Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 1038 - 972: Sarcasm

Mountain Eagle encountered an interception while moving forward. Two police cars, with four black Chevrolet SUVs, forcibly charged at the front of his vehicle, forcing him to turn sharply before stopping in front of a mound...

The "Cleaner," who had already been instructed, decisively got out of the car with a gun, using the vehicle as cover, and began to be on alert with a pistol raised.

After confirming that Mountain Eagle and his team had stopped, the people from the convoy parked about 30 meters away from them and also got out, using vehicles to engage in a standoff with Mountain Eagle and his team.

Due to the large amount of dust stirred up by both sides, the standoff lasted nearly two minutes before a police officer in a Texas state police uniform used the police car's loudspeaker to start shouting.

"Drop your weapons..."

Mountain Eagle looked at the dozen or so armed personnel in black combat uniforms coming out of the SUVs and found that they were using the same equipment as those from the 19th Airborne special forces...

Realizing that this situation likely wouldn't end well, Mountain Eagle took out his phone, urged Kobe, and then turned on the phone's shooting mode, wedging it in the gap below the car window. He then shouted loudly to the police officer speaking, "We are consultants working with the Department of Homeland Security. Whatever you intend to do, you've got the wrong people!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced back at the "barely alive" Ryan Donovan and then shouted loudly to the police, "I've already notified the Refugee Group of the Department of Homeland Security, and they will arrive soon.

I have a seriously ill person here. If I can't get him to the hospital quickly, he'll die!"

The scenario was a bit different from what the arriving police and soldiers imagined...

Seeing the fierce-looking "Cleaners" holding guns in one hand and phones in the other, these people were a bit baffled as well; the person their superiors instructed them to capture seemed not to be here...

Using force on a group claiming to be Homeland Security consultants at this time would not only prevent them from completing their mission but also bring additional trouble.

The dust between the two sides gradually dissipated, and the originally tense atmosphere became somewhat peculiar...

Mountain Eagle keenly captured the hesitation of the other party. He pulled out his CZ75, pinching it between two fingers, placed it on the car's engine, and then voluntarily walked out from the vehicle's cover with hands raised, shouting loudly, "Don't shoot, I have a critically ill patient here who needs continued medical assistance...

You can verify my identity with the Department of Homeland Security and then let us leave this place."

Mountain Eagle had explained to this point. The other side still hadn't relaxed. Two police officers consulted with a soldier in black, after which a pot-bellied old white male state police officer picked up the loudspeaker again...

"Verifying your identity will take time. Everyone, put down your guns..."

Mountain Eagle really disliked the current situation, but the consequences of taking out a group with an official background inside the United States were really hard to predict. Frowning, he observed the situation of the other side, thought for a moment, then extended his left hand, waving it, and said to those "Cleaners," "Put down the guns..."

The "Cleaners" had already been instructed. Faced with Mountain Eagle's command, they didn't hesitate much and threw the pistols onto the ground ahead, raising their hands and voluntarily walking to the front of the car.

Their choice was very clever; if the other side moved slightly, they could turn back to the other side of the engine, using the vehicle as cover, awaiting a miraculous call for bombardment from Boss Eagle.

However, the other side did not make any extreme actions. After seeing them all put down their weapons, several police officers beckoned the black-clad soldiers forward...

Eight soldiers from the 19th Airborne special forces, armed with automatic rifles, moved forward quickly in a tactical posture. Two towering soldiers rushed in front of Mountain Eagle, one of them ordered loudly with a gun pointed at Mountain Eagle to turn around, while the other rushed to check the vehicle.

Each pair handled a car, quickly controlling the situation and inspecting the vehicles.

Not finding the person they were looking for made these soldiers a bit restless...

The soldier assigned to guard Mountain Eagle forcefully pushed Mountain Eagle's hand onto the engine and then began to search him.

The soldier's actions were quite rough. After he finished, Mountain Eagle straightened up his body, turned to the masked soldier, and said with a smile, "People from the White House should be grateful this country has soldiers like you!

How about taking off the mask and taking a photo together, so I know where to send the thank you letter and to whom afterward."

At this moment, the soldier inspecting the car discovered the phone wedged in the car window recording, cursed, took it down forcibly, and, after watching the recorded footage, ran furiously to Mountain Eagle and shouted, "Why are you recording?

What are you trying to do?"

Mountain Eagle looked at the agitated masked soldier and said with a smile, "As an external consultant for the Department of Homeland Security, to ensure our rights aren't compromised and to avoid misunderstandings with other brother units, I generally record abnormal situations.

You should've seen, the video footage has already been sent out, I've been cooperative from beginning to end.

Sir, whether as a consultant for the Department of Homeland Security or as a foreigner with legal residency, I'm cooperating with your work.

If possible, I would like to ask you to lower your weapons...

Does pointing guns at allies give you a sense of security?"

Mountain Eagle looked at the soldier responsible for searching him and found that this guy didn't put down his gun and was staring at him with bloodshot eyes. He spread his hands and said, "Buddy, my patience is limited...

I'm really not used to this situation. If you insist, I'll treat you as an enemy!

Being my enemy usually ends badly!"

The masked soldier stared deeply into Mountain Eagle's eyes and said sternly, "We have a team of comrades risking their lives in Mexico. Do you have any impression of them?"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle said with a sorrowful expression, "If they are your comrades, then I'm sorry...

They fought fiercely with the Los Zetas drug cartel while covering for us to deliver the critically ill across the river. The opponents were many, and we couldn't go back to rescue them, so...

I'm deeply sorry!"

Upon hearing this, the masked soldier seemed as if he was provoked, grabbed Mountain Eagle's collar, and stared into his eyes, breathing hotly like an angry bull...

But he couldn't speak up, because that team attacked Mountain Eagle and them, and attacking the Department of Homeland Security was a matter that couldn't be brought to the surface.

The masked soldier was too shallow-minded, and Mountain Eagle instantly confirmed that this group was in cahoots with those who died across the river.

Facing the angry soldier, Mountain Eagle, like a villain in a movie, grasped this guy's wrist, slowly and firmly pushed him away, then said mockingly, "You seem very angry, but your anger is misplaced.

If you truly care about your comrades, you should figure out a way to cross the river and collect their bodies.

From what I know, Los Zetas usually don't respect corpses...

If you have seen the photos of the farm across the river, you would know that they incinerate bodies in discarded oil barrels, and it's not done particularly cleanly.

May God bless those soldiers, better not fall into the hands of the drug traffickers, or their families may never even find the bodies."

Mountain Eagle purposely paused for a moment, looked at the soldier whose eyes were about to shoot flames, patted his forehead and said, "Oh, according to United States standards, only when the bodies are found can they be considered martyrs; otherwise, they are only regarded as missing.

If you need, I can testify for them. They were very brave and made quite an impression...

Though I am just a consultant, I have some connections in the Department of Homeland Security.

Rest assured, I will definitely write a complete report on what happened and submit it."

Mountain Eagle's words were kind, but to the masked soldier, they tasted like a hidden stab to the heart...

The masked soldier couldn't find a reason to erupt, glaring at Mountain Eagle with bloodshot eyes like a raging bull, until several State Police from behind came to pull him aside, slightly easing the atmosphere...

The old white male State Police pulled the masked soldier, then smiled and moved toward Mountain Eagle with a photo, saying, "sir, everyone has been busy like crazy today, something big happened across in Mexico...

Have you seen the woman in the photo?

She is a very crucial witness, we need to find her and protect her."

Mountain Eagle squinted at the photo and found it was actually the 'Human-shaped Ledger', realizing these people had some connection to 'Arthur', he rubbed his chin...

It turns out those across the river were able to precisely block his way not because someone like Kobe leaked the information, but because of 'Arthur's' tracker.

Arthur's technical means weren't worth mentioning to Mountain Eagle, but before crossing the river, he hadn't dealt with it just to see if she left any backup considering she threatened him...

Mountain Eagle with aerial strength wanted to draw out and extinguish 'Arthur's' supposed threat, and maybe get more clues about the Death Angel.

So after landing ashore, he destroyed 'Arthur's' tracking device and acted as bait himself.

Yet he never thought, 'Arthur's' backup would actually be the 19th Airborne Special Forces, along with the Texas State Police.

If across the river Kobe's side had possibly leaked the message, then this side couldn't be coincidence.

However, without sufficient information, Mountain Eagle found it hard to make an accurate judgment, thus he needed to continue digging deeper.

He could feel not all members of the 19th Airborne Special Forces knew what was happening...

But the masked soldier and the old white male State Police definitely knew something!
