Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 750 No way forward
At nine o'clock in the evening, in a forest near Koma Village.

Song Heping lifted the blanket covering his body and wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead.

I have to say that it is really hard to cover yourself with a blanket and look at a map for more than ten minutes in this kind of weather.

"how?!"

"No."

Song Heping took the map, folded it, and put it in his pocket.

This map was previously found in the militants' car.

It marks the direction and location of the South Sudan Armed Forces' attack.

"Going north won't work. They're all rebels. We're too big a target. Once we're discovered, it'll be hard to shake them off."

"So what do we do now?" Maria asked anxiously. "I have to take them north. As long as we reach the buffer zone where the UN peacekeeping forces are deployed, they'll be safe."

"Safe? Did you know that even the peacekeeping forces are withdrawing and re-establishing a buffer zone? It's in a different location than the previous one. To reach the safe zone, you have to walk at least 80 kilometers north. At the current speed of these elderly, weak, and sick people, how many days do you think it will take?"

"We have a car..."

Maria couldn't understand why Song Heping said he wanted to "leave".

Obviously there is a car!
Song Heping was completely helpless against this girl, who had absolutely no military knowledge. He could only patiently ask, "Take a ride? Do you think the teacher is organizing an outing for the students? This convoy, carrying over 200 people, is marching through the war zone, along the highway through the entire front line of the South Sudanese rebels. Do you really think they are blind and can't see you? Or should you give everyone an invisibility cloak?"

Maria's pretty face flushed.

Yes.

Such a simple and easy to understand truth.

Why didn't I think of that?
"That……"

She blushed and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

"What should we do?" Song Heping said, "You are the employer, what do you say? If you say go north, I will take you north. If you are not afraid of death, what should I be afraid of?"

In fact, Song Heping didn't really let him make the decision.

I just thought this silly girl was cute, so I teased her.

As expected, Maria immediately gave in and almost begged, "You are a professional in military affairs, and I am a professional in treating patients. I will not interfere with your command. I will listen to whatever you say."

The last sentence made Song Heping feel very comfortable.

Ok……

Maria is a bit silly.

But he is really obedient!
"Go southeast, to Ethiopia."

Song Heping said: "Right now, the safest way is to go that way."

"Go to Ethiopia?" Maria was slightly startled. "I'm going to discuss it with the village chief."

"Negotiate?" Song Heping couldn't help but ridicule her again: "It's already this late, and we're still negotiating when the situation is urgent? Time is more valuable than gold now. You just need to tell them that we are going to the southeast now, but the road only goes for more than ten kilometers. After that, we will enter the jungle area, and then walk about sixty kilometers to enter Ethiopia. There is no need to negotiate. If you are willing to go, follow us. If you don't want to go, stay and cross the northern front by yourself. If they have the guts, I will give them guns and let them go on their own."

Maria looked a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Song Heping couldn't bear it any longer, and his tone was filled with anger: "What are you still hesitating about?! Do you really think they are your parents? If it weren't for you, they would all be dead now! You don't owe them anything, so why are you being so humble?"

"This is not servile."

Maria argued: "It's just respect."

"You're respected only if you're alive. If you're dead, everything's gone." Song Heping was a bit disappointed. "How dare someone like you come to Africa? You're already blessed by your God to be alive today. Hurry!"

Song Heping looked at his watch and said, "I'll give you one minute to tell them my plan. Head southeast to Ethiopia. If you want to follow me, you can. If you don't want to, you can stay here and become fertilizer!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and told Jiang Feng and the others, "Get ready immediately. We'll set off in a minute."

Then he took out his satellite phone and called Ferrari. "Ferrari, the situation has changed. When you arrive in Ethiopia, cross the border and head towards Koma Village. You can check the location on the map. I will cross the Machar Swamp and enter Ethiopia from the jungle over there. I'm not sure of the exact location right now. Keep in touch and I'll let you know where I cross the border."

"Okay, don't worry. Henry has found some acquaintances in the military here. We gave this guy a lot of money, and he is willing to send people to meet you at the border. We will cross the border to support you and cross the border with you."

"Things are much more complicated than you think." Song Heping said, "I have a lot of people here..."

"Many people?" Ferrari thought he was talking about Maria and some of her close friends. "How many more?"

"More than two hundred..."

Song Heping glanced in the direction of the villagers.

At this time, Maria was chatting with their village chief.

The villagers gathered around Maria, and some of them seemed to question the decision.

"What!?"

Ferrari screamed.

"Are you crazy?! You took over two hundred people with you?! They're villagers, right?! It's going to be hard to get away like that!"

"I know, but I received $35 million, didn't I?"

Song Heping was also looking for excuses.

"Bullshit! You're short of that 35 million!? Song, tell me the truth, are you attracted to that female doctor? I've found her information, she's a beauty! But let me tell you, this girl has a complicated background. Her father is Nicholas, the boss of an Eastern European underground mafia. He controlled drug trafficking, human trafficking, casinos, and other industries in Eastern Europe for many years. He was prosecuted and charged ten years ago. After being imprisoned for two years, the judge and senior government officials who accused him all stepped down due to the scandal, and he was eventually acquitted. Just imagine how powerful he is in Eastern Europe."

"What does that have to do with me?" Song Heping said, "I'm just escorting his daughter. Just now, this old guy threatened me on the phone, saying that if anything happens to Maria, he will hunt me down to the ends of the earth."

At this point, he couldn't help laughing.

It's really funny.

It seems like everyone wants to hunt him down.

And all the people he came into contact with were drug lords, rebel leaders, human traffickers, casino tycoons, etc...

You are obviously a good person, right?

Why is it so unpopular?
Ferrari also laughed out loud on the other end of the phone.

To be honest, if a person is not afraid of the joint efforts of Mossad and CIA to hunt him down, why would he be afraid of a hunting order from an underground tycoon in Eastern Europe?
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I won't waste any more time nagging you. Remember, organize people to rush to the border and prepare immediately. We just killed a dozen militants on the northbound highway, and I think they've been alerted. If I'm right, those rebels must be tracking us right now. This matter won't be resolved so easily."

"Okay, trust me and I'll take care of it. Just be careful and I'll come across the border to find you."

The two ended the call and Song Heping turned around to look.

Maria was still there explaining the decision to the group of villagers.

Anger suddenly surged up from the bottom of Song Heping's heart.

He dislikes people who hesitate at the critical moment of life and death the most.

So he strode up to the villagers and said loudly, "I am leaving now. Those who are willing to follow me can follow me. Those who are willing to stay, I will give you guns and food and let you stay."

After saying this, he glanced at all the villagers.

"Raise your hands if you want to stay so I can see!"

There was total silence.

The villagers had been very confident when dealing with Maria before, but at this moment they were all speechless.

It's been a long time and no one raised their hand.

Song Heping clapped his hands and said, "Excellent! Unanimously approved. Let's go to Ethiopia!"

Then he turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Maria couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the villagers who followed Song Heping obediently to get on the bus in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Song Heping's back, there was a little more admiration in his eyes.

I had been talking for a long time but still couldn't get something done, but this man solved it with just one sentence.

So manly!
