"Father, we'd better gather our forces and proceed to the front line to support the main camp. Now that the Hippo Land has been recaptured, we should be able to get other strategic strongholds back on the ground in short time…" Isis frowned and remarked.
"I'm afraid it's too late. The Nine Grottoes is only two days away from the main camp at the front. In addition to the Nine Grottoes, the nearest one to us is only the Hippo Land..." Lance was unaware of the fact that the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire would attack and occupy the Nine Grottoes, which was an important strategic place. In this scenario, the Timber Deity Empire had directly threatened the safety of the main camp in the front line.
"Commander in Chief, it just takes less than two days from the Hippo Land to the Nine Grottoes. If Rocky can lead his troops to attack the Nice Grottoes first, he may be able to hold back the main force of the Timber Deity Empire. That would give us time to get and gather our forces back..." At this instance, an Elite Commander gave wily advice.
"However Rocky had just been engaged in a battle with the Timber Deity Empire in the Hippo Land and I am afraid he is only left with a few thousand troops after that battle. If we ask him to attack the Nine Grottoes and confront the main forces of the Timber Deity Empire, I am afraid that he would face an extremely dangerous and deadly situation." Lance knew that it might be a solution, but at the same time, he was concerned. Since Rocky's army had just fought a battle and lost many soldiers, asking him to attack the Nine Grottoes without enough supporting forces would be a suicidal mission.
"Commander in Chief, this is an emergency. The most important thing at the moment is to buy us more time and to assure the safety of the main camp."
"Yes, or else the main camp will be attacked making us lose our edge and convert us into a passive force in this fight. Meanwhile, if the army of the Timber Deity Empire capture three more passes, it would pose a severe threat to us."
"Isn't Rocky strong and smart? He will surely be able to ward off the main troops of the Timber Deity Empire."
Commanders were of the opinion that since Rocky was an omnipotent person, he might be entrusted with the responsibility of rescuing the main camp. Most of these Commanders were jealous of Rocky but at the same time shielded away from taking on the main responsibilities, instead focused on doing simple errands. The main thought running through their mind was to let Rocky do as he wished. They were waiting for Rocky to commit an error and make a fool of himself.
"Rocky... Rocky... Aren't we, Crimson Dragon Group, capable of fighting without Rocky?" Isis realized what was going through the minds of these Commanders. The more she listened to them the angrier she got making her shout angrily.
Isis's angry reaction made all the Commanders look at each other with pale faces.
"Isis..." Lance said calmly. He knew that this was not the time for a conflict.
