Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 879 - 822: High Moral Disadvantage

Mountain Eagle had no direct feeling about Razer's so-called 'wolf disaster,' but he had been to many places. In his impression, anyone who might encounter wild wolves in their life would utterly despise these creatures, especially herders who hated them the most...

There was once a famous book called 'Wolf Totem,' which portrayed wolves as an image worshiped by the prairie herders.

But in reality, anyone involved in the herding business on the prairie, regardless of where they are, would basically strike hard according to local laws once wolf tracks were discovered.

Kill if you can; if not, scare them away!

But whether they are driven off or killed, it shows how hated wolves are!

If these creatures ever feed at a herder's place once, they would regard the herder's ranch as a cafeteria. Moreover, they would kill for fun, not just for food.

Most importantly, wild wolves hold grudges...

The behavior of these creatures is somewhat similar to mercenaries, spotting opponents, tracking them, looking for opportunities, and then launching a deadly attack once opponents show any weakness.

Mountain Eagle, being incredibly strong as an individual, didn't feel much about the 'wolf disaster' type of thing!

But since even an old gun like Razer was showing some anxiety, Mountain Eagle, intent on nurturing Yue Yi's sense of responsibility, certainly had to put on enough of a show...

Only by creating a tense atmosphere could he assign tasks to Yue Yi while simultaneously imposing pressure on him.

Mountain Eagle was actually a first-time dad, unsure if his approach was appropriate. The one thing he was confident about was that he wasn't afraid of his son making mistakes...

He imagined that the best way was to let his son experience setbacks under his protection while cultivating his sense of responsibility.

With this in mind, Mountain Eagle deliberately showed anxiety on their way back...

Balang and the four War Wolves wore ropes when they returned, using the sled to drag over a dozen Gray Wolf carcasses as they trudged arduously through the snow.

The wolf pack that kept appearing and disappearing behind them, combined with the occasional wolf howls, intensified the anxious atmosphere.

Yue Yi and Zack were squeezed among the carcasses of the Gray Wolves, the strong stench and the vague pressure from behind made Yue Yi unusually restless.

Whenever a wolf howl sounded, he would immediately turn around and place the small-caliber shotgun on the Gray Wolf carcasses...

The tense mood caused Yue Yi's ears to turn red, his heart to race, and his body to start generating heat.

The special constitution made this kid extremely excited, yet there was a sense of frustration at having nowhere to apply his energy...

Mountain Eagle remained silent, burying his head while following Razer, hurrying over the mountains...

The two had been walking for nearly two and a half hours before they reached the northern foot of the village.

Just as they were about to cross the frozen creek, Zack on the sled suddenly shouted, "Look over there..."

Mountain Eagle abruptly turned, following Zack's pointed direction, seeing a few Gray Wolves appearing to the northwest of the village. The moment they saw this side stop, one of the Gray Wolves raised its neck and let out a howl...

"Awoooo, ooo..."

Immediately, howling rose from the forest from which they'd come...

When the wolf howls began, several people wearing heavy furs rushed out of the village and fired a few shots in the direction of the wolf pack from afar...

The bullets didn't hit the target due to the distance, but the gunfire startled those Gray Wolves...

Watching as the wolf pack that appeared northwest of the village crossed the upstream of the frozen creek and charged into the forest, while Xiao Wan and the others rushed out of his cabin in the distance to check the situation, Mountain Eagle turned and called out to Balang, then started to speed up with a serious expression...

The wolf pack and gunfire turned the originally peaceful village lively. In the past few days, except for smoke continuously rising from chimneys, Mountain Eagle hadn't seen a few villagers...

Now, all the able-bodied men and women staying in the village appeared, each with a gun in hand!

Upon entering the village, Razer hastily parted ways with Mountain Eagle. He went home to find the phone book and use the satellite phone to inquire about the situation in surrounding villages.

Mountain Eagle, on the other hand, brought the two children and over a dozen Gray Wolf carcasses back to the cabin...

Everyone in the cabin was alarmed. Xiao Wan and Tessa stood on the porch in front of the door with shotguns, while the Special Service Team led by Griffin was fully armed...

Upon seeing Mountain Eagle return with the kids, Xiao Wan ran over to meet them. When she saw the pile of Gray Wolf corpses on the sled and the son and Zack sitting among the carcasses, she glared at Mountain Eagle and said, "Did you go digging into a wolf den?"

As she spoke, Xiao Wan pinched the face of her son, who smelled foul and had slightly reddened eyes, saying irritably, "What did Tessa feed you to make you so enchanted?

For a wolf skin, you want to wipe out the entire wolf pack!"

Yue Yi couldn't understand the emotional issues between adults. In response to his mother's words, the little boy shouted, "Mom, Razer said these wild wolves are bad, they would eat people...

We need to kill them all, or many people will get hurt."

Xiao Wan glared angrily at the 'inactive' Mountain Eagle, and said, "Is this how you teach your son?

Do you have to kill everything at the drop of a hat?

Is random slaughter of wildlife even allowed by law?"

Mountain Eagle found it inconvenient to explain his thoughts to Xiao Wan at the moment. With a solemn expression, he said, "If necessary, then kill them all.

We've never experienced the 'wolf disaster' Razer talked about, but he said it's very dangerous, so it's definitely extremely dangerous."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at Griffin who followed, and said seriously, "From now on, we're entering a state of combat readiness. Assign shifts to everyone, and ensure there's round-the-clock surveillance.

We encountered the Wolf Pack on the mountain, their aggression is very strong. If not for the snow slowing them down, giving us space to shoot, we wouldn't be so relaxed now.

If ordinary people encounter a Wolf Pack around the village or in complex terrains, the outcome would be hard to say…"

As an Easterner, Xiao Wan has a deeply ingrained framework for animal protection.

But she rarely sees Mountain Eagle look so serious, so she suppressed her inner unease, frowned while thinking for a moment, then decisively grabbed Zack to turn around, walking back while speaking to Griffin, "Keep all the children inside the house; without confirmation of safety, don't let them run outside."

Mountain Eagle watched Xiao Wan take the children back inside, and then instructed Balang and the others to pull the sled to the cabin door. He embraced the somewhat anxious Tessa waiting there, then turned back pointing at the Gray Wolf carcass and said, "Fist has been clamoring since we went up the mountain to give you a piece of Wolf Skin...

Now I've brought them all back. You can pick one later, and I'll personally skin it for you, then find someone in the village to treat it so you can take it back as a gift."

Tessa glanced at those wolf corpses, squeezed Mountain Eagle's shoulder tightly against his chest, then tip-toed to kiss his cheek, and said with a smile, "Well, I must thank Fist, that kid will surely be liked by the girls in the future..."

Saying this, Tessa sniffed Mountain Eagle's body, then pushed him, saying, "Hurry inside and wash up, the wolf's problem can be set aside, other trouble has come to the village..."

"What trouble?"

Mountain Eagle frowned, watching as Tiffany and Lilith, also fully armed, emerged from the house. He said in a deep voice, "Has the injured person encountered issues?"

Tessa shook her head and pushed Mountain Eagle again, "Shortly after you left today, two people came with rescue personnel to take Kerry Cantona away...

But after they left, another group came with a map, wanting to find a guide into the mountain in the village."

Mountain Eagle hearing this basically understood what was happening...

The tactic of the desperate Kerry Cantona had devised didn't work.

He probably held chips that could cause trouble for the opponent, but in this mutual gameplay scenario, the opponents would surely want to grasp more chips.

What could be better chips than Kerry Cantona's family?

Kerry Cantona wasn't entirely without wit; he first threw himself out and used the harsh natural environment to buy some time for his gameplay against the opponent.

He let Kahong take sufficient supplies up the mountain to rescue people; firstly, at Hunter's Lodge supplies were exhausted, and without replenishment, his family couldn't hold out, and secondly, probably wanted to delay some time.

But the opponents clearly didn't follow his plan, their people divided into two waves, the first wave took Kerry Cantona away, and the second was targeting his family.

In the case of information isolation, Kerry Cantona would surely suffer!

But this wasn't Mountain Eagle's concern, he frowned as he walked to the cabin door and looked at Tiffany and Lilith, whose expressions were somewhat grim, saying, "Kahong hasn't reached the destination, without confirming the payment, how could you let the person go?"

Tiffany and Lilith glanced at each other and said, "That guy's injured leg developed an infection, and triggered high fever, by noon, his consciousness was quite unclear.

Here lacks conditions for leg surgery, Lilith judged if he's not sent to a hospital for surgery within 24 hours, his survival is questionable.

So when those people came, I blocked them outside, and let Lilith administer medication to him, and while he was lucid, let him record a message."

Saying this, Tiffany looked in a certain direction in the village, shaking her head and said, "I'm not sure if doing this can help Kahong secure their commission either...

But if it can save some innocent people, it isn't entirely without gains, right?"

Mountain Eagle nodded in understanding...

This is the 'high moral disadvantage'!

When you need to abide by moral constraints, facing unscrupulous opponents, you often end up at a disadvantage.

At this point, institutional force needs to intervene to uphold the dignity of 'morality'...

But the irony is, often in this world, bad people are more familiar with the law, more knowledgeable about how to leverage the power of rules.

Mountain Eagle followed Tiffany's gaze towards the village center, where a few men were inquiring among the villagers about the happenings...

Soon, after some conversation, a skinny middle-aged man headed towards Razer's house...
