Chapter 30 Xiao Fan's Trap? A Cunning Plan!
City A
The Avengers headquarters.
The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like it could drip water.
Xiao Fan sat on his skeletal throne, silent, his face terrifyingly gloomy.
Below the main hall, the core members remained silent, not daring to even breathe.
The crushing defeat in the battle for the granary was like a resounding slap in the face to everyone.
Not only did they lose nearly a third of their elite troops, but more importantly, they shattered Xiao Fan's myth of "invincibility" for the first time.
Some discordant voices have begun to emerge within the alliance.
"Boss, this time... this time it's my fault! I underestimated the enemy and acted rashly, which led me to fall into their trap! Please punish me, boss!"
Wang Hao, nicknamed "Earth Dragon," knelt on one knee, his face filled with shame and self-reproach.
Xiao Fan slowly raised his eyelids, his golden eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
"It's not your fault!"
His voice was hoarse and cold.
"It was me; I underestimated that 'ghost' once again."
He stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, his mind racing.
This failure completely calmed him down.
He began to review each of his encounters with "Ghost".
From the Kunlun Mountains to this battle for the granary.
That "ghost" was like an all-knowing phantom, fully aware of all his actions.
Who is he?
How did he manage to do that?
Xiao Fan ruled out all possibilities and finally came to a conclusion that even he found alarming.
That "ghost" must be among the high-ranking officials in the Dragon Kingdom!
Moreover, his position is definitely not low! He may even be the core decision-maker of the so-called "Spark Project"!
Only in this way can we explain why he was able to mobilize the Dragon Kingdom's army and set up such an ingenious trap.
"I see……"
A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes.
"You're hiding in the shadows, aren't you?"
"You want to make a fool of me, don't you?"
"Good...very good!"
"Since you won't come out, then I'll force you to!"
A wicked plan quickly took shape in his mind.
He planned to turn the tables on him, using the "Ghost's" omniscient intelligence capabilities to set a deadly trap for him!
……
a few days later.
Su Chen, who was sparring with Qin Bing in the training room, suddenly stopped.
His gaze fell upon the barrage of comments in front of him.
A bold, highlighted comment suddenly appeared; the poster was none other than Xiao Fan.
"Damn it, I can't take over the grain depot in City C, so I'm not going to fight them head-on anymore! The armory in City D is even more laxly guarded, I'm going to take it down tonight! Come and stop me if you dare!"
】
This comment was filled with frustration and recklessness, much like a gambler who, after losing everything, wanted to bet his entire fortune on one last gamble.
"Advisor, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Su Chen suddenly stopped, Qin Bing also withdrew her attack and asked in confusion.
Su Chen looked at the comment and smiled.
"It's nothing, the fish looks like it's about to bite."
He activated the "Heart of the Prophet" and focused his attention on the armory in City D.
In an instant, a clear, three-dimensional map of the battlefield appeared in his mind.
He saw that the armory was surrounded by countless red dots representing members of the "Avengers".
They lurked in the shadows of every building and along every possible thoroughfare, forming an inescapable net.
At the heart of the encirclement was Xiao Fan himself.
He was hiding atop a clock tower with his strongest A-level fighters, their eyes fixed on the entrance to the armory.
"Encircle and ambush reinforcements?"
Su Chen saw through Xiao Fan's scheme at a glance.
This trap was indeed very ingeniously set up.
As soon as the Dragon Kingdom's troops appear and enter the encirclement, Xiao Fan's main force will immediately descend from the sky and strike the Dragon Kingdom's commander with lightning speed.
Once the commander is captured, he can follow the clues and interrogate him to find out everything about "Ghost".
"Trying to capture me? Not a bad idea."
Su Chen's smile deepened.
One can even imagine Xiao Fan hiding in some corner, looking smug as he waits for them to take the bait.
"Too bad, you're still too green to play the intelligence game with me."
Qin Bing suddenly received the message and immediately asked, "Advisor! There's enemy activity at the D City armory! Should we immediately dispatch the 'Ice Phoenix' brigade to provide support?"
"Support? No, not needed."
Su Chen leaned back lazily in his chair, his tone as relaxed as if he were arranging a picnic.
"Just send a drone over there."
"A drone?" Qin Bing was stunned. "What can a drone do?"
"Hang up a loudspeaker." Su Chen's tone carried a hint of barely suppressed mischievousness.
"Once we get over the armory, don't do anything else, just play 'The March of the Heroes of the Dragon Kingdom' on repeat."
"Turn the volume up to the maximum, fly over there, circle the armory a few times, and then come back."
"Huh?" Qin Bing was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of operation is this?
Is this a war?
Or should we hold a concert?
Although she couldn't understand it at all, she carried out the order without hesitation.
……
D City, an abandoned armory.
It was late at night.
Xiao Fan and his men had been lying in ambush in the cold wind for a full day and night.
Everyone remained absolutely silent, their nerves stretched to the limit.
"Boss, it's been so long, why haven't the people from the Dragon Kingdom arrived yet?" one of the subordinates couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Xiao Fan snapped coldly. "Wait!"
He believed that the "ghost" would definitely come!
If the other party knows him very well, they will definitely know that he posted this comment.
Given their arrogant personality, they would never let go of this opportunity to "beat a dog when it's down"!
They must be mobilizing troops; they might arrive any minute!
Just then, a strange buzzing sound came from the distant night sky.
coming!
Xiao Fan's spirits lifted, and all his subordinates instantly gripped their weapons tightly.
The sound grew closer and louder.
But... doesn't that sound like a helicopter?
Immediately afterwards, a stirring melody, full of revolutionary optimism, pierced the silent night sky.
The resounding singing, like thunder, exploded in everyone's ears.
Xiao Fan and his men were all dumbfounded.
They looked up and stared blankly at a small drone with a large loudspeaker attached to it.
It was swaying and hovering above their heads, swaying its head.
The stirring song played on repeat, echoing throughout the ruins.
At that moment, the faces of all the Avengers members turned green.
His expression was worse than if he had swallowed a fly.
They spent a whole day and night lying in ambush here, and this is what they got in return?
What are they doing?
humiliation!
Naked humiliation!
Xiao Fan stared blankly at the drone until it ran out of power and flew away unsteadily.
All around, there was a deathly silence.
He got it.
That "ghost" not only knew his plan, but also knew that his plan was a trap!
They had no intention of sending troops at all!
They simply sent a helicopter to tell me:
"I know you're waiting for me, but I'm not coming. Ugh, I'm just having fun!"
"puff--!"
Humiliation, anger, frustration... all sorts of emotions rushed to Xiao Fan's mind in an instant.
He could no longer control himself, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.
"asshole!!!"
He let out a beastly roar and slammed his fist hard against the stone wall beside him!
"Snap!"
The sturdy stone wall shattered instantly!
"That bastard! He's playing me!!!"
