Rocky asked immediately, "What's the reason for the second condition?"
"Our Holy Sea Empire attacked the Holy Dragon Empire because the Timber Deity Empire threatened us," Clark, the Commander in Chief of the Holy Sea Empire explained.
"I see. Alyssa used such a vicious method. I wonder what kind of threat it was! It must have been serious as it caused your empire to break our alliance and even attack us!" Rocky wondered. He wanted to know the truth so that he could understand Alyssa better, but even without the truth, he already saw her as the cruelest and most unscrupulous woman in the world.
"I am sorry but I can't explain more to you. I hope you will agree with the second condition, ' Clark replied as he shook his head. He seemed to have some secret that he was not allowed to let Rocky know.
Meanwhile, Rocky was studying him intently, as if he was searching for something, and then he nodded to himself after a short tense-filled silence. After all, he didn't want to lose his focus on what was more important, which was to take back Mont City. "Okay, I accept. I promise to do so, on my honor as the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army."
"I believe you, Rocky. I hope you will fulfill your promise!" Clark said happily, once the agreement passed through Rocky's lips.
And Rocky nodded solemnly, but inside, he was truly relieved that they had solved their problem.
Only a day later, Clark and the other troops of the Holy Sea Empire had retreated from Mont City, and they were headed back to the border of their empire. Finally, the Crimson Dragon Army had successfully taken back Mont City and saved the lives of many people.
Once he had dealt with the matters of Mont City, Rocky asked Louis to return to the main camp on the front line, together with Allen and the members of the Elite Regiment. Meanwhile, Isis and Sabina went back to the headquarters in Evian City with him.
They arrived at the headquarters quickly, where they went to meet with Lance. "Father," Rocky and Isis greeted him tiredly. They hadn't had the opportunity to rest yet, so they were running a bit ragged.
They were in Lance's study, and Rocky was reporting to Lance about his conversation with Clark and all the things that he had learned. Lance was listening to him with full focus, outraged and surprised by the information he managed to obtain.
"I can't believe that the Holy Sea Empire was threatened by the Timber Deity Empire," Lance murmured, almost to himself, as he shook his head. They originally thought that the people from the Holy Sea Empire planned to take advantage of the situation and loot, but now it seemed that it wasn't that simple.
"The Timber Deity Empire is using all sorts of methods just to get back at us, and the worst is that they are succeeding," Isis said angrily. She was sitting next to Rocky in front of her father, her dainty hands clenched tightly on the chair's armrest.
"You did very well, Rocky! I didn't expect that you could take Mont City back without any reinforcements. I thought it would be impossible, but you accomplished it anyway. I'll immediately report this to the emperor. I'm sure His Majesty will be glad to find out that Mont City has been taken back." Lance patted Rocky's shoulder casually, overjoyed and proud of his son-in-law. He successfully resolved a major crisis for the Crimson Dragon Army and the Holy Dragon Empire, and the result was even more astonishing compared to his success in Evian City.
"It was all due to Isis, Allen, and the others' help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it," Rocky said modestly. Of course, in his mind, that was also exactly what he felt. He owed his victory to every person who helped him along the way.
"Rocky, tell me the truth. Have you known the eldest prince for a long time?" Lance suddenly asked. His face abruptly turned serious compared to the joyful expression he had earlier.
