Strongest Soldier King

Sarazi's posture was very humble, and anyone could see this move as an attempt to win people over, but no one exposed it. Luo Zheng gave Sarazi a bit more credit; this guy indeed had the aura of a powerful leader, ruthless and indifferent when necessary, yet willing to entrust his life to others to gain favor. Gai Wafu was somewhat moved as he took the gun, looked around, and threw it aside, saying, "Forget it, what's past is past. I'm not ungrateful. Guarding this mountain is tough, and we'll be annexed sooner or later. We might as well take a chance with you. With Huaxia Country's support, it's not like we have no chance to fight." He looked at Luo Zheng as he spoke.

Luo Zheng nodded understandingly and said firmly, "Don't worry, I mean what I say. I'll arrange for a batch of weapons to come over as soon as possible. During this period, I'll be with you. If you find that I'm not true to my word, just take me out. It shouldn't be hard for you, right?"

Gai Wafu wasn't confident about taking out Luo Zheng but didn't point out that Luo Zheng was actually showing a stance with his words. Gai Wafu wasn't foolish and chuckled bitterly, "You're joking. Would we really go through so much trouble just to assist him in reclaiming me? Tell me, is it to stop that team of Sam Country's Special Forces from heading over?"

"How do you know they are Sam Country's Special Forces?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise and doubt.

"Someone called me, a special agent from Sam Country. I had sought his support before, eager to get backing from Sam Country, but he wasn't very interested in us, though he didn't refuse either and maintained relations. This time he called, hoping I would stay neutral," Gai Wafu explained.

"So that's it. Dispatch Sarazi's men immediately, and also send people out to prevent those guys from sneaking over." Luo Zheng said promptly, his expression growing serious. It was indeed the Special Forces from Sam Country. It had been a mere speculation before, but now it was confirmed. Recalling the arrogance of these people, sneaking into the country to ambush the military convoy and killing so many people, Luo Zheng decided to teach them a good lesson.

Sarazi immediately had someone pass the order, and Gai Wafu also dispatched people to assist to prevent conflict. Since he had chosen to surrender, Gai Wafu was straightforward, his mind dwelling on Luo Zheng's promised assistance. He asked, "It's not impossible for us to stop them, but you know, Sam Country's Special Forces are tough to deal with. We have almost a thousand men, but it's not easy to take them on. The main issue is our poor weapons and insufficient ammunition."

"We'll discuss that later; I'll arrange it as soon as possible. Right now, the urgent task is to set up defense. Do you have a map of the area?" Luo Zheng said coldly. Having taken in this team meant cutting off Sam Country's Special Forces' retreat. Would they join forces with the previous armed warlord to attack here? It's always good to be prepared for anything.

"There's no map. The surrounding terrain is all in my head; what do you want to do?" Gai Wafu said.

"Then draw it out." Luo Zheng explained, "I'm worried that Sam Country's Special Forces might join forces with the military warlord ahead to attack, causing trouble for both you and me. Even if you stay neutral, we might not come for you, but you could still be swallowed by the warlord ahead."

Gai Wafu, not being foolish, immediately realized the seriousness of the issue and asked hurriedly, "Why?"

"The reason is simple. Sam Country's Special Forces entered that warlord's territory. Why would they help Sam Country? Do you really think a little bit of benefit can move their hearts? Don't be naïve. As a trade-off, they would definitely ask those Special Forces to come over and wipe out your basis, then annex your team. This is why I came looking for you, and even at the cost of force," Sarazi explained on the side.

"Tsk?" Gai Wafu's face turned solemn, contemplating deeply and finding it increasingly reasonable. His resentment towards Sarazi diminished significantly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This is something that hasn't happened yet, all based on speculation. Though it makes sense, it can't be counted as concrete. However, since I've already surrendered, I won't waver. You don't need to test or threaten me."

"Then let's wait and see," Sarazi said with a cold smile on his face, his eyes flickering, unsure of what he was thinking.

At this moment, a person rushed over with a walkie-talkie in hand, running to Gai Wafu and handing it over. Gai Wafu, surprised, took it and said, "It's me, what's up?" speaking in the local dialect.

Luo Zheng couldn't understand, so he looked at Sarazi. Sarazi, standing nearby, whispered a translation. It turned out that the special agent from Sam Country who kept in touch with Gai Wafu had arrived at the mountain pass and was stopped, requesting a meeting with Gai Wafu. Gai Wafu looked at Luo Zheng, who nodded indifferently, and Gai Wafu immediately agreed, instructing his men to bring the other over.

After terminating the call, Gai Wafu looked at Luo Zheng, who thought for a moment and said, "Let's retreat for now. You can speak with him alone; just promise him anything he asks, even ask for benefits. There's no harm in it."

"Alright, come with me." Gai Wafu agreed thoughtfully, heading towards the cave in the mountain ridge. Sarazi exchanged a glance with Luo Zheng. Seeing Luo Zheng nod, Sarazi followed along. Luo Zheng threw Ghost Hand a look, and they all proceeded towards the cave.

The cave was spacious, cool, and well-lit, with an opening connected to the top, much like the cave of the Terrorist Organization's base previously assaulted that held Tiger King. However, one was underground, and the other was in the mountain ridge. After walking through the cave for a while, Gai Wafu signaled everyone to enter a chamber.

The chamber was cleaned thoroughly, furnished simply, and had good ventilation and lighting. Gai Wafu explained, "This is my resting place, and the adjacent one is where I meet guests. In a while, I will meet the other party next door; you can listen to our conversation from here."

"Alright, you go ahead. Also, our people shouldn't be seen by the Sam Country agent," Luo Zheng instructed.

"Relax, my people will blindfold them with black cloth before bringing them in, and they won't discover anything. Then, we'll have them blindfolded back to the mountain pass, just as always," Gai Wafu explained.

After a brief exchange, someone reported that the person had arrived outside. Gai Wafu left with them, and Luo Zheng quickly surveyed the surroundings. Although Gai Wafu swore allegiance, it was wise to stay cautious. Above the chamber, there was a crack about ten meters high, allowing sunlight in. The cave walls had stumps and ropes for climbing. Luo Zheng figured this was likely Gai Wafu's emergency escape route and couldn't help but smile.

After a while, the sound of voices came from the next room. Luo Zheng figured the Sam Country agent had been brought in, so he perked up and strained his ears to eavesdrop.
