An hour later, at the headquarters of the Wood and Stone Unit.
"What the hell is going on!" Ted was sweating profusely as he paced back and forth in the command center. "Why is their battle plan completely different from what we discussed before?" As he spoke, he grabbed the collar of a signaller and roared.
"Sir …" The signaller was also wronged. "This … we don't know." He paused. "The content from the listening device … you heard it yourself. It can't be that we sent the wrong message."
"Listening device …" As soon as he heard these three words, Ted seemed to have thought of something. "Yes! It's the listening device! "He suddenly showed a furious expression." Yes … it must be like this! Those bastards lied to me! What 'travelers from another world'? They are clearly spies sent by the 'Arrow'! "
…
At the same time, in the dense forest.
"Captain, I don't think this group of NPCs can hold on for much longer. Let's withdraw before the enemy's encirclement tightens. When we return to the headquarters, there may be hope for a comeback." Imagawa Masayoshi, who was hiding behind a bunker and reloading bullets, was anxiously advising Feng Chenping beside him.
At this time, the four members of Sengoku Team 2 and a team of Wood and Stone Army were trapped in the enemy's firepower net. Although the players' lives were not in danger for the time being, the Wood and Stone Army's soldiers were basically defeated.
"Strange … this situation is not right …" Feng Chenping's face was solemn. He had faintly noticed something in his heart, but he could not be sure. "Imagawa … when you went to install the listening device, did you encounter any abnormalities?"
"Huh?" Imagawa was stunned for a moment. "What abnormalities? No, the whole infiltration process was very smooth, and I didn't even meet a single member of the Trash Alliance. "
"Hmm …" Feng Chenping frowned and pondered. "This …" He suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed abruptly. "Could it be!"
Boom!
An explosion interrupted his train of thought.
It turned out that the Giant Lizard Unit of the Arrow Unit had approached more than ten meters away and began to attack with short-range rocket launchers.
The force field used by the Wood and Stone Unit to block beam weapons could not withstand that kind of thing. In the blink of an eye, several shuttles were hit and overturned.
"Captain! If we don't retreat now, we might not be able to! "Seeing this, Houjou Wai immediately urged.
"Yes, Captain." Tokugawa Tadashi also advised, "Wasting time here won't do us any good. Although it's not that we can't defeat the mechanized troops on the other side, the number and firepower of the other side can't be underestimated. Plus, they are more familiar with the terrain … If we really want to fight, we will have to pay a certain price."
"Hmm … Fine …" Although Feng Chen Ping's doubts had not been dispelled, the current situation did not allow him to consider too much, so he decided, "… Retreat!"
…
The four of them did not encounter much obstruction during their retreat, and they easily passed through the enemy's flanking firepower.
After all, this was a planet that was known for its technological capabilities, and not a place like the Bunny Planet where "fists" would appear from time to time. In terms of individual combat ability, the players had an absolute advantage.
About 20 minutes later, the four members of Sengoku Team 2 returned to the headquarters of the Wood and Stone Unit.
Just when they thought that they could take a break and make a comeback, they didn't expect that what welcomed them was …
"Don't move!"
Several beams of strong light shone from the towers all over the base and focused on the four members of Sengoku Team 2.
Ted's voice also sounded from the loudspeaker, "Hmph … You guys … You still have the guts to come back?"
"Colonel Ted …" Feng Chen Ping was shocked and angry, but on the surface, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?"
"You're asking me what I mean?" From Ted's tone, he could tell that he was laughing out of extreme anger. "There must be a limit to treating someone like an idiot!"
Accompanied by his stern voice, a group of soldiers in light combat armor had already surrounded the four players with guns, and several heavy machine guns on high places had also locked onto them with lasers.
"I'd like to ask you guys …" Ted did not wait for the other party to respond and continued to question through the loudspeaker, "… Where is the unit that went out with you to ambush?"
"This …" Feng Chen Ping hesitated for half a second and replied, "The enemy seems to have changed their attack plan, causing us to be …"
"… counter-ambushed, right?" Ted did not intend to let him finish and directly interrupted, "Hehe … Then let me ask you again, since we were ambushed, why did my troops all die, and only you guys came back unscathed?"
"Hmph … Do you want us to die with your troops?" At this time, Imagawa Masayoshi finally could not hold back and snorted coldly as he replied loudly.
Even if Feng Chen Ping wanted to stop his teammates from talking nonsense, it was already too late …
Of course, at this point, the result was the same whether Imagawa Masayoshi said this sentence or not.
"Ha! Hahahaha … "Ted laughed a few times, then suddenly turned into a curse," You spies … You joined forces with those bastards from 'Sharp Arrow' to put on a show in front of me … Then you tricked my men into walking right into your trap. " The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. In the end, he roared, "Since you asked now, I'll tell you … I want you to die with my troops!" As he roared, he gave the order to attack. "Brothers! Kill them for me! "
The colonel did not hide his warlord-like behavior, and the last few lines were full of deja vu.
But in any case, the soldiers of the Wood and Rock Unit were very receptive to this. In addition, the profession of "spies" was hated by everyone, so the surrounding soldiers did not hesitate to kill the four people of Sengoku Team Two.
Tut tut tut tut —
Gunshots, machine guns, cannons, cannons … All kinds of sounds announced that countless powerful firepower had launched a total attack on the four players in a very short period of time.
Even if the players had hundreds of skills, it was not realistic to think that they could escape from such a siege …
…
Forty minutes later, by the beach.
"Damn it!" Feng Chen Ping, who was out of breath, sat down on the beach and cursed fiercely.
Together with him, there was Imagawa Masayoshi, who was slightly injured, and Tokugawa Tadashi, who had lost most of his life savings. As for Kazu Houjou … he was unfortunately killed by the encirclement of the NPCs and did not succeed in escaping.
"Captain … Is that Colonel Ted out of his mind?" Imagawa Masayoshi also said very unhappily, "How can the enemy's temporary change of formation be blamed on us? The content of the eavesdropping device was what he heard himself, and we did not make it up. How can this be said that we colluded with the enemy and let us take the blame? "
"Idiot!" Feng Chen Ping turned back and shouted fiercely, "Don't you understand? We fell into a trap! "
"Wh … What?" Imagawa Masayoshi was stunned by the captain's shout, but he could not think of when exactly they fell into a trap.
"When you went to put the eavesdropping device … I'm afraid it was already discovered." At this time, Tokugawa Tadashi on the side said in a deep voice.
"Nonsense!" Imagawa Masayoshi could not accept that this was his responsibility, and he said loudly, "How could I …"
"How could we have discovered it?" At this moment, a voice sounded from afar and joined their conversation.
The remaining three people of Sengoku Team Two hurriedly got up and looked at the voice cautiously.
Soon, they saw four figures riding mechanical lizards coming out of the dense forest and onto the beach.
The newcomers … were undoubtedly the four members of the Trash Alliance. And the one who had interrupted just now … who else could it be but Ambitionist?
"Captain Feng Chen Ping, we meet again." Hong Hu looked at Feng Chen Ping with a smile and greeted him, "I remember last time you said … that you hoped to have the opportunity to experience my wisdom in the competition, and I think … your wish has come true." He repeated the other party's words and continued with a smile, "Looks like … I'm not just good at talking, am I?"
"Hmph …" Feng Chen Ping snorted coldly, "Feng Chen has indeed experienced your strategy … but …" He stood up and glared at Hong Hu, "We haven't lost yet!"
"Ah … That's natural." Hong Hu said, "When I set up this trap, I guessed that 'Wood and Rock' would not be able to kill all of you, and it would be good enough if they could kill one or two of you."
"Don't talk about setting up a trap, what did you do?" Imagawa Masayoshi did not understand the question just now, so he could not keep up with the pace of their conversation.
"Haha … I didn't do anything." Hong Hu smiled and raised his hand to point at his teammate next to him, "If you want to talk about the credit, it's mainly him."
"I only used the summoned creatures to collect some information." The Shadow King, who was pointed at by Hong Hu, calmly continued, "Those schemes were all his, it had nothing to do with me."
"To put it simply … We've been keeping an eye on your 'infiltration' operation since the moment you left." Hong Hu waited for two seconds and said to Imagawa Masayoshi, "This is why … your operation was so successful. You didn't even get to meet us, and you successfully planted the listening device."
Imagawa Masayoshi heard this and suddenly understood.
"What I had to do after that was nothing more than rehearsing my lines next to the listening device." Hong Hu continued, "Even if General Reefer didn't want to help, I could've directed and acted it myself with a voice-changing device." He adjusted his glasses, "As expected, Wood and Rock's commander believed the 'information obtained from the listening device' and fell into the trap. When things went south, Colonel Ted's first suspects were inevitably the few of you … Because you were a group of suspicious people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, you can't be trusted completely. And … the whole plan of the listening device was proposed and carried out by you guys … After considering it all, it's not difficult to come to a conclusion — the four of you are spies sent by Sharp Arrow, and you put on a good show in front of Colonel Ted."
"Beat them at their own game, sow discord, and kill with a borrowed knife …" Feng Chenping stared at Hong Hu. At this moment, the former's attitude returned to normal, "Good … You're indeed a wise general."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Chenping stretched out his hand and grabbed the air. A white light flashed, and a long staff appeared in his hand.
Seeing that their captain was ready for battle, Tokugawa Tadashi and Imagawa Masayoshi also took out their weapons and prepared to fight the four people from the Loser Alliance.
"I wonder … Other than strategy, how are your skills?" Feng Chenping continued.
"Haha …" Hearing this, Uncle Loser laughed. "Are you trying to goad Brother Hong Hu into a one-on-one fight with you?" He shook his head, "Don't regret it, our team's strategist is also very good at fighting."
"Yes …" Tired Dream nodded, "So I suggest … for now, let's let Hong Hu and Shadow King settle this."
"Tsk … Are you looking down on us?" Imagawa Masayoshi roared, "The four of you can come at us together! We don't need your sympathy. "
"Sympathy?" Tired Dream cast a sharp glance at Imagawa Masayoshi and said coldly, "This … is Imagawa Masayoshi …" He had undoubtedly done his homework before the competition, so he knew a thing or two about the enemy team members' appearances, abilities, and other situations. "I hope you don't misunderstand. We have no intention of 'sympathy' or 'looking down on' you, and we have no intention of 'going easy on you.'" He paused, "I'm just making a corresponding suggestion based on the current situation. For the sake of the competition later, we don't need to expose our team's combat power too much here."
"You're right, but … your estimation of the situation is still not accurate enough." At this time, Shadow King was already riding his robotic lizard slowly towards the three people of Sengoku Team Two. "Here … I can handle it alone."
…
It was four o 'clock in the morning.
In the game world, in the Sengoku Society's conference room.
"So we really lost …" The one who spoke was Sengoku Shin. He had gray hair and wore a yellow light armor. His tone was rather calm, "I thought they would at least have a chance to get more information …"
"Even though it's an expected result … the process is a bit ugly." Takeda Masayoshi had long white hair, and the armor under his guild cape was pink. His voice was sweet and lively. "How about we deduct their bonus for this month?"
"I think … there's no need to deduct their bonus …" Uesugi Hito had long black hair, blue armor, and white shirt. When he spoke, he gave off an honest feeling. "Ever since those guys entered Thriller Paradise, they've been thinking too highly of themselves. This failure … should be a good lesson for them. " She paused for half a second and looked at the beautiful girl with long red hair at the head of the table. "Oda, what do you think?"
"Huh?" While he was speaking in a serious tone, Oda Ai was playing a game on the conference table. "What? Can we go offline for breakfast now? "
"Are you an idiot?" Takeda Masayoshi scolded the team's number one fighter. "The men of Team Two have already lost! You should have some sense of danger! "
"Ah … Men are unreliable to begin with …" Oda Ai yawned and replied weakly, "The only one I see as an opponent is Phantom Dawn. The rest … it's the same no matter who it is … After Team One enters the finals, no one will care about Team Two's loss, right?"
