CHAPTER 691 GIVE HIM AN AWARD

"Commander Fleming, now that the Mont City is taken, what do you think is the next move of the Holy

Sea Empire?" Rocky asked as he was walking along the city wall. With wary eyes, he looked at the

direction of Mont City.

"With my understanding, the Holy Sea Empire will take advantage of the victory to chase us. In addition

to the Heaven Unicorn City, there are other two small cities surrounding the Mont City. Those three

small cities are close to each other. If the Holy Sea Empire can take them down, then they can use

those three small cities to defend the Mont City," Fleming replied with a serious voice.

"Is that so? Then, which city do you think the Holy Sea Empire will attack first?" Rocky asked as his

eyes squinted at the man.

"Hmm... Judging from the terrain of the three small cities, the Holy Sea Empire should first attack Yu owns this text.

City in the southeast of Mont City. That city was built by the river, and there is only one way to get to

the city. It's very easy to defend. If the military forces are equally powerful, the advantage will definitely

fall to the defenders. However, the recent military forces of the Holy Sea Empire can easily take Yu City

down. Therefore, if the Holy Sea Empire brings Yu City down first, then it would be difficult for us to

take it back," Fleming analyzed with serious eyes.

"I understand. After that, which city will be next?" Rocky asked as he nodded.

"After they secured Yu City, they'll definitely conquer Heaven Unicorn City next. You have also seen the

terrain of the Heaven Unicorn City. It was surrounded by high slopes on all sides, which impaired its

vision on the surrounding area. Therefore, it is very difficult to defend. Moreover, it's easy to be

attacked from three sides. Its land features make it an easy target for a surprise attack. Therefore, the

Heaven Unicorn City is the easiest to attack of the three cities and the hardest to defend," Fleming

continued with a grim tone.

"Then, what about the last city?" Rocky continued to ask for more information.

"The last city is Grande City. It's more difficult to attack than Yu City because it was built on the waist of

a cliff. The terrain is high, which means that if an enemy appears, they can immediately notice it. And

there's only one way leading to the city, and it's steep and narrow. It's not a suitable place to fight. As

such, the city is easy to defend and stable," Fleming said with admiration.

"With the exception of Heaven Unicorn City, how many soldiers are stationed in the other two cities?"

After he heard the information about the terrain of the cities, Rocky asked about the warriors in the

cities.

"Sadly, no more than two thousand," Fleming estimated as his face revealed a grim expression.

"Then, the total number of soldiers in the three cities is just six thousand!" A serious expression painted

Rocky's face. If the number of warriors in the three cities combined was a little more, Rocky thought

that he could get them to fight together. However, the recent number was far from sufficient and it was

also hard to get them together.

"Rocky, have you thought of a plan?" A worried expression painted Isis' face as she asked. She already

knew that the current situation was extremely adverse. If they couldn't find a solution, those three cities

would become the target of the Holy Sea Empire.

"With our current forces, even if we join with the forces from the three small cities, it's difficult for us to

fight against the Holy Sea Empire. The only way for us to have a decent fight is to ask for

reinforcements. If there are no reinforcements, it will be difficult to defend the three cities!" Rocky said

with a stern voice. The situation was completely different from that of Evian City. The Mont City had

been brought down. Additionally, there were only less than three thousand members of the Crimson

Dragon Army left. Even with all forces from the three small cities, the total number of soldiers would not

exceed ten thousand. The Holy Sea Empire had three targets to attack. If they gathered forces to

defend one city, then the Holy Sea Empire would just turn to another target. However, if they divided

the forces into all of the three cities, then it was very likely that all of the three cities could be brought

down. As such, a dilemma had fallen upon them.

In the current situation, even Rocky would feel powerless. Therefore, if he wanted to save the three

cities, he had to ask the Crimson Dragon Army to send reinforcements just to narrow the gap of the

power between the two forces.

"Sadly, the current situation of the Crimson Dragon Army is quite dire. I'm afraid they will hardly send

reinforcements to us this time even if we ask for help," Isis said grimly as she narrowed her eyes. All of

the forces of the Crimson Dragon Army were gathered in front of the defense line of the Timber Deity

Empire. They were already difficult to be dispatched away in the first place. Otherwise, Mont City

wouldn't have been attacked so badly and been devastated.

"From the right-wing defense of the Timber Deity Empire to Mont City, it takes merely two days. If we

can have ten thousand troops from the right-wing defense to support us, I'll be able to secure the three

cities. Perhaps, we can even take Mont City back!" At that time, Rocky was lacking of military forces.

As long as they could solve the numbers problem, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with the Holy Sea

Empire.

"Then, I'll immediately appoint someone to go to the main camp..." Isis said. Then, she turned around

and hurriedly left.

"Commander Fleming, immediately appoint some people to the Grande City. Let them inform Flank to

bring five thousand soldiers to gather with us in Heaven Unicorn City..." Rocky ordered as his eyes

remained worried.

"Okay, at once! However, Commander Rocky, how are you sure that Flank has sent five thousand

soldiers to the Grande City?" Fleming asked as confusion was revealed in his face.

"It's rather simple. Grande City is a safe place that is hard to conquer. I'm not sure why Flank took five

thousand soldiers to escape. However, if I were him, I would certainly lead my soldiers to the safe

place. In the three cities, only Grande City is safe," Rocky explained after a smart analysis.

Fleming just nodded in agreement and then left.

"Flank should be moving under someone's instructions. The one behind the curtain must be Alston! It

looks like Alston doesn't want me to defend Mont City at all! Dispatching me to Mont City must also be

a part of his vile plan. However, losing Mont City is not a bad thing. On contrary, perhaps it might be a

good opportunity..." Rocky murmured as he gazed into the distance. A trace of smile was caught on the

corner of his mouth while he was lost in his thoughts.

The next day, the message from Heaven Unicorn City was sent to the main camp of the Crimson

Dragon Army. However, Alston saw it first and immediately took it.

"Hmm, asking for reinforcements? Ha! No way!" After he read the message, Alston immediately

crumpled it.

"Your Royal Highness, although Mont City was lost when Rocky arrived, he still took three thousand

soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army along with several thousand people and escaped to Heaven

Unicorn City," reported a spirit manipulator at the Heavenly Stage who was cloaked in a black robe as

he stood in front of Alston.

"Ha-ha, pathetic! They have less than three thousand soldiers? I want to see how the bastard uses

only three thousand warriors to take Mont City back. If he fails to take back Mont City he's over.

However, it would still be an arduous task to use three thousand soldiers to protect Heaven Unicorn

City. Of course, I hope he can hold on and defend. As long as the three cities are kept up, it should be

beneficial for me. After I defeat the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire, I will immediately lead my

army to take back Mont City. At that time, all the credit will be mine! Even if he doesn't die, he will

surely lose his reputation..." Alston sneered as his eyes revealed contempt. Actually, he had planned

for this for a long time. He wanted to take advantage of the chance to deal with Rocky when the Holy

Sea Empire was attacking Mont City.

"By the way, where has the traitor commander led his soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army?" Alston

then asked the spirit manipulator.

"It seems that they have gathered at Grande City. The Grande City is easy to defend but difficult to

attack. As long as it is kept, it would be difficult for the Holy Sea Empire to defend Mont City," with a

plain voice, the spirit manipulator in black robe responded.

"Well then, after everything's done, make sure to give that man an 'award'," Alston said with a cold

tone.

"Okay, sir." The black robed spirit manipulator nodded in agreement and then immediately left.

"Well then, Basil, let me see how you are going to fight with me!" Alston laughed wildly as if he was

sure that he would emerge victorious.

However, it was still unknown who would be the winner in the end!
