CHAPTER 700 A PROMISE

"Really? Are you certain? I don't think that you are responsible for the ambush outside," Rocky said as

a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"What did you say?!" Flank's eyes widened and he immediately stood up in shock.

After a while, a few figures started to break in via the side hall's window and door, scattering shards of

wood everywhere on the floor. With no time left to spare, they surrounded Rocky and Flank. All of them

exuded an aura of the Heavenly Stage. In fact, one of their members had even reached the seventh

grade of the Heavenly Stage.

"Now that you have seen it with your own eyes, you have to believe it. It appears that Alston plans to

frame you right after he takes my life," Rocky added as he looked calmly at Flank.

Seeing the evidence right in front of him, Flank suddenly came into his senses that Rocky was indeed,

telling the truth. His once lively face had turned ashen in fear, for he finally realized that he would be

the next one to be killed.

"I can save you, Flank. But only under one condition: give me five thousand of your mighty soldiers,

and I will help you." As soon as he saw a window of opportunity, Rocky began to strike a bargain with

Flank.

"Really? Can you save me?" Flank got even more confused. These Heavenly Stage masters who

ambushed them were very violent and intense. Knowing this, Flank thought that there was no easy way

for Rocky to escape with him. In fact, they could only get away from them safely if Rocky was a master

at the Supernal Stage.

"So, is it a deal or not?" Rocky asked as he gave a smirk.

Flank was out of options. If he wanted to stay alive, then there was no other choice for him but to trust

Rocky at the moment and gamble at this time. Soon, he nodded his head and accepted Rocky's terms.

"Kill them all!" the black-robed spirit manipulator commanded the masters at the Heavenly Stage.

Soon, these masters flocked towards Rocky and Flank and began to attack.

They cooperated in such a harmonious way that they were able to block Rocky and Flank's way

instantly, leaving them unable to escape.

Meanwhile, an ear-splitting sound came from the ceiling of the side hall.

It was a wreck—shards of ice were splashed all over the place, and the tiles were blasted, leaving bits

of broken ceramic lying on the floor. These damages created a massive hole in the ceiling. Not long

after, a graceful figure with a Supernal Stage aura flew down from the sky. As she twirled and turned,

strong icy force roared out of her body, shocking the Heavenly Stage masters to their core.

All the Heavenly Stage masters were caught off guard at the sight of such formidable power. They

knew they were no match for her, so they immediately retreated under the woman's icy attack.

Without a doubt, it was no other than Sabina who came to rescue Rocky and Flank.

"I can't believe this! A Supernal Stage master!" The black-robed spirit manipulator was startled. He

didn't expect that a master at the Supernal Stage would suddenly appear out of thin air. Obviously, she

was here to save Rocky from their evil clutches. Sabina's strength posed a big problem to the other

masters. Even if they joined their hands and combined their power, there was no certainty that they

would be able to defeat Sabina. Moreover, being a master at the Supernal Stage, Sabina gave them

the fear of being seen through their identities.

"Retreat!" Undeniably, they were about to lose control of the situation. Soon enough, the black-robed

spirit manipulator ordered all his cohorts to disappear in the blink of an eye.

"I must say that there are quite a few perks for having a bodyguard at the Supernal Stage. Did you see

how terrified they were? Oh, I will make sure that everyone fears her." Rocky raised his eyebrows and

placed his gaze at Flank, whose face had changed.

"So, what about the five thousand soldiers that you promised me?" Rocky reminded Flank.

"Ah, yes. They shall be on the north of the city," Flank responded as he braced himself.

"Okay then, let's go together." Rocky grabbed Flank by the arm and nodded to Sabina.

It was not long after they had left for the north of the city.

In no time, Rocky saw that the five thousand soldiers that Flank had promised were real. However, as

soon as Rocky introduced himself and his intention, all of the five thousand soldiers, including some of

the spirit manipulators, got furious. They didn't expect that they had become deserters just because

they had obeyed Flank's orders.

After that, numerous abusive and hurtful words were thrown towards Flank.

"Don't go back to the Crimson Dragon Group. You know too much and Alston won't even spare your

life. If you don't want to die, then you'd better disappear completely. Don't leave any trace! Hear me out.

Your life is at stake!" Rocky warned as he cast a glance at Flank.

Afterwards, Rocky and Sabina both left the city over the night, leading a troop with five thousand

soldiers.

"I didn't expect him to keep his promise. I was really..." Flank looked at Rocky's back as the latter led

the troops away. He felt a sense of regret for being against Rocky in the past. If he had not done that,

then he would not have ended up like this today.

Meanwhile, Isis had her army organized and ready to move. When she received the news from Rocky,

she immediately left Heaven Unicorn City with five thousand troops.

After a day, Rocky and Isis successfully merged their forces of over ten thousand soldiers on their way

to Mont City.

As Alston learned that his plan to assassinate Rocky had failed, his face became dismal. No matter

how hard he tried, he could not imagine that there was a powerful master at the Supernal Stage

protecting Rocky. Before he knew about Rocky's true identity, Sabina had already secretly protected

him without showing up. Hence, Alston hadn't gotten any related updates regarding this matter, which

led his plan into a mishap.

His failure made him feel so uneasy. To add salt to the wound, he just got the news that Rocky had

mustered up a force of more than ten thousand soldiers all ready to attack Mont City.

"Damn it! You fucking bastard!" Alston never thought that Rocky could possibly destroy his elaborate

frame plan. He might have underestimated Rocky at this time. On the other hand, if Rocky took Mont

City back, then his plan would crumble and fail completely.

Although Alston was unwilling to admit defeat, he was still in no mood to deal with it. In fact, the

alliance of the Timber Deity Army and the Roaring Flame Army were not restrained at all after the

Crimson Dragon Army had withdrawn from their defensive line. Instead, they continued to attack

aggressively. Therefore, he had to immediately suppress the alliance of the Timber Deity Army and the

Roaring Flame Army before he could come up with a plan to deal with Rocky.

But in Alston's view, it was nearly impossible for Rocky and his troops to take Mont City back. After all,

it was so secured all thanks to the guarding forces of fifteen thousand soldiers from the Holy Sea

Empire. As long as the Holy Sea Empire did not initiate the attack, Rocky had no chance of taking Mont

City back, giving him the chance to deal with him personally.

"Watch Rocky closely. From now on, report his every move to me." Alston knew that if he wanted to

deal with Rocky, he had to know more about him, especially his weakness. Obviously, he already knew

that Rocky was no longer the weak and feeble Basil that he could deal with in a breeze.

Meanwhile, Rocky had already led the Crimson Dragon Army as far as two miles away from Mont City.

In that area, they set up a camp and discussed their plans.

"Rocky, the Holy Sea Empire has outnumbered us. It looks like we have no advantage if we take the

city by force. In this case, we have to find a way to close the gap," reported Isis.

"So this time, we will try our best to make the Holy Sea Empire expose their weakness to us. This is the

only way if we want to succeed in our plans!" Rocky uttered with a nod.

"I have studied the terrain around Mont City. In general, we have a lot of terrains that we can utilize.

However, it has its own pros and cons primarily because the enemy can take advantage of it too,"

explained Louis. owns this text.

"Do you have any idea if there is any terrain that is unknown to the enemy but suitable for an ambush?"

Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows. Deep in his brilliant mind, Rocky already had a plan that might

make the Holy Sea Empire fall into a trap.
