CHAPTER 656 CLEAR MIND (PART ONE)
"What do you mean by that, Sabina?" Apparently, Isis didn't understand any of her words.
"There is a very strong power sealed in his body that is completely beyond his endurance. So, once he
overuses it, he can't control his strength," after hesitating for a while, Sabina uttered under her breath.
"But, how could he have such power? And how did you know about that?" At that point, Isis was still
not able to understand. However, what shocked her the most was that Sabina knew everything about it
while she didn't have any idea.
"That's all I can tell you for now. And this will be just between us. You can't tell anyone else what I have
just said. You must take good care of him and keep him far away from danger. Otherwise, you will
regret it!" After finishing her words, Sabina turned around and left.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Isis asked at once as soon as she saw that Sabina was about to leave.
"I'm the last one he wants to see when he wakes up. I can't stay here." After saying that, Sabina left.
"Oh, Rocky, why do you always make me worried?" Isis could not help but cry at the sight of the man
who seemed to be sleeping so soundly in bed.
Meanwhile, two figures came in one after another just from the outside of the camp.
"Isis..."
Isis wiped her tears as soon as she heard the voice calling her. Turning around, she saw Lance and
Allen.
"Where is Sabina?" Allen asked upon seeing that it was only Isis who was inside the tent.
"She left a while ago," Isis replied.
"Shouldn't she be at the Imperial City? What was she doing here?" Allen asked in confusion.
"Father, what happened? How is it going to be for Rocky from now on?" Isis could not help but
anxiously ask as she looked at Lance.
"It's a long story. We talk about it later. What happened to the Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic
Dragon Army on Timber Deity Empire's left wing of the defensive line?" asked Lance.
"Due to the fact that the enemy troops are superior, the Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic Dragon
Army have retreated for two miles..." Isis responded.
"Who have come to help the Timber Deity Empire?" Lance's tone became even more serious upon
hearing what Isis had just said.
Right at that time, someone else joined them in the tent. As soon as she saw Rocky lying on the bed,
she was shocked. "What happened to him? R..Rocky..."
"Don't worry about him, Marin. He is fine," Isis said as she wanted to calm Marin down from being too
worried about Rocky's condition.
"I'm not worried about him. But, he was going to go and make peace with them. How could he..." Marin
glanced at Lance and Allen in disbelief.
"This time, we fell into the Timber Deity Empire's trap again. If I had known it earlier, then I would have
listened to Rocky. The Timber Deity Empire did have bad intentions," Lance said with great regret. If he
had only known about this, then he would not have agreed to negotiate peace with the Timber Deity
Empire. Instead, he would have broken through their defensive line. But now, it was already too late.
"Father, this is not the right time to talk about it. We have to sit tight until Rocky wakes up," Isis
immediately said.
"But if we don't attack now, then it would be a chance for the Timber Deity Empire to recover. And the
defensive line will soon be broken, right?" Lance said seriously as he frowned.
"But we still don't know which army ambushed the Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic Dragon Army,
so we can't take risk anymore. Otherwise, we'll probably fall into their traps again. We'd better wait until
Rocky wakes up so we can talk about it with him," Isis said after thinking about it.
"I think the Deputy Commander in Chief is right," added Allen.
"Okay, it's settled. We'll wait until he wakes up." Hesitating for a while, Lance agreed with them and
nodded. After all, he had handed over the command of the Crimson Dragon Army to Rocky. Therefore,
only when Rocky woke up, could they take action to this unexpected situation.
Rocky slept all day and all night as he recuperated. During this time, Lance heard of many news. To his
surprise, the troops that attacked them were from the Roaring Flame Empire which had a staggering
force of 50, 000 soldiers. It seemed that the Roaring Flame Empire was very well prepared. Otherwise,
it would not have that many soldiers up for battle.
Meanwhile back in the commander's tent, Lance, Isis, and Allen anxiously awaited Rocky to wake up.
While waiting, they guessed the reason why the Roaring Flame Empire suddenly sent out their troops.
"Is the rumor I heard about the Roaring Flame Empire true?" Allen asked as he realized something.
Before he went back to the Crimson Dragon Group, he was carrying out a secret mission in the
Roaring Flame Empire, which was why he was quite familiar with their situation.
"What kind of rumor, Allen?" Lance asked seriously. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"Back when I was still in the Roaring Flame Empire, I've heard that they planned to ally with the Timber
Deity Empire. They had even sent a few rare treasures to the Timber Deity Empire as tokens of
appreciation. However, these treasures were lost half-way, so their alliance broke. If the rumors were
true, then they would have probably secretly formed an alliance. That's why Roaring Flame Empire
sent troops!" Allen hypothesized.
"Alliance? It's that troublesome, then." Lance was stunned. If Allen's speculation was correct, then it
was definitely not good news for the Crimson Dragon Army. And if another country suddenly joined the
war, then the situation would be even more complicated.
"Have they really formed an alliance?" Suddenly, a yawning man suddenly walked into the
commander's tent and joined in the conversation.
Surprised, all three of them turned around to see where the voice came from, only to find out that it was
Rocky's.
Upon seeing him, Lance and Allen heaved a sigh of relief, while Isis stood up the second she saw him
and walked towards him.
"When did you wake up?" Isis, like a gentle wife, walked up to Rocky and asked with deep concern.
"Just an hour ago," Rocky replied and turned his gaze to Lance. "Commander in Chief, please order
the Crimson Dragon Army and Magic Dragon Army to retreat from the left wing of the defensive line."
"Retreat? But isn't it a great chance for the Timber Deity Empire to recover?" Lance suddenly darkened
his eyes. They had finally gained a great advantage, and they had almost broken through Timber Deity
Empire's defensive line.
"But it's not as simple as you think. The Timber Deity Empire has already planned everything from the
very beginning. In addition to that, the support of the Roaring Flame Empire must also be part of the
plan. The only reason why Alyssa proposed to make peace was that she just wanted to buy time for the
Roaring Flame Empire to arrive. Ever since the arrival of the Roaring Flame Empire's troops, she must
have prepared for everything. And if we force to attack, then we will surely fall into her trap," Rocky
explained. Hearing the conversation between Lance and two others, he soon figured out what had
happened.
