Chapter 455 The Best Choice

"So, the Commander in Chief wants me to intercept the main army of the Timber Deity Empire at the Nine Grottoes, and this would buy some time for the main base to assemble the army." Rocky perceived Lance's intention immediately.

Isis nodded casually in agreement. Though it didn't show up on her face, she was quite surprised to see Rocky's ability to decipher her father's mind in a flash.

Just then, Marin, Sabina and Dunn arrived at the scene and Isis filled them in on what was happening at the frontline.

"So what are we waiting for now? I shall have the army assembled immediately." Marin turned and left the tent.

Dunn followed behind her.

Now, there were only Rocky, Isis and Sabina left at the tent. All of a sudden, a weird silence fell between them. They looked at each other, lost in their own thoughts.

Eventually Rocky broke the silence and asked Isis, "How long will it take to get to the Nine Grottoes if we set off now?"

"At least a day and a half. I'm afraid that the main army of the Timber Deity Empire might already be on their way to the frontline," Isis said in a worried tone.

"That's very unlikely. We have already burnt down their six supply ships in this battle and my guess is that those supplies on the ships were prepared for their main army. Without those supplies they could hardly make any move in a short time." Rocky shook his head.

"So, it's part of your plan and you have already seen this coming?" Sabina was quite surprised. She had been wondering why Rocky had taken all the trouble to burn down the six ships, and now, she had her answer.

"By gaining control of the Hippo Land, they want to make sure that as their main army advance into the heartland, they would receive their food and supplies as soon as possible. It doesn't take a genius to know that the six supply ships are for their main army." Rocky had thought about it in advance. In order to stop the advancement of the Timber Deity Empire, it was most important to cut off their supplies. This was the reason why he chose the Hippo Land as his p

ried resignedly.

"We need you now." Though Isis was unwilling to admit, the truth was that Rocky had brought a sense of reassurance to the Crimson Dragon Army. They believed that as long as they had Rocky with them they were invincible.

"I will certainly rethink about it. But now if you will excuse me…" Rocky replied as he exited the Commander's tent.

"Isis, do you really think he will come back?" Sabina squinted at Rocky's retreating back and turned to ask Isis.

That was when Isis realized what had just happened. She dashed out of the tent but Rocky was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn you, Rocky! Don't let me see you again!" Isis shouted exasperatedly. She had never expected Rocky to leave this way.

Hearing her shout, all the soldiers in the camp were startled, as they had never seen Isis so angry.

Rocky, who had run away from Isis' grasp, was riding on Rubygon and threading his way through the marsh area, knowing that if he had chosen the main road, it would be easy for Isis to intercept him on her Silver Wind. Just like that, he quickly left the Hippo Land quietly and quickly.

"The Myriad Beasts Ground at the Gehenna Border is the best place for me to break through into the next level. It is dangerous, but now, it is my best option." Rocky muttered to himself as he patted at Rubygon's back. Then they raced towards the Myriad Beasts Ground.
