CHAPTER 451 TOO BAD TO BE SAVED

Rocky felt indifferent as the strange glances came from the people around him. While he withdrew his

eyes, he found where Sabina was.

Sabina was standing next to Uriah and Rubygon, and there was gauze wrapped on Rubygon's body.

He thought that someone took good care of his spirit-manipulated beast.

Rocky walked straight towards them. Both Uriah and Rubygon cheered up when they noticed that their

master came closer, the excitement was evident on their faces.

Sabina turned around to where Rubygon and Uriah were looking, and she found out that it was Rocky.

Her eyes stared at him coldly. "So, looks like you're all right, aren't you?" she asked in a cold tone.

"Yes. I guess I'm okay and feeling fine because of your kind bless!" Rocky replied in a funny tone,

regardless of how cold Sabina responded to him. "By the way, what happened yesterday on the

battlefield?" he added.

"You don't remember anything?" Sabina queried with a confused look on her face. She quite not

understood why he asked such a question right now.

"Not so much, I could only recall a few," Rocky said. He could only remember a fragmented part of the

whole event yesterday. But he barely knew nothing about that part where Sabina saved his life at the

end.

"Oh, that," Sabina responded in a flat tone. Her cold face showed that she cared nothing about whether

Rocky was alive or not.

"I guess I was out of control again, wasn't I?" He stated as his eyes became sharp. Deep in his heart,

he already had an answer to his question. This was not the first time that he encountered something

like this. Due to that, he familiarized the feelings during the first time, it was like being engulfed in a

flash by endless darkness.

"Again? What did you mean? Have you ever been like this before?" Sabina asked. She was puzzled

and surprised by his statement.

"I had another time when I encountered the same situation just like what happened yesterday." Rocky

nodded his acknowledgment in a calm tone. He recalled the day when Marcia forcibly sealed the power

of the Holy Dragon Bead inside his body. After that, he became an ordinary spirit manipulator from a

royal spirit manipulator, with a much lower level of power. He kept a grudge on Marcia ever since she

took away Rocky's identity as a royal spirit manipulator by sealing his inner power. However, after

experiencing the mutation of his body once again, he understood now why she had to put the nine-

layer seal upon him. Because if she hadn't done so, he would be devoured by the evil forces inside him

quickly once he lost control of his body.

Sabina understood right away why her master Marcia asked her to come with the Dragon Twined

Wood and protect Rocky back then because Marcia predicted that the evil power inside Rocky's body

would blast off again.

However, Sabina could not understand why her master would care so much for Rocky. She had never

seen her master offer so much help to any other man before. What was more, the Frozen Wind Dagger

was now in Rocky's hand, which meant a lot to Marcia. Sabina heard from Marcia before that the

Frozen Wind Dagger had been given to someone else, she had no idea that it was Rocky who now

owned it. That was why she was curious about the relationship between her master and Rocky Bai.

She could not figure it out but what she knew, for now, was the secrets Rocky carried on his back were

way heavier than what she could imagine.

"How did you make it?" Rocky asked, and he fixed his eyes on her. He didn't ask directly but Sabina

understood what it meant.

"Well, I have my way to do that. That's none of your business, just mind your own," Sabina replied with

an expressionless look on her face. She did not want to let Rocky know that her master was Marcia.

So, she wanted to cut the conversation quickly because it might be too risky if she let him know her real

identity. It would bring her a lot of trouble while completing the tasks that her master had assigned to

her, she then threw a cold glance at him and was about to leave right away. On top of that, she couldn't

bear to see Rocky standing in front of her. Because the longer she watched him, the more details she

would recall about yesterday. Sabina couldn't help thinking about how he fell on her chest, which made

her ashamed so much. She had to suppress her anger to prevent herself from beating him due to

violation.

Rocky knew it was not easy for Sabina to reveal to him, and he realized that he would know nothing if

Sabina was not willing to tell him more. So, instead of asking, he put on a slight smile on his face.

"Anyway, thank you for giving me a helping hand yesterday!" he added. Rocky said it in his most

sincere tone and looked in her eyes. He was indeed thankful for Sabina. If she didn't show up and help

him, the consequence and outcome would look disastrous.

Regardless of how sincere he looked, Sabina, on the other hand, remained her cold face. "Well, Marin

is a nice girl. You have to be good to her!" she suddenly blurted out.

She turned and left before Rocky could understand what she meant.

"What? Do you guys understand what she talked about?" Rocky turned and looked at Uriah and

Rubygon confused. He had no idea why Sabina said something like that.

Meanwhile, the news about Rocky led the army to successfully regain the field of Hippo Land had been

sent to the frontline of the Crimson Dragon Army by Carrier Beast as soon as it could. Lance

immediately called all the Elite Commanders and Frontline Commanders in the military camp for a

meeting after he heard the news.

"I can't believe Rocky captured a strategic position so soon!"

"I agree with you. We tried three times there before and could not make it to hold the field of Hippo

Land in the end, but he did it."

"It's very important for us to recapture the Hippo Land this time. As we all know, it is the hub of several

strategic sites. What's more, the recapture of Hippo Land is helpful for Crimson Dragon Army to

enhance troop morale!"

At the commander's tent, almost everyone inside stated their points of view on this great victory. In

addition to the excitement, there were also surprise evident on their faces.

They were astounded for a reason. The Crimson Dragon Army fought continuously to recapture Hippo

Land three times, but with no lucks in the end. However, it was the first time that Rocky tried to do so, it

only took him several days to complete this tough task and he made it easily. No wonder why everyone holds text © rights.

was shocked about the news. Crimson Dragon Army had been in a weak position for so long. The

recapture of Hippo Land meant a lot because it made it possible for the army to have different strategic

sites nearby cooperate during battle.

Even Lance admired his wise decision of letting Rocky lead the army. It was a very wise choice and he

was glad he had done that.

"Father, now that we have recaptured Hippo Land, what is the next step?" Isis asked with a joyful face.

Although she had some different opinions when her father wanted Rocky to lead the army back then,

she couldn't deny that he was indeed a skillful person. Nevertheless, she did not expect that Rocky

would complete the task in such a short time, and she was surprised that he could recapture the field of

Hippo Land.

"Of course, we should take the initiative to strike! This time, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

Lance stated in a firm tone as he clenched one of his fists in readiness. He unconsciously raised his

voice as he felt excited for a minute.

But a piece of sad news was on its way. Just as the old saying said, when things went too far, they

would go the other way.

Before Lance and other commanders could discuss the further plan for the battle, the bad news arrived

carried by the Carrier Beast.

"What are you saying?! We just lost the field of the Nine Grottoes? How was that possible?! The main

forces of the Timber Deity Empire shouldn't have arrived at that place!" Lance spoke out of great shock.

He found the bad news hard to digest.

What Lance heard before was, the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire would move to the south

after they held the field of the Dead Silence Mount, and they would head for another strategic site of

the Crimson Dragon Army, the Nine Snakes Gorge. He had made adequate preparations at the Nine

Snakes Gorge before the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire arrived to make sure that they had no

way to escape the clutches. He planned to lead the army in person as soon as the main forces of the

Timber Deity Empire arrived at Nine Snakes Gorge because he thought that it would encourage the

soldiers.

Lance didn't expect the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire would change their plan and fought for

the Nine Grottoes instead. He had no idea that the Timber Deity Empire would pretend to take another

path while sneaking down the other.

Worse, the Nine Grottoes was the last defense for the frontline of the Crimson Dragon Army. It would

be possible for the Timber Deity Empire to attack the frontline if they got ahold of the field. Also, most of

the forces of the Crimson Dragon Army were separated in different strategic sites, with only several

thousands of soldiers left in the frontline at this moment. In other words, if the main forces of their

opponent concentrated all their power and attacked the frontline, none on the frontline of the Crimson

Dragon Army would be able to survive.
