King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

As Joe Ga rushed to the back door of the mosque carrying a little girl, the first thing he saw was actually several strangers.

He subconsciously reached for the scarf around his neck, wanting to cover his face, then quickly realized his face was already painted with camouflage.

After shoving the little girl into the mosque, Joe Ga, with an annoyed expression, shouted at a man who was persistently urging the civilians to hurry: "Get in, no matter who you are..."

The bullets that hit the wall beside the man had no effect on him, but when several stray bullets struck the wall beside him, he screamed and entered the mosque.

Frowning, Joe Ga looked at two unfamiliar soldiers in desert camouflage crouching behind the stone pillars of the rear corridor, and pressed his communicator, asking, "'Chainsaw,' what's going on?"

'Chainsaw' seemed to be in a good mood; laughing he said, "Boss, come in and take a look, there's someone familiar here."

"A familiar person?"

Joe Ga watched as the last civilian entered the mosque, swiftly plucking a gas grenade from the man's hands, pulling the pin, and tossing it away, then he patted Dorian on the back and said, "Let's go in."

The interior of the mosque was a bit chaotic, which greatly displeased Joe Ga.

Seeing 'Hemostatic Forceps' walking around with several girls still in their school uniforms, teaching them how to bandage the wounded, Joe Ga called out irritably, "Take them down, everyone goes down."

This time 'Hemostatic Forceps' didn't follow the order and shook her head, saying, "Boss, there's not enough room below, the backup generator has been damaged, and if too many people stay down there for too long, there will be a lack of oxygen."

After hearing this, Joe Ga shouted at 'Chainsaw,' "Don't just stand there, have the civilians wait in the adjacent hall."

'Chainsaw' explained and gestured for a long time, but the civilians completely failed to understand what he meant. Instead, several children were scared out of their wits and clung to Joe Ga's trouser legs, staring in terror at the menacing-looking 'Chainsaw.'

Not many at P·B spoke French, and when Grand Cayman was trying to herd the civilians with his broken Sango, a towering man in desert camouflage stood up with a girl and began calling out to the civilians in French to follow Karman's commands.

Because the side with guns was in charge of directing, order was swiftly established.

More than a hundred civilians obediently went to the adjacent hall and sat down against the wall.

Joe Ga handed the children clinging to his legs to 'Hemostatic Forceps' to pick a few qualified nannies from among the schoolgirls.

These kids knew who the real boss was and realized they should receive some special treatment.

After sorting out the messy hall, Joe Ga looked at the familiar pair, a man and a woman, shook his head with a wry smile, walked over, and said with a laugh, "I didn't expect to run into you here.

If you ask me, your choice of jobs isn't very good?"

The one-eyed, towering Frenchman spread his hands and said, "We got the boot, but people have to eat..."

While saying this, the guy wrapped his arm around the girl beside him, bowed his head and kissed her dusty forehead, then looked at Joe Ga and said, "I didn't expect that P·B was your company. If I had known earlier that 'Powerful Strike' would grow like this, we should have worked harder back in Sardinia."

Joe Ga looked at the ragged man and woman in front of him...

They were the one-eyed French guy and the devoted girl who had been eliminated back in Sardinia.

Everyone got along quite well back then; they had left cheerfully with a thousand dollars after being eliminated.

The equipment they were currently wearing was still the set that Joe Ga had given them back then.

After giving 'Little Bee,' who was slightly injured, a hug, Joe Ga said with a smile, "Since we're acquainted, I'll forgive you guys.

Buddy, working for drug dealers is not a good choice!"

As he said this, Joe Ga scanned the surroundings before speaking, "Where's Neskens? I have a few questions for him, and then I want to chop him a couple of times."

'One-Eye' looked resigned as he said, "He's over there, we also didn't know that guy turned out to be a drug trafficker. I was introduced by a friend to join the 'Iron Wall Mercenary Corps,' and we were given an escort mission.

Neskens had a lot of clout in the Netherlands and was also generous with cash; I've always quite liked him."

As he said this, 'One-Eye' pointed in a direction and added, "If you want to chop him, do it quickly because those paratroopers are very angry now.

If it hadn't been for my recognition of 'Bullhorn' and 'Iceman,' we would've been completely annihilated."

Joe Ga, patting 'One-Eye' on the arm, said with a laugh, "It looks like you guys took a beating too. Now that my company has expanded, why don't you come work for me again? Your next chapter is on empire

The pay won't be as high as 'Chainsaw's' but sticking with me in Africa is definitely safer than wandering around."

'One-Eye' paused, then shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Forget it, if I can make it out alive this time, I need to return the ashes of our captain. He took six bullets before he fell, covering for us."

If you can help, can you get Neskens to settle our commission first? If he's taken by the French government, we'll have no chance of getting our payment."

"We lost 7 people this time, and need a large amount of condolence money..."

Hearing this, Joe Ga exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the new team leader?"

'One-Eye,' with his arm around 'Little Bee's' shoulders, stood up straight and said solemnly, "Indeed, I am the ninth leader of the 'Iron Wall Mercenary Corps.'

Our mercenary corps has a history of over a hundred years, boss. If you need any 'defense' or 'escort' services in the future, feel free to contact us."

Looking at the serious expression on 'One-Eye's' face, Joe Ga smiled and nodded, "Alright then, if you've recovered after getting back, send me your personnel configuration, and I'll see if I can get you some business.

However, the price won't be too high because P·B doesn't do dirty work!"

Listening to this, 'One-Eye' sighed with relief and whispered, "A job is enough, I was pushed into this, I need to find some work to support my brothers.

They are all great soldiers, and since I was pushed to be the leader, I have to take responsibility for them.

Our former leader was in the French special services, responsible for the Prime Minister's security, and the remaining four of our guys were recruited from several European special forces training camps, we are best at high-end defense and armed escort."

After listening to him, Joe Ga glanced at the few surviving members of the French SAS and nodded, "Leave the job hunting to me, but first, tell me how they were crippled?

12 men from the French SAS, only 5 are still intact—that's some excessive damage by the terrorists, isn't it?"

'One-Eye' nodded glumly and said, "We originally wanted to break out when the airburst shells chased us into the house, but the Boko Haram terrorists were not willing to take the risk.

Left with no choice, Neskens stepped in to negotiate and managed to capture six members of the film crew, looking to negotiate with the French.

It was only later we found out that the film crew was just bait, even Neskens was a disposable lure.

We had known there was a group of West Asians in town, but we didn't pay much attention, thinking they were ISIS trainers for Boko Haram soldiers.

It turned out there were far more than the few we saw; they had at least 100 men.

When the French SAS launched their assault on us, they were hit by IEDs, killing two and seriously wounding one, then trapped by concentrated fire on the streets.

It was only when we were attacked that our leader realized those damned terrorists wanted all of us dead.

Then my leader led us to meet up with the remaining French SAS soldiers, and both teams cooperated to break through to the northern district, where I ran into 'Bullhorn,' 'Iceman,' 'Water Ghost,' and the others.

The gunfight in the northern district was terrifying; our leader was killed there covering for us, and the French lost two more with another two seriously injured."

As he spoke, 'One-Eye' glanced at where the French SAS was located and shook his head, "They were all skilled soldiers; they wouldn't have ended up like this if they were not trying to rescue the wounded."

Joe Ga nodded upon hearing this and saw 'Comet' closing the eyes of a comrade who had just passed away. Joe Ga patted 'One-Eye's' arm and then walked over to 'Comet'...

Looking at the dead soldier, whose stomach had been torn open by shrapnel with intestines spilling out, he shook his head, "You did good!

I need to ask Neskens a few questions, and after that, he's all yours, okay?"

'Comet,' eyes red, looked at Joe Ga and said, "Hu Lang, we need to replenish our ammunition; the situation in the northern district is not good. We have too few snipers, and they'll start losing their equipment advantage at daybreak.

I still have 5 guys with me; we can go in and cover their escape from town."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Comet's' use of 'we' showed his recognition of Joe Ga's status and the unified stance of everyone.

At that moment, he was a soldier seeking the opportunity for combat from leadership.

'Comet's' mind was clear; most people were gathering at the Mosque now, with the team from E Squad staying in the northern district not making much of a difference.

The best course of action was to have E Squad withdraw from town and regroup at dawn with the Nigerien Defence Forces, then join them to encircle and suppress the terrorists.

This also meant preventing the Nigerien Defence Forces from deserting in the face of battle!

Joe Ga knew he certainly could not move, but he equally hoped to have his own people outside the town.

Feeling the strength and clarity of 'Comet,' a member of the French SAS, Joe Ga checked the time, then nodded gravely, "Leave your wounded to us; I'll have the American Black Hawks and Little Birds land outside the town.

After you've extricated yourselves and rendezvoused with them, and considering the enemy's strength, wait for the United States Army's Humvee convoy to arrive before attempting to launch a counter-offensive."

Saying this, Joe Ga reached out and grasped hands firmly with 'Comet,' "It's an honor to fight alongside you. Let's toll the knell for the terrorists when the sun is highest in the sky today."
