Joja held Antar's computer for a while and after thinking for a few minutes, he nodded at Dorian and said, "You go adjust the position of the mortar. Make sure that Antar and the others can hit the main road to the south when they open fire."

Saying that, Joja looked at Nis and said seriously, "We don't need you to attack the hotel. Once the Cardinians make a move, you fire all the shells and immediately retreat without any hesitation. Do you understand?"

Nis frowned and wanted to say something, but after making eye contact with Joja, she instinctively nodded.

Seeing Nis obediently following his instructions, Joja nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at Kaman, who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Dragon Lizard, do you have any suggestions?"

Kaman shook his head and said, "I have no objections. We have the advantage of having eyes while they don't. There's no need to hesitate."

After pausing for a moment, Kaman glanced at the dark town and shook his head, saying, "Actually, we don't need to retreat separately. The Cardinians are not as brave as you imagine. Their movements will be slow in this dark environment."

"It's not a good idea to steal a car and leave. The Cardinians might chase us in their cars, and the guards in the north will definitely block us. They have RPGs."

Kaman's words were not very clear, but Joja understood.

There were many armed pickups ambushed on both sides of the southern road, hidden among the bushes, ready to charge onto the road at any time.

No matter how fast they moved, as long as the artillery fire stopped, the Cardinians would most likely chase them in their cars. It was not the best way to cross the two-kilometer town road and break through the blockade of more than a dozen guards in the north.

The terrain around the hills was complex, and with the dark sky, the threat from those armed pickups was relatively small.

To the northeast of the hills was a semi-dry riverbed, and their truck was parked on the other side of the river.

If they retreated from this direction, they could effectively avoid the Cardinians' pursuit. Then, as long as they entered the grassland, Kaman was confident that he could safely lead everyone out.

But this method had one drawback: it required a very high speed of attack and retreat for Joja and the others. Any mistake could potentially trap everyone in the town, especially since they didn't have many mortar shells.

According to Kaman's plan, the attack and retreat should not exceed ten minutes.

As a novice, Joja was willing to listen to everyone's opinions and consciously guided everyone to speak.

Compared to Antar and Dorian's plan to retreat separately, Kaman's method undoubtedly suited Joja's taste as a novice, even if it meant taking some risks.

Nis was the first to agree with Kaman's suggestion. Her voice was cold as she said, "We can use the shells to block the road and cover you. In this dark situation, the Cardinians' pickups won't be able to get close to us. Even if there are people who are not afraid of death and launch an attack here, I am confident that I can stop them halfway."

"To cross the town, we need to pass through a narrow road of two kilometers, and there are Cardinians to the north of the town. Although their numbers are small, there is still a risk..."

Joja ignored Nis and turned his gaze to Dorian.

Dorian shrugged and said, "I don't mind. It doesn't affect the attack on the hotel itself."

"There are advantages to retreating separately, and there are advantages to retreating together. The former has some risks, but it is acceptable. The latter requires high demands from us, but as long as we don't make any mistakes, it will be safer. You're the boss, you decide!"

Joja understood what Dorian meant. If he had enough ability, of course, it would be best and most worry-free to gather and retreat.

After thinking for a few seconds, Joja nodded heavily and said, "We will gather and retreat..."

Saying that, Joja looked at Antar and said seriously, "You have a lot of responsibilities. Is there a problem?"

Joja didn't know if it was his illusion, but he saw determination and light in Antar's eyes.

This woman behaved very resolutely and firmly. "Boss, I won't let you down."

Joja nodded and looked at the AK74 on Kaman's back, saying, "Then let's change guns. Dorian, give the MP7 to Dragon Lizard, and you use the P90. Put silencers on the guns to buy us some time."

Saying that, Joja looked at Kaman and asked, "Dragon Lizard, do you have any problems?"

Kaman didn't waste words either. He took the MP7 from Dorian, felt it for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "No problem. Close-quarters combat is about who is faster. This gun may not have much power, but it has a lot of bullets and is fast."

Joja nodded with relief. Kaman, this old guy, was definitely reliable. If he said it would work, then it would work because his shooting style relied more on feel than aim, which meant he would be faster than most people.

For someone holding a submachine gun in indoor gunfights, as long as they could hit the opponent faster in the moment of encounter, they would win.

There were many scenes in movies and TV shows where fully armed American special forces attacked the enemy in the dark. That kind of efficient and silent killing was very satisfying to watch, and there must be such teams in reality as well. However, Joja and the others were not facing these people.

Watching Dorian skillfully attach a silencer to the P90, Joja nodded slightly and said, "Bring night vision goggles. Owl will guide us. Let's go..."Dorian quickly took out a monocular night vision device confiscated from a sea hound and fixed it on his helmet. But when he was ready to look at Kaman, he was surprised to find that this African rustic veteran had taken out an advanced panoramic night vision device from his bag and, with Joja's help, installed it on his helmet.

Dorian thought that night combat was the specialty of special forces, but when he compared the equipment gap between the two, he felt a little depressed and said, "GPNVG-18 panoramic night vision device, it's too troublesome to travel with this thing. But can you give me one too?"

Joja shook his head with a smile and said, "This is a benefit for regular employees. After we kill all the people in the hotel and go back, I will give you one too."

Dorian looked at the short and small-bodied Kaman wearing the night vision device and made a face, saying, "You must give me one. I like this thing."

Saying that, Dorian took off the monocular night vision device on his head and walked downhill, saying, "Boss, don't you need it?"

Joja put on his tactical goggles and smiled, saying, "Don't worry about me. I have natural night vision. Just take care of yourselves."

While Joja was speaking, Kaman quickly surpassed Dorian and acted as the vanguard.

The old man's walking movements were not something an ordinary person could imitate, and he seemed to have a magical talent, which was to find the best path in complex terrain.

Seeing Kaman leading them quickly through the junkyard, Dorian, who was a little uncomfortable, muttered, "OK, OK, it's all thanks to the night vision device. It turns out it's better to find a generous boss."
