The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 1222 Kill Drakebane at All Costs!

Robin flung the battle blade, still slick with fresh blood onto the ground before Antonio.

Amid the chaotic, trampled snow, fresh blood continued to steam in the freezing air.

The 39K Armored Division, a force of over ten thousand elite soldiers, was obliterated in the blink of an eye–by their own most advanced weaponry and munitions.

Alexander, staring at Robin’s ruthless and imposing figure, suddenly dropped to his knees.

“Mr. Ramsey, I have something important to confess!”

Jane handed Robin a damp cloth, which he used to wipe away the mixture of blood and dirt on his hands. “You mean to say the Panacea Ocean Warrior Alliance made contact with you beforehand?”

With a solemn nod, Alexander lifted his gun and held it high in surrender.

“Mr. Ramsey, while I wasn’t directly involved in the missile strike on Snow Dragon Pool …

“I knew it was going to happen and failed to prevent it.

“Mr. Ramsey, I accept whatever punishment you decide”

At the bleak and devastated Black Ocean Special Assault Camp, frigid winds shrieked as plumes of fire and dense smoke filled the air.

Robin took the gun from Alexander, flipped off the safety, and pressed the cold muzzle against his forehead before pulling the trigger.

Click! The crisp sound of a firing pin striking an empty chamber echoed through the air.

“Stand up. Divine Drakebane doesn’t kill his comrades!” Robin shoved the reloaded magazine back into the gun and tossed it into Alexander’s hands.

“If I wanted you dead, you wouldn’t have lived past the Snow Dragon Pool attack!

“The real masterminds behind the missile strike are still out there. We don’t have time for your guilt!” Without hesitation, Alexander sprang to his feet and sprinted toward one of the few helicopters still intact.

“Mr. Ramsey! Ms. Neville! Mr. Anthony! This helicopter is still in good condition!”

As soon as he boarded, Robin leaped straight into the pilot’s seat. “Either Pietro goes down, or I’ll handle it myself!”

The armed helicopter lifted off, and in less than ten minutes, it closed in on Pietro, who was desperately fleeing eastward.

By then, Pietro had already sent an urgent message to Yakonov at the Northwest Defense Command Center, alerting him to the crisis unfolding near Borealis.

Wasting no time, Yakonov immediately ordered the nearby armored forces, the 118th Tank Armored Brigade, to mobilize and intervene.

This was no ordinary unit. It was a fully–equipped armored regiment, outfitted with heavy armored vehicles and tanks, and considered the most formidable force within the Northwest Defense Center.

When Robin’s helicopter caught up to Pietro’s convoy, Bullets rained down in a relentless assault.

Yet, Robin didn’t obliterate him outright. He had no intention of granting him a quick death.

He wanted to drag him out and end his life personally.

A brutal sweep of machine–gun fire shredded every police vehicle escorting Pietro..

Through the crackling audio feed, Pietro’s voice rang out in defiance. “Divine Drakebane, you won’t dare kill me!

“If I die, Tanqueria will never let you escape!

“Tanqueria is the strongest military force in this world!

“No one would ever dare cross our line!”

Robin scoffed. “Whether Tanqueria spares me or not, it doesn’t matter in the slightest!

“If I choose to strike back, there’s no chance of a peaceful resolution!

“Pietro, do you have any idea what the ultimate form of security in this world is?

“If you don’t, I’ll make sure you learn a lesson about proper conduct before I end you!

“The greatest way to stay secure is to assert dominance over anyone foolish enough to challenge you.

“No one dares to cross Tanqueria! And even more so no one dares to provoke me! Now, die!”

Boom! With a deafening explosion, a missile struck Pietro’s armored vehicle, engulfing it in flames.

Captain Abdiel Quaice of the 118th Armored Regiment promptly relayed news of Pietro’s demise to Yakonov at the Headquarters.

At the Northwest Defense Command Center, Yakonov was left speechless upon reviewing the Borealis battle report.

This situation had escalated beyond control!

He commanded the 118th Armored Regiment to launch an all–out assault on Drakebane while pondering how to handle the inevitable interrogation from his superiors.

Within just a few hours, an entire elite armored division had been obliterated.

Half of Borealis’s defense forces had been dismantled.

During the relentless chase, Commander Pietro was eliminated by Drakebane.

With such a massive disturbance, the Headquarters should have already received the report.

Yet, at this crucial moment, no call had come in to demand an explanation.

Had the top–ranking generals simply decided to ignore it?

Suddenly, Yakonov had a realization.

The eerie silence from above could only mean one thing–they were watching from the sidelines. noveldrama

Regardless of how this situation played out, they would be the ones to determine the final outcome.

In other words, no matter what Yakonov did, there was only one outcome–death!

Pacing around the command center, he took deep pulls from his cigar, lost in thought.

After five minutes of intense deliberation, he made a high–stake decision–to commit every last soldier in the Northwest Defense Center to bring down Drakebane.

“Adjutant!” Yakonov commanded sharply.

“Seal off the Northwest Secret Intelligence Division and keep a close watch on all key figures, including Chief Mariovic!”

Once the adjutant led the guards away, Yakonov wasted no time.

He immediately instructed the Northwest Air Defense Unit to launch and provide air support to the 118th Armored Regiment in their mission to eliminate Drakebane.

However, instead of a swift response, his orders were met with unsettling silence.

Unbeknownst to him, three hundred Dark Web assassins had already infiltrated the area under Robin’s

command.

They had seized control of the airbase and rigged it with explosives, prepared to detonate one hundred fighter jets and annihilate the Northwest Defense Center at a moment’s notice.

As Yakonov assumed his forces were carrying out their missions, his adjutant suddenly burst into the command center in a rush.

“General Yakonov, urgent report! A major incident has occurred!”

Yakonov’s patience snapped. “What happened? Speak now!” he bellowed.

“Mr. Prunk from the Secret Intelligence Division, along with his entire team, departed 30 minutes ago, and their current location is a mystery.

“Our surveillance agents just sent word that he boarded a military cargo plane and returned to the Tanqueria High–command Headquarters!”

With a heavy thump, Yakonov slumped onto the couch.

At that instant, it dawned on him that Mariovic wasn’t just responsible for gathering intelligence for the Northwest Defense.

He also had another role: to keep a close watch on him, the chief of the Northwest Defense Center!

The Dark Syndicate and the Panacea Ocean Warrior Alliance had assured him.

If he managed to seize Drakebane, they would assist hi in steadily advancing through the ranks of Tanqueria’s political arena.

Mariovic must have gotten hold of this top–secret information!

The top intelligence division of Tanqueria was not to be underestimated.

They must have anticipated such a dangerous move long ago.

Those cunning and treacherous guys were imerely searching for someone to take the fall in order to eliminate Drakebane.

A chill ran down Yakonov’s spine as sweat glistened on his forehead.

If that’s the case, then the only option left was to go all in. Perhaps there’s still a chance to carve a way out.

And that meant going all out to kill Drakebane.

Once that’s done, a thousand reasons could be fabricated to explain away the Dark Syndicate’s affair.

As soon as Divine Drakebane was eliminated, the higher–ups would be too occupied to concern themselves with Yakonov.

At worst, he could argue that it had been an unavoidable course of action.

Right now, it was imperative to issue an absolute command to the 118th Armored Regiment and the Northwest Air Defense Unit–kill Drakebane at any cost
