CHAPTER 558 A FIERCE FIGHT

"You must be the very famous Princess Alyssa, right?" Lance said calmly, staring at Alyssa on the

dragon-shaped spirit-manipulated beast. He knew not only her, but her reputation as well.

"Why, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't think I'm famous. I am nobody compared to you! You

have already fought in the battlefield for dozens of years and made a lot of achievements!" Alyssa

responded modestly with a faint smile, but her eyes were full of arrogance. She hid her sarcasm well,

as if she had been doing it a lot. Obviously, she didn't take Lance seriously.

Lance, of course, was able to look beyond this. He certainly knew what she meant. She just wanted to

satirize how he was not able to defeat a young and inexperienced person. Clearly, Alyssa thought he All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

didn't have the qualifications to get that tittle. However, Lance kept his calm and responded, "I wonder

why you are here waiting for me?"

"You are going back to the Evian City, right? I just wanted to see you off." Alyssa stared at Lance, her

eyes glinting of hidden sarcasm.

"You are too polite. You don't have to send me off. I just hope you can let me pass here," Lance

answered with a sneer. He knew that what Alyssa meant by her so-called farewell was to see him lead

his way to his death.

"I'm not the one who owns and controls this path. You can leave if you want." Alyssa waved her hand,

and the dragon-shaped spirit-manipulated beast moved a little.

"I'm afraid there is no way ahead!" Lance knew just what Alyssa was up to. Obviously, she wanted to

stall them so that they couldn't rush back to the Evian City in time. If he couldn't guard the Evian City,

and there was a lack of soldiers, the city wouldn't be able to resist attacks for a long time. Very soon,

they would be defeated by the 30, 000 soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire.

"Actually, I don't want to fight you either. Please stay in the Deity Unicorn Valley for another two days.

After our Timber Deity Empire's forces conquer the Evian City, I will let you go back to the city to clean

up the mess..." Alyssa giggled. She wore an attractive smile, but the vicious expression in her eyes and

her cold voice made people tremble with fear.

"If you want to keep me here, you should have enough strength to beat and stop me from leaving!"

Lance couldn't stand it anymore. He was amped up, looking very dignified and imposing. At this

moment, the aura of the Divine Stage was exuding from his body, which shocked people around them.

Even the troops of the Deity Timber Empire and those masters at the Heavenly Stage were caught off

guard.

"It seems that I have to spend some time 'playing' with you!" Alyssa was not intimidated by him.

Instead, her beautiful eyes narrowed, emitting the aura of the Divine Stage which was not inferior to

Lance's.

Lance had already known that Alyssa had the strength of the Divine Stage, but he didn't expect that

she was on the same level as him. Even at a young age, Alyssa had such amazing strength, which was

incredible!

'Princess Alyssa is really as powerful as General Marcia. She even has such amazing strength at such

a young age. No wonder she is so arrogant. Also, it seems that she is well prepared. She will definitely

go all out to keep me here and prevent me from getting back to the Evian City, ' Lance thought to

himself, looking at Alyssa who was confident. There were only a few skillful Elite Commanders and

Frontline Commanders around him. Obviously, they were not a match for the army of 1, 000 soldiers

and those masters at the Heavenly Stage that Alyssa had brought here.

Seeing that the troops of the Deity Timber Empire and those masters at the Heavenly Stage were

ready to move, Lance decided not to act recklessly. He narrowed his sharp eyes and mustered his

strength in preparation to battle.

"You go ahead to support the Evian City first. I'll attract them to another place." Lance ordered the

several Elite Commanders and Frontline Commanders.

"We can't just leave you here. Please take back your order! Let us stay and battle them. Commander in

Chief, it is you who should go back to the Evian City first," an Elite Commander responded immediately.

"Even if you join hands, you can't defeat Princess Alyssa. Staying here won't help. I'm the only one who

can subdue them. Moreover, the plan of the Timber Deity Empire is to not let me return to the Evian

City," Lance uttered firmly, shaking his head.

All the Commanders just looked at each other upon hearing these words. There was a certainty in

Lance's voice, and they knew nothing they said could persuade him.

"Commander Wang, take the Crimson Dragon Token with you. If Rocky can arrive at the Evian City in

time, give it to him. If I fail to rush back to the Evian City in two days, let him be fully in charge of the

troops of the Evian City." Then, Lance took out the Crimson Dragon Token from his pocket and handed

it to one of the Elite Commanders.

Suddenly, the Roaring-thunder Dragon descended extremely fast into the ground. The dragon landed

with a loud thud and its wings made powerful gushes of air. The sand, stones and dust were stirred up.

"Leave! Right now. I'll cover you," Lance ordered.

Seeing that Lance had made up his mind, all the Commanders nodded and summoned their own spirit-

manipulated beasts, rushing towards the opposite direction.

The troops of the Timber Deity Empire and several masters at the Heavenly Stage were marching in,

attempting to stop the Crimson Dragon Army Commanders.

Unexpectedly, a heaven-shaking dragon roar rang out. The Roaring-thunder Dragon flashed as it sped

through the clouds. The astonishing dragon roar that was heard a second ago instantly turned into a

massive sound wave and charged at the troops of the Timber Deity Empire and those masters at the

Heavenly Stage.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of deafening explosions roared in front of the troops of the Timber Deity Empire and those

masters at the Heavenly Stage, stirring up dust and blocking them. At the same time, some of them

who had no time to dodge the attack were injured and some even died from the impact. Screams of

pain and agony from injured men could be heard along with the sound of explosions.

This six-star spirit-manipulated beast was really extraordinary. As it moved to attack, its raging power

was formidable enough to make the master at the advanced grade of the Supernal Stage tremble with

terror and turn pale.

Under the protection, those Commanders of the Crimson Dragon Army began to run for their lives.

"Stop chasing them," Alyssa said to the troops and the masters at the Heavenly Stage when she saw

that the Crimson Dragon Army Commanders had gone far away. In fact, her plan was just as Lance

expected. She just wanted to stall Lance, and prevent him from returning in time. Without Lance in the

Evian City, it would be easy for the Timber Deity Empire's forces to attack and destroy the city.

Of course, Alyssa was sure of that. Besides, she knew another reason why the Evian City would be

easily conquered: she had received the information that Rocky, who had ruined her several plans, was

relegated to the logistics camp because he had been unjustly wronged by Lance. Considering this, she

thought that Rocky was no longer a threat.

Without Lance and Rocky, the Crimson Dragon Army was a sitting duck, waiting to be slaughtered by

her.

After witnessing that the Commanders had successfully escaped, Lance asked the Roaring-thunder

Dragon to spread its wings and soar into the air.

Alyssa saw Lance's move and she immediately rode on her spirit-manipulated beast and charged

towards him.

Without a sign of fear and hesitation, Lance ordered the Roaring-thunder Dragon to rush towards

Alyssa. This was the start of a fierce fight between the two masters at the Divine Stage.
