Chapter 1311: Chapter 1316 Shield

The Steel Madonna truly lives up to the name of the strongest mercenary group.

After enduring an inhuman attack, the Steel Madonna did not collapse, did not lose morale. On the contrary, their morale soared even more, fueled by the need to prove their strength after such a formidable assault.

Just based on this tenacity, the unbreakable spirit, the Steel Madonna lives up to the name of the strongest mercenary group.

Viper suffered an extremely intense attack, one that hit primarily on a psychological level, yet Viper did not fall or break down.

Viper is truly a remarkable person, impressive.

Anton couldn’t help but admire the Steel Madonna, from his Black Devil perspective, he truly appreciated them.

As for Gong Yang, as for Satan, Anton had no more to say.

Ram, the Gun God, is inhuman, there’s nothing to say, although Anton isn’t normal either, he still belongs to the human category, so regarding Ram who has become a Gun God, he had no words.

As for the SS, actually, they were fine, their morale wasn’t really affected.

The reason why the SS’s morale wasn’t affected is because they didn’t even know what had happened. Since the SS’s attack failed, wasn’t Steel Madonna’s failure just as normal?

So the SS was just too ignorant to feel fear, hence their morale wasn’t affected at all—ignorance is bliss, indeed.

So the ones truly affected were only two people, Anton and Viper.

It’s really the more capable ones who recognize true ability, and here only Anton and Viper were capable enough.

Viper was already thinking of new ways, and this time, he proactively invited Anton.

Viper coughed up blood, looking somewhat languid and without spirit, but one must admit, being able to recover from the blow overnight and immediately prepare for a new battle, he deserves the title of a remarkable man.

"There is someone inside..."

He said only half a sentence before Viper stopped, then he was silent for at least three minutes.

At last, Anton broke the silence.

"Without eliminating that person, success in the attack is unlikely. Without using heavy weapons, if you want to eliminate him, then... um, have you changed your mind?"

Viper looked at Anton, speaking softly: "What do you mean by changed my mind?"

"You still want to resolutely rescue Baghdadi? If you changed your mind, the upcoming tasks would become much easier, if..."

"No if, I will not change my mind, no matter the cost, I must rescue Baghdadi alive!"

Viper spoke with determination, putting Anton at ease. Of course, he only pretended to be relaxed since knowing the deep connection between the Steel Madonna and Baghdadi, he naturally understood the Steel Madonna’s stance.

"If heavy weapons still can’t be used, then we can only find ways to reduce that person’s threat level."

That person, can only be referred to as that person.

After Anton spoke, Viper was silent again. After a long pause, he finally said: "Shield!"

"Shield?"

"Yes, shield, we have shields. In tight spaces, facing unavoidable firepower, our solution is shields, heavy shields."

Viper let out a sigh of relief, then confidently said, "Attack from the back door, no matter how good that person’s marksmanship is, he won’t be able to perform. As long as we can get in, we’ll succeed!"

Viper did come up with a viable plan. Satan’s ability to hold out this long was the result of multiple factors working together, but undeniably, Ram’s performance played a decisive role.

Replace him with anyone else, even with Baghdadi as a hostage, they couldn’t withstand an attack executed to the extreme by the Steel Madonna, because that’s objective law, but with Ram, who breaks common rules, Steel Madonna fails to achieve what they ought to.

But if there are shields, reducing Ram’s role to an extreme, the outcome is truly uncertain.

Anton thought he had to come up with a plan, to help Satan delay doomsday as much as possible.

"Shield, well, a shield is a good idea, but there’s a problem."

Anton sighed, saying: "Using shields means a frontal assault. Even if you manage to break in, in such a lengthy time, they could kill Baghdadi a hundred times."

Viper frowned deeply without speaking, and Anton continued: "I have a suggestion I’d like to discuss with you."

"Go ahead."

"It doesn’t matter who’s inside anymore, but as long as they’re alive, they don’t want to die, that’s human nature."

"Yes."

Anton lowered his voice, saying: "You can imagine the situation inside now, corpses, very many corpses, in this weather, they’ll quickly rot and stink, and few can endure this."

Viper stayed silent, pondered for a moment, and said: "Continue."

"Rotting corpses can put immense psychological pressure on people, often enough to make them collapse."

Viper said calmly: "I understand, but after they collapse, they will choose to kill Baghdadi."

Anton said quietly: "Wait till I finish speaking, you could give them hope."

"Hope?"

"Yes, like letting them discover where the electronic interference source is located, do you think they might try to actively strike out and destroy the interference?"

Viper took a breath and said: "Hmm, that possibility exists, at least I wouldn’t resign to die, I’d at least make a desperate effort."

"Yes, clearly the people inside would too. My idea is to continue the siege without rushing to attack, when their psychological stress reaches a breaking point, then launch the rescue action."

Viper shook his head, softly said: "If it were me, before making a final desperate breakout attempt, I would kill the hostage first."

Anton confidently said: "I see it differently, because if they wanted to kill Baghdadi, they would’ve done it long ago, not waiting till now. Since they waited till now, it shows they want to live. If they want to live, they’ll continue to hold Baghdadi as a hostage. In this, I think you should trust my judgment."

Viper looked at Anton again, and Anton nodded: "Trust me, buddy, the decision is in your hands, but I’m very confident in my judgment."

Viper exhaled then said: "So how long do we have to wait?"

Anton thought for a moment, then said: "The corpses are starting to rot now, it won’t take too long, at most a day or two, hmm, wait till the fly larvae turn into maggots, and also, is there water inside?"

Viper shook his head, a slight smile appearing on his face, and said: "No."

"That’s even better. I strongly suggest you wait a bit longer before launching the attack, the chances of success will be much higher, and at the same time, find a way to let the other side know the jammer’s location, maybe they’ll try to attack actively, and once they come out away from protection, things will get easier."

Viper thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I’ll consider your suggestion, I’ll think about it seriously."
