Chapter 125
It would be a pain Kash City could not bear!
But correspondingly,
the temptation
was also astonishing!
Twenty supply trucks!
How much food, clean water, and medicine would that be?
How many children and elderly could it save?
And how much hope could it bring?
"I know your Silver Snake Mercenary Band seems very powerful."
"But this operation... is too risky."
"Your operation is no less than starting a small war."
"And Kash is already on the verge of despair."
"It can no longer bear any blow."
The expression on Gahar's face was incredibly heavy.
He also wanted a glimmer of hope.
The people of Kash also wanted a glimmer of hope.
But that hope is being chopped to pieces by those war butchers, stroke by stroke.
Facing the hesitation of this Supply Dispatch Chairman,
Lu Shu simply spoke very calmly.
"Despair is always better than death."
"It is not terrifying for people to die; what is terrifying is for the heart to die."
"If the people of this city all have their hearts die,"
"then you are completely finished."
After speaking,
Lu Shu casually turned around and walked away.
Since he thought of this plan,
he had already assumed the people of the Batan Kingdom would agree.
For the Silver Snake Mercenary Band,
this was just a hired mission,
but for Kash,
it was life and death.
Sure enough,
just as Lu Shu was about to walk out of the church,
Gahar's resolute shout came from behind.
"Wait!"
Lu Shu stopped his body,
turned around, and looked at Gahar quietly.
He would not offer any more explanations;
he only needed to hear a result.
Gahar tightly gripped his trembling hand,
his throat rolled several times in succession,
and finally he spoke with a hoarse voice.
"I... I'll do it!"
"At 0:00 tonight, twenty supply trucks will appear at the coordinates you mentioned."
"The hired mission is changed to be escorted by your Silver Snake Mercenary Band."
"All other hiring terms remain unchanged."
"I will sign the documents very soon."
Gahar's voice trembled;
making this decision at this moment, he was bearing immense pressure.
But,
he had to admit,
what the young commander of this mercenary band standing before him said was right.
Death is better than the death of the heart.
The reason Kash has been able to persist until now amidst the standoff and blockade
is precisely because a sliver of hope still remains.
That sliver of hope's flame,
absolutely must not be extinguished!
Otherwise,
the people of Kash would fall completely into numbness after despair.
The people of Kash would fall completely into numbness after despair.
After saying all this,
Jahaar slowly spoke again,
"As for that place you intend to raid..."
"If you truly succeed,"
"we will pay your mercenary company an additional 30 million in commission!"
"Of course,"
"this commission cannot be bound by any treaty or contract."
"But if you complete the task, we will absolutely pay the commission!"
Hearing these last few words,
Lu Shu narrowed his eyes.
An unexpected windfall!
Because attacking a military base
falls under war mercenary work.
Yet all of Jhasa's current mercenary companies operate under the status of "action mercenaries."
That is to say,
even if those mercenary companies were lucky enough to destroy an Israeli armored vehicle or something similar,
there would be no commission to claim.
Jahaar's words
were equivalent to granting the Silver Snake Mercenary Company half the status of a war mercenary.
Why half?
Because this operation cannot be brought into the open.
Otherwise, it might implicate more factors.
A separate commission of 30 million
is enough for many mercenary companies to work themselves to death for a long time.
That is to say,
as long as the Silver Snake Mercenary Company truly raids that Israeli military base,
30 million will be deposited privately.
Thinking of this unexpected windfall,
Lu Shu's mood brightened,
and he flashed a brilliant smile at Jahaar.
