Chapter 602 It's Her

"Miss Laney, you are so fearless. If the Evian City is conquered, the troops of the Timber Deity Empire will show no mercy to you. They will want to kill you the moment they see you," Rocky uttered with a smile. He got morose earlier, but now he felt relieved.

"Mr. Bai, do you forget that I'm from the Timber Deity Empire? Even if the Evian City is captured, those soldiers would not do anything to me. This is for the mere reason that I am also a member of the Timber Deity Empire..." Laney replied in a soft, calm voice. Her eyes gleamed as she spoke.

"Even so, it's still dangerous for you to stay here alone." Rocky furrowed his eyebrows. His worries were visible on his face.

"I have encountered many dangerous situations. This is not a big deal." Laney smiled and then asked, "The Timber Deity Empire troops have already retreated, right?"

"How do you know that?" Rocky's eyes narrowed.

"There was a commotion in the base camp before, but now it has become quiet. Also, you came here so nonchalantly, which means that the city is safe now," Laney responded as she blinked.

"You are so clever, Miss Laney," Rocky praised with a smile.

"I assume you must have made the greatest contribution in protecting the Evian City this time," Laney spoke, staring at Rocky with her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were so mesmerizing, as if they were shining.

"How are you so sure?" Rocky asked while raising his eyebrows.

"I've heard a lot about you. What I know from the things I've heard assures me that you did," Laney replied.

"What if I tell you I did not make a great contribution?" Rocky said with a slight shrug.

"Then you must be lying to me," Laney said firmly. Rocky found her expressions delicate and her face attractive.

Seeing this, Rocky couldn't help but laugh and he began to be in a better mood.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Laney asked upon seeing Rocky laugh. She couldn't hide her embarrassment.

"It's late now, Miss Laney. You'd better go to bed early. Don't play the zither again. Otherwise, someone might harbor the malicious intention towards you when they hear your pleasant musical sound," Rocky uttered as he shook his head, noticing that it was late now and the surrounding was dark.

"No, there's no one in the Evian City. I've played the zither for so long, and so far,

mpire, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, who hadn't received the report of the battle of the Evian City yet, sat on his dragon throne in the Grand Holy Hall. He looked rather restless. Two days ago, he had received the message that the Evian City was going to be attacked by thirty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire, and that there were not enough Evian City soldiers to resist, so the city might be conquered soon. Because of this, he was very worried. After all, the Evian City was a border stronghold. If the Evian City was conquered, the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire would be under great threat. If that happened, the citizens of the city would suffer a lot of trouble and the war would take place. This was a burden for the whole country.

The offciers of military affairs of the Holy Dragon Empire were also whispering their worries to each other, looking at each other in dismay. They knew that if they lost the Evian City, the Holy Dragon Empire would be in trouble.

"Father, please let me personally head for the Gehenna Border," Alston uttered in a determined tone as he stood in front of the officers.

'I'm afraid that the battle might be over when you get there," the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire responded, waving his hand dismissively.

When Alston heard his response, he seemed a little disappointed. Of course, he was just trying to look good and make a show by saying that. He would not go to the Gehenna Border anyway. But when the Gehenna Border was mentioned, he thought of his brother, Basil, who was also there.
