King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 675 - 640: There’s a mighty being, what were we doing before?

Drone footage showed a luxury villa with a garden and swimming pool under siege.

About 60 black-clad armed personnel launched a fierce attack on the villa from four directions.

RPGs, grenades, machine guns, and automatic rifles—all sorts of individual combat equipment were in use. Surprisingly, though, more than sixty men couldn't break through...

A dozen Iraqis dressed in desert camo and black tactical vests held key points of the villa, repelling the armed assailants time after time.

Street fighting and breaching were tough battles for anyone, but the United States Army-trained Iraqi Special Forces had a particular knack for it.

The Iraqi Special Forces halted the black-clad attackers' onslaught, while another team of 12 were flanking the attackers from behind.

They too wore black combat gear but launched a surprise assault from the attackers' rear.

These guys were cunning to a fault, taking advantage of their similar attire to catch the enemy off guard, swiftly killing six of them.

Now these men were fiercely attacking the enemies near the rear entrance of the villa, seemingly intent on rescuing those trapped inside.

However, as time passed, some of the assailants on their flank started turning around, forming a pincer movement with their accomplices near the back door, putting these men into a difficult fight.

It was impossible to make out the exact postures of the two groups from the air, but from the direction of their maneuvers, these were experienced veteran soldiers.

The street fight on the perimeter lacked the flashy maneuvers of charging and repositioning seen in movies, it was all about suppressing fire, precise shooting, and ducking in waiting...

The intensity of the confrontation wasn't in the frontal battlefield, but among those tactically moving for envelopment and defense.

The third-party guys were very experienced. Once they found themselves in a deadlock with the enemy, two of them voluntarily moved into an alley to set up an ambush.

And sure enough, a few minutes later, some tried to flank them—only to be killed by the ambushers, which seemed to infuriate the attackers...

Several obviously modified vehicles began to enter the battlefield from the periphery...

Four pickup trucks had been armed with M2 heavy machine guns and protective steel plates, and there was a stripped-down Jeep, surprisingly fitted with a recoilless rifle.

These heavy weapons were clearly meant to intercept any Iraqi security forces that might come to support, but now, with the stalled attackers taking losses, they were getting impatient...

However, as soon as these vehicles appeared, it gave Joe Ga and his team a wake-up call. The attackers' preparations were thorough, and these vehicles likely weren't all they had since they had to secure a route for their own retreat.

The villa compound where Ahmed lived had only two ways in or out. Joe Ga frowned in thought, then said, "We have to break in, there could be ambushes set up on the roads..."

After speaking, Joe Ga handed the tablet to Antar and said to 'Pliers' in the co-driver's seat, "'Pliers,' you're the most experienced, do you think they've planted bombs on the road?"

'Pliers' looked back in surprise and said, "How could that be?

If they could plant bombs on the road, there would be no need for a forced attack on the villa. Waiting for them to disperse and ambushing them on the road would be more efficient.

This is probably a tit-for-tat retaliation because the Vice President of Halliburton was killed in the street.

These people clearly wanted to settle the matter quietly but underestimated the villa's defenses.

Those ragged armed pickups are probably there to pose as terrorists to confuse the situation and simultaneously intercept Iraqi security forces."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga nodded in understanding and said, "ISIS indeed has the perfect mastermind – it's as if whatever misdeed they do, it's all justified.

Hmm, ISIS attacking an American ambassador, killing local politicians involved in driving the peace process in Iraq—wow, what a perfect excuse!"

With a rough idea of that group's intentions, Joe Ga activated the communicator and said, "Team B, stay on the perimeter. Devil Bird, Owl, Kitten – dismount, find positions, and deploy all Springblade-600s. I want to keep these guys here..."

As he spoke, Joe Ga stroked his chin and remarked, "This punch seems to lack something. It's not forceful enough..."

After waiting for Nis and his team to get out of the vehicles and disappear into the darkness, Joe Ga readjusted the vehicles. A-Team's remaining members, along with Jazz Squad, driving three Milos Heavy Armored Vehicles, began to rapidly advance towards Ahmed's villa.

Ambassador Steven and Eric paced anxiously in the villa's grand hall...

A group of Iraqi officials huddled in one corner of the hall, nervously discussing something; a few even suggested surrendering and negotiating with the assailants.

Steven looked disdainfully at the Iraqi idiots who half an hour earlier were calling him 'brother' and then turned to a middle-aged man in black combat gear, asking, "Still no contact with the outside?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Sir, you don't need to worry too much. The Iraqi Special Forces guys are good fighters, and as long as the enemy doesn't use heavy weapons, they'll keep them at bay.

Plus, our guys have reached the perimeter, and new reinforcements will be here soon."

After listening, Steven shook his head in frustration and exchanged a glance with the unlucky Eric...

They had bungled their own game...

This was supposed to be a trap set by them for Halliburton's retaliation team.

Not only did they mobilize the Iraqi Special Forces, but they also brought over 20 elite security personnel from Tian Peng, and even deployed a team on the perimeter.

They wanted to bag Halliburton's team by capturing one or two alive, so they could turn the tables and force Halliburton to back down.

Steven was also stimulated by Joe's big boss, feeling that he had put in so much effort to lead the mercenary company's action, only to end up doing something foolish.

Displaying excessive enthusiasm towards the mercenary company not only made the corporate giants think there was still room to raise the price, but also gave Halliburton the illusion they could replace him.

Therefore, Steven used Eric's relationship with Tian Peng to find a squad and physically eliminate Halliburton's vice president.

This guy started a bad precedent!

When political struggles and business disputes escalate to the point of physically eliminating the opposition, both parties' tactics become extremely fierce.

Steven even anticipated Halliburton's reaction, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't just be Halliburton alone—it was also the armored group and the MPRI company.

One could unabashedly say, "If these three companies combined their energy and efficiency under the same contract as Joe's, they would be much more powerful than P·B and Steven combined."

Steven represented the interests of America Energy Group, but if the contract were seriously enforced, these three corporate giants could also profit the Energy Group.

That's why Steven was eager to break away from the other party because they were digging at his foundations.

Steven wanted to clear these obstacles himself, so he kept Joe Ga in the dark the entire time.

As a result, he played it too far and got himself trapped...

Once these high-ranking Iraqi officials suffer losses, much of the work he had done would be devalued.

Just as Steven was restlessly wondering who to lash out at, the sound of heavy machine gun fire erupted from outside...

"Dong dong dong..."

The loud gunfire caused the Iraqi Special Forces members guarding the second floor and the walls to cry out in alarm...

Tian Peng's middle-aged security guard instinctively pushed down on the necks of Steven and Eric, bending them down and entering the interior of the villa to prevent stray bullets from injuring them.

"Prepare the RPG, we must stop them..."

The middle-aged security guard escorted the two into a study and as they passed the stairs, a mercenary in black combat gear peeked from the staircase and called, "Captain, you better come up here and see. Those machine guns don't seem to be aiming for us...

Another convoy has arrived outside, the Iraqis don't recognize them, what should we do?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged security guard frowned and said, "Is it the Iraqi security forces?"

The mercenary shook his head and said, "No, they're in armored vehicles, I've never seen that model before..."

Steven heard this and exchanged glances with Eric, saying, "It's the Milos Armored Vehicle, Hu Lang has arrived..."

Novel armored vehicles in Iraq could only be Milos bought from Seville by P·B.

Eric slapped his forehead, feeling both happy and a bit frustrated...

Strictly speaking, though he hadn't left the American Government yet, but he was already a person of P·B.

As a result, in an attempt to save face in front of the boss and to clean up the mercenary company with Steven, who was also prideful...

Looking at Steven, whose mood wasn't much different from his own, Eric said, "Let's go up and have a look. FUCK, we shouldn't have taken matters into our own hands; we should've discussed it with the boss..."

Steven was so frustrated he felt like hitting the wall, and pulled on Eric, saying, "Let's go up and take a look..."

The group cautiously made their way up the stairs to the second floor, and then crept along the balcony protected by bulletproof steel panels, looking outside through a firing port...

"It's Hu Lang, really him. How did he know we were in trouble?"

As Steven spoke, the middle-aged security guard watched the roof-mounted anti-tank missile launchers of the three Milos Armored Vehicles that appeared in the far end of the road begin to rotate, he inhaled sharply and urgently shouted, "Signal them! Use Morse code to warn them—they're carrying a lot of RPGs, and there's a recoilless cannon lying in ambush..."

While the middle-aged security guard was exchanging signals, the leading Milos vehicle fired its anti-tank missiles.

Two missiles hit two pickup trucks adjusting their trajectory to stop their advance, and amidst the roaring explosion, the three Milos began to accelerate...

The middle-aged security guard saw the Milos nearing the corner where the recoilless cannon was ambushed, and he shouted anxiously, "Quick, send the signa..oh shit..."

With a "boom," a Springblade hit the jeep mounting the recoilless cannon...

Immediately after, smoke bombs were released from the three Milos vehicles...

"Thud thud thud..."

Following a series of muffled detonations, 18 White Phosphorus Smoke Bombs covered more than a hundred meters and enveloped the enemy's heavy weapon areas.

Next, the automatic weapon turrets on top of the Milos vehicles kicked in...

"Dada dada..."

Using their relatively advanced vehicular weapon systems, the three Milos sprayed a large number of machine gun bullets towards the enemy's position, while the drones in the sky swooped one after another towards the enemy's pickups and those behind cover...

The middle-aged security guard stood up instinctively, blinking in disbelief and said, "OMG..."

He looked at Steven and said, "Sir, what exactly were we doing before?"
