Chapter 32: Pablo's Ambitions

After John told Pinto to retreat, the three of us did not retreat, but advanced, and gradually advanced towards the common people with guns. At this time, the guards who had been biting us seemed to have given up the pursuit, and only a few people were left in the vicinity to organize and direct the common people to entangle us.

As Pinto and the others came out of the house, Ariel's voice rang in his ears.

"The guy's guard went around my flank and back. They're ready to block us in town! ”

John didn't reply until Pinto withdrew with his men. John flashed to the side and said, "Let's go now." Let's take a look at the guy's guards in a moment. ”

So we fought and retreated, but these improvised civilians couldn't do it, and it was only when we joined up with Ariel that they came out of their respective hideouts and came in our direction. But just as they approached the room where we had been hiding, gunshots rang out in the house, and the two men who had been walking in front were shot and fell. Others instinctively crouched down and then ran towards their previous hiding spots.

"These people are no threat to us. Knock out the guards and we'll get out. John said as he looked at the retreating man. As soon as he finished speaking, a young man rushed into our ranks. It must have been one of the two guides who had brought us into town last night, the son of the one who had been injured at the moment and had stayed behind to continue the fight.

He glanced at our group, presumably not finding his father, and seemed very excited to pull Pinto and ask.

Pinto glanced at John, apparently not knowing what to say to the man. Without saying a word, John pulled the man over and pushed him back into Ariel's ranks, "Let your people look at him." We're going to take him back with us. ”

John looked at Silva's guards, who were shooting and quickly approaching us, "They're stalling for time. I want the people who are ambushing around the town to rush over. He said and looked at Ariel, "We'll take people together to attack them in a moment. After suppressing them, I will take the men to cover, and you will retreat with the men while fighting, and wait for us in the woods before entering the town. ”

I looked at the people who tried to intercept us, and roughly there were not many of them, although there were more than us now, but there were not a few more, and they were not in a good position, because we occupied the entrance to the town, and they could only stretch out of the relatively open area outside the town if they wanted to intercept us, which was very unfavorable to them. The reason why John took the initiative to attack may also be because they have roughly judged their level from the exchange of fire to now, and the other party's intention at this moment is only to delay and not chase and fight as hard as at the beginning, which is even more undesirable to follow their wishes.

Before attacking, I looked back at the house where we had been dodging the raid. The guide was still there, firing a shot or two at the outside from time to time, but it seemed that he would not last long, for the other man had already seen that there should be only one person in the room. They're slowly touching it.

"Attack!" With a shout from John, I withdrew my gaze. Gun raised, shooting at Silva's guards. The other side was quickly suppressed by our dense firepower.

"Up, up, up!" John waved at us and motioned for us to move forward. And Ariel's men continued to suppress each other.

I was the first to get up and start attacking them, slowly pushing forward as I shot at the people who were still firing. I was flanked by Córdoba and Pinto. Because of the lack of numbers and losses, the other party felt that the entire interception line was full of loopholes for a while, which made them begin to become irresolute, some people wanted to shrink, and some tried to plug the gaps that they did not have.

"Take your men and leave, Ariel!" John saw the opportunity and immediately called out to Ariel.

The sound of gunfire behind us indicated that Ariel and his men had begun to move, and by this time we were slowly closing in on Silva's guards. At this moment, the bullets in my magazine were almost empty, and just as I was about to crouch down to change the magazine, I saw a few black dots fly out of the guards on the opposite side of Silva.

"Grenade! Take cover! I screamed and fell to the ground.

The grenade exploded in front of the right, and one of the people on my side was knocked to the ground by the blast of air or shrapnel because he didn't have time to lie down. I was also a little dizzy.

"Fuck you." I looked sideways at John, "Cover me." Córdoba prepares grenades. ”

When John saw me say this, he shouted, "Cover shot!" ”

All but me and Córdoba raised their guns and fired a heavy fire, and I saw one of the men who tried to throw the grenade again be shot and fell, and the explosion ensued, taking with him two people not far from him.

I saw the opportunity, grabbed the grenade and turned to kneel, and threw the grenade out with the maximum swing of my arm. The guy on the other side who had just thrown a grenade and almost killed me was about to get up and shoot, but he was blown up and disappeared.

"Assault! Advance! John yelled and was the first to get up and attack.

I looked ahead, and by this moment Silva's guards had broken down, and they were rapidly retreating into the town, as if they had forgotten what to do with their guns.

Ignoring them, we quickly got up and headed towards the woods with the two wounded, but we didn't have to run a few steps when an explosion was heard from inside the town. I turned my eyes to see the room where the guide was. At the moment, black smoke is rising, and the guide is finished. Some armed men are approaching the entrance to the town.

But they didn't have a chance, and we quickly entered the woods, where they were no match for our untrained people. And the situation in front of them also shows that these people have similar thoughts to us, they did not continue to chase after us, but just placed guns at us at the entrance to the town.

We retreated quickly, much faster than when we came, for John contacted Pablo after entering the woods, and at this moment Pablo had already led the men deep into Silva's territory and was coming in our direction, and the other reason was that Pablo told us that the hundred-man team that was lying in ambush near the town was chasing us.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the meeting point. Pablo was already waiting for us when we arrived, and he brought with him more than 200 men, and it seemed that there were other landlords' armed men involved in the reception. He looked excited to see us arrive and he hugged Córdoba and John. When he saw Silva, his eyes turned cold, but soon he let Silva untie him like an old friend, and seemed to be very affectionate and hugged Silva's shoulders and whispered.

After a while, a man in charge of the guard came running over and said a word to Códobá, who relayed it to Pablo. Pablo smiled a little smugly and explained a few words to Códoba when he heard this, and Códoba nodded and ran out.

I watched Cordoba walk away, looked at John and said, "What are they talking about?" ”

"Silva's reinforcements are coming after him. Pablo told Córdoba to tell the men to withdraw if they didn't want their master to rot in some corner of the woods. John whispered.

I couldn't help but smile when he said that. It's a strange country. It feels like medieval Europe. I found a place to sit and watch our team.

In this operation, two people were killed and two were wounded. If you count the guides, it should be three killed. Ariel's team was much better than ours, with only one minor wounded and no one killed. Thinking of the old guide, I looked at the young man who was crouching on the ground and holding his head, wondering if he was crying, and I didn't know what kind of compensation Pablo would give him. However, if someone can usually work for someone, then this person will generally not treat people badly, because he needs someone to continue to work for him in the future.

About ten minutes later, Córdoba was back here. He looked at Pablo and nodded his head to indicate that it was done. Pablo smiled grimly, patted Silva on the shoulder, and pulled him to signal the Córdoba team to go.

"Looks like we can go back to sleep." I stood up and looked at John.

John smiled and said, "It may not be so easy in the future." Guerrillas, wizards, we're going to deal with them next. ”

"Isn't it to kill him, and we'll be considered a happy end this time?" I asked half-truthfully.

John didn't say anything but nodded, and I picked up my gun and followed him, saying, "Then I'm already looking forward to fighting the wizard." ”

"Yes. Soon there will be an opportunity. John whispered.

Two days later, we returned to Pablo's estate. At the moment, there are more people here to participate in training than before we left, and there are more weapons and equipment. You don't have to ask to know that Pablo is going to start a big move. John is right, maybe we'll have to fight the wizard again soon.
