Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 558

"You must be the very famous Princess Alyssa, right?" Lance said calmly, staring at Alyssa on the dragon-shaped spirit-manipulated beast. He knew not only her, but her reputation as well.

"Why, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't think I'm famous. I am nobody compared to you! You have already fought in the battlefield for dozens of years and made a lot of achievements!" Alyssa responded modestly with a faint smile, but her eyes were full of arrogance. She hid her sarcasm well, as if she had been doing it a lot. Obviously, she didn't take Lance seriously.

Lance, of course, was able to look beyond this. He certainly knew what she meant. She just wanted to satirize how he was not able to defeat a young and inexperienced person. Clearly, Alyssa thought he didn't have the qualifications to get that tittle. However, Lance kept his calm and responded, "I wonder why you are here waiting for me?"

"You are going back to the Evian City, right? I just wanted to see you off." Alyssa stared at Lance, her eyes glinting of hidden sarcasm.

"You are too polite. You don't have to send me off. I just hope you can let me pass here," Lance answered with a sneer. He knew that what Alyssa meant by her so-called farewell was to see him lead his way to his death.

"I'm not the one who owns and controls this path. You can leave if you want." Alyssa waved her hand, and the dragon-shaped spirit-manipulated beast moved a little.

"I'm afraid there is no way ahead!" Lance knew just what Alyssa was up to. Obviously, she wanted to stall them so that they couldn't rush back to the Evian City in time. If he couldn't guard the Evian City, and there was a lack of soldiers, the city wouldn't be able to resist attacks for a long time. Very soon, they would be defeated by the 30, 000 soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire.

"Actually, I don't want to fight you either. Please stay in the Deity Unicorn Valley for another two days. After our Timber Deity Empire's forces conquer the Evian City, I will let you go back to the city to clean up the mess..." Alyssa giggled. She wore an attractive smile, but the vicious expression in her eyes and her cold voice made people tremble with fear.

"If you want to keep me here, you should have enough strength to beat and stop me from leaving!" Lance couldn't stand it anymore. He was amped up, looking very dignified and imposing. At this moment, the aura of the Divine Stage was exuding from his body, which shocked people around them. Even the troops of the Deity Timber Empire and those masters at the Heavenly Stage were caught off guard.

"It seems that I have to spend some time 'playing' with you!" Alyssa was not intimidated by him. Instead, her beautiful eyes narrowed, emitting the aura of the Divine Stage which was not inferior to Lance's.

Lance had already known that Alyssa had the strength of the Divine Stage, but he didn't expect that she was on the same level as him. Even at a young age, Alyssa had such amazing strength, which was incredible!

'Princess Alyssa is really as powerful as General Marcia. She even has such amazing strength at such a young age. No wonder she is so arrogant. Also, it seems that she is well prepared. She will definitely go all out to keep me here and prevent me from getting back to the Evian City, ' Lance thought to himself, looking at Alyssa who was confident. There were only a few skillful Elite Commanders and Frontline Commanders around him. Obviously, they were not a match for the army of 1, 000 soldiers and those masters at the Heavenly Stage that Alyssa had brought here.

Seeing that the troops of the Deity Timber Empire and those masters at the Heavenly Stage were ready to move, Lance decided not to act recklessly. He narrowed his sharp eyes and mustered his strength in preparation to battle.

"You go ahead to support the Evian City first. I'll attract them to another place." Lance ordered the several Elite Commanders and Frontline Commanders.

"We can't just leave you here. Please take back your order! Let us stay and battle them. Commander in Chief, it is you who should go back to the Evian City first," an Elite Commander responded immediately.

"Even if you join hands, you can't defeat Princess Alyssa. Staying here won't help. I'm the only one who can subdue them. Moreover, the plan of the Timber Deity Empire is to not let me return to the Evian City," Lance uttered firmly, shaking his head.
