The drug lord's estate was luxurious and grand, filled with rare tropical plants, lush and green.
But hidden within this beautiful scenery are countless elite soldiers, fully armed and dressed in tactical gear.
The entire fleet consisted of HK416 assault rifles, each equipped with a thermal imaging scope, allowing them to easily spot targets through the dense jungle.
Anyone who tries to imitate the stealth and decapitation techniques seen in movies will only become a laughingstock.
"There are also people from the 10th Mountain Division."
The visiting senior Foreign Intelligence Bureau agent was named "Bill." His hair was already gray, but his eyes were still sharp.
He saw a tattoo on the arm of one of the guards—an "X" made up of two M5 bayonet.
This is the marking of the "10th Mountain Division," one of the main forces of the Star Alliance Country. It is likely that the soldiers were recruited by drug lords after their retirement.
The entire Cartel guards is composed of such elite soldiers.
The manor owner returned shortly afterward.
As soon as Benjamin got out of the car, the entire guards of the manor snapped to attention and saluted in unison, which was quite impressive.
Bill stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Old man, you have a very loyal army."
Benjamin hugged the other person and said humbly:
"A million-dollar annual salary is enough to buy a bit of loyalty. Come and try my cigar."
The two older men entered the cigar room together, seemingly intimate.
Benjamin smiled broadly, but his mind was in turmoil.
Compared to the other person, I am as pure as a newborn baby!
After taking his seat, Bill said with a look of nostalgia:
"Do you remember the first time you came to see me? You were carrying a suitcase... I thought it was full of money."
Benjamin laughed and said, "If it's about money, I'm already a dead man."
"That's right." Bill didn't hide it.
"Back then I was young, I needed power, I needed promotions. If you really had a suitcase full of money, I would have arrested you without hesitation. But you're a smart man... your suitcase contains the Steel Alliance's military deployment."
Back then, the two most powerful countries on Blue Star were vying for supremacy in Latin America.
Compared to his peers who only knew how to bribe, Benjamin seized the opportunity to demonstrate his value.
He helped the Foreign Intelligence Bureau gather intelligence, transport weapons, and kill opponents...
He turned this land into the backyard of the Star Alliance Country, thereby gaining the support of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and building his own drug empire.
This was a remarkable feat Benjamin accomplished in his youth, and he still speaks of it with considerable pride.
But with the collapse of the Steel Alliance, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau no longer needed lackeys; it only wanted to raise pigs.
At that moment, Bill smiled and said:
"Old friend, you're a smart man. I hope you can maintain this rare quality. By the way, next month's shipments need to triple."
"Three times! This is not what was agreed upon!"
Benjamin had been keeping his head down and looking kind, suddenly glared at his eyes and transformed into a startled wolf, as if he were about to tear the visitor to pieces at any moment!
Facing the enraged drug lord, Bill remained unfazed, calmly removing his sunglasses and saying:
"Hey, old man, you're a smart guy, you know what to do."
Admittedly, this drug lord was a figure comparable to a king.
But if they don't obey, it's just a matter of a drone firing a missile.
Benjamin was well aware of this; what he feared was not Bill, but the powerful and unscrupulous nation standing behind him.
The drug lord quickly composed himself, lowering his head and saying kindly, "Three times, no problem."
"That's right, that's a win-win situation."
Bill patted the drug lord on the shoulder, pleased with the man's sensibility.
The two sides reached an agreement in a pleasant manner, and Bill was ready to try the cigar that cost $1,000.
But just then, the one-eyed man, Simon, approached and said in a deep voice:
"The Department of Defense's satellite phone has fallen into enemy hands, and the estate has been exposed."
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Benjamin nodded casually, about to move on.
But Bill, having gotten the better deal, wanted to play the innocent, so he took out his phone, glanced at it, and said:
"Satellite aerial photography shows that only one small civilian helicopter is flying this way; perhaps you can save your energy."
Ximeng quickly made a few phone calls, and then said:
"The sentry has spotted a small helicopter and is preparing to shoot it down."
"Shoot it down."
Benjamin nodded, then lit a cigar with Bill.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Drug lords' defense is not simply about having their guards surround them.
20 kilometers away from the manor, sentry posts have been set up on high ground to monitor the surrounding area at all times.
Lu Li's helicopter was spotted by the sentries as soon as it arrived.
The drug lord's guards stationed here did not hesitate to pick up the Stinger man-portable air defense system and fire a shot on the spot!
The two sides were 2 kilometers apart when a missile came flying towards them with a powerful exhaust plume, expected to hit them in 4 seconds.
With such a commotion, Lu Li naturally saw it.
In the heat of the moment, he fixed his gaze on the incoming missile, his surging emotions coalescing into a hammer that slammed down upon it!
Small man-portable missiles are no match for this; with a deafening roar, they exploded in mid-air, leaving only wisps of black smoke to dissipate.
The drug lord's guards at the sentry post were puzzled: why did the missile detonate prematurely?
They were just about to load their second shot when, to their dismay, the "Mountain Breaker Sword" had already fired in response to its master's command!
At a distance of 2 kilometers, without the blessing of its master's mind, the flying sword's speed is only 200 meters per second, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
With a few popping sounds, the four enemies in the sentry post were sliced apart by the flying sword, just like tomatoes.
"We definitely found the right place."
The enemy's equipment looked familiar; it was the same Cartel guards he had seen on the day his father died.
The manor was not far ahead. With a thought, Lu Li two puppets jump directly from the helicopter.
With a dull thud, A'da and Number 0 crashed to the ground, creating a shallow crater, before leaping out and charging towards the manor.
At the same time, the six flying swords began to eliminate the enemy.
The screams in the jungle grew louder and louder. Lu Li, not wanting to let these souls go, ordered the Kunlun Mirror to be deployed as well.
The magical artifact only needs to pass within 20 meters of the corpse to capture its soul.
As one blue light spot after another was absorbed into the mirror's surface, the Kunlun Mirror activated [Soul Snatch] countless times in a very short period of time.
Lu Li pondered that he should learn this skill himself someday...
Just then, a surprise happened!
After Number 0 and A'da wiped out a reinforcement team, their dark blue pupils suddenly lit up, and they pulled out the Divine Soul and absorbed it into their eyes!
"Puppet Magic Tool can Soul Extraction!"
This special magical artifact, born from and powered by the soul, immediately gave its master a big surprise!
Lu Li quickly used his mental connection to carefully sense...
The two puppets can not only Soul Extraction, but also store Divine Soul like the Kunlun Mirror!
In this way, we can "replenish as we fight," turning ourselves into a perpetual motion machine on the battlefield!
"As expected, it's completely different after it transforms into a magical artifact."
"Next, let's cause a huge disturbance and test the effectiveness of supernatural powers against the army."
With a thought, Lu Li ordered his creations to charge towards the area with the most people!
