The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 977

Chapter 977 Eliminated
When Robin's words were spoken, the Mystic Realm Command Center descended into an eerie silence.

The commanders-in-chief of the teams that had interfered with and provoked the Dragon Soul Special Forces were left in stunned disbelief, unsure of how to respond to Robin's uncompromising and reckless approach.

They had grossly underestimated the Dragon Soul Special Forces' tolerance for provocation and their willingness to retaliate. In their experience, the Dragon Soul Special Forces, apart from the era of Young Lord Dragon, had never been this aggressive.

These teams had planned to exploit what they assumed was a perpetually docile Dragon Soul unit. Instead, this young Dragon Soul commander-in-chief had responded with immediate, decisive action, leaving no room for negotiation or retreat.

Robin wasn't concerned about the consequences or the potential fallout of offending so many teams. His orders were clear: launch a retaliatory strike on the offending teams. To make matters worse—or perhaps more deliberate—Robin had activated the public broadcast button while issuing the command, ensuring that everyone heard his unyielding stance and resolve.

This bold move wasn't just a statement to the offending teams; it was a direct challenge to the international military skills competition committee itself.

After a brief stunned silence, Surman broke into a cold laugh.

"Commander-in-chief Ramsey, let me remind you—your impulsiveness is leading the Dragon Soul Special Forces to their doom.

"The conflict in your area is nothing more than a minor scuffle. There's no need to overreact like this.

"In the past, incidents like these would have been resolved through negotiations, with your external liaison officer advocating for a peaceful resolution. Once the competition ended, any violations would be addressed at the negotiation table. That was your usual approach.

"But now, if you disregard this precedent and allow Dragon Soul Special Forces to break the rules first, you're giving 20 other teams a valid reason to retaliate.

"One against many is never a fair fight.

"In simple terms, even if the Dragon Soul Special Forces are strong, they can't possibly defeat nearly 200 elite fighters in the arena. Your decision is rash and irresponsible!"

The Mystic Realm Command Center remained silent, including the competition committee, all waiting to see how Robin would respond. His command had undoubtedly shaken the authority of the competition's enforcement team.

Surman's warning was echoed by the enforcement team, who secretly hoped to see the Dragon Soul Special Forces suffer a setback. It would serve as a reminder that arrogance often leads to downfall.

No one believed that a mere ten members of the Dragon Soul Special Forces could stand a chance against nearly 200 elite competitors.

Robin's voice broke the silence. "Words are meaningless. Let's settle this in combat." With that, he turned off the public broadcast system.

The Mystic Realm Command Center erupted in disbelief.

Robin had left no room for negotiation—his intent to fight to the end was unmistakable.

After their initial shock, the commanders-in-chief and committee members shook their heads in ridicule. To them, Robin's approach was nothing short of suicidal, an impossible task that would surely fail.

...

In Area Three, Gavin and Freya immediately relayed Robin's command.

"All Dragon Soul Special Forces members, hear this! We move forward!

"Anyone who dares block our path will be eliminated without hesitation. Reduce them to a mere memory."

The ten elite members of the Dragon Soul Special Forces drew their short blades and advanced swiftly.

Melvin, Zach, and Theodore simultaneously issued orders to prepare for counterattacks. The commanders of the remaining 17 teams followed suit, readying their forces for what promised to be an all-out clash.

However, instead of regrouping their teams immediately, they cautiously retreated, waiting for the right moment to act.

Before they could react, the elite members of the Dragon Soul Special Forces had already charged forward, closing the distance.

Following Freya's tactical plan, two Dragon Soul members flanked from the left and right, while one held the rear. The remaining seven charged straight at Demberoa's Crocodile Special Forces.

Zach and his team were stunned.
