Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 704

"Commander in Chief, the Holy Sea Empire seems to be aware that they fell into a trap, so they didn't dispatch reinforcements. It looks like they have learned from their mistakes. They should have roughly ten thousand soldiers left in Mont City, while our soldiers are only ten thousand. To say the least, even though we have the same strength of troops as that of the Holy Sea Empire, it will be difficult to take Mont City back," Allen reported to Rocky.

"I see... It's time to have words with the Holy Sea Empire," Rocky replied as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Rocky, are you planning to negotiate with them?" Isis couldn't help but ask.

Likewise, the others turned their gaze to Rocky in astonishment. After all, none of them believed that the Holy Sea Empire would be willing to negotiate, so they didn't even think of it as an option.

"I have to try. If we end this battle through negotiations, it will be a win-win situation." Truthfully, Rocky also felt uncertain about his idea. Like them, he doubted its feasibility, but he was more concerned about the people who could lose their lives if the battle continued. Besides, the Holy Sea Empire had also sustained great losses, so it was the best time to do it.

Four hours later, Rocky arrived at the broken south gate of Mont City with Isis, Allen, and Sabina in tow.

The broken gate was so heavily guarded by the soldiers of the Holy Sea Empire that even a fly wouldn't be able to get through. And as they walked and saw all the heavy security, Rocky felt better about his decision.

The guards tensed and stood at the ready when Rocky and his companions approached from in front.

"I'm the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army. We came here to negotiate with your Commander in Chief!" Rocky called out, as soon as they were within hearing distance. He kept his expression confident, and he infused his voice with as much calm as possible.

Murmurs echoed from the soldiers but no one replied to Rocky.

"It looks like they're not willing to negotiate with us," Isis murmured in disappointment. She had been hopeful when they approached, but nobody dared to acknowledge them now. How could she even think that this idea was plausible?

"Don't worry, just wait." Rocky remained calm beside her as if he was still waiting for something.

After a long while, a voice called out from the gate, "Commander in Chief, if you are willing to negotiate, please come in alone."

At this, Rocky's face grew solemn.

"No, Rocky! It's too dangerous!" Isis immediately protested as she reached out a hand to block his way.

"What if it's a trap?" Allen nodded in agreement. In the past, they had been trapped by the Timber Deity Empire, and as everyone knew, all was fair in war.

"It's only fair that we show our sincerity first. Don't worry about me. I have an escape plan in place," Rocky said with a confident smirk. He patted Isis on the back as he passed, and then he headed to the south gate, his cocksure steps fading behind enemy lines.

The soldiers who saw Rocky enter, all stepped back and parted like the sea. One by one, they dispersed and fell back, and a path was made for him. They all gazed at him, some with respect, and some with admiration, as he walked to their camp with grace and confidence.

Inside the camp, he found a group of people waiting for him. They were led by an imposing man with a greying beard, dressed in golden armor. He had an aura at the Supernal Stage, and each solemn and graceful movement screamed of a noble lineage. He must be Clark then, the Commander in Chief of the Holy Sea Empire.
