Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1031 - 965: Preparing for the Assault

Mountain Eagle doesn't know what Robbin and Galahad were talking about...

Even if he knew, he would only applaud Robbin's choice!

Gathering all the excellent people around him has never been Mountain Eagle's habit...

Because truly outstanding people have their personalities, forcibly bringing them together, unifying thoughts, is a big problem.

People like Robbin are completely different from Butcher and them back in the day, who just wanted to earn a living for their families.

This guy has passion in his heart, ideals in his eyes, and youthful pride in his bones. Compared to Galahad, who is thoroughly tired of the mercenary life, people like Robbin are more suited for collaboration rather than being pulled in as subordinates.

It's like doing business: instead of keeping such young and ambitious people close by, it's better to position them somewhere in the supply chain. With some support, you can gain more goodwill and assistance.

With those thoughts, Mountain Eagle finds it hard to settle down to build and hone a combat team.

Because he naturally feels that letting those extremely belligerent guys out there and supporting them in difficult times, then hiring them when needed, is the most beneficial approach.

On the contrary, it's folks like Galahad who are keen on transformation, or those with technical or commercial capability, that Mountain Eagle would make efforts to win over, incorporating them into his blueprint.

Different needs decide that folks like Blood Fox and Galahad find it hard to understand Mountain Eagle's thoughts!

The establishment of the Arctic Fox Foundation is fundamentally a 'supply-side reform!'

It's about restructuring, transforming Arctic Fox from being a combat power supplier into a charitable organization, completely reconstructing the revenue model, removing the limitation of 'mercenary' identity, diversifying revenue, and aligning the organizational structure closer to traditional NGOs.

Its core isn't about Arctic Fox doing anti-trafficking work, but using reform to satisfy Mountain Eagle's moral purity while making Arctic Fox 'needed'...

The issues in Serbia had just ended, and people were still adapting to Arctic Fox's transformation...

But when the situation in Mexico started fermenting, and people realized that Arctic Fox's target was crime syndicates profiting from human trafficking, with concrete achievements...

At that time, ignoring Arctic Fox's legality in Mexico, outside of the jurisdiction of this country, Arctic Fox became a legitimate existence, needed by families afflicted by disappearances, trafficking, and crime!

There are plenty of similar NGO organizations in the world that have done countless things against local laws elsewhere yet managed to walk openly in the mainstream society of Europe and America.

Some hate them, while others admire them to the extreme!

Such unique non-governmental organizations born in capitalist societies naturally develop a certain defining power after reaching a certain level.

Compared to grabbing money, killing people, and feeding with guns, this is the model appreciated by elites like Mountain Eagle!

Of course, there's another crucial point: Mountain Eagle really doesn't need a lot of combat power. When he acts, he's sometimes more unrestrained and smooth.

Just like now...

Walking in the alley, Mountain Eagle avoided possible gazes around him and, from the Sergeant System, took out a hybrid 4WD off-road vehicle in a covert location...

The appearance of the vehicle is very similar to the 'Polar Star All-Terrain Off-Road Vehicle' used by the US Army, but the Polar Star focuses on off-road capabilities and lightness, so its defense capability is almost none, whereas the 'Sergeant All-Terrain Vehicle' can carry four people and is equipped with bulletproof glass.

Also, in the not too big rear cargo of the 'Sergeant All-Terrain Vehicle', there is a fully automatic weapons station equipped with an automatic grenade launcher and 24 Spearhead Missiles.

All these weapons can be concentrated on tactical glasses through the Sergeant's intelligent tactical system for control.

With it, Mountain Eagle is equivalent to having the firepower of a squad by himself, which gives him the confidence to set off alone, leaving Robbin behind...

Besides, another crucial reason is that the Sergeant System quietly 'consumed' half of the seized nuclear fuel, causing another transformation.

The emergence of a new 'fuel cell' has brought those machines Mountain Eagle previously disdained into the 'usable' options.

Meanwhile, Crow, Golden Cicada, and flexible exoskeleton armor, which have become Mountain Eagle's core combat power, have again completed upgrades...

Detection distances are farther, clearer, endurance capability stronger, and various tactical accessories that can be used with flexible exoskeletons have increased.

As Mountain Eagle drove the Sergeant All-Terrain Vehicle out of a concealed position and headed towards the target direction, the small brothers of the drug cartel on the road hadn't realized what was happening...

The drug cartel has various bizarre modified armored vehicles for combat needs. Mountain Eagle's vehicle looks strange, but it doesn't make cartel people feel it's science fiction, at most it's just faster than the cars or trucks they've modified.

Mountain Eagle sat in the extremely rudimentary cockpit, controlling the vehicle to speed through the city, and dialed Ryan Donovan's phone...

After the call connected, Ryan Donovan's somewhat nervous voice came from the other end...

"Sir, where are you now?"

Mountain Eagle actually knew Ryan's location, he gripped the steering wheel hard, completed a drift at an intersection, in the stunned gazes of gang members, executed an extremely tight small-radius turn at the intersection...

On hitting the straight path, Mountain Eagle laughed and said: "I'm ten minutes away from you...

You've been tracking Claudia Felix for a while, I'm ready to assault her hideout, so I need some advice..."

Ryan on the other end of the phone remained silent for a few seconds, said nervously: "Sir, Claudia's location is in a standalone mansion in the city centre. A few hours ago, most of Los Zetas' senior figures appeared here.

The mansion houses nearly 40 professional security personnel, and there are over a hundred gang gunmen surrounding it, and I'm pretty sure there's a tunnel leading to the outside from that house."

Mountain Eagle was a bit surprised and curiously said: "Are these guys out of their minds, why gather together? In this situation, if the Mexican side dares to take action, they could deal a heavy blow in one go."

Ryan thought for a moment and said: "Sir, based on my observations, Claudia Felix's control over Los Zetas isn't solid. She holds the most profitable channels, but her style doesn't convince everyone.

If she can't gather most around her, she can't mobilize enough people.

And she probably worries someone within Los Zetas might betray her!"

Saying this, Ryan cautiously asked: "Sir, how many of you came?"

Mountain Eagle smiled and said: "Just me..."

"Ah?"

Ryan responded incredulously: "Sir, are you joking?

I have only six people here, even with you and me combined, we're just eight. How could we possibly get in?"

Then Ryan tentatively asked: "Sir, can you call in air support?"

Mountain Eagle thought for a moment, looked at his watch, then nodded slightly and said: "Let's say so...

So do you have any good suggestions?"

Ryan, hearing this, discussed with people around him and said: "Sir, the mansion covers a vast area, with only apparent front and rear exits. If an attack happens and people inside sense danger, they will certainly escape through the secret tunnel.

If we could use aerial firepower to apply enough pressure, maybe we could intercept them on the outside.

However, there's a problem: even if they escape through the tunnel, to capture them alive we still have to face dozens of experienced bodyguards, not only have they bulletproof vehicles but also heavy firepower.

The most crucial point, even if we succeed, how can we withdraw from the city centre?

The surrounding is filled with their people, that Claudia Felix controls Los Zetas' largest wealth channel and funds. If they detect a problem, they'll intercept us at all costs."

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle contemplated for a while and said: "I'll find a way to locate the underground passage, then intercept them at the exit.

As for you guys...

I have a task for you, complete it, and previous debts will be written off, I'll also provide you a bonus of 50,000 US Dollars...

What do you think?"

On the other end of the phone, Ryan decisively said: "No problem, boss, as long as it's not a suicide mission, we're okay!"

Mountain Eagle could sense Ryan's cunning, but he didn't mind, as he doesn't want others to die needlessly...

Besides, this guy's abilities aren't bad, there's plenty of opportunity for collaboration in future.

So, facing Ryan's highly flexible promise, Mountain Eagle pretended not to notice the subtext and smiled, saying: "I need you to create chaos at the front and rear exits of the mansion once the attack starts.

Just make the people inside feel uneasy, convincing them main road withdrawal isn't safe."

Hearing the heavy breathing from the other end of the phone, Mountain Eagle smiled and said: "This job isn't difficult at all, create some explosions, block roads with smoke bombs, and let the drug cartel people panic.

Those inside are all high-ups, they're all afraid of dying..."

Ryan, hearing this, decisively nodded and said: "If it's just that, no problem.

We've been observing the area for several hours, if needed, we can feign an attack, but it can't last too long.

5 minutes or so would be enough to make those inside feel pressured..."
