Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 217: Chapter 142: Hidden in Plain Sight? What Kind of Master is This!

”???”

Listening to the content on the phone, Wang Fengyi wore a baffled expression.

He felt like he was becoming a bit unable to understand Great Xia’s language.

Their personnel had been wiped out by some enthusiastic citizens?

Are you even listening to the outrageous things you’re saying?!

You’ve got to know, the soldiers selected for this exercise were one in a hundred within the troops. Among them, Zhou Fan was the strongest. He was the King of Soldiers! Of course, this ’King of Soldiers’ isn’t like the ones in novels; it refers to elite soldiers, talented individuals with exceptional military skills.

He was the core of our Blue Team! And now you’re telling me that, including Zhou Fan, our soldiers were completely taken down by enthusiastic citizens, leading to our Blue Team’s direct defeat?

No, if they could do that, could they really just be enthusiastic citizens?

What’s this, ’King of Soldiers in the City’?

”You’re joking with me, right, Old Lv? This joke isn’t funny at all!” Wang Fengyi said, expressing his doubt.

This was simply impossible!

In response, Old Lv on the other end of the line sounded quite helpless. What he said was indeed true. Their command had just received a call from the Yanjing Police Department. Thinking about the contents of the call, Old Lv felt a surge of absurdity.

”That’s exactly how things went down. I have no reason to lie to you. The details are a bit complicated, but all your people have been taken to the police station by enthusiastic citizens.”

”If you don’t believe me, I could pass the phone to the Commanding Officer. He’s right next to me; you can ask him yourself?”

Worried that Wang Fengyi still wouldn’t believe him, Old Lv brought in the Commanding Officer, who was watching the entire exercise from the Directorate.

The Commanding Officer was also aware of how ridiculous this event was and found it hard to accept. So he spoke up, ”This is Zhao Ruchang. Colonel Lv is not deceiving you. Your people were indeed captured by enthusiastic citizens and delivered to the Yanjing Police Station. According to the rules, you have already lost this exercise. Now, come to the Directorate to gather. We’re going to the Yanjing Police Station to retrieve our people and understand what happened.”

”This... is...”

Hearing Zhao Ruchang’s voice, Wang Fengyi, despite his utter disbelief, had to admit it. His elite soldiers and the King of Soldiers, Zhou Fan, had been taken in barely an hour and a half after the exercise started.

What the hell...

Everyone says enthusiastic citizens possess all sorts of skills. I never took it seriously before, thinking it was just bragging. But today, they’ve really taught me a lesson!

How did *he* manage to get my handpicked elites and Little Zhou taken in?

HISS.

After hanging up, Wang Fengyi silently lit a cigarette, absorbing the shock of the incident.

The deputy commander, noticing Wang Fengyi’s strange expression, felt very puzzled. He had just taken a fruit plate from a soldier and handed it to Liu Pan.

What’s going on?

It was just a phone call. Why does the Commander look so lost now, not even issuing orders?

This is just giving the Red Team a chance!

Thinking this, the deputy commander spoke up to remind him, ”Commander, shouldn’t we prepare the battle plans now?”

He had thought his words would snap Wang Fengyi back to reality, prompting him to start directing their ’Hidden Dragon’ plan. But to his surprise, he was only half right.

His words did snap Wang Fengyi back to reality, but Wang Fengyi didn’t provide a battle plan.

Instead, he took the cigarette from his mouth, slammed it onto the ground, and exclaimed with a frustrated expression, ”Battle plan? Plan my ass! We’ve already lost!”

”Ah???”

Hearing Wang Fengyi’s words, everyone in the room was stunned. They all stopped what they were doing and turned to Wang Fengyi with baffled faces.

The deputy commander looked utterly perplexed. ”Lost? Commander, what do you mean? Didn’t we just start?”

”Yes, we just started, but we’ve already lost right at the beginning!”

The frustration on Wang Fengyi’s face deepened. He then relayed the phone conversation he’d had with Colonel Lv and Commander Zhao.

Upon learning that their personnel had been taken to the police station by enthusiastic citizens, everyone looked bewildered, unable to comprehend the situation.

But at that moment, the most bewildered of all had to be the Red Team, who had somehow stumbled into victory.

...

Meanwhile, in a tent pitched somewhere in the Suburbs of the Capital, a tense atmosphere pervaded. The red rooster emblems on their shoulders clearly identified them as members of the Red Team in this Red-versus-Blue exercise.

While his team bustled about, making plans to secure victory, Su Dakai, the Red Team’s Commander-in-Chief, hung up the phone. His expression was incredibly complicated as he thought about what he’d just heard on the call.

He looked at his bustling team members, gathered his thoughts, and then announced, ”Everyone, stop what you’re doing. There’s no need to prepare anymore!”

”What?”

Hearing this, the deputy commander beside him was taken aback. He looked at Su Dakai questioningly. ”Commander, what do you mean? Why stop preparing all of a sudden? Are you just going to hand them the victory?”

”Their Blue Team may have Zhou Fan, the King of Soldiers, who’s tough to catch, but our ’Sharp Knife’ squad is no less impressive!”

”Even if they hide well, we’re confident we can win! Besides, the leaders are observing this exercise from the Directorate. For you to act like this...”
