Chapter 102

Su Mu listened, utterly bewildered.

But Zhang Zhe understood.

What incredible confidence...

Yet Su Mu asked in a low voice.

"What does that mean?"

Zhang Zhe glanced at the squad marching silently ahead,

and explained.

"There is a distinction between strength and weakness on both sides of a war."

"This distinction brings enormous differences to the layout of the front-line battlefield."

"Generally speaking, accepting mercenary missions from the stronger side is easier."

"But Lu Shu's point is that even for the weaker side, he can ensure the mercenary mission is completed."

Su Mu nodded, half-understanding.

"So, he chose the most difficult one?"

Zhang Zhe shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Strictly speaking,"

"he might have chosen the side offering higher commission."

"Because often, the weaker side offers much higher commissions for mercenary missions..."

Upon hearing this,

Su Mu understood.

She smiled confidently.

"Then I get it."

"This is totally Lu Shu's style!"

The netizens in the live stream agreed heartily.

"Haha! I agree with that!"

"As expected of my Lu Shen!"

"Whether it's hard isn't the issue; the key is the pay must be high!"

"It seems even as a part-time mercenary, my Brother Lu's style remains unchanged!"

After all, having watched the stream for so long,

regarding Lu Shu's little quirks,

everyone was quite familiar.

But listening to Su Mu's teasing tone,

Zhang Zhe's expression turned serious.

"This is war."

"The war situation between the two nations is already extremely severe."

"Although there are few major moves on the surface,"

"privately, both sides have already issued countless mercenary contracts."

"Dozens of mercenary bands from around the globe have already arrived here."

"The Batan Kingdom needs these mercenary bands to help escort supplies for delivery to the Jasha City."

"And the mercenary contracts from the Yilie Kingdom side are to prevent these supplies from entering."

"Driven by the war demands of both sides, this place will become a battlefield for mercenary bands."

"It may even become a private war grinder."

Zhang Zhe's tone was heavy.

Essentially,

mercenary bands are a group of people driven by profit.

Wherever there is war,

their shadows will appear.

So under the high mercenary commissions,

more and more mercenary bands will participate in this war.

"The tragic state of Jasha,"

"has already caused a violent reaction internationally."

"But the Yilie Kingdom has absolutely no intention of stopping."

"The war has continued until now."

"It is no longer just a matter for the two countries themselves."

"Behind them, the power of other nations is supporting them."

"Take the Yilie Kingdom, for example."

"The support behind it comes from power nations led by the Mi Kingdom."

"They attempt to plot for more benefits through this war."

"So the entire population of Jasha City has become the most innocent victims."

"You might even find that many of the mercenary bands from the Yilie Kingdom have accepted commissions from the Mi Kingdom..."

Hearing this,

It wasn't just Su Mu;

even the netizens felt a surge of anger.

"Too despicable!"

"Sure enough, the United States is behind the scenes causing trouble everywhere!!!"

"For their own interests, they export war everywhere."

"Such a country should have been completely wiped out long ago!"

"No, war is one thing, but the key is they don't even care about humanitarianism."

"I saw the news before; many of the injured and dead in Ghasa City were children."

"Sigh, seeing those children turn into cold corpses is too painful...."

"Damn it! Bastards! Crush them hard!"

"Lu Shen! When can you take a part-time job in the United States....."

"We'll crowdfund your commission,"

"I want to see the US Pentagon explode on the spot!"

The team advanced in silence,

soon,

a faint light appeared ahead.

Looking from afar,

it was also an abandoned small village,

only now there seemed to be scattered figures in the village,

and a pile of characteristic bonfires in the very center.

"This should be a supply point."

"It could be a place specifically for mercenaries to resupply."

Zhang Zhe explained softly from the side,

standing atop a sand dune,

Su Mu saw Lu Shu stop.

He signaled two team members with his eyes.

"Big Beard, Nia, you two go."

"Everyone else wait here with me."

"Yes, Captain."
