Three minutes after the shelling.

Rumeni, with his hands on his hips and cheeks flushed, dialed the number of the leader of the Sori Marines, but the line was constantly busy.

Helpless, Rumeni was about to try another phone when his chief of staff approached him: "Merk, the commander of the Sori Marines, requests to speak with you!"

Rumeni snatched the phone: "You damned bandits! Do you want to start a war with us?"

"Oh, no, General Rumeni, this is definitely a misunderstanding. Some of our troops mutinied and, without authorization, used rocket artillery to attack your forces!" the other party immediately said. "But they have been executed by our supporting forces. Only forty or so soldiers were involved in the mutiny!"

Rumeni gritted his teeth: "I demand that you report to my forward troops immediately! You must go in person!"

"Yes, General, I'm already in the off-road vehicle!"

"You will need to pay reparations! Massive compensation!" Rumeni angrily hung up the phone, turned to his staff and asked: "Monitor the movements of the Sori Marines! I want to see the sleep in the eyes of every one of their soldiers!"

Actually, Rumeni was also confused at this moment! His first thought wasn't that the Sori Marines had already betrayed him, and that wasn't because he was stupid, but because he didn't have enough information!

First, the news of Booker's death had only been spreading for two or three minutes, and he hadn't yet heard about it. Furthermore, Jayden, the chairman of Panama City, contacted Zhou Xian first, because the latter was the one behind the scenes. There was no point in him calling Rumeni first!

Second, the Sori Marines had cooperated with the War Hammer Mercenary Group several times, and there was a certain degree of trust between the two sides.

Third, in this military operation, the War Hammer Mercenary Group, the Sori Marines, and other mercenary organizations almost all departed from Gala City, which was their military springboard. The Sori Marines still had a large number of logistics troops stationed here, and they were less than a kilometer away from War Hammer's base camp!

Therefore, under these circumstances, Rumeni's first reaction was definitely not that the Sori Marines had betrayed him, because he felt that the cost for them to do so would be too high!

But with something like this happening, he had to take precautions, so he immediately sent troops to scout the Sori Marines' situation!

And in just under twenty seconds, the commander of the Sori Marines, who had just spoken to Rumeni, went directly to another rocket artillery camp and said with his hands behind his back: "Fire!"

Attacking while saying it wasn't me! This maneuver was too slick! Only these fickle pirates could pull it off!

Inside War Hammer's command base, a staff officer ran over anxiously and shouted: "It's the Sori Marines! Their rocket artillery is firing on our armored vehicles! We're suffering heavy losses!"

"???!"

Rumeni was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand what the other party meant for a moment.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The phone rang, and an officer picked up the phone, responded with a few words, and then shouted: "General, it's the commander of the Sori Marines!"

Rumeni gritted his teeth and took the phone: "I'm going to twist your head off!"

"General, please let me explain. We have been bought off by many people! A unit on the north shore has mutinied and opened fire on your troops without receiving any orders...!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"General! I understand your feelings, but please believe me, I will give you an explanation within five minutes!"

While Rumeni was cursing with his hands on his hips, a staff officer walked over and whispered in his ear: "Zhou Xian from District One called and told us that Booker is dead. He wants us to mobilize all our troops and enter Panama City!"

Rumeni swallowed and stared blankly at the phone.

"Hello, General, are you listening?!" the other party asked.

"After the battle of Panama City, there will be no more Sori Marines!" Rumeni said with a gloomy look, and immediately hung up the phone and said: "All combat units, advance into Panama City! Hold the key areas within the city!"

Inside Panama City.

The commander of the Sori Marines shrugged and turned to his officers, saying: "Our mission is to create chaos and clear the airport runway!"

At the same time, Rumeni dialed the phone of the supreme commander of the Gala Armed Forces: "Do you know?! The Sori Marines have betrayed us, and Booker is dead!"

The supreme commander of the Gala Armed Forces glanced at the leader of the Sori Marines sitting across from him and replied: "Yes, I just heard! I will send reinforcements to you immediately, General Rumeni! Let us end the enemy's conspiracy with the most brutal offensive!"

Rumeni was relieved to hear this: "Please send troops as soon as possible...!"

...

Three minutes earlier.

Outside of Yad County, Zhou Xian hung up the phone and ordered with a pale face: "Retreat! Return to base immediately!"

The assistant immediately asked: "What happened?"

"Booker was assassinated!" Zhou Xian cursed through gritted teeth: "Damn it, we have to go back immediately to stabilize the situation!"

"What about Xue Ping'an?"

"Don't worry about him, he will find me again!" Zhou Xian urged, shouting: "Let's go!"

As the convoy turned around and retreated, Zhou Xian called Rumeni, but his cell phone was busy, and his landline couldn't be reached.

"Notify Rumeni to send troops into the city! Quick!" Zhou Xian instructed his assistant, "I will report to the higher-ups!"

"Yes!"

The two sat in the car and began to busy themselves.

At this moment, on the central street of Yad County, a middle-aged man took out his phone and dialed Anze City's number: "Zhou Xian has retreated with his men!"

"Attack!" Anze City replied succinctly.

"Yes, Commander!"

The two ended the call, and the middle-aged man waved to both sides of the street and shouted into the full-band walkie-talkie: "Kill Zhou Xian, avenge yourselves!!! Open fire!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Ten small armed drones took off from the city and flew straight towards Zhou Xian's convoy!!

"Whoosh!"

More than two hundred people rushed out, gathered on the street, and got into various off-road vehicles hidden in the alleys and courtyards, heading directly towards Zhou Xian's convoy!!

This group of people had secretly infiltrated Yad County in more than a dozen waves, disguised as civilians, a day earlier!!

Who provided the information???

Xue Ping'an stood on the mountain, watching the drones take off, and said into his phone: "Tell Anze City that I have brought the people here!!! He must release some of my family members first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, ten armed drones arrived above Zhou Xian's convoy!

"Gatling guns! Open fire!"

A dozen armored vehicles quickly spun around and stopped, raising a frenzied net of fire!!

"Swish, swish!"

The drones fired missiles downwards, and a deafening explosion rang out, marking the official start of the battle!!

...

In The Dragon City, Anze City, wearing a general's uniform, stepped onto a helicopter: "Take off!! I will personally kill Zhou Xian!!!"

As the helicopter took off, an officer walked into Tan Hengqiang's office and said softly: "Anze City has left!"

"Let him go!!" Tan Hengqiang stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "I also want to see how big this Panama City incident will become!!"
