Chapter 582 Deep In Thought

"Which Commander knows most about the defense of the base camp?" Rocky asked intently, not wasting any time. It encouraged him to act more as a leader after seeing that the Commanders had no objection and were all obedient to him.

"Commander Lin used to be responsible for the defense and arrangement of the Evian City and the base camp," Commander Wang said to answer Rocky's question.

"Well, then please tell me how many defenses there are in the base camp that we can use..." Rocky turned to Commander Lin to ask, nodding. Rocky needed everyone's input to construct a plan that would work.

"I have a map of the base camp's defenses distribution. Aside from Commander in Chief and Deputy Commander in Chief, others including Elite Commanders can't see it without Commander in Chief's permission. But now the situation is quite special, so... " Hesitating for a while, Commander Lin took out a folded parchment of a sketched map from the pocket of his uniform and handed it to Rocky.

Rocky took the parchment and opened it. He spread it closer to the light and leaned in to look at it closer. His brows were crossed and he was tracing his pointing fingers in the map from one area to another. After a moment of contemplation, he looked up at Commander Lin and asked, "Are there any traps at all the passages in the base camp?"

"Yes, there are some. These traps have been designed by the Commander in Chief in case the Evian City would be conquered one day. Thus, the base camp can also become a defense barrier. The main gate, the west gate and the north gate also have traps, which can help strengthen the overall defense of the city," Commander Lin responded firmly.

"Huh, it's as if the Commander in Chief can foresee the future. With these traps, it would be difficult for the troops of the Timber Deity Empire to attack. This can buy us some time," Rocky responded with a serious look on his face. He turned to Commander Lin and said, "Please activate all the traps right away. It won't be long until about ten thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire surround the whole base camp."

The moment those Commanders heard Rocky's words, worried expressions stirred on their faces. Once the Timber Deity Empire's soldiers besieged the base camp, it would mean that they and the Evian City's garrison would be trapped in the camp. With the remaining about ten thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire, they would be able to break through the defense of the base camp sooner or later.

"I'll do it right now." Commander Lin led two soldiers

not what she would have done before. It seemed that she was not aloof and ruthless anymore when she was with Rocky.

"It's too late to back down now. Moreover, if the Evian City is conquered, it is not just the matter of several thousand lives. The reason why the Timber Deity Empire attacks the Evian City is because they want to use this city as their bargaining chip..." After having his conversation with Woods, Rocky learned that the real purpose of the Timber Deity Empire wasn't to attack and occupy the Evian City. Instead, what they were planning to benefit from the city came after conquering it.

"Chip? Is it possible that the Timber Deity Empire intends to use the Evian City to threaten the Holy Dragon Empire?" Sabina guessed after hearing Rocky's words.

"I don't know. However, I promised Sue that I will protect the Evian City. I will definitely go all out and do my best not to let the Timber Deity Empire succeed..." Rocky said with a firm look on his face.

"Sue? That girl?" Hearing Rocky's response startled Sabina as she didn't expect that he made up his mind to protect the city just for a girl named Sue. Rocky even ignored the order of Lance, the Crimson Dragon Group's Commander in Chief, but he was willing to risk his life for a girl who had no blood relationship with him. This fact amazed Sabina, but at the same time, made her curious about Rocky and Sue's relationship.

'What kind of person is he?' she thought to herself. All of a sudden, she realized that she knew nothing about him. However, she understood that the fate of the Evian City and the crisis the Holy Dragon Empire was facing were on the hands of Rocky, and his thoughts were set because of this girl...
