"Yes, boss!"
As expected of the leader of the military corps, he's ruthless. He can blow things up without hesitation and even use people as test subjects. Lu Qing secretly rejoiced.
The new type of shell was then pushed onto the control tower by several mercenaries. Everyone knew that this shell was very powerful; one shot was enough to turn their base into ruins.
"Boss, should you launch it or should I?"
When Yan Xiluo wasn't in the military corps, Lu Qing was in charge of everything, and he was also the second-in-command in the corps.
"I'll do it; consider it practice."
Yan Xiluo narrowed her eyes and went up to the control tower. She then aimed the shell at the mercenary base opposite. Although it was a bit dark at four in the morning, she could see it clearly and pulled the ramrod to fire accurately.
A few seconds later, a series of rumbling sounds were heard.
Yan Xiluo picked up her binoculars and saw that the enemy's base had been instantly razed to the ground... even worse than theirs!
The base was quite a distance from where the mercenary group was training, but unexpectedly, many of the mercenaries who were training were blown several meters away.
To avoid hurting anyone, Yan Xiluo specifically chose the least powerful shell, but she didn't expect it to be so lethal.
I don't understand why they're not sleeping at three or four in the morning, but instead dragging their mercenaries out for training. Are they planning some kind of secret activity?
The elite soldier quickly climbed the wrecked tower, surveyed the area with binoculars, and clearly spotted Yan Xiluo. He then picked up the Barrett sniper rifle beside him, preparing to take her shot.
I never expected her to be a woman? Was she the one who fired the shell just now? Why would she bomb his base when we had no grudge against each other?
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only regard Yan Xiluo as an enemy. He originally wanted to snipe her, but when he saw that she was a woman, he felt pity and softened. It was dark and he couldn't see what country the woman was from, but he never had the habit of attacking women.
Even when he's on a mission, he won't take on any work that involves women.
When she saw the other man pick up a Barrett rifle, Yan Xiluo didn't back down either, picking up her own and aiming it at him. When he put the gun down, he gestured to Yan Xiluo, indicating that they should talk, and only then did Yan Xiluo put the Barrett back beside her.
Talk? What's there to talk about? Why didn't he say he wanted to talk to her when he blew up her base? Now that he's given her such a great gift, he wants to talk to her?
Well, let's see what he can do. So Yan Xiluo gave him an OK sign and signaled for the two of them to set off at the same time.
"Boss, why did you put the gun down? Aren't you afraid the other side will try to cheat?"
Lu Qing was puzzled and found it very strange. According to Yan Xiluo's usual style, she would have shot him down long ago! Why was she still holding back? Was she saving him for the New Year?
"He said he wanted to talk to me."
Yan Xiluo wanted to save trouble by shooting him, but in the dim light she could see his black hair and yellow skin, so she softened her heart.
"Haha, is he scared? Just one small shell from this new type of artillery razed his base to the ground. He didn't expect that, did he?"
Lu Qing hovered around Yan Xiluo like a little megaphone. Now that you see her like this, who would know she's a mercenary?
"Let's see what tricks he's up to. I have to rush back to China after this is all over."
If he dares to try anything funny, she'll pull out her pistol and shoot him! He's wasting her precious time!
"Uh-huh!"
Lu Qing followed and put her goggles back on.
"Let's go, let's set off!"
Then Yan Xiluo and Lu Qing got into the jeep, taking the other two mercenaries with them, and headed in their direction.
Soon, Yan Xiluo drove her jeep to the middle of the two bases and stopped the car.
But over there, they were riding motorcycles, and there were three of them, including the elite soldier.
"What did you call me here to discuss?"
Yan Xiluo didn't know if the other party was from country Z, so she simply communicated with the soldier king in the language of country X.
The elite soldier wasn't wearing a helmet, had a buzz cut, and wore a camouflage bulletproof vest. What? Did he lower his guard so much because he saw she was a woman? Wasn't he afraid she could kill him at any moment?
"I want to ask, why did you bomb my base?"
The elite soldier looked puzzled but asked confidently.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? You were the one who blew up my base first, okay?"
The voice sounded familiar. Where had she heard it before? For a moment, Yan Xiluo couldn't connect it with anyone, but the voice sounded very familiar.
Even though he speaks the language of country X, his unique voice is still undeniable.
Yan Xiluo kept asking questions, expressing her dissatisfaction. How could he have the nerve to question her?
"when?"
The soldier king was even more puzzled, but since he was wearing goggles, Yan Xiluo couldn't see his expression and had no idea whether he was pretending or not.
"Still pretending? Ha!"
Lu Qing got angry when she saw the man's stubborn attitude. What kind of person was he? He was already in a bad situation and still wouldn't admit it?
He looks like a handsome guy, right? How come he doesn't even have the courage to take responsibility for his actions?
"What happened?"
The elite soldier was a bit confused. He had only arrived at the base three hours earlier and had no idea what had happened. During his time there, everyone was training and no one had destroyed any of the bases...
"Boss... it might have been accidentally detonated during our training before you arrived. We thought it was an open area that was bombed, so we didn't check..."
The two mercenaries beside the elite soldier exchanged bewildered glances. One of them struggled to recall what they had been doing at the time before finally remembering what had happened...
Because they thought the bomb had only hit flat ground, they didn't check or report it to the elite soldier... Little did they know they had caused such a disaster.
The enemy retaliated and razed their base to the ground... This has caused the legion a lot of trouble. Although they are going to relocate to Country E, the construction of this base has cost a lot of money...
"Why didn't you check?! How could you make such a basic mistake? The key point is that you dared to practice firing shells on your own with this level of skill?"
The elite soldier roared in fury. So it turned out they had a reason to bomb their base! They were lucky they weren't bombed too!
The two mercenaries were too scared to utter a sound after being yelled at, knowing they were in the wrong and that the elite soldier was right to reprimand them...
"I'm so sorry, this happened before I arrived, so I was unaware of it. I'm willing to compensate you double for your losses. Do you find this solution acceptable?"
The soldier king spoke with some guilt, and then came up with this method of compensation. He felt that this method was the most direct and the easiest for people to accept.
His tone was so sincere that it was impossible to tell he was lying; he was genuinely seeking reconciliation.
"Okay, since it wasn't intentionally blown up, I'm willing to accept your solution."
Yan Xiluo is a reasonable person and won't hold a grudge. She came here to seek an explanation, and considering that he was unaware of the situation and had a good attitude, she was willing to accept it.
