Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1158 - 1158 One Thousand One Hundred Forty-One The End

1158: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Forty-One: The End 1158: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Forty-One: The End Tommy fired a decisive shot.

Despite everyone’s long efforts, nothing was as significant as Tommy’s shot; in other words, after everyone’s prolonged struggle, it finally provided Tommy with the opportunity to clinch victory with a single shot.

Although not a leading figure like Badadi, Camel was too important to the Rebel Army.

Firstly, as a Blasting Expert, as long as Camel was alive, even if the current attack on Aleppo Prison failed, Camel could organize a second, third assault, until the prison was seized.

The Rebel Army lacked the capability to breach fortifications, but the arrival of Camel brought this ability to them.

From an outsider to becoming one of the influential leaders of the Rebel Army, Camel only took a short time, and his influence continued to grow, eventually dominating the Rebel Army’s ranks effectively.

Caucasus Camp was very combat-capable, but understaffed.

However, once Camel took control of more troops and used Caucasus Camp as the seed to influence and reorganize the troops he led, the previously ragtag group underwent a significant change.

If Camel did not die, it was hard to imagine what the Rebel Army under his leadership would become.

But Tommy’s shot took out Camel, the Star of Tomorrow within the Rebel Army, permanently removing a key figure who could have greatly advanced the Rebel Army.

With Tommy’s shot, only Camel in the Rebel Army was killed, but it also eliminated the soul and future of the Rebel Army.

Just like that.

With the death of Camel, and with Caucasus Camp nearly decimated in this battle, it can be concluded that at least the Rebel Army in Aleppo has essentially lost its capability to assault, so a tragedy like that at Kendy Hospital is unlikely to happen again at Aleppo Prison.

Setting aside the long-term impact of Camel’s death on the situation in Aleppo, let alone Syria, his death signifies the ongoing battle at Aleppo Prison has come to an end.

With the death of the highest commander, the Rebel Army attacking furiously was like losing its backbone.

The command structure of the Rebel Army immediately plunged into chaos.

The origins of the Rebel Army were complex, and under Camel’s strong leadership, people from various backgrounds could be united under his command.

However, with Camel’s death, there was no one to take over his command, causing the many mid-level commanders under Camel to start thinking for themselves.

The chaos and collapse of the command structure initially did not affect the soldiers fighting at the front, but soon, as those still trying to breach the prison realized there were no longer orders from the rear, no reinforcements, and no clear objectives being issued, they quickly fell into disarray.

When the commanders under Camel realized they should withdraw their men to preserve their strength in order to gain more power after Camel’s death, the retreat order was issued swiftly, turning the Rebel Army’s confusion into a major rout.

The Rebel Army’s retreat was quite sudden; for ten minutes after Camel was killed, their frontline attack was still fierce, but suddenly, as soon as the first Rebel Army soldier started to flee to the rear, the battle could be declared over.

Gao Yang and his men stayed on the rooftop without leaving.

Watching the Rebel Army begin to flee in panic, Gao Yang sat down on the ground, took a long breath, and said with mixed emotions, “It’s over.”

Saidev also said with a feeling of relief, “Yes, it’s over.”

The battle was over, but it didn’t mean they could start celebrating victory.

Saidev stood up from the ground and said to Gao Yang in a serious tone, “General, the enemy won’t launch another attack, I have to check on the wounded.

The priority now is to rebuild the collapsed wall.”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “Go ahead, we’ll keep watch on the enemy.

If there is any movement from them, we’ll notify you immediately.”

Saidev waved his hand and said to Gao Yang, “General, there’s one more thing, I think you should leave today.”

Gao Yang was silent for a moment and did not speak.

Saidev was right, today was a good opportunity to leave.

The Rebel Army had just suffered a crushing defeat, and most crucially, their commander had been killed.

They were bound to fall into chaos, which presented a good opportunity for departure.

The helicopter was originally scheduled for arrival on the eighth in the early morning, Ling Chen, but calling it to come for pickup earlier was simple.

The only issue was that it felt somewhat awkward for Gao Yang to depart just after the battle had concluded.

Emotion must give way to rationality.

The Rebel Army was no longer capable of further attacks, and Aleppo Prison was no longer in danger.

Waiting until the Rebel Army stabilized and reestablished their air defense would mean greater risks when leaving.

Opportunities come but once, and after briefly pondering, Gao Yang nodded and said to Saidev in a serious tone, “We’ll leave today.”

Saidev was in a hurry to leave; he had many things to take care of, so he didn’t have time to enact a prolonged farewell with Gao Yang.

Saidev approached Gao Yang, embraced him, and said earnestly, “General, thank you for everything you’ve provided during this time.

Without you, it’s hard to say what the outcome would’ve been.”

Gao Yang patted Saidev on the back and said in a deep voice, “I have to thank you for everything you’ve done for us during this time.”

After they parted, Saidev nodded at Gao Yang and quickly ran off.

As he left, Saidev brought his walkie-talkie to his mouth and shouted, “Hurry up and get all the wounded to the infirmary, properly settle the fallen brothers, everyone who can move, follow me to block up the collapsed wall, those guarding the prisoners, let the controllable ones help block the gap, move it, everyone get moving, no need to leave people watching the enemy, the General’s men will handle that.”

Gao Yang stood up, walked over to Tommy, and gave him a hearty pat on the shoulder.

After giving Tommy a thumbs-up, he smiled and said, “Buddy, you did it.”

Tommy waved his fist and said solemnly, “This makes me feel much better.”

Jansen, full of excitement, said to Gao Yang, “Boss, we can leave today, right?”

Gao Yang nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, we’re leaving today.”

After speaking, Gao Yang waved his hand and exclaimed loudly, “Let’s go, everyone down.”

The soldiers who were just exchanging gunfire with the Rebel Army had already put their guns away and were coming out from various corners, gathering in the prison yard.

As Gao Yang and his group descended from the rooftop, they happened to meet a group of soldiers leaving their battle posts to gather in the yard.

Upon seeing Gao Yang, the four soldiers who were briskly running halted, saluted Gao Yang in unison, and with faces full of joy, they shouted, “General!”

Gao Yang returned a military salute, smiled, and waved his hand before saying, “Hurry on.”

After the four soldiers had left, Gao Yang smiled as he watched their retreating figures, then laughingly said on the walkie-talkie, “Guys, we’re leaving tonight, it’s all over, but before we go, stand one last watch for the brothers still in prison, assign positions, monitor enemy movements, and alert promptly if the enemy shows any unusual activity.”

“Boss, we’re leaving?

Today?”

Hearing Eileen’s surprised voice, Gao Yang laughed and said, “Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, I’m about to make a call to the people who are picking us up, just wait.”

Tommy called out to Gao Yang loudly, “Boss, Big Bird and I are going to monitor the enemy.”

Gao Yang nodded, watched the two head off to different locations to keep an eye on the enemy without any blind spots, then slowly walked away from the three-pointed star-shaped building towards the building where he usually lived.

Many people were already in the prison yard, but the prison guards had not yet begun emergency repairs.

They were busy digging out comrades’ bodies from the rubble on the wall or trying to find recognizable parts of their friends from the shattered remains.

Everyone who saw Gao Yang stopped their work and saluted him.

This salute was not only for Gao Yang but also for all the members of Satan.

Gao Yang always returned each salute very seriously until he reached the temporary space where the bodies were laid out, where he stood still and saluted the soldiers laid out in a row on the ground.

Many soldiers had been killed by the blast of the suicide truck, their bodies mangled by the shockwave, but some remained intact, with no apparent external injuries.

It was only the grey dust on their bodies and the black trails of blood from their mouths, ears, and noses against the dust that revealed death by internal trauma.

Gao Yang did not know if the soldier who had destroyed the suicide truck and saved all of them was among these bodies, or perhaps that brave soldier didn’t even leave a body behind, which was normal.

Gao Yang saluted all the bodies and then bowed his head in a minute of silence, expressing his mournful tribute and gratitude.

Although he saw Saidev, Gao Yang did not say a word from beginning to end, as Saidev was busily commanding people in various tasks.

Gao Yang quietly returned to his room.

He took out the satellite phone, turned it on, dialed a number, and once the call connected, Gao Yang said solemnly, “Dani, send the helicopter to pick us up.

Yes, today.

While the Rebel Army is still in chaos, the sooner the better.

Why is the Rebel Army in chaos?

Hmm, the enemy has suffered a crushing defeat, with heavy casualties, and we have killed Camel.”

In a few words, Gao Yang briefed Dani on why the withdrawal was brought forward, then hung up the phone and called Justin.

Once Justin answered, Gao Yang said solemnly, “Buddy, I’ve got news for you, Camel is dead.

Yes, I’m certain, I saw him get killed.”(To be continued.
