Chapter 698 A Heavy Blow

"All soldiers, retreat!" At this point, Rocky commanded the Crimson Dragon Army and they retreated quickly into the Yu City.

The soldiers of the Holy Sea Empire, who just arrived in the city, failed to attack the Crimson Dragon Army. However, the two commanders of the Holy Sea Empire didn't want to give up that easily. They immediately commanded their troops to attack the city.

After a day and a night, the troops of the Holy Sea Empire lost another three thousand soldiers without even breaking through the city gate. Because of the heavy losses, the Holy Sea Empire troops stopped attacking.

The next day, the Holy Sea Empire troops, worn out and defeated, suddenly left the Yu City.

At that point, when Rocky saw from the wall of the Yu City that the troops of the Holy Sea Empire had retreated, he immediately turned to Isis and the others. He said, "My guts are telling me that the Holy Sea Empire soldiers may be heading towards the Heaven Unicorn City. Isis, you and Commander Qin lead three thousand soldiers to guard this city. Sabina and I will lead the remaining five thousand soldiers to go back to watch over the Heaven Unicorn City."

"But are five thousand soldiers enough to protect the Heaven Unicorn City? I am worried that we may be outnumbered," Isis spoke worriedly. The Heaven Unicorn City was easy to attack but hard to defend. And they only had five thousand soldiers there, while the Holy Sea Empire had at least twelve thousand soldiers. Even if they defended till death, they might not be able to protect the city.

"We have to at least try our best. I believe in the capabilities of our soldiers. As long as we can protect the Heaven Unicorn City, the three cities will be safe. Besides, I think the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers or so will definitely not be sent out that easily if the Holy Sea Empire wants to defend the Mont City," Rocky stated firmly and assertively. He firmly believed that as long as they could defend the Heaven Unicorn City, they would have the upper hand during the battle.

"Okay, just please be careful in dealing with the Holy Sea Empire. I'll recruit more soldiers in the Yu City to assist you..." Isis said. Her face was really painted with worry.

Rocky and Sabina hurried to the Heaven Unicorn City after the discussion. They led five thousand soldiers to defend the city.

One day later, the two commanders of the Holy Sea Empire along with twelve thousand soldiers arrived at the Heaven Unicorn City. When they saw that there was no one guarding the city wall, they immediately launched a

"Your Royal Highness, I am afraid to tell you that something terrible happened." Just then, a Frontline Commander rushed in hurriedly.

"What is this terrible thing that happened?" Alston shouted angrily as he glared at the Frontline Commander.

"I have received the information from the right-wing defense line that thirty thousand Timber Deity Empire soldiers suddenly appeared at the right-wing, and the soldiers of the Magic Dragon Army were attacked as they were off guard. They suffered a great loss..." the Frontline Commander reported in a trembling voice. He seemed scared by the situation.

"What?" Alston was completely shocked.

"Your Royal Highness! Grave news!" Just then, another Frontline Commander rushed in.

Alston's face darkened. He stared at the Frontline Commander with raging anger in his eyes.

"The Roaring Flame Empire soldiers have suddenly launched an attack..." the Frontline Commander, who just came in, uttered in a low voice as he trembled with fear.

These pieces of bad news were undoubtedly a blow to Alston. He was confident that it was a piece of cake to deal with Rocky. And since the Crimson Dragon Army was in a dominant position, it would be easy to break through the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line. However, he didn't expect that the situation would suddenly change into something terrible like this.

Two days later, when the Timber Deity Empire troops got their reinforcements, they joined hands with the Roaring Flame Empire troops to fight against the Crimson Dragon Army. The soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army were forced to retreat back. In desperation, Alston had no choice but to gather all the soldiers and retreat to the front-line main camp.
