CHAPTER 559 THINK OF ROCKY
"Deputy Commander in Chief, I've gotten some bad news... When the Commander in Chief and the
other Commanders were just five miles away from the Deity Unicorn Valley, Alyssa's troops stopped
them..." a Deputy Commander announced in panic after he rushed into the Commander's tent.
"What?" Isis, along with the Elite Commanders and the Frontline Commanders in the tent, were all
surprised upon hearing the fresh news.
"But, is the news accurate?" Isis asked immediately.
"The news came from the spirit-manipulated beast of Commander Wang who went together with the
Commander in Chief," the Deputy Commander responded as he gave her a nod.
"So what's the current situation? Do we have any casualties? Any dead soldier on the field?" Isis asked
in a worried tone.
"According to the information from Commander Wang's spirit-manipulated beast, they have escaped
under the Commander in Chief's cover, and are now heading to the Evian City under the Commander
in Chief's instructions. However, in order to cover them, the Commander in Chief resisted Alyssa and
her troops all by himself..." But before the Deputy Commander could even finish his words, Isis and the
other Commanders immediately felt terrified. Although Lance's strength had already reached the Divine
Stage, he would still be no match for Alyssa who was also at the Divine Stage and helped by the troops
of the Timber Deity Empire. Therefore, it was impossible for Lance to resist them alone for a long
period of time.
"I want you to gather two thousand soldiers to assist the Commander in Chief right now..." Isis ordered
straight out.
Soon enough, two thousand soldiers gathered in the Crimson Dragon Army's camp.
Afterwards, Isis personally left the camp along with an Elite Commander, three Frontline Commanders,
and two thousand soldiers, heading for the place where Lance and the several Commanders were
intercepted.
However, as soon as Isis arrived with her people, there were already two corpses lying on the ground.
Her father, along with Alyssa and the troops of the Timber Deity Empire, had already gone.
Nevertheless, the place had been destroyed and the ground was cracked, which meant that there was
a fierce battle that happened in the area not long ago.
Upon seeing this, Isis got a bit worried. After all, Alyssa was also at the Divine Stage, and although she
didn't know how strong she was, she knew that she was at least powerful enough to fight her father.
Even if her father had such a formidable strength, it still wouldn't be that easy for him to defeat nor
escape Alyssa.
What made Isis even more worried was that if something happened to her father and he couldn't return
to the Evian City in time, then there would be no one in charge of the Evian City.
Meanwhile, Isis could not keep Rocky off her mind at that moment. She kept on thinking as she was
not sure if Rocky would help the Crimson Dragon Army or not. All she knew was that there was nobody
who was able to do this except for Rocky.
"The three Frontline Commanders should immediately be divided into three groups and chase the
traces left by the Commander in Chief and the troops of the Timber Deity Empire. Before anything else,
find the Commander in Chief..." Isis, looking worried, ordered her officers immediately.
And in the blink of an eye, the two thousand soldiers under the lead of three Frontline Commanders
were divided into three groups and immediately tracked down in three directions.
Since Isis needed to direct the battle in the Deity Unicorn Valley, she brought some people to go back
there despite her apprehension.
On the other hand, just when Marin rushed all the way to the logistics camp, she heard the bad news
from Louis.
"Camp Director, are you saying that Rocky and Sabina have been out for several days and they haven't
come back yet?" Marin frowned as she looked serious.
As a response, Louis nodded without denying the fact.
"Did they tell you where they went?" Marin asked nervously. The Evian City was in danger, but Rocky
disappeared right at this moment when they needed him the most. How could she not be anxious?
But Louis only shook his head and spoke, "Commander Marin, what's the matter? Is there any reason
why you are so anxious to see Captain Rocky?"
Upon hearing his question, Marin told Louis about the news that the troops of the Timber Deity Empire
had conquered three passes and were approaching the Evian City. Suddenly, Louis felt cold sweat
dripping from his forehead because of sudden fear. He knew that if the Evian City was attacked, the
Crimson Dragon Group would be in great trouble.
"But the Commander in Chief has already gone back to the Evian City, hasn't he? With the Commander This material belongs to .
in Chief guarding the Evian City, there should be nothing to worry about," Louis said after thinking hard
for a while.
"Right at this time, the Timber Deity Empire has sent thirty thousand troops which secretly broke
through three passes. They must have been well prepared this time. Moreover, there are not enough
forces in the Evian City. Even if the forces are dispatched from the other border cities to assist the city,
they still can't arrive before the Timber Deity Empire's troops attack the city. By that time, we are sure
that the troops of the Timber Deity Empire will definitely attack the Evian City with all their might, which
would then put us in a bad situation. Although the Commander in Chief is on the way there, just in
case..." Marin said with hesitation in her voice.
"Yes, you're right about that. But I heard that Captain Rocky was entrusted to the logistics camp due to
a mistake, and now we are asking him to rush back to the Evian City to assist. Isn't it too..." In fact,
Louis had also heard about Rocky's relegation, but the thing was that no one even knew the reason for
it. Rocky had just been demoted not long ago. However, in consideration to the current crisis in the
Evian City, they planned to let Rocky take action to assist. In any case, this matter would confuse
others.
"This matter was just a misunderstanding. As far as I'm concerned, with a view to the crisis in the Evian
City, he might even take everyone's interest into consideration." Although these words came out of
Marin's mouth, she was still uncertain, knowing that Rocky had a very strange temper, and did things in
such odd and unusual ways. Only this time, the Commander in Chief made him suffer wrongful
treatment and even demoted him to the logistics camp. If anyone else had such an unpleasant
experience, they would surely be very indignant, not to mention Rocky who had helped the Crimson
Dragon Army get rid of danger for so many times, but was still treated unjustly.
Louis was not able to say anything for a while. But Marin lost her patience and asked, "Do you have
any way on how to get in touch with Rocky right now?"
"Yes, but I can't make sure that I can get in touch with him in time. And besides, there is a chance that I
can't locate him!" Louis said with concern while he nodded his head.
"Please help me send him a message. I want to ask him to go back to the Evian City as soon as
possible. Tell him that this is what the Deputy Commander in Chief said. Let him go back to the Evian
City no matter what happens... Please, I am begging him..." Marin said anxiously.
Hearing what Marin had said, Louis was shocked as well. He didn't expect that the Deputy Commander
in Chief would even deliberately beg Rocky. However, he was a clever man, as he thought there must
be a hidden reason behind it. Therefore, he nodded without asking for any more details about the
matter.
"By the way, please tell Rocky that I will wait for him in the Evian City. I hope he won't let me down!" As
soon as Marin finished her words, she left Louis's tent. Then, she rode on Verdanim, which was waiting
outside, and headed straight to the Evian City.
Seeing Marin leave, Louis wrote down on a small piece of paper everything that Marin had just told
him. As soon as he finished writing, he asked some people to bring the letter to the Carrier Beast which
would then send the letter to Rocky as soon as possible.
