Chapter 720: Stalemate

A man jumped out from behind Alexander, and his presence interrupted Alexander's words, and made Alexander notice that several of the thirty men they had brought back had raised their guns, as if they were ready to shoot at any moment.

Almost instantly, Alexander understood what those men were planning.

They don't care at all about the life or death of Maxim and Nikodim, these people, if not cornered, simply could not have agreed to join their mercenary army.

Even in the current situation, these people knew that there was no other choice but to join Maxim's mercenaries, and they still put forward very harsh conditions.

First, their team of thirty people, in Maxim's mercenaries, should maintain sufficient autonomy, and if the mission goal of the mercenaries in the future is related to the Russian government, they will act without reservation. But if the mission objectives are not relevant to the Russian government, they will make a decision on a case-by-case basis.

Second, they demanded that their leader, a fellow named Sadulaev, have the same status as Maxim in the mercenaries.

Thirdly, when they were preparing to attack the Russian government, Maxim's mercenaries were to provide them with ammunition and logistical assistance.

To tell the truth, this is recruiting a group of bandits to join his mercenary army, it is simply inviting a group of uncles.

If it weren't for Maxim's insistence, Victor or Alexander, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have the patience to talk to each other a long time ago. Even if it weren't for the fact that there were only five of them and they were at an absolute disadvantage, they would have the heart to kill each other directly, and then snatch their current weapons and equipment and come back directly.

But Maxim was very insistent on recruiting these thirty men into their ranks, and Maxim felt that these people had just become exiles and had an extremely strong hatred for the Russian government, so their current choice was obviously not calm and rational enough.

As time passes, the hatred will slowly fade, although the conditions they give are very harsh, but as long as time passes, some of them will see that Maxim's men eat and drink spicy food every day, and they can only get the most basic food needs, this mentality will naturally be reversed.

At that time, there is no need for Maxim to do anything to divide them, those people will naturally have their hearts, who doesn't want to live a good life?

Even if Sadulaev still insisted at that time, he would not have been able to stop his men from defecting to Maxim's side.

At that time, it is not impossible to kill Sadulayev directly, and on Maxim's side, there will be at least a dozen more brave generals, after all, these people have received a baptism of fire that is far more severe than Maxim's gang, and they are still fearless in the face of war, so when performing mercenary tasks, they will definitely be able to play a far more powerful role than Maxim's gang.

But that was all in mind when Maxim's mercenary army was complete, and it took a lot of time to foreshadow.

Now, all they need is a place to hide, and someone to provide them with a guarantee of survival.

When we arrived at the camp, there was already a place to hide, and the basic supplies were already there.

As long as the three people on the opposite side are killed, Sadulaev will immediately have the foundation to live and survive. With only a supply stock of more than 100 people here, even if it is only two months' supplies, it is enough for Sadulayev and his 30 men to survive for at least half a year.

They had no reason to care for the lives of Maxim and Nikodim.

Seeing that Viktor stood in front of those who raised their guns, including Sadulaev, only when he raised his guns, his subordinates would follow suit, so as soon as Viktor jumped out, he directly blocked in front of Sadulaev, and pressed the muzzle of his gun down.

It stands to reason that Alexander should have joined Victor to stop those men, and if any of them fired, even if the man hiding behind Maxim and Nikodium on the other side was shot into a hornet's nest, Maxim and Nikodium would be dead.

But looking at the area around the empty field, the corpses are all over the ground, it is like a hell on earth, and some places are still burning with flames because of the explosion.

There was no need for Maxim and Nikodim to tell him, and Alexander also knew that the more than 100 people in the camp were afraid that they had been completely wiped out.

In particular, he saw that on the ground, which was closer to Cheng Yu's direction, there was a huge body that had not moved for a long time. It was Vasily, that was the Hulk of their mercenary army. And that guy is not only strong in melee combat, he actually has a good marksmanship, and his ability to make explosives is also very good. It's a strengthened version of the Hulk, except for the fact that he can't fly, he's almost a combination of Iron Man and the Hulk.

Even Vasily died at the hands of the other party, how strong can the man who hides behind Maxim and Nikodim be?

The point is that when Alexander was talking to Cheng Yu just now, he had already observed that he had not been able to see any corpses that did not belong to their mercenary army. This means that there are almost no casualties among the culprits responsible for today's catastrophe.

Obviously, those people are still hiding in the shadows, and as long as the people on Sadulaev's side shoot, they will inevitably cause a strong counterattack on the opposite side. When the time comes, it will be a fierce battle, and perhaps everyone will die here.

Alexander hesitated, he didn't know whether he should stop Sadulaev's men from doing it.

For the sake of Maxim and Nikodim's life, he, like Victor, threw a mouse, and after the gunshot, Maxim and Nikodim had no chance of survival.

But it was for the sake of both of them that Alexander felt that he should not have stopped Sadulaev. Now, if you want revenge, you can only count on Saduraev's gang, otherwise, more than a hundred people have already died here, and the five of them will never be the opponent of the gang hiding in the shadows.

Nikotim's performance has actually made Alexander understand that he has long put life and death aside, or maybe he knows that he will not live until tomorrow. Nikodym's insistence on being a translator for Cheng Yu was undoubtedly a signal for them to do it directly, and it was clear that Nikodim's idea was that he only wanted to make the people who caused today's situation pay the due price after his death.

But the problem is that Nikotim has probably seen death calling him, and Alexander still wants to live.

Eventually, he decided that he had to work with Viktor to stop Sadulaev, and not let them shoot, who knows how many people were in the shadows?

Viktor was already a little impatient, and while he was communicating with Sadulaev at a rapid pace, trying to persuade him to abandon his decision to shoot, he was angry at his companions, including Alexander, why hadn't a second person come out to stop them so far?

Victor turned his head abruptly and glared at Alexander fiercely, and Victor was relieved to see that Alexander had finally taken a step.

"Don't shoot, don't!" Alexander shouted under his breath as he rushed forward and got ahead of the men's guns.

"Why don't you come here and stop them, do you really want to die here?" Alexander yelled at the remaining three of his men as he stood in the way.

Of course, he knew that Victor rushed forward without thinking at all, he only wanted to save the lives of Maxim and Nikodium for the time being, and he did not fully think about the current situation at all. And the remaining three people on their side are only afraid that there is a lot of similarity with their own ideas, so they hesitate and do not take this step.

"Sadulaev, if you don't want to die here, don't shoot. When Alexander saw that his companions had finally stepped forward to stop them, he turned to Sadulaev and whispered to him.

Sadulayev frowned and said, "I don't know how important those two men are to you, but can't you see that they are dying? Moreover, in my team, it is all the more necessary to shoot decisively, at least so that they can see the enemy on the road with them before they die. ”

"Can't you see how many people have died here?" Alexander grabbed the gun from Saduraev's hand, "I can tell you responsibly that the death toll is close to one hundred and forty, and our men, except for the two who were taken hostage, have been wiped out. And among the corpses lying on the ground, none of them were theirs. I could name almost every corpse in the clearing. ”

Sadulaev was stunned when he heard this, and he looked at the other four suspiciously.

In Sadulaev's view, the scene was so tragic that many people did not even have a decent weapon in their hands, but judging by any aspect, he believed that it was a lose-lose situation.

Most of the corpses strewn on the ground naturally belonged to the mercenaries under Maxim's command, but the only enemy who raided here should be the guy hiding behind Maxim and Nikodim.

Sadulaev just now felt that his luck was really good, he was just trying to find a hiding place to remain as independent as possible, but now he got a complete chance to occupy the magpie's nest. But he really didn't expect that Alexander would tell him that the corpses on the ground were all from this mercenary army.

So, apart from the guy hiding behind the two hostages, there are a lot of enemies in ambush?

Sadoulaev suddenly became nervous.

He saw that among the four men in front of his men's guns, the guy named Belinsky nodded at him.

Although Sadulaev has only just known each other about these five people, he can't talk about any understanding and friendship. However, this guy named Belinsky seemed to be just a dispensable person in the whole negotiation with them. But as long as the negotiations between the two sides reached an impasse and no one was willing to make concessions, it was always this Belinsky who was properly involved and guided the other four to make greater concessions.

Sadulaev also sent someone to ask Belinsky, and the answer was that Belinsky said: "My task is to guarantee that you will definitely join our mercenaries." We can talk about the rest of the conditions. And they don't necessarily really want you to join. ”

In the subsequent negotiation process, Belinsky still played this role, so among the five people, Sadulaev trusted him the most.
