Chapter 451 Too Bad To Be Saved

Rocky felt indifferent as the strange glances came from the people around him. While he withdrew his eyes, he found where Sabina was.

Sabina was standing next to Uriah and Rubygon, and there was gauze wrapped on Rubygon's body. He thought that someone took good care of his spirit-manipulated beast.

Rocky walked straight towards them. Both Uriah and Rubygon cheered up when they noticed that their master came closer, the excitement was evident on their faces.

Sabina turned around to where Rubygon and Uriah were looking, and she found out that it was Rocky. Her eyes stared at him coldly. "So, looks like you're all right, aren't you?" she asked in a cold tone.

"Yes. I guess I'm okay and feeling fine because of your kind bless!" Rocky replied in a funny tone, regardless of how cold Sabina responded to him. "By the way, what happened yesterday on the battlefield?" he added.

"You don't remember anything?" Sabina queried with a confused look on her face. She quite not understood why he asked such a question right now.

"Not so much, I could only recall a few," Rocky said. He could only remember a fragmented part of the whole event yesterday. But he barely knew nothing about that part where Sabina saved his life at the end.

"Oh, that," Sabina responded in a flat tone. Her cold face showed that she cared nothing about whether Rocky was alive or not.

"I guess I was out of control again, wasn't I?" He stated as his eyes became sharp. Deep in his heart, he already had an answer to his question. This was not the first time that he encountered something like this. Due to that, he familiarized the feelings during the first time, it was like being engulfed in a flash by endless darkness.

"Again? What did you mean? Have you ever been like this before?" Sabina asked. She was puzzled and surprised by his statement.

"I had another time when I encountered the same situation just like what happened yesterday." Rocky nodded his acknowledgment in a calm tone. He recalled the day when Marcia forcibly sealed the power of the Holy Dragon Bead inside his body. After that, he became an ordinary spirit manipulator from a royal spirit manipulator, with a much lower level of power. He kept a grudge on Marcia ever since she took away Rocky's identity as a royal spirit manipulator by sealing his inner power. However, after experiencing the mutation of his body once again, he understood now why she had to put the nine-layer seal upon him. Because if she hadn't done so, he would be devoured by the evil forces inside him quickly once he lost control of his body.

Sabina understood right away why her master Marcia asked her to come with the Dragon Twined Wood and protect Rocky back then because Marcia predicted that the evil power inside Rocky's body would blast off again.

However, Sabina could not

d news was on its way. Just as the old saying said, when things went too far, they would go the other way.

Before Lance and other commanders could discuss the further plan for the battle, the bad news arrived carried by the Carrier Beast.

"What are you saying?! We just lost the field of the Nine Grottoes? How was that possible?! The main forces of the Timber Deity Empire shouldn't have arrived at that place!" Lance spoke out of great shock. He found the bad news hard to digest.

What Lance heard before was, the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire would move to the south after they held the field of the Dead Silence Mount, and they would head for another strategic site of the Crimson Dragon Army, the Nine Snakes Gorge. He had made adequate preparations at the Nine Snakes Gorge before the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire arrived to make sure that they had no way to escape the clutches. He planned to lead the army in person as soon as the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire arrived at Nine Snakes Gorge because he thought that it would encourage the soldiers.

Lance didn't expect the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire would change their plan and fought for the Nine Grottoes instead. He had no idea that the Timber Deity Empire would pretend to take another path while sneaking down the other.

Worse, the Nine Grottoes was the last defense for the frontline of the Crimson Dragon Army. It would be possible for the Timber Deity Empire to attack the frontline if they got ahold of the field. Also, most of the forces of the Crimson Dragon Army were separated in different strategic sites, with only several thousands of soldiers left in the frontline at this moment. In other words, if the main forces of their opponent concentrated all their power and attacked the frontline, none on the frontline of the Crimson Dragon Army would be able to survive.
