Mercenary's War

Chapter 2496 - 2472: Aurora Has Something for Me

Satan has done a lot, but there’s no way for Satan to secretly finish everything for the Solar System Company, nor is it necessary.The Solar System Company now has its own employees. If Satan solves all threats, what’s the point of paying the mercenaries of the Solar System Company high salaries?

Attacking the Three-leaf Jungle, this competitor, is just a side task. The situation is now open, and it’s best for the Solar System Company to stand out from many competitors using its own strength.

If Satan were to secretly eliminate all competitors... that would be great, but Satan doesn’t have such strong power and can’t get this done without any casualties.

Actually, Satan has already suffered a lot of losses on the Northwest Front in Yemen. The artillery has almost been completely wiped out, Liang Dong was severely injured and almost died. Compared to the victory achieved, the cost seems small, but actually, it’s not. For Gao Yang, the cost is a bit too high. If they continue to stay at the front, going head-to-head with a group of battle-hardened elite troops, just one failure and Satan is finished.

Satan is still too small to withstand big storms. Even if it wins numerous times head-to-head on the front line with Saudi Arabia, it’s far from crippling for them. However, just one failure for Satan, like a Saudi Arabia pilot casually dropping a cluster bomb that wiped out the artillery, and Satan could cease to exist.

But! The biggest reason Gao Yang decided to withdraw from the Northwest Front is actually because they now lack artillery.

With artillery support, fighting against the Three-leaf Jungle wouldn’t be like this. Just a call for artillery, regardless of whether it’s the Three-leaf Jungle or Four-leaf Clover, even with armed helicopter support, once the artillery goes through, they’ll all be damn wiped out. Now, Satan can only tuck its head and helplessly act.

So, the main goal of Gao Yang leaving is to quickly get the artillery back on track. If they have big guns and artillery again, they can completely kill their way back to the Northwest Front.

Leaving is not a simple matter; there are many things that need communication and coordination.

"We need to leave, to leave Yemen. It won’t be for too long, but there’s no set timetable. A few days, a month, a few months, it’s all possible."

Salim frowned tightly, then whispered to Gao Yang: "Is it good, or bad?"

Gao Yang was taken aback for a moment, then said: "There’s no distinction between good or bad, it’s just a simple... vacation."

Although it sounds unreliable, Gao Yang actually said a big truth. Unfortunately, others can’t think that way, so Salim cautiously said: "Do you need to return to the country... for a report?"

Gao Yang smiled and said: "You could say that, you can understand it that way."

Salim nodded, then he cautiously said: "Can you tell me what kind of evaluation might be given for our cooperation? Will our cooperation continue?"

Gao Yang patted Salim’s shoulder and smiled: "Don’t think too much about it. It’s really just a short leave. We’ll be back soon. If time is short, a week; if longer, at most a month. I think a month is enough to solve all problems."

Salim obviously let out a sigh of relief, then he said loudly: "That’s great, that’s really great."

Gao Yang pondered for a moment, then whispered: "After we leave, don’t disband the Dagger Assault Team. You can command them but don’t interfere too much. The tactics and techniques of the Dagger Assault Team are just starting to take shape. It’s best not to interfere, to avoid wasting all our previous efforts."

Salim whispered: "Don’t worry, I’ll keep the Dagger Assault Team in my hands and won’t give it to anyone. Although I’m not a commander in war, I can do that much and, unless particularly necessary, I won’t easily use the Dagger Assault Team. I’ll hand them over intact when you return."

Gao Yang nodded with a smile, glanced at his watch, and then apologized to Salim: "I have some things to handle, so I won’t be talking much, farewell."

Salim said urgently: "When are you leaving? Today?"

"We set off tonight."

Salim looked troubled and said: "You’re leaving too quickly. I had some gifts prepared. How about this, when you go to Sana’a, I’ll ask Abdullah to send you some small gifts for me. They’re not expensive, just some local Yemeni specialties. Please don’t refuse."

Gao Yang smiled and said: "I certainly won’t refuse, thank you, my brother."

After hugging Salim goodbye, Gao Yang returned to his room and said to the others waiting for him: "Everything is settled with Salim, everything went smoothly without any trouble. We’re setting off tonight at nine. This time without the delay of artillery, try to reach Sana’a before dawn tomorrow."

After saying this, Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "Not to waste everyone’s precious time, write a report of your holiday plans and submit it to Yake. Wherever you go, whatever you do, think it through and write it down. Any actions Yake deems risky are absolutely forbidden. This is just a short and irregular break, and now we’re at a very critical time with the possibility of regrouping at any time. Everyone must ensure smooth communication, that’s all."

But as everyone in Satan was cheerfully planning their own schedules, Gao Yang apologetically said: "Rebrov, you won’t have time to rest; you’ll have to come with me to do something."

Rebrov nodded and said: "Okay, boss."

No time to say more to others, Gao Yang let everyone leave, then picked up the phone and called Jack, whispering: "Buddy, it’s me. You need to help me buy a scope, just like the one Blade of Satan is using now. Then you also need to help me maintain the Blade of Satan."

Jack lazily said: "I have time, come and I’ll fix it for you. So, did you agree to help Alexander?"

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Alexander? What’s he want with me?"

Alexander is the boss of the Aurora Mercenary Corps, now focusing on managing his gun factory, having long since exited the mercenary circle. Gao Yang really couldn’t guess what Alexander would want with him.

Jack whispered: "I am currently busy with a piece of work, and I have a client waiting, so I won’t say more. You should just ask Alexander yourself. I’ll be here waiting for you, that’s it."

Gao Yang hesitantly hung up the phone, still not knowing what Alexander wanted with him.

Gao Yang does have Alexander’s contact information, and he was quite inclined to call Alexander to see what he wanted. But after hesitating, he temporarily gave up. In these times, there’s a lot of stuff waiting to be handled, and if Alexander has some tricky issue needing help, not knowing is not knowing. But once you do know, it would be harder to refuse. So, better to wait until leaving Yemen at least.
