Chapter 604: Regret
The basecamp broke out in an uproar.
The death of that soldier was a blatant provocation from the enemy.
It was a warning to them that if they chose to confront them any longer, they would be the next to die!
The military strategists from the countries were all furious, especially the representatives whose soldiers were all dead, and whose bodies were still in the hands of the enemy. It would be an embarra.s.sment if they were not able to bring them home!
It was one thing if they could not exterminate the enemy, but another if they couldn’t even bring the remains of the soldiers back to their home countries to be buried. It would be a shame if others knew about this and no one could escape the blame.
The representatives of the countries and military experts expressed their uncompromising determination to fight these mercenaries to the end.
However, since the strongest special forces teams were gone, what could they use against the Deviant Mercenaries now?
This was a difficult question.
They pressured the remaining elite soldiers of the four countries as they said, “Listen, this is not just a matter of onBritain Nation, but a common question our alliance faces. So many soldiers have been sacrificed, and the outlaws are still out there. Right now, the only armed forces we can use and rely on is the rest of you 110 elite soldiers! I hope we can fight together for this alliance and exterminate the enemy!”
However, those special forces soldiers from the four countries offstage didn’t speak up. The representative of the M Nation looked at the other representatives from the other four countries, who coughed as they said, “I think this matter needs to be evaluated in a calm manner.”
The M Nation and those other powerful countries who had lost their men were displeased. “Don’t forget that this mission is not over.”
The representative from the other four countries replied, “We are willing to withdraw from this tournament! We’re not going to win the championship based on points anyway.”
“We’ll withdraw too.”
“Us as well.”
All four countries declared their withdrawal from the tournament.
The officials from those powerful countries were speechless.
“You know what the enemy is doing right? They’re violating and trampling on the dignity of every citizen of our countries! Are you going to step down without a fight when all of our soldiers have died?” a commander from the M Nation questioned.
The X Nation’s commander pointed at the M Nation and scolded, “This tournament ended from the moment your M Nation team was defeated. We will not be used as your weapon. Do you want to turn this place into a complete h.e.l.l before you are satisfied? It is common knowledge that you, the M Nation, have been thinking about this place for a long time, and you can’t inflame the public opinion of the rest of the world being one country, so please don’t bring other countries to the table. I’m telling you, don’t think of us as fools. We know that the M Nation started this tournament!”
Having said that, the X Nation was the first to withdraw from the tournament.
The other countries were also withdrawing from the tournament because they felt that the United States of America may want to take this opportunity to make things difficult for the four countries and then justify the presence of troops to avenge the soldiers and sweep the area.
The M Nation commanders were furious from embarra.s.sment, but there was nothing they could do since the other countries did not buy into it. So they turned to the other countries who had also been defeated and asked. “What about you? We can join forces! R Nation, aren’t you guys always straightforward? How about everyone in this together this time?”
The R Nation sneered. “Sorry, we’re not bandits, a drill is a drill. We can’t learn to become as shameless as you. Forgive us, we almost fell into your trap but they’re right; we have supervisory rights, so you’d better give up on that idea. We’ll pay the ransom to bring the bodies of our soldiers back.”
With that said, the R Nation people walked away.
The other G Nation and Great Britain, who were like the M Nation’s sidekicks, felt that there was no way to have a pleasant time since n.o.body was happy.！
So the M Nation’s little plan did not work.
The group of military strategists thought that if they could really occupy the high ground in public opinion, then the higher up wouldn’t ask them for their resignation. After all, this was also considered a chance to get a full-scale troop stationed in the Land of Mercenaries, but now that the plan had been destroyed, they suddenly didn’t know how to save their political careers.
Then, one of them suddenly said, “I have an idea, we can just let the beast take down the baset.”
“What do you mean?”
“I remember this area of the Deviant Mercenaries belonged to the Dragon Clan, right? Why don’t we pressure them, or provoke them to take down the Deviant Corp? If the Dragons can’t solve it, then we can call Kush! As long as we, the M Nation, promise that this territory will belong to him, perhaps he’ll work his *ss off for us?”
“Right.” The other commanders were pleasantly surprised. They wouldn’t have to return home looking bad or be imprisoned if they could eliminate the Deviant Corp.
“We should go talk to the dragons!”
“And the cost? There has to be cost, right?”
“Isn’t that simple? These Huaxia people must all be on the Huaxia’s wanted list. As long as we give them the green card of the M Nation and offer them political asylum if necessary as well as allow their future children to come to the M Nation as citizens, I don’t think anyone would refuse.”
“Good idea! I think this solution will work.”
The other commanders all agreed that since their plan to use the oppression of thBritain Nations to get garrison rights didn’t work out, then the second option would be to fight the Deviant to the death!
The news about the 10-nations special forces compet.i.tion failing and the miserable loss of their teams spread and stirred up a huge discussion in the Land of Mercenaries for some time. No one had expected that an unknown organization would actually cause the special forces of several powerful countries to suffer a loss and humiliate them at the same time. The Deviant Mercenary Corp had indeed made a name for itself!
The soldiers who had previously left the mountainous area were waiting for the news of the Deviant Corp’s defeat, but it never came.
When they thought that the information was not timely, the news of how five countries out of the nine were eliminated by the Deviant Corp was announced, shocking everyone.
The five captains who left and hid in a cave hadn’t spoken at all since they were terrified!
A subordinate suddenly panicked and said, “What should we do? Now we’re no longer with the Deviant Corp; they’re not our own people, but enemies! Let’s get out of the area, shall we? The Deviant boss is way more terrifying compared to the other mercenary forces!”
No one would forget Xu Cheng’s terrifying methods, and their bodies shivered when they recalled what he did.
“Impossible!” At this point, several captains were shaking their heads in disbelief. “Impossible, a 9-nation alliance, amongst which were the G Nation, I Nation, Britain Nation, R Nation, and the I Nation, the five most powerful countries, and the soldiers were all exterminated? How strong is that man?”
A captain said quietly, “Maybe he’ll be the next Kush! He’s mysterious and his strength is even more immeasurable. We were very, very wrong!”
They all hung their heads and sighed. “Retreat. Leave the area and hide as far away as we can. There’s simply no room for confrontation. Regardless of the outcome this time, he will become a legendary mercenary!”
“Sigh. We missed an opportunity that could have changed our lives.”
Some of them rolled up their sleeves, all of them revealing Deviant tattoos underneath, and they felt particularly ironic at the moment. If they were more firm, then perhaps this tattoo would have been their pride and glory!
