After the reinforcements joined, the Elvis family quickly turned the situation around.
While being suppressed, the stragglers of the Sky Wolves Mercenaries gradually lost their combat effectiveness. Their morale plummeted especially after they found out that they had lost contact with Edmund.
Viktor abandoned them, and it was Edmund who told them there was a chance to turn things around, so they obeyed.
“Damn it, where the hell is Edmund? I feel like we fell into a trap!”
“Let’s leave now. Edmund is a liar; I don’t want to die here!”
Confusion and hesitation began to spread among this group of mercenaries, and they began to doubt why they even participated in this battle.
Thud!
A corpse fell from upstairs and was exposed to everyone.
It was a young man, and his eyes still retained the shock and disbelief before death.
It was Edmund!
The poor guy could not believe that up until the moment he died, he was abandoned by Sonya who was still sweet and affectionate to him just a moment ago.
“Your leader is already dead. If you squat and surrender, you will be spared!” Cindy loudly persuaded the crowd surrounding him to surrender.
As the remaining mercenaries who were still struggling saw more and more enemy troops approaching, and Edmund, who was obviously dead on the ground, they hesitated for a moment.
There was also confusion in their eyes.
Now, the building was surrounded by reinforcements from the Elvis family, and they had nowhere to go even if they escaped. In addition to that, Edmund’s death had officially shown the failure of their mission.
After a brief moment of whispering among each other, someone took the lead and the men put their guns on the ground one after another.
Cindy and Albert looked at each other, feeling relieved. What they were most afraid of just now was that these mercenaries would choose to resist. Even if they had the absolute advantage in terms of manpower now, they were still worried about an accident occurring.
“We are finally safe. It’s all thanks to Vivian’s people coming in time!”
