Hearing that Calum was preparing to show off his muscles to the negotiator sent by Hamid, the 15,000 soldiers in the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Temple immediately began to prepare quickly as if they were about to be beaten up by blood.
Except for a handful of mid-level and high-level military officers in the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple, who were thinking of shame and revenge for their dead brothers, most of the soldiers in the Dragon Temple had no sense of revenge at all.
After all, everyone is but a mercenary. The whole world gathers to fight side by side in the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple only to make money. Who is dead and who is injured does not really affect them.
The only issues they really care about are closely related to themselves such as how much money they’ll be paid, whether the task at hand is dangerous or not, and whether it is hard or easy. Other issues are completely irrelevant and don’t take any priority.
Therefore, they are extremely interested in showing their muscles at this time not because of a sense of collective honor but they have long been bored in this place where birds do not shit and only just want to end it quickly.
Right now the other party has come to negotiate. Therefore they have to seize the moment to show off in front of the other party and it is in their best interest to frighten the enemy down and let them surrender without resistance.
They heard that for this review, the government has taken great pains to transfer 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers from other places. These Dragon Temple soldiers are even more excited. The two sides together add up to 50 to 60 thousand soldiers. Their thought was whether Hamid had sent a negotiator just to be scared and pee?
As for not allowing live ammunition to be loaded with their guns, it is nothing unusual. There are almost no live ammunition inspections in this world. There has only been one inspection with live ammunition in the entire army history and that was the Soviet military parade in 1941. More than 100,000 soldiers participated in the military parade. They immediately set off and rushed to the battlefield to defend their country afterwards.
In addition, all inspections must ensure that there is no live ammunition. Otherwise, if anyone leaves a bullet in the gun and kills the enemy representative during inspection, the situation will get out of hand.
As a result, the soldiers in the Dragon Temple consciously removed all ammunition from their firearms, and their superiors also issued orders requiring officers at all levels to conduct a second inspection and confirmation of the firearms of their lower level officers and soldiers.
At the same time, the government forces were also actively preparing, but they are diametrically opposed to the Dragon Temple. What they want to confirm is that all weapons and ammunition are on standby at any time.
Subsequently, soldiers from both sides began to line up in a large open space in front of the camp. The government forces that originally fought side by side with the Dragon Temple were assembled on the right side of the Dragon Temple, while the government troops specially drawn from various places were arranged to assemble on the left side of the Dragon Temple.
At the same time, a large number of armored vehicles were all lined up and parked right in front. It is equivalent to wrapping these fifteen thousand people in Ten Thousand Dragon Temple as dumpling stuffing. However, the soldiers in the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple did not feel any abnormality at this time.
Calum walked out of the negotiation room under Charlie’s instruction and came directly to the front of his soldiers, with his hands behind his back and repeatedly emphasized the sentence, “Everyone listen! We must show our strongest posture, and strive to suppress the enemy from the beginning!”
All the mercenaries in the Dragon Temple responded one after another, standing tall and upright.
At the same time, they also despise the government forces on the left and right sides in their hearts because these guys, not even one of them, look like a soldier.
But who could have imagined that when the army was assembled and 15,000 soldiers in Dragon Temple were waiting for Hamid’s negotiator to appear, all government troops suddenly pointed their guns at the 15,000 soldiers of the Dragon Temple.
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted through a loudspeaker, “All the soldiers of the Dragon Temple must raise their hands and surrender unconditionally! Anyone who dares to resist and refuses to surrender will be killed!”
