Chapter 137

When Lu Shu got serious,

the squad members no longer joked around,

nodding earnestly one after another,

"Don't worry, Captain."

"With these guys around, even if the enemy sends ten regiments, we'll be fine!"

"If even one supply truck is missing, I'll cut off my own head and let you kick it around like a ball, Captain!"

The squad members immediately started swearing military oaths,

though afterward they all felt a bit worried,

"But Captain, you yourself have to be careful."

"When the time comes, the fighting in the sky is definitely going to be the fiercest..."

The squad members all knew clearly,

after this commotion,

other mercenary regiments nearby had definitely been alarmed,

and would all be searching toward this area.

But with these tanks and armored vehicles,

escorting the supply convoy definitely wouldn't be a problem.

But the most important thing was the battle in the air.

Even with signal jamming,

the Yeli Kingdom military couldn't determine the mercenary regiment's exact route."

But they would definitely send aerial forces to search this area,

and once they spotted the convoy,

they would absolutely carry out merciless long-range fire strikes.

And the Captain's mission,

was to intercept those aerial reconnaissance forces coming over,

that was the hardest part!

"Don't worry, I won't have any problems on my end."

"Let's move out."

"Nia doesn't need to follow me, you go with the convoy."

Lu Shu spoke softly,

then walked alone toward that armed helicopter.

Nia behind him seemed about to speak but held back,

seeming to really want to follow,

but because of Lu Shu's order,

she couldn't disobey.

Big Beard came over and patted Nia on the shoulder,

comforting her with a smile,

"Don't worry, the Captain will be fine."

"The person who can take down the Captain hasn't been born yet."

"Let's go, time to escort the convoy."

Just as the Silver Snake Mercenary Regiment was heading toward the supply point,

an angry roar rang out from the Yeli Kingdom's frontline command post.

"What???"

"A mercenary regiment from the Batan Kingdom attacked one of our military bases?"

"And fucking stole our tanks, armored vehicles, and planes??"

"And now we can't even find where the people ran off to?"

"Damn it! Were you all raised on shit?"

"Execute them! Execute them all!"

After the angry roar,

came another round of things being thrown and smashed,

after a long while,

that furious voice gave an order in an icy-cold tone.

"Go investigate!!"

"Send out reconnaissance planes!"

"No! Send two more armed helicopters over!"

"Even if we have to turn that entire area upside down, we must find that mercenary regiment's location!"

"The moment we have coordinates, hit them with long-range fire and kill them all!"

Meanwhile,

on the coastline,

in a not-very-large coconut grove,

twenty trucks loaded with supplies sat silently in the shadows.

Every soldier of the Battan Kingdom on each truck maintained absolute silence.

This batch of supplies was simply too much,

gathered only after endless hardship,

and they absolutely could not make any sound that might be detected by those damned mercenary regiments of the enemy.

Ahead of the supply convoy,

two Battan Kingdom officers were waiting in extreme tension,

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Another officer glanced at his watch,

and also said in a low, somewhat tense voice,

"Five more minutes, they should be here soon."

"I heard this time there's only one mercenary regiment escorting us."

"Twenty supply trucks — how could they possibly escort them all?"

"What on earth were the higher-ups thinking...."

As they spoke,

the two Battan Kingdom officers both fell somewhat silent,

they had only received the orders,

and were utterly unable to change a single link in the mission.

However,

these two officers knew better than anyone,

how difficult it was to escort a single supply truck into Gasa,

not only did they have to pass through the blockade line of the Yilie Kingdom,

they also had to face the sniping of those mercenary regiments.

Over the past half month,

barely 10% of the supply trucks had managed to slip into Gasa!

Even so,

it was a result achieved only at the cost of enormous sacrifice.

And now,

they were actually going to transport a convoy of twenty supply trucks all at once,
