Chapter 603 He Went Missing

One year ago, when Basil was sent to the Gehenna Border, Alston felt relieved since Basil was a big problem for him and his plans. Besides, Alston also knew that the spirit manipulators who were sent to the Gehenna Border seldom had chances to come back. Especially, with Basil's strength at the first grade of the Earthly Stage, he might have already died in the battlefield. Alston had almost forgotten the existence of Basil. If it wasn't for the battle between the Crimson Dragon Army and the Timber Deity Empire, he probably wouldn't have remembered Basil.

"Everyone, I'd like to hear your opinions," said the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire in a grave tone.

"Your Majesty, according to the emergency report, General Lance is unable to return to the Evian City in time due to an ambush. I'm afraid the safety of the Evian City is fraught with grim possibilities. We should make a plan to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, if the Evian City falls into the enemy's hands, the Holy Dragon Empire will lose face. The Crimson Dragon Army is so useless! If they lose the Evian City to the Timber Deity Empire, they must take full responsibility."

"If the Evian City falls into the hands of the Timber Deity Empire, they will definitely take the opportunity to make unreasonable requests, but we will never compromise!"

The military officers also shared their own opinions, the aggressiveness never leaving their faces as they spoke their hearts out. But they all thought of one same thing: the Evian City was going to fall into the enemy's hands.

"Marcia, what do you think?" The emperor's face turned solemn when he heard the military officers' words. Then, he turned to a beauty standing at the corner, waiting for her reply. The beauty was none other than Marcia. She nodded to the emperor and took a step forward to make her presence known.

"The reason why the Crimson Dragon Army suffered such a huge loss this time is that they underestimated the enemy's capabilities. Moreover, the Commander in Chief of the Timber Deity Empire is Alyssa Mu. Have I mentioned her to you before, Your Majesty? Last time, when I was ordered to search for the treasure, I met her. She is not a simple and easy person!" Marcia said coldly. If it were not for Basil, also known to some as Rocky who had come in time to save her, the consequences would've been unthinkable.

"I've heard of other things about Princess Alyssa as well. She was sent to the spiritual race at an

ttlefield." Alston laughed like a devil.

"That's what you truly want, isn't it?" said Priest Dean with an evil smile.

"He deserves it. He overestimated himself and..." Thinking of what happened in the past, Alston felt deep resentment, and his eyes turned ferocious.

"By the way, I received news from the Dragon Master Clan that Her Royal Highness has already finished her cultivation, and not long after that, she would return to the Holy Dragon Empire," said Priest Dean when he remembered the news.

"Lena is coming back?" Alston was surprised. Lena left the Holy Dragon Empire and went to the Dragon Master Clan without telling anyone. She derailed all his plans.

"Your Royal Highness, it seems that you need to work hard this time. If you can win Her Royal Highness's heart, you will be in a stable position as the successor. The other princes do not have the strength to compete against you," Priest Dean reminded him.

"I have my own plans. There's no need for you to concern yourself with that matter," Alston replied and left silently.

The next day after the victory of the Evian City over the war, Lance finally returned to the city. He looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept for days. It seemed that a lot of things had happened to him during his disappearance.

After Lance went back to the headquarters of Crimson Dragon Group, he didn't have time to rest, and immediately summoned all the Commanders first thing.

Many people gathered in the conference hall, including Sabina and Allen, the head of the Elite Regiment.

"Where is Rocky?" Lance asked in confusion. Everyone was present, but Rocky was nowhere to be seen.
