Mercenary’s War
Chapter 929 - 929 919 The Mission is Not Over Yet

929: Chapter 919: The Mission is Not Over Yet 929: Chapter 919: The Mission is Not Over Yet At night, the speed actually increased significantly.

Gao Yang had been worried that as they approached Damascus, they would encounter interceptions or even combat and would have to forcibly deliver the goods to their destination, but he found that wasn’t the case.

After approaching Damascus, the desert turned into a steppe, then the steppe gradually became farmland, and finally, the convoy once again found its way onto a highway.

Once on the highway, though the road conditions were poor and there were some obstacles, the speed of the vehicles dropped but the convoy never stopped, not even at checkpoints that were obviously controlled by armed men, not even slowing down.

Since Krulney joined the convoy, Gao Yang was no longer responsible for planning the route, which was no harm, always traveling on the territory controlled by the Rebel Army, safety didn’t have to be worried about too much.

The Rebel Army controlled a large part of the outskirts, but had not yet completely surrounded Damascus.

Although the rebel-controlled area was large, it was quite fragmented, which meant that the convoy had to constantly circle around to avoid the territories controlled by the government forces.

Following the vehicles in front through winding turns, Eileen suddenly said, “The cars leading in front are all our colleagues, it seems they are very familiar with this place.”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “Yes, they are very familiar with this place.”

Although they had GPS, the route they were taking now was clearly not something that could be followed using GPS guidance; GPS could not differentiate which territories were controlled by the Rebel Army, and they continued smoothly without even slowing down to confirm the route.

If it weren’t for the lead car being especially familiar with the routes, even if there were someone in the following cars directing with a radio, it would not have been possible to travel this smoothly.

Eileen said in a serious voice, “I don’t know what kind of mercenaries Krulney has brought, but I feel that they couldn’t have just arrived here, they must have been here for a while.”

Gao Yang gravely said, “I don’t know which Mercenary Group they are from, but they must have been here for a long time.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t mercenaries.

Don’t forget, behind the Rebel Army are the Americans.”

Taking a breath, Gao Yang solemnly said, “We will finish our mission tonight, stay sharp, and don’t let anything go wrong.”

As they neared the outskirts of Damascus, Gao Yang didn’t put away the Blade of Satan; he simply took down the Shotgun, then adjusted the shotgun’s position for easier access to the shells, and took out the pistol, chambered a round, and attached the gun holster’s buckle in between the hammer to be ready to shoot at any moment with the pistol.

After preparing for close combat, Gao Yang said over the radio, “We are about to enter the urban area, get your close combat weapons ready and be extra cautious when dealing with the Rebel Army.

Just don’t think you are in a safe zone yet; load your pistols and release the safety, don’t wait until you get off the car to do this, it would appear too hostile.”

Eileen looked at Gao Yang and smiled, “Commander, you are still as cautious as ever.”

Gao Yang grinned and said, “I haven’t relaxed on this journey.

Everyone we deal with are extremists, it’s better to be cautious.

I’m not afraid of encountering any well-known professional soldiers, but extremists, who knows what they might do.”

The Blade of Satan was too long to maneuver easily in the vehicle, so Gao Yang kept his Shotgun in hand, and Eileen was right, the closer they got to their destination, the more nervous he became.

Finally, the vehicle slowed down, and Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “We must be close by now.”

Eileen glanced at the GPS and said, “We should be close, we’re now in the eastern suburbs of Damascus, and moving forward we will soon enter the urban area.”

Gao Yang nodded and said over the radio, “We are almost at the location, if there’s a fight it will be street fighting, be careful and stay alert.”

Having traveled a long distance through the desert, Gao Yang felt somewhat uncomfortable and even more uneasy as they entered a densely built-up area, because in the desert everything was in plain sight, he could ensure no enemies approached, but it was different in the urban area, the combat would be close-range, definitely more dangerous than in the desert.

The convoy indeed reached its destination, Gao Yang saw that the convoy entered a fairly large yard, resembling a factory, and it seemed to have been abandoned recently due to the war.

The convoy stopped in the yard, and Gao Yang saw many people there, at least a hundred.

The vehicle had stabilized, and Gao Yang looked around at the crowd and whispered, “There are too few words needed to describe the people here, white robes, black robes, big beards.”

Eileen chuckled and said, “You’re right, it is indeed so.”

Gao Yang pointed at Eileen and said, “Cover your face.”

Eileen muttered discontentedly, but still took off her helmet, put on a headgear that only exposed her eyes, then fastened her helmet back on.

Surrounded by people who clearly weren’t of any good nature, Gao Yang felt immense psychological pressure.

At that moment, a truck parked in the courtyard started up again under the direction of several people and drove into a large factory building.

The factory was spacious, and the door was large enough for the truck to enter without any trouble.

After the truck entered the factory, Gao Yang saw that Krulney had already gotten out of the vehicle and was waving at them with a smiling face, while the people Krulney brought were getting out one by one.

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “Let’s all get out.”

Staying in the vehicle wasn’t a good idea; to truly consider safety, it was better to get out because not only could the car not provide any cover, but staying inside would also make them a stationary target.

As for the armored SUV, an RPG with armor-piercing shells would take care of it.

After getting out of the vehicle, Krulney, still sporting a face full of smiles, waved his hand and said, “Follow me, it’s time for you to get paid.”

Gao Yang and his group followed Krulney into the factory.

Aside from the truck, there were at least a dozen or so pickups parked inside the factory, lined up so densely it was hard to count exactly how many there were.

There were also a lot of people, about thirty or forty, standing behind the truck.

The truck’s cargo doors had already been opened, and the people were cheering with guns in their hands.

Gao Yang had no doubt that if they weren’t inside the factory, these people would certainly be firing their guns into the air to celebrate.

A big bearded man in a black robe stood outside the crowd with a serious face, looking very authoritative.

Additionally, five individuals armed with guns stood behind him, while Mulafa was happily reporting something to Big Beard, apparently giving a report.

After Gao Yang and his group entered, they clearly stood apart from another group of mercenaries.

Krulney spoke to the authoritative Big Beard in Arabic, while Eileen quietly translated on the side, “We’ve delivered the goods.

There were some minor incidents on the road, many warriors sacrificed, but the goods are undamaged.”

The stern-faced Big Beard was clearly the leader; he just nodded without speaking.

At that moment, the mercenary escorting the truck, a white man with a big beard, suddenly said, “Aleppo needs this batch of goods more, it would be best to send it there as soon as possible.”

After giving the white man a brief glance, he simply said softly, “This place needs it more.”

After he finished speaking, Big Beard then glanced at Gao Yang with a clearly visible expression of disdain on his face and said to Krulney in front, “The goods need to be immediately redistributed to other locations.

The route to Aleppo isn’t secure yet, and we need your people to help.”

Krulney laughed and said, “I’ll be leaving right away, but my people are very willing to help.”

Big Beard glanced at Gao Yang and his group again with a sidelong look and said grimly, “Their role here is finished.

There’s no need for them to go to Aleppo.

Be careful on the road to Aleppo with your people; this batch of cargo is very important.

Also, Kaseliev will join you on the journey.”

Krulney laughed and said, “Okay, understood.”

After Big Beard nodded, he shouted, “Start unloading!”

The crowd surged forward, and a few people entered the truck and began pulling out boxes, with Krulney watching them with a smile.

Whenever a box was brought down, it would be caught by the people below and then placed on a pickup truck.

Once a pickup was loaded with four boxes, Big Beard said, “Alright, get moving.”

The outermost boxes contained money.

As Gao Yang watched the boxes being loaded onto the pickups and then swiftly taken away, they all remained silent, just quietly watching.

Krulney walked over to Gao Yang, smiling, and said, “I know you’re eager to leave, so you won’t be troubled with the escort to Aleppo.

But your job here is not yet done; you still need to continue delivering goods.

Of course, only a part, the location is in Damascus, but you’ll need to pass through the government-controlled area.

I presume that won’t be a problem, right?”

Gao Yang nodded and replied, “Of course, our job is to deliver the goods to the designated location.

Since we haven’t reached the final destination yet, we naturally need to continue.

I just have a question, where will the commission be cleared?

Fifteen million United States Dollars, it requires a quite big box to pack, like the ones they are taking away right now.”

Krulney laughed heartily, slapped Gao Yang’s shoulder with his palm swollen with blisters, causing him pain after which he blew on his palm a few times and bared his teeth before saying, “The final payment will be cleared here; you don’t have to worry about your compensation.”

The number of boxes in the truck gradually decreased, and with each pickup filled, several people accompanied the vehicle as they left, thus both the number of vehicles and people in the factory gradually decreased.

When the last rows of boxes at the deep end of the cargo compartment were visible, a red dot suddenly appeared on a green-painted box.

There hadn’t been special markings on previous boxes, but Gao Yang noticed no change in Big Beard’s expression nor in Krulney’s.

Just then, Big Beard waved at Krulney and said, “Let’s go; now we’ll talk about paying you.”

After Big Beard turned around and walked away, and as Krulney turned to follow Big Beard outside, he waved at Gao Yang and the other mercenaries and then laughed loudly, “I’ll be back soon.” (To be continued.
