Strongest Soldier King

Modern special operations do not depend on numbers; it is not simply about having more people to win, but about quality, individual combat capabilities, and cooperative combat skills. An Ordinary Soldier King can take out five to ten Special Forces soldiers, while one Special Forces soldier can eliminate more than five to ten scouts, and a scout can handle five to ten ordinary soldiers. The combat capability of the Hook Tribe's Armed is similar to that of ordinary soldiers, perhaps slightly stronger due to growing up fighting beasts and facing many life-and-death tests, but only close to that of a scout.

According to this calculation, one Soldier King can at least take out more than fifty Hook Tribe's Armed members. The Bloodsuckers and Wild Wolf mercenaries encircling from the mountain's foot all possess the strength of an Ordinary Soldier King, while other forces dispatched by various countries have basically reached the level of an Elite Soldier King. If an Elite Soldier King uses tactics properly, they can even take out nearly a hundred of the Hook Tribe's Armed members single-handedly. From a strength comparison analysis, two hundred people eliminating nearly a thousand Hook Tribe's Armed members is effortless.

Luo Zheng silently calculated the comparison of forces and continuously thought through complex tactics in conjunction with the surrounding terrain, deducing their possibilities. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man's voice shouted from the mountain's foot, "I am the alliance representative, representing the alliance to negotiate with you, do not shoot, I will come up now."

Luo Zheng found the voice familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, and was momentarily startled, immediately recalling the middle-aged man from Sam Country he encountered at the Bloodsucker's lair, his expression turning cold. He thought to himself, "Could it be Piero?" He quickly made a sniping gesture to Mountain Eagle, who nodded in understanding, readying himself to shoot. Luo Zheng then shouted loudly toward the mountain's foot, "Come on up."

Before long, a middle-aged man slowly ascended the mountain, unarmed, stopping a hundred meters away, hiding in the dead angle formed by three trees. Luo Zheng looked toward Mountain Eagle, who shook his head, indicating no clear shot. Luo Zheng gestured to Mountain Eagle to act according to the situation while turning on his helmet camera, loudly asking, "Which country are you from?"

"That is not important, what matters is your situation. If you hand over the items, we will immediately retreat without harming you in the slightest. Why sacrifice your lives for a mere object? You have done your utmost. As soldiers, I deeply respect you," the opponent shouted coldly.

Luo Zheng was almost certain from the voice that the opponent indeed was Piero, yet the opponent wouldn't confess, obviously having concerns. Luo Zheng deliberately exposed him, saying, "You are Sam Country's Special Agent Piero, right? Last night you ventured alone into the Bloodsucker's lair, attempting to persuade Mr. Bloodsucker to join forces with you. Today you come representing other forces to persuade me to surrender. I must say, you have great courage, unfortunately, used in the wrong place."

"So there's no room for negotiation?" the opponent said coldly, neither acknowledging his identity nor denying it.

"We can negotiate. Why not? Hand over Mr. Bloodsucker of the Bloodsucker Mercenary Group and Miss Tang Tian the Wolf King from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group to me to deal with. This is the precondition for negotiations. With this precondition, we can discuss further. What do you think?" Luo Zheng coldly stated.

Luo Zheng's words served to sow discord and probe whether the Bloodsuckers were really allied with the opponent. As for the outcome, Luo Zheng believed the opponent wouldn't be foolish enough to actually hand over the two.

"I cannot accept your conditions. If you don't want to talk, then we won't talk. Don't blame us for being rude if you waste this chance to survive. And Mr. Hook, if you wish to be buried with them, then don't blame us for being ruthless," Piero shouted coldly.

"It seems the Bloodsuckers indeed formed an alliance with you. As for Mr. Hook's choice, reality will prove everything, so you don't need to worry about it," Luo Zheng coldly said.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly a sniper rifle shot rang out, breaking the tranquility of the woods, sending a terrifying death shock wave screeching toward Piero.

Luo Zheng couldn't see the concealed Piero behind the tree but saw the gunfire came from Mountain Eagle. He smiled, knowing with Mountain Eagle's cautious nature, he wouldn't fire unless confident in a hit. Even if it missed the target, it would be good to intimidate the opponent. At this moment, Luo Zheng watched as Mountain Eagle suddenly leaped from cover, charging forward with the sniper rifle held at shoulder height, like a released tiger. While running, he fired two more shots.

"Not good." Luo Zheng didn't know what was happening but quickly lifted his gun, charging forward, executing a classic Bullet Avoidance Step. While running, Luo Zheng spotted two snipers trying to advance being shot back by Mountain Eagle. There was a person lying behind a large tree up ahead, identity unknown.

"Injured him. I'll suppress the enemy sniper; you capture him," Mountain Eagle instructed, running fast while speaking through the earpiece.

"Understood." Luo Zheng quickened his pace, firing at the enemy sniper position, forcing one sniper attempting to advance to retreat, hiding behind a large tree without daring to peek.

At this moment, Luo Zheng saw Mountain Eagle had already reached the enemy's flank, continuously firing. Two dark shadows sprinted down the mountain, clearly wary of Mountain Eagle. Luo Zheng fired two shots, advancing, vigilantly watching the person lying not far ahead, drawing his pistol cautiously.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, the person lying on the ground raised a hand and fired a triple shot using a Desert Eagle pistol, known for its staggering power, significant recoil. It's hard to wield for anyone lacking arm strength.

Luo Zheng dodged swiftly, looking cautiously, finding the opponent turning, sprinting down the mountain limping but not slowing, cleverly using trees for cover, leaving no shooting opportunity. Luo Zheng angrily stood up, chasing, noticing a pool of blood on the ground, confirming the opponent was indeed injured, faking death to deceive him previously. Thankfully, he remained vigilant.

"Are you okay?" Mountain Eagle asked anxiously.

"No problem, this bastard is a skilled fighter," Luo Zheng said angrily, seeing the opponent had already run two hundred meters away. Chasing recklessly would risk becoming a living target for enemies at the mountain's foot. He immediately stopped the equally furious Mountain Eagle, whose face was turning iron blue, and coldly said, "This guy is hurt by you, yet still runs fast, indicating it's just a scratch. Let's ignore him for now and retreat first."

"Understood. The moment I fired, I felt the opponent was alert; his body dodged slightly. The bullet might have been a tad slow, not sure exactly where it hit, likely the leg. From his running style, he seems to have a leg injury," Mountain Eagle said with frustration.

"Let him live for now, let's retreat," Luo Zheng coldly ordered, turning and quickly heading up the mountain.

Mountain Eagle took a reluctant glance at the mountain's foot but still turned to retreat uphill. The Hook Tribe's Armed, having witnessed the earlier battle, was encouraged seeing Luo Zheng and Mountain Eagle's enemy flee, morale soaring. Luo Zheng didn't expect such an effect, smiling with increased confidence in the upcoming battle.
