Near noon, a large number of armed men appeared on the road near the manor, but this time the guerrillas came again. Rather, Pablo is back.

The people who were still alive, especially the people here, let out bursts of cheers when they saw these people, and some even hugged their heads and cried. Seeing that Pablo had returned, Walker quickly led people to detonate all the mines planted on the road alive and dismantled them, and then informed Pablo that he could come up.

Pablo rushed into the courtyard with Córdoba and his guards, and was very excited when he saw the corpses of the guerrillas still exposed in the open air and the ruined houses in the courtyard that had no walls. He stood in the courtyard and looked around, then hurried into the big house, presumably anxious to see his sister and the housekeeper who had been killed.

About half an hour later, the one-eyed Córdoba came running up to me and Walker and said politely, "Two gentlemen, Mr. Balcas, please come to the room." ”

I stood up and threw away the cigarette butt, glanced at Códoba and said, "Why did you suddenly become polite?" ”

Cordoba subconsciously glanced at the corpses of the guerrillas on the ground, and said, "Please." ”

I nodded, gesturing to the corpses on the ground, "If your people are okay, let them sort out the bodies of these guerrillas." ”

"Understood." Cordoba readily agreed, and immediately beckoned his guards to come over, gave us a brief explanation, and then led us back to the big house.

When Pablo saw me and Walker, he hugged Walker and me excitedly, saying over and over again, "Thank you for protecting his sister and his estate." ”

After he calmed down, I said, "When will Karl be able to come back?" ”

Pablo smiled easily when he heard me ask, "Soon." As soon as I arrived, the guerrillas began to retreat, and now Silva's territory was completely under control. If it is fast, the army will be able to reach this vicinity the day after tomorrow at the latest. ”

"The army, you say? Wouldn't the other armed leaders come too? Walker asked.

Pablo nodded and said as a matter of course, "Of course." My house has been beaten like this, and my housekeeper has been killed in battle, shouldn't they come and see it? You may not know it, but Jose Sr. is like my family. The present scene here is my determination to fight the guerrillas, and it is also an example. If you say something, you may not believe it, but I still have to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?" Walker and I asked in unison.

"Government troops fight guerrillas." Pablo said and smiled, his smile full of helplessness and irony. "They're embarrassed to use the word blow. In my opinion, the government army is the guerrillas, and they are the kind that only guerrillas. So many people, how long has it been since the joint operation was promised before? They have killed far fewer guerrillas than those lying outside. If it weren't for their incompetence, maybe Jose Sr. wouldn't have died. ”

I've been aware of what Pablo said for a long time. It is evident from the actions of the guerrillas that from the beginning to the present time there has been little influence from the government side in the guerrillas' operations, and they have committed their most elite personnel to deal with Pablo as if there were no such thing as government troops among the belligerents.

"That's right. I have something to tell you. I said, glancing at Walker and then said to Pablo, "The guerrillas are not the only ones who have come to attack your estate. ”

Pablo nodded, "I know that those people in Silva are not willing to avenge their master. They will not be missing from the people who come to fight here. ”

Walker and I looked at each other and laughed. When Pablo saw our expression, he immediately wondered, "What? Could it be that there are others? ”

"Of course. Compared to the Silva people you mentioned, these people sent more this time. After retreating, the wizard and his men examined the bodies left behind by the guerrillas, many of whom had tattoos. Similar to the tattoo of an eagle. Walker said and looked at me and said, "Actually, it's not an eagle, it's a bird there, called the quetzal bird and the bird of freedom." They were a group of mercenaries from Guatemala. ”

Before I could react to where Guatemala was, Pablo had already spoken: "Guatemala? Mexican drug traffickers? ”

Walker nodded, "I'm sure they sent it." You robbed them of their dealings with the guerrillas before, and now they must be with the guerrillas against you. ”

Pablo suddenly became excited when he heard Walker say this, he looked at us with his hands in fists and said, "Are you sure it's those people?" ”

"Of course!" Walker affirmed, "Before you returned, we captured a member of the wizard's team who told us the origin of their men before the gypsies killed him. And now the bodies haven't been buried, you can see for yourself. I don't think anyone except Guatemalans would have this bird tattooed on their body. ”

"Don't look at it. It's definitely those Mexicans. Haha, I can't imagine that a group of vampires who sell drugs would dare to attack me. And it's in Colombia, on my turf! Good! It's just wonderful. I don't think they want to do their business anymore. Pablo said and looked at me and Walker, "I'm going to get revenge!" I'm going to do it once, no! It should be a series of revenge! I'm going to let them know what I'm going to get by offending in Colombia. ”

"Wait." I waved my hand and said, "I think they took revenge on you because we killed all the people they traded with the guerrillas and robbed them of their goods, and you said it like they provoked you first." ”

Pablo let out a long sigh of relief when I said this, and then said, "That's different. In fact, many people in Colombia have ties to the Mexican gang. I have warned them before not to make deals with the guerrillas, especially arms deals, and not to blame me for being unsympathetic if they are bumping into me for making trades. That's what I've told them before, and there has to be a bottom line in business even if it's revenge, he can set fire to my plantation, or blow up my mine, that's fine. But killing the other party's family directly, especially at this moment, there is no bottom line at all, and not only do I ignore it in this matter, but I can also have a full reason to retaliate against them. ”

I heard him say this, spread his hands and said, "Okay." I don't understand these things about you, and I don't want to understand them. However, I suggest that if you want to get revenge, you'd better wait until Carl comes back and discuss. Besides, I think you all need to rest too, and many of your capable men are either killed or wounded. ”

Pablo nodded and said, "I understand. I'll wait for Carl to come back, because my revenge isn't just about shooting those people twice. ”

Two days later, on the afternoon of the third day, Karl and other leaders of the SDF arrived at the manor with the victorious SDF. Pablo showed the men the corpses of the guerrillas who had begun to stink in a row, and then gave a grand funeral for those who died defending the manor, and after the evening dinner, Pablo had another meeting with the chiefs and Carl.

This meeting was not as bad as before, either Pablo was unhappy or Carl was very angry, after this meeting, it seemed that Pablo and Carl had talked about a lot of things, and the two of them stood together and talked for a long time after the meeting as if they were friends.

Late at night, Carl found Walker and I together and went to the rooftop of the big house that had begun to be renovated.

Walker wondered how Carl, who had always been disgusted with Pablo, had suddenly become on good terms with Pablo. Cal smiled at the question and told us that it wasn't him who changed Pablo's attitude, it was us, those of us who stayed on the estate to defend. The guerrillas attacked the manor far more violently than he could have imagined. Although we have done a lot of things for Pablo before, there is only one that really makes him feel that we can rely on and be trustworthy. This incident not only saved his family and estate, but also his status and face. Although the battle was fierce, it made Pablo face big in front of the other leaders, after all, no one had ever made a wizard suffer such a big loss before.

Walker then asked what he had said about Pablo's desire to get revenge on Mexican drug traffickers. Carl didn't look embarrassed this time and told us that he had agreed to cooperate. After all, the fight against drug traffickers in Mexico was also necessary for the government behind Carl, after all, more than half of the drugs there were sold to the United States. The government has always wanted to crack down on the Mexican drug trafficker, but it has missed an opportunity, and now the opportunity has arrived. However, it will take time to integrate intelligence and manpower and develop a plan. In addition, Pablo would continue to attack some of the guerrilla plantations before the action against the Mexicans, and now the guerrillas have suffered heavy losses in the recent battles, and although the government forces have not done their part, the guerrillas do not dare to take it too lightly, and now many of the guerrilla plantations have begun to appear to be weakly defended.

Finally, Carl told us that from the information he had received so far, there were not many people left in the wizard's direct team, and that only the wizard and the Mexican sniper were still alive among the few people who had been shown to us before, but now both of them were injured, especially the Mexican, who would not be able to heal for a while. And most of the people trained by the wizard and his men were also killed and wounded, and from the current situation, we can have plenty of time to prepare in the near future, and we don't have to worry about any unexpected attacks from the wizard.

At the end of the conversation, as Walker and I were about to go back to bed, Carl finally said, "Guys. I know you're physically and mentally exhausted. But hold on, now that the tide has turned, the opportunity has arisen, and as long as we can hold on, I believe we will soon be able to go home. ”
