CH712: A Mole's Price
Later that night...
A convoy of pickup trucks sped towards a village in the Latakia mountain range.
The village had a wooden construct forming a semblance of a fence around it. There was also a raised platform which functioned as a watchtower.
A man on the watchtower noticed the convoy speeding towards the village and raised an alarm.
A few men from the village rushed out towards the fence's gate. There were about twenty of them.
Their leader was a fat burly man with an unkempt busy beard and a scar across his forehead.
The man's head throbbed as he saw the approaching vehicle. The scene was reminiscent of the event that caused the scar on his forehead.
<Get ready for battle!> He roared to his men without hesitation.
His men found cover positions.
Soon enough, the incoming insurgents arrived at the gate. They opened fire on the village militia without a word.
