CHAPTER 657 CLEAR MIND (PART TWO)
"But on the other hand, we will lose all the advantage if we give up. And besides, the forces of the
Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic Dragon Army were not weak at all. They could definitely fight with
the Roaring Flame Empire..." Lance still thought that it would be such a pity to withdraw the army.
"The troops of the Roaring Flame Empire are currently defending, while the Crimson Dragon Army and
the Magic Dragon Army have been offending for several days in a row. At this point, our troops are very
tired. If the war continues, then we will be at a disadvantage," Rocky said as he shook his head.
On the other hand, Lance thought that what Rocky said was reasonable, but he was very unwilling to
be cheated by Alyssa again.
"Although I have already mentioned that Alyssa made peace for other purposes, I didn't expect that her
purpose was to buy time for the army of the Roaring Flame Empire to arrive at the place. That's
surprising. This was probably her trump card. I'm sure that Timber Deity Empire had no other choice
because we have driven them into an impasse. Otherwise, the secret of their alliance wouldn't have
been revealed so easily. This is the last plan she can make, so we can take it easy afterwards. Timber
Deity Empire has no other choice. We just have to be patient and be steady in our fight. Only in that
way can we maintain the advantage. However, they have the support of the Roaring Flame Empire
now. Their military forces should be near to ours, so we can't act recklessly. We'll talk about it after we
figure out more about the background of the Roaring Flame Empire's army..." Rocky explained as he
made an orderly analysis.
"I see. Okay, I agree with you," Lance said as he thought that Rocky's words made a lot of sense.
"After the Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic Dragon Army withdraw from the defensive line, we will
retreat from the camp. Now, all we need is to ensure that there are sufficient supplies for the army. It
seems that this battle cannot be settled in such a short time," Rocky said as if he had already predicted
what would happen.
Afterwards, the four of them discussed some following details. Lance said, "Rocky, I want to have a
word with you in private."
Just by looking at his face, Rocky instantly knew that he must have something to ask him, so he
nodded his head.
As courtesy, Allen and Isis went out of the tent.
"Rocky, tell me the truth. Where did your power come from?" Lance asked in a straightforward manner.
"I can't really answer you, and I hope you don't ask me anymore," Rocky replied in the same manner,
bluntly.
"I don't mean to pry into your private matters. It's just that the power is so evil and strong that I don't
think you can bear it at all. In addition to that, the damage to you is immeasurable. I'm just worried
about you. After all, you are my son-in-law now, the husband of Isis. Of course, I'm just concerned
about you, that's all," Lance said worriedly. Of course, he also vaguely assumed that Rocky's real
identity might be top secret.
"You don't have to worry, Commander in Chief. I'll make it. Could you please not tell Isis about any of
this? I just don't want her to worry," Rocky said as he did not want anyone in particular to worry about
him.
"Take care of yourself. Should you need any help, don't hesitate to approach me. I am just a little
curious on why Sabina would be there at that time. Moreover, she seems to know your power very well.
Thanks to her, you can be safe and sound," Lance said with doubt, but at the same time respected
Rocky's wishes and did not ask further. Afterwards, he turned around and left the camp.
As soon as Lance mentioned Sabina, Rocky recalled that he seemed to see her before he lost
consciousness. It seemed that it was true that Sabina had saved his life, but how could she suppress
the evil power in his body?
Soon, Rocky remembered that it was not the first time that she had saved his life. In fact, she did the
same when they were in Hippo Land.
As he thought about it, he got frustrated. Frowning, he quickly walked out of the camp and found a
stream not so far away.
"Come out! I know you'll follow me once I am out of camp." Rocky stood beside the stream, looking at
his own reflection in the water, as if he was talking to himself.
Soon, a beautiful figure appeared just several meters away from him. Tiptoeing rocks with a proud
stature, she projected her default cold face.
"I just wanted to thank you for saving my life," Rocky thanked Sabina as he stared at her.
"I'm just doing my job," Sabina answered apathetically.
"Did Marcia really send you to protect me?" Rocky doubtfully asked.
"I can't tell you." Sabina shook her head.
"But how did you suppress the evil power in my body? It must be Marcia's doing, right?" He guessed.
"Here. You can use this." Nodding, she took out Dragon Twined Wood from her pocket.
"What's this? What does it do?" glancing at the new weapon, Rocky asked.
"It's called Dragon Twined Wood or as others call, twisted wood. It only grows in the territory of the
spiritual race and is very rare and has many uses. In fact, one of its uses is to suppress the evil power.
I guess that my master sealed the power inside your body with its help. So, that means that it's the only
way to suppress your evil power." Sabina didn't know much about it, but she could only guess.
"Really? Is it extra service? In the past, she sealed my power in my body. And now she sent you to
follow me. Is she really worried that my powers would be out of control? Or does your master have
other plans..." Rocky sneered. In fact, he was a little conflicted about the whole scenario. He didn't
know whether what Marcia had done to him that year was for his own good or for other purposes.
"If you only knew my master, then you would know that my master couldn't be such kind of person."
Sabina was enraged upon hearing this.
"If not, then why did she conceal my identity from you? She could have told you straightforwardly. You C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
have followed me, protected me, and even taken risks for me, but somehow, you don't know who I
really am," Rocky questioned her.
After hearing what he said, Sabina was speechless.
"Do you really want to know who I am?" he suddenly asked Sabina as he looked her straight in the
eyes.
After being silent for a while, she answered, "No."
"Really? Are you sure about that? Well, I was just about to tell you. Although there was some
resentment between me and your master, it has nothing to do with you at all, and I should not blame
that on you. I'm sorry," Rocky said frankly as he had switched his attitude to Sabina at that moment.
Shocked, Sabina never expected that Rocky would apologize to her.
