Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Reunion
Karman instinctively lay down on the ground and then turned his head to warn Joe Ga's direction.
Joe Ga subconsciously flopped to the ground, but after waiting a few seconds, he realized that the bullets didn't seem to be coming his way.
When the sound of the heavy machine gun ceased, Joe Ga cautiously lifted his head and glanced in the direction of the camp, only to find that the air was still filled with the lingering smoke of gunpowder, with no other signs of movement.
"Boss, someone with a heavy machine gun killed all the remaining people."
Hearing Antar's prompt, Joe Ga let out a sigh of relief, then pulled out his phone and called Dorian. The moment the connection was made, he said loudly, "Dorian, is that you?"
Dorian on the other end of the phone also let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's me. How many of you came?"
"The artillery shelling killed 5 people, I just took out a perimeter sentry and then killed the remaining 3 members of Sea Hound. There should be eleven left. How many did you kill?"
Joe Ga recalled for a moment, one sentry, then he and Karman had killed 4 guys trying to escape; after that, they encountered a 9-man crossfire.
They killed six of the enemy, and Dorian killed the remaining three with the heavy machine gun.
Knowing that all the opponents were dead, Joe Ga whistled and said with a laugh, "If I remember correctly, there should only be you left out of the 21 people at the camp."
The stunned Dorian on the other end of the line then said incredulously, "All dead? Just how many people did you bring?"
Joe Ga stood up from his hiding spot and glanced at Karman, who was slowly slipping into the woods for a flanking maneuver. He laughed and said, "We came with two people."
"That's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. Wait for me, I'm coming over now."
"No, the scene at the camp isn't too pretty, it's better I come find you. Oh, shit, Dragon Gecko, move the knife away, we're on the same side..."

"Get your hand off the machine gun or I'll chop it off."
"OK, OK, ......"
Joe Ga heard Dorian spew a string of curses in Italian and, with a smiling squint, hung up the phone and walked toward the direction of the camp.
The battle proceeded swiftly and the intensity wasn't particularly high.
The most dangerous part was just those few minutes of face-off!
Karman set the pace for the attack, and Joe Ga intuitively coordinated with the old timer to execute a high-level encounter.
Although Karman didn't kill as many people as Joe Ga, he was the most important one!
The old guy didn't talk theory, but he dictated the rhythm of the attack with his actions, teaching Joe Ga how to fight this kind of battle, and which enemies were priority targets.
Of course, Joe Ga didn't disappoint Karman. His marksmanship was unbelievably good, and taking out that flanking enemy was the key to the entire battle.
As for Karman later exposing himself to suppress the enemies at eleven o'clock while drawing the attention of those at one o'clock, this move wasn't as dangerous as Joe Ga had imagined.
The two parties were about 60 meters apart, with trees in between; not everyone was a sharpshooter like Joe Ga, and it wasn't easy for those people to hit Karman. If Joe Ga missed, Karman could simply hit the deck and quickly move out of the enemies' line of fire within a few seconds.
However, Joe Ga had to admit that old man Karman really had guts.
Being experienced was not enough to explain everything; the old man had tremendous trust in Joe Ga's marksmanship, and it seemed like he knew just how much pressure Joe Ga could handle.
From the moment Joe Ga shot and killed that flanking enemy, Karman switched roles, handing over the main attack duties to Joe Ga and becoming the bait and protector himself.
In terms of kill count, Joe Ga certainly had more than Karman, but sometimes the value of a soldier cannot simply be measured by the number of casualties inflicted.
Entering the camp along the direction of the dead bodies, Joe Ga couldn't help but sneeze a few times due to discomfort, then he looked at Dorian not far away and said with a smile, "What's that smell? Are the mortar shells you used expired?"
Dorian realized that Karman had lowered his gun barrel after Joe Ga's arrival. He wiped the black ash off his face and, while walking toward Joe Ga, said, "Let's talk upwind. The explosion just now blew up a tear gas grenade, and it sure doesn't smell good."
As he reached the upwind position, Dorian paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "There are really only two of you? Where's Devil Bird?"
Joe Ga followed Dorian out of the camp, then pointed in the direction of the mountaintop and said, "If you dare climb up there and flip your middle finger, you'll find out where Devil Bird is."
Dorian glanced at Karman nearby and curiously asked, "Just the two of you took out 11 men? How on earth did you do it?"
Joe Ga found a relatively clean rock to sit on and said with a smile, "Don't talk about us. You alone took out 9 men. Apart from the last three killed by the machine gun, how did the other six die?"
Dorian pointed to the center of the camp and said, "I made a timed explosive device. The blast killed five mortar operators outright, and then, in the chaos that followed the explosion, I took out a sentry on the perimeter.
You know, I'm professional!"
Joe Ga looked at Dorian's somewhat proud expression, shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "Leather Head is certainly professional, but are you sure you want to roll with me from now on?"
Dorian took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Joe Ga, then lit one for himself and took a hard drag before saying, "The Mori Family wants me to be buried alongside their two heirs. If I die, my parents and sister are done for."
Speaking earnestly, Dorian looked at Joe Ga and said, "Hu Lang, you're a good person. If you can take out the Mori Family, of course, I'm willing to work for you. Otherwise, talking more about it now is pointless."
Joe Ga understood what Dorian meant; as long as the Mori Family existed and someone remembered him, he would never live in peace.
Talking about 'work' was premature. They wouldn't have good days ahead until all members of the Mori Family were eliminated.
Joe Ga sniffed the cigarette under his nose and then nodded seriously, saying, "It seems the Mori Family holds a grudge. Do I have any other choice?"
After saying this, Joe Ga waved to the sky and watched as a drone camouflaged in sky blue flew toward the quarry. He then said to Dorian, "But for now, our top priority is to take out the Mori Family in South SD first, and of course, that British Broker who betrayed me.
Do you know where they are?"
Upon hearing this, Dorian nodded and said, "Of course, they're currently in Kwaqjok Town to the north of Wau.
But that's a Cardian town. It's not realistic to charge in and kill them all. It's best to take advantage of the night cover and sneak in to wipe them out before they realize it.
The Sea Hound guys have night vision goggles; the Mori Family only has 15 people there. We have a chance."
