CHAPTER 642 THE BIGGEST SENSATION

By the time the five thousand soldiers arrived at the Misty Plain, Rocky had already withdrawn from

there. He and his troops had joined the rest of the Crimson Dragon Army that continued to attack the

right wing.

This marked the fifth day of the battle between the two forces. The defensive line of the Timber Deity

Empire was on the verge of collapse. It seemed the outcome was tipping in favor of the Crimson

Dragon Army.

Additionally, the news that it took Rocky only five days to break through the defensive line of the Timber

Deity Empire spread like wildfire, immediately causing a stir.

Lance, upon hearing this news, was decidedly pleased yet surprised. He didn't expect Rocky would

break through the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line so soon. He immediately sent messengers to

share this exciting battle report to Palace City. The emperor needed to hear this good news as soon as

possible.

Once Palace City caught wind of this, Rocky once again became the talk of the city. The past few

months, the Timber Deity Empire had the upper hand. Yet, in the span of only five days, their defensive

line was infiltrated by a nobody!

The Crimson Dragon Army was filled with a sense of pride for having garnered respect for the Holy

Dragon Empire, pleasing even the emperor himself. However, what was most important was the fact

that the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line was weakened. This signaled the war was coming to an

end soon, and that peace would finally reign. Again, the Holy Dragon Empire would defeat the Timber

Deity Empire.

Others weren't so pleased to hear the good news. Buff, who was seething with jealousy, immediately

mobilized thirty thousand soldiers of the Magic Dragon Army. He didn't want Rocky to win all the glory.

As soon as his troops were ready, he led his army to attack the left wing of Timber Deity Empire's

defensive line.

In the two days that followed, the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line was weakened even more, what

with being attacked from both the left and the right. Alyssa did her best to hold the Crimson Dragon

Army off, but she was growing desperate. There was no room for retreat; she knew that if they did fall

back, it'd be the end for them.

In the camp right behind their defensive line.

In a makeshift tent, Alyssa seethed with rage. She hadn't expected she'd fall for a trap set by Rocky.

Furthermore, she didn't think he'd guess her every move. With an angry snort, she recalled the events

of how Rocky successfully attacked the Misty Plain. Though she had mobilized troops, the whole

defensive line disintegrated upon the Crimson Dragon Army's attack.

"Do you have any news?" Alyssa grumpily asked her brother.

"The battle was supposed to last 10 days... Everything's happening too fast," Woods replied with a

frown. He initially expected the battle would take ten days, enough for them to implement their plan

smoothly. However, no one could have known that Rocky was so powerful. Furthermore, he had seen

through Alyssa's plans and destroyed the Misty Plain's defensive line.

Obviously, this time, the Timber Deity Empire underestimated Rocky's courage. Such a mistake on

their end resulted in great losses. Of course, the two recognized that they had been duped. Rocky had

definitely hidden his true strength during their last encounter. However, this time, he spared no one,

defeating the Timber Deity Empire in one fell swoop.

"We have three days left. However, I'm afraid the left and right wings can't hold out for more than two

days. Once they break through our defensive line, the Crimson Dragon Army will enter our territory."

Alyssa shook her head angrily. She couldn't believe this was happening. How could a nobody have the

audacity to beat her? However, she thought it was definitely an accident. She just forgot that even

though Misty Plain was difficult to attack, its impact on the whole defensive line was also hard to

estimate. She should have deployed more troops there, in case of any emergency.

"I have to come up with another plan. We need more time." Woods knew that if Timber Deity Empire

was defeated this time, it would be difficult to save face in the future.

"There is one way we can get more time..." Alyssa narrowed her eyes.

"What is it?" Woods' eyes lit up immediately.

"Sue for peace," Alyssa said under her breath.

"Sue for peace? Do you intend to buy time by making peace? However, if we break our word

afterwards, it will hurt Timber Deity Empire's reputation," Woods cried with disdain.

"So we have to set a date for negotiation, just that day. By that time, let Crimson Dragon Army retreat

from the negotiation by themselves." Alyssa smiled deviously as she formulated a plan.

"Isn't it too risky? What if it's too late?" Woods asked with a frown, as he couldn't conceal his worry.

"This is the only way. This is the only time the Crimson Dragon Army would stop attacking temporarily.

Then, we can deploy more troops quietly." Alyssa bit her lip. If she knew any other way, she wouldn't

dare do this.

"Then, will Crimson Dragon Army even be willing to negotiate peace?" Woods asked.

"Of course they will. As long as we agree to their terms of compensation. I think the Crimson Dragon

Army also want to end this war as soon as possible." Alyssa smiled confidently.

"Then, what do you plan to do with Rocky? Will you still have him assassinated?" Woods anxiously

asked his sister. He still cared about Rocky.

"We shall see," Alyssa said, her eyes gleaming maliciously.

"Fine. I will send messengers to Crimson Dragon Army to make peace," Woods replied, turning around

abruptly to leave.

The next day, on the other side of the battle, Rocky received a suing-for-peace letter from Timber Deity

Empire. He then summoned Isis, Allen, and several other Elite Commanders.

"Isis, what do you think?" Rocky turned to look at her.

"Obviously, the Timber Deity Empire can't contend with us anymore. It's not unusual they'd sue for

peace when they're on the losing end," Isis replied after some thought.

"Head Allen, what do you think?" Rocky asked, turning to look at Allen.

"I think they may not be sincere, especially considering how stubborn they were before," Allen replied

as he scratched his chin. He had a bad feeling about this.

"What about you guys? What do you think?" Rocky turned to the other Elite Commanders.

They all exchanged glances uncertainly, then said, "If we can, let's end this war. We did invest a lot of C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

manpower and material resources these past few months. If we keep on fighting, it will do us no

good..."

"But if we agree, doesn't that give a chance for the Timber Deity Empire to retaliate?"

"I think we'd better continue to fight until they can't strike back, just in case."

"No! We should seize the chance to impose compensation conditions on the Timber Deity Empire..."

The Elite Commanders continued to argue amongst themselves.

With each opinion that was thrown at Rocky, he sighed and studied the letter before him. "I think," he

cleared his throat authoritatively, "that we should let the Commander in Chief decide."
