King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga hadn't expected Karman to have such a "gentle" side towards foreigners.

Even now, he remembered how Karman had reminded him in Tunisia that if he wanted to wage war against drug traffickers in Central Africa, the most important thing he needed to do was to "show no mercy."

Joe Ga had psychologically prepared himself countless times, but the massacre in the village exceeded his expectations—not just brutal, but senselessly and uncontrolledly violent.

Joe Ga could accept the sight of death, but every time he just 'passed by' a house, he never wanted to step inside again, because if there were any survivors, it made him feel this was not the world of the living, but a transit station to hell!

The battle wasn't over yet. 'Fat Goose' was piloting a helicopter, blockading the village across the river, while in the village closer to them, residual armed terrorists still lurked.

Ignoring the survivors who wandered the village like walking corpses, Joe Ga called out to Sanderson, "Let's continue, kill them all!!"

Sanderson, who had a strong sense of honor, nodded forcefully, hit his helmet, and then signalled to the Diamond Quartet to start moving towards the small village to the south.

At this moment, only slaughter could counter the negative emotions brought by the tragic scene in the village. Someone must pay for this; thoughts of consequences, impacts, benefits, etc., did not enter the soldiers' minds...

You started with death, and I will end it with even more tragic death!!

After Sanderson and his team started moving, Joe Ga deliberately kept a distance of 100 meters, following slowly. Glancing at two teenagers clenching their teeth and holding their arms, following behind, he frowned and said to Karman, "They're hurt, let them follow for a while, and once out of the villagers' sight, let them wait in the jungle."

Karman shook his head slightly and in a hoarse voice said, "They need to prove their determination to survive. If they don't understand that, then they aren't worth my effort."

As Karman spoke, he saw his employer furrowing his brow deeply and seriously said, "You should respect my opinion on their matter, as I've been through it and I survived.

I am not one of those Bible-thumping nannies, I won't comfort them, and if I misunderstood their feelings, then their life or death is none of my concern."

Only then did Joe Ga realize that Karman had taken these two boys not because he had softened, but because he saw his past self in them.

The boys' experiences were certainly ones Karman had endured himself; he projected his feelings onto the boys, trying to 'save' them in his own way.

Whether it worked or not, Karman simply didn't care...

If you feel the same as me, then I will prescribe accordingly, but if you 'take the wrong medication,' then it's just your bad luck.

His remaining humanity only allowed him to go this far!!

Joe Ga couldn't possibly disagree with Karman on this, nor did he want to comment on such matters, because those not having lived through it simply could not understand their state.

Out of fear, out of a desire to live, they personally gutted their comrades.

This kind of shadow could never be erased for a lifetime!

Those who have such experiences either become mad dogs...

or delude themselves with reasons to pretend everything is fine, then ignore the missing parts of their humanity, exploding at certain moments.

Or they use self-punishing methods, desperately seeking or even inventing a reason to live, then strive to maintain a thread of humanity and pursue that perhaps nonexistent value of life.

Karman survived this way, and that often-mentioned Sentulu was his guide.

Sentulu, with his charismatic personality, created an unparalleled group of idealistic soldiers in Africa, but once he died, these soldiers became lost once again.

Glancing at the two boys who kept gritting their teeth and persisting, Joe Ga patted Ayu, who still breathed heavily like a wild beast, hot air spraying from his mouth and nose...

"This time you cover our rear, use your machine gun to protect us!"

After speaking, Joe Ga quickened his pace, forming a triangle formation with Karman and Dorian, and quickly caught up with Sanderson and his squad.

The remaining armed militants in the second village weren't many, as most were wiped out by the helicopter during their rescue drive.

However, those who wouldn't move up to support their comrades under attack turned the small village into a living hell, some of the culprits being teenagers.

Fear seemed non-existent to them, as if their meaning of life was merely killing for sport.

Unlike the previous raids by Joe Ga and his team, the enemies in this small village were well-prepared.

"Pop"

Just as Sanderson entered the village, he was hit by a sniper shot. If not for his bulletproof vest, he would have been done for.

'Chainsaw' reacted quickly, dragging the struggling Sanderson to cover; his teammate "Impact" threw a grenade towards the direction of the sniper shot, then machine-gunned a place that seemed like a cellar.
