Chapter 705 The New Situation

Rocky asked immediately, "What's the reason for the second condition?"

"Our Holy Sea Empire attacked the Holy Dragon Empire because the Timber Deity Empire threatened us," Clark, the Commander in Chief of the Holy Sea Empire explained.

"I see. Alyssa used such a vicious method. I wonder what kind of threat it was! It must have been serious as it caused your empire to break our alliance and even attack us!" Rocky wondered. He wanted to know the truth so that he could understand Alyssa better, but even without the truth, he already saw her as the cruelest and most unscrupulous woman in the world.

"I am sorry but I can't explain more to you. I hope you will agree with the second condition, ' Clark replied as he shook his head. He seemed to have some secret that he was not allowed to let Rocky know.

Meanwhile, Rocky was studying him intently, as if he was searching for something, and then he nodded to himself after a short tense-filled silence. After all, he didn't want to lose his focus on what was more important, which was to take back Mont City. "Okay, I accept. I promise to do so, on my honor as the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army."

"I believe you, Rocky. I hope you will fulfill your promise!" Clark said happily, once the agreement passed through Rocky's lips.

And Rocky nodded solemnly, but inside, he was truly relieved that they had solved their problem.

Only a day later, Clark and the other troops of the Holy Sea Empire had retreated from Mont City, and they were headed back to the border of their empire. Finally, the Crimson Dragon Army had successfully taken back Mont City and saved the lives of many people.

Once he had dealt with the matters of Mont City, Rocky asked Louis to return to the main camp on the front line, together with Allen and the members of the Elite Regiment. Meanwhile, Isis and Sabina went back to the headquarters in Evian City with him.

They arrived at the headquarters quickly, where they went to meet with Lance. "Father," Rocky and Isis greeted him tiredly. They hadn't had the opportunity to rest yet, so they were running a bit ragged.

They were in Lance's study, and Rocky was reporting to Lance about his conversation with Clark and all the things that he had learned. Lance was listening to him with full focus, outraged and surprised by the information he managed to obtain.

"I can't believe that the Holy Sea Empire was threatened by the Timber Deity Empire," Lance murmured, almost to himself, as he shook his head. They originally thought that the people from the Holy Sea Empire planned to take advantage of the situation and loot, but now it seemed that it wasn't that simple.

"The

rdered by the emperor to be exiled to the Gehenna Border. Thus, he wasn't permitted to go back to the city without the order of the emperor, or he would risk violating the emperor's order, which meant that he would be doubly punished. In his mind, Rocky knew that it wasn't the right time yet. Although Lance trusted him, he still couldn't fight Alston by relying on the forces of the Crimson Dragon Group alone. He still needed the support of many forces, such as the spirit manipulators' clans of the Holy Dragon Empire. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to defeat Alston, and he couldn't take back his identity as the prince. All his previous efforts would all be in vain.

"I told you that I'll handle it. You can rest easy and go to the Imperial City," Lance repeated with a trace of annoyance and confusion in his voice. He expected that the two of them would at least feel more comfortable in the Imperial City, away from the eldest prince who was targeting Rocky, but he had the impression that they didn't want to go. He wondered what could be stopping the two from leaving. If Rocky was truly a member of the royal family, then his secret identity would be revealed if he returned to the Imperial City.

He observed Rocky, who looked like he had more to say, but Isis stopped him by pulling his sleeves. She whispered to him, "Rocky, just listen to what our father said. It's for our own good."

At this, Rocky settled down, but he was caught in a dilemma. He couldn't refuse Lance's proposal directly, but he couldn't go back to the Imperial City either. He sighed as he felt a headache coming on.

"You can go and rest now." Lance waved his hand and said, effectively dismissing any more protests from Rocky.

At this, Isis nodded respectfully at her father, and left with Rocky.
