Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 685

"It's good that you know that. But I will not be angry with you," said Isis. If this happened in the past, Isis would have ignored Rocky completely. She was not the soft-spoken type and would never submit to a man. Especially to someone who had treated her wrongly. With Rocky, she was a different woman. She was softhearted, vulnerable and understanding. She was a fighter in the battlefield. As the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army, she was admired by soldiers for being aggressive, determined, and for being a compassionate leader.

"Thank you for understanding me," Rocky said as he searched her eyes for forgiveness. Rocky smiled to her. His relationship with Isis was complicated, and this current issue had given him a headache. But her words eased his mind and erased his worries.

"But before my father returned to the headquarters, he left a message for you," Isis continued. Her face became serious when she thought of her father's words.

"What did he say?" asked Rocky.

"He asked you to be careful of His Royal Highness- Alston. He had a grim feeling that Alston may have planned something evil against you. He had no idea why His Royal Highness wanted to harm you, and there was nothing much he could do to protect you. So please, stay vigilant and be on guard against him," explained Isis, as she fixed her eyes on Rocky. She herself doubted His Royal Highness, and her  father's advice validated her fear.

'I'm glad Lance recognized his false colors. To deal with me, Alston could not even hide his disgusting, true nature, ' Rocky sneered in his heart.

"I understand." He nodded and did not show his emotion. He did not want her to worry any further, so he chose not to say a word.

"Well, let's get ready. It's time to go to the Mont City. We just received some news saying that the situation in the Mont City is getting worse. We must get going!" she said in a hurry.

"Us? Are you coming with me?" Rocky frowned.

"Of course! Did you think I will let you go there alone? If you will stop me from going with you, I will never talk to you for the rest of my life!" Isis suddenly returned to her commanding nature. She stood straight and glared at Rocky. The look in her eyes reminded him that he owed her, and she was not taking no for an answer.

Rocky did not know whether to force a smile or reprimand her. Mont City was a dangerous place, and he did not want her involved in the battle. However, the look on her face made him realize that she had decided to do so. If he refused her again, she may not forgive him this time. Rocky knew that would be difficult for him to handle.

He had no choice but to let Isis go with him.

There was also no time to argue. The Mont City was in a critical situation, and they had to get there as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Crimson Dragon Army would be in great trouble if the Mont City fell. Rocky must get the first-hand information and they badly needed him at the fore front of the battle. Before long, Rocky and Isis were both headed to the Mont City. It was the border city to the north of the Gehenna Border. They sat quietly at the back of Uriah, who was flying at full speed.

Mont City was located in an open plain. A vast field with no complex terrain to protect it. Its open location made it easy for the enemies to attack the city and difficult for its army to protect and defend it. Based on the information they received, about forty thousand soldiers from the Holy Sea Empire surrounded Mont City on three sides. The Holy Sea Empire had launched fierce attacks on the Mont City for three days. Less than ten thousand soldiers remained in the city, and people who lived there might lose their lives if the enemy broke through the city.

Several hours later, Rocky and Isis arrived at the Mont City. They were both horrified at the scene that unfolded before them. The fierce battle had destroyed most part of the city. Wild, angry flames consumed the buildings and houses, while black smoke filled the air and covered the streets. Burned bodies were sprawled on the streets, and countless more people struggled to run and escape the hell of fire. Some people tried to help the wounded and save the injured, but the entire city was a bottomless pit of raging fire. Some civilians were lucky enough to escape their houses and fled from the chaotic city. As Rocky and Isis looked down from the sky, they saw that three of the city gates had been surrounded. The only gate that was not under attack was the west gate. Countless figures raced towards the gate and moved towards different directions. Most of them were wearing the uniform of the Crimson Dragon Army. With the city crushed to the ground, several army soldiers had given up and abandoned the city. This angered Rocky to the core. They were supposed to protect the Mont City and its people.

The two looked at each other and realized that something was wrong. They immediately instructed Uriah to fly towards the west gate. As Uriah reached the wall, people looked at it for a moment then continued to rush out of the gate. Normally, people would linger and surround the powerful spirit-manipulated beast to admire it. But no one stopped today. The chaotic crowd continued to run out of the city.

Rocky wasted no time and jumped to the ground. Instantly, he caught a soldier trying to escape and asked him coldly, "What are you doing? Why are you running away? Why don't you protect the city?"
