While the two of them were intensely indulged in their own thoughts, a spirit manipulator suddenly barged into the tent. "We received an important report from Mont City, saying that the Holy Sea Empire has rallied its forces again."
Everyone ultimately fell silent at the unexpected report, and their heads slightly tilted to one side. It seemed that the Holy Sea Empire was determined to take over the Mont City.
Apart from Rocky, everyone else's attention was fixed on Alston, who was supposed to deal with the Holy Sea Empire after he went to the Gehenna Border. But now, it seemed that the enemy had no plans of negotiating and even plotted to go against them, the Holy Dragon Empire.
"Damn it! The Holy Sea Empire has gone too far!" Alston exclaimed, stomping his right foot hard while rubbing his temple with his right hand.
"Your Royal Highness, I think we should try to recruit more reinforcements. If the Mont City can last for a few days until the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire breaks, the Crimson Dragon Army will be able to assist the city," Lance proposed, mustering his courage with a heavy breath and intently looking at Alston.
"It will take at least two or three days even if we transfer reinforcements now, and the Mont City can't last for that long! Once the Holy Sea Empire army puts its stake on it, the Mont City will be destroyed!" Alston answered with finality, now with both his hands on his waist.
"Maybe it's better to have Commander in Chief Rocky go to the Mont City and command the city guards. With his ability, he may be able to lead them to last for a few more days," Elite Commander Lin suggested with a hopeful smile as if a bulb had lit up on his head.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly turned to look at Rocky, waiting for his response.
"Yeah! That's a good idea!" The other Elite Commanders agreed, nodding frantically in utter expectation.
Meanwhile, Lance and Isis kept their mouths shut, denying their opinions to be expressed. If Rocky went to the Mont City, then who was going to command the Crimson Dragon Army to break through the defense line of Timber Deity Empire? Without him, it would be more challenging to achieve that.
"I'm afraid this won't be good. We still need Commander in Chief Rocky to lead the Crimson Dragon Army in penetrating the left wing defense line of the Timber Deity Empire. He has just frustrated the Roaring Flame Empire army, and it's a perfect time for him to take advantage of that victory. If we send him to the Mont City at this moment, we're just giving the Roaring Flame Empire time to recuperate and rebuild their strength. Our triumph would be for nothing!" After hesitating for a while, Isis finally garnered some tenacity to speak up.
"But if we lose the Mont City, countless citizens will die in the war. I'm afraid no one can take the blame then. Am I right, Commander in Chief Lance?" Alston said seriously, glancing at Lance, whose face suddenly turned grave. After all, what Alston said was true––they couldn't turn their backs on innocent citizens.
However, at the same time, if they were to transfer Rocky to Mont City, the Crimson Dragon Army would probably lose their best chance to break through the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire. Thinking about this dilemma, Lance was caught in utter silence.
"If you have no objection, Commander in Chief, I will transfer Commander in Chief Rocky to the Mont City and command the city guards," said Alston, who obviously could not wait for Lance's reply.
"I refuse!" exclaimed Rocky in a voice full of conviction. He then turned to Alston with cautious eyes. When he saw a flash of a sneer on Alston's face, he immediately realized that this must be a trap set by the cunning prince. But he would not give Alston the chance to set him up.
