Chapter 1281: Their Power Is Stronger Than Imagined

The hired mercenary leader who commanded this siege was quite proud. He and Davidson were drinking red wine together, waiting for the victorious news to come from the front.
"Dealing with these illegal armed groups is a piece of cake."
"Davidson and others raised their glasses to congratulate, 'If you can successfully eliminate this force, it will greatly enhance your reputation, which is also a worthy thing to celebrate for you.'"
"Not necessarily, a mere group of insignificant armed forces is not worth mentioning at all."
The leader with a closely cropped beard pointed at the big screen and said, "Our people are attacking from three sides, they are trapped in the valley and have no way out."
“However, I have a condition, everyone.”
"What do you say?" Davidson and the others were stunned.
"We want to split half of the ransom that was confiscated."
“what？”
Everyone was confused. Wasn't it agreed upon in advance?
They must be paid the full amount they are owed, without a single penny less, but all of this ransom must be fully recovered.
The war is not yet over, the illegal armed forces have not been eliminated, and you're telling me to split it in half?
The boss with a small beard looked at their surprised faces and flicked his cigar, saying, "We risk our lives to protect you. According to the rules, this ransom belongs to seized goods and has nothing to do with you. Is there any problem if I only take half of it?"
“fuck！”
This guy is sly, with no credibility at all.
Representative of the automotive tycoon family warns, "Do you know the consequences of offending us?"
"If you are untrustworthy, who will dare to hire you in the future?"
The leader with a small beard waved his hand and said, "Not necessary. Once we eliminate this armed group, we will become the largest mercenary organization in the world, and people will beg us to work for them."
“……”
Everyone was rendered speechless by what he said.
Davidson, with a serious face, said for the greater good, "Enough, let's leave it at that. But the casualties on your side have nothing to do with us."
"Rest assured, our people will definitely win big."
The leader with a small mustache was somewhat proud, raising his glass of red wine to signal everyone, "Thank you all for your continued support."
“……”
Everyone was speechless, but there was no other way at the moment.
You see, this time the bandits robbed billions, and each person will get several billion, which is not a small sum.
Just rescued the hostages, thought I could get the ransom back, but unexpectedly got robbed by these mercenaries. It's not easy for anyone to go through something like this.
But they can only endure silently, everything can only be dealt with after this group of bandits is eliminated.
While they were celebrating with red wine on their side, the valley was in chaos.
The mercenaries surrounded the valley from three sides and launched fierce bombings and attacks.
As they closed in on the valley from three different directions, there suddenly came a barrage of gunfire from their perimeter.
A volley of rockets and small artillery shells flew towards them from the densely wooded area, with unknown armed forces attacking in the darkness.
It was only at this moment that they realized they had been tricked. They had just been discussing how to surround and annihilate the gang's forces in the valley, but within a short span of time, they found themselves being surrounded instead.
A powerful force hidden in the valley immediately launched a fierce counterattack when they saw the situation, not only defeating the mercenary group but also striking them both from the inside and outside, causing their scalps to bleed.
"Head, we can't hold on anymore, call for backup!"
"Call for backup!"
The leader of the small mustachioed gang was still pleased, when suddenly he received a call from the front line, "Oh no, we've been surrounded, please send immediate support!"
"Click-click--"
The sound of gunfire continued on the phone, leaving everyone confused.
Can you believe that the mercenary group was defeated so easily?
Keep in mind that they have three teams with over a thousand well-equipped elite soldiers.
Boom!
The phone was abruptly cut off after a loud explosion, and the head of the bearded gangster stood up abruptly, "How... is this possible?"
Davison and the others were also anxious, "Why not send someone over to provide immediate support?"
They certainly don't want these kidnappers to win. After all, if the mercenaries win, they can still get half of the ransom back.
If the armed kidnappers win, they won't get any of it back, and they want to get rid of their anger.
The bearded leader quickly made a phone call, "The reserve team, get ready, prepare for immediate airborne support!"
"Fortunately, I still have a trick up my sleeve."
Thousands of kilometers away, eight combat helicopters swiftly flew towards the valley.
The aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including Gatling guns, small missiles, and a large number of air-dropped bombs.
As long as these eight aircraft fly over the target location, they can assist ground forces in completing the counterattack.
Although the data on small missiles is limited, Gatling's terrifying firepower is unquestionably overwhelming. The eight warheads are divided into two rows, with the front row and the rear row. As they approach the target location, the commander on the plane says, "Target location is approaching, prepare for battle!"
As soon as I finished speaking, several rockets flew out of multiple hills.
Soo---
Soo---
"Oh no! It's an ambush!"
The plane that was leading the charge suddenly made a panicked call, and then there was a loud explosion in the night sky as it was hit directly, shattering into pieces.
Soo---
Soo---
Dozens of rockets were continuously launched from multiple hills, frightening the commander who yelled desperately, "Quick, quick! Turn back."
"Boom!"
Just as the order was given, another helicopter was hit and exploded in the air.
At the same time, the rear S-Frame aircraft commenced firing, and a few small missiles hit the targets on the hill, causing loud explosions and destroying multiple ambush points at least.
However, these armed kidnappers are extremely cunning, and they immediately change their positions after each attack, so the damage inflicted on them is not significant.
Moreover, there are numerous hills in this area, and it is uncertain which hill is ambushed, so they dare not use all their missiles.
The remaining helicopters can't fly over to the nearby valley, where the support is just a few kilometers away.
As the fighting in the valley intensifies and the reinforcements are still not arriving, the mercenary leader on the scene decides to break through.
"While it's still dark, we must break out or we'll become live targets once it gets light."
So, three mercenary groups broke out from three directions, while the eight first ascension planes engaged with the armed bandits on the hill for over two hours, but instead of eliminating the ambush points on the hill, they lost three first ascension planes.
As they flew over this mountain range, the small missiles on the aircraft were almost depleted, and even if they could reach the scene, the support they could provide would be very limited, so they had to turn back to replenish ammunition.
Although Chen Fan went back to sleep, the eldest sister and the others are still watching the battle. It's such a fierce fight that they are all shaking their heads.
However, the eldest sister also sighed, "It seems that even we underestimated the strength of this group of armed bandits. They are more powerful than we imagined."
"And with this huge amount of capital, it will be even more difficult to eliminate them."
