Chapter 685: Chapter 437: Victory Came Quite Suddenly! _3

The director, who had received training, had already noticed that there were quite a few single soldier fortifications built less than twenty meters away from the village!

Although there were no visible figures in those fortifications, he believed that they were definitely not just for show!

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

Right after that shout, dozens of people suddenly appeared behind the fortifications and began firing at them!

The continuous shooting left them completely dazed!

Several of them were immediately gunned down!

Those who reacted quickly managed to take cover, some even managed to return fire.

But those who reacted too slowly didn’t even realize the firepower they were up against and turned to run!

Weren’t they just live targets then?

The director had already found a suitable spot to lie down and started returning fire with his automatic rifle!

However, he never expected that the moment he lay down and began to return fire, he would successfully enter Lincoln Harrington’s line of sight!

Lincoln was lying on a dirt slope to the side, and after observing the situation, he easily locked the director in his sights!

"Bang!"

With that shot, the director was killed.

He didn’t even last one round!

Watching the shooting results of these soldiers, Douglas Cooper thought to himself that he couldn’t overestimate their abilities.

Besides the initial casualties due to their standing position and close range, once these people lay down and began returning fire, the soldiers inside the village basically had no more results.

It was only the few who ran back that he and Elijah Hastings managed to shoot down.

Thankfully, with their continuous input, those lying down were stuck between advancing and retreating, being forced to return fire with insufficient firepower, and then one by one were picked off by Lincoln, Elijah, and himself.

After the last person was killed by Lincoln, he signaled a pose on the dirt slope, and Douglas and Elijah saw it, starting to issue orders:

"Cease fire!"

-Iman heard the voice and began to repeat it in his native language.

Even so, some soldiers continued to shoot.

Edgar Patterson wasn’t going to tolerate that and took out his whip from behind, giving them a few lashes!

This was enough to teach them a "painful" lesson.

Everyone immediately stopped firing and engaged their safeties.

"Gather your guns!"

Everyone understood and immediately put away their guns, standing up.

Although many had sloppy movements, at least they all stood up.

Those who were slower would get whipped, and they didn’t want to get hit again.

"Gather up!"

"Inspect your results!"

With every order given, Elijah Hastings found the feeling he had when he was an instructor in the New Barracks.

These people were obedient, but just a bit slow, or rather, not very good at understanding.

Carrying their guns, they walked forward step by step, while only Elijah and the others were holding their guns.

Although Lincoln confirmed that the approaching armed men had almost lost their combat power, nobody could guarantee that there wouldn’t be any fish slipping through the net.

- That’s why Elijah, Lincoln, and Douglas were the ones to provide backup shooting.

Fortunately, after they collected over a dozen guns and checked each person, all but two were found dead on the spot.

As for the two seriously injured, Elijah asked Edgar and another person to finish them off with a shot.

The two men carried out the order without hesitation.

To them, these were the bad guys who came to destroy their homes, and there was no psychological burden in killing them for Edgar and the others.

Continuing forward to clean up the battlefield, they would gain a lot from this.

Sean Knight heard the gunshots stop in the village and then said to Elder Iman:

"Elder, this time, it seems that all the invaders have been killed."

"That’s great news."

Sean nodded, as it was within his expectations.

With a guarded mentality, along with sufficient preparation and the presence of Elijah and the other two, if there were still any issues, then it meant that the invaders were strong, and they would have to run.

"Why don’t we take a look at the battlefield?" Elder Iman suddenly suggested, "I want to see how well the children did."

"Sure," Sean did not refuse.

The two of them walked leisurely outside the village.

As the gunshots stopped, some women and children in the village also peeked their heads out of their homes to look.

However, without the elder’s permission, they dared not come out.

At the entrance to the village, more than a dozen corpses had been laid out together.

Some warriors carried recovered guns, jumping around excitedly like monkeys, which led to Edgar cursing at them.

Other people on the battlefield were collecting things, including bullet shells, which they tried to pick up without missing a single one.

This reminded Sean of the time when he had military training during high school and needed to hand in bullet shells to the instructor after shooting practice.

One person could only get two or three, but he had treasured them for many years.

Watching the little Africans excitedly picking up a bullet shell, he felt that their feelings were not very different from his own at the time.

How simple their happiness is!

At this moment, Sean even felt a little envious of these little Africans.

But then, he saw several of them who were naked, stuffing the bullet shells into their crotches, and his face immediately darkened.

He promptly retracted his previous thoughts!

Elder Iman, on the other hand, saw the pickup truck coming from afar.

Everyone on the truck was a warrior from the village, but he had keen eyes and could see that the truck was filled with supplies.

He was not concerned about the gunshots coming from a distance.

Could the village get a share of the supplies on this truck?

Elder Iman knew that the village had been exposed.

It was almost impossible for the villagers to move deeper into the desert.

So, they could only make the village stronger for self-protection.

These people were here to invade the village, and besides the guns on their bodies, it seemed that the supplies on the truck were also related to the war.

If they could give half of the supplies to the village, the village could become stronger!

At least in the future, when facing similar situations, the village would be able to protect itself unlike the other two villages, which had no power to do so!

It only takes one or two events to topple a belief and recognize the reality.

Slowly driving into the village, Sean and Iman followed behind.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the other Africans began to cremate the corpses.

The truck stopped in front of the elder’s house.

Elijah got out of the car and lifted the cloth cover in the rear.

Boxes of bullets and sets of supplies appeared in front of everyone!
