The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 964

Chapter 964 In the Mystic Realm, Only Fists and Blades Count
After the motivational speeches from each team, the event organizers sent out an introduction to the competition environment and the tasks.

They gave each team commander five minutes to plan and organize their strategy.

The L2 Mystic Realm War Game Base had a total of 80 mission areas.

These areas were arranged in parallel and distributed evenly within the base.

Teams from 80 countries and regions around the world entered the corresponding areas to complete their tasks based on the numbers they drew.

The mission areas in the mystic realm consisted of plains, mountains, jungles, basins, canyons, and a deep-water lake.

Each participating team faced various dangers and unexpected challenges in these mission areas, with the goal of reaching the final destination.

The final destination was a jungle area inhabited by wild beasts.

There, the ultimate task goal—the electronic token for the next round of competition—awaited.

The top 20 teams that secured the token qualified for the next round.

Each team's members had to be the surviving elites, and they all had to reach the jungle destination containing the token for the next round in order to complete the task.

Teams ranked after 20th place were eliminated and were not eligible for the semi-finals.

The team commanders did not enter the mission areas with their teams.

However, they could observe and command from the control platform, entering each task area in a simulated, situational manner.

In each mission area, the commander could only give one command.

For the rest of the time, each team's on-site commander was in charge.

The maximum duration for this stage was 20 hours.

Teams that did not complete the task within the specified time lost their qualification for the next round.

The competition would end once the 20-hour mark was reached, regardless of the number of qualifying teams.

After familiarizing himself with the specific rules of this stage, Robin immediately devised an overall strategy for the key points of this preliminary round.

First, he appointed Gavin as the overall team leader for this preliminary round, with Freya as the vice-leader. The two of them were responsible for the on-site command decisions.

Second, Bill and Talia were appointed as the two vanguards, A and B, respectively. They were responsible for scouting the terrain and enemy situation ahead, protecting the energy supply in the next terrain, and preventing the opponent from sabotaging and attacking by wild beasts.

In order to conserve stamina and ensure the efficiency of the vanguards, Vanguard A will enter the second area first. Once the entire team has reached the second area, Vanguard B will enter the third area. This pattern will be repeated for each subsequent area.

Third, Robin appointed two logistics officers, Maverick and Brendon. They would be responsible for carrying the surplus supply energy from each stage. Robin established a rule: only half of the supply gathered from each area could be consumed, while the other half would be reserved. The logistics officers would be in charge of protecting and carrying this supply.

Fourth, George, Catherine, and Ernest were assigned to the rearguard mission. They were responsible for defending against enemy ambushes and energy theft during the journey, as well as fending off attacks from the base's ferocious beasts.

Fifth, Robin appointed Elliott as the free agent, with the flexibility to move as needed and directly respond to orders from the commander-in-chief at any time. All teams would communicate using the newly established code language to ensure the secrecy of the mission.

After making the overall deployment, Robin emphasized that the most crucial aspect of this battle would be the supply of energy. He suspected that the energy supplies provided by the mystic realm might not just be food and ammunition; they could very well be the secret weapon for advancing to the next stage.

Without sufficient supplies, the remaining tasks in the competition would deprive the entire team of the energy needed to continue moving forward.

In addition to emphasizing the importance of energy in this mission, Robin also focused on the possibility that opponents might use underhanded tactics to ambush or sabotage them.

Against such opponents, if they made any attempt to interfere with the team, the free agent would take all necessary actions to disrupt their progress.

Throughout the entire process, the principle will be: "If others don't harm me, I won't harm them."

Any provocation would prompt a firm counterattack, one that wouldn't cease until the opposing team was completely scattered.

Surviving in the mystic realm requires creating a sense of fear and awe in your opponents. Without it, the team would always be on the defensive.

Next, there were the wild beasts in the mystic realm.

This demanded that the soldiers perform well in the field.

Robin emphasized that this was not just any ordinary competition.

D*mn!

I was ambushed by these two women.
