Mercenaries are King

There's a problem with Chapter 29.

Everyone looked at Adile; this woman was now their sugar daddy, and no one dared to offend her.

Lu Chen wasn't going to put up with her, and said coldly, "We're discussing something, we'll talk about your business later."

Adile was a little unhappy and glared at Lu Chen.

Mike quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "We'll set off by this afternoon at the latest, and we'll definitely get you back before dark."

Adile gave Lu Chen a deep look before walking out of the courtyard.

Lu Chen looked at him and shook his head. This woman had a very strange and unstable temper. Luckily, he hadn't had a relationship with her, otherwise, it would be hard to say.

"Chen, go and comfort her." Alex pointed at Adile.

"You go if you want," Lu Chen said rudely.

After he finished speaking, he took out paper and pen and began to draw. He quickly drew the structure of the tunnel and handed it to Faisal.

"Take this and dig the tunnel according to this plan. Make sure the tunnel is sturdy enough," Lu Chen said seriously.

Faisal took the structural diagram and examined it very carefully.

After that, Mike and the others didn't have much to do. They just had to provide the money, weapons, and personnel; everything was handled by Faisal.

Mike patted Faisal on the shoulder and said, "The base construction will be your responsibility from now on. In the meantime, we'll be escorting Adil to Baghdadi village."

Faisal was happy to do this, especially since it was also to protect the village. With the werewolf mercenary group around, they had already survived several waves of war. Now they had weapons, money, and manpower, and everything was ready for them to slowly develop.

He quickly said loudly, "Boss, don't worry, all of this will be built by the time you come back."

Mike nodded at him, then turned to Lu Chen and the others, and said loudly, "Check the equipment, prepare the supplies, and we'll depart in an hour."

After he finished speaking, he waved to Lu Chen and pointed at Adile.

Lu Chen lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, exhaled a smoke ring, and strode outside, where he saw Adile standing in front of a pickup truck.

He strode over, stood beside her, looked up, and saw a flock of sheep in front of him, with a child of about ten years old herding them.

He took two puffs of his cigarette and said softly, "If there hadn't been a war, he should be in school." He couldn't understand why anyone would say something like that.

"You're right, peace is what this country needs most, so I want military power. Only with power can peace be maintained," Adile said loudly.

Lu Chen was speechless. He didn't know how to answer. This country was too chaotic. Every province, and even every village, had become a separatist warlord.

He used to be just a security guard, now he's a mercenary. He has no control over these things. He patted Adile on the shoulder and said, "Alright, go get ready. We'll be leaving in an hour."

Making money is his main goal here. He may die in this country, but that may be his fate. He is willing to do anything for his family.

After an hour of preparation, Lu Chen and Mike were fully armed. Lu Chen wore a riot helmet, special operations uniform, bulletproof vest, submachine gun, military knife, pistol, hand grenade, tactical backpack, etc.

He felt incredibly sacred and cool at that moment. This was his first mission as a true mercenary, and the wolf head pattern on his hat made him stand out even more.

The group of six traveled in a pickup truck and a Hummer.

Mike and Adile sat in a Hummer, while Anthony, James, and Alex rode in a pickup truck equipped with heavy weaponry, including a heavy machine gun and a mortar.

Lu Chen drove, Mike sat in the passenger seat, and Adile sat in the back seat, fully armed at the moment.

Mike waved and said into his headset, "Let's go, Baghdadi village."

Lu Chen nodded vigorously, slammed on the gas, and the Hummer roared like a wild beast as it shot off like a cannonball.

The two cars headed west, leaving a trail of dust on the road.

As Lu Chen drove, he kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his gaze sharp as he observed every detail.

Mike fiddled with his submachine gun, wiping it constantly. He said with a smile, "Chen, don't be so nervous. Just treat it as a trip. Rahman has suffered three defeats, so he shouldn't try to intercept us again. In Maisan province, besides Rahman and Ibn, we're pretty safe."

"I hope so," Lu Chen said softly, but he didn't think so. A gut feeling told him that this mission was not simple. Just like Adile said, if there were traitors around Ibn, would they let Adile go back? Obviously not, so they would definitely intercept him.

Thinking of this, he said seriously, "Boss, prepare a backup route. I have a bad feeling."

"Alright, whatever you say, but I promise I won't need it." Mike nodded and said, seeing Lu Chen's serious expression.

Lu Chen smiled and stared intently ahead. The Hummer was moving very fast, speeding along the dirt road like a wild beast.

After driving for nearly an hour, Lu Chen got a little tired, so Mike took over driving. Mike hummed a little tune, looking very relaxed.

Lu Chen sat in the passenger seat, with Adile behind him, extending her long, slender, and fair hand to massage his shoulders. As she massaged him, she asked, "Chen, does it feel good?"

"That's comfortable, but please calm down and rest for a while," Lu Chen said softly. At this moment, any carelessness could lead to huge losses.

As time went by, the sun came overhead, and the carriage became unbearably hot. Even so, Lu Chen did not remove his heavy equipment; this was his principle.

Suddenly he saw a black dot appear ahead, and as the distance closed, the dot slowly expanded until it became clear that they were moving. Lu Chen leaned forward abruptly, widened his eyes, pointed ahead, and said, "Boss, there are people ahead."

"I saw it. It must be a checkpoint set up by government troops. Once we get over there, we'll be in Ibn's territory, and we'll be much safer," Mike said with a laugh.

Lu Chen frowned. He felt something was wrong. Shouldn't the checkpoints be set up with obstacles to block passing vehicles? But they weren't. There were more than a dozen people patrolling, with at least four vehicles on the side, each with a heavy machine gun mounted on it.

If this thing were to drive over there and be attacked by heavy machine guns, the werewolf mercenary group would be wiped out.

He quickly shouted, "Mike, stop the car, something's wrong." These people were definitely not a checkpoint; they were waiting here specifically for Adile, which was his worst-case scenario.
