As they approached the entrance to the base, they were spotted by the guards of the Dark Enforcer. A fierce battle immediately broke out. Though Dean Bruce and his team were formidable, the sheer number of guards quickly overwhelmed them, surrounding them on all sides.
"This isn't working," Dean Bruce said anxiously. "We need to find the core of the base and destroy it as soon as possible."
Putin Hawthorne stepped forward resolutely. "Master, let me distract them. You take the opportunity to infiltrate the base."
Dean Bruce hesitated but knew it was their only choice. He nodded grimly. "Be careful, Putin."
Acknowledging his master's words, Putin Hawthorne darted out into the fray, engaging the guards in a fierce fight. Meanwhile, Dean Bruce and the others seized the opportunity to slip into the base.
