The sky is just beginning to lighten.
It's five fifty in the morning.
Before setting off, Song Heping made a phone call to Samir, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
The two always maintained contact.
This former employee of his company is now the leader of the local armed "Liberation Forces" in Illiguo.
This time, Samir is a key player in the mission to rescue the chef in Ashala Town.
Ashala Town is located to the east of Siria, close to the border with Illiguo.
In fact, the eastern side of Siria is a relatively desolate area. The border regions in the east and north are mostly oil-producing areas, and the population is not as prosperous as in coastal cities like Damascus, Tartus Port, and Latakia Port.
The current situation in Siria is as follows—
The northwest is occupied by the Freedom Army, which is mixed with various factions; some are opposition forces, and some are small religious extremist groups supported by old European influences.
