King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1883 - 1560: Rescue from the Sky
Capítulo 1883: Chapter 1560: Rescue from the Sky
The situation on the fifth floor forced Joe Ga to mobilize all the medics…
The medical officer Bird, TC, and the Jazz Squad’s veterinarian-level medics all ascended to the fifth floor via ropes from the exterior wall.
The only ones left guarding the first floor were Boss Joe, Ayu, Nis, Antar, and the five members of the Jazz Squad.
The nine of them had to block three descending emergency staircases and fend off outside attacks, leaving them feeling a bit stretched thin.
Seeing everyone starting to struggle, Joe Ga decisively turned off the signal jammer, dragged up Phoenix, who was writhing in agony from bullet ant poison, holding his thigh and screaming, shook his head with disdain, and injected him with a shot of morphine…
Watching Phoenix gasp with relief as the pain suddenly vanished, Joe Ga disdainfully pointed the muzzle at his other leg and said, “Tell your people to lay down their guns and surrender…”
Phoenix chuckled nervously and said, “You’re an untrustworthy bastard, don’t you dare…”
Joe Ga looked at Phoenix, who was clearly toughing it out, shook his head, grabbed one of his hands, and smashed his two fingers with the gun like hammering a nail…
Under the influence of morphine, the pain was not as evident, but the mangled fingers still made Phoenix let out a miserable scream…
“Ah, you madman, you will regret this…”
Joe Ga shook his head slightly…
“Wrong answer…”
“Bang, bang”
Two more brutal strikes left Phoenix’s little finger suddenly suffering a comminuted fracture, exposing the pale bone underneath the torn skin…
Joe Ga pulled out a knife, easily sliced off the attached skin and tendons, and stuffed the severed finger into Phoenix’s shirt pocket…
Patting this guy on the chest, Joe Ga said in a deep voice, “I’m not asking you for help, I’m offering you a chance…”
Phoenix, with bloodshot eyes, screamed loudly, “I’m done for, why would I help you?
My people are outside; if I die, a missile will hit this hospital, just wait and see…
You will go to hell, you’ll go to hell with me!”
Joe Ga didn’t get angry at this; instead, he marveled at the clarity shown by this offspring nurtured by wealthy families…
It’s obvious Phoenix’s will had been crushed, and his misjudgment of Boss Joe’s character and the situation cost him dearly. However, at this stage, the instinct to survive still made him hold onto the last line.
He didn’t want to surrender; he was fighting for the last chance!
If he ordered everyone to surrender, he’d have no chance left!
Joe Ga watched as Phoenix gasped heavily, deliberately diverting his gaze from his mangled hand, and smiled, saying, “I don’t want to kill you; otherwise, you’d already be dead…”
Phoenix shook his head and said, “No, you deceived me, no matter the situation now, I won’t let my people give up…
No matter what you do to me, someone will avenge me…
You, Jemma Alexander, and your families, your companies, everything you’ve done today will make you pay dearly!”
Joe Ga chuckled dismissively, pressing the gun against Phoenix’s cheek, forcing his gaze toward his own right hand…
Seeing this guy weeping bitterly from the sight of his own mangled hand, Joe Ga said in a deep voice, “There are several pregnant women giving birth upstairs, as well as some premature babies needing care.
This is all your damn fault!
I could storm up there and kill all your men, but the ones to suffer would be those pregnant women and children, who might die because of it.
Listen, we’re officially starting negotiations now; hear my terms, then decide if you want your people to surrender…”
Upon hearing this, Phoenix looked at Joe Ga with bloodshot eyes and said, “What exactly do you want?”
Joe Ga said seriously, “I will be responsible for getting you out of Mariupol, and you let your people lay down their weapons and surrender.
I can even let them leave to gamble on their luck outside.”
Phoenix hesitated for a moment, saying, “You’d let me go?”
Joe Ga shook his head and said, “Not to let you go, but to hand you over to the Russians; you’re very valuable to them, so you surely won’t die.”
With that, Joe Ga watched Phoenix’s horrified expression and laughed, “Listen, buddy!
When you kidnapped Jemma and used her to threaten me, we had nothing to negotiate.
But now that Jemma is rescued and I’m holding the advantage, there’s a basis for negotiation.
You’re right; killing you wouldn’t benefit me at all!
You wanted to use Jemma to open a retreat corridor; now I want to use you to trade with the Russians for a retreat corridor…
Very fair, right?”
Phoenix thought about his painstaking planning to bypass the Russians and escape, but in the end, all the hardship was his to bear, and he’d still end up in Russian hands…
He shook his head in pain, saying, “I don’t accept it…”
Joe Ga listened, nodded, stood up, pulled a Hunting Knife from Ayu, and said, “Then there’s nothing to talk about; I’m going to chop off your legs now. I believe the Russians won’t mind taking a Rothschild in a wheelchair…
I know a bastard with no calves, but he’s doing pretty well now; I think you have a chance too…
You’re welcome to come for revenge then!”
As Joe Ga grabbed Phoenix’s ankle, raising the knife to chop, Joseph, who was sitting on the ground with hands tied behind his back, suddenly shouted, “Stop, stop, we are the ‘Executors’ from the International Mediation Company…
We are mercenaries; I can make the people upstairs surrender!”
Joseph saw that Joe Ga indeed paused, and he quickly shouted loudly, “The bastard you mentioned who has no calves, is it Aaron Dupont?
He is the president of the International Mediation Company and our boss…
If you know him, you should understand the nature of the International Intermediary Company!
It’s our job to protect Phoenix, don’t hurt him, I’ll have our people surrender!”
Joe Ga listened and looked at Joseph with interest, saying: “Your boss is Aaron?
Did your boss ever tell you that I’m a VIP of the International Intermediary Company?
You kidnapped a VIP’s friend, doesn’t that mean you broke the rules?”
Joseph was taken aback and was about to explain his identity when Joe Ga waved and said: “But I’m a magnanimous person. Have your people release the hospital’s doctors and nurses, and then let them come out and surrender…”
Joseph glanced at Phoenix, who was screaming loudly with his eyes closed, and reluctantly leaned towards the radio Ayu was holding, saying: “Release the doctors and nurses, let them go to the fifth floor, everyone put down your weapons and gather on the first floor…
Repeat, everyone put down your weapons and gather on the first floor!”
After speaking, Joseph glanced at Joe Ga and said bitterly: “I’ve done as you asked, don’t hurt Phoenix!”
Joe Ga was a bit impressed by this guy’s professionalism, which indirectly proved Phoenix’s importance…
He let go of Phoenix’s foot and said curiously: “Is this Phoenix really that important?”
Joseph glanced at Phoenix, whose face was pale, and nodded, saying: “Very important!
He is currently the fourth generation of the Rothschild family and is a direct great-grandson of Jacob Rothschild.
As an assistant, he has helped old Rothschild handle a lot of behind-the-scenes business over the years, and is now the executive president of the Lake Belga Foundation.
Everything he said earlier is true, if he dies, someone will go to any lengths to avenge him!
And we, who failed in our duties, will be the first to die!”
Joe Ga nodded slightly, saying: “So you don’t want him dead, you should wait for me to cut off his leg, let him speak for himself and tell your people to surrender, maybe your outcome would be better…”
Joseph looked back at the wrecked stairwell, shook his head slightly, and said: “The fifth floor has fallen, and we have no chance.
Sir, you can hand him over to Russia, but please don’t hurt him…”
Just as Joseph was speaking, Antar, who had been staring at the computer, suddenly shouted: “Watch out, RPG…”
As Antar’s words fell, four RPGs cut through the lingering smoke, two hit the hospital’s outer wall, and two exploded directly in the hospital’s first-floor lobby…
“Boom boom boom boom…”
A series of explosions made the already bad situation on the first floor even worse…
The collapsing ceiling, mixed with a lot of dust, reduced the visibility near the first-floor lobby to the lowest.
Immediately afterwards, several rooms on the second floor also exploded…
“What’s happening?”
Facing Joe Ga’s inquiry, Antar put on a gas mask and said loudly: “It’s a recoilless rifle, the enemy is trying to attack…
Boss, I can’t figure out their identity…
There are still 16 Springblades in the sky, all the reserves of the Lion King have been deployed, and it will take 30 minutes for the drones released by Eagle to be in position.
We’re not sure if the opponent has more personnel coming…”
Joe Ga understood Antar’s implication, which is that it’s unwise to use up all the Springblades before the air support arrives…
The Lion King’s gun-launched missile responded quickly, but at such close range to the target, Joe Ga was also afraid…
It’s said to be a guided missile, but if it veers off even a bit, we might just blow ourselves up!
Joe Ga helplessly patted his head and said to Antar: “Take out the enemy’s firepower points, I’ll find a way to get some powerful weapons to block them…”
“Have our people engage, let them hold the enemy on the second and third floors…”
Joseph saw things were not looking good and shouted loudly: “Capturing us is meaningless, Phoenix is in your hands, we can assist you in defense…”
Just as Joe Ga was hesitating whether to agree to this guy, Tony’s voice came through Talus’s communicator…
“Boss, hang in there, we’re coming…”
Joe Ga was momentarily stunned and said: “What are you coming for, to deliver food?”
Tony chuckled proudly and said: “Boss, look at the sky…”
Of course Joe Ga wouldn’t rush out to look at the sky, but Antar switched the drone’s perspective and quickly spotted a large unmanned airship flying in low over MarLupai…
No one dares to openly attack unmanned airships now, but as the airship got closer to the hospital, a few Javelins were launched from surrounding buildings, accurately hitting the balloons on the airship…
“FUCK…”
Just as Joe Ga was ready to curse, the airship disintegrated in its descent…
Influenced by the balloons, the airship was dragged and floated backward…
The thing vomited a load of stuff forward due to inertia, two boxy vehicles and a dozen spherical things opened parachutes in the air…
When Joe Ga saw those metal ball-like things, landing on the ground under the protection of parachutes, then rolling into spherical metal limbs flipping over, standing up like spiders with a humanoid upper body…
Watching these robots clumsily gather weapons and ammunition from around, then run the wrong way like awkward rookies…
Joe Ga slammed his head, cursing: “I give you guys so much money a year, and you come up with this crap?
Can they hold out for fifteen minutes?”
Tony chuckled dryly and said: “Boss, there may be some mistakes the first time…
Don’t worry, they’re impressive…”
