Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 435

With her cold gaze at Rocky's back, Sabina murmured to herself, "This guy is surely unique. But why would Master Marcia want me to protect him? What on earth is he hiding?" After finishing speaking, she rushed forward to catch up with Rocky.

Soon, they arrived at the garrison camp of the Timber Deity Empire's army. Without any stop, they headed towards the ferry where the army's cargo ships docked.

The garrison camp was heavily guarded. Every once in a while, the patrols could be seen here and there. Yet, Rocky and Sabina could easily avoid them due to their great stealth. Finally, they got close to the ferry. Finding a place to hide, they began to observe their enemies at a closer range.

At that moment, they spotted six ships carrying grain and other supplies near the bank of the ferry. Also, a squad of spirit manipulators and a group of soldiers were on guard, looking stern and alert.

"So, what do you want to do next?" Sabina turned back and asked Rocky, hoping to get some valuable insight into his plan on how to burn the ships.

"I'll use ropes to connect these ships," Rocky said pointing to a bundle of thick ropes behind his back. For convenience's sake, the rest of the ropes were stashed away in his Magic Spiritual Space.

"If I remember correctly, you said you wanted to burn the ships before. Why don't you set them on fire immediately?" Sabina questioned. His strange idea left her confused.

"Obviously, I'll need to burn all the ships completely. To do that, we'll need to cause a huge scene that will send them into a panic. The six connected ships on fire will surely turn heads!" Rocky exclaimed in a low voice with a sinister smile.

"But what about the guards?" Sabina asked as she pointed at the group of spirit manipulators and soldiers guarding the front of the ferry.

"Your turn to be the bait." Rocky informed Sabina with a smirk.

"So, you had this all planned out just to trick me." Sabina realized as she glared at him with her cold eyes. Finally, she understood. Rocky tricked her into being here not to protect him but to help him hold back the enemies and give him enough time to destroy the boats.

"Since when did I trick you? And isn't your main goal to ensure that I stay protected?" Rocky retorted without any remorse.

His words left Sabina blushing, irritated, and shocked. "When this is over, you'll be sorry." Sabina stared at him, her eyes ablaze with anger. Within an instant, her body turned into illuminated ice before rushing out and disappearing into thin air.

Once Sabina appeared again, the guards saw her and became alerted immediately.

The squad of spirit manipulators along with a few soldiers rushed to the direction where Sabina disappeared.

Rocky smirked quietly, knowing that Sabina would still cooperate despite her anger. Quickly, he turned into a shadow that moved swiftly to the other side of the ferry and dived into the water below under the cover of night. With a gentle splash, he disappeared into the depths of the river before the soldiers could notice him.

After diving into the water, he quickly swam to the bottom of the ship at the far right—to which he began to nail several iron hooks on the rope before proceeding to do the same to the bottom of the adjacent ship.

At the end of the process, the bottoms of all six ships were tied together via crisscross ropes like beads on a necklace.

Once he settled everything, Rocky floated to the water's surface. Instead of sneaking around like a shadow earlier, he used all of his spiritual light to propel himself from the bottom into the air in the blink of an eye.

An abrupt, deafening bang resounded through the night air along with the furious splashing of water.

The remaining soldiers guarding the ferry were immediately alarmed, looking up with mouths agape. Instantly, a floating shadow appeared before them like a god that descended from heaven.
