While the two of them were intensely indulged in their own thoughts, a spirit manipulator suddenly barged into the tent. "We received an important report from Mont City, saying that the Holy Sea Empire has rallied its forces again."
Everyone ultimately fell silent at the unexpected report, and their heads slightly tilted to one side. It seemed that the Holy Sea Empire was determined to take over the Mont City.
Apart from Rocky, everyone else's attention was fixed on Alston, who was supposed to deal with the Holy Sea Empire after he went to the Gehenna Border. But now, it seemed that the enemy had no plans of negotiating and even plotted to go against them, the Holy Dragon Empire.
"Damn it! The Holy Sea Empire has gone too far!" Alston exclaimed, stomping his right foot hard while rubbing his temple with his right hand.
"Your Royal Highness, I think we should try to recruit more reinforcements. If the Mont City can last for a few days until the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire breaks, the Crimson Dragon Army will be able to assist the city," Lance proposed, mustering his courage with a heavy breath and intently looking at Alston.
"It will take at least two or three days even if we transfer reinforcements now, and the Mont City can't last for that long! Once the Holy Sea Empire army puts its stake on it, the Mont City will be destroyed!" Alston answered with finality, now with both his hands on his waist.
"Maybe it's better to have Commander in Chief Rocky go to the Mont City and command the city guards. With his ability, he may be able to lead them to last for a few more days," Elite Commander Lin suggested with a hopeful smile as if a bulb had lit up on his head.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly turned to look at Rocky, waiting for his response.
"Yeah! That's a good idea!" The other Elite Commanders agreed, nodding frantically in utter expectation.
Meanwhile, Lance and Isis kept their mouths shut, denying their opinions to be expressed. If Rocky went to the Mont City, then who was going to command the Crimson Dragon Army to break through the defense line of Timber Deity Empire? Without him, it would be more challenging to achieve that.
"I'm afraid this won't be good. We still need Commander in Chief Rocky to lead the Crimson Dragon Army in penetrating the left wing defense line of the Timber Deity Empire. He has just frustrated the Roaring Flame Empire army, and it's a perfect time for him to take advantage of that victory. If we send him to the Mont City at this moment,
"Commander in Chief Lance, you heard Commander in Chief Rocky's words. You must know how to deal with him better than I do." Scheming as he was, Alston was obviously trying to put pressure on Lance, forcing him to send Rocky to the Mont City.
Lance raised his head to look at Rocky, his brows slightly furrowed as he took his time to think. After a few seconds of contemplating, he then cocked his head to Alston and asked in a serious tone, "Your Royal Highness, if you transfer Rocky to the Mont City, who would replace him in leading the battle against the Timber Deity Empire? I have fought with Princess Alyssa many times, but I have never won, not even once. Commander in Chief Rocky, on the other hand, has won so many battles against her, and even I feel ashamed of my inferiority. If only there is someone who can take over Commander in Chief Rocky's position in dealing with the Timber Deity Empire, then I'd be more than eager to send him to Mont City without any hesitation. Your Royal Highness, if you have someone in mind, you have to guarantee that he can break the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire. And if he fails, will you be fully responsible for it? If that happens, I will report everything to His Majesty."
Lance's snooty inquest immediately made Alston's face grim and his eyes stern cold. The prince could tell that Lance was siding with his half-brother and even protecting him. He even had the guts to frame him into taking responsibility if he would push through with his idea of sending Rocky to Mont City.
'I didn't expect that Lance would be so protective of Rocky, ' Alston thought to himself, flashing an evil smile as a vile idea came to his head.
