Chapter Thirty-Six: The Scheme in the Temple

  The mantis received the order and led a dozen or so people to chase after them along the small path on the grassland. The lion turned his head again, and said to a young man beside him: "A Shan, you also lead a dozen or so people through the thicket, to meet up with Mantis. I'm afraid they're going to play ambush again, and Mantis's men might not be their match. If they play ambush, you'll play a counter-ambush with them."

  That Ashan nodded and waved his hand, taking away a dozen or so people again.

  The lion then led the remaining twenty or so people towards another small path.

  Ma Sheng covered his shoulder, and there was only a pistol left in his hand. He stumbled towards the direction of the training ground's dormitory. Suddenly, someone appeared out of nowhere, startling him.

  Five or six terrorists were actually quite good at shooting, Ma Shengda had no experience with assault rifles and in the chaos only managed to wound one of them, his own shoulder was also hit by a bullet.

  Helpless, he abandoned all the equipment on his body and ran towards Pingfang with only a pistol and a dagger. He knew that there were troops stationed there, and running over would make him safe.

  Not far away, a figure in olive green appeared in Ma Shengda's line of sight. Ma Shengda was overjoyed and took a closer look, it was Lieutenant Zhong, and there were several people beside him.

  Haha! I'm saved!

  Ma Shengda's face was filled with excitement, and he ran to the lieutenant in a flurry, panting and saying: "Lieutenant... sir, there are... terrorists."

  The lieutenant didn't even lift an eyebrow and said lightly: "I know."

  "You... you know?" Ma Shengda suddenly looked puzzled, thinking "Do you know why I didn't go support you?"

  "Listen up, Lieutenant," he said in a detached tone, as if discussing something that had nothing to do with him. "As a member of the British Special Forces, you have disregarded battlefield discipline, shown cowardice in the face of the enemy, and are suspected of leading the enemy to headquarters. According to British battlefield regulations, I hereby sentence you to death for desertion and treason, effective immediately."

  Ma Shengda's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt down in front of the lieutenant with a "thud", trembling and saying: "Lieutenant, sir, I'm not running away, I'm reporting enemy information..."

  The sound suddenly stopped, Ma Shengda's eyeballs stared out almost bulging, a streak of blood appeared on his throat, and with a "thud", his body fell to the ground.

  "I've seen scoundrels, but not one like this." The lieutenant spat on the corpse of Ma Shengda with disdain. "You go tell those prisoners to think of a way up the mountain themselves. If they can kill our people on the mountain, they'll be free."

  "Captain touched the earpiece on his ear and said into it: "Mountain Eagle, Mountain Eagle, what's the situation up there?"

  A slightly hoarse voice came from the earpiece: "Five, this is Mountain Eagle. The battle situation is good, they have accumulated 89 enemy kills, six accidental deaths, and a total of 52 enemies remaining. Ammunition may be slightly insufficient, but they have a new plan, and the situation is favorable."

  "Having killed a total of eighty-nine enemies, with an average of twelve kills per person and a little more." The lieutenant showed a satisfied smile and said lightly: "Mountain Eagle continues to observe, pay attention to their safety, we will go up the mountain now."

  The lieutenant colonel sat in front of the screen, a faint smile spreading from the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself: "This kid is really clever, no wonder the lieutenant likes him so much..."

  "Ding Dong" "Ding Dong"

  A sudden ring of the phone sounded, a soldier answered it, "Hello, Training Command...yes!"

  "Major, sir, it's a call from the General..." The soldier said in a trembling small voice.

  The lieutenant colonel's face was solemn as he took the phone call, saying seriously: "General...yes, General sir, I'll be right there."

  At this time, the general actually let him go immediately, which gave the lieutenant colonel a kind of ominous feeling. The last small-scale conflict with the opposition had already occurred two months ago. At that time, the lieutenant colonel had keenly felt that a big war was about to come.

  But as far as he knows, the government army is not yet ready for a decisive battle. Especially recently, they have been continuously replenishing new recruits, and the quality of these new recruits is extremely low, even if they are used as cannon fodder, the risk is very great.

  The lieutenant colonel collected his thoughts and feelings. This strategic direction was not something he should consider, what he needed to do was complete it as soon as possible and meet the general's requirements.

  He adjusted his military uniform and stepped out of the door with a very heavy pace.

  The lion looked at another fork in the road, his face turned very ugly. If he had felt that everything was under control just now, then there was a feeling of being led by the nose.

  The two forks in the road lead to different directions, but the goal is still the water source. However, if you bring people into these two forks, the distance between them and Ma Ge and A Shan will be much farther, at least about 2 kilometers.

  Two kilometers is a straight-line distance, and the lion would naturally be fearless. The key is that this is a forest, and the two-kilometer journey will take at least five minutes to complete, even if you're moving quickly.

  5 minutes is enough for the end of a battle.

  They are just rookies. The lion has no perfect solution at this time, and he finds himself very passive now. If he goes back to rescue the ants and Ah Shan, it will take a lap, and the battle in the water source area will be over by then.

  The environment on the water source side is even more complicated, and if you dive into the forest again, it will give you a sneak attack from time to time, thinking that even lions feel a chill in their body.

  No way, we must catch up with them and bite them to death in order to limit their advantage. Otherwise, this team of less than ten people will be eaten away bit by bit.

  There is no thousand days of prevention against a thief who has been stealing for a thousand days.

  "Divide the troops into two routes, Arin, you take six people to walk on this road. If they encounter them, just hold them back." The lion bit his teeth and said to a young man beside him, "When I hear the gunshot, I will quickly get rid of them and go to meet you."

  A Lin nodded and took six people away.

  The lion waved his hand and said coldly: "Advance quickly, you must catch up with them."

  Xu Ming's deployment this time is very scattered, and teammates can hardly see each other. This is a very risky decision. It's completely free play, no fixed firepower ambush point, there is a risk of being defeated by the enemy one by one.

  However, every advantage has its disadvantage. Similarly, this four-way open layout is more beneficial for making the enemy unclear about their strength, and more importantly, it can quickly end the battle.

  This is the time to test personal abilities, so Xu Ming decided to do this, and he has his reasons. Firstly, he didn't want to restrict them too much, which would not be beneficial for their future development; secondly, with such a distribution, they wouldn't be afraid of being surrounded by the enemy, as the scattered personnel could alert each other no matter where the enemy came from.

  In the sniper rifle's scope, the enemy's figure has appeared. The leader, Xu Ming, recognized him as that little boss, with only a dozen or so men.

  To this extent of the battle, Xu Ming was even hesitant about whether he should take action. Because near the route where the small leader appeared, Maya, Caruso and Gren were ambushing.

  A dozen people within range of three people, and it's an ambush, shouldn't be too difficult.

  Suddenly, Xu Ming heard a faintly light footsteps. Just near his hiding position, Xu Ming quietly moved the sniper rifle over, less than 200 meters away from him, and another dozen or so people crept up quietly.

  From the angle, it just happens to match that little head, echoing each other. As soon as a gun battle occurs on the side of the little head, these dozen or so people can encircle from behind at the first time.

  Xu Ming licked his lips, and the lion was indeed a worthy opponent, not only biting to death but also very skilled at it. However, he still fell into the trap, and since they had delivered themselves to his doorstep, Xu Ming had no reason not to keep these twenty or so people behind.

  He aimed his sniper rifle at Ashan, the leader. From a dangerous intuition, the young man holding the M16 emitted an aura of killing intent all over his body. This aura, Xu Ming had heard of it before, only those who survived on the battlefield had this aura.
