Chapter 700 A Promise

"Really? Are you certain? I don't think that you are responsible for the ambush outside," Rocky said as a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"What did you say?!" Flank's eyes widened and he immediately stood up in shock.

After a while, a few figures started to break in via the side hall's window and door, scattering shards of wood everywhere on the floor. With no time left to spare, they surrounded Rocky and Flank. All of them exuded an aura of the Heavenly Stage. In fact, one of their members had even reached the seventh grade of the Heavenly Stage.

"Now that you have seen it with your own eyes, you have to believe it. It appears that Alston plans to frame you right after he takes my life," Rocky added as he looked calmly at Flank.

Seeing the evidence right in front of him, Flank suddenly came into his senses that Rocky was indeed, telling the truth. His once lively face had turned ashen in fear, for he finally realized that he would be the next one to be killed.

"I can save you, Flank. But only under one condition: give me five thousand of your mighty soldiers, and I will help you." As soon as he saw a window of opportunity, Rocky began to strike a bargain with Flank.

"Really? Can you save me?" Flank got even more confused. These Heavenly Stage masters who ambushed them were very violent and intense. Knowing this, Flank thought that there was no easy way for Rocky to escape with him. In fact, they could only get away from them safely if Rocky was a master at the Supernal Stage.

"So, is it a deal or not?" Rocky asked as he gave a smirk.

Flank was out of options. If he wanted to stay alive, then there was no other choice for him but to trust Rocky at the moment and gamble at this time. Soon, he nodded his head and accepted Rocky's terms.

"Kill them all!" the black-robed spirit manipulator commanded the masters at the Heavenly Stage. Soon, these masters flocked towards Rocky and Flank and began to attack.

They cooperated in such a harmonious way that they were able to block Rocky and Flank's way instantly, leaving them unable to escape.

Meanwhile, an ear-splitting sound came from the ceiling of the side hall.

It was a wreck—shards of ice were splashed all over the place, and the tiles were blasted, leaving bits of broken ceramic lying on the floor. These damages created a massive hole in the ceiling. Not long after, a graceful figure with a Supernal Stage aura flew down from the sky. As she twirled and turned, strong icy force roared out of her body, shocking the Heavenly Stage masters to t

could come up with a plan to deal with Rocky.

But in Alston's view, it was nearly impossible for Rocky and his troops to take Mont City back. After all, it was so secured all thanks to the guarding forces of fifteen thousand soldiers from the Holy Sea Empire. As long as the Holy Sea Empire did not initiate the attack, Rocky had no chance of taking Mont City back, giving him the chance to deal with him personally.

"Watch Rocky closely. From now on, report his every move to me." Alston knew that if he wanted to deal with Rocky, he had to know more about him, especially his weakness. Obviously, he already knew that Rocky was no longer the weak and feeble Basil that he could deal with in a breeze.

Meanwhile, Rocky had already led the Crimson Dragon Army as far as two miles away from Mont City. In that area, they set up a camp and discussed their plans.

"Rocky, the Holy Sea Empire has outnumbered us. It looks like we have no advantage if we take the city by force. In this case, we have to find a way to close the gap," reported Isis.

"So this time, we will try our best to make the Holy Sea Empire expose their weakness to us. This is the only way if we want to succeed in our plans!" Rocky uttered with a nod.

"I have studied the terrain around Mont City. In general, we have a lot of terrains that we can utilize. However, it has its own pros and cons primarily because the enemy can take advantage of it too," explained Louis.

"Do you have any idea if there is any terrain that is unknown to the enemy but suitable for an ambush?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows. Deep in his brilliant mind, Rocky already had a plan that might make the Holy Sea Empire fall into a trap.
