136 BETRAYAL

” How does it feel to be trapped, dear friend?” The assassin was trying to mock Long Tao.

” Honestly, this place feels a lit bit clumsy. You should try and set up a base above the ground. Fresh air is good for health.” Long Tao said in a calm tone.

The assassin was pissed at the enemy’s calmness. ” You are still trying to act tuff. There is no route to escape. We have surrounded this place from all sides, with enough men to exterminate you.”

Two new figures came into view. ” I want you to meet with my partners. He is Black-Knight, the leader of Black-Dagger hall. The other one is called The Pig. I assume you have broken through the Qi general level right. Both of them are at the 6th level of Qi general.”

It was a blow to Long tao’s confidence. Two-level six Qi generals and one at level five were too much for him to handle. He needed the men above to work faster. He needed a distraction to get away from these people and get his hand son the treasures here.

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

” Are you hoping for your men to create a distraction fro you to escape?” The question came as a shock to Long Tao. He didn’t expect the assassin to guess his plan.

” Don’t feel shocked. Our subordinate reported all about your little plan to us. Do you think we will allow you, men, to plant those explosives around the base?” LonG tao was getting goosebumps after hearing these words.

” That expression of yours is worth the investment.” The assassin started his attack. Long Tao voided it quickly, but the next attack came right at his location. The other two were attacking in coordination with the assassin.

.....

He tried his best to fend off the attack, but three enemies, two of which were beyond his power level, got the better of him. The wounds got worse as time went by. The attacks were pointed at the trajectories of his dodge. LonG tao was in a desperate situation.

He started using Berserker art. It did give a boost to strength, but the blood essence was slowly being consumed.

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

” You should return to the crimson Lord world.’ The Keeper was getting worried about Long Tao’s injuries.

” I can’t risk exposing the treasure. I have to find the betrayer within my camp, and lastly, we need to take the treasures within the base to compensate for the resources used.

” There has been no attack on the other group yet. The betrayer managed to hide well. I need to find out who he is soon. Otherwise, the mission will be sabotaged.”

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

A spear attack landed on one of the shoulders. Long Tao was pushed back against the wall.

” What is your next plan? Or were you too confident in your scheme that you forgot to plan a back-up.”. Long Tao had to agree with the guy about the betrayal he faced today. It was totally out of his expectations.

” Before you kill me, would you at least tell me the name of the guy who managed to sabotage the plan.” Long Tao asked in a groveling voice.

” I see you still haven’t recovered from the shock. Your life is about to end, and that is your last wish.” The assassin was enjoying this moment. He finally managed to get his revenge.

“Get it over with. We have orders to execute the next mission.” The Pig spoke out with anxiety.

The assassin was unhappy about not getting the chance to savor the moment.

” As a parting gift to you, I would like to tell you why the plan was sabotaged. It was because the one who made the plan along with you is the real culprit.”. Long Tao felt betrayed by hearing it. He thought himself to be a good judge of character, but the situation indicated otherwise. The soldier who showcased the highest intelligence was the mole.

“I sent the person whom you will feel most comfortable with to discuss your plan. You fell for the trap so easily. I expected you to walk in alone on hearing his analogy.”

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

The outskirts of the base-

” We believed in you, but you were a traitor.” The squads just realized that the in-charge of this plan was the traitor himself.

” You can blame Long Tao for your sad demise. I have gone through his miraculous training and managed to set-up the perfect offense for you guys.”

Several figures emerged from the forest. The assassination had prepared an ambush for a long time. ” You should give up. We have 3 Qi generals on our side. You can’t possibly think about winning at the moment.”

Three figures emerged from within the group. Two were level 2 Qi general, while the third one was a level 3. The Qi released by their bodies suppressed most of the members from Long tao’s squad.

Just when they were about to lose hope, the pressure was canceled out.

“I had high hoped for you, but it turned out sometimes our judgments are wrong.” The figure sheathed his sword and disappeared. Bodies started falling.

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

The sword was stuck into the body of the traitor who was pleading for his life. ” I could assist you in conquering this base. Please let me live.”

” You managed to do enough already, my friend. Its time you go to meet your friends in hell.” The sword was taken out, and the head cleaved away from the body.

” The plan goes as usual. Blow the whole area. The general will be needing our assistance. Start to fill the oil into the base and plant the bombs. The other squad accompanies me to finish the enemies around.”

“Shouldn’t we go rescue the general.?” The soldiers felt nervous regarding Long Tao’s condition. If this trap were real, then he would be in a hazardous situation.

“Believe in the general. He will make it out.” The squad started the execution of the plan.

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

At the same time, inside the base-

” its time for us to part ways.” The assassin raised his blade to stab Long Tao. ‘ Boooom’ A huge band occurred, vibrating the whole place. Multiple bombings took place, one after another.

The three figures were shocked by this disturbance. They looked at Long Tao, who was smiling. ” It seems my squad was able to execute their mission.”

He stood up and threw a lot of spherical objects at them. When they hit a surface, a blast took place. The three figures rushed to protect themselves.

As the dust settled-

” where is he?” the assassination was looking around madly. Long Tao managed to escape.
