King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

"Pop pop"

"Pop pop"

A few crisp gunshots, muffled by silencers, rang out, and several armed ISIS terrorists in the distance instantly fell to the ground.

Ronnie and the medic Bird, closely following Boss Joe, quickly circled forward and burst into the commercial street filled with stalls.

After advancing on the terrorists, they swiftly fired additional shots, then bent down to separate the bullets from the terrorists' weapons.

Bat Squad One followed closely, bypassing the surveillance cover of Boss Joe and company, and under Menon's lead, entered the commercial street along Joe's side, starting a rapid inspection of the shops along the way...

Joe Ga, seeing Ronnie make a hand gesture, patted Dorian's shoulder, and the group quickly entered the commercial street, beginning to inspect the shops along the left side.

Bat Squad Two, as the cover team, entered last, maintaining a distance of a few dozen meters from the two teams in front, forming an inverted triangle point, providing rear cover for the two teams.

Simultaneously, they brought three nearly silent electric flatbeds along the central road of the commercial street, focusing on the directions both front and back, while clearing out the local people trapped on the street.

This commercial street was the outer area of the ISIS-controlled zone, not any critical position, and the three teams advanced nearly 200 meters before encountering new enemies at an intersection...

The ambient noise during the day, combined with the distance, meant that despite all the gunfire from Joe and the others, it didn't alarm the remaining enemies inside the market.

The micro UAVs provided Joe and his team with sufficient visibility, just as Joe and Dorian were planning to deal with the enemies around the corner in the same manner...

Several terrorists, gathered to smoke, suddenly heard their radios crackle, and then, in a moment of realization, grabbed their guns and ran towards the intersection.

And on another street, a few terrorists seemed to receive some instructions as well, and they started to gather towards the street where their fellow terrorists were located.

"Watch for possible snipers at higher points..."

The enemy's movement alerted Joe to a problem; he looked up at the surrounding high points, trying to find the sniper's position, as Ayu pulled a ballistic shield from his back to cover one side...

It wasn't difficult to gauge the enemy's approximate position; the tall buildings around weren't many, and even fewer could clearly view the market's location.

Soon, Joe Ga identified the enemy's position…

A sniper was inside a business building on the side of the hotel where Amina and the others were located. To gain greater firing angles and surveillance range, they smashed a portion of the building's exterior glass curtain wall, making it particularly conspicuous...

That position was nearly 1500 meters away from Joe and his team, so the sniper hadn't fired but had instead notified the surrounding market terrorists to encircle Boss Joe and his group…

Boss Joe wasn't someone who liked being watched. He patted Dorian's shoulder and then took a few steps back, leaving the task of intercepting the enemy to others…

He then pressed the radio button and said, "Bat Squad Two, activate the Springblade, release four missiles, search the nearby high-rise buildings, and take out any similar snipers for me..."

With that, Joe Ga looked up and used the Talus system to lock the sniper's position, grinning as he said, "Spearhead missile, one shot, fire~"

As a small missile shot up from the vehicle behind them, the street-side terrorists had reached the intersection.

While Dorian was leaning against the corner, preparing to ambush the approaching terrorists at the corner, "Rhino," who had been very silent on the road, suddenly rounded to the front of the team.

He pushed Dorian aside, pressed against the corner wall, glanced back at Dorian, and as a few terrorists appeared, instantly stretched out his left hand to choke the innermost terrorist...

The terrorist instinctively grasped Rhino's wrist, trying to break free, but then sensed a strange paralysis in his body, his muscles seemingly losing most of their strength.

'Rhino' seemed to treat this guy as if he were dead, single-handedly choking the terrorist, turning around to use the enemy's body to block the shooting line of sight from the terrorists behind, and with a swift swing, decapitated a still unresponsive terrorist on the outside...

Then the burly man with a menacing respirator kicked forward with a Spartan King's direct kick, hitting the last terrorist squarely in the chest...

With a heavy crunching sound, the terrorist, about to raise his gun, flew back a few meters as if hit by a truck, then slammed heavily onto the ground without movement.

Rhino, still choking the first terrorist, pinned him to the wall, his right hand naturally reversed the Machete grip, and then his fist gripping the knife handle smashed heavily into the terrorist's chest.

With a heavy "bang," the terrorist's left chest showed a clear depression, his eyes bulged as if electrocuted, and his body went limp as if all bones were removed, devoid of life.

Dorian watched as 'Rhino' dumped the terrorist on the ground like garbage, moved forward a few steps, bent over, and sliced open the neck of the terrorist kicked away, still barely breathing, then took a deep breath of enjoyment and let out a low, comforting growl...

Due to the unique construction of the respirator, Rhino's low growl gave the illusion it came from some ancient monster…

Originally intending to scold Rhino for disrupting the team's rhythm, Dorian rolled his eyes, glanced back at Ronnie, whose expression was equally odd, and said, "FUCK, this is one hell of a freak!"

Saying this, Dorian, Ronnie, and the medic Bird dashed to the center of the intersection, guns raised, at the moment the Spearhead missile hit the sniper's position, and coordinated with Bat Squad One on the right to execute precise shooting at the emerging enemies further down the right street.

100 meters, 4 enemies...

Bat Squad One displayed extremely high proficiency. The other side clearly already knew what was happening here. As soon as they appeared, their AKs were already firing...

The enemies on higher ground were obviously too late to report Dorian's actions. Those bullets were all aimed at the corner where Bat Squad One was.

Three men suppressing, one carrying an RPG on his shoulder, four coordinating to catch Joe's team off guard!

But the two forward shooters of Bat Squad One didn't give them any chance...

Two agile Black men, one crouching and one standing, fired 9mm subsonic bullets with double the charge from their specially-made AS special assault rifles, instantly targeting the enemies' chests.

The two terrorists following behind had no time to stop. As they rushed out of the street corner, Dorian and Bat Squad One's assault soldiers simultaneously opened fire...

Likewise, they used subsonic bullets, yet Dorian's gunfire was even sharper than the Bat Squad's. The AS special rifles seemed more practical and stealthy within a hundred meters.

As the Bat Squad One leader, Menon grinned at the surprised Dorian, patted a comrade on the shoulder ahead, left them on guard, and led three other comrades to rush through, setting up cover on the opposite side of the street...

The tactical proficiency of the Bat Squad exceeded Joe's expectations. He gave a thumbs-up to Menon and Kuba, then said, "Elephant, we cover, let Bat Squad Two go first..."

Upon hearing the order, Dorian turned around to join Joe Ga and Ayu, and the three aimed their guns at the shops along the commercial street on the left to prevent any undiscovered enemies from rushing out.

Rhino was evidently not accustomed to Team A's rhythm. That innate wildness and spontaneity made his attacks as swift as a beast's during combat.

But to make him follow the alpha wolf's lead like a pack requires the leader to demonstrate enough prowess to reassuredly hand over the initiative...

Joe is formidable, but his invincibility comes from marksmanship and high-tech equipment. In terms of individual combat strength, compared to old Karman and those veterans, he's indeed lacking!

However, Rhino's loyalty to Joe is undoubted. When he realized he wasn't quite in tune, he willingly made way, crossing the street first and began waiting...

Joe Ga didn't mind Rhino's small issue. They were all battle-hardened veterans, and alignment problems could be resolved with some adjustment.

Karman sent Rhino over to replace his role as a vanguard, so Rhino's combat habits should be respected.

"When did this guy become so strong?"

Joe Ga looked at a few corpses lying on the ground, especially the unfortunate one with the chest caved in from Rhino's punch, clicking his tongue, "Is this guy's fist made of iron? Seems stronger than King Kong..."

Ayu retracted the shield, clenched his left fist and showed it to Joe, saying, "Boss, it's not that he became stronger, but the effect of the Talus flexible exoskeleton..."

With that, Ayu saw that all of Bat Squad Two had crossed, she patted Dorian on the shoulder, saying, "GO~"

After crossing the street, they formed a line again. This time Rhino led as the spearhead, with the three squads occupying the left, center, and right positions of the street, extending their tiers and quickly advancing.

The surrounding terrorists began a large-scale mobilization when the missile exploded. Originally, they wanted to wait for information from Mecca, now thinking the Shah army had started a betrayal attack, they chose to assault the hotel...

For a moment, gunfire around the hotel intensified!

Joe Ga wasn't particularly worried about Princess Amina's safety because besides a team of Kurdish female soldiers, she was also guarded by GIGN recruited by the Iron Wall Mercenary Group, and overhead were two Rainbow UAVs armed with Blue Sword 7 missiles providing cover.

GIGN, as France's top combat force, may not have a great advantage in the field, but in a hotel holding advantageous terrain, it's no problem to fend off terrorists for a short period.

During the advance, Joe Ga peeked at Rhino's fist, then compared it to his own hand adorned with tactical gloves, and said to Dorian, "I gave up the support on my palm for finger flexibility, but you also have a full set of Talus flexible exoskeleton. Why is there such a big difference?"

Dorian paused, then said helplessly, "Boss, Rhino and them are freaks. Why should I compete with them in strength?

As long as I shoot more accurately than them!"

The medic, Bird, at the end of the squad, seeing Dorian unable to explain the boss's question, smiled and said, "Boss, it's not that the strength increased, but that physical endurance improved!

The principle of flexible exoskeleton is to utilize external support to increase the body's load capacity. However, if used to it, it can also reduce the counterforce generated by the body when striking.

Just like a boxer must wear boxing gloves to deliver super heavy punches, effective protection allows the explosive power of muscles to express freely and avoid injury.

However, to effectively use the exoskeleton for this purpose requires specialized training, distinguishing the equipped from non-equipped state, and forming muscle memory to ensure one's safety.

Elephant is right. Rhino and those veterans are freaks. They discovered the Talus exoskeleton's effects earlier and formulated their usage patterns sooner.

The flexible exoskeleton is more of a labor protection item for us, but for them, it's a weapon!"
