"But on the other hand, we will lose all the advantage if we give up. And besides, the forces of the Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic Dragon Army were not weak at all. They could definitely fight with the Roaring Flame Empire..." Lance still thought that it would be such a pity to withdraw the army.
"The troops of the Roaring Flame Empire are currently defending, while the Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic Dragon Army have been offending for several days in a row. At this point, our troops are very tired. If the war continues, then we will be at a disadvantage," Rocky said as he shook his head.
On the other hand, Lance thought that what Rocky said was reasonable, but he was very unwilling to be cheated by Alyssa again.
"Although I have already mentioned that Alyssa made peace for other purposes, I didn't expect that her purpose was to buy time for the army of the Roaring Flame Empire to arrive at the place. That's surprising. This was probably her trump card. I'm sure that Timber Deity Empire had no other choice because we have driven them into an impasse. Otherwise, the secret of their alliance wouldn't have been revealed so easily. This is the last plan she can make, so we can take it easy afterwards. Timber Deity Empire has no other choice. We just have to be patient and be steady in our fight. Only in that way can we maintain the advantage. However, they have the support of the Roaring Flame Empire now. Their military forces should be near to ours, so we can't act recklessly. We'll talk about it after we figure out more about the background of the Roaring Flame Empire's army..." Rocky explained as he made an orderly analysis.
"I see. Okay, I agree with you," Lance said as he thought that Rocky's words made a lot of sense.
"After the Crimson Dragon Army and the Magic Dragon Army withdraw from the defensive line, we will retreat from the camp. Now, all we need is to ensure that there are sufficient supplies for the army. It seems that this battle cannot be settled in such a short time," Rocky said as if he had already predicted what would happen.
Afterwards, the four of them discussed some following details. Lance said, "Rocky, I want to have a word with you in private."
Just by looking at his face, Rocky instantly knew that he must have something to ask him, so he nodded his head.
As courtesy, Allen and Isis went out of the tent.
"Rocky, tell me the truth. Where did your power come from?" Lance asked in a straightforward manner.
"I can't really answer you, and I hope you don't ask me anymore," Rocky replied in the same manner, bluntly.
"I don't mean to pry into your private matters. It's just that the power is so evil and strong that I don't think you can bear it at all. In addition to that, the damage to you is immeasurable. I'm just worried about you. After all, you are my son-in-law now, the husband of Isis. Of course, I'm just concerned about you, that's all," Lance said worriedly. Of course, he also vaguely assumed that Rocky's real identity might be top secret.
"You don't have to worry, Commander in Chief. I'll make it. Could you please not tell Isis about any of this? I just don't want her to worry," Rocky said as he did not want anyone in particular to worry about him.
"Take care of yourself. Should you need any help, don't hesitate to approach me. I am just a little curious on why Sabina would be there at that time. Moreover, she seems to know your power very well. Thanks to her, you can be safe and sound," Lance said with doubt, but at the same time respected Rocky's wishes and did not ask further. Afterwards, he turned around and left the camp.
As soon as Lance mentioned Sabina, Rocky recalled that he seemed to see her before he lost consciousness. It seemed that it was true that Sabina had saved his life, but how could she suppress the evil power in his body?
Soon, Rocky remembered that it was not the first time that she had saved his life. In fact, she did the same when they were in Hippo Land.
As he thought about it, he got frustrated. Frowning, he quickly walked out of the camp and found a stream not so far away.
