Chapter 1062: Preparing for the Final Battle
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_
The team that escorted relief necessities were attacked at the refugee camp. The mob even forced the special forces to falter.
After receiving the news, Sardes arrived at the headquarters immediately.
“Not just the fleet, but eleven supply stations in the camps were also attacked. The medical staff and security guards have been taken hostage. The military factories outside the refugee camp are also occupied… These snakes.” The brigade commander in charge of the military base slammed his fist against the map.“We should immediately seek help from the Finnish side. The situation is now out of control. It’s only through mobilizing the army—” an advisor suggested.
Just then, the door was pushed open and Carmen walked in.
“Don’t inform Finland—them taking over the issue will only make this simple suppression into a humanitarian crisis,” Carmen said emotionlessly as he stood in front of the map with his hands behind him. “There’s no doubt that Celestial Trade was behind all of this. Very good, very good, very good….”
Carmen nodded and said three “very goods” in a row. Carmen grinned peculiarly and suddenly looked at the brigade commander in charge of the base.
“How many new recruits are there at the base?”
“A total of 4,000 people…” The brigade commander immediately reacted. “Are you worried that they will revolt and join the refugees? That’s certainly a possibility, but…”
“Take them to the underground research institute, and my guards will take care of them.” Carmen turned around and ordered in an irrefutable tone: “Just say that there’s a riot outside and they need to temporarily enter the underground bunker.”The three men stared at each other in confusion while Carmen left the room.
On a hill one kilometer away, Kutpov quietly observed the movements at Arrow base with his binoculars.
For the past few days, he and his Alpha team lurked there, looking for opportunities to sneak into the base. With the arrival of Carmen, an entire brigade was added to the base’s forces, but the patrol frequency more than doubled.
It wasn’t until today that they finally got their opportunity.
First, there was black smoke in the direction of the refugee camp a few kilometers away. Then the special forces at the military base were dispatched urgently. Combined with the information about the mobilization of Celestial Trade weapons from the rear, it must be the Ghost Agents making a move.
However, these agents were indeed ruthless. They stuffed more than 5,000 guns into the hands of “terrorist reserves”. The security situation in Finland would be messy for a while…
Kutpov grinned with the thought in mind, and the scars and wrinkles on his face mixed together.
He gestured at the team behind him, then took out a hook lock and got up from the snow.
“Get ready. Set off in two minutes.”
Just as the Alpha team started its operations, the battle at the refugee camp was over.
All four Blackhawk helicopters were down, and one of the two heavy transport helicopters was also taken down while the other one escaped. With air support completely eliminated, the mercenaries who originally reinforced their defenses now lost the only advantage they had.
The exoskeleton that covered the entire body in steel was indeed strong, but the strongest armor couldn’t stop an attack from the refugees. Especially the guy who got a Molotov cocktail tossed onto his face—he turned into a ball of fire along with his armor. It was especially miserable since Jiang Chen didn’t know if he died suffocating or burned alive. Neither of those possibilities sounded humanitarian. He just remembered that when the fire on the poor fellow was extinguished, the steel plate in front of his chest turned red…
When the fierceness of these believers was ignited, their combat power was nothing to scoff at.
After the end of the battle, the refugees unleashed their bullets into the air and yelled out to express their joy of victory. Ten bruised mercenaries were tied up by ropes and taken to the square of the refugee camp. They were pinned to the ground by more than 20 strong men.
Sami, who was carrying a rifle, went to the center of the square. He pretended he was a hero who liberated his people from “slavery.” He wasn’t used to this change in identity, but the mercenaries who were kneeling on the ground were also in disbelief.
Three days ago, Sami was just a hound for Arrow.
“I was angry when I learned about the massacre that took place at the 7th Institute.”
In the center of the square, standing in front of the ten captives, Sami grinned cruelly and looked around the refugees.
“A lot of people might be confused. Why do we have to stand up and resist? Because they killed a few of our people? Wrong! What really makes me angry isn’t that they used a knife to dig out our livers but that they view as livestock. They’re feeding us, and when they need us, they pull a group of us out to die. We have to lie on the operating table to help them with their human experiments. But we treat all of this as if it’s normal!”
“This isn’t normal!”
Sami lowered his voice and loaded the rifle. The mercenaries seemed to have guessed what he was going to do and looked at him in horror. They tried to shrink back but were held firmly by the people behind them. They could only make pig-like cries with their sealed mouths.
“We aren’t captive camels. We’re wolves in the desert. We will use our claws and teeth to tear up the pagans who oppressed us!”
His voice was impassioned, and Sami aimed at the mercenaries on the ground, gnashing his teeth.
“Let them loose and we’ll give them a chance to escape. Halal will decide their fate.”
The sound of the assault rifle echoed in the square. The injured captives with their hands and feet tied up simply couldn’t escape, not to mention that there was a wall behind them.
The blood painted the wall red, and the refugees cheered at their leader. Even the refugees who were still hesitating were now influenced by the “sacred war”. They turned into fanatical war activists in the next second.
“I told you, we didn’t have to do it ourselves.” He was standing on the roof of the building not far from the central square. When he saw that the “gunpowder barrel” was ignited, he smiled. “They’re natural warriors. The genes of war are integrated into their bone marrow. They have everything that civilized people don’t have, and they’ve hardly changed with the times.”
Not far away, the Sami gang…or now the Sami Army, the militants who used red headscarves as a symbol, had begun to distribute the supplies they captured to the refugees.
Three days ago, the Sami gang suppressed the refugees and made a living by exploiting them, but now they became the heroes of the same group of people.
It was quite ironic.
“Boss, you’re a genius.” Seemingly disingenuous and without sparks in her eyes, Monica put her hands in front of her and admired Jiang Chen. At the same time, she eyed Ayesha beside Jiang Chen. “If it wasn’t for the Instructor, I might not have stopped myself from falling for you.”
Ayesha glanced at her in confusion with a look that seemed to say: Why? I obviously don’t mind.
However, Jiang Chen, who was aware she was joking, laughed aloud.
“Stop trying to flatter me—I won’t give you a raise. There’s a military base waiting for us. We’ll leave in half an hour, so go and get ready.”
“Whatever. How do you know I was flattering you? What if I really meant it?”
With a smile, Monica turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Chen didn’t answer but turned his eyes to gaze outside the refugee camp, in the direction of Arrow’s military base.
With a curvature on his lips, he tightened his fists.
Finally, this was the moment.
It was time to end the war…
