Mercenary's War-Chapter 2109 - 2086:

Arguing with Nate is actually pretty pointless, but if Gao Yang doesn’t spend a seemingly boring and frivolous amount of time haggling over tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands with Nate, then he’s the one who will end up losing out.

When business isn’t involved, everyone is good brothers; when business comes up, even good brothers have to take a backseat to business. After countless attempts, Morgan finally instilled this concept in Gao Yang.

If it were before, Gao Yang might have just waved his hand and lent Nate the money, without worrying about what would happen if it couldn’t be paid back. But now, at least the business has to be settled properly; even if Nate’s money doesn’t come through, Gao Yang won’t suffer any loss and might even make a profit.

Anyway, even if Gao Yang generously lent the money to Nate, he shouldn’t expect Nate to say a good word about him. More likely, Nate would call him an idiot behind his back.

But that being said, Satan also urgently needs money right now, and things aren’t too easy for Gao Yang either. Once things kick off in Yemen, the expenses won’t be any less than Nate’s. Yet, the difference between Satan and Angel is that Satan spends not for sentiment, but for making more and bigger gains.

Once the terms were settled, and both the big and small matters were discussed, Gao Yang snapped his fingers and smiled, saying, "Let me go choose people now. It’ll take some time, and I want to get it done soon."

Nate snapped his fingers and said in a deep voice, "There is fighting every day in Donetsk. We’ve taken on the main combat tasks. The artillery has been dispersed in all directions. Wizard will take you to any of the artillery positions, but I want to remind you, it’s best to choose from the prisoners, not the militia."

"Why? Don’t the militia want to become mercenaries?"

"That’s right, so it’s hard for you to select the right people from the militia. They picked up guns to defend their homeland, not to make money."

Gao Yang nodded and smiled, "Understood, you just said the battles are happening all the time?"

"Yes, at every moment, battles will start."

"Great, I want to go to a position where there’s ongoing fighting, and by the way, let my snipers give you a hand."

Nate pointed at Wizard and said in a deep voice, "He will help the woman you brought find a suitable team."

Gao Yang stood up, smiled, and said, "Thanks for the coffee and your plantation. If your plantation becomes mine, I’ll send you enough coffee every year. Goodbye, buddy."

Nate waved his hand calmly, and after Wizard made a gesture of invitation, Gao Yang followed Wizard outside. After walking a while, Wizard said very calmly, "You want to see that position, my artillery isn’t centralized."

"152, I want to see the 152 artillery position, and also mainly recommend observers and commanders for me."

Wizard didn’t show any expression, just nodded.

After walking for some distance, Gao Yang couldn’t help but ask, "Are you also this silent when you’re with Nate?"

Wizard didn’t speak, just nodded slightly as an answer. Gao Yang couldn’t help but say, "I can imagine, it must be really boring when you’re with Nate. Alright, tell me, how are your wounded soldiers? If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know."

Wizard said in a low voice, "Thanks, Panda and Fat Cat have helped a lot. Our severely injured have been sent to a safe place for proper settlement, nothing much needed."

Although Wizard was a bit sullen, he was much more polite than Nate. After thanking Gao Yang, he went outside and shouted, "Prepare the cars, two cars!"

With a few people running about, two SUVs quickly drove to Wizard’s side. Wizard stretched out his hand and said in a low voice, "Too many cars may invite airstrikes, so it’s best we don’t stand out too much. Please." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Phoenix was hugging her gun, sitting alone in a corner. Cui Bo and Lilia were holding each other, reluctant to part, talking about something unknown. Gao Yang shouted, "Rabbit, call them over, let’s go."

Phoenix didn’t need to be called by Cui Bo; she walked over voluntarily after hearing Gao Yang’s shout. Cui Bo, holding Lilia’s hand, came to Gao Yang and said, "Where are we going? So urgent?"

"To the front line, get in the car."

Gao Yang didn’t know where to go either; he just needed to follow Wizard.

The two cars drove off one behind the other, heading southwest towards Donetsk.

From time to time, the sound of artillery could be heard, and once near the city outskirts, the gunfire wasn’t dense but the sound of continuous heavy machine gun firing could often be heard, almost uninterrupted.

They had been away for only a bit over twenty days. For a campaign-level Donetsk offensive and defensive battle, the fighting was far from over. Gao Yang and his crew could move unimpeded between government forces and militias, as the encirclement and blockade were akin to nothing. Otherwise, getting into town would have been a difficult task.

The current situation was a stalemate between the two fighting sides; the combats were small-scale and dense, and the intensity of battles had decreased significantly compared to before. It was no longer large-scale offensives and defenses, as the lines had stabilized. Generally speaking, the government forces held the initiative, while the militias were still in a difficult defensive stage. However, with Russia secretly entering and large-scale aid starting, Gao Yang doubted how long the government forces’ offensive could last.

When the sound of automatic rifles became particularly clear, Wizard had the car stop. Then he said to Gao Yang, "We have to walk now. The artillery position is just ahead. It’s camouflaged, so to avoid being spotted by enemy air reconnaissance, we’d better be careful."

Gao Yang curiously asked, "Is the enemy’s air strike very powerful?"

"It causes significant loss to us, yet still within a bearable range. With the increase of our air defense weapons, the threat from the enemy’s air strike is no longer significant. What needs attention is the artillery attack following enemy air reconnaissance, and Americans can provide the enemy with satellite reconnaissance. Therefore, artillery positions not only need camouflage but must often change positions."

"Oh, understood."

A few people left the car, walked along the wall for a distance, and finally arrived at a small grove in the city. Then Gao Yang quickly saw the heavy artillery arranged under the camouflage net.

Gao Yang pointed to the artillery position and curiously asked, "Is just a camouflage net enough?"

"Definitely not enough, but it’s much better than without. The main enemy reconnaissance mode is still air reconnaissance, hence the camouflage net is quite effective."

Having said that, Wizard arrived at the artillery position, then pointed to a position and asked, "Everyone is here, how do you want to select?"

Gao Yang laughed, "No rush to select people at the artillery position, take me to the command post first. The talents I need are mainly at the command post."
