135 TRAPPED

Long Tao ordered the squad to rendezvous at a location near the suspected sub-station. ” What are your orders, sir.”

” Ask the soldiers to regroup fast. We will be assembling at this spot by tomorrow morning. They are ordered to kill every spy found within their pathway. We don’t need to take hostages as of now.”

” I am sorry to interfere, general, but doesn’t it feel awkward to you that we managed to find it so fast.”

” Are you suggesting something soldier. I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this matter.”Long Tao wanted this to evaluate the soldier’s mental capability.

..................

” I feel that there is something at play here. If we take into consideration the number of people we have killed until now should be considerable enough for the enemy to notice us. Why did we manage to have such good luck then?”

” What is the relation between the enemy base being found and us being noticed. It could be a coincidence.”

” I have been tracking the region where each squad was operating. According to your orders, our area was specified. But the squad who found the enemy base was around 40 miles away from the location. Out of every possible direction, why did they chose to go in that specific one.”

” The only plausible explanation is the enemy’s activity being found in that direction.” Long Tao’s silence encouraged the person to continue his explanation.

.....

“If our activity is being monitored and they want to hide a base, shouldn’t they be luring us in a direction opposite to it. The only explanation is a trap being set up.”

..................

Long Tao was impressed by the analysis. He was starting to get impulsive, but this analogy made him put a rest on getting careless. He wasn’t scared of a trap, but rather the region where the trap was set. ” what do you suggest we do?’ He wanted to get someone else’s opinion.

” I suggest we withdraw.” Long Tao was surprised to hear the reply.

” Do you feel I am scared of a trap, soldier?”. The soldier got nervous, feeling the anger of Long Tao.

” I am not implying that, sir. Just imagine the current scenario for the enemy. There is no way they would choose to lose a base here. But they are still using the base to lay a trap for us. It can only mean that they are confident about taking us down once trapped.”

Long Tao’s vision regarding the matter was broadened a lot after hearing this. The soldier’s logic was impeccable. If it were true, and they have superior cultivations or methods of executing present in there, he will not stand a chance.

After thinking a lot, Long Tao made a decision that was going to hurt his wallet a lot.

” I have a task for all of you. You will be leading the team while performing it.” Long Tao laid out his plan. The guy was shocked after hearing it. It was a dangerous one, but if successful, the benefits were going to be immense.

” Make sure to kill every spy around the base as long as you can handle them. Make sure to have it look like a one-time incident. A major part of our eventual victory depends on it.” The soldier nodded his head and left the camp.

..................

The Crimson Lord world-

” Are you sure about using it. The resource consumption for making each one of them was quite large. The planned attack is going to cost quite big.”

” We can recover the cost from the treasure we obtain from the base and the enemy corpses.” Long Tao was confident about being able to gain some remuneration from the destroyed base itself. The other part could be reimbursed from working these soldiers out and the military.

” I just hope they are able to execute the order properly.”

” I have decided to leave one of my avatars with the group. You can rest easy, the mission is going to be successful.”

....................

The Base-

The assassin was preparing for the mission assigned to him. It was a high-level base having figures even powerful than him residing here. There was no way Long tao could escape after getting trapped here.

” Make sure to capture him, dead/alive. We will not be accepting any excuse from you this time. You have the support of Black-Knight and The Pig. If you were successful, not only will you be forfeiting your life, your family and clan will be wiped with you.”

” I will take care of Long Tao sire. There is no way he could escape this maze. The bait has been successful in drawing an enemy group here. They are currently waiting for further orders. There is no way he is going to ignore such a good opportunity.”

” I have stationed most of the guards inside the base at various locations. We have even set up some a group of suicide squads who will be working as a distraction, drawing them in. All three of us will be waiting for Long tao inside the base.”

” You are quite confident in your setup, just like every time he managed to outsmart you. I ask you to be a bit careful.”

...............

The exterior region –

” Don’t defy my orders under any circumstances. You are to eliminate every single spy around the base and not let anyone escape or come in. I have a way to get out. One group will do the guard duty, while the other will be engaged in filling the oil into the tomb and then blocking all the exits. Try to find every single one of them. The bombs given to you should be planted in and around the base too.”

“Wait for the instructed time and then blow every single one of the bomb. The plant layout should be according to my orders. ”

Long Tao entered the door. The inside was modified by carefully carving a cave into the mountain outline. He took out lots of Bombs and began planting them in a little distance away from each other as he went in deeper. The bombs had an elementary concealing formation drawn on them. ‘

The way he decided to plant them was to make sure a chain reaction occurs. The blast from one bomb will activate the next. So all he would need to do was blast a single piece.

............??

Long Tao soon reached the core region of the base. He was aimlessly looking around to find a proper pathway. He met a lot of groups composed of weak martial artists. Some ven decided to blow themselves up mid-fight, resulting in some severe injuries on his body.

Even after so much planning, he still underestimated the base. The base was too weel designed and quite large. The Bombs prepared were far too less, but the impact by the planted ones should be enough to bring the whole place down.

Another group appeared before him and blew themselves up. Long Tao ate a bag full of pills and tried to recover some of his lost Qi and stop the blood flow.

Walking ahead, he reached a large hall.

...............

Just as he was inspecting the surroundings, he turned his body around instinctively. The position he was standing in was embedded with several knives.

” You manage to remain alive after experiencing so many attacks. You must have broken through the Qi General level.” The assassination made his appearance. ” How does it feel to be trapped, my friend.”
