Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 317 One move away from chess
"It's all the same..."

Shanying borrowed a bed sheet from the room and covered the tailor with it, then said with a smile: "It is said that the Knights of the Round Table are all soldiers from the SBS and SAS. At first I admired you a little bit..."

Shanying pointed at the bodies of Indian soldiers in the room, shook his head and said, "But your actions on the highway and this guy's behavior made me realize that there are really no tough guys among mercenaries, and most of them are bastards."

After saying that, Shanying sat on the sofa and informed Tagore of the information he had just asked...

That information was of little help to the situation Tagore was currently dealing with, because the police could not take risks with the lives of ordinary people, so even if there were confessions, he had to find those trucks in a meticulous manner and arrange for a bomb disposal team to eliminate the risk.

However, although it could not provide any substantial help, the psychological pressure was largely relieved.

When the center of gravity begins to shift, for Tagore, the subsequent crisis response will become a performance with a high tolerance rate.

As long as the truck carrying sugar did not explode, whatever Tagore did was right, and the stricter his requirements for his subordinates were, the more popular he was with the Thai top leaders.

At the same time, he can also use this crisis to screen qualified personnel to take over the future security of Pattaya.

There are countless benefits here, but unfortunately the Knights of the Round Table, as the initiators, can only feel the disadvantages!
Dalia is right, there are no tough guys among mercenaries!

In this world, except for those who truly have faith, anyone who works for money will never be able to withstand torture.

Even the regular armies of most countries do not require captured soldiers to keep secrets. They will assume that captured soldiers will betray secrets, and the first thing they do is not to rescue them, but to transfer them or make targeted responses.

However, the members of a high-end small team like the Knights of the Round Table still have some substance.

Shanying itself did not have enough information, so it was unable to ask targeted questions, and naturally it was unable to verify whether their answers were true.

Even though their confessions sound painful, in fact, what they say is definitely not comprehensive and may even be misleading.

A spy-in-training like Dalia just pointed that out...

Shanying himself knew that without the support of intelligence, he could not ask questions in detail and it would be difficult to get the key information he wanted.

But now there is a very obvious doubt, that is, why did Lancelot abandon his people and key mission items and leave alone?

Looking at the several Knights of the Round Table who had obviously given up resistance, Shanying looked at the only man in black whose name he didn't know and said, "What's your name?"

The man in black was very young, with a long face and small glasses. His face showed signs of wearing glasses for a long time. At this moment, his right eye kept blinking, and he seemed to be in great pain...

Facing Shanying's question, the man in black blinked his right eye quickly and said, "Cobra..."

After hearing this, the Mountain Eagle looked at the 'Cobra' curiously and said, "You, Cobra?"

The man in black was obviously very nervous. He lowered his head and said, "Because I am nearsighted and need to wear glasses for a long time..."

Shanying was amused by this powerful reason. He found a drone controller and a small tool box among the confiscated items. He opened them and took out a drone rotor accessory and a small screwdriver...

"You are in charge of the drones, right?"

As he spoke, Shanying stepped forward, holding a screwdriver in front of the man in black, and said with a smile: “No wonder you are called Cobra, because you can see things that normal people can’t see through the drone.

Then you are the technician, tell me, where is your safe house in Pattaya?"

The man in black looked at the screwdriver that was close to his eyeball, blinked his right eye desperately, and said, "In a community in East Pattaya...

The place was arranged by the contact person Percival. I don't know the specific name of the community, but I can find it when I get there.

I’ll take you there…”

Shanying actually had no great interest in a safe house where it was unlikely to yield any reward. He just wanted to try it out with one question and then raise the next question.

Looking at the submissive Cobra, Mountain Eagle said with a smile: "One last question, Lancelot left you here and went out to find reinforcements, why didn't he take these materials with him?"

The cobra's left eye followed its right eye and blinked a few times, saying, "Because he is too old, he can't carry all these things alone..."

Shanying squinted his eyes and looked at Cobra's nervous expression. He nodded slightly and said, "It's only two kilometers away from the northern exit, but it takes nearly 40 minutes to walk there, and it may take longer in the dark.

We are not slow here, how far can an old man run...

Besides, everyone has a phone now, so there’s no need to go in person to get help…”

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the cobra's left eye and blinked rapidly a few times. He nodded slightly and said, "It should be because they were afraid that the reinforcements would not be able to find the way, so Lancelot had to go out to meet them..."

The mountain eagle stroked its chin and observed its surroundings through the crow's vision...

Because there are so many tin houses, the roads inside the Kong Toei district are definitely complicated.

Ordinary people who enter here will inevitably get lost.

This group of people missed the chance to escape downstream, which means that the people who were supposed to pick them up would need to make a detour along the road and reach the nearest road to enter Kongti District in order to get here as quickly as possible.

The contact person was not familiar with this place, so Lancelot needed to go to a slightly more conspicuous place to meet them.

The Kong Toei area is not particularly quiet during this period of time, and there are still many wandering people on the road.

Just like the drug-taking youths that Shanying and his friends had encountered before, the wandering gangsters, and the people who came home late from work...

However, the direction near the river bank is the dirtiest and smelliest place in Kongti District, so Shanying and his friends did not meet many passers-by after they went ashore.

The crows had no way of identifying these people from high in the sky, but it was easy to find conspicuous landmarks not far away and whether there were any suspicious parked vehicles on the nearest road. These people certainly could not have imagined that the mountain eagles also had eyes in the sky, and they were much more advanced than them.

Shanying soon found some clues. He didn't find any suspicious vehicles, but he found a conspicuous landmark, and he was very familiar with that place...

"Pigeon, there is an abandoned factory building about 500 meters northeast of here. Let's see if there is any movement there..."

Soon the pigeon gave a reply...

"Boss, I can't see clearly from my angle, but it does look a bit strange...

It’s too quiet, and the slum people shouldn’t let go of the roofed houses.”

Pigeon asked curiously, "Boss, did the captive confess something? Do you need me to investigate closely?"

Shanying saw the butcher and Dalia looking at him strangely, and he spread his hands and said, "I am very familiar with this place, especially that factory, where I killed nearly 30 people.

The roof there is the highest among all the nearby buildings. I guess this area was built around that factory building.

The tube-shaped building we are in might have been the former dormitory for the factory’s employees.”

As he spoke, Shanying looked at the 'Cobra' who was unwilling to look him in the eye, and then at the longbow that was glaring at him. He grabbed the Barrett who was holding the longbow and said with a smile: "I'm a pretty good sniper..."

As he spoke, Shanying pulled a tattered dining table under the window, placed Barrett on the table, and found a chair for himself to sit on...

Then Shanying said to the butcher: "Shut their mouths and turn off the lights...

The world's third cannot be too disloyal, they have to give it a try!"

As the butcher took out a roll of duct tape and walked towards him, Chang Gong shouted angrily: "You son of a bitch, if you have the guts, then ..."

The butcher coldly sealed Changgong's mouth with tape, then smashed his mouth with the butt of a rifle, causing him to groan in pain...

The mountain eagle sat in front of the dining table, seemingly aiming, but in fact he mobilized the crows to lower the altitude, circled around the factory where he had fought before, entered the second floor through the hole in the wall, flew out from the other side, and finally landed on several scrapped machines in the factory yard...

Darkness does not hinder the crow's ability to detect, but instead provides it with camouflage.

The Mountain Eagle originally thought that he would get something, but to his surprise, the Crow did not get anything except a few local people who were knocked unconscious.

Those who fainted confirmed Shanying's guess. At the same time, Changgong's unusual nervousness after the lights were turned off also indirectly supported his idea.

But the reality is that Lancelot disappeared...

The Mountain Eagle reluctantly drove the Crow to take off again and searched along the edge of the nearest road, but still did not find much.

After about 20 minutes, the room was so quiet that one could hear a person's heartbeat. Shanying felt that he must have missed something...

Just when Shanying decided to turn on the light, there was a knock on the door of the room they were in...

With the help of Golden Cicada, Shanying could easily see that there was a woman at the door. He waved to the butcher who was observing with night vision goggles and said, "Turn on the light and go take a look..."

The butcher turned on the dim light without any hesitation, nodded to Dalia who was pointing her gun at the door, and suddenly opened the door...

"what……"

The butcher's gun made a scantily clad woman at the door scream in fear. She raised the old straight-screen phone in her hand tremblingly and said in a trembling voice: "Call, phone, Yue Shan..."

The butcher pointed his gun at the woman. He did not make any move. Instead, he frowned and said to Daria: "Daria, check her..."

Dalia walked forward and searched the woman's body. Then she took the phone, took a look at it, and handed it to Shanying. Then she made a gesture and said silently with her mouth: "Eavesdropping device..."

Shanying nodded slightly, and glanced at the woman standing at the door and refusing to leave. He probably understood that this was the humanoid early warning device that the Knights of the Round Table had arranged in advance...

There won't be any clues on this slum whore...

Looking at the impatient butcher, Shanying waved his hand and said, "Do you have any money? Give her some and send her away."

The butcher had just arrived in Thailand and only had US dollars on him. He took out a stack of 20-dollar bills, counted out a hundred dollars and handed it to the woman at the door...

The butcher was wearing the combat uniform of the 191st Brigade, and from any angle he looked like a regular soldier. He also looked quite friendly overall. Plus, the woman probably had nothing to lose, so she wasn't too afraid of the police...

Before leaving, she looked at the butcher, then held her chest with both hands, pointed at the money in the butcher's hand, and said in broken English: "20 yuan, I am yours..."

The butcher, such a cold-blooded man, was shocked by this situation. He slammed the door and locked the woman outside.

Shanying was amused by the butcher's funny expression. He said with a smile: "You have to get used to Thailand. Some of them are really fierce, but most of them are really optimistic.

But if you are looking for a girlfriend, you have to be careful. Thai women, especially those working in special industries, basically never tell the truth. "

Shanying looked at Dalia who was searching the room. He held up the phone in his hand and said, "Don't look for her anymore. She must have gone far away..."

After saying that, Shanying pressed the hands-free button on his phone and said, "Looking for me..."

A slightly hoarse male voice on the other end of the phone said in a very standard London accent: "Hello, Officer Yue Shan, my name is Lancelot, I want to make a deal with you..."
