Chapter 830 - 769: The Treasure is Here!

But this time, Song Heping's reaction surprised everyone.

He shook his head and said, "No, I can't do anything about it either. I have no idea where Damar is."

"Are you joking internationally!"

Ferrari couldn't help but scorn, "I thought you had a foolproof plan based on your earlier analysis. Turns out, you were just daydreaming?"

"It's okay to think about it."

Song Heping said, "If we can't take down Damar today, we'll do it tomorrow. Anyway, if we said he'd die, then he has to die..."

Before he could finish, the satellite phone started vibrating.

Song Heping took it out and glanced at the number, a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

"Who is it?"

Ferrari understood Song Heping the best.

"Is it that female doctor?"

Song Heping nodded, "Yes, it's her."

He answered the call and put it to his ear.

"Maria, is something wrong?"

As soon as the call connected, before Song Heping's first sentence could finish, he realized something was wrong.

Because on the other end of the line, the background was filled with gunfire.

"Song, we're besieged! Help us!"

Maria's desperate voice came from the other end.

"Speak slowly, don't worry, who's besieging you? Where are you?"

"At Doro."

Maria provided the answer.

Song Heping immediately found Doro's position on the map.

This small town is located north of the Machar Swamp Zone.

"What are you doing there?!"

"Our helicopter was shot down... crash-landed near the swamp, lots of armed men around us, we're surrounded..."

Maria begged with a hint of tears, "Can you come over and help us?"

Song Heping's gaze swept over the map.

At the moment, they were about 30 kilometers east of Kodok Town.

And Doro's location is less than 20 kilometers from them, not too far.

Maria had just flown with her father Nicholas by helicopter. If they were returning, they should have flown north, and once they got into Northern Sudan, they were considered safe.

It seems they were shot down near Doro.

Who shot them down?

He quickly asked, "Do you know which force the armed men besieging you belong to?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything... My dad's injured, many other mercenaries are dead. We're trapped in a forest, can't hold on much longer... Song, for now, as your employer, can you come save us?"

Song Heping looked at his watch, then advised, "Hold on for 20 minutes; we're heading over now, currently less than 20 kilometers from you. Remember, stay alive."

"Okay, hurry up!"

After hanging up, Ferrari teased, "A damsel in distress, the hero's off to save the beauty?"

Song Heping retorted, "Ferrari, are you even jealous of a woman? Yes, we are heading to Doro to rescue them, for two simple reasons. First, we took their thirty-five hundred thousand US dollars, which is no small amount. Secondly, guess who's most likely besieging them?"

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Damar's men!"

In the end, it was Ferrari who first blurted out the answer.

"Exactly."

Song Heping immediately contacted all vehicles on the channel.

"Turn around and head north to Doro Town immediately."

After issuing the order, Song Heping's gaze returned to the map.

"Maria just said they were shot down in the swamp zone and trapped in a forest. South of Doro Town is the swamp zone, which means they are here."

After speaking, he pointed on the map.

"And there are only a few forests here, the most likely being here, because it's vast. If I were shot down, I would also flee into this forest; the other forests are too small."

Saying this, he poked the map again.

"Later, we'll have two vehicles approach the forest from south and north. Remember, stop as soon as you hear gunfire, get out and enter the attack position on foot. Hunter and Queen, establish sniper positions from different directions, south and north. Ferrari and Henry, guard the cars and be ready to use the vehicular weapons to engage the enemy. Jiang Feng, take Collins and Klein with a team to enter the combat zone from the north, I'll take Antonov and Disaster Star to enter from the south. White Bear, provide fire support and set up a machine gun position on the south side. Understood?"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

Colonel Damar was in high spirits.

Charles couldn't be reached.

He wasn't worried at all.

Maybe he's dead.

He had just received news saying there was a fierce battle at the hospital in Kodok Town, and many people died, including some with suspicious identities, holding UN accreditations, but the medical staff on site said they didn't look like UN Peacekeeping Forces personnel.

Damar wasn't stupid.

He guessed it was Charles and his crew.

Dead? Good!

Let's see how arrogant you are now!

He despised Charles' arrogance.

If he had taken his own troops when intercepting Song Heping initially, it would have been foolproof.

But they insisted on acting alone.

From the first contact with Charles, Damar had sensed the deep contempt from the other party.

This former officer from the British Special Forces didn't regard these local warlords at all, even somewhat disdainful.

Deliberately sending his own troops to the north was just to keep them from getting in the way.

He had already seen through such little tricks.

Ha ha, see how that turned out?

Completely gone now?

Damar was even a little gloating.

He was not worried that Charles' death would affect his relationship with the "Satan" legion and the big shots behind it.

After all, he had followed orders, and the responsibility didn't lie with him.

Instead, after this incident, those arrogant guys will pay more attention to him.

This would benefit his future rise to power, and his requested conditions would be met faster.

At the moment, he needed to deal with the mercenaries trapped in the forest and that doctor.

Shooting down the helicopter was unintentional; after all, this was a combat zone, and the UN helicopter shouldn't have come here; they couldn't get involved in the conflict between the two sides — Damar understood these rules.

Shooting down their helicopter would make the UN more cautious.

As for sanctions, should he fear their UN sanctions as a local warlord?

However, after shooting down the helicopter, he realized something was wrong.

Obviously, those weren't UN people on the helicopter; they were a group of unidentified mercenaries, seemingly protecting someone.

After some observation, he identified Maria among the escaping crowd.

He knew of this female doctor.

Previously, she was thought to be working in Koma Village. His men had already engaged in a skirmish with the villagers and the Chinese man with the surname Song.

Song wasn't present now. Capturing this woman could earn him merit with the "Satan" legion and the big shots behind them and satisfy himself...

Thinking of Maria's pretty face, Damar's lips curled into a lewd smile.

BOOM—

Suddenly, a fireball erupted approximately three hundred meters to Damar's right.

"What happened?!"

Damar was stunned for two seconds before reacting; it was his mortar position!

"Did that idiot load the shell backward?! Go check what happened!"

Damar understood the combat effectiveness of these ragtag subordinates.

Loading the mortar shell upside down causing it to explode in the chamber or not firing it out, and then dropping the shell while trying to remove it when it hadn't fired, triggering an explosion was nothing new.

"Those damn fools!"

He cursed furiously, gritting his teeth.

Before he could finish speaking, another violent explosion followed.

BOOM—

An identical fireball erupted at the same location.

"Huh?"

Colonel Damar frowned.

This wasn't like an internal shell explosion or an accident.

"Colonel! We're under attack!"

A call came through the radio from his subordinates.

"Our mortar position has been destroyed by them!"
