"Open the gate," Rocky repeated firmly.
The captain was afraid. However, he still responded in a snobbish manner, "It's the order of the lord prefect to close the gate. If you are capable enough, ask the lord prefect to open the door for you..."
Rocky sneered at the rudeness of the man. With the shining of spiritual light, he quickly drew out Frozen Wind Dagger. The dagger instantly turned into Flaming Blade. Rocky wielded it in the air, and marched straight forward.
The captain was stunned and froze in place when he saw the extraordinary power emitted by Frozen Wind Dagger in Rocky's hand. His face was as white as paper, but he kept on warning Rocky as if he were so sure he would still win this if they fought, "If you get any closer, don't blame us for your injuries."
However, Rocky turned a deaf ear to him. He directly rushed to the city gate, towards the city guards blocking the way.
"Stop him!" seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the captain ordered his men instead.
Instantly, several city guards rushed towards Rocky, trying to stop him.
But in the next second, Evil Flame was burning all over Rocky's body, it made him look as if he were possessed by a devil. It was so frightening that the city guards didn't dare move forward, not wanting to get any closer to Rocky. Their legs turned jelly and they fell into their knees.
Then, with the public watching, Rocky moved his Frozen Wind Dagger into the air, following a cross shape. In an instant, flame roared out in the form of a cross and directly slammed into the city gate.
With a thundering noise, the gate exploded into splintering pieces.
Seeing that the city gate had been broken, people had no time to rejoice. They quickly rushed towards the city gate desperately.
The city guards were stunned by Rocky's power. But before they could react and fight back Rocky, the citizens were trampling them down and ignoring their commands.
Rocky put away the Frozen Wind Dagger, and walked straight back to Uriah's side and jumped onto it.
"Mr. Bai, if the city is taken, these people will become homeless. Can you do something about it?" Sue suddenly asked Rocky when she saw the people escaping from the city. She was frowning.
Rocky stared at the throng of people running desperately out of the city but didn't answer her.
"Mr. Bai, I don't really want to leave. Miss Isis was so kind to me, so I want to be with her..." Sue felt aggrieved, her eyes reddening with the conflicting feelings.
Hearing what Sue felt and her face reflecting the genuineness of it, Rocky's face changed. He hesitated but asked, "Do you really want to stay in Evian City?"
Sue nodded firmly.
"Let me take you to a safe place first," Rocky told her. Looking at Sue and considering her feelings, Rocky ordered Uriah to fly up and head north, he needed to take Sue out of the city first.
Meanwhile, Marin and the commanders had temporarily returned to the conference hall of the army base. Everyone looked tired, and their armors were almost dyed red by the flames of the war and blood. They were speechless, because they all knew that the city guards could not stand another day of fighting. The end was near. And Evian City would fall definitely into the hands of Timber Deity Empire after tomorrow.
"In today's battle, more than half of the city's garrisons are gone, and less than eight thousand troops are left, while Timber Deity Empire has at least twenty thousand troops left. If they attack with all their force tomorrow, the city would definitely fall," Commander Wang muttered and shook his head.
"It seems that we can't guard Evian City anymore. We'd better retreat from Evian City earlier, that way we can keep some troops and stay alive, while waiting for the reinforcements to come, then we could take the city back," Commander Li suggested.
"That's impossible. Evian City is the headquarters of Crimson Dragon Group. If people learn that our army withdraws, it will bring shame to Crimson Dragon Group..." Marin said flatly.
