"All soldiers, retreat!" At this point, Rocky commanded the Crimson Dragon Army and they retreated quickly into the Yu City.
The soldiers of the Holy Sea Empire, who just arrived in the city, failed to attack the Crimson Dragon Army. However, the two commanders of the Holy Sea Empire didn't want to give up that easily. They immediately commanded their troops to attack the city.
After a day and a night, the troops of the Holy Sea Empire lost another three thousand soldiers without even breaking through the city gate. Because of the heavy losses, the Holy Sea Empire troops stopped attacking.
The next day, the Holy Sea Empire troops, worn out and defeated, suddenly left the Yu City.
At that point, when Rocky saw from the wall of the Yu City that the troops of the Holy Sea Empire had retreated, he immediately turned to Isis and the others. He said, "My guts are telling me that the Holy Sea Empire soldiers may be heading towards the Heaven Unicorn City. Isis, you and Commander Qin lead three thousand soldiers to guard this city. Sabina and I will lead the remaining five thousand soldiers to go back to watch over the Heaven Unicorn City."
"But are five thousand soldiers enough to protect the Heaven Unicorn City? I am worried that we may be outnumbered," Isis spoke worriedly. The Heaven Unicorn City was easy to attack but hard to defend. And they only had five thousand soldiers there, while the Holy Sea Empire had at least twelve thousand soldiers. Even if they defended till death, they might not be able to protect the city.
"We have to at least try our best. I believe in the capabilities of our soldiers. As long as we can protect the Heaven Unicorn City, the three cities will be safe. Besides, I think the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers or so will definitely not be sent out that easily if the Holy Sea Empire wants to defend the Mont City," Rocky stated firmly and assertively. He firmly believed that as long as they could defend the Heaven Unicorn City, they would have the upper hand during the battle.
"Okay, just please be careful in dealing with the Holy Sea Empire. I'll recruit more soldiers in the Yu City to assist you..." Isis said. Her face was really painted with worry.
Rocky and Sabina hurried to the Heaven Unicorn City after the discussion. They led five thousand soldiers to defend the city.
One day later, the two commanders of the Holy Sea Empire along with twelve thousand soldiers arrived at the Heaven Unicorn City. When they saw that there was no one guarding the city wall, they immediately launched an attack to invade the Heaven Unicorn City. However, as soon as they started to move, countless figures appeared on the originally empty city wall. The figures began to make a violent attack against the Holy Sea Empire troops.
The two commanders of the Holy Sea Empire were astounded as they didn't expect that a large group of soldiers would suddenly emerge from the Heaven Unicorn City.
At this moment, two figures appeared on the city wall. The two figures glanced at the Holy Sea Empire soldiers who seemed to be in panic.
These two figures were Rocky and Sabina.
"It's a shame that they are much slower than us!" Rocky muttered with a smile. He had already anticipated that the Holy Sea Empire troops would turn to attack the Heaven Unicorn City after they failed to conquer the Yu City. Therefore, he had asked Louis to figure out a shortcut for returning to the Heaven Unicorn City. With that information, they of course could move faster and arrive at the Heaven Unicorn City before the Holy Sea Empire soldiers, who weren't familiar with the terrain there.
The Holy Sea Empire troops failed to capture the city again because Rocky took the troops back to protect the city. Two days later, more than half of the Holy Sea Empire soldiers were lost. As for the soldiers led by Rocky, there were only about two thousand soldiers left.
On the third day of battle, the Holy Sea Empire soldiers launched another fierce attack.
Since there were only about two thousand soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army left, the defense became more difficult. Although Rocky and Sabina went into battle together, the soldiers led by them were heavily outnumbered by the Holy Sea Empire soldiers. Therefore, they were unable to resist the attack and the Holy Sea Empire soldiers eventually broke through the city gate.
Just as the Heaven Unicorn City was about to be captured, several thousand soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army suddenly appeared behind the Holy Sea Empire troops, attacking them by surprise.
