Chapter 969: Chapter 535: It turns out it’s aimed at us!_2

Both sides were in a standoff, and each had observed this location, but reaching it was difficult for both.

"It seems the tribe has suffered quite a few casualties," Douglas Cooper said as he looked through his telescope. "There are forty or fifty dead or injured. It doesn’t seem like the other side has any injuries."

"Look closer and see if you can figure out who they are," Elijah Hastings said. "They shouldn’t be from our side right?"

The combat group members on the other side were lying prone, with their heads and bodies covered in cloth, making it impossible to make out any differences.

Identifying these people was very difficult.

Elijah Hastings and his team didn’t know what to do.

Without a way to identify the other party, if they started a fight directly, a misunderstanding could occur, and it wouldn’t be a trivial matter.

After all, they had once impersonated others and crossed borders to participate in special missions.

Now, with no information available, they couldn’t confirm if this group was like them.

Having been in the tribe for less than a week, they simply had no way of knowing if Hassan’s tribe was involved in some other activities they weren’t aware of.

"What should we do?" As Douglas watched the increasing casualties among the suppressed tribal residents, even through his telescope, he spotted Clarence Hughes being pinned down, trying to find a better position to continue shooting.

Anxious, he turned to ask Elijah Hastings.

"Don’t rush, keep watching," Elijah Hastings was also anxious, but he knew that acting rashly wouldn’t solve the problem, and they had to identify who these people were.

Just then, one of the attackers suddenly retracted from the front line to the rear and turned over to grab a radio, beginning communication.

Perhaps because the face towel was inconvenient, the person lifted the towel from their face and shouted into the radio.

"Lincoln Harrington, see if you can make out what he’s saying?"

Upon seeing the man’s actions, Elijah Hastings was overjoyed and ordered Lincoln Harrington.

Almost simultaneously, Lincoln snatched the telescope from Douglas’s hands and started to watch intently.

Lincoln had some lip-reading skills. As long as the person wasn’t speaking in a difficult-to-understand local dialect, he could likely make out what was being said.

"... Only one Chinese person. ... The target is not here, Predator Drone ... can you arrive quickly ... we can’t hold on much longer ... also look for an opportunity ..."

As Lincoln Harrington spat out one word after another, Elijah Hasting’s expression changed!

The other party was undoubtedly the enemy! And their target was himself, not the tribal residents!

Moreover, they had reinforcements and Predator Drones!

Although Elijah Hastings and his men were armed, drones were on a completely different level; they couldn’t possibly shoot one down!

Suddenly, he thought of the weapons that Elder Hassan had been transporting.

Weren’t there individual missiles among them?

He immediately took off his backpack, pulled out a walkie-talkie that had not yet been used, turned it on to a fixed frequency, and spoke rapidly:

"Principal Miller, Principal Miller, if you hear me, respond! Principal Miller, Principal Miller, if you hear me, respond!"

Before arriving at the tribe, Elijah Hastings and his team had brought a batch of walkie-talkies.

These domestic high-powered walkie-talkies could communicate within a radius of several kilometers and were very practical in the mountainous area.

But since they were civilian devices and lacked security features, it was too easy for others to monitor and intercept the transmission, so they could only discuss less important matters.

Elder Hassan, Clarence Hughes, and Elijah Hastings all had them.

However, this time, because they went inside the mountain cave, Elijah Hastings and his team brought them but hadn’t switched them on.

Clarence Hughes, who was amid anger, was startled to hear Elijah Hasting’s voice.

When he looked for the source of the sound, he saw the walkie-talkie.

Could it be that Elijah Hastings and his team had already arrived at the battlefield? If that was the case, then there was hope for victory in this battle!

Clarence Hughes grabbed the walkie-talkie and quickly responded:

"Captain Hastings, received loud and clear! Where are you? The fight has already started here; have you come over?"

"Principal Miller, we have reached near the battlefield! We’ll attack those enemies soon! Tell Elder Hassan to send people with four individual missiles to the southwestern mountain! They’ve sent a drone for support; without these missiles, the casualties for the tribe could be extremely severe! Make it fast!"

"Alright, I’ll tell Elder Hassan right away!"

Upon hearing this, Clarence Hughes was also shocked.

If both sides were fighting with light weapons, then there would be casualties on both sides, but the losses wouldn’t be too heavy.

If the opponent had an overwhelming advantage with a drone, then the tribe would likely be annihilated!

Even if Clarence Hughes didn’t understand much about the military, he knew the power of a drone capable of carrying weapons!

He scrambled and rolled his way to Elder Hassan to report the situation.

Elder Hassan was taken aback. The thing he feared the most was happening!

Although the tribal residents could barely use individual missiles, and shooting at hovering helicopters was still feasible, hitting fast-moving drones was nearly impossible for them!

Elder Hassan immediately called a few people, unwrapped the previously secured equipment, picked up several individual missiles, and headed to the other side of the battlefield.

The attacking team above quickly noticed this and shifted their firepower, attacking those people.

At that moment, a burst of rapid gunfire sounded from their flank.
