Chapter 986 The end of the mercenary
With the motivation of money, the mercenaries are full of energy.
Although, their combat effectiveness is as good as that of the regular army, and they are basically inferior to that of the regular army.
However, the victory lies in the small formation and high flexibility, coupled with the various individual heavy weapons and drones funded by Zhang Tuohai, it is still enough to deal with some small transport convoys and material strongholds.
Then, these mercenaries searched for weakly defended strongholds throughout the Lighthouse Country, and then destroyed them in exchange for bounties.
Suddenly, the lighthouse country was stirred up by war smoke everywhere.
This caused the guards to find themselves in a very embarrassing situation.
They need to mobilize more people and more equipment to protect their supply points and supply transport teams.
This will undoubtedly disperse their forces and greatly affect their advancement speed.
If we don't do this, the supply line will not be able to be maintained, which will be very uncomfortable.
Moreover, as time went by, the supplies carried by the mercenaries were consumed more and more, and civilians fled on a large scale. Survival forced them to attack the supply lines, otherwise, their survival would become a problem.
Gradually, the mercenaries developed a life-and-death relationship with the guards.
Both the mercenaries and the guards needed supplies from the other side, otherwise they would starve to death and be killed by this batch of weapons and ammunition. The two sides started fighting over logistical supplies.
A group of people started killing each other.
"Why have they become so powerful recently?"
Langley, the young mercenary who was the first to receive the reward, hid in a ruins and asked the old mercenary next to him.
"It's not that they suddenly became more powerful, it's that we haven't faced them head-on before."
The old mercenary swept the dust off his hat.
"Be careful and don't get discovered, otherwise we will all die."
"Then what should we do?" Langley asked worriedly.
"What else can we do? Hide here and then find a chance to evacuate."
The old mercenary said.
"Is it still possible to evacuate?" Langley looked not far away. Several tanks were slowly advancing. Behind the tanks were a large number of infantrymen wearing body armor. These people checked the ruins on both sides from time to time.
Is there anyone hiding inside?
"I don't know. You have to try to find out." The old mercenary gently pulled the bolt of the gun.
"If I had known earlier, I should have left after getting the first bonus."
Langley thought to himself.
However, at that time, after receiving the first bounty, Langley felt that the money was not enough to retire and wanted to earn more, so he followed the old mercenaries to continue to search for strongholds and supply lines that could be attacked by sneak attacks, which led them to
Going deeper and deeper, even entering the hinterland of the lighthouse country.
There are guards on all sides.
The guards also became fierce, because the mercenaries blew up many strongholds, destroyed many logistics convoys, and caused many teams to lose supplies, and some of them had relatives and friends among those teams.
Many guards were so jealous that they would beat the mercenaries to death completely when they saw them, and they would never tolerate them.
This has also made the situation of the mercenaries more and more difficult, so that now they cannot evacuate even if they want to.
Those guards didn't even care about counterinsurgency, they just blocked the mercenaries and even started to use materials to make traps, just to attract them mercenaries and kill them.
Langley and the others fell into this trap this time and fell into a trap. A small team of mercenaries were trapped in the ruins of a small town.
All the other mercenaries in the team had been killed in the previous artillery preparations, leaving only him and the experienced old mercenaries.
"I still have a way to leave now," the old mercenary said.
"What solution?" Langley asked in surprise.
It would be great if he could leave here safely. If he could leave here, he vowed to leave immediately and never come back here again.
"Throw away your weapons and raise your hands to surrender," the old mercenary said.
"Surrender? Will they accept it?" Langley couldn't believe it.
"Don't worry, what they advertise is freedom and they won't kill you indiscriminately. As long as you say you are a defender of freedom, they will not kill you casually and will give you decent treatment."
The old mercenary said.
"Really?" Langley was moved.
"Then there is still time. Come, raise your gun with me and walk out of the trenches."
The old mercenary said, raising his gun and standing up to walk out.
Upon seeing this, Langley hurriedly raised his gun, walked out of the trench and shouted: "Don't shoot, we surrender!"
"Don't move, kneel down!"
Upon hearing this, several guardsmen immediately aimed their guns at Langley.
Langley quickly followed the guard's request and knelt on the ground.
"You want to surrender?" a guard asked.
"It's us, me and... hmm?" Langley looked to the side and was stunned.
The old mercenary who had been by his side unexpectedly disappeared.
"Where's the old mercenary?"
Langley was completely stunned.
"What do you want me to ask you?"
A guard man hit Langley on the head with the butt of his rifle, causing stars to pop out of Langley's eyes.
"How do you hit someone?" Langley asked, rubbing his head.
"If I beat you, I will kill you." A guard member pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet passed through Langley's head.
Langley's body fell to the ground.
Until his death, Langley couldn't figure it out. Didn't it mean that the Guards were free and wouldn't kill people at will?
Also, where did the old mercenary go?
At this time, the old mercenary was slowly crawling forward in the sewer.
"Sorry, someone has to attract the target, I will get out alive and enjoy our bonus."
The old mercenary was startled for a moment when he heard the gunshots outside, and then continued to crawl forward.
After climbing for more than ten minutes, the old mercenary found a shaft leading up. He climbed up along the ladder, pushed the manhole cover, and found that it was pressed down by heavy objects and could not be pushed open.
"It doesn't matter, I can still leave if I change the wellhead."
The old mercenary was not worried. He returned to the sewer pipe and continued to crawl forward.
Ten minutes later, another wellhead was found, but it was still crushed to death by heavy objects.
"It doesn't matter. The whole town is in ruins. Just climb further away."
The old mercenary walked and tested all the way, climbing for more than an hour, and estimated that he was finally approaching the outside of the town. However, he was shocked to find that the road in front of him had been blown down, completely blocking the road ahead.
"Fake!"
The old mercenary kicked the collapsed tunnel hard. He would definitely not be able to dig it out by himself. He had no choice but to walk back, hoping to exit through the entrance he entered.
"Those grandsons should have left, right?" the old mercenary guessed and walked back slowly.
It took another hour to return to the starting point. At this time, the old mercenary was exhausted and could finally leave this damn sewer.
The old mercenary climbed up and pushed the manhole cover hard.
