I had originally thought that their arrival this time would at most be a probe, so they wouldn't use particularly large weapons.
However, they actually brought out a Gatling gun!
These guys had no intention of probing; they came this time with the sole purpose of completing their mission.
With a weapon like a Gatling gun, my savage troop and I would have almost no chance of victory if we faced them head-on!
Moreover, some of them were equipped with thermal imagers. The sky hadn't completely darkened yet, but once it did, all of us would have nowhere to hide.
I tensed up in an instant. In this situation, I had to find a way to resolve the crisis first.
Otherwise, I would lose miserably.
Even if I could escape, many of the savages would surely be killed by them.
These guys were exceptionally cautious. After landing, they didn't act immediately but instead took thorough protective measures.
They were already wearing bulletproof vests, and their legs, being critical areas, also seemed to have some other form of protection.
It was clear they were trying to prevent my thorns from causing them further damage.
I returned to the camp immediately. Seeing me, Luo Yaqin rushed over.
"How is the situation?" Luo Yaqin asked.
"Not optimistic," I replied, not elaborating further to avoid worrying Luo Yaqin.
"Looking at your expression, I know things are probably very serious..." Luo Yaqin's voice trailed off.
"There's nothing to be done..." I said with a wry smile.
Luo Yaqin opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't.
I saw her expression, but at this moment, I really didn't have the time to bother with it.
I had to resolve the threat before me as quickly as possible, otherwise, tonight would likely see a fierce battle.
I selected five savages without hesitation.
These five savages were all relatively strong, and they were highly proficient in using bows and arrows!
I had competed with a few of them before, and their accuracy was even comparable to mine!
Both in terms of power and accuracy, they were ones I approved of.
I had Luo Yaqin teach them a few hand gestures. As long as I signaled with my hands, they would follow my lead.
With the language barrier, using gestures was the simplest method of communication.
I led these five savages back to the beach. By now, the sky was gradually darkening.
I counted the people carrying thermal imagers; there were about twelve of them.
Currently, I only saw two Gatling guns.
The greatest threat to us came from these fourteen individuals.
In this situation, I didn't dare to act rashly. Once we engaged, it had to be a swift and decisive fight.
I gestured to the five savages behind me, telling them to aim at the mercenaries with the thermal imagers. As for the Gatling guns, I could only deal with them myself for now.
I took out my bow and arrow, and the Divine Shepherd's Power instantly enveloped it.
A faint green light shimmered on the bow and arrow, and my body was instantly strengthened.
The mercenaries remained highly vigilant. I aimed my bow and arrow at one of the mercenaries holding a Gatling gun.
"Attack!" I said in a low voice.
The savages also drew their bows and arrows to the full.
"Kill!" I said in a deep voice, and the arrow, with a whistling sound, shot towards one of the men holding a Gatling gun.
The arrow hit its mark instantly. Its immense power pierced directly through the mercenary's head.
The residual power of the arrow continued forward, pinning another man behind him to the ground.
One arrow, two kills.
But it also revealed my position.
The five savages behind me also launched their attack.
Three mercenaries wearing thermal imagers were instantly killed by them.
Instantly, those men became tense.
"Defend immediately! That guy has appeared!" the man in the suit said in a deep voice, scanning his surroundings with a grim expression.
"Over there!" a mercenary with a thermal imager quickly located our position.
"Continue!" I said.
The savages didn't know what I was saying, but they understood that they had to continue attacking in this situation.
Without a word, they drew their bows and arrows again, and arrows shot out.
"Over there!" the mercenary with night vision goggles pointed the way for the others.
Pistols and light machine guns spat fire into the darkness, raking our hiding spot.
"Move!" I made a retreat gesture.
The savages immediately followed behind me.
Honestly, I had originally thought that these savages would be able to take down at least five of the guys with night vision goggles. Looking at the outcome, I was far too optimistic!
Now that our position was exposed, we had lost the initiative.
The enemy had an absolute advantage in weaponry, so winning this battle would not be simple.
Seeing the mercenaries charging forward, a bold idea suddenly struck me.
"Into the water!" I shouted.
