Mercenaries are King

Chapter 25 Drive out Rahman's armed forces

Jackal naturally understood Lu Chen's meaning. He nodded vigorously, and the two of them advanced quickly from the left and right, firing continuously. The armed men who were besieging the jungle fell one after another.

Finally, they realized something was wrong. A dozen armed men turned around and saw Lu Chen and his companion. The leader shouted in the local language, "There's an ambush! Retreat!"

He had barely finished speaking when Lu Chen locked onto the man and pulled the trigger without hesitation. With a bang, the bullet struck the leader, who screamed and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Lu Chen was less than 100 meters away from Mike and the others. He had a signal on the walkie-talkie, so he quickly said into it, "Boss, let's concentrate our firepower, eliminate them, and then rescue the village."

"Lu Chen, you're back, that's great," came Mike's voice from the walkie-talkie.

"Chen, I knew you wouldn't want to leave us," Anthony said into the walkie-talkie.

"Alright, let's catch up after we're done playing," Lu Chen said quickly. Talking like this would go on and on and would only waste energy.

After he finished speaking, he waved to the jackals, and the two charged forward from the left and right. Although there were only two of them, they were both experts with accurate marksmanship and strong combat power, enough to be considered as one against ten.

They charged forward and quickly eliminated more than a dozen armed men.

At this moment, the militants were surrounded on three sides, and their opponents on all three sides were elite figures. They were no match for them at all, and they watched as they fell one by one. Hassan, the leader of this attack, shouted loudly in the local language: "Ambush! Retreat! Retreat!"

As Hassan shouted, the militants turned and ran, abandoning even their pickup trucks. Lu Chen, Mike, and the Jackals charged from three sides, causing the militants to flee in panic. After the first wave of attacks, only about ten militants escaped.

Lu Chen reunited with Mike and the others. Mike stepped forward, opened his arms, hugged Lu Chen tightly, patted his shoulder, and said, "I knew you would come back. You saved us again."

James, Alex, and Anthony all stepped forward and hugged Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at everyone and said seriously, "Boss, I don't need to introduce Jackal; these people are all his men."

Mike nodded vigorously, walked up to the jackal, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Jackal."

"Don't mention it. We're paid to do our job, it's what we should do," the jackal said seriously.

Mike looked at the jackal with a puzzled expression, then looked at Lu Chen with a questioning look.

Lu Chen quickly said, "I transferred 400,000 home, paid 100,000 in handling fees, and added 10,000 of the remaining 1 million, making a total of 1,010,000 for their task."

"Alright, that's about it. We don't have time to reminisce now. We need to rescue the village as soon as possible. If we wait any longer, everyone in the village will be killed." Lu Chen paused for a moment before continuing.

Although he only gave a rough outline, Mike understood that this was an outside help that cost a million dollars to hire. This made him very distressed, but when he thought about being able to live and earn more money, and besides, that money originally belonged to Lu Chen, he could spend it however he wanted, that was his right.

He gave a wry smile and said, "Chen is right. Now it's our turn to counterattack. Everyone get in the car and fight back." After he finished speaking, he waved to James and the others and rushed towards the pickup truck.

Lu Chen and Jackal nodded to each other and rushed toward the pickup trucks. These pickup trucks belonged to the militants, who hadn't had time to drive them away, so they became their means of transportation, especially since they were loaded with various weapons and ammunition.

Mike and his four companions, along with Lu Chen, the Jackals, and ten mercenaries, made a total of sixteen people and traveled in five vehicles.

Lu Chen, Jackal, and Alex rode in a car. Alex operated the heavy machine gun inside the car, Jackal drove, and Lu Chen, holding a submachine gun, smashed the car window.

Five pickup trucks roared like wild beasts as they sped forward, their submachine guns and heavy machine guns firing simultaneously, countless bullets flying toward the militants.

The armed men who were rushing into the village had no time to react before a group of them were taken down, and the rest lay on the ground and turned their guns to return fire.

However, Lu Chen and his men's firepower was too intense. Heavy machine guns and submachine guns fired bullets like they were free, covering the area and quickly reaping the lives of the militants.

The pickup truck was traveling at high speed and quickly approached the village. The militants couldn't hold out and began to retreat into the village.

However, Faisal, who was in charge of street fighting in the village, reacted after seeing the situation. He led his security guards and villagers out to fight. Although his marksmanship was not very good, the intense gunfire was enough to have a deterrent effect.

The militants were completely bewildered. What was going on? Were they surrounded? They didn't know which direction to fire, and some who were not well hidden were killed on the spot.

They had a good start and entered the village smoothly, but now they have lost more than half of their people. More than 200 of their 500 people have died, and the number is still decreasing.

Hassan, Rahman's top henchman, who was hiding behind the low wall, looked completely bewildered. He shouted into his satellite phone, "Boss, we've been ambushed and suffered heavy losses. We need reinforcements."

"Support my ass! Blackwater's infiltrated us. Retreat now!" Rahman's angry voice came through the satellite phone.

Hassan immediately gave the order, shouting, "Retreat! Retreat!" But they knew they couldn't escape through the front or back doors, so they had to run in other directions.

He spotted a direction and led his men in a swarm of them.

Lu Chen, sitting in a pickup truck, was the first to rush in. He saw the militants fleeing out of the village, so he jumped onto the roof, grabbed a submachine gun, and started firing in single-shot mode.

With unparalleled marksmanship, every shot hit its mark; each pull of the trigger took a life, until those people ran out of range.

The gunfire ceased, the battle ended, and the setting sun shone upon the earth.

After surviving the ordeal, people cheered. Faisal came over with a group of security guards, bowed deeply to Mike Lu Chen and the others, and said loudly in the local language, "You saved us. From now on, you are our leaders."

Mike glanced at Lu Chen. He knew that all of this was Lu Chen's doing, but on the surface, he was the captain and he had to make a statement. He also needed the villagers' support. With their support, their ideals would be further realized.

He said solemnly, "As long as we are here, we will not allow them to invade our village."

He paused for a moment and then continued, "Alright, let's clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and get some rest."

Faisal gave a loud reply and left with the security guards and villagers.

Mike patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, thanks to you this time, I'll make it up to you for what we lost."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's what I should do. By the way, it's been so long, why haven't I seen Adile?" After all, Rahman came for her, so did he send her away?
