The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1305

The moment Robin boldly declared war against Criele on the internet, panic gripped the heart of New Deli, Criele's political, economic, and cultural center.

Just 30 minutes ago, the world had watched in stunned silence as Divine Drakebane, in real-time, tore through Autreynian forces in a ferocious display of unstoppable power.

That godlike crushing force left no doubts: no militant group on the planet dared challenge Divine Drakebane again.

Yet, inside the grand halls of the New Deli Palace, those few ambitious schemers still sat confidently. How could their minds be that bloated with arrogance? Did they believe their military strength had already surpassed that of the world's former overlord, Autreynia?

Otherwise, why would they pull such a mind-numbingly foolish move?

Barely a minute passed before the internet exploded with tragic footage of Criele's Saint Warriors aircraft carrier fleet being annihilated. Immediately afterward, videos surfaced showing all five of Criele's five major navy bases being wiped out by light-speed warships.

The New Deli was instantly thrown into chaos, like a pot of boiling oil spilling over its edges.

In less than ten minutes since the resurrection of the light-speed warships, Robin had already erased decades of Criele's carefully cultivated maritime defense. How long could Criele's five military zones' defenses even last?

Panic surged all across New Deli like wildfire on bustling streets, in financial hubs, and in crowded districts. Cars blared their horns as people shouted out for their families, and fled the city together in a mad dash.

The thieves who had been lurking in the shadow were all dispatched and began to frantically snatch whatever they could get as if they had received an assembly order.

Lines snaked out of major banks as desperate citizens tried to withdraw cash. Even armed robbers took their shot, storming banks in broad daylight.

The entire New Deli looked like it had fallen into the apocalypse.

All the people, regardless of whether they had money or not, quickly followed the tide of people and rushed out of the city together.

"Attention all citizens! Please remain calm and do not panic! The National Armed Forces will protect every one of you with their lives!"

A line of armored vehicles, each equipped with missile launchers, rolled into New Deli. Their orders were to protect the Prime Minister's office and the two Houses of Parliament.

At exactly 4:04 p.m., the light-speed warships appeared, hovering above New Deli's skies.

All eyes on earth turned to one place. The entire planet held its breath, waiting for the nightmare to begin.

Inside New Deli's National Defense Force Command Center, the core leadership of Criele was locked in an emergency meeting, but not a single voice dared break the silence.

They already knew that all military deployment was meaningless now.

Jolgeir, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces barked, "That Divine Drakebane has gone too far! Mr. Norde and Mr. Strand, we can't hesitate any longer. Forget civilian safety and order all five military zones to launch a full assault on the light-speed warships!"

However, Speaker of the National Assembly Cyvany shook his head in despair. "No. No! Don't you get it? Our missiles are useless against Divine Drakebane's fleet. Even Autreynia's nukes couldn't take those ships down. Our outdated junk isn't even worth mentioning in comparison.

"If we act recklessly now, we'll only cause more civilian casualties. If panic breaks out everywhere, we're finished. And I don't mean just our military zones or bases—I mean us, everyone in this room!"

At that moment, a live feed flickered onto the intelligence screen. Robin appeared, calm as ever, speaking directly to them.

"Gentlemen, in ten seconds, your southern military zone will be hit by a rain of 300 missiles. That includes 18 army groups, 3 armored divisions, 15 mountain divisions, 8 artillery divisions, 30 infantry divisions, and 5 rapid-response forces.

"There's no other way. You declared war against me first. I'm just returning the favor to strike back. In this game, I'll make the first move!"

All the strategists in the highest command center of the Criele's National Defense Force had not had time to respond, and the signal from the southern military zone was instantly interrupted. The screen of the southern military zone headquarters, which was previously in a video conference, was now filled with static.

Seconds later, satellite imagery came in. A sea of fire. The entire southern military zone had become an inferno. Even through a screen, the weight of helpless destruction pressed down like a suffocating wave.

Jolgeir, the supreme commander of Criele's highest military committee, roared, "Robin, you are a monster! The whole world will condemn you for this!"

Robin reappeared on screen with a faint laugh. "Wow, you don't play fair, do you?

"When you tried to kill me, it was called justice. Yet when I retaliate, suddenly I'm a villain. Let the world see your twisted logic for what it is. That pathetic face of yours is the real shame here.
