Chapter 1423: Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Four: See Who Arrives First

Gao Yang held a shotgun in his hand, pulled out his phone with the other, flipped through the call logs, and dialed Andre.

Once Andre answered, Gao Yang immediately whispered urgently, “We’ve run into a group of opponents we can’t handle! Quick, come help!”

Andre was briefly surprised, then loudly said, “I’m coming right away, where are you?”

Gao Yang looked around, unable to find any location signs, he shouted, “Alyosha, where is this place?”

Alyosha, holding a pistol in one hand and a phone in the other, was also on a call. Hearing Gao Yang’s question, he screamed at the top of his lungs, “In Venlevitin!”

Gao Yang immediately shouted urgently to Andre, “In a place called Venlevitin! Listen, come quickly, bring everyone you can, bring all the heavy weapons you can carry, and don’t rush to get close when you arrive, stop at a safe distance and use heavy firepower! Just follow my lead when you get here!”

Andre urgently said, “Wait! Wait! What’s going on? What’s your situation now?”

Gao Yang shouted frustratedly and tensely, “We’ve cornered some unidentified people in a small building, and now we’re stuck. It’s too complicated to explain quickly, but in short, we’ve encountered an unknown group, and now it’s turned into a mess! They won’t come out, and we can’t retreat, just hurry and help us!”

Andre shouted loudly, “Then just run away!”

Gao Yang shouted anxiously, “What do you mean? If we could run, we’d have done so already. We are within enemy range, any movement and the people inside can shoot us at will, so it’s impossible to escape!”

Andre asked in surprise, “If you can’t run, why haven’t they shot you yet?”

Gao Yang shouted angrily, “Because if they dare to shoot first, we’ll shoot them dead! It’s a standoff, understand? I don’t want my people to die, and they don’t want to die either, so we have to drag it out. Why do you have so many questions? Just hurry and bring your men!”

After shouting, Gao Yang remembered a key question he hadn’t asked, so he quickly continued, “How many people do you have there? How long until you get here?”

“I’ve got nearly two hundred people here, they just arrived today, and I had just finished distributing weapons when you called. Wait, I’m coming right over, I know where you mean, ten minutes!”

Gao Yang hung up the phone, then said angrily, “Ten minutes! Our reinforcements will arrive in ten minutes!”

After Gao Yang finished speaking, Frey whispered to Gao Yang, “Boss, cover me once more, I’ll move quick, maybe I can get the Cloud Burst Bomb out!”

Gao Yang thought carefully about the time Frey would need, then shook his head and said seriously, “No way, you might be able to get the Cloud Burst Bomb out, but you can’t complete the launch. If you intend to forcibly launch the Cloud Burst Bomb under cover, you’d die right after launching, we’re too close, the enemy doesn’t even need a sniper, anyone can hit you!”

Number Thirteen only had a pistol, he rarely used guns, but right now his assassin skills were of no use, and holding a small pistol was better than nothing.

Eileen and Li Jinfang were closer to the enemy than Gao Yang, and being closer made reconnaissance difficult. Eileen, not daring even to lift her head, shouted into the intercom, “F**k! Who are the people inside? The Angel Mercenary Corps aren’t all that, are they?”

The toughness of the people inside the small building was exceptional, and besides the Satan Mercenary Corps themselves, Eileen first thought of the Angel Mercenary Corps.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and said loudly, “That’s right, they are at least on par with the Angel Mercenary Corps.”

Andy loudly said, “Damn it! Where did these people come from? Such a formidable group, if they are a mercenary corps, they couldn’t be unknown. Could it be Iron Madonna?”

Iron Madonna had suffered several losses under Satan’s hand, but that didn’t mean Iron Madonna was weak.

Satan managed to gain advantages in clashes with Iron Madonna because Iron Madonna was the ambushed party. If it were a direct battle, where they outnumbered Satan, Iron Madonna could have wiped Satan out over and over.

Gao Yang thought for a moment then said quietly, “I don’t think it’s Iron Madonna. Based on our past encounters, Iron Madonna’s people don’t cooperate this seamlessly.”

When the real fight happened, Cui Bo became calm and said slowly, “I also don’t think it’s Iron Madonna or Angel, but if not them, who else could be so powerful?”

Gao Yang said exasperatedly, “Are you kidding? There are many powerful people in this world; just because someone ranks first doesn’t mean they’re invincible. Does being second or third mean they are weak? Maybe the people inside aren’t mercenaries, stop guessing,”

As industry leaders, the formidable opponents who came to mind would be those also at the top. However, this doesn’t mean that those ranked second or third would necessarily be defeated by the first. Mercenary group rankings are more a reflection of fame.

An unranked group, when holding some advantages, could also defeat the top-ranked mercenary group. War has never been conclusive; it’s about timing, geographical advantage, personnel quality, battlefield conditions, and so on—a comprehensive consideration, not just that the top can dominate the world.

Time was ticking by, and nobody inside or outside the building dared to move. As Gao Yang said, no matter who moved first, they could indeed inflict damage on the other, but they would also suffer damage. Gao Yang didn’t want any casualties for Satan, so they had to wait it out, and the opponent seemed to have the same caution, so both sides were maintaining this terrifying balance, achieving a temporary peace.

Gao Yang felt that resolving this situation wouldn’t be easy since the people in the small building were not moving. Most likely, they were waiting for someone, just like they were. Now it was a question of whose reinforcements would arrive first, and once reinforcements broke the current fragile balance, casualties would probably occur.

Gao Yang pressed his earpiece and spoke quietly, “Everyone listen up, pay attention; when Andre and his team arrive, we must not make the first move. Let Andre’s team go first, and when they establish fire suppression from a safe distance, preferably blasting the people in the building sky high, that’s when we’ll act.”

Albert said seriously, “What if their reinforcements arrive first?”

Gao Yang paused, then said helplessly, “Then it’s all over. We can only pray Andre gets here first; no choice, keep an eye out, I’ll hurry up Andre!”(To be continued.
