I don’t have to speak the language to know that the trapped bastards aren’t exactly offering their thanks to me. I circle back around, making sure to keep a good distance between me and the remaining men. Three of them are caught. One poor son of a b***h has already fainted. Blood pools around his nearly severed leg. He’ll be dead in
