This was a battle that ended before it began.
The moment the directional mine exploded, Yang Yi knew they were in big trouble, no longer could they simply muddle through by taking opportunistic shortcuts; now, everyone, anyone, was on the verge of extreme danger.
Landmines are an infantry's nightmare, and a directional mine is that nightmare made real, especially the remote-controlled or manually-controlled ones, which are absolutely lethal.
This was a war between two arms dealers.
What do arms dealers have in abundance? Weapons, of course.
This is Ukraine, the warehouse of the world's largest arms dealer.
Jethro had already prepared for failure, and Yang Yi was ready to make a quick escape, but the enemy had set up an unknown number of directional mines outside the exterior wall; with just this move, the enemy had already secured an invincible position.
