King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 570 - 549: Confrontation



With Antar's report, the members of Team A on the rooftop of the small building began to prepare...

Ayu held a ram's horn hammer and with a 'bang,' knocked out a fist-sized shooting hole in the wall in front of Joe Ga.

Then he walked over to Menon and Kuba, who were fiddling with an M110A1, gestured with the hammer at eye level, and swiftly opened up 4 shooting holes a few meters apart in the wall directly in front of them.

Nis, Kitten, and Antar had already prepared, with Antar's directed position right in front of where Nis and Kitten were situated, and just by slightly adjusting the angle of their barrels they could find the terrorists who had gone up to the rooftop.

Qiao's position was not very good, as he had to turn his body and look through the narrow field of view of the scope, and it took him three or four seconds to locate the small building reported by Antar.

Joe Ga habitually kept his left eye open when he shot, which helped him better search for the enemy, but this situation where he could only search through the scope made him quite uncomfortable.

Joe Ga handed the SVD to Kitten and then equipped himself with a 20-inch barrel, sniper model HK417.

Due to the power of the ammunition, its straight-line range was a bit less than that of the SVD, but a rifle that didn't require wind correction at 650 meters was already enough for him, as urban battlefields rarely needed ranges over 500 meters.

Moreover, it was clear that the HK417 better suited Qiao's style—because it was faster, more stable...

Looking through the scope, he could see the top of that small building, which had a parapet full of pockmarks, and through the high clarity of the scope, Joe Ga could make out a monocular telescope sticking out from a hole.

Joe Ga whistled and said with a smile, "Owl, can you confirm they are terrorists?"

Antar reported the location of the enemy on the distant rooftop to Nis and Kitten, then turned back and sat down on a chair, propping up an AWM supported by a stand, and said earnestly, "Civilians wouldn't take sniper rifles and RPGs to rooftops.

These are a reconnaissance team; they're experienced. I don't dare let the drone get too close, or they might notice."

As Antar said this, he stared through the scope and added, "There are more than four of them; there are two more in the street below.

It's side-light right now, don't stick the barrel out, they will notice us."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga honestly retreated about ten centimeters backward, making his field of fire even narrower.

Menon and Kuba were very talented snipers, but due to habit, they were closer to Qiao's style. This was their first time in such a sniper battle.

Menon obediently stepped back and then sighed regretfully, "If we retract the barrel, we can't see them anymore. Boss, can I change to a different angle?"

Joe Ga glanced at Nis, who was crouched on the ground holding a G29, still as a statue, shook his head, and said, "Right now I'm just a soldier, and everything must follow Devil Bird's orders.

Don't rush, hold your positions, there will be a time for you to shoot."

No sooner had Joe Ga spoken, than Nis said, "Owl and Kitten, take care of the two downstairs. Hu Lang and I will deal with the enemies on the rooftop."

Hearing Nis's words, Joe Ga shut his mouth and got serious, locking onto the position of the monocular telescope once more, and spoke in a deep voice, "I'll take out their spotter..."

"I'll take care of the one on the left downstairs."

"I'll take care of the one on the right."

Once the three had responded, Nis wiped some dust from the ground onto her face, muttered a few phrases, and then, with her index finger on the trigger, softly said, "Fire~"

The four nearly pulled the triggers simultaneously...

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

The two lookouts below the distant small building, one was hit in the chest, his back bursting with a splash of blood against the wall, then staggered a few steps backwards and slumped to the ground, lifeless.

Another one's head was pierced, stiffening on the spot like electrocuted for a few seconds, before slowly tumbling down amidst nearby screams.

The bullet Joe Ga fired hit right where the telescope was, grazing the edge of the scope and then through the narrow space, striking the spotter's cheekbone with precision.

At the moment the powerful bullet struck, because of instability, it tumbled horribly, rolling around inside the spotter's skull cavity, puncturing his head and leaving a large hole.

Nis was the last to shoot, her armor-piercing disintegrating bullet penetrated the cinder blocks of the distant rooftop and hit a sniper in the ribcage.

Then the lady boss slightly turned her muzzle and fired again...

"Bang"

After the sound of the shot, the bullet once again pierced the cinder block wall, and with uncanny foresight, struck a fellow trying to check on the spotter.

The last guy, frightened by the remarkable shooting, sat on the ground and slowly backed away, seemingly terrified that any large movement would draw a deadly shot.

Just as Joe Ga was about to attempt shooting randomly to create holes, Antar glanced at the drone's footage and then fired a shot toward the distant rooftop.

The bullet deformed and ricocheted after passing through the cinder block wall, and then a puff of dust and debris exploded on the inner side.

After firing, Antar, who was fixated on the drone footage, left and said, "Devil Bird, shift the point of impact 15 centimeters to the right..."

"Bang"

The armor-piercing bullet made a small hole in the gray brick, then hit the last guy in his waist and abdomen.

Incredibly, that guy still had the ability to move after being shot. Amidst agonizing pain, he propped himself up and stumbled a few steps toward the exit before he finally collapsed on the ground in pain.

Nis glanced at the computer beside Antar, decisively packed up the tripod of his G29, and said, "Let's change location..."

Joe Ga heard this and was just about to remind Nis that they were at an advantage here, and attracting the terrorists to attack might not be a bad idea.

But seeing the determination on Nis's face, he quickly stood up to help Antar pack up the tripod under her AWM. He then looked at Menon and Kuba, who seemed a bit disappointed, and scolded with a laugh, "Don't just stand there. We're definitely exposed. Time to pull out..."

The group retreated to the ground floor, where they met up with Karman and Dorian, who had been on watch. Under Nis's lead, they crossed a rubble-strewn area and then entered a small building that had half-collapsed.

The part of the small building that had collapsed provided a better view of the front of the small building they had just been in...

At that moment, Joe Ga probably realized what Nis intended to do, but he really didn't think the terrorists in Tubruq would have the courage to expose their position and charge over to find the trouble with the snipers under these circumstances.

However, Joe Ga underestimated the terrorists' madness. Just as they were getting into position, several terrorists appeared near the observer's building, one of them holding a little boy's hair, pointing a gun at a veiled woman, and shouting something loudly...

"What are they trying to do?"

"Shit, it's a car bomb..."

Just as Dorian cursed, Nis fired again...

"Bang"

The one grabbing the boy's hair, Big Beard, was hit in the ribs by a bullet that seemed to carry a high-voltage electric shock. It pierced through Big Beard's body and made him stiffen on the spot.

Joe Ga and Kitten fired at the same time, continuously pulling the trigger to take down several loudly shouting guys nearby, leaving only the mother and son weeping and holding their heads.

Nis, like an emotionless machine, pulled the trigger while the mother and child were crying in pain, hitting the ground beside them...

The flying debris made the mother realize that it was not safe there. She stood up, took her little boy's hand, and pulled him towards the small building where Joe Ga and the others had been.

Joe Ga kept his eyes on the scope, ready to cover the mother and child if they encountered danger.

Until they reached the vicinity of the previous small building, no more terrorists emerged.

Karman holding a pair of binoculars, pressed against the wall and looked out through a hole, saw the mother and son enter the building. He pressed the communicator and said, "Send a vehicle for pickup."

As he spoke, Karman glanced at Nis, who was still intently watching the distance, and shook his head, saying, "Good habits need to be kept. We change locations. If there are terrorists nearby, they will definitely continue to attack that mother and child to draw our attention..."

Joe Ga had never fought this kind of urban warfare, and curiously asked, "What do the terrorists gain from this?"

Karman did not answer; instead, Antar spoke with a slightly heavy tone, "They need the people here to believe that leaving will not grant them safety.

We must evacuate the mother and son. After they are gone, the people in this area will start to waver."

Saying this, Antar hesitated for a moment, then added, "Boss, if we rescue the mother and son and the people in this area still do not waver, we should consider giving up this area controlled by the terrorists for the time being.

The consequences of a gas bombing here will only drive the terrorists into a corner, resulting in many deaths!"

Joe Ga, cradling his rifle, shook his head and said, "I don't believe everyone supports the terrorists. They're just scared, so we'll give them some courage."

With that, Joe Ga pointed to the small building they had just come from and said in a stern voice, "Let's go back!

This time we'll dig in there. I want everyone to know that terrorists are just cowardly failures.

The essence of terrorist activities is not to vent anger, but to tear down the government's veil of absolute reliability, which in turn causes the civilians to lose trust in the government.

Although we are mercenaries, we can rebuild that trust.

Even if the scales tip slightly in our favor, it will be enough. The people here won't expect too much from us."

Karman listened and, looking at Joe Ga's earnest expression, finally nodded and said, "Then we'll have Teams B and D bring heavy weapons over as well. We need to establish a defensive line that can provide mutual cover.

The T1 soldiers can stand by at any time for support!"

Saying this, the old man stretched his shoulders and neck, his voice becoming grave as he added, "This area needs to be dealt with sooner or later. We should remind them that this is the battleground.

Dragging most of their men here will allow the plan to clear the city to proceed faster..."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga, intrigued, asked, "How do we remind them?"

Karman, showing his grim white teeth, said with a cold laugh, "Slowly evacuating the people of this area will drive them insane..."
