The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004 Wait Until the Real Show Begins 

Robin surveyed the 198 elite warriors, divided into 20 neat columns. 

“Before entering the Mystic Realm, Professor McKenny emphasized the rules of the semifinals,” he began, his voice steady and commanding. 

“In this Mystic Realm, there are no concepts of countries or regions–there is only one concept: Star Troopers.

“We’re about to face an interstellar war more brutal than anything we’ve ever experienced. 

“Forget the competition. Leave behind your preconceptions and embrace your duty as Earth’s defenders. Face the unknown dangers and fears before you. 

“So, from this moment on, remember the mission of the Star Troopers! 

“As Commander–in–chief of the LI Mystic Realm Semifinals,” Robin continued, his voice growing sharper, “I will lay down the discipline!” 

“Disobey orders–you die! 

“Shake the morale of the troops–you die! 

“Flee from the battlefield, cowardice–you die! 

“Betray the Star Troopers–you die! 

“Betray your comrades–you die!” 

The howling winds and swirling sand raged across the desolate, cold island. 

In the distance, the dark woods echoed with the terrifying growls of unseen beasts. 

Above, the billions of stars in the night sky glowed with eerie, ghostly light… 

Everything seemed to stir in restless anticipation, yet there was also an unsettling stillness, as if the world were holding its breath. 

After delivering the military code of conduct for the Star Troopers, Robin pointed toward a man at the front of the Crimsonland Special Forces unit. “State your name and rank!” 

The man stood at attention. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, I am Colonel Alfonso Parks, the commanding officer of the Crimsonland Special Forces.” 

“Colonel Parks,” Robin said, “I hereby assign you to replace Hammond as commander–in–chief of Crimsonland Special Forces.” 

“Inderstood!” Alfonso renlied immediately

After a brief pause, Robin announced, “Each team will now reorganize to form a unified Star Troopers force, under one command, to adapt to the overall combat strategy.” 

Simmond, commander–in–chief of King Hawk Special Forces, spoke up, “Commander–in- chief Ramsey, reorganizing the 20 teams will certainly facilitate unified command. However, I have a question–may I ask it now?” 

“Go ahead!” Robin scanned the elite members of all 20 teams. “You have 30 seconds.” 

“If the teams are reorganized, how will the final champion be decided?” Simmond asked, voicing what everyone was thinking. 

Robin pointed to the LI Mystic Realm custom battle suits they all wore. “This suit has a scoring chip. After each warrior completes various tasks within the Mystic Realm, the system will assign scores. 

“Of course, we can’t see the scores in real–time. The final scores will only be revealed after the entire competition is over. 

“So, you don’t need to worry about that. 

“Once again, forget everything that came before. Enter combat mode immediately! 

“I hereby declare the L1 Mystic Realm to be in a state of war! 

“All teams, listen up–select one intelligence officer from each team to step forward! 

“Freya of Dragon Soul Special Forces, step forward! 

“I appoint you as the head of the Star Troopers Intelligence Unit in the LI Mystic Realm. Your task is to gather all the information on this space island. 

“Lead your intelligence team to thoroughly understand the situation on this barren island. 

“Using your equipment, you have one hour to map out the island’s topography and landscape.” 

“Understood!” Freya immediately accepted the command, leading her team of 19 intelligence officers into the howling sandstorm. 

Reynold, commander–in–chief of the Centraline Special Forces, stepped forward. “I have something to say! 

“Commander–in–chief Ramsey, there’s a realm master guarding the L1 Mystic Realm. We can request the maps and details of the island from them. Why waste our manpower on such a 

task?” 

Pierre also nodded in agreement. “Yes, Commander–in–chief Ramsey, I share the same 

opinion.”

Robin paused for a moment, then responded, “I can’t answer that question right now.” 

Reynold, still unsatisfied, was about to press further.

Alexander from Tanqueria Special Forces clapped him on the shoulder and whispered, “Listen to Commander–in–chief Ramsey. He’s always right.” 

Reynold, still confused, asked, “What do you mean, Alexander?” 

Alexander shrugged. “You’re an idiot. I’m not going to tell you! 

“Just as Commander–in–chief Ramsey said, some things are best left undisclosed.” 

Reynold furrowed his brow, trying in vain to figure out what was going on. 

Pierre shook his head and pointed toward a distant, barely visible, quiet castle. 

That was where the L1 Mystic Realm’s realm master resided. 

According to the rules of the competition, the Star Troopers were not allowed to approach it. 

Doing so would trigger an automatic defense system, resulting in an attack from the realm master’s guards. 

Reynold’s jaw dropped, and he nodded in stunned realization. 

“Simmond from King Hawk Special Forces, and Alfonso from Crimsonland Special Forces, listen up! Lead your teams and gather supplies, then set up the Star Troopers‘ main camp two miles northwest of the Dark Woods!” 

Simmond and Alfonso were both stunned into silence. 

The elite members of their teams were just as perplexed. 

The Dark Woods was home to terrifying beasts, and Robin was telling them to set up their base right next to it. 

Wasn’t this essentially putting Star Troopers directly in the attack range of the island’s most dangerous creatures? 

This strategy seemed like a recipe for disaster! 

Before any external forces could even arrive, the Star Troopers might already be wiped out by the wild beasts. 

“Do you intend to disobey orders? You will carry out this command without question!” Robin’s voice rang out, sharp and commanding. 

Simmond and Alfonso exchanged a glance, took the construction plans from Robin, and
