Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 579

"Of course, it is true that now I'm at the base camp of the Crimson Dragon Group and we were successful in completely occupying the base camp of the Crimson Dragon Group. So, it would be indeed very difficult for you to win this time," Woods replied noncommittally. Apparently, he was in full of confidence, but what he was unaware was that he had already walked into Rocky's trap.

"Don't you feel confused about my presence here?" Rocky asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Of course it's strange and I think there are only two reasons for you to come here. One is that you may have happened to pass by here just by chance. The other is that Lance might have asked you to help out the Crimson Dragon Army. However, it doesn't matter what the reason is. What's more important is that we meet again, so I am getting the chance to persuade you again..." Woods wasn't sure about the reason for Rocky's presence here. Even though he was here to rescue the Crimson Dragon Army, it was too late. On the contrary, Rocky's presence there saved Woods the trouble of finding him out. Woods originally had planned to talk to him only after the conquest of the Evian City, and then persuade him at all cost to join the Timber Deity Empire.

"To be honest, I am not here to help out the Crimson Dragon Group this time," Rocky responded while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I'm so glad to hear that. Even you wouldn't be able to turn defeat into victory. Moreover, the soldiers of Evian City have already retreated." Woods' words were filled with confidence.

"However, I have promised a person that I will protect the Evian City. So, I can't let the city be seized by the Timber Deity Empire..." Rocky made a sudden statement, changing the topic.

"So, you are going to protect the Evian City, that too all alone?" Though Woods was quite surprised by Rocky's words, he thought that Rocky was just reckless to say that.

"What if I trade myself for the Evian City?" Rocky made another astounding statement.

"You want to trade yourself for the Evian City?" Those words were another shocker for Woods. It never occurred to him that Rocky would have such an idea.

"So, Your Royal Highness, what is it that you are going to choose? Are you going to choose me or the Evian City?" Rocky already knew that Woods was inclined towards recruiting him to the Timber Deity Empire. So, he was deliberate in making use of Woods' thoughts to divert his attention.

"This..." Woods hesitated immediately. Although he was eager to let Rocky work for him, he was hesitant in giving up the Evian City. If he were to accept the offer, it would mean all of the previous plans of the Timber Deity Empire would end up in vain. It was obvious that Rocky had left Woods in a fix as the choice he ought to make was really a tricky one.

"You are really making it tough for me to make a choice. But to tell the truth, I do not want to give up either you or the Evian City. However, when making a decision, I have to put the overall interests above everything. This Evian City is our chip for negotiation with the Holy Dragon Empire. So, naturally I am not going to give it to others easily..." Woods spoke euphemistically.

"I see." Rocky gave a meaningful smile. It was evident that the Timber Deity Empire's attack on the Evian City was not just to defeat the Crimson Dragon Group. There was definitely another important goal.

"I don't want to make things difficult for you. I respect your choice," Woods spoke.

"My choice? I had already made my choice since the very beginning. Therefore, I would like to tell you that you are not going to win the second round of battle," Rocky spoke meaningfully.

"The second round of battle? What do you mean?" Hearing Rocky's words, Woods immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Well, Your Royal Highness, it would be better if you could see for yourself how things would turn out." Rocky narrowed his eyes. In the blink of an eye, with the spiritual light radiating around him, he got himself closer to Woods.

Seeing this, Woods was scared and he stepped back immediately.

At the same time, the four masters at the Heavenly Stage led by Liam, who were guarding at the gate, got shocked upon seeing Rocky's strange behavior. They rushed forward and tried to stop him.
