The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 978

Chapter 978 We Can't Afford to Provoke Them!
The battle wasn't over yet for the Dragon Soul Special Forces.

While the Sakuranian Special Forces were still in disarray, Elliott and Catherine quietly slipped past unnoticed, circling to their flank.

In a swift and coordinated move, both of them eliminated two members of the Sakuranian Special Forces, capturing their commander, Theodore, in a lightning-fast maneuver and bringing him back to the Dragon Soul Special Forces' lineup.

This tactic was known as "Catching the King"!

Seeing this, the remaining seven members of the Sakuranian Special Forces attempted to retaliate and reclaim their commander.

But Catherine's short blade was pressed firmly against Theodore's throat.

"Step back and drop your weapons!" Catherine barked, her voice cutting through the tension. "Otherwise, I'll let your commander die right here!"

The seven remaining members of the Sakuranian Special Forces had no choice but to obey Catherine's orders, stepping back and lowering their blades.

At this point, no other teams dared to approach.

Theodore and Melvin were stunned by what had just transpired—how they ended up captured by the Dragon Soul Special Forces.

They had originally come to intimidate this nearly all-young team, hoping to squeeze out some advantage.

But now, they had turned their own forces into a complete mess.

If the Dragon Soul Special Forces refused to release them, their entire participation in the international military skills competition would be over.

"Let us go!" Theodore and Melvin roared.

"Otherwise, our commander-in-chief will file a formal protest with the organizing committee. You'll be disqualified from the competition!"

Brendon stepped forward and kicked Melvin hard in the chest. "Our commander-in-chief said that no matter the consequences, we'll take down every single provoker!

"In other words, there's no hope for you to continue in this competition.

"But we might not be done yet.

"Enjoy the air of this mystic realm while you can. After your conceptual deaths, your military careers will be over."

At the L2 Mystic Realm Command Center.

Surman, the commander-in-chief of the Peacock Kingdom Wild Wolf Special Forces, and Cary Barber, the commander of the Sakuranian Special Forces, urgently filed a formal protest with the competition's enforcement team.

They argued that the actions of the Dragon Soul Special Forces were a serious violation of the rules.

They demanded immediate intervention from the organizing committee, calling for the release of their commander and remaining members so they could continue in the competition.

Upon receiving the complaint, the enforcement team found themselves unable to make a quick decision.

The issue sparked a heated debate within the team.

One side argued that the Dragon Soul Special Forces had escalated a minor issue into an all-out battle, even eliminating Demberoa's Crocodile Special Forces entirely and taking control of both the Peacock Kingdom's Wild Wolf Special Forces and Sakuranian Special Forces. This nearly crossed the line of the competition rules.

The other side believed that the actions of the Dragon Soul Special Forces were a result of being attacked by multiple teams in their own territory, and they had been forced to defend themselves.

Such self-defense was understandable.

The debate continued without resolution.

Cyril immediately requested Robin to open the public communication channel. "Commander-in-chief Ramsey, the commanders of the Peacock Kingdom's Wild Wolf and Sakuranian Special Forces are jointly demanding the release of their mystic realm commander."

Robin's voice was cold and resolute. "Let them demand all they want. I'm not in the business of just giving in!

"This whole incident was caused by them, and they need to take responsibility for the consequences!

"Besides, they have no right to dictate our actions!"

Cyril paused for a moment before replying, "Commander-in-chief Ramsey, they have now filed a formal protest with the competition's enforcement team."

Robin responded directly, "Then I'll file a protest too!
