"Stop the car!"
A cold order suddenly came from the walkie-talkies on the armored vehicles.
Upon receiving the order, the armored vehicles immediately stopped, and the side door of the white luxury car that had been driving at the back of the convoy suddenly opened. A tall and slender figure with a cold face wearing a mighty and handsome gray priest uniform slowly walked out of the car.
"Priest Peston, I'll leave this to you."
After Chen Mo finished speaking to John Peston in the car and saw him nod, he directly closed the door and rushed in the direction of the target alone.
This place was still several kilometers away from where the militants were hiding according to the intelligence, but considering that they had discovered the whereabouts of the clearance team in advance in the last operation and escaped in time, it showed that this group of bandits was very vigilant and should have set up hidden sentries on the periphery.
Therefore, Chen Mo proposed that he should go first and sneak into their security circle, kill all the hidden sentries, and then let the main force push in and eliminate this group of militants in one fell swoop.
In view of Chen Mo's outstanding performance during this period of time, John Peston did not raise any objections.
Chen Mo's strength could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds during this period of battle. Not only was the strength of Gun Kungfu close to that of a senior priest, but even his ability to command on the spot was very impressive.
In the previous battles, John Peston did not care about command at all and had always relied on his powerful force to crush the enemy. In his view, the role of the soldiers was more to eliminate the stragglers and search for contraband. The real battle still depended on the priests.
Although Chen Mo had always been in the lead and acted as the main force to carry out the clearance, he was very good at commanding the soldiers to surround, divide, and suppress. This made the battle not as messy as before, but more orderly.
Under his command, the soldiers played a greater role in assisting, which greatly improved the efficiency of the clearance team's combat and the number of enemies killed. The casualty rate and the number of militants who escaped were greatly reduced. In this regard, even John Peston himself was ashamed of his inferiority.
However, Chen Mo had been promoted from the military, and through the systematic learning of Gun Kungfu, his overall control of the battlefield had greatly increased, so it was reasonable for his commanding ability to become more outstanding. John Peston only sighed at Chen Mo's growth and outstanding talent, and didn't have any other thoughts.
In fact, the reason why Chen Mo was working so hard was because he wanted these soldiers to help him gather all the militants together so that he could fight to his heart's content and hone his gun-fighting skills.
After ordering the troops to stand by, Chen Mo quickly rushed toward the target's location. At the same time, he released his senses and scanned the ruins and buildings in front of him. His ears picked up the subtle sounds coming from all directions. As long as someone was hiding nearby, they would definitely not escape Chen Mo's senses.
Although Chen Mo did not run at full speed and had to pay attention to his surroundings at all times, his speed was still not slow. After a few minutes, he was already two to three kilometers away from the target.
Chen Mo, who was running, suddenly dodged to the side and hid in an abandoned building beside him.
Standing in the shadow of the building, Chen Mo raised his head and looked at the top of a half-collapsed building a few hundred meters away.
A figure with only half of his head exposed clearly appeared in Chen Mo's sight. This should be the hidden sentry sent by the militants. If it weren't for Chen Mo's sharp eyesight, it would have been really difficult for him to discover this half-severed head in the complicated and messy ruins.
If the clearance team came over directly, they might be able to escape in advance like the last time.
After discovering the location of the hidden sentry and confirming that there was no second one nearby, Chen Mo avoided the other party's sight and quickly approached the half-collapsed building.
The building, which was originally an office building, had half of it collapsed due to a bomb or missile. The entire narrow and long building only had half of its roof left. The other half had collapsed and piled up into an irregular slope of nearly sixty degrees. Broken concrete, broken steel bars, and various debris in the building piled up together, making the slope extremely rugged and difficult to climb.
In order to ascend to the remaining half of the roof, the only way was through the internal staircase. However, the iron door that connected to the staircase downstairs had been locked by someone with an iron lock. It was simply impossible to silently ascend.
The hidden sentry who was sent to keep watch was sitting comfortably on a stool. His body was lying on the one-meter high wall on the roof of the building, and only half of his head was sticking his eyes upward.
Their leader had been encircled by the Church before and was lucky enough to escape. Since then, he had been especially cautious. Not only did he often lead them around the Nisus District, but he also constantly changed their hiding place. Every time they set up camp, he would arrange a few hidden sentry posts two kilometers away from the perimeter to prevent the Church's clearance team from attacking.
Relying on this cautiousness, they had managed to escape several encirclements. Their organization had grown bigger and bigger. Now, the entire organization had close to a hundred people. They could be considered the strongest force in the Nisus District.
Not long ago, after escaping from the Church's encirclement, their leader simply brought them to the edge of the Nisus District. They planned to stay away from Libya City and lie low for a while.
However, even though they were far away from the Church's area of activity, they did not let down their guard. The sentry posts were still arranged as usual.
As an experienced sentry, Murray chose a wide, half-collapsed building that only had one path to the roof. He carefully locked the only path to ensure that no one could sneak up behind him without alerting him.
Therefore, Murray was not worried about the safety of the people behind him. All his attention was on the road in the distance.
Murray knew that they had relied on caution to survive until now, so he would not let down his guard just because they were hiding at the border of Nisus.
Just as Murray was concentrating on monitoring the path, he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head. Accompanied by a piercing pain on his skin, a bone-piercing chill traveled from the back of his neck to his brain. The hair on his back instantly stood on end. A layer of fine sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead and quickly gathered into droplets that rolled down his forehead.
However, he did not dare to move!
