Mercenaries are King

Lu Chen smiled at the jackal and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I can't abandon Mike and the others." He had made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, whether he returned to China or stayed, he would help them get through the crisis first, even if it meant dying without regret.

The jackal looked at Lu Chen, admiring him greatly. Such a sentimental person, even if not a qualified mercenary, was enough to inspire followers. This man was both brave and resourceful, destined for greatness. If it weren't for Blackwater, he would have truly wanted to work for him. He sighed and said, "Lu Chen, since that's the case, I can only wish you good luck."

He was about to get out of the car after he finished speaking, but then he suddenly remembered something and said to Lu Chen, "We are mercenaries. In the rules, we only care about money, not people. Rahman offered one million. If you have one more dollar, I can help you."

Lu Chen was taken aback. He looked back at the suitcase, which contained exactly one million yuan. Adding the ten thousand yuan commission, it totaled one million one hundred and ten thousand yuan. Money was important to him, but people were more important. If people were gone, everything would be gone. He didn't want to lose Mike and the others.

Besides, even if he went back alone now, what good would it do? Fighting against Rahman's hundreds of men, who knows what the outcome would be?

Now that money buys power, he thought, "Let's take a gamble." He looked at the jackal and asked, "How many men do you have?"

"Including me, there are eleven of us, but I need to ask my boss first," Jackal nodded and said.

One Black Iron mercenary and ten ordinary mercenaries—though few in number, this force greatly increases their chances of victory. He took out ten thousand US dollars from his pocket, placed it on the leather suitcase, and decisively said, "One million and one hundred thousand US dollars. The mission is to drive out Rahman and protect Gangdi Town."

The jackal nodded vigorously and said, "I'll contact my boss first." After he finished speaking, he took out his satellite phone, dialed a number, and walked to the side to communicate.

Lu Chen sat anxiously in the car. Every second he waited increased the danger for Mike and the others. He kept glancing ahead and then at Jackal. When Jackal finally hung up the phone, he shouted, "How is the situation?"

"I told them about the situation. The boss is very interested in your abilities. He agreed to the mission, but on one condition: he wants to meet you after the mission is completed," Jackal said directly.

This was actually his idea as well. The werewolf mercenary group was too small. Lu Chen was powerful and intelligent, and he shouldn't be buried here. If he went to Blackwater, he would definitely become famous.

"This money is yours. Get in the car, we'll talk as we drive," Lu Chen said impatiently. He didn't have time; he had to leave immediately.

Jackal smiled and nodded, sitting in the passenger seat. He didn't take the money; Lu Chen was more important than money.

Lu Chen slammed on the gas pedal, and the pickup truck roared as it sped off, leaving a trail of dust behind it.

As he drove, he said, "When are your men arriving?"

"My men have been notified and will arrive at the Gangdi Town jungle area within two hours to await my orders," Jackal said seriously. After contacting his superiors, he gave orders to his subordinates, who were directly under his command. Besides, there was money to be made, so they were naturally willing to go.

Lu Chen's tense heart relaxed a little. Two hours later, he had almost arrived at Gangdi Town and could start the battle at the same time. He just didn't know how Mike and the others were doing.

Now he has no way to contact them. The only satellite phone he has is the microphone. Even if he has a walkie-talkie, it can only be used within a certain range. Outside that range, he cannot contact them at all. At this moment, he can only speed up his journey.

Before arriving, Lu Chen hoped that Mike and the others could hold on.

Time flew by. After driving for two full hours, a large mountain appeared in the distance. It was the mountain on the side of Gangdi Town. Sounds came from the direction of the mountain, and as the distance closed, the sounds became clearer and clearer. These were the sounds of gunfire.

Lu Chen was secretly anxious. He said loudly, "Rahman has indeed launched an attack. Judging from the sound, the battle is very fierce." After all, Mike only had so many people, plus twenty security guards, making a total of twenty-four. Even if some villagers were organized to take up arms, it wouldn't be enough.

With these thoughts in mind, he floored the accelerator, and the pickup truck roared forward.

Jackal picked up the satellite phone and dialed a number. He shouted, "Wild Dog, lead the brothers into battle! Make sure the werewolf mercenary group is safe!"

Lu Chen nodded to the jackal and said, "Brother, thank you."

"We're paid to do things, that's what we should do," the jackal said with a wry smile.

Gangdi Town was just ahead. At that moment, the gunfire was intense, and people kept shouting and rushing forward.

As Lu Chen drove forward, he observed the situation. Dozens of pickup trucks appeared ahead, each with four or five people on it and heavy machine guns mounted on the roof. Five trucks lined up side by side, charging forward with the heavy machine guns roaring as they rushed toward the village.

On the other side, there were dozens of pickup trucks. They drove directly to the edge of the jungle. Some people in the trucks used heavy machine guns to keep firing into the jungle, while others got out of the trucks and headed into the jungle.

Mike and his team kept changing positions and firing in the jungle. The situation was very bad; they had been surrounded by militants.

Suddenly, gunfire erupted from one side of the jungle, and ten mercenaries in camouflage appeared. They quickly took cover and fired at the militants. These men were excellent marksmen and their combat effectiveness far surpassed that of the militants.

Lu Chen looked at the jackal and said, "Those are your men. Even so, Mike and the others are in great danger. Now let's rush over, save Mike and the others first, and then save the village."

"You're the employer, I'll listen to you," the jackal said with a smile.

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a submachine gun, Lu Chen quickly turned the steering wheel and charged towards the armed men on the outskirts of the jungle. At that moment, at least ten heavy machine guns roared from the dozen or so trucks on the outskirts of the jungle.

He drove his pickup truck straight at another pickup truck and crashed into it with a loud bang, sending the people inside flying.

Lu Chen kicked open the car door and shouted, "Jackal, take out the machine gunner first." Without the machine gunner's threat, Mike and the ten mercenaries would be under much less pressure, giving them a chance to turn the tide.

Lu Chen and Jackal rushed in different directions. Lu Chen rushed towards a pickup truck on the left and, from a distance, repeatedly pulled the trigger of his submachine gun. The two gunmen in the truck were hit by bullets, screamed, and fell off.

He was very fast, and the militants never expected that there would be support from behind. Before they could react, all the machine gunners on the ten pickup trucks were killed. He waved to the jackals and pointed towards the jungle, indicating that they should attack from both sides.
