Chapter 1226 The Calm Before the Storm

Tanqueria’s National Security Bureau issued an urgent classified order.

Its elite super–soldiers, along with a specialized long–range armor–piercing sniper team, were immediately deployed to the Northwest Defense Base near the Draconian border.

A covert operation to assassinate Divine Drakebane was set into motion.

The Chief of the National Security Bureau, Valdemar, personally delivered the order to Tanqueria’s Supreme Command Center.

Upon receiving Valdemar’s request for military action, the high–ranking officials of the Security Command Center erupted into a fierce debate.

Two–thirds of them strongly opposed the risky operation.

They believed that further provoking Drakebane would put Tanqueria in an even more vulnerable position.

There was a serious risk of inciting the wrath of Draconian leaders, potentially damaging Tanqueria’s relationship with its most powerful ally.

However, the hawkish officials supporting Valdemar insisted that Tanqueria’s dignity could not be challenged.

No matter how powerful the enemy, Tanqueria would never back down.

Anyone who dared to violate Tanqueria’s sovereignty must be eliminated–no exceptions.

To that end, Tanqueria was prepared to pay any price to eradicate all provocateurs.

They were even willing to disregard international opinion and resort to restricted unconventional weaponry to eliminate their enemies outright.

The opposition, however, countered with equal ferocity. They argued that Valdemar’s approach was tantamount to fueling the flames, leading Tanqueria to its own destruction.

Drakebane’s attack had stemmed from Yakonov’s provocation.

Yakonov had colluded with the Dark Syndicate and the Panacea Ocean Warriors Alliance, attempting to use Drakebane’s assassination as a bargaining chip to advance his own ambitions,

Such actions were, in essence, a betrayal of Tanqueria.

Divine Drakebane’s violent assault on the Northwest Defense Base had been an act of personal vengeance, not a deliberate challenge to Tanqueria’s sovereignty.

The fact that he left immediately after killing Yakonov made his intentions clear.

If the National Security Bureau took direct action against Drakebane now, it would likely push him into an

even more frenzied retaliation.
