Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 942 - 880: Tumultuous Times

Mountain Eagle witnessed the so-called 'Giant Demon Farm' capabilities for the first time...

The rest time for a few old men was at 8 PM, but around midnight, Romania's social platforms started intensely refreshing various true and false messages.

Various events that happened within Romania's internal affairs over the past few days were conspiratorially packaged and launched onto social media.

Some experts linked a series of seemingly unrelated incidents such as car accidents, city center attacks, suburban fires, protests, a former prime minister's attempted suicide hospitalization, forming a conspiracy to overthrow the Romanian regime.

Then, centered on this conspiracy, two groups started competing online, with all sorts of so-called evidence being released intensively, starting to challenge the intelligence of Romanians.

This is a very clever strategy...

Because when a matter is discussed intensely, the truth of the matter sometimes gets ignored, leaving only right and wrong!

The more heated the discussion, the more real it becomes!

This is especially true in Europe, where binary opposition prevails...

Giant Demon Farm used countless small accounts to post polarized statements, thus driving a large number of polarized groups within Romania to debate online.

When the 'Edward Foundation' was cast as the villain in this show, Mountain Eagle knew the online battle was starting to be effective.

Because a slight commotion emerged within the protest crowd gathered in front of the city hall, preparing for an overnight battle...

Having worked in a state-owned enterprise, Mountain Eagle participated in many bidding activities, as both a client and a contractor, witnessing various incredible and lowly tactics...

However, this level of online manipulation by Giant Demon Farm was something he had only heard of before; this was his first time witnessing it.

The extent to which this would translate to tangible effects was still unclear, but it had indeed shaken the current situation in Bucharest.

If the online buzz could be maintained over the next two days, then as long as the Romanian ruling party was not incompetent, they should seize the opportunity to counter.

And the Rawi family's members and gunmen in the Radisson Hotel were their chips for counterattack...

At this point, facts no longer matter. Whether the people in the Radisson Hotel were dead or alive did not matter — whatever narrative my supporters believe, I will provide them.

This was Mountain Eagle's first time participating in such matters, and he found himself getting somewhat enthralled as he observed...

The sensation of manipulating public opinion and emotions was genuinely intriguing, leading him to utilize his client's identity to video chat with people at the Giant Demon Farm, discussing information deployment strategies and even offering some suggestions.

By the time a few old men woke from their rest, it was already 2 AM...

Mi Lu watched as Mountain Eagle and Blood Fox sat in front of the computer, animatedly discussing things he couldn't understand...

The old fellow walked over, patted Mountain Eagle on the shoulder, and said, "Time's about right!"

Mountain Eagle hesitated for a moment, bid farewell to a very submissive-looking Russian in the video chat, then energetically took out the weapons he had 'procured' earlier...

He unzipped two large bags, revealing a full set of combat uniforms, tactical bulletproof vests, multiple silenced weapons, and subsonic ammunition...

Mountain Eagle was the first to don a bulletproof vest and helmet, then he picked up his VSS, checking it before attaching various auxiliary components to himself...

Mi Lu exchanged a glance with a few others, then bent down to pick up a Russian-made large caliber silenced sniper rifle VSSK...

This gun, with its 12.7mm caliber and 600-meter range, could provide Mi Lu with strong cover from the periphery.

The VSSK is essentially the upgraded version of the VSS used by Mountain Eagle; not only has the caliber and power increased, but the integrated silencer and special subsonic ammunition allow this gun's shooting sound effect to be minimized to the extent that it is hard to discern unless really listening for it over hundreds of meters or a wall.

Mi Lu did not choose an outfit like Mountain Eagle's, instead wearing the relatively lightweight tactical vest he used during the day, also omitting the helmet.

The old fellow noticed Mountain Eagle seemed about to say something, waved him off, and said, "You surely wouldn't have me, a sniper, rush into the hotel with you; you only have me as a sniper for cover, I want to run faster."

Mountain Eagle looked at Mi Lu's protruding beer belly, slightly nodded, and said, "Then you and Blood Fox stay in the outer area to support us. I parked a car on the roadside earlier; how you use it is up to you..."

A group of experienced folks didn't even need Mountain Eagle to instruct them; they knew their roles...

Eddie and Camel were to join Mountain Eagle in the assault operation as partners, so they chose the same bulletproof vests and HK416D, the short-barrel silenced version commonly used by Seal Six Team, pairing it with subsonic bullets...

After Eddie finished prepping his automatic rifle, he selected a P226 handgun, slipping it into a quick-draw holster on his thigh, then provocatively raised his chin at Camel and said, "Can you handle it?"

Camel casually picked up a CZ75, the same model as Mountain Eagle's, slipped it into his holster, nodded, and said, "I'm so good right now that I couldn't be better!"

With that, Camel donned a tactical waist belt and seriously said to Mountain Eagle, "Mountain Eagle, you're sure the Romanians won't cause us trouble, right?"

Mountain Eagle, assisting Mi Lu in adjusting the advanced gear on him, hesitated, then nodded and smiled, saying, "The current group in power won't cause us trouble; at most, they'll do some cosmetic chasing."

Camel nodded upon hearing this, reached into the arms bag to grab a few hand grenades and attached them to himself, while loading two gas bombs into the waist belt's pockets, and hung a small gas mask on his waist as well.

"Then let's make the scene a bit bigger..."

Mountain Eagle glanced at Camel's gear setup, nodding slightly...

The old man's so-called 'big scene' just meant more casualties, entirely different from what he imagined.

As long as heavy weapons weren't used, not causing collateral damage to nearby innocent civilians, Mountain Eagle had no objections!

Bucharest is an international European core; using heavy weapons in the capital is asking for trouble due to the different nature of the situation.

That's why since arriving here, Mountain Eagle has insisted on using small-caliber rifles and has kept the Spring Knife suicide drone and Spearhead Missile hidden.

After confirming everyone's equipment was fine, Mountain Eagle packed up the remaining items, waved his hand, and said, "Let's move out, Blood Fox and Mi Lu form a group, take the gear and assist us from the outskirts..."

Eddie and Camel come with me to the hotel, where the authorities have someone waiting to cooperate with us, but as Camel said, we can't trust them 100%, so once the attack is successful, we must retreat immediately.

The target group has booked four executive suites on the Radisson Hotel's top floor and has arranged security at the elevator entrance: although their arrogance is puzzling, it makes our action more convenient.

The opponents are 19 in number; we will quickly enter and exit, resolving the battle in as close to 15 minutes as possible..."

At such critical moments, Mountain Eagle always exudes confidence that makes people take notice...

Eddie and Camel exchanged a glance and chuckled, "You're getting older, don't slow us down."

Camel rolled his old eyes, picked up a large black hooded cloak, draped it over himself, and pulled up the hood to cover the helmet on his head...

Then he proactively opened the apartment door, tilted his head and said to Mountain Eagle, "Let's hurry; maybe when it's over, I can even nap in the car.

We don't want captives, right?"

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, saying, "If it's convenient, grab the leader and take him, but if it's troublesome then forget it.

When I say 'convenient,' I mean as convenient as closing a door or turning off a light, without any forced effort."

Camel grinned while walking and whispered, "Then let's say ten minutes, taking too long makes us seem too old..."

Mountain Eagle found the old man's confidence amusing, exchanged a look with Eddie, and grabbed a cloak to follow out.

The apartment was right next to the famous Athena Temple in Romania; turn right at the entrance and 500 meters past an intersection is the Radisson Hotel.

Of course, they couldn't enter through the main entrance flamboyantly, so they opted for a detour through alleyways, taking nearly 20 minutes to reach the west entrance of the Radisson Hotel.

The three of them moved like ghosts through the shadows of the buildings, quickly reaching the hotel's main building side employee entrance.

The hotel's first floor is about a meter off the ground, so there's a platform and a ramp at the employee entrance, making it easier to roll goods into the hotel.

Just as Mountain Eagle and the others were about to arrive, two uniformed hotel service staff came out with a lighter...

Mountain Eagle gestured to stop, and the three stuck to the shadows of the building wall with extremely slow, gentle footsteps.

The darkness of early morning, coupled with shadow coverage, hid them from the two service staff just yards away.

Mountain Eagle pressed against the wall, watching the two service staff smoke with their backs to him, slowly taking out a mobile phone and quickly sending a piece of edited information.

Two minutes later, the employee entrance door was opened again; a middle-aged man in a foreman's uniform scolded the two young men lightly, telling them to return to their posts.

Once they were gone, Mountain Eagle signaled with his hand, then approached the entrance door, waited several seconds, and lightly knocked on the door...

"Whizz... click..."

With two soft sounds, the electronically locked door opened from the inside...

A guy in a trench coat with the collar pulled high covering his chin and mouth hesitated when he saw Mountain Eagle, then handed over an electronic card, whispering, "Take the emergency staircase; your target is on the 9th floor...

The ninth floor is the executive suite area; its circuitry has been specially modified, using an independent line, and the distribution box is positioned by the rooftop exit.

The executive suite area is equipped with emergency lighting; once the main power is cut off, it will illuminate within 15 seconds.

They've purposely blocked corridor surveillance, but from the ground floor and elevator cameras, we estimate there are currently 19 of them, but we can't determine if they have weapons...

Romania's Intelligence Bureau field agents will receive the report and arrive here in 30 minutes; you have just 30 minutes to complete the mission."

Listening to the concise yet orderly briefing, Mountain Eagle nodded in appreciation, saying, "Thank you; you can leave now, leave the ones upstairs to us..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle entered with the electronic card, successfully opening a safety door; before entering the emergency staircase, he turned back to look at the man, casually handing him a business card and whispering, "My name's Mountain Eagle, you seem like intelligence personnel...

If you ever think of changing your job, feel free to give me a call!"
