Mercenary's War

Chapter 2405: Chapter 2381: Captured

They moved into the barracks, with soldiers Abdullah called in to guard against Lavagani’s retaliation stationed outside. There were comfortable beds instead of damp mats to lie on, yet Gao Yang still couldn’t get a good night’s sleep.

After seizing the Iranians’ barracks, Satan and the Dagger Assault Team had a brief celebration. Each was proud yet on high alert for Iranian retaliation. However, upon learning that the Iranians did indeed launch an attack on Yemen’s Presidential Palace later that night, Gao Yang relaxed his vigilance.

As long as Lavagani was really carrying out official duties as planned, he would surely have no time for a conflict of spirits.

After receiving the news, Gao Yang started to sleep soundly, but was woken up at two in the morning. Being roused from a deep slumber, of course, didn’t count as having a good night’s sleep.

During the day, Salim was very angry because he couldn’t prevent Gao Yang from beating Lavagani. So after controlling the situation, Salim didn’t stay but left directly. However, in the middle of the night, Salim had to put aside the day’s displeasure and come looking.

The news Salim brought on his late-night visit instantly drove away Gao Yang’s sleepiness.

"Lavagani was captured alive!"

"What did you say?"

This time, it was Gao Yang’s turn to be shocked.

Salim was similarly shocked, and he spoke despondently, "Lavagani was captured alive. He led his men to attack the Presidential Palace, suffered significant casualties, but somehow, he was controlled and taken away by suddenly appearing armed men. They failed to capture the Presidential Palace, with Iranian casualties over half, and Lavagani was taken prisoner. The situation now is really grim and troublesome."

Gao Yang immediately became serious.

Although the whole world knew that Iran was supporting and controlling the Houthis Armed Forces, Iran never admitted it, and no Shah could provide evidence to prove it.

Lavagani being captured alive gave the Shah evidence, which was secondary, because Iran could still deny it. However, Lavagani was Iran’s highest officer in Yemen, and he held a wealth of intelligence. As long as the Shah people could get Lavagani to talk, they would definitely obtain invaluable intelligence. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Intelligence about Iran, Houthis Armed Forces, even high-level, crucial intelligence about Satan, potentially bringing a devastating blow to the Houthis Armed Forces, considerable loss to Iran, and unnecessary trouble to Gao Yang, could all be extracted from Lavagani.

Having associated with the Black Demon for so long and learned for such a long time, if Gao Yang didn’t realize Lavagani’s value, he’d have wasted his time. freewebnovel.cσ๓

"How could that idiot get himself captured alive? F**k! That incompetent fool, why didn’t he just die!"

Gao Yang didn’t want to play the wise, calm role, and he raged furiously.

Originally, he could have just watched the show, but after Lavagani was captured alive, there was no more show to watch. Gao Yang said angrily, "Tell me what exactly happened?"

Salim said helplessly, "You fought during the day, and after Lavagani left, he didn’t find a new camp nor accept the camp we arranged. They only rested for an afternoon. In the evening, they began to gather and then launched an attack."

"Get to the point. Time is really precious now."

"Lavagani was supervising the battle. The resistance at the Presidential Palace was tougher than we expected, and the Iranians suffered heavy casualties. A reserve team by Lavagani’s side was also deployed. During the fiercest fight, suddenly, from the building across from Lavagani, many people rushed out. They killed Lavagani’s guards, five in total, then captured Lavagani alive, capturing a total of four people."

Describing the situation at that time helplessly, Salim shook his head and said, "Our soldiers weren’t by his side, but they were nearby. They saw everything happen but were too late to stop it and couldn’t stop it. Those people were very strong. Then those people, controlling Lavagani, fought alongside the guards in the Presidential Palace and rushed into the Palace."

Gao Yang let out a long sigh and said, "Rushed into the Presidential Palace? Then it’s good. At least there’s still a chance for rescue. That idiot, didn’t he know at least to clear the surrounding buildings first, at least confirm his command post was safe..."

After cursing Lavagani as an idiot again, Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Let’s not talk about these useless things. Show me the exact position on the map."

Gao Yang actually knew where the fight took place because he knew where the Shah people’s mercenaries arranged an ambush. He had his own intelligence sources, but he didn’t and didn’t intend to share his intelligence with others, so he continued pretending.

Gao Yang had a map in his room. Salim quickly found the Presidential Palace already marked out. After a glance, he placed his hand on the map and said urgently, "Lavagani was captured here, only four hundred meters in a straight line from the Presidential Palace. It’s a very critical intersection. Lavagani was commanding the battle here. Actually, he was just spectating, but from the building across him rushed out dozens of people and captured him alive."

Gao Yang recalled the intelligence from Justin. Besides Hadi’s Guard Squad, there was a mercenary group called Indomitable Will with over eighty people, divided into two parts. Nearly forty of them were hidden outside the Presidential Palace.

Lavagani knew the importance of that intersection, as did those defending the Presidential Palace. So they arranged a troop there, unexpectedly capturing Lavagani in the process.

Exhaling, Gao Yang looked at Salim helplessly.

Salim looked at Gao Yang with an expectant expression, feeling awkward to speak his mind, yet unable not to speak.

Gao Yang intended to agree once Salim made his request, but at this critical moment, Salim felt too embarrassed to speak.

After all, asking Gao Yang to rescue someone they had just fought fiercely with during the day, an old rival who’d opposed him repeatedly, was understandably hard for Salim to express.

"Sigh, can’t your people rescue him?"

Salim nodded silently, then said in a low voice, "Well, our soldiers aren’t particularly skilled for this, Peter Ram... I know it’s hard to ask, but Lavagani is really important, so, so..."

Gao Yang waved his hand and said helplessly, "You’re my brother; some things don’t need to be said. Your problem is my problem. Although I really want that idiot dead, I know you must save him. We have no choice but to act."

It was necessary to rescue Lavagani, unavoidable, but Gao Yang didn’t mind helping out.

Picking up the radio, Gao Yang said gruffly, "Emergency assembly! Prepare for a hostage rescue operation. Choose suitable equipment. Guys, we have to go save an idiot!"
