409: Chapter 407: What Do You Fight For?
Nate fell silent for a while and then shook his head, “No, I don’t see Satan as a substitute for any rcenary Group.
Aurora is irreplaceable, and so is Satan, just like no other rcenary Group can replace the Angel rcenary Corps.”
Gao Yang laughed, “Well, it’s good that you said no.
That way, it seems our relationship really is just limited to acquaintances.”
Nate smiled and asked, “Let ask you a question, why do you fight?
And why does your rcenary Group fight?”
Gao Yang frowned, “That’s not an easy question to answer.
We should be fighting for money, I suppose, but it’s not just about that.
If it were only for the money, I would have retired back when I had enough.
As for now, I can definitely say it’s for the money because right now I’m broke.”
Nate spoke seriously, “I fight for the sake of fighting, all of us, everyone in the Angel rcenary Corps fights for the sake of battle.”
“Why?”
“Do you need to ask ?
You’re already on that path.
When you have enough money to last a lifeti and yet you don’t retire, why do you keep fighting?”
Gao Yang was stumped.
An answer ford vaguely in his mind.
Yes, even before he had spent all his money on taking down that Whaling Fleet, he had considered quitting the rcenary business.
But in the end, he didn’t.
So in reality, he was just like Nate, slowly walking the path of fighting for the sake of fighting.
Watching Gao Yang, Nate smiled enigmatically and said solemnly, “War is addictive.
When you get used to speaking with guns, to resolving issues with violence, you can’t integrate into the lives of ordinary people because that ans you have to get used to being submissive, to the law, to the wills of others.
So, you’ll end up fighting for the sake of fighting, until you die.”
Gao Yang let out a long breath and then shook his head firmly, “No, that won’t happen.
I’m certain I won’t end up like that.
Once I’ve saved enough money, I’ll marry my girlfriend right away and then retire.”
Nate still smiled, “Over the years, I’ve only seen Aurora do that.
They suddenly retired at the height of their power, which was quite surprising to .
And I have to admit, you resemble that guy from Aurora—not in looks or combat style, but in your approach to life and principles and dreams.
Maybe, you really might retire like Aurora soday.
But before that, you need to make sure you don’t get killed by the Angel rcenary Corps.”
Gao Yang said helplessly, “Talking to you is exhausting.
Sotis you sound like a sage, and other tis a complete lunatic.
In the end, you’re still considering Satan as a substitute for Aurora, right?”
“It’s not, really it’s not.
I just think you and your Satan rcenary Corps are a very interesting opponent.
Alright, let tell you the story between Angel and Aurora.
When I ford the Angel rcenary Corps, there were only six of us.
We encountered the fad Aurora, and after a battle in which we t, we lost miserably against their superior numbers.
Though no one died and two were heavily injured, we managed to escape successfully.
Many years later, we t again.
At that ti, Aurora was at its peak, and so were we, reaching our pri.
In terms of number and quality of personnel, I was confident that Angel was not inferior to Aurora.
I thought the ti for revenge had co.
But guess what happened?”
“What happened?”
After a smile, Nate said helplessly, “That ti, we were hired to attack a military organization.
Coincidentally, that military organization was friends with Aurora.
So, we clashed with Aurora once more.
In the direct fight, we ended up with four heavily injured, but Aurora had about twelve, I think.
This ti, I finally had the upper hand.
I thought the mont for revenge had arrived, but then Aurora started calling for their friends.
Their friends ca with tanks and ard helicopters, and I missed the opportunity to withdraw.
So we were surrounded, with no possibility of retreat.
It seed like the end of the Angel rcenary Corps had co.
But to my surprise, the leader of Aurora didn’t order our annihilation.
He called out to , asking to et him in the middle of the battlefield for a coffee, just like I invited you in Bosaso.
The leader of Aurora told they were retiring.
In fact, they were already semi-retired.
If I hadn’t attacked their friend, they wouldn’t have reappeared.
He set a condition: I had to give up attacking his friend and agree that if his friend ever needed help, the Angel rcenary Corps would take the job.
I didn’t want my people to die, so I agreed to his conditions.
Aurora then let us go, and after that, the entire Aurora rcenary Corps retired completely.
Perhaps they’ll co back soday if their friend needs them.
But my chance for revenge is gone.
Actually, I have no revenge to exact—haha, it’s strange, no one ever died in our fights with Aurora; that’s really strange.”
After finishing his story, Nate sipped his coffee and laughed at Gao Yang, “Actually, I knew back then that the Angel rcenary Corps’ combat strength had surpassed Aurora’s.
I was very certain of that.
I had the best soldiers and killing machines in the world.
I knew my Angel rcenary Corps could beat Aurora rcenary Corps, and that person from Aurora personally acknowledged this.
However, Angel had no friends, and Aurora, well, their friends would co running when called.”
Gao Yang laughed, “Having more friends is always better than having more enemies, and I’m happy to say that I do have quite a few friends.
Also, can you tell what kind of person the leader of Aurora is?”
Nate shook his head, “No, I can’t.
I promised to keep his secret.
Besides, I believe that Aurora will sooner or later be killed by their friends.
rcenaries are not ordinary people; they always have more enemies than friends, and the enemies of their friends are no few in number.
And rcenaries will sooner or later die on the battlefield, so Aurora is bound to be dragged down to death by their friends.
We, on the other hand, have no friends.
Even if we die, at least we die for ourselves.”
Gao Yang waggled his finger, “You’re thinking too absolutely.”
“Perhaps, but I am a very paranoid person, so having absolute ideas is quite normal.
Now, do you know why I have spared you guys twice?”
“I don’t understand.
Moreover, I don’t think you spared us.”
Nate laughed, “You’re right, ‘spared’ isn’t the right word to use.
Although your Satan rcenary Corps is small in number, it’s not weak in combat power.
I could annihilate you but at a price.
So, let rephrase that.
Now you should know that I’m a madman who fights for the sake of battle.
We’re all war maniacs.
So why did we choose to cease fighting and truce with you twice?”
Gao Yang chuckled lightly, “To be honest, I am quite curious.”
“Two reasons.
First, for a rcenary group, on both occasions, there was no need for us to fight to the death, because we could complete our respective missions without battling.
Second, for a group of combat crazies, we didn’t choose to fight you to the death twice only because you are strong, but not strong enough!”
Gao Yang chuckled bitterly, “So, you really were playing the enemy developnt ga.”
Nate said seriously, “To us, war is just a ga.
When I t you in Bosaso and thought you were an interesting and strong enough opponent, the outco was already determined.
The Satan rcenary Corps will be our outstanding enemy.
Of course, you need to keep getting stronger for this ga to be more interesting.
Maybe we will et again in the future.
If I don’t think you’re strong enough, I won’t choose to end this ga.
If you are strong enough, then I will seek you out for a decisive battle without any reason, because for , only death is the end of this ga.”
Gao Yang spread his hands, “I know you’re crazy, so I have no intention of stopping you.
However, I’d like to know, don’t you have any ideals or specific goals you want to achieve?”
“Yes, to overthrow a country, at least one worthy of being overthrown by .
That is my ideal.”
F**k, your ideal fits that of a war maniac alright.”
After saying this helplessly, Gao Yang sighed, “Being targeted by you really is a sad and unfortunate thing.
I don’t mind clashing with tough enemies, but I really don’t want to deal with a madman.
I won’t try to persuade you to give up this idea, but could you do one favor?”
“Speak.”
“If we haven’t retired, and one day we et again and you want to have a fierce fight, then let’s fight it out.
I have no objections, nor do I have any alternatives.
But if we’ve retired, please could you not bother us?”
After hesitating for a long ti, Nate nodded, “All right, if you declare retirent, I won’t bother you anymore.
But from any perspective, Angel and Satan rcenary Corps are fated to be deadly enemies.
I have a premonition that we will definitely have a chance to settle things before you retire.”
Gao Yang waved his hand, “Let’s talk about the future when it cos.
Who knows what will happen then?
Alright, let’s talk about sothing else, and then end this depressing conversation, shall we?
Hmm, the weather’s not bad today, huh?”
“I’m not British, so don’t talk to about the weather.
Let’s talk about weapons instead; that will make our conversation seem less weird.
Your gun seems to be a Colt, but it looks a bit different.
Customized?”
“Please, can’t you refer to it as a 1911 instead of a Colt?
I’m not used to identifying a gun by its brand, yes, my gun is customized.
It’s also a 1911.
Also, can I try shooting that MP7 again?
I’m really interested in it.”
“Hmm, it’s yours, but after giving it to you, my guys will be left without a weapon.
You’ll have to trade a gun for it.
I know you have MP5s, just trade an MP5.
To be honest, for a reconnaissance mission, this gun is more suitable than an MP5.
You’ll know if you try it out in a night raid on Teodulo.” (To be continued.
