Boyd and the other commanders couldn't help but cast a few more glances at the three women. They couldn't imagine what this Prince Crimson was thinking by bringing these beautiful and charming women when he was supposed to help the Black Dragon Group out. Before they could even hear him out, they had already regarded him as a mere lecher.
"Family members'?" Isis couldn't help but raise her brows unpleasantly. "Commander in Chief, don't you know her?" she asked as she pointed at Sabina's direction.
"Well, should I? Who is she then?" Boyd actually hadn't met Sabina before because he was stationed in the border all year long. Except going to the Imperial City to give his regular report to the emperor a couple of times throughout the year, he hardly got the chance to encounter the members of the other groups. Thus, it was normal for him to not have met Sabina before.
"Greetings, Commander in Chief. I'm Sabina Ji. Maybe you haven't heard about me before, but I believe that you must know my master, General Marcia," Sabina, stepping forward, introduced herself with a cold expression on her face.
"Wait. Sabina… Sabina from the Ji Clan? You mean you're General Marcia's apprentice?" As Boyd started hurling questions, the arrogance on his face had quickly faded. Recently, Rocky had really become famous in the entire empire. Boyd knew that he had married the only daughter of General Lance, and now, he just heard that General Marcia's apprentice was also working for Rocky.
The smug look on the faces of the commanders behind Boyd also disappeared instantly. They found it hard to breathe upon hearing about Sabina.
"And this one is the former chief of the Cao Clan, the top clan in Timber Deity Empire." Isis moved on from Sabina and introduced Lucilla, who was on the other side.
"The chief of the Cao Clan… the top clan of Timber Deity Empire?" Boyd's voice began to tremble as he repeated Isis' words. It was too much of a shock for him to take it all at once. Isis knew Boyd's personality, so she deliberately put so much pressure on her introductions so as to ensure that Boyd and the other commanders would know their place.
As Isis finished speaking, a few coughs were heard from the commanders as if they were trying to clear their throats. It was also very visible that these men couldn't help but swallow their saliva in nervousness. Never did they expect that apart from Rocky's level in cultivation and position as a prince, he really stood on top of every man with General Lance's daughter as his wife and Marcia's apprentice as his confidant. Even the former chief of the Cao Clan was at his disposal.
If they learned beforehand that each of those women around him did not just have a striking appearance, but also a prominent background, they wouldn't act so presumptuous before them. Now, it was as if they wanted the ground to swallow them.
"So, General Boyd, do you still think that Prince Crimson is just taking a tour while bringing his family with him?" Isis asked, fixing her piercing eyes on Boyd.
At that time, Boyd just lowered his head and was rendered speechless.
"Isis, that's enough." Rocky called from behind and interrupted her. Boyd should have already learned his lesson, so he did not want the situation to be more embarrassing for him than it already was.
Before walking aside, Isis took a quick cold glance at Boyd while pouting her lips.
"General Boyd, can you tell me the status of the on-going battle?" Rocky asked straightforwardly, jumping into their true purpose for coming.
"Three days ago, after we lost the last city, I led the rest of my soldiers into retreating here, the Munoz Pass. Fortunately, the terrain is steep, so we had the chance to block off the enemies' attack. We have stayed here since then. Their fighting abilities were inconceivable. With just only half of their men, they were able to take out about fifty thousand of mine. It was plainly unbelievable. Furthermore, their Commander in Chief was a different type of beast. With just one move, he was able to injure me badly!" Boyd said through gritted teeth as he recalled what they suffered for the last few days.
"What? One move?" Rocky's eyebrows furrowed immediately when he heard what Boyd said. Boyd might not have the greatest personality but his strength was not something to be underestimated. If he was saying that he was defeated with just a single move, then the strength of the enemy would be extremely troublesome.
Even the three women beside Rocky exchanged looks with each other. They instantly knew that a tough battle was waiting ahead of them. This enemies' Commander in Chief must be totally confident in his strength to even ask Rocky himself to fight him. While they pondered on this information, they couldn't help but grow worried.
"So, how many soldiers are still left in the Black Dragon Group?" Rocky suddenly asked.
"Putting the wounded aside, a little more than twenty thousand are left," Boyd quickly replied.
