CHAPTER 643 LET'S NEGOTIATE

Rocky immediately ordered someone to send the suing-for-peace letter to Lance. When Lance

received and read it, he rushed to the camp of the Crimson Dragon Group stationed on the border of

the Timber Deity Empire.

"Father..." Isis got out of the tent when she found out that Lance was on his way to meet her. She

greeted him as soon as she saw him dismounting from his Roaring-thunder Dragon.

"Isis, my dear," Lance said. He was very happy to see Isis. He then asked, "Where is Rocky?"

"He is in the tent. He is discussing how to arrange the troops with Allen and the other commanders,"

she replied seriously.

Lance nodded at her and entered the tent with Isis.

"Commander in Chief!" When they saw Lance, Allen and the several other commanders bowed and

greeted him.

"Commander... Father," Rocky said as he stood up. He wanted to call him Commander in Chief as

usual, but he chose to call him father instead. He did not want Lance to be suspicious.

"You've done a great job these days! You actually forced the Timber Deity Empire to make peace in

such a short period of time." Lance praised Rocky. He walked over to Rocky, patted him on the

shoulder. He was obviously in a good mood.

Everyone took their seats. Rocky gave his seat to Lance and sat beside Isis.

"Father, do you think we should agree to the peace request of the Timber Deity Empire?" Isis asked

while she looked at Lance.

"Since the Timber Deity Empire has intended to make negotiations for peace, we should agree to it. If

we don't, it will definitely affect the reputation of the Holy Dragon Empire. Besides, winning and losing is

inevitable during wars between two countries. What we don't want is to get things in an impasse,"

Lance answered thoughtfully.

"However, I'm worried that the Timber Deity Empire doesn't really want to make peace. I feel like they

are just trying to buy time," Allen said apprehensively.

"Even if the Timber Deity Empire can delay the battle for two or three days, the result would remain the

same with their current military forces. The Timber Deity Empire will be defeated by Rocky this time.

Therefore, we should negotiate with the Timber Deity Empire whether they really want to make peace

or not. But of course, we have to take precautions against any tricks they might use," Lance said. The

other commanders felt his superiority. He was a war veteran after all. This time, the Timber Deity

Empire was obviously caught off guard by Rocky. Their defensive line was disintegrated in a short

period of time and there was a huge gap in their military forces. So, even if the Timber Deity Empire

tried to delay the battle, the Crimson Dragon Army was still very likely to win.

"Don't worry about that. I just discussed it with Allen and several other commanders. If we decide to

negotiate peace, we will also have to make a secret plan. If the peace negotiation fails, the Crimson

Dragon Army will advance in all directions and completely destroy the defensive line of the Timber

Deity Empire," Rocky said firmly. He wouldn't let the Timber Deity Empire have any chance to turn

things around. However, he actually did not want to make peace since he knew that the peace

negotiation was just a way for the Timber Deity Empire to buy time. But just as Lance said, it was

normal for countries at war to negotiate peace.

"That would be great," Lance said and nodded with satisfaction and thought, 'I'm a good judge of

character. The Crimson Dragon Army led by Rocky has finally made a comeback.'

"But who are you going to send to negotiate peace?" Allen asked, clasping his hands together.

"I'll do it myself," Lance replied without hesitation.

"This is not appropriate. What if this is a trap of the Timber Deity Empire?" Allen frowned with worry.

"I think Allen is right. We'd better send an Elite Commander to negotiate peace and see whether the

Timber Deity Empire is true to their word or not," Isis said after thinking for a while. owns this text.

"According to the letter, Alyssa will come to negotiate peace in person. So, we can't just send an Elite

Commander to do the negotiation. This will make a bad impression on us. We will decide the place of

negotiation anyway," Lance said as he shook his head to show his disapproval.

"Then let me do it. I'm very curious about Alyssa..." Rocky said with great interest. He never forgot that

Alyssa had sent Laney to assassinate him. Although the assassin failed, he was still curious about

Alyssa. He wondered what kind of woman could be so cruel to kill him.

"Rocky, you'd better not. The Timber Deity Empire is treating you as a thorn in their flesh. I'm afraid that

they will kill you," Lance said while he shook his head. Rocky was very important to the Crimson

Dragon Army. They could not let him take risks.

"I'll disguise myself as an accompanying guard. As the saying goes, 'If you know your enemy and

yourself, you won't be defeated'. If I don't know my enemy, I will not be sure whether we can win or

not," Rocky said with determination. He really wanted to meet Alyssa.

"I will go with you," Isis uttered without thinking about it. She was worried about him.

"You'd better stay here. If the negotiation fails, someone has to command the troops," Rocky said as he

looked at her.

"But..." she wanted to protest but she frowned instead.

"Don't worry. The members of the Elite Regiment and I will protect him. We can ensure the safety of the

Commander in Chief and Rocky," Allen said reassuringly.

"Isis, don't worry. I won't let my son-in-law die," Lance promised.

"Who cares about him? I just..." Isis said as she blushed. Everyone looked at her with a meaningful

look. Even Rocky looked at her with a smile, which made her feel shy.

"It turns out that you worry about me so much. I'm so happy," Rocky joked.

"You..." Isis stared at Rocky angrily when she realized that Rocky was just teasing her. Her cheeks

were flushed which made her look seductive.

"I never thought you would be shy after you got married," Allen said with a smile.

And with Allen's comment came a burst of laughter in the tent.

"I'll take a rest," Isis said as she stared at Rocky. She left in a hurry with her blushing face.

The Crimson Dragon Army had already agreed to make peace, so they stopped attacking the

defensive line of the Timber Deity Empire. However, the Crimson Dragon Army still maintained their

defense to prevent the Timber Deity Empire from attacking. Besides, they were ready to fight according

to the secret plan arranged by Rocky. If the negotiation failed, they would immediately try their best to

attack the defensive line of the Timber Deity Empire which would make it a decisive battle.

The time for negotiation had arrived. The Crimson Dragon Army decided the place of negotiation, so

they chose a desolate village near their camp. The Crimson Dragon Army, for safety's sake, had also

sent people one day before the negotiation to roam around the village to monitor the situation.

At noon, Lance, Allen and several members of the Elite Regiment came to the desolate village

accompanied by guards.
