I’m really here to keep the peace

“Sir, something happened!”

“What’s wrong?”

“The North Side Highlands are lost!”

“？？？”

François’s first reaction was impossible, and immediately, he only felt that the chill instantly spread from his back to his entire neck, and then gradually swallowed his entire brain.

“What’s going on?”

“Our temple personnel were sniped from the high ground on the north side, and after three brothers died, we found out that the opposite side did not know when to take the high ground back!”

“I asked them where they outflanked them, we surrounded on three sides…”

François reacted instantly, the previous point of gunfire was not the United Mining attacking the Shadow Company, but the Shadow Company attacking the United Mining, he hurriedly pushed away the soldiers around him, came to the edge of the factory, and then saw four trucks burning on the road, and dozens of mercenaries who were approaching him with their hands raised, they were wearing woodland camouflage uniforms, not people from the Shadow Company.

And when these people came over, François understood what was happening, and what made his scalp numb the most was that the Shadow Company took the initiative to let these guys over!

“What a means!”

François was suddenly dizzy, no wonder when they attacked, the other party did not take the prisoners who had been captured by them before, and those mercenaries under Ek were locked up in the building waiting for them, now he understood.

“That guy is trying to trap us!”

Because the logistics were all handed over to the black mercenaries, at the moment François’s soldiers basically did not carry much food, let alone drinking water, and everyone carried the most bullets and grenades, but obviously the latter could not be eaten.

“Let the first and second squadrons fight back and retake the high ground!”

Although François had issued the most urgent orders in the fastest possible time, it was still a luxury to let the light infantry without heavy firepower to retake the heights, and Hannibal even sent half of Charlie’s team with him to the northern highlands, where there were now nearly sixty PMCs on the defensive, which was already half of his men, plus two armored reconnaissance vehicles and three jeeps loaded with light machine guns, and recoilless artillery support from the southern highlands, the mercenaries’ counterattack lasted less than ten minutes, It was forced to end because of the excessive casualties.

Because the road to attack the heights from the camp was too far, the hundreds of meters of flat land plus river valleys without the slightest shelter made the mercenaries directly pay a terrible price for the death of more than forty people, and they could not even cross the riverbed. It was also impossible to attack the southern highlands, and the

direct fire from the recoilless guns was more accurate and deadly, and François could only put his hopes on Ek, who was also besieging the southern highlands, and the latter, after sensing François’s predicament, also tried his best to relieve friendly troops, but then they were surrounded by heavy troops from the Shadow Company.

Under the cover of armored vehicles, almost forty PMCs drawn from the defensive positions from the Apple Detachment and the Butter Detachment launched an attack towards Ek’s position, and Ek, who had nothing to do about the armored vehicle, could only watch his men being repeatedly killed by crossfire and falling grenades, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and choose to surrender.

Similarly, when they chose to surrender, Hannibal did not embarrass them, but together with the wounded, drove everyone back to the factory in the valley and reunited them with François.

Even the commissioner of United Mining was no exception, this guy tearfully said that he could pay the ransom, but Hannibal still sent him back unmoved, after all, this tonnage guy knew that he had eaten a lot at a glance, so he should be put back to eat François’s small rations.

Now, François’s two hundred or so mercenaries, as well as other miscellaneous men, are all besieged in the mine, like sparrows caught in a mesh, and there is nowhere to escape.

François never dreamed that his hesitant and painstaking battle plan would become like this, but he was really caught in endless self-blame and regret at the moment, the terrain of the factory area is actually not complicated, that is, the middle of a clearing is high land on both north and south, and endless plains on the east and west sides, so it is simple to defend here, and it is simpler to block here.

Because the east-west direction is not covered in the slightest, the north and south sides can tilt the fire downward as much as they want, and the kilometers of plains are natural hunting grounds, and condescending snipers can easily kill anyone who is active in this place like a pheasant, so it is impossible to expect to break through from the east and west sides.

François, who was sitting in the room with nothing to do, could only order his men to collect all available materials and distribute them centrally, but when they were concentrated, he was dumbfounded, because more than two hundred people could collect them, that is, dozens of packets of compressed biscuits and a few cans, no matter how they were distributed, these foods were enough for everyone to eat for a day, and drinking water was equally pitiful, although the stream on the riverbed had not dried up, but no one dared to take water under the sniper’s gun, and it was completely impossible to hold on!

And the breakthrough, just tried it, the dozens of corpses have not cooled down, and now, in front of François, there is only one last way left.

Looking at the mourning wounded, François could only send a messenger with a white flag to try to negotiate with the Shadow Company, and Hannibal thought that the other party was coming to surrender, so he received the other party, but who knows, as soon as the messenger opened his mouth, if the Shadow Company did not surrender, they would destroy all facilities in the camp.

Hearing this, Hannibal was originally angry and ready to draw his gun, but he couldn’t help but laugh in the end.

“Okay, then you can dismantle it casually, smash it casually, the things inside are broken, I want the lives of ten of you, in addition, I hope your supplies can last a little longer!”

After speaking, Hannibal asked his men to drive the messenger back, and François, who received the reply, was so angry that he immediately wanted to let people blast a building to try, but after the explosives were safe, he calmed down again, and then called the messenger to let him communicate his conditions again.

This time, François put forward the condition that as long as the Shadow Company let them leave safely, the mercenaries would no longer hold the Shadow Company responsible, and the two sides would stop fighting and divide the business market equally.

The messenger was then kicked out directly by Hannibal’s foot.

“If you really think we’re so good-tempered, I don’t mind digging two hundred more graves in this river valley, telling the dog mongrel my exact words, and letting him weigh it himself!”
