"Sir, I'm the one who broke through the north gate. I'm here already. You don't need to search for me anymore," Rocky said as he approached the prefect of the Evian City. His expression was stone cold.
"Ahem!" the prefect coughed. He seemed to fear Rocky, hence the intentional cough. "There seems to be a misunderstanding, right?" The prefect smiled nervously in a feeble attempt to drop the matter. He didn't want to make matters worse. After all, he did see Rocky with the Crimson Dragon Token.
"Misunderstanding? Sir, the Evian City is about to fall into the hands of the enemy. Yet, you've asked your men to shut the gates, trapping the citizens inside. What do you want? If the army of the Timber Deity Empire had attacked the city, do you know how many innocent people would have been killed by them?" Rocky's eyes burned with intense fury.
The prefect grew sulky upon hearing Rocky's words. A moment of silence passed, as he had no retort to what Rocky said.
Meanwhile, the other Commanders present were stunned. They couldn't believe Rocky was bold enough to question the decision of the prefect. The prefect was the leader of the city; everyone was meant to respect him. Save for the Commander in Chief and Deputy Commander in Chief, everyone in the Crimson Dragon Group including the Elite Commanders dared not offend him.
"Rocky Bai, quit being so arrogant. You are just a breeder of the logistics camp. How dare you be so rude to the prefect! You are courting death," Flank reprimanded angrily. He had a good relationship with the prefect, so he rushed to defend him, even if it meant being rude to Rocky.
"A breeder? This man is just a breeder? But he showed..." The prefect trailed off in disbelief. He was utterly confused. If Rocky was just a breeder, then where did he get the Crimson Dragon Token? Could he have been fooled by Rocky? Was his Crimson Dra
Token back to Commander Wang. He then strolled to Sabina and whispered something in her ear.
Listening carefully, Sabina was initially shocked at Rocky's words, but quickly nodded.
After having said his piece to Sabina, Rocky left the room without looking back, leaving the crowd stunned.
"Commander Sabina, what did Commander Rocky say to you just now?" Commander Wang asked Sabina with a raised eyebrow. Watching Rocky leave, Commander Wang glanced at the Crimson Dragon Token in his hand.
The other Commanders also looked at Sabina, curious to hear what Rocky whispered.
"He told us to not think about any plans anymore," Sabina answered coldly.
"That naughty boy! He is trying to be mysterious again." Sheridan tilted his head back and laughed. He still sat cross legged, looking very relaxed, unlike the rest of the Commanders who seemed to be very anxious.
"What's that supposed to mean?" The Commanders looked to Sabina for answers.
"Rocky has already made a plan for tomorrow. I will explain the plan to all of you," Sabina declared proudly.
All the Commanders were stunned. Didn't Rocky initially say he didn't want to issue orders regarding the defenses of Evian City? Why did he suddenly strategize an operation now?
