As they made their choices, they quickly filled out the registration form while everyone was also doing the sa after making their choices.
"What are you going to pick?" a person asked the lady beside him.
"? I can only register for recon. You know, my parents are against joining this kind of cult. They would break my legs if they found out," the lady said.
"In that case, you might as well YOLO and go for assault if they are going to break your legs anyway," the person encouraged.
However, the lady quickly replied, "Are you crazy? In that case, they wouldn't just break my legs. They will kill !"
As the crowd discussed their choices and made up their minds before handing in their registration forms, the tally eventually ca out after they were assessed.
Without any surprise, 70% of the crowd chose recon while 20% logistics. Only a re 10% chose assault, but it was still a higher count than Jeffrey anticipated.
"Four new assault mbers, huh? This is a pleasant surprise," Jeffrey muttered as he spoke to his fellow team, "I was only expecting one or two out of this crowd to join the assault group. Nevertheless, you guys should quickly get them sorted into their chosen roles."
"I will contact the upper managent for further instructions. If there are any spies, information on our recruitnt would have reached the peacekeeping forces by now. So we need to wrap up matters here quickly and scatter before they arrive."
"Understood," the official mbers complied before dividing the crowd into their three groups.
However, a person remained behind before he said to the assault leader, "Speaking of the peacekeeping forces, I heard they seem to be planning to make a move on the Silvercove Guardian. I think we are safe for now."
"The Silvercove Guardian?" Jeffrey paused with a frown for a mont before he asked, "That timid dragon that resides on the offshore island?"
"Yes, exactly that thing. It seems like the peacekeeping forces are determined to ta it to control it instead of leaving a potential hazard lying around," the person said.
Jeffrey's frown deepened before he spat, "They are playing with fire."
"Although I don't know how strong the dragon has grown with all that interdinsional creatures it preyed on in the area, I do know that so things shouldn't be forced. If it's not our enemy now, we shouldn't make it our enemy."
"Well, it's the peacekeeping forces, after all," the person shrugged before he joked, "If you have a complaint, then you should bring it up with them. Perhaps, they will listen to you."
"Yeah, listen to , then lock up for so torturous interrogation," Jeffrey rolled his eyes before spitting, "I'm good, thanks."

Silvercove City, offshore
At that mont, the peacekeeping force's plan was already in motion as they had Dragon Island surrounded with their troops.
"Captain Nikolai, the n are all in position," a peacekeeping soldier reported after receiving the news from the other soldiers through the walkie-talkie.
"Good!" Captain Nikolai nodded with a firm look.
As he gazed at Dragon Island in the distance from his boat, he quickly gave the order, "Have our n tighten the encirclent and ready their nets for the capture imdiately!"
"Yes, captain!" the peacekeeping soldier imdiately complied.
But before the soldier could relay the orders to the other soldiers through the walkie-talkie, Captain Nikolai quickly reminded, "And rember! Our goal is to ta the dragon, not to kill it!"
"But what if the dragon reacts violently during the process of trying to capture it and tries to kill our n, captain?"
"Then we have no choice but to use excessive force and beat it into submission. But, unless I give the order, no one should deliver it a fatal blow, understand?" Captain Nikolai stated with a firm tone while casting his greedy eyes on Dragon Island.
If he could ta the dragon as his own pet, he would definitely beco a hero among the people.
"Understood, captain!"
Shortly after, the order was delivered to the peacekeeping forces surrounding the island before their dozen ships steadily advance until they reached the island's shores.
"Update!" Captain Nikolai demanded.
"Our n have just reached the shore, but the dragon has yet to be alerted, sir!" the informant reported clearly with discipline.
"Oh? Is it sleeping?" Captain Nikolai muttered with a surprise before he furrowed his brows for a mont and said, "Given the dragon's timid nature, it would have been alerted by now. If it's asleep, then…"
After pondering for a mont, Captain Nikolai demanded, "Give so satellite support. What's the situation on the dragon?"
"Sir, it is as you guessed. The dragon is asleep," the informant shortly after receiving intel from the satellite.
Captain Nikolai's eyes lit up imdiately.
"Such perfect timing! Ready the nets and have the n proceed with the plan now!" Captain Nikolai ordered before adding, "We will also be approaching the island. For such an important mission, I don't want there to be any delay in our chain of command."
"Yes, sir!"
The orders were quickly passed down before the peacekeeping soldiers advanced towards the island's center, where the titled Silvercove Guardian was resting.
Everything seed to be progressing smoothly as the peacekeeping soldiers inched closer and closer to the island's center.
But as they ca within a 100-yard radius on the dragon, it quickly picked up the scent of humans before its eyes snapped open.
Roar!
The dragon imdiately gave a majestic and mighty roar before taking to the skies with a powerful flap of its wings, causing strong winds to blow out in all directions from its take-off point.
"Captain, the dragon has awoken and taken flight to escape!"
"Send everyone in and cast the nets now! Don't let it reach high altitude! Otherwise, this mission will be a failure!" Captain Nikolai thundered.
"Yes, sir!"
Swish, swish, swish~!
The dragon's wings were quickly caught by several large black nets after the peacekeeping soldiers rushed in and fired them!
Roar!!!
The dragon issued another mighty roar, but it was evidently panicked and afraid as it violently struggled to break free from the nets.
Even so, its desperate roars reached the city and alard the people!
