Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 577

"Why did you come back?" Marin asked with a slight quiver in her voice.

"Why do you need to know?" Rocky responded coldly.

"I know I wasn't my best self yesterday, but you know it's partly your fault too." Marin wanted to say more but she stopped herself for a while. "Forget it," she remarked sadly. "I understand if you're still angry."

"Just stop it," Rocky said with a sigh. "If you say anything more, I'll throw you into the tunnel." Rocky concluded with an eye roll.

"If you stop being angry with me then I'll crawl into the tunnel," Marin bargained. Her voice was more cheerful than before.

"I'm not mad. Why would I be mad?" Rocky remarked, his voice sounding impatient.

"Are you sure?" Marin knew that she was being unreasonable the day before and that she had treated Rocky wrongly.

"Just go down now. I will have to block these holes." Rocky ignored her questions.

Marin took a quick look at Rocky and observed that he was starting to look less cold. Feeling relieved, she grabbed the rope and went into the hole.

All the Evian City guards had entered the premises. As soon as Rocky noticed this, he summoned three Dark Heaven Insects and commanded them to fill the three holes. After that was accomplished, he disappeared with the three Insects.

On the other side, the Timber Deity Empire forces were being gathered by Woods at the south gate. After half an hour, they were all finally gathered where they had to be.

"What about the casualties?" Woods asked.

He had a deep frown on his face and evident worry in his voice.

"We lost nearly four thousand soldiers. Perhaps it's time to accept that the Evian City guards are stronger than we thought." Woods' face darkened, and he then ordered, "Investigate the current position of the Evian City guards."

The group scattered in different directions. Spirit manipulators ran off with their spirit-manipulated beasts.

After an hour, everyone returned. They admitted to seeing no sign of Evian City guards inside the city.

"Your Royal Highness," one spirit manipulator suddenly called out, "there was a trace of Evian City guards at the north gate. It seemed like they were withdrawing their army." There was a beat of silence.

"Withdrawing their army?" Woods frowned and wondered that the Evian City guards just made them lose four thousand soldiers, and then they withdrew the troops in a sudden. 'It was really strange!' he thought.

"Soldiers, attention!" Woods commanded. "Remain vigilant and be careful." Woods felt like they were missing something so they just had to be prepared for anything.

After an entire morning of searching, the Timber Deity Empire forces remained clueless on the whereabouts of the Evian City guards.
