Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 367 A battle of wits and courage
In front of the rocky beach, Franklin, who was serving as the vanguard, raised his fist.

He raised his fist cautiously.

"Colonel, we found footprints here, but the terrain ahead is too dangerous. We can't go any further..."

"You hide where you are, and I'll see what happens."

James took out his telescope and looked towards the rocky beach.

The team is now in a jungle, opposite to the river beach. There are piles of rocks on the bank of the river. The river is rushing, and there are towering cliffs on both sides. The terrain is very dangerous.

In other words, to move forward, you have to walk along the rocky beach to pass through this area.

However, from the current location to the rocky beach, there is a river beach area in the middle. There is no vegetation there, only rocks and river water.

But in any case, any open area without any cover is the most dangerous area. Most people will not choose to pass through here, and will choose to pass through places with jungle vegetation.

"It's indeed a good place for an ambush, Franklin. Are you sure you saw the footprints?"

"I see it, very clearly."

"Very clear?"

"Correct."

"That's a problem... That bastard is a master of jungle warfare. He wouldn't easily leave such clear footprints for us."

"Colonel, you mean...he deliberately led us here?"

"It's very likely..."

As James spoke, he gently raised the telescope and looked further away.

Across the riverbank in the distance is a large dense jungle.

By now it was getting light.

The time came to half past six in the morning.

"If I were him, I would find a hidden spot on the opposite side, wait for the target to pass by, and then ambush him."

"I used the reconnaissance device to look across the street and found no heat source," Franklin said.

James snorted coldly, "Huh? We chased him all night last night. Did you notice he was exposing his heat source? This bastard is really cunning. I think he has a waterproof thermal blanket taken from an AGLAN soldier. Wrapping it around him can insulate him from the heat source."

"He's a tough opponent..."

Franklin also had to sigh.

"Then what do we do?"

"Go around and pass from the right. He wants to ambush us, so we'll ambush him back. If I'm not mistaken, we just need to climb up the cliff next to us, go around to the back about 500 meters, and then circle back. I think we can appear behind that bastard."

James made his own judgment and then ordered, "Franklin, let's pack lightly. Leave the tactical bags and other things to Lucas and the others. You and I will look at the cliff next to us. I think the cliff is not too high and is covered with small trees. We can climb it."

Then he gave instructions to Lucas and Sonny, who were in charge of the rearguard: "Lucas, Sonny, the two of you wait here and monitor this place. You can even deliberately make some noise to attract the other party. Let that damn bastard think we are hesitating here and dare not go over, and draw him away."

"Understood, Colonel."

After James waited for Lucas to respond, he immediately took Franklin and left from the left.

Instead of walking along the rocky beach, they went around to the left and climbed over the mountain next to it.

Lucas, who stayed where he was, was not idle either. He climbed behind a cluster of bushes, took out a climbing rope and tied it to the branches. Then he carefully retreated to a big tree more than ten meters away and made an OK gesture to Sonny not far away.

Sonny immediately pointed his gun at the possible hiding spot in front of the rocky beach, and Lucas began to pull the rope gently.

The bushes began to tremble slightly.

In jungle warfare, this is the best way to lure the enemy into shooting.

But Lucas doesn't hold out much hope for this.

After a day and night of fighting.

He knew very well who the other party was.

If the opponent could be fooled by such a trick, that guy would not have been able to kill several of his teammates overnight.

Lucas is very interested in the identity of this opponent hiding in the dark.

Who is he?

"Lucas, that guy won't fall for it."

More than ten minutes passed and Sonny felt a little discouraged.

"There's nothing over there. I can't find any trace of it."

"It's okay. I don't expect him to fall for it," Lucas said. "I'm buying time for the Colonel and Franklin. He just needs to think we're still here. Otherwise, if we wait too long, he might give up this blocking point."

After saying that, he started pulling his own rope again.

"Lucas, we've climbed up the cliff. Is there any movement over there?"

"Colonel, there's no movement here. I set up a fake bait, but he didn't fall for it. This guy is too cunning."

Lucas said: "But I think it is likely that it attracted his attention. I hope he stays there."

"Keep observing, keep your eyes on that side. If we engage in a firefight with him later, and he reveals his true identity, you will kill him from across the riverbank."

"Understood, leave it to me and Sonny."

The communication channel fell silent again.

Lucas carefully looked into the distance through the gap in the bushes next to the big tree, observed for a while, moved his position, and then set up his M249 machine gun.

This gun is very effective in shooting and suppressing targets within a range of 400 meters. As long as the colonel and Franklin can drive the opponent out, as long as they can see the opponent's figure, they will let him experience the rapid-fire suppressive firepower.

Just as Lucas was concentrating on observing the possible location of Song Heping, two slight "tapping" sounds came from behind him, and then something seemed to fall to the ground.

He was suddenly startled and turned the gun around.

However, everything around was quiet and there was nothing.

"Sonny!"

he shouted.

no respond.

Lucas is in an unusual state now. He is lying on his back on the ground, which makes it difficult for him to observe.

So he slowly sat himself up, intending to stand up and squat down to continue observing.

Sonny disappeared.

It was less than ten meters away from me, just behind a bush on the left.

Lucas slowly stood up.

The gun was pointed at where Sonny was.

Soon, he saw Sonny's feet.

The side of his body was exposed outside the bushes. It was obvious from the position of his feet that Sonny was lying on the ground.

He felt his scalp numb.

"Colonel..."

Lucas wanted to call James on the channel.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from behind the big tree on the right.

Lucas didn't have time to continue talking on the phone and turned the gun around as quickly as possible.

The other party is too close to me!

Only more than ten meters away!
How did he end up there?

However, before Lucas could aim at the opponent and pull the trigger, a stream of flames shot out from the barrel of the gun in front of the black shadow.

Ta-ta-

Two bullet holes appeared on Lucas' forehead, and the back of his head exploded, removing a piece of bone.

He fell on his back.

Song Heping rushed over and after making sure the other party was dead, he took off the other party's individual radio and some ammunition and stuffed it into his tactical vest.

Then he lay down beside Lucas, set up the M249 machine gun, and aimed it at the left side of the rocky beach.

If James comes back, he will definitely take this route.

All we have to do now is wait patiently.

Waiting for the prey to come into sight.

Colonel James's questions kept coming from the headset channel.

"Lucas! Hear the answer!"

"Sunny! Report your position!"

Song Heping ignored everything and just lay there quietly like a hunting leopard.

He even heard James swearing and cursing himself on the channel.

Ok……

It is also a kind of enjoyment to listen to the enemy cursing you.

Time passes bit by bit.

More than nine minutes passed.

Song Heping glanced at his watch.

One minute left.

Because it takes no more than ten minutes to get here from the opposite mountain.

This is my own estimated time.

If the other party does not appear at the foot of the mountain on the left within ten minutes, it means that the other party has seen through my intentions, and this place is no longer safe.

Just as Song Heping was about to abandon his position and move immediately, the bushes at the foot of the mountain suddenly moved.

someone!

Finally, he saw a figure appear in his sight.

A green beret.

At first glance, he looked like a vanguard, pointing his gun at his own position.

Should I shoot?!

Song Heping hesitated for a moment.

But he made a quick decision - shoot!
Even if there are people behind this scout, we should not stay here for long.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the man in the green beret suddenly flashed behind the tree next to him.

"grass!"

Song Heping wanted to slap himself.

I should have shot you earlier.

Kill one first, and deal with the other later.

The opportunity to shoot was lost.

You must retreat at this time.

Otherwise something will happen.

But when he took a look at the other party's position, he suddenly had an idea.

Song Heping observed the surrounding environment.

Estimate the distance.

About forty meters.

He removed the grenade, pulled the safety pin, then released it from his palm, paused for a second, and then threw it.

The grenade flew out of the woods as if it had eyes, passed over the rocky beach, and landed accurately behind a tree.

Just behind the tree was Franklin, who obviously did not expect Song Heping to do this.

He originally thought that he would be safe if he hid behind the tree and could delay Song Heping there.

I didn't expect such a precise throw.

The grenade landed less than two meters away from him.

If I don't run away, I will definitely be injured or killed by the explosion.

He suddenly lunged to the side, trying to get behind a pile of rocks.

While his body was still in the air, Franklin suddenly regretted it.

He heard gunshots.

Da da da da da——

Da da da da da——

It's a burst of shooting.
