Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 751 Tracking
Just as Song Heping and others changed their evacuation direction and retreated from north to south towards Ethiopia, on the outskirts of Nerole, a small town in eastern South Sudan, Charles stared at the laptop in front of him in a makeshift tent.

It was a small reconnaissance drone called the Big Raven.

For this operation, they came equipped with the most advanced equipment.

Because South Sudan is a sensitive area, the "Presbyterian Church" originally planned to use its military connections to launch an MQ-9 drone from the "Nimitz" aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean to conduct reconnaissance in South Sudan and obtain the whereabouts of Song Heping and others.

However, the navy later assessed that the current situation in South Sudan was very sensitive, and the UN had deployed a large number of peacekeeping forces here, all of which were equipped with air defense radars.

If the MQ-9 enters the region to perform a secret mission, it will easily be detected by radars of other countries, which will cause a diplomatic incident.

After careful consideration, Campbell finally informed Charles to bring a small drone into South Sudan to improve reconnaissance efficiency and track and kill Song Heping.

Kill Song Heping.

This order seems to have been given countless times.

From the CIA to Mossad, to the Presbyterian Church’s private armed “Satan” Legion.

However, the previous operations all failed. Not only did they fail to kill Song Heping, but he killed dozens of people instead.

The Charles sent to South Sudan this time is from the most elite squad of the South African branch of the "Satan" Corps, code-named "Devil", and the squad leader is Charles.

Charles is British and used to serve in the SBS special forces. He reached the highest rank of captain and was a top operative.

Since retiring, Charles was recruited by the Presbyterian Church and joined the Satan Corps as the commander of the core combat team of the African branch.

The "Presbyterian Church" is a secret society composed of political and business leaders, many of whom have their own business interests around the world.

Regardless of the level, there are requirements for armed forces.

When it is inconvenient to use official forces to deal with many things, the "Satan" army will become the most effective weapon in the hands of these old tycoons.

Assassination, pursuit, protection.

The Satan Legion can do anything that any armed organization can do.

Especially in a place like Africa.

There is nothing more effective than force.

They were even able to obtain formal official identities, just as Charles was able to obtain UN travel documents and pretend to be a member of the UN-Soviet Union to brazenly cross the buffer zone into the war zone. These people's infiltration of government agencies began during the Cold War after World War II, and they have cultivated many of their own people in Europe, America, and even within the UN.

The African branch of the "Satan" Legion has had a brilliant record over the years. It has assisted rebel organizations in overthrowing regimes that have conflicts of interest with the "Presbyterian Church" more than ten times, carried out countless assassination missions, and protected the commercial interests of the "Presbyterian Church" members here, which are incalculable.

Although Africa has the largest mercenary company, EO, when it comes to the real king of mercenary organizations, it has to be the "Satan" Legion.

"They're heading south."

A mercenary from the "Satan" Corps who was in charge of operating the drone finally found traces of Song Heping and others on the screen.

"Look, these vehicles must have been abandoned. Three hours ago, they wiped out an armed detachment of the rebel organization in Koma Village. According to the information provided by Damar, that detachment was equipped with two armed pickup trucks and several trucks, which matches these abandoned vehicles."

The Raven drone has begun to descend.

Through the night vision camera, images of all the scenes on the ground are clearly transmitted back to the computer via the satellite communication band.

Charles stared at the screen for a moment, then turned and yelled to another of his men, "Bring me the electronic map."

Soon, a "Satan" mercenary came over with a laptop and placed it on the table. The latest electronic map had been called up in the system.

Charles sat down in front of the computer, swung the mouse to further zoom in on the area around the vehicle, and began to study it intently.

About two minutes later, his furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Prepare for deployment immediately! They're heading south and east through the Machar Swamp and the surrounding jungle into Ethiopia! They're not heading north! Bell, organize the squadron's combatants to gather at the helicopter immediately. We're boarding and setting off!"

After saying that, he stood up and left the tent and went straight to Colonel Damar's command post.

The latter was smoking in the headquarters, chatting with several of his trusted officers. The tent was filled with smoke, and Charles, who had just entered, frowned. He didn't smoke, so he hated people who smoked.

"Colonel, we have found traces of the target."

"Oh?!"

Damar was a little surprised.

Because he had already sent out six search teams to search northwards towards the battle zone, but so far those teams had found nothing and no useful information had been sent back.

"Where are they?"

"They're heading south, not north," Charles said. "The abandoned vehicles are right at the edge of the jungle near Tintin. I guess they've already abandoned them and entered the jungle. If I'm right, they're planning to cross the Machar Swamp and use the jungle near the swamp to cover their tracks and evade our pursuit."

"This is impossible."

Colonel Damar laughed heartily.

"Do you know what the Machal Swamp and the nearby jungle are nicknamed? Hell. Hell. Got it? Not only is it filled with miasma, but it's also full of poisonous snakes and wild beasts. I could understand if it was an elite armed detachment passing through there, but didn't you tell me that guy took away all the villagers of Koma Village? There are at least 400 people in that village. Tell me, how did those elderly, weak, women and children cross the jungle? They must have taken a car, followed the road north into the buffer zone, and sought refuge with the UN peacekeeping force. It's just that we haven't found which road yet."

"Colonel, you must trust my intelligence-gathering abilities," Charles said. "We are professionals. If you wish to receive the conditions we promised, then immediately mobilize all your forces to the vicinity of the Machal Swamp, then enter the jungle on foot. Find the best jungle guides to track them down, and then concentrate your forces to capture them."

Damar was very unhappy to hear Charles speaking to him in a superior tone.

After all, he is the leader of this armed organization. Although his armed forces are not the most powerful in Sudan, they can still be ranked among the top three armed forces.

A white man came to his territory and spoke to him in a commanding tone...

If it were someone else, they would have treated him to peanuts and sent him to see God.

Of course, this is just Damar's fantasy. He doesn't dare to do this in reality.

After all, the "Satan" Legion promised that if they could help them kill Song Heping this time, they would provide a large amount of weapons and equipment in the future, support him to become the largest armed organization in South Sudan, and allow him to gain a seat in the temporarily formed South Sudanese government.

This condition is very tempting.

What is the point of fighting to the death?
Land, women, and money.

All this will happen if power is secured in South Sudan's interim government.

"Ok."

He finally chose to compromise.

Colonel Damar is not stupid to be able to become the leader of an armed organization.

"Since you are so sure, I will deploy all my people there immediately."

He stood up and wanted to go out to gather people. As he passed by Charles, he smiled sarcastically and said, "Captain, are you too nervous? It's just four or five armed men, right? I have more than a thousand people here. Even if we shoot with our eyes closed, we can still turn him into a hornet's nest."

After saying this, Damar walked away.

After leaving the tent, Bell came over to report: "SIR, everything is ready. You can board the plane and leave at any time."

Charles said nothing, but stared at Damar's receding back.

"SIR? What are you looking at?"

"It seems these ragtag groups are unreliable. We'll probably have to rely on ourselves for this mission."

Charles muttered.

He had a feeling.

An arrogant person like Damar will sooner or later suffer a great loss at the hands of Song Heping.
