Chapter 762 - 710: Enemies
As Mountain Eagle led Razer toward his house, Balang finally had enough of the two continuously barking Springer Spaniels. It let out a deep growl when one of the dogs tried to pee on the firewood, and charged in, knocking the obviously bold Springer flying…
"Awoo…"
The Springer let out a pitiful wail, tucking its tail and circling to Balang's side, while the other Springer seized the moment when Balang's attention was diverted, rushing forward to try to bite Balang's right foreleg.
Balang, not quite sure if it was angry or amused, let out a strange sound, then swung its neck vigorously, colliding its head with the Springer…
"Snap"
The clash of jaws produced a crisp sound, and then a broken tooth flew out of the Springer's mouth, who wailed with its tail between its legs and ran to Razer's feet, whimpering 'woo woo' painfully as it walked along, pawing its mouth…
Razer looked curiously at the imposing Balang, and admired, "This really is a good dog; he's a fighter!"
Mountain Eagle, seeing how Balang subdued the two restless Springers in just a few moves, smiled and gave an order for Balang to keep an eye on Yue Yi, preventing him from getting too close to the Springers, and then said to Razer with a smile, "Balang is not a hunting dog; he's my comrade.
We've experienced many battles together!"
Razer nodded slightly and said, "Then you're quite something. At least you're not like Blood Fox, abandoning your comrades to fend for themselves on the battlefield."
Mountain Eagle saw Blood Fox and Mi Lu approaching in the distance. He didn't quite believe Blood Fox was the type to abandon his comrades, but since he was the old friend, Mountain Eagle tactfully held his tongue…
Sure enough, as Blood Fox approached Razer, he discontentedly said, "I didn't abandon anyone, damn it. I saw a shell land next to your brother…
If you were me, what would you have done?
Should I have risked the rest of us getting blown up to rush in and retrieve mangled flesh?"
Razer, not as tall as Blood Fox, took a step forward, almost face-to-face, and roared, "But he didn't die; he dragged himself off the battlefield, missing a leg.
When those damned Colombian warlords executed him, where were we?
You took us flying to fucking Venezuela…"
Blood Fox listened, eyes struggling, and said in a deep voice, "At that time, you and Odin were near death, and Pangolin had both legs broken. What could I have done?
This is the line of work we're in. I don't care if you hate me. If you're here to help, you're welcome; if you're just here to nag like a woman, I don't care either…
Razer, Mountain Eagle is very important to Arctic Fox, and I won't allow you to cause trouble with your emotions!"
The atmosphere between the two was thick with tension as Mountain Eagle signaled to Mi Lu with his eyes…
Seeing Mi Lu's look of disdain fixed on Razer, Mountain Eagle helplessly raised his hand and said, "Hey, hey, hey, let's get Razer something to eat first, and then have a drink together.
We can lay everything on the table, but I won't allow anyone to interfere with my plan."
Razer looked at the women standing curiously on the wooden porch, sniffed, and shook his head, "What plan do you have?
Bring over your wife and kids, then guard this drafty camp, leading a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled to fight against hundreds of inhuman soldiers?"
"Hundreds of inhuman soldiers?"
Mountain Eagle frowned, looking at Razer, who seemed to know something, and asked curiously, "How do you know?"
Razer didn't immediately answer Mountain Eagle's question. He glanced at Yue Yi, who was persistently trying to touch the curly coat of the Springer standing nearby, then took two leashes from his waist, looped them around the Springer's necks, and after tightening, handed one end to Yue Yi…
"You have wolves, bears, cougars here, take good care of them, give them something to eat…"
Yue Yi, too young to sense the tense atmosphere, happily shouted, "Yes sir…"
Finished speaking, he ran up to the porch with the two suddenly quiet Springers, and called out to his brother Zack like showing off a treasure, "Zack, look at them. Do you think my Schuck and Beta can take them?"
Zack, clearly uninterested in the limited size of the Springers, shook his head and said, "Schuck and Beta are sleeping in the attic, they've seemed a bit unwell since Balang scolded them yesterday, let's not disturb them."
Saying this, Zack turned and gestured, "Come with me, I'll get them something to eat, and then introduce them to the camp members, otherwise they'll get bitten to death."
As Zack spoke, Luna dragged out two reluctant brown bears from the house and called out to Yue Yi, "Fist, we need to find them a place to sleep; Mom said they smell too bad."
Looking at the two Springers jumping and howling nervously on the spot, Luna mimicked a movie villain's tone and said deeply, "But before they sleep, we should give them a supper.
These two little dogs are a nice target, unless they let me pet them…"
As the kids were playfully causing a ruckus, Mountain Eagle led Razer into his cabin and introduced his wife and the other members to this old chap…
Inuit men usually marry into the wife's family, and women also engage in heavy labor. So Thor didn't have the traditional idea of looking down on women, which made his attitude towards those strong-looking female warriors in the wood lodge quite good.
On the contrary, his attitude towards Butcher's six-member team and the two snipers was somewhat perfunctory...
This attitude, which was different from Blood Fox and the others, instantly made this ragged old fellow very popular.
Especially Xiao Wan...
Faced with Razer's distinctive behavior, Xiao Wan personally cooked a bowl of noodles for him and found some pickles and white wine she had brought from home to entertain the old man.
Drinking in the early morning seemed a bit off, but this was the highest etiquette Xiao Wan could imagine for someone of the old man's status.
Xiao Wan was very enthusiastic because this woman, who had never been in close contact with military personnel, suddenly found herself dragged by her husband into a potential war, making her feel out of place.
Although Butcher and Tiffany always maintained respect towards Xiao Wan, she had no confidence in herself.
Xiao Wan was not afraid because she trusted Mountain Eagle more than anyone else, believing her husband would not let her and their child be in danger.
But that feeling of being unable to help made her feel at a loss...
But Razer was different. This old Inuit, whether due to traditional reasons or otherwise, placed Xiao Wan in the host position and fully expressed his acknowledgment of the female host.
While waiting for Xiao Wan to prepare the noodles, Razer picked up the 'Yang River' on the table, frowned at the exquisite bottle, and curiously asked, "Is this wine particularly expensive?"
Mountain Eagle was eager to know from Razer why he knew the enemy's number, so he invited Blood Fox and Butcher to sit down and then turned to fetch a few glasses...
Seeing Tiffany and Griffin, the two female team leaders, glowering at him, he waved his hand in annoyance to signal them to sit down and poured each of them a glass of white wine...
Originally, Mountain Eagle intended to keep this wine for himself. He was a little reluctant to share it with these foreigners.
Not because it was particularly good or expensive, but because Xiao Wan had brought it over; it was part of the wedding wine from years ago, and he hadn't been able to bring himself to drink it.
Pouring a little less than two taels for each person, Mountain Eagle gazed at the now empty bottle, sighing with a bit of regret.
At this moment, Xiao Wan brought over a large bowl of noodles and, seeing Razer enjoying his meal, proceeded to unpack all the snacks, pouring dried tofu, peanuts, peas, and broad beans onto a plate. She carefully labeled which items the children couldn't eat along the plate's edge.
Watching Mountain Eagle look at her with a strange expression, Xiao Wan laughed and said, "Come on, can't all just sit and do nothing.
Is there enough wine? If not, I have a few more bottles; I brought all the leftover white wine from home."
Mountain Eagle sighed and said in Chinese, "These foreigners don't understand. Give them a pack of dried plums, and they'll start drinking.
Next time, just let them drink erguotou. They can't taste the nuances of aromatic white wine."
Seeing Mountain Eagle suddenly becoming petty, Xiao Wan thought of something and nodded, smiling, "Since when did you become so stingy?
But it turns out we do have some erguotou; Yuliy especially likes it. She brought five cases with her when she came; I'll get it for you now."
Mountain Eagle, hearing this, nodded in satisfaction and said, "See, Russians love erguotou. These old geezers probably like it too.
Save the good wine for me; we can secretly drink it together. After all, it's our wedding wine. Let me enjoy being the groom again tonight."
Xiao Wan playfully punched Mountain Eagle on the back as he babbled nonsense, then attentively said to Razer, who was slurping his noodles, "Sir, eat slowly; if it's not enough, we have more…"
Razer, hearing this, quickly slid the last bit of noodles into his mouth. After swallowing, he wiped his mouth and smiled politely, saying in broken Chinese, "Haw Chi, Fist feels grateful…"
Saying this, Razer turned to look at Eagle Claw walking outside, smiled, and said, "I've had this kind of noodle made by Eagle Claw before, and it tastes even better now. Thank you…"
Mountain Eagle saw Razer reach for his glass, so he raised his own glass and said, "Come on, though the timing isn't quite right; let's take a sip, to thank Razer for coming to help us…"
Razer clinked his glass with Mountain Eagle's, took a mock sip bypassing Blood Fox, then made a 'ha' sound, imitating the way some people back home drink.
"Cough, cough, cough…"
Watching Tiffany and Griffin, the hasty and bold duo beside them, being choked and coughing repeatedly, Razer laughed and said, "Don't rush, especially when drinking…"
Mountain Eagle, observing Razer's somewhat peculiar personality, sighed and said, "Sir, you say there are several hundred inhumane soldiers on the other side; it makes me a bit uneasy…
Where exactly did you get this information?"
Razer glanced at Blood Fox, who hadn't been speaking, snorted, and said, "Remember Odin…"
