King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Joe Ga informed Sanderson and his team that there might be a group of mercenaries from 'Titan Company' in the warehouse.

No one took them seriously, to his surprise!

Already in mission mode, Sanderson only knew they were enemies: armed enemies at that. His only thought was: if you're an enemy, and you're armed, then I will take you down!

As for how many enemies there were, that was no longer a matter for discussion once the attack plan was set.

The optimal solution for the attack was clear!

If there was one enemy, that's how they'd fight. If there were a hundred, they'd still fight the same way; the only difference would be in the difficulty of the process.

Wasn't the special forces unit born to solve tough problems just like these?

Joe Ga especially liked this state of readiness. Rather than taxing his brain to strategize, he preferred to forcefully carve out a path of escape.

Under cover of darkness, the group made their way through the shadows towards their target.

The warehouse was surrounded by a chain-link fence, with only one entrance guarded by two armed men in a security booth.

The CIA could never have guessed that Joe Ga wouldn't lead his people towards Mexico to escape, but would instead take the initiative to attack them.

As such, they weren't very concerned about their security measures. Apart from the two guards at the entrance, they only placed two guards at the warehouse's front and rear doors.

Six men outside, unknown number inside...

Yet it was these six men and the surveillance cameras they discovered upon arrival that presented a challenge for Joe Ga.

To take down six guards without alarming anyone, and then let 'Pliers' plant the bombs securely, was not impossible, but it was definitely a hassle.

The surveillance cameras above the guards would alert the warehouse personnel the moment they fell. The first step for Joe Ga and his team was to cut the power, but if they did, the people inside would still come out to check...

If they got into an open conflict with a larger number of enemies, Joe Ga and his men would certainly be at a disadvantage. He needed to trap all the enemies inside the warehouse to bombard them relentlessly,

The team circled around and entered an abandoned parking lot opposite the warehouse.

Observing the guards from a distance of over forty meters, Joe Ga hesitated for a moment before turning to 'Pliers' and asking, "How long will it take you to set up the bombs?"

'Pliers' efficiently fixed the Broad Sword detonators in place, then carefully labeled each one.

In response to Joe Ga's inquiry, 'Pliers' hesitated and said, "It depends on what kind of opening you need. If it's just to collapse that wall of the warehouse, well, starting from my mark, 15 seconds... Not any less because I still need to rush to the back door to set up the Broad Swords."

After hearing this, Joe Ga looked at Sanderson and asked, "How's your marksmanship?"

Sanderson seemed to grasp Joe Ga's plan and smiled, saying, "Boss, if I couldn't take them down at 60 meters, I wouldn't be alive today."

Joe Ga nodded at this, then pulled Ayu over and gestured for her to open the multifunctional detector on her arm...

Normally, the device should be used adjacent to a wall. At this distance, the readings it provided were very vague, but it didn't matter; Joe Ga had a rough idea of the enemy's position.

From the moment the people inside realized they were under attack to the moment they figured they should come out to establish a defensive line, there would be some time needed. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

If the enemy wasn't highly offensive, they might choose to defend from within the warehouse—a fairly likely scenario, worth taking a chance on.

Once he had made up his mind, Joe Ga turned to Waters and said, "Let's change tactics. 'Tailor' stays here. Once the wall is breached, use the machine gun in coordination with Devil Bird to suppress the people inside, attract their attention, and create an opportunity for us to launch a surprise attack."

Waters immediately nodded in agreement. The location of the parking lot was perfect to watch over the wall and both doors. Once the wall blew up, his machine gun could provide effective cover, creating great chances for Joe Ga's assault and simultaneously protecting the singleton 'Pliers' at the door.

Of course, such coordination required high levels of skill, but Waters was confident. Avoiding shooting his teammates was a foundational quality for an excellent machine gunner.

As the plan to sneak in turned into a frontal assault, Waters said to Joe Ga, who was observing the guards' movements, "Boss, if we're going in hard, let me take care of the two at the back door. You focus on the main gate, and we'll cover 'Pliers' together as he breaks in."

Joe Ga was about to respond with a slap to his forehead when Nis, who had been silent until now, shook his head and said, "The noise from the machine gun is still too loud. Because of the angle, the guards at the back can't see the front. 'Tailor' can aim for the guards at the back door. Unless absolutely necessary, don't shoot; let me do it...

Our guns have suppressors, the people inside might not be watching the monitors constantly. As long as we're quick, we can buy 'Pliers' a few extra seconds."

After speaking, Nis propped his G29 on the engine of a derelict SUV, loaded a special magazine, then smiled at Joe Ga, saying, "If you're fast enough, by the time you reach the front door, the people inside might not even have realized what's happening."

Joe Ga liked Nis's confidence. He assessed the guards' positions and then smiled, saying, "All right then, 'Vanguard' takes the one on the left side of the front gate; I'll handle the one on the right. Nis will take care of the two in the booth, and I'll be on standby for follow-up shots..."

After this brief, Joe Ga turned to 'Pliers,' who was already getting ready to move, and asked with a smile, "How fast can you run?"

'Pliers' rotated his neck, glanced at Nis and Sanderson, who were all set, and grinned, saying, "Depends on the situation. The more thrilling it gets, the faster I run..."

No sooner had 'Pliers' said this than he burst out of the shadows...

The moment he sprinted, Joe Ga cursed 'Crazy bastard!' and swiftly took aim at the guard by the main gate. After taking down the guard with one shot, he advanced, aiming at the booth, only to witness a miraculous scene...

"Bang"

A bullet pierced through the booth's window, passing right through the bodies of the two guards who hadn't yet realized what was happening...

At that time, 'Pliers' was still about 15 meters away from the booth, but as he saw the obstacle eliminated, he didn't forget to give a thumbs-up mid-sprint.

Meanwhile, Nis had already swung his rifle around and pulled the trigger once more...

Perhaps it was fate, creating a moment akin to magic, but Nis fired an armor-piercing bullet that once again went through the overlapping bodies of two guards.

The armor-piercing bullet penetrated the neck of the first person, then, its small form tumbling downward mid-flight, it pierced through the second person's bulletproof vest and shredded his chest.

In maybe less than 3 seconds, Nis had taken down four men at a close range of 50 meters with two shots.

It wouldn't be right to say he 'took down' them because when Joe Ga passed by, the two men inside the guardhouse hadn't quite died yet.

Joe Ga, amid the assault with his HK416, couldn't help but shout "Nice" over the comms, then dashed with Sanderson to their respective sides of the gate.

Ayu, who had caught up soon after, rudely pushed her boss behind and lifted his left hand with the Detector Shield.

Seeing some movement inside, and after confirming there were no enemies in front of the gate, she signaled Sanderson, and they each grabbed a handle of the iron door...

By that time, Joe Ga had readied two flashbang grenades...

Joe couldn't tell how much time had passed, but it was certainly less than 15 seconds.

"Boom…"

A massive explosion caused alarms of cars within a radius of several hundred meters to blare.

The approximately 30-meter-wide outer wall of the warehouse blew open, leaving a gaping, irregular hole as a result of the blast.

Before the smoke had cleared, Waters' Minimi began firing.

'Dada dada…'

A barrage of bullets poured into the warehouse interior, jolting the dazed enemies back to their senses, prompting them to run in every direction.

By then, a one-meter-wide gap had been created in the warehouse door, and Joe Ga threw in the two flashbang grenades...

"Bang" "Bang"

After two subsequent explosions with flashes, Ayu, like a demon, rushed in with the Shield and MK-48, unleashing a frenzy of fire.

The 1200 rounds in the Scorpion Backpack, along with a customized barrel from Joe Ga, maximized her firepower.

The lethal narrow crossfire from two directions of machine gun bullets was enough, yet the following entrance of Joe Ga and Sanderson was like the final nail in the coffin for those disoriented CIA operatives.

There was no blind firing; Joe Ga and Sanderson, on entrance, advanced along the left wall, avoiding the 'Tailor's' line of fire while creating an angle with Ayula. They struck the enemy on the flank under her cover.

Joe Ga was particularly irascible today. While moving along the wall, he yanked two grenades from his physique and tossed them toward the back of the warehouse, blasting a group who had huddled behind cover into a chorus of agonizing screams.

Sanderson, covering his boss, used burst fire mode.

In 3 seconds, he emptied a magazine, killing two dizzy enemies attempting a counter-attack, then shouted "Changing mag!"

Joe Ga, understanding perfectly, abandoned the grenade-throwing tactic and with three consecutive bursts took down several more enemies still on their feet.

The location used to be a meat processing plant warehouse, reasonably spacious but cluttered with two decommissioned disassembly lines for livestock.

The sturdy lines provided good cover for the enemies inside. As Joe Ga advanced over 30 meters, a black-clad figure wearing combat gear abruptly stood up from under the line parallel to where they had just passed, tore off his earpiece, and tried to risk a surprise attack on Joe Ga and Sanderson.

Ayu spotted the guy and was about to swing her weapon around when a bullet fired from outside hit his head.

The armor-piercing round effortlessly drilled through the brave man's head, and after a slight deflection, it even managed to hit another unfortunate person in the neck...

…

"I pray to be freed from the burden of fate…"

"Bang"

"Amidst arduous loads…"

"Bang"

"In the face of wicked judgment…"

"Bang"

"Under the malicious celebration of foes…"

"Bang"

"I beseech your protection!!!"

"Bang"

Estelle, holding a night vision device, was eyeing the combat unfolding inside the warehouse...

With each dull gunshot by her side, an enemy fell inside.

Nis's "Death Prayer" seemed to carry a curse...

Watching a man, broken in spirit, get shot in the back of the head by Nis, then convulse and stiffen as if electrocuted before collapsing with a thud...

Estelle glimpsed Nis's unemotionally profile and shivered involuntarily, then subconsciously tightened her legs.

She would never tell anyone that at that moment, she was so frightened that she wet herself!
