Mercenaries are King

Chapter 10 The Role of Tanks

Lu Chen, fearing that Mike and the others wouldn't understand, continued, "If we bombard him relentlessly, can Rahman withstand it? Besides, he just went through a battle, and his losses won't be small. Unless he wants to die, he'll definitely run away."

As he spoke, he looked toward the battlefield. The battle had just begun. Alz's men were charging forward, while Rahman's men had laid a heavy ambush at the village entrance. There were at least six heavy machine guns on both sides of the entrance, and the machine guns roared, with countless bullets flying toward Alz, and his men fell in droves.

The two tanks were left 800 meters behind, which was incredibly foolish of them to have such heavy firepower but not use it.

Lu Chen couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This idiot will never amount to anything, he'll die sooner or later."

After thinking for a moment, Mike decisively said, "Okay, let's do as Lu Chen says. Lu Chen will be in charge of seizing the tanks."

Lu Chen nodded vigorously and, without further ado, thought for a moment and said into the walkie-talkie, "James, Alex, each of you take three security guards and come with me."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Mike and said seriously, "Mike, remember, hold on. The real battle is tomorrow during the day."

Mike nodded to Lu Chen and said, "Don't worry."

Lu Chen smiled, waved to James Alex, and rushed into the darkness.

On one side, fierce fighting raged, screams filled the air, and the whole world was in an uproar, while Lu Chen and his group took advantage of the darkness to run wildly toward the tanks.

Their actions went unnoticed by anyone. A dozen minutes later, they arrived at the side of the two tanks, less than twenty meters away. Lu Chen waved to signal everyone to stop.

He observed carefully and found that the distance between the two tanks was about twenty meters. If a silent battle were to take place, they would have no way of detecting each other. There should be three to four people in each tank: a commander, a driver, a loader, and a machine gunner. Or perhaps even fewer, only two or three.

At that moment, the top cover of a tank was open, and a person was sitting on it, smoking a cigarette. The bright spot was flashing in the darkness, making it very noticeable.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and whispered, "Remember, we're here to seize tanks, not destroy them. Silent battle. Alex, come with me. The rest of you stay hidden."

After he finished speaking, he waved to Alex, drew his military knife, and, taking advantage of the darkness, quickly crept over. He soon arrived under the tank and vaguely heard sounds coming from inside. Clearly, they were unaware of the approaching danger.

He waved to Alex, indicating to get on from the sides. He carefully jumped onto the tank.

The guy smoking up there seemed to notice the commotion and suddenly turned around. Lu Chen jumped up just then. Without thinking, he quickly drew his military knife and rushed forward to cover the guy's mouth, preventing him from making a sound.

A bloody line appeared on the man's neck, his body trembled twice, and then he stopped breathing. Lu Chen did not go down immediately, but instead looked into the tank through the gap. The lights were on inside, and three people were drinking and laughing, completely unaware of the danger approaching.

Lu Chen threw the person off the bus and then jumped down himself. The speed was incredible; everyone in the car was startled and stunned.

The moment Lu Chen landed, his military knife flashed out, swiftly reaping the lives of several people. Three streaks of blood splattered, and the three men almost simultaneously clutched their necks, their eyes slowly widening. They collapsed to the ground without uttering a single word.

At this moment, Alex jumped down as well. He looked surprised and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Shen, you're really amazing."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let James and the others get in the car, clean up the bodies, and we'll go steal another one."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he returned to the ground and looked at the tank twenty meters away. The people inside the tank had no idea that there would be any danger and were probably celebrating.

He gave a wry smile. These people are really thick-skinned, still drinking at a time like this. If Alz knew, he would probably be furious.

He waved to Alex, and the two quickly crept over. This time it wasn't as smooth as the first time. When Lu Chen opened the hatch on top of the tank, the people inside became alert. There was no other way but to open fire.

Lu Chen opened fire quickly, bullets flying through the cockpit. Within a dozen seconds, all four crew members inside the tank were killed, and the two tanks were in his hands.

Both James and Alex can drive tanks, so one tank each, along with three security guards, would be perfect for maneuvering the tanks.

Meanwhile, the battle in the village was still ongoing. After a fierce attack and at a heavy cost, Alz finally broke through Rahman's defenses and entered the village.

However, this resulted in Alz losing at least half of his strength, while Rahman did not actually unleash his full power.

Lu Chen said into the walkie-talkie, "Boss, tank in hand. There's a lot of good stuff here, all kinds of food, all we're missing is some beautiful women to keep us company."

"Chen, well done. Ibn should contact me soon," Mike said.

"Hey, you're short of beautiful women, how about I go over there?" Anthony's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Lu Chen was taken aback. This was a difficult question to answer, and quite awkward. He could also tell that James was very interested in Anthony. He coughed loudly, but before he could speak, a voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Anthony, I'm also short of beautiful women. You can come over anytime."

Lu Chen and Alex looked at each other and burst into laughter. It was James; the kid was jealous.

Alex punched Lu Chen on the shoulder and said with a laugh, "You little brat, no wonder James looked at you like you were an enemy, so that's why."

Lu Chen shrugged helplessly and shook his head, saying, "Honestly, I've only known Anthony for three days."

"You two fell in love at first sight," Alex joked.

At that moment, Mike's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Lu Chen, there's a situation. Ibrahim called, requesting our support for Alz."

Lu Chen was taken aback. It seemed the crucial moment had arrived. Whether they could survive depended on their attitude. He patted Alex on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving this to you. I'll go find the leader."

"Chen, you did a good job. I believe in you." Alex nodded and said. After the battle just now, he had a new understanding of Lu Chen's combat abilities.

Lu Chen turned back and smiled at Alex, picked up his submachine gun, and quickly left the tank. Taking advantage of the darkness, he ran wildly down the road. Alz's men had already stormed into the village, and now was the safest time for him.

He quickly returned to Mike's side and said earnestly, "Boss, what did Ibn say?"
