Meanwhile, trouble found them as soon as Rocky and Sabina made peace with each other. The Deputy Commander in Chief of the Magic Dragon Army, Buff, was displeased with Rocky. Ordering the army to retreat, Rocky was a wanted man in Buff's eyes as he asked several people to look for him.
Right inside the Commander in Chief's tent, Buff, who looked like a fierce debt collector, along with several masters of the Heavenly Stage gathered and discussed some pressing matters.
"So, what brings you here, Buff?" Rocky asked, as he looked straight into Buff's eyes as though he already knew the reason why he was there. But as far as he knew, the Magic Dragon Army had not completely withdrawn their troops from the defensive line of the Timber Deity Empire as per his order. As a result, there could only be one reason why Buff was there—he obviously wanted to argue with him.
"No more of this nonsense. Why did you suddenly order the soldiers to withdraw from the defensive line of the Timber Deity Empire? What is your intention? The Timber Deity Empire's line of defense is being weakened as we speak. If that would keep up, then we could surely defeat them very soon. Only a fool would make such a decision to withdraw the army at this time," Buff mocked.
"Watch your tone there, Buff," Allen warned in a hushed tone. With Rocky as the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army, it was clear that Buff was being disrespectful to him and to the whole army when he talked to him in such a rude manner.
On the other hand, this behavior made Isis and the other commanders very angry. However, in order to avoid any more conflict, they were forced to watch on the side patiently.
"As you already know, the Roaring Flame Empire has sent fifty thousand of their soldiers to support the Timber Deity Empire, while also attacking the Magic Dragon Army. And if we continue to rashly attack the defensive line of the Timber Deity Empire, then we will also have to pay a painful price once we break through their defensive line. As of the moment, we don't know much about the Roaring Flame Empire's army, so I ordered our army to retreat as a precautionary measure," replied Rocky in a calm manner.
"You are nothing but a coward. If you dare not take any risk in this battle, then what the hell is the point of battling in the first place?" Buff took advantage of the situation as he became vulgar with his words.
"If you are not satisfied with the order that I gave my men, then you can raise an objection to the Commander in Chief. Besides, I'm not the one commanding the Magic Dragon Army. If you are willing to attack the left-wing defensive line, then for all I care, go ahead. I will not stop you," said Rocky as he shrugged his shoulders.
"You!" Upon hearing what Rocky said, Buff's eyes widened.
"So, is there anything else that you wanted to say?" Rocky squinted at Buff coldly. If it weren't for the fact that the thirty thousand soldiers of the Magic Dragon Army were especially important to the Crimson Dragon Army, then he wouldn't have been so polite to the Deputy Commander in Chief Buff at all.
"Well, you ignorant brat, now that you asked, let's make it clear. From this day forward, the Crimson Dragon Army will fight on its own, in the same way that the Magic Dragon Army will fight on its own. If the Magic Dragon Army could break through the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line first, then it has nothing to do with you and the Crimson Dragon Army. And you can't take the credit for that," Buff said as he was fuming in anger.
"Now that you are so confident about your leadership skills, I will do what I can to cooperate with you. If you need anything, just ask my Crimson Dragon Group for help or advice," Rocky replied nonchalantly, but had a shrewd look flashing through his eyes. Apparently, he had already come up with a plan.
"Following your orders, I want the Crimson Dragon Army to send ten thousand soldiers to the Magic Dragon Army, which would attack the right-wing defensive line of the Timber Deity Empire." Buff made an outrageous demand.
"Buff, we think that you are asking for too much," Allen reminded him as he could not stand the nerve of the guy. In the situation, Buff did not only refuse to follow Rocky's orders, but also made an unreasonable demand.
