King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

```

The fighter jets above had expended all their ammunition, bombarding the entire area around Boss Joe.

After roughly confirming safety, two Griffin-1s arrived to take over, ensuring that air deterrence was always present above the boss's head.

'Cobra' informed Joe Ga of the crash incident on the base perimeter, along with the news that the Predator had been shot down...

At this moment, Joe Ga realized the intelligence from CICA was inaccurate, and he had encountered 'Arctic Fox' again.

Only this time 'Arctic Fox' wasn't coming for him but for the people of Delta Force.

After pondering with a gloomy face for a while, Joe Ga stood up, tossed the Barrett into the vehicle, and then picked up his own HK416. He turned to Dorian and said, "Let's go take a look..."

As he spoke, Joe Ga glanced at the injured 'Comet' and said to the Ferryman's deputy team leader 'Hatchet,' "Ferryman, stay back and check the vehicle to see if it's still usable. Jazz Squad follows me..."

After finishing speaking, Joe Ga, while walking through the gaps between the vehicles, said to Dorian beside him, "It should be 'Arctic Fox.' Looks like we've run into some troublesome enemies."

Dorian, knowing who the enemy was, became less afraid. He shook his head and said, "Boss, so what if it's 'Arctic Fox'?

The only disadvantage for us is that we can't pinpoint their location.

In fact, they can't pinpoint ours either because I never report our itinerary to the mercenaries' alliance.

We're just unlucky this time..."

As he spoke, Dorian glanced at the areas ravaged by the bombs and shook his head, "We didn't find any bodies in Mosul; this time there should be some gain.

I don't believe these guys are all 'invisible.' Once we know their identities and what they look like, Thompson will be able to root them out."

After listening, Joe Ga nodded and then shook his head, saying, "These people are very cautious. Using those definitely contaminated human tissues for genetic comparison is not as good as letting Thompson go after 'Iblis,' that guy definitely has a file in the Pentagon."

As he spoke, Joe Ga patted the somewhat nervous Dorian on the arm, laughing, "I'm a bit nervous, but I like this feeling. Just the other day, I was feeling like nothing was exciting anymore..."

Dorian looked at Joe Ga, who was obviously not lying, and sighed helplessly, "Boss, I'm nervous too, but I don't like this feeling..."

Joe Ga laughed, then arrived at the place where Delta Force had been ambushed, only to see 'Medic Officer Bird' forcefully pushing a protruding bone back into 'Bottle Cap's' torn calf.

Then he quickly wrapped it up with an inflatable immobilizer, blew air to complete the fixation, and shoved a broad-spectrum antibiotic into 'Bottle Cap's' mouth.

The scene was a disaster. Six from Delta Force, plus two killed near Joe Ga's group, made for a total of four dead and two seriously injured.

'Bottle Cap's' leg looked in bad shape, but at least he was still conscious. 'Clock' appeared to have no obvious injuries, but was already unconscious.

Beyond Delta Force, there were eight men and women in mercenary outfits strewn around, with five dead and the other three in a just passable condition, still alive...

Joe Ga saw the CIA's Earl Lavey holding a Glock 17 in front of the gap between three vehicles, where a red-haired white pregnant woman and two children were.

Joe Ga was stunned by the woman's complexion; he never would have guessed that the terrorist who had the American elite so tense had married a white woman.

Looking at Earl Lavey, who was in terribly bad shape, Joe Ga shook his head and said, "Doesn't the CIA look so good?

You wasted a plane but still got chased down.

Someone betrayed you..."

Seeing Joe Ga appear, Earl Lavey collapsed on the ground like a broken man, then raised his blood-soaked left hand, shaking his fingers that were barely hanging by flesh, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know, it was a top-secret operation, with definitely no more than five people knowing our moves.

I don't think there are traitors among these people..."

Pointing to the seriously injured Delta Force and the mercenaries, Earl spoke bitterly, "They don't seem like the ones who betrayed us, right?"

Joe Ga promptly shook his head in response, "It's not us being betrayed, but you. It's got nothing to do with me.

But to speak frankly, blowing up your own plane to frame ISIS, that was kind of foolish."

On hearing this, Earl said incredulously, "The plane was shot down?"

"Not just one airliner, CACI also lost two Black Hawks, and MPRI lost a Predator."

As he spoke, Joe Ga watched Earl's face turn deathly pale; he shook his head and said, "This feint worked rather well..."

"It wasn't us..."

Suddenly seemed to realize something, Earl handed his hand over to 'Medic Officer Bird,' who had finally freed his hands, refused the morphine, and then looked at Joe Ga, saying, "We had no plan to bomb a civilian plane, the role of that aircraft was to divert ISIS's attention.

Our original plan was..."

Joe Ga hastily interrupted, "Don't tell me, otherwise, if you guys die, I might get implicated..."

```

As he spoke, Joe Ga continued forward and checked the scene—the opposing lane was mercilessly ravaged by four fighter jets, and the sight was rather unbearable.

The members of Rabbit Squad were holding up fairly well, but the girl Dandelion kept sniffling, rolling her throat in a swallowing motion, betraying her current state of mind.

The horrific deaths of the enemy proved to be too much for the girl Dandelion.

Being shot to death is truly a different sight from being blasted to death by aircraft cannons!

Joe Ga couldn't tell what the others were feeling, but they definitely weren't happy.

Joe Ga had no intention of comforting them; they were there to witness this sort of thing as their jobs required them to get used to such situations...

He patted Chameleon on the shoulder, felt how tense the guy was, and said with a smile, "Lend a hand, let's move these poor bastards a bit further up. Our armored vehicle should be able to get around them soon...

We need to hurry back to base. I have a feeling that if I don't leave now, more trouble will surely come knocking."

As Joe Ga was speaking, the pilots overhead suddenly sent a message...

"Boss, there's a convoy coming from the direction of the base, about 3 kilometers from you. They didn't communicate their movement this time; do you want me to stop them?"

Joe Ga decisively said, "Warning shots..."

"YES SIR!"

Following the pilot's acknowledgment, one of the two Griffins circling above adjusted its heading towards the north of the highway and swooped down, releasing a string of aerial bombs in front of the oncoming convoy...

After the massive explosion, the charging convoy immediately ground to a halt.

Then, Joe Ga received a call from Richie Barton, the head of CACI, who sounded utterly exasperated over the phone, "Hu Lang, we're on the same side!"

Joe Ga couldn't care less about the guy; he scoffed, "Certainly, the same 'own side' that sold out Earl Lavey.

I now have doubts about CACI's intelligence capabilities and even question your stance.

Your Black Hawks were supposed to fulfill the Iraq contract, and it was already made clear that these Black Hawks would be joint logistics supplies for the coalition forces, with P·B tasked to assign and utilize them.

Now, not only did you deploy the Black Hawks without any prior communication, but you also sent out your convoy without notifying us.

Mr. Barton, if I were still in a combat situation, I wouldn't hesitate to have the Griffins attack you."

The sudden outburst from Joe Ga didn't scare Richie Barton, the old fox...

The old man chuckled bitterly, "Hu Lang, you should understand the spot I'm in.

Don't worry, I will have four more Black Hawks sent to Baghdad Base, and I guarantee that from now on, all our operations will be communicated to you..."

Joe Ga replied with a cold laugh, "It's not to me you should report, but to the coalition command.

You've been using everyone's resources for your own ends, and that's unacceptable!"

Richie Barton swallowed the phrase 'nobody has any objections', realizing that Joe had raised one.

If a clear explanation couldn't be provided this time, CACI would have a hard time in Iraq from here on out...

"Hu Lang, what do you want?"

Without hesitation, Joe Ga said, "I want Arctic Fox's information. There's a guy among them called Iblis; you should be able to find him.

You promised to keep an eye on Arctic Fox, but clearly, you didn't manage.

I've damn well bumped into them twice, but I'm not satisfied with the outcomes..."

Richie Barton paused, then said with annoyance, "Hu Lang, CACI is an intelligence agency, but we're not omniscient. However, I'll do my best this time.

Arctic Fox has caused us tremendous losses and threatened the national security of America—they're finished..."

In a tone of urgency, Richie Barton pleaded, "Hu Lang, let us through, the people there are important!"

It was only then that Joe Ga nodded in satisfaction. CACI must be desperate, having just lost two Black Hawks, and now preparing to add four more.

It had been agreed that all military weapons and vehicles delivered to Iraq were to be maintained and allocated by P·B, and ultimately be accounted for as 'combat losses', meaning that ownership would be transferred to P·B for disposition.

This guy acting recklessly with 'P·B's stuff' and excluding P·B was simply inappropriate...

After notifying Griffin to let the convoy through, Joe Ga watched as dozens of fully armed mercenaries swarmed over. He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, we're no longer needed here...

We'll head out on our own, change clothes at the base and then get on the plane..."
