Chapter 674 Mixed Emotions

After going through a long and difficult journey, Laney, the emissary of the Timber Deity Empire, arrived at the military camp of the Roaring Flame Empire. She then settled on the left defense line of the Timber Deity Empire.

When Laney got off the carriage, a valiant and fearless looking man stepped forward to greet her.

"Commander-in-chief Leo." Laney recognized the man right away. With her hands folded in front of her, she bent her knees and bowed to him in respect.

"You must be the famous Miss Laney." The moment Blood Lord Leo saw Laney, his eyes lit up and a blush of red colored his cheeks. He was a ladies' man, and Laney's presence took his breath away.

"Friends told me that Miss Laney from the Timber Deity Empire is a beautiful lady with great musical skills. Now that I met you, I could say that you really deserve the reputation. You're truly beautiful, Miss Laney!"

"Commander in Chief, thank you so much! I am very flattered!" Laney's beautiful eyes sparkled as she smiled. Her smiling face and kind words delighted Blood Lord Leo to no end, and he could not stop looking at her.

"I have arranged a banquet for you. Miss Laney, this way, please." Blood Lord Leo led the way and gestured for her to follow.

Laney nodded softly and followed him with a smile on her face. The attention warmed her heart, and she was excited to see what they had prepared for her.

Blood Lord Leo and Laney walked into a bright tent. It was surrounded by fresh flowers and long tables filled with excellent wines and generous servings of food.

"Forgive us, if this is the most that we could offer to welcome the beautiful Miss Laney. You know that we are located at the outermost edge, and in this area enjoyable things are hard to come by. Please take a seat and enjoy the food that our people had prepared for you." Blood Lord Leo bowed his head as he finished his emotional welcome speech for Laney. He then sat down and gestured her to sit.

"You are so kind, Commander in Chief. I am just a humble envoy. You don't have to treat me like this," Laney said with a polite smile as she sat down.

"Miss Laney, you are the most cherished person of Princess Alyssa. You deserve every honor and respect," Blood Lord Leo replied.

Laney smiled to herself, flattered with the commander's words. She then picked up the wine pot, filled the glass in front of Blood Lord Leo, and then poured wine for herself. She raised the glass in front of her and said, "On behalf of our princess, I salute and thank you Commander in Chief." Without another word, Laney finished the wine on her glass.

"Ha-ha! I did not expect Miss Laney to be so bold and outspoken." Blood Lord Leo also f

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

il smoke came out.

Laney, who was now out of the tent, looked back and shook her head in disgust. "I thought Blood Lord Leo was an amazing man. It turned out that he is just an old skirt-chaser. I could not rely on such people. I don't even think he was half as good as that Rocky. No wonder he suffered a crushing defeat the last time!

This trip is in vain! Maybe I should just take this chance to meet that Rocky and settle our matters before I leave." Hatred filled Laney's heart at the thought of Rocky. She clenched her fists as she tried to get hold of her anger.

The following day, Blood Lord Leo took Laney's advice and stopped the attack preparation for Crimson Dragon Army. He asked his army to return to the left wing of the defensive line and to hold their position there. Rocky became curious and felt annoyed when he learned about the news. But what made him more annoyed was the news sent by Allen.

"The emissary of the Timber Deity Empire is someone called Laney?" Rocky was surprised when he heard the name "Laney" and frowned for a while.

"That name sounds so familiar. I'm sure this was not the first time that I heard that name!" Isis could not remember where and when she heard this name, but it did sound very familiar.

"She used to be the belle of the Geisha House in Evian City, and she was very famous then. Several commanders from our Crimson Dragon Group were her guests. But she also has an undercover identity. She is a spy of the Timber Deity Empire," Rocky explained as he tried to calm himself. He did not tell anyone about Laney, because he never had the reason to tell anyone about her. Also, he had a strange relationship with Laney, which made things very complicated.

Allen and Isis stood in amazement as Rocky explained everything to them.
