glanced at the enemies who rushed out and willingly lay down to surrender...

He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, waved to his men, and then rushed to the building entrance. Smelling the pungent odor emanating from inside, he decisively put on a gas mask and began to count the people rushing out of the building.

The Kosovo Liberation Organization's convoy, which came to provide support, was blocked at the only road entrance. The burning vehicles on the road became an obstacle, forcing most of them to get out and walk.

To guard against enemy anti-aircraft fire, the Mi-17 with black smoke billowing from its engine deliberately landed on the open ground of the 'farm'. The machine gunner and the two pilots on board rushed down and began to assist the squad that was deploying in front in setting up their positions.

The Mountain Eagle drove the 'Schkel River' around to the side of the building. While Ramares was being pressured by the prisoners, the Mountain Eagle didn't do much, but just watched coldly.

After Ramares and his men stormed into the building and inspected it, confirming that there were no other survivors, Mountain Eagle pressed the communicator and said in a deep voice, "Separate the civilians from those Kosovo Liberation Organization members..."

Razer sensed something was amiss, but the busy Ramarez displayed remarkable professionalism. Having experienced numerous similar situations during his battles against drug cartels in South America, distinguishing between soldiers and civilians was effortless for him.

As he found a dozen or so civilians who weren't even wearing protective suits and were only dressed in light civilian clothes, and locked them up in a tool shed next door, the machine guns on the 'Shikel River' roared terrifyingly once again...

Dozens of bullets exploded among the Kosovo Liberation Organization soldiers who were gathered together...

The human body, under the impact of the 23mm cannon, was like a jelly being smashed against a wall, almost instantly shattered into pieces.

Blood, flesh, and bone fragments flew everywhere, and the shattered, collapsed corpses turned the area into a muddy mess within seconds.

Razer, unaware of what Mountain Eagle had been through, crouched low to avoid the 'Sikker River's' firing range, rushed to the front of the vehicle, and shouted, "Was it necessary? They surrendered!"

Mountain Eagle loudly signaled Eddie and Camel inside the vehicle to stop firing, then shook his head at Razer and said, "Then they weren't very lucky..." With that, Mountain Eagle steered the 'Stone River' towards a patch of land inside the farm that could barely be considered high ground, then jumped out and said to Razer, who was chasing after them, "I have my reasons..."

Do me a favor. If there are any survivors on the other side later, could you please ask them where someone named 'Asani' is?
I want to personally rip that guy's heart out and see what color it is..."

The Mountain Eagles that Razer has worked with in the past have either been confident and resourceful, or family-oriented and cheerful...

He had never seen Mountain Eagle so murderous before. Even when they were besieged from all sides, Mountain Eagle did not bring anger into the battle.

But now, the Mountain Eagle's slightly reddened eyes, cold expression, and cruel killing of prisoners made even a veteran like Razer feel a chill.

Knowing something serious must have happened, Razer, seeing Mountain Eagle's serious demeanor, decisively turned and waved to the hesitant Ramares, shouting, "Take your men and head to the front..."

Upon hearing this, Ramares waved for his men to form a frontal defense while rushing to Razer's side...

He first glanced at the cold-faced Mountain Eagle, then said to Thunder Serpent, "The enemy numbers are large; if we hold out to the death, our casualties will be heavy..."

Ramares glanced at the gun barrels on the Shikale River, took a deep breath, and said, "One firing point is not enough. There are several hundred enemy soldiers, and intelligence indicates that they have anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons."

Given Mountain Eagle's personality, he should have exchanged pleasantries with Ramares, this Arctic fox descendant he'd never met before, to build rapport, since he was about to be dragging them into a life-or-death struggle...

But at this moment, his mood was so bad that he had no time for idle chatter. Faced with Ramares's hesitation, Mountain Eagle tapped the frame of his tactical glasses a few times...

"Switchblade 600, 36 shots, fire..."

At the command of the mountain eagle, the spring knife launcher on the assault boat eight kilometers away on the riverbank opened, and 24 spring knife 600s were launched into the sky like mortar shells. Then, at a height of more than ten meters, they spread their wings, started their engines, and soared into the sky.

At the same time, Blood Fox, who landed on another riverbank closer to the 'farm', suddenly heard a strange noise in the sky. When he looked up, 12 Switchblade 600s swept overhead and then quickly climbed to a height of several hundred meters, flying towards the farm.

Mountain Eagle stared at the information in his tactical goggles for a few seconds, confirming that all 36 spring-loaded knives (600mm) had successfully taken off and would reach the airspace above the farm in a few minutes...

With a confident look in his eyes, Mountain Eagle looked at Ramares, who was uncertain, and said in a deep voice, "I'll handle their heavy weapons. You just need to block them from the front and prevent them from getting close to the farm."

I've paid you. Unless you think you can't do it, you just need to follow orders now!

Ramares paused for a moment, glanced at the expressionless Razer, then glared at Mountain Eagle and said in a deep voice, "I need to know at least what's going to happen. My men aren't cannon fodder!"

Mountain Eagle adjusted the magazine pouch on his chest, then pushed Ramares aside with his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I don't need cannon fodder. If you think you can't handle it, then take your men and get out of here!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Ramarez's angry eyes, pointed to the hills behind the farm, and said coldly, "There are people in there who really need help, and I will never let those people outside get close to there."

Blood Fox and the others all say you're great and hope I can find you a job that pays well...

So you need to show me your professionalism. I don't need war dogs who can only fight when things are going well; I need real tough guys who can fight tough battles!

Ramares frowned as he looked at the mountain eagle, its murderous aura surging from the top of its head as if it were about to explode. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "My men are the best. If I find out in the end that what we've done wasn't worth it, then I'll make you regret what you just said..."

Without turning his head, the mountain eagle waved his hand and said, "Do as you please..."

As he spoke, he rushed to the side of the farm, climbed over the fence, and entered a thicket of bushes. Then, his voice came through everyone's radios at the same time...

"Everyone, listen to my command. You may fire only when I say 'fire'..."

Ramares had never seen anything like this before. He glared at Razer with displeasure and shouted, "What does he mean by this?"

Razer glanced at Eddie, who was climbing out of the vehicle, and pounded on the armor of the Scholastic River a few times to warn the camels inside to be careful. Then he and Eddie exchanged a two-second glance and nodded in unison…

"Get your men to obey orders, and you'll soon find out what he means..."
