The rushed rcenaries numbered over two hundred.
Such a scale was obviously the result of several squads combined, or squadrons laying in ambush in the surrounding mountains, full of combat strength.
Seeing this group of rcenaries arrive, Ye Xuan stomped out his cigarette butt, standing in the darkness, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Why was he said to be the best at jungle warfare?
Because he could perfectly utilize everything available in the forest.
The mountains had tigers, had hungry wolves.
Especially the hungry wolves.
These were extrely keen beasts, individually powerful and fierce, but more terrifyingly, they possessed great intelligence.
A lone wolf is not scary, but a pack of wolves is extrely frightening.
They have the keenest sense of sll.
War has erupted here, blood flowing like rivers, even if several kiloters away, the hungry wolves in the mountains would surely sll it, especially since earlier, Ye Xuan gave this small squad a chance to fire their guns.
Why give them the chance to shoot?
Because gunfire could alert the nearby rcenaries and awake the hungry wolves hidden deep in the forests.
Theoretically, even wolves would retreat when they hear gunshots.
But the wolves in this land are different.
As the saying goes, "A particular environnt nurtures particular people," different places foster different living habits; wolves from different regions have varied hunting habits.
This land, perennially at war, shrouded in smoke and flas.
The pollution of the environnt causes the species in the Harado Mountains to decrease every year, whether they are tigers or wild wolves, they are in a constant state of hunger.
They are beasts; when the stomach growls, they beco wild.
In situations of extre hunger, as long as they catch a whiff of blood, they go crazy, employing whatever ans to snatch food.
Thus, even if they hide deep in the mountains, as long as they scent blood, they will undoubtedly follow the scent out.
Facts proved Ye Xuan’s judgnt was spot on.
In the outer mountain forests at this location, a vague sound of gunfire had just erupted but ceased shortly, which shows that the rcenaries ambushed here were not adept at jungle warfare and were likely mostly dead by now.
And this newly arrived group of rcenaries will soon face the sa fate...
Several hundred rcenaries rushed to the scene, seeing one bloody corpse after another on the ground, their faces turned gloomy, secretly apprehensive.
Being top-notch rcenaries, they could certainly tell that this small squad had died even earlier than the squad next door.
"The Black Emperor is using feints!"
"He first dealt with the weakest squad to alarm the wolves in the mountains, then raids the neighboring squad, leaving the Seal rcenary Army here with no support!"
"The Seal rcenary Army has lost contact; they’re not skilled in jungle warfare, and likely they’ve t their doom by now."
"The Black Emperor is master of land, sea, and air. Even with wolves in the mountains, he would surely find a way to slip into the depths of the mountains. He’s let the wolves take care of the Seal rcenary Army and is definitely in the mountains by now!"
"Pursue!"
"..."
The rcenaries moved swiftly and soon entered the forest on full alert.
Ye Xuan watched them rush into the forest, his expression unchanged, standing still, a gleam of mockery and scorn in his pitch-black eyes.
Just a bunch of jumping clowns.
Sure enough, the cunning rcenaries soon dashed out again, scanning their surroundings with a sweeping gaze.
Clearly, they had so understanding of Ye Xuan; they hadn’t confird that Ye Xuan had entered the mountains and wanted to play a trick with him.
But this ti, as they failed to find Ye Xuan outside, they finally believed he had entered the mountains.
The leader took out a walkie-talkie: "All on alert, the Black Emperor has entered the mountains, be on guard!"
Then the group of rcenaries charged into the forests once more.
Ye Xuan squinted slightly, still not eager to follow in.
He could tell that these hundreds of rcenaries were skilled in land battles and jungle warfare; if prepared, the wolves in the mountains would ultimately be wiped out by them.
However, they too would suffer heavy losses.
While the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman profits.
While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Whether it’s the wolves or the rcenaries that win in the end, for Ye Xuan, it’s the best way to conserve energy while exhausting his opponents.
He lit another cigarette, quietly waiting.
Finally.
Bang!
A fierce gunfight erupted from within the forest.
"It’s started."
Ye Xuan pulled the sword thrust into the ground, striding towards the forest with powerful steps.
Yet he hadn’t taken a few steps when he abruptly halted, his sharp gaze darting towards a specific direction.
The atmosphere on site froze imdiately, killing intent pervading.
Under Ye Xuan’s gaze, a head of an old man slowly peeked out from the dense grass in that direction, looking sowhat familiar.
Burton!
Ye Xuan paused, then restrained his killing intent, his face full of astonishnt.
What is this old man up to?
And Burton, hiding in the grass, upon seeing that the person holding the sword was Ye Xuan, showed a delighted expression and waved his hand, running out.
The plump Southern Federation old man was now fully ard.
What’s more interesting is that behind him followed several other old n of similar build.
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, recognizing those old n behind Burton.
Weren’t these the business tycoons surviving on this land thanks to the Purgatory Group?
"Burton, what on earth are you doing?"
Ye Xuan asked, his sword-like brows slightly furrowed, looking at Burton and his companions who were cautiously approaching.
"Black Emperor, we are here to assist you!" Burton said spiritedly, "Though you may not need it, more people an more power. At a critical mont, us old guys can take bullets for you, that’s a contribution too!"
"Nonsense!" Ye Xuan reprimanded, "Get back imdiately!"
Burton and the others clearly had no intention of leaving, their eyes fervently fixed on Ye Xuan, looking determined as if ready to die heroically.
Ye Xuan felt a bit of a headache.
But Burton continued, "Black Emperor, over the years, if it weren’t for you, not just us old folks, but our families and businesses would have been gone by now."
"You are our benefactor, Purgatory is our benefactor. Now, with Purgatory in trouble, though we might lack skills, we wish to offer so help!"
"Black Emperor, we are all old n, we’ve lived long enough, even if not killed by enemies, we won’t live many more years."
"You know, Budro and Char are both terminally ill, only a few years left, since we are headed to death anyways, why not block a few bullets for Black Emperor in our final days? Fighting alongside you is our honor, please allow us!"
"Please, Black Emperor, grant us this!"
After Burton’s heartfelt words, the other ard old n echoed him fervently.
Then, they all kneeled before Ye Xuan, earnestly requesting.
