Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 937 - 876: New Problems Require New Approaches

"You make it sound like I have a choice, don't you?"

Mountain Eagle felt somewhat helpless due to Kobe's repeated hesitations…

Knowing all too well that he's just laying the groundwork for a tough situation ahead, Mountain Eagle couldn't refuse.

Because without figuring out the cause and effect, many subsequent actions wouldn't progress smoothly at all.

On the other end of the line, Kobe Andrews was finding amusement in misery because the pressure on him had reached an extreme, and any beneficial assistance would be a godsend for him…

This was the reason Mountain Eagle dared to 'joke' at Tiriac Bank, because he knew that as long as he mentioned Death Angel, the 'Refugee Group' would step in to cover for him.

Who could have imagined that his 'joke' would entrap him to a certain extent, making him involved in Romanian political strife.

Rarely getting the upper hand in a conversation with Mountain Eagle, Kobe laughed bitterly saying, "The attack that occurred outside Baghdad in Iraq was executed by ISIS terrorists with the assistance of Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knights.

I don't know if Arctic Fox was misled, but what I have to tell you is that the woman and children the convoy was escorting were Death Angel's wife and three children.

A CIA agent named El Rawi obtained a piece of confidential intelligence and turned Death Angel's wife, leading her and the children out of terrorist-controlled areas.

Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knights were originally supposed to rescue the woman and children, but it's evident that someone altered the mission details. During the engagement, Death Angel's eldest son was killed, and his wife and the other two children were secretly transported to the United States."

Mountain Eagle listened and said, frowning, "That's impossible!

Iblis was present at the scene, if he truly is Death Angel's brother, how could he allow the mission details to be altered?"

Kobe sighed and said, "Mountain Eagle, all outside intelligence states that the 'Hyena' appeared unexpectedly, thus thwarting a conspiracy.

However, I have been to the site and have questioned El Rawi extensively, along with surviving government army and Delta soldiers…

The actual situation is that, in the eyes of those attacked, the ISIS soldiers were conducting indiscriminate attacks.

Moreover, based on the bullet extracted from Death Angel's eldest son, the fatal wound was inflicted by a 5.45 caliber ammunition.

Also considering the mid-to-late battle conditions, Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knights shifted their main focus to the 'Hyena' after its unexpected involvement, making ISIS personnel the main force attacking the convoy.

According to a surviving Delta soldier's recollection, in the late stages, there was even a moment of command confusion on their part.

The disconnect in battlefield command was the primary reason Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knights suffered significant losses!"

Mountain Eagle was stunned and somewhat curiously said, "Are you suggesting ISIS wanted to kill Death Angel's wife and children?

The more you speak, the more confused I become."

Kobe thought for a moment, and with a somewhat complex tone, said, "Mountain Eagle, from ISIS's perspective, killing Death Angel's wife and children would certainly be more advantageous to them.

A person with firm beliefs would not waver because of the unexpected death of his wife and children.

On the contrary, his wife and children being alive might instead become his weakness!"

With these words, Kobe pondered for a while and continued, "Of course, this is just one of my guesses…

It's more likely that forces capable of influencing ISIS played a role, otherwise I can't explain why those ISIS soldiers acted as they did with Iblis present.

I have a little intel, indicating that Mossad was one of the dishonorable players involved…

They seem to want to anger Death Angel to cause US casualties, thus compelling the US to increase its involvement in the Middle East and its support of Israel's far-right.

And Death Angel did as they wished, releasing a dirty bomb, although he chose a very remote area to detonate it, which was then packaged as a chemical contamination accident.

Mountain Eagle, I don't know why Death Angel went to great lengths to hire Round Table Knights through 'White Whale' to attack Arctic Fox and Holy Grail, but if my guess is correct, Death Angel is experiencing information isolation...

He's now crucial to whether ISIS can hold the borders between Iraq and Syria. Once he knows the one who killed his eldest son was someone within ISIS, no one knows what actions he might take, so…"

"So Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knights became scapegoats..."

Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "For the grand cause of building ISIS, Iblis also chose to conceal the true situation from Death Angel, fearing his brother might go mad.

So, he utilized his brother's fury, choosing Arctic Fox and Holy Grail Knights as scapegoats.

Simultaneously, he would exploit his brother's madness and strength to strike against Arctic Fox.

This guy is a snake, choosing any means necessary for ISIS's victory!"

With these words, Mountain Eagle glanced at several old men resting in an apartment, sighed, and said, "Arctic Fox became a sacrifice, a stepping stone for Iblis's ascendancy.

This guy not only took Arctic Fox's money but also stole Arctic Fox's name.

The Americas Region of the International Intermediary Company rejected the appeal of Blood Fox, a retired old man, treating Iblis as the trusted leader of Arctic Fox, even helping him with a financing initiative, mobilizing an elite mercenary team of over a thousand.

Now the European Region of the International Intermediary Company has made the same choice…

The situation is extremely bad because it means that if I want to find Iblis, I must head to Syria and Iraq.

And that influential 'P·B Company' still regards Arctic Fox as an enemy!

"We can't even find a reliable guide there!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Kobe on the other end of the line was puzzled by Mountain Eagle's attitude. He curiously said, "Mountain Eagle, is Arctic Fox really that important to you?

I don't see how they're of much help to you; on the contrary, I feel Arctic Fox is a burden to you.

Although Arctic Fox is called the world's number one, honestly, outside the mercenary realm, to the real big players, Arctic Fox is merely a very sharp knife.

Ever since the older generation of Arctic Fox retired, they've become cautious about taking on missions. They've long been engrossed in low-intensity tasks in South Asia, which has greatly diminished their value.

Now that things have happened, I understand your desire to hunt down Iblis, but what I don't understand is that the myth of Arctic Fox has been shattered, isn't your obsession with the 'Arctic Fox' label somewhat redundant?"

Mountain Eagle shook his head helplessly and said, "You don't understand, to some people, Arctic Fox is just a knife, but to others, Arctic Fox is their life's value!

With Arctic Fox fallen, the confidence and dignity they've worked hard to build over most of their lives are gone!

These old men helped me selflessly when I hit rock bottom, so I must help them reclaim Arctic Fox...

at any cost!"

Kobe, as an official agent, didn't quite understand the logic of the underground world, so he curiously asked, "How do you reclaim it?

Logically speaking, Iblis, as a high-ranking current member of Arctic Fox, is naturally the heir after everyone else died.

The International Intermediary Company acknowledged Iblis's status, which means they agree with this logic.

Are you going to find real evidence to sue Iblis and strip him of his rights as heir to Arctic Fox?"

Mountain Eagle looked at the distant parading crowd, shook his head, and said, "No, I want him dead...

Once he's dead, everything will return to the correct path!

Kobe, you've told me so much, and you actually want me to help you, so I'm not holding back..."

Kobe heard this and smiled bitterly, saying, "Don't go too far. To help you withstand pressure, I've found excuses to avoid multiple inquiries from headquarters, worried you'd be wanted by the Romanians...

Don't ask for conditions I can't accept!"

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly and said, "Of course not, we're friends, have I ever let you suffer a loss?"

Kobe really wanted to remind Mountain Eagle how he tormented him in Thailand, and how in Alaska he manipulated him like a puppet and pushed him to the top of the Refugee Group...

But saying these things would make him look a bit foolish, so after hesitating for a moment, Kobe could only smile bitterly and say, "Go ahead, what do you want me to do?

If it's assisting you in Syria and Iraq, then I definitely can't help. All my energy now has to focus on the Death Angel.

That guy has two verified dirty bombs, if I deviate from this target, I could be sidelined at any moment, even jail isn't impossible.

My personal suggestion is, instead of focusing on Iblis, you should concentrate on the Death Angel...

Because once you've dealt with the Death Angel and resolved the dirty bomb crisis, you can unleash NATO's military power, and at that point, Iblis won't benefit in Iraq.

Their brothers' approach this time has already offended all of NATO..."

Mountain Eagle was taken aback, Kobe's reminder made him realize he was still influenced by hatred and had mistaken the core issue.

With this in mind, Mountain Eagle suddenly said, "I will formally register a military service company under the name 'Arctic Fox.'

You've wanted my help, so you'll back this 'Arctic Fox Military Service Company' in the name of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Once we make a name for ourselves, we can put pressure on the International Intermediary Company, at the very least forcing them to remain neutral between us and Iblis's Arctic Fox.

The president of the Asian Region of the International Intermediary Company is my friend, I'll set up the 'Arctic Fox' headquarters in Thailand Kamui."

Kobe paused, feeling a bit tough, and said, "So much for the help, huh?

Do I still need to get Homeland Security's money to provide your 'Arctic Fox' with a contract?

Buddy, the reason I explained to the people above is that you're my informant and can provide key intel on the Death Angel...

At this point, you ask for money, how am I supposed to explain to the people above?"

Mountain Eagle sneered and said, "Don't bluff me, I've got connections and information sources in Washington, Refugee Group's funds are definitely adequate right now.

Besides, I don't want the money; I want to legitimize the 'Arctic Fox' brand.

The mercenary world is already dazzled by the commissions Iblis provides, so my groundwork in the underworld is doing more with less, but getting contracts from you can yield twice the result with half the effort.

With Homeland Security backing, as soon as Iblis is dead, the International Intermediary Company won't obstruct me from reclaiming all Arctic Fox's rights."

As he finished speaking, Mountain Eagle glanced at several old men resting inside the room, sighed, and said, "Kobe, $500,000 plus a formal mercenary contract, you can get the 'World's No.1 Mercenary Corps' to work for you.

Of course, they're a bit old now, but I assure you, they're still the best..."
