"Understood! We'll follow orders without question!"

Bill, Talia, and George responded in unison, "We won't leave this arena until we've fought for the full ten minutes!"
Their powerful voices echoed with overwhelming momentum, shaking the arena and sending dust flying into the air.
Watching the trio's fiery determination, Gavin felt his own passion ignite in an instant.
Clenching his fists tightly, Gavin stepped forward and shouted with all his might, "Even if it means dying on this field, we'll hold out until the end!"noveldrama
The vast and silent sparring arena echoed with Gavin's impassioned shout.
Bill, Talia, and George all turned their gazes toward the middle-aged officer.
The dazzling noonday sun bore down on him, piercing his weary eyes-eyes that had been clouded with doubt and confusion for over a decade.
Tears shimmered, blurring the world around him into a haze of memories, transporting him back to the days of unrestrained passion and youthful vigor.
The sight of Bill and the others, brimming with determination and youthful ambition, was like a reflection of Gavin's younger self.
Bill, Talia, and George were caught off guard.
Under the scorching sunlight, they could clearly see the shimmer of tears in Gavin's eyes.
How could the usually stoic and seemingly unfeeling officer like him be moved to tears?
Even Franco furrowed his brow slightly.
"General Whalen, shall we begin?" Bill stepped forward and asked.
"Wait!" Franco gestured toward Gavin, his voice cold.
"Have the military equipment division prepare four sets of protective gear. You'll put them on before you fight!"
"What?" Bill was taken aback. "Wear protective suits and gear?"
"General Whalen, we don't need that. We never wear that stuff during our training."
"Don't worry, we've trained for so long and been in thousands of real-life combat situations. We know how to control our strength, and we won't hurt you in the final moments." Gavin's voice was sharp and cold as he commanded, "Bill, General Whalen told you to wear the gear, so do it. Stop wasting time!"
He knew that Franco was serious this time. He wanted to prevent any injuries, which was why he insisted

Earlier, Franco hadn't taken this match seriously, but Bill and the others had clearly provoked him.
Now, Franco was planning to use the opportunity to give them a real combat demonstration.
That meant he would go all out.

Bill and the others glanced at the protective gear sent over by the equipment division. "General Whalen, you should wear it. We'll go easy on you, we won't hurt you." Gavin snapped as he donned the gear, "General Whalen is concerned about you getting hurt. Put it on, now!"
"Injure us? That won't happen," Bill insisted.
"In our personal combat training, the first lesson was learning to take hits, I have the best resistance to strikes from that class...
"Do you still want to fight?" Franco's voice turned icy. "If you do, put the gear on, right now!"
Bill was about to argue again, but Robin intervened with a sharp command, "Bill, if you can't follow General Whalen's orders, step aside!" Reluctantly, Bill fell silent.
The four of them put on their protective gear, only to notice that Franco was still unprotected. "General Whalen, why aren't you wearing any?" Gavin shook his head, a smirk forming. Ignorance breeds fearlessness.
"You think you can even get close to General Whalen? How arrogant!"
"Forget who your opponent is, clear your mind of all distractions, and give everything you've got. Your only focus is to defeat him!"
"Start!" Franco shouted coldly.
Gavin quickly signaled the others to prepare for the attack.
The midday sun blazed down, dazzling and bright.
Franco's tall and slender figure, standing poised on the vast martial arts platform, created a picture of elegant grace. It was a constant reminder of the general's unwavering commitment.
A cool wind swept across Wolfsbane Summit, stirring up the dry, parched dust and rekindling the fierce, passionate spirit of the warriors who once filled this martial arena.
The wind stirred the general's loose battle attire, making it fluttered in the air.
Under the scorching mid-autumn sun, it sent an unexpected chill straight to the heart.
Bill and the others froze in surprise.
The once seemingly fragile General Whalen stood before them, transformed.
In that instant he stood like a towering mountain. niercing the sky a figure of strength beneath the

scorching sun!
Gavin was overcome with emotion, his entire body trembling, tears blurring his vision.

Franco's heroic aura at this moment was as powerful and unyielding as it had been in his youth!
For a fleeting second, the passionate fire of his youth surged once more.
It felt as though time had bent, and Gavin reached the peak of his strength once
more.

He pointed at Franco and shouted sharply, "All three of you, unleash your full strength, bring him down!"
In an instant, it was as if a fierce tiger led three vicious wolves charged madly toward Franco.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them were in front of him.
Simultaneously, their attacks struck from four different points, each one as swift and forceful as an arrow aimed directly at Franco.
The four of them gave everything they had, holding nothing back.
Each of the four attack points was deadly. Any one of them, if it broke through, would end his life in a single blow.
The speed of their attacks was so fast that before anyone could even react, their fists and feet were already within a fraction of an inch of Franco's body.
At that moment, Franco stood frozen, as though time itself had paused.
A fraction of a second-just one thousandth of a second-was all it would take to end the battle.
In that fleeting instant, Bill, Talia, and George saw the light of victory shining before them.
In the next fraction of a second, four brilliant bursts exploded like petals unfolding in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of four heavy thuds rang out as Bill, Talia, George, and Gavin were all thrown to the edge of the arena.
For a moment, each of them saw stars, their vision filled with dazzling flashes, as it took them a while to regain their senses.
The brief moments that had just passed felt like a blur, a strange illusion, making it hard to distinguish reality from fantasy.
It wasn't until the sharp pain in their chests set in that they realized everything that had just happened was real. What... what kind of move was that?
They looked up.
Under the scorching sunlight, the slender figure stood like a blade thrusting into the clouds, shining with a Dlinding, radiant glow
"Was that really General Whalen's strike?" Bill Talia and George exchanged bewildered glances.

The four of them had attacked together, yet they hadn't even seen how he moved before being sent flying about 15 or 20 feet.
How had General Whalen done that?
While they were still trying to make sense of it, Gavin suddenly gave Bill a swift kick in the butt.
"Forget everything else! Let go of all distractions and give it your all. There might still be a chance to push for a 70/30 or 60/40 split with General Whalen.
"No matter how strong the opponent, they all have weaknesses.
"General Whalen is tall, which means his lower body is his weak point.
"Remember, we're a team now. We need to work together. Who knows? Giving it our all might just create a miracle."
In an instant, Bill understood, and a plan began to form in his mind like a whirlpool of strategy.
Following Gavin's subtle cue, the four charged toward Franco once more.
Gavin went straight for Franco's upper body, while Talia and George attacked his left and right sides. Bill made a beeline for Franco's ear, aiming for his weak point. Bill made a direct attack on his rear end.
In a flash, the four fighters in the arena lunged at Franco like a pack of hungry wolves.
