CHAPTER 433 MORE COMPLICATED
When Marin witnessed the sheer coldness and cunningness in Rocky's eyes, she almost froze for a
moment. Whenever she saw this kind of expression on his face, there would be something big waiting
to happen.
"I'll get ready right away." However, Rocky's words incited Marin to fight again. After so many days of
utter humiliation, this was her chance to avenge herself.
"When you leave, please help me call in Commander Ji," Rocky said.
Marin took a look at Rocky and felt very strange. The atmosphere surrounding him had a sudden
transition. Rocky was all out serious, but she was not sure about what was going on. Furthermore, at
that moment Rocky projected an aura of a powerful Commander.
"Commander Marin?" Rocky asked in a confused tone, as he saw Marin not leaving but looking at him
dazedly.
"Oh, I'll go now." Marin came back to her senses. She blushed and thought from her heart, 'What's
wrong with me? I can't believe I was staring at Rocky! The most important thing now is to get the Hippo
Land back. This time we must ensure the garrison of the Timber Deity Empire would experience the
real might of our Crimson Dragon Army!' Thinking about all this, Marin walked out of the Commander's
tent.
Not long after, Sabina walked in stone faced as usual. She had a quick glance at Rocky and then
asked, "What's the matter?"
"How about going for a walk inside the enemy's military camp tonight?" Rocky said light heartedly, but
with a hint of irresistible aura.
"Go for a walk? What do you mean?" Sabina asked with a wild frown after hearing what Rocky had
said. She had no clue on Rocky's intentions.
"Actually, I want you to protect me. After all, it's not safe for me to go to the enemy military's camp all
alone. However, with the protection of a master at the Supernal Stage like you, it would be a different
story!" Rocky made his intentions clear.
"You want me to protect you? Why should I do that?" Sabina snorted.
"Didn't you protect me last time?" Rocky sounded out.
"Did I?" Sabina glared at Rocky and tried to act like nothing had happened.
"Well, if you don't want to come with me, I won't force you. Tonight I'm going to burn the transportation
boats of the Timber Deity Empire..." Rocky smiled and continued.
"You want to burn the boats? Tonight?" Sabina seemed to be surprised by Rocky's sudden and
unexpected plan.
"Because I want to act rashly and alert the enemy!" Rocky said firmly with a shrewd twinkle in his eye.
Sabina hesitated for a moment when she heard Rocky and thought there was something more to it. It
seemed that Rocky had already devised a plan. So she walked out without saying anything else.
"What a soft-spoken woman!" Rocky smiled after seeing Sabina's attitude.
The Hippo Land fell silent with the onset of night. The soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army's camp on
the hillside had lit a bonfire so bright that the whole camp looked like a pearl on the mountain.
But, under the cover of these lights, Marin and her five thousand soldiers were quietly making their way
towards the Hippo Land. Just before the onset of their action, Rocky had already disclosed the exact
plan of attack to her. On hearing the ploy, she was really surprised because Rocky had already planned
everything from the beginning, including letting her lead feint against the Timber Deity Empire's
garrison a number of times. Moreover, the feint itself seemed an extremely important part of the
maneuver. As soon as she conceived his tactic, all her resentment had vanished.
Just as Marin and her five thousand soldiers were making their way into the Hippo Land, the Crimson
Dragon Army's camp on the hillside was making a deafening noise as a deception. Those figures were
jumping and dancing as if they were having a bonfire party.
The spy sent by the Timber Deity Empire relayed them back the information regarding the singing and
dancing they had witnessed. On receiving this information, Commander Wei passed on this information
to their great strategist, Woods.
"Mr. Mu, what do you think the Crimson Dragon Army is going to do?" Commander Wei was very much
confused with the recent actions of the Crimson Dragon Army. He was in serious doubt whether the
Crimson Dragon Army was still fighting or not. They were doing nothing but feinting attacks every day.
Adding to this, now they were making such ridiculous noise at night. It seemed less like fighting and
more like playing.
"We need to be patient. If they don't act, we patiently watch and wait... Everything the Crimson Dragon
Army does is to confuse and then lower our guard. In that case, we must be more alert," Woods
completed in a calm voice. However, he had a flicker of doubt too, as the Crimson Dragon Army was
slow in launching a real offensive.
He thought with a little worry, 'After this calm, it would be a storm.'
"But..." Commander Wei had his plans to initialize and then lead the offensive directly against the
Crimson Dragon Army, owing to their current weakness. This would also nullify any advantages that the
Crimson Dragon Army would gain in the future.
"Commander Wei, you must remember not to look down upon the enemy! Or else we will lose very
badly!" Woods said.
At the same moment, through the undefended treacherous swamp of the Timber Deity Empire's
garrison, a figure hurtled, brushing away the leaves rapidly and approached the camp.
Soon after another figure too appeared besides the first one.
"Here you are!" Rocky fixed his eyes on the cool woman beside him.
She was none other than Sabina.
"I'm not here to protect you!" Sabina glanced at Rocky and then she continued, "I'm afraid about you
failing in your mission and then screwing up the whole action. So, to be on the safer side, I am here to
make sure that your mission succeeds."
Rocky immediately shook his head and smiled. He thought, 'When will this woman be more honest?'
"But, didn't the Timber Deity Empire defend themselves here?" Sabina looked around warily with a
frown.
"The marsh is a natural barrier. It has already been a natural defense in itself! Only spirit manipulators
could get in and out of here safely. Ordinary people could never get out safely if they get in!" Rocky All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
explained with a smile.
"It is true. However, at least there should be some spirit manipulator's guardians," Sabina said.
"Even if they send more spirit manipulator's guards, they encounter some superiors like you. They can
never make it alive," Rocky said meaningfully.
"What kind of superior am I? I'm not even close to my master!" Sabina said with coldness.
"Your master? Who is your master?" Rocky could not help but ask. He thought in his heart, 'If Sabina
possesses the enough strength to enter the ranks of the strong in the Holy Dragon Empire, then her
master probably would be one among the best masters in the world! Who could that be? Could it be
someone I know?'
"Why are you asking so many questions? Wait a minute!" Sabina said angrily. At that moment, she
suddenly felt something and stopped.
On seeing this Rocky followed her and stopped.
Sabina leapt lightly into the overhead branches. A moment later, she jumped down and said, "There
are some spirit manipulator's guards ahead." After saying that, Sabina looked at Rocky with a smirky
look.
"What? Last time I was here, there were no spirit manipulator's guards. Is it because..." Rocky thought
for a while and suddenly his eyes became serious. The handsome man he had met the other day came
to his mind. He understood that fearing he would use the same route again, the handsome man had
sent the spirit manipulator's guards to watch over the marsh area.
