Chapter 579 Getting Caught On The Hop

"Of course, it is true that now I'm at the base camp of the Crimson Dragon Group and we were successful in completely occupying the base camp of the Crimson Dragon Group. So, it would be indeed very difficult for you to win this time," Woods replied noncommittally. Apparently, he was in full of confidence, but what he was unaware was that he had already walked into Rocky's trap.

"Don't you feel confused about my presence here?" Rocky asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Of course it's strange and I think there are only two reasons for you to come here. One is that you may have happened to pass by here just by chance. The other is that Lance might have asked you to help out the Crimson Dragon Army. However, it doesn't matter what the reason is. What's more important is that we meet again, so I am getting the chance to persuade you again..." Woods wasn't sure about the reason for Rocky's presence here. Even though he was here to rescue the Crimson Dragon Army, it was too late. On the contrary, Rocky's presence there saved Woods the trouble of finding him out. Woods originally had planned to talk to him only after the conquest of the Evian City, and then persuade him at all cost to join the Timber Deity Empire.

"To be honest, I am not here to help out the Crimson Dragon Group this time," Rocky responded while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I'm so glad to hear that. Even you wouldn't be able to turn defeat into victory. Moreover, the soldiers of Evian City have already retreated." Woods' words were filled with confidence.

"However, I have promised a person that I will protect the Evian City. So, I can't let the city be seized by the Timber Deity Empire..." Rocky made a sudden statement, changing the topic.

"So, you are going to protect the Evian City, that too all alone?" Though Woods was quite surprised by Rocky's words, he thought that Rocky was just reckless to say that.

"What if I trade myself for the Evian City?" Rocky made another astounding statement.

"You want to trade yourself for the Evian City?" Those words were another shocker for Woods. It never occurred to him that Rocky would have such an idea.

"So, Your Royal Highness, what is it that you are going to choose? Are you going to choose me or the Evian City?" Rocky already knew that Woods was inclined towards recruiting him to the Timber Deity Empire. So, he was deliberate in

ouse near the base camp observed the commotion inside the base camp. She thought with a frown, 'Oh, he is using himself as a bait. I hope he is careful enough not to fail!'

"It's about time." The woman looked up towards the moon. With her hand turning over, a red signal soared up into the sky.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Evian City, who were located at all four directions in the tunnel under the base camp, were getting ready to fight. When they saw the red signal rising up, they immediately began to counterattack the troops of the Timber Deity Empire, thus besieging the whole base camp.

About half an hour later, in the west of the base camp, several flames flew to the sky. And then the air was filled with sounds of fighting and screaming.

The soldiers in other three directions, east, south and north, also let out the daunting cries in unison, with an astonishing momentum.

In an instant, the whole Crimson Dragon Group's base camp was filled with soldiers. They were rushing towards the military camp of the Timber Deity Empire, with a series of fires lit around the whole place.

The troops of the Timber Deity Empire had fought for the whole day, so almost all of them in the camp were tired and were sleeping. They were totally off guard as they never expected the Evian City's soldiers to attack them by surprise in the night.

The Evian City's soldiers were all prepared to fight till death. They were not going to retreat unless they were to taste success. Their momentum was as astounding as the wave as they caught the Timber Deity Empire's troops on the hop.
