Mercenary's War

Chapter 2402: Chapter 2378: Break All Their Legs

"What!"

Looking at the soldier running to report to him, with khat residue in his mouth and a handful ready to be put in, Salim was completely stunned.

"What did you say?"

"Peter Ram took a large group of people and started fighting with Mr. Lavagani’s soldiers!"

Salim put down his hand near his mouth and said tremblingly, "They started fighting? Where? What happened? Explain it clearly!"

"Peter Ram took people to Lavagani’s camp, and then they started fighting."

Salim let go of his hand, threw the khat on the ground, grabbed his soldier, and shouted, "Explain clearly, why did Peter Ram start fighting with Lavagani’s men, and in Lavagani’s camp no less? No, tell me what you mean by ’started fighting’! Did they open fire? Are there casualties?"

"They did open fire! I don’t know if there are any casualties. Peter Ram and his team went to Mr. Lavagani’s camp with artillery and the Dagger Assault Team. They said a few words; Peter Ram declared he would seize the Iranians’ barracks, and then they started fighting and opened fire! But it seems like they aren’t shooting at each other, mainly fighting with fists. I don’t know the specifics. Should we ask right away?"

Salim sat down on the ground and muttered in despair, "It’s over! It’s really over this time..."

"Hurry and stop them, what should we do?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Salim raised his hand, breathing heavily, "I must see Abdullah immediately, and you need to find out exactly what’s going on. If the Russians and Iranians have started a gunfight and many people have died, then, then..."

After stumbling over his words several times, Salim said with a tearful face, "Then it’s truly over. No, I’ll go personally now. We’ll talk on the way. Help me up, quickly, quickly!"

Salim felt his legs go weak, and he had to rely on the soldier’s support to stand up. He initially wanted to notify Abdullah first, but now Salim felt it was better to go and see for himself. It’s too late to inform anyone now, and if the situation is already out of control, his career within the Houthis Armed Forces would be completely over.

The boss and the boss’s boss were fighting, and Salim didn’t know how to stop it. They couldn’t afford to offend the Russians, but they couldn’t afford to offend the Iranians even more. And then, if too many Russians die, the consequences will be unbearable for Iran. In short, there will be no winners from this fight, only losses for all three parties.

Why did they start fighting, Salim began to curse Lavagani in his heart.

The Russians, even when there’s nothing, they need to create something. That Lavagani idiot kept provoking them repeatedly; he’s really an idiot!

As Salim sat in the car rushing towards the Iranians’ camp, his mind was completely in chaos.

Who is truly willing to kill, and who is just bluffing? Salim could tell. He had no doubt that Peter Ram would dare to start a massacre, without considering the consequences or costs. But how could Lavagani not see it?

"We’ve arrived."

Upon hearing the driver’s words, and with his mind still in disarray, Salim took a deep breath. As he pushed open the car door and got out, his previously weak legs regained their strength. There was no choice; things had come to this point, and he had to face it.

"Move aside! Everyone move aside! This is none of your business, clear out of here, there’s nothing to see!"

Yelling loudly, Salim drove away the onlooking soldiers and ran forward quickly.

Initially, Salim thought he should bring along Houthis Armed Forces soldiers to forcibly stop the fighting parties. However, he changed his mind; since both Iran and Russia were not forces the Houthis could afford to offend, let them fight. The most urgent thing now was to prevent the Houthis from getting involved.

Salim was even prepared to sacrifice himself. If someone had to die to stop this fight, he would die in the hands of one of the fighting parties. In this way, the Houthis could at least give an account to the two mighty forces they couldn’t afford to offend afterwards.

Our important figure died trying to stop the fight; you can’t blame the Houthis for standing by, that’s Salim’s thought.

As he passed through the crowd and entered through the gap in the wall, Salim gasped.

The ground was full of people lying down, some wailing, but most twisting and cursing, and the sound of scolding and screaming continued without end. Groups of people were wrestling and cursing each other.

He was initially shocked, but then Salim felt relieved because he didn’t hear gunshots.

No gunshots meant no one used guns. No guns meant the situation wasn’t too severe. As long as no one died, or not too many did, there was still room for reconciliation.

Salim took a careful look at the ground and was stunned to find that most of those lying there were Iranians, which surprised him. But after another glance at the fighting parties, Salim’s heart turned cold again.

How could he forget about the Dagger Assault Team?

The main force in the fight was clearly the Dagger Assault Team, but they were part of the Houthis Armed Forces. No matter how you look at it, you can’t say the Houthis weren’t involved.

Within a short period, Salim’s thoughts and mood changed continuously. It was like experiencing all four seasons in a matter of seconds.

"Grab him! Grab him!"

"Got him!"

"Run? You dare to run, you bastard! Run, you bastard! Run!"

"Don’t kill him, take your time!"

"Let me do it!"

Salim heard a series of shouts, followed by cheers and the thumping sound of fists hitting bodies.

Salim felt his legs get weak again. After a brief moment of daze, he suddenly woke up and shouted, "Stop it! Everybody stop!"

After one shout, Salim suddenly rushed to a soldier watching the spectacle, grabbed the rifle from his hands without a word, and fired a burst of bullets into the air.

After firing a dozen rounds, Salim shouted, "Stop..."

"They’ve opened fire!"

"Shoot!"

Bang, bang, bang, rat-a-tat-tat...

Salim was completely dumbfounded, holding the smoking rifle, utterly stunned.

Because Salim realized he might have made a monumental error. These people were fighting, just brawling, but his effort to stop the fighting was misconstrued as the other side having opened fire, causing them to open fire as well.

At this moment, Salim saw a group of people looking at him, the crowd parted, and there was Gao Yang, turning his head in surprise at him, while Lavagani, with two people twisting his arms, face covered in blood, also looked at him in astonishment.

"You all, you all stop, don’t fight anymore..."

After dazedly saying this, Salim felt like he was about to cry, but he continued, "You all stop fighting..."

Then Salim saw the very young Peter Ram turn his head back and shout loudly, "They haven’t fired, so we won’t fire either. Keep fighting, and break the legs of anyone who dares to resist!"
