CHAPTER 571 HE CAUSED QUITE A STIR!
After Sabina took over the command authority of the Evian City, unity was reflected among the
camaraderie of the Commanders. They themselves were able to realize how their solidarity was much
better than before. Nevertheless, all of them felt at ease because they thought as though the heavy
burdens on their shoulders were lifted and transferred to Sabina instead. The Commanders felt
unbounded thinking that they would no longer be blamed if they could not defend the city.
Of course, Sabina knew what was on the Commanders' minds, but the city was currently in danger.
What they thought hardly mattered. All Sabina thought was if no one stood up to lead, the city would be
lost without any doubt. Moreover, there was another reason why she took over the command authority
of the city: it's because of her little hunch. She was expecting something from someone. It was weird
and unanticipated. What drove her to that expectation baffled her as well.
Because of Sabina's presence and command, all the Commanders were enthusiastic. The
Commanders offered advice actively, and even recommended themselves to offer their service. Most of
them wanted to show off their skills and impress Sabina. However, only a few of the Elite Commanders
knew a little about the background of Sabina, while the rest of the Commanders did not know her
background at all. Because of her identity alone as a strong warrior at the Supernal Stage, she was
able to outperform all the others.
"Commander Wang, how many soldiers are there left in the Evian City after today's battle?" Sabina
asked immediately after she and Sheridan sat down to take a break.
"About eight thousand," Commander Wang responded, cupping his hands.
"Eight thousand? How about that of the enemy?" Sabina continued after thinking a while.
"More than twenty thousand," Commander Wang answered after a moment of hesitation. He didn't
need to elaborate just how much advantage the enemy had with this much manpower.
"So, we don't even have half of the military power of the Timber Deity Empire?" Sabina raised her
eyebrows in disbelief. She had expected the difference in their military power, but the gap was much
larger than she had imagined. It was also crucial to note that the Timber Deity Empire had five giant
Huge-horned Rhinoceros that were as powerful as divine weapons on the battlefield. The five This material belongs to .
rhinoceros were able to break any defense line for the Timber Deity Empire, making the city walls
completely useless.
"Commander Sabina, do you have any good ideas?" Commander Ron turned and asked desperately.
"In such a case, no matter how good a plan is, it will never work. The Timber Deity Empire has the
upper hand in every aspect. We have no other choice but to defend it until the last moment, no matter
what..." Sabina told the truth. The situation of the Evian City was not looking good.
Hearing what she said, all the Commanders shook their heads and sighed. They couldn't hide their
dismay and Sabina couldn't really blame them. After all, it was their lives that were at risk.
A few seconds later, two figures were seen to be hurrying into the room.
After seeing one of the figures walking ahead, Commander Wang was a little surprised. He walked
over to close the distance between them and asked, "Prefect, what brought you here?"
This man was the prefect of the Evian City. He had once fought with Rocky. The person walking behind
him was the captain who had led several city guards to try to block the north gate. Yet, the blocked gate
was bombarded by Rocky.
"Commander Wang, the north gate was broken," the prefect said with his face looking pale and grim.
The news the perfect brought shocked the Commanders. They looked at each other and wondered
who was so bold that he was able to break the north gate.
"Why was the gate broken?" Commander Wang asked in surprise. The other Commanders were still
and longing for a response.
"After I got the news that Evian City would be attacked by the army of the Timber Deity Empire
yesterday, I had already ordered that all the gates of the city should be closed. This was to prevent any
civilians from passing and to keep spies of the Timber Deity Empire from sneaking into the city and
stirring up trouble. The captain of the city guards responsible for guarding the north gate came forward
to report that someone had bombarded the city gate. Furthermore, I was informed that the culprit was
spreading a rumor that the Timber Deity Empire was about to take over the Evian City. These words
were stirring up trouble and causing..." The prefect exaggerated the whole matter.
"Who could be so bold? Has the culprit been caught?" Commander Wang asked sternly as he felt
anger rise up to his head. After all, this was a critical moment. How could someone break down a gate
and start a panic among the people by spreading such rumors?
The prefect swiftly turned his head and looked back at the captain as he waited for his reply.
"That guy is a spirit manipulator and he is very powerful. We are no match for him at all. Also, he is
riding a flying spirit-manipulated beast with fire all over its body..." the captain answered with a shaking
voice, reflecting the fear he was feeling.
'Is he a spy from the Timber Deity Empire? He started the panic on purpose and incited others to
rebel...' The Commanders were all worried and couldn't help but wonder.
Only Sabina and Sheridan thought that something might be up. They looked at each other and it was
as if they had reached a tacit understanding.
"Therefore, I want Commander Wang to send several powerful spirit manipulators to assist me, and I
will immediately catch this person," the prefect proceeded. In fact, it was not a big deal that the city
gate had been broken down. What he worried most about was mainly the civilians. The reason why he
had ordered to close the gates was that he didn't want the civilians to leave the Evian City. If the Evian
City was successfully guarded, it would become a dead city after if all the civilians left. This would be a
huge loss. Moreover, as the prefect of the city, he couldn't be on the take anymore. So even though it
seemed that he sealed the city only because of decent reasons, some selfishness was hidden in his
motives. The possibility of danger he was putting the civilians in did not cross his mind. He did not care
that once the city was conquered by the enemies, the civilians who had been trapped in the city would
be greatly affected by the war.
"Well..." Commander Wang was in a dilemma. At such a critical moment, he had no one to spare and
assign to the prefect to arrest anyone. However, if this person who took down the gate was a spy from
the Timber Deity Empire, he couldn't just sit still and do nothing. This would put the people and the city
at great risk.
Commander Wang was lost in a hesitation. Just then, a deep and familiar voice came from outside,
"Who wants to arrest me?"
When the people in the room heard the sound, they immediately turned their heads and saw a figure
walking in with his hands clasped behind his back. The man was wearing a cold and ruthless face. His
tall figure looked restrained and intimidating.
"Prefect, it's him! It's him!" the captain screamed and pointed at the man walking towards them. He was
trembling with fear at the sight of the figure.
When the Commanders saw who was coming, they had different reactions. Most of them were
surprised, as the comer was an unexpected visitor.
As soon as they were able to see who it was, Sabina's cold face suddenly became a little warmer, and
a faint smile played at the corners of her mouth. Her smile was so genuine, and you could tell it from
how her smile reached her eyes.
"Brat, it's about time! You're finally here!" Sheridan laughed.
The one who showed up abruptly was no other than Rocky.
As for the prefect, he soon recognized that Rocky was the mysterious young man who had fought with
him. It annoyed him how much trouble he went through because of Rocky. Moreover, it was also Rocky
who had shown him the Crimson Dragon Token before. Because of this, he, too, was startled to see
him.
