Chapter 281 Dering War


    As soon as Marin finished her speech, Rocky thought, ''I am definitely in big trouble now!'' Marin had


    learned that he had been at the northern sky military camp. But he steeled his resolve and forced a


    calm as he said, "How did you know this, Marin?"


    "Well as they say, the day has eyes, the night has ears. I''m not saying what you did is bad; on the


    contrary, it''s to your own merit. Why don''t you want others to know about it?" Marin asked as she gave


    Rocky a look. Before leaving the northern sky military camp, she dispatched her man to ask about how


    the northern sky military camp defeated the troops of the Timber Deity Empire. They found out that a


    talented man had been a substantial aid to them. She was surprised to hear that the man was none


    other than Rocky himself.


    The information was startling to Marin. But she had to admit that she was curious as to why Rocky was


    even at the northern sky military camp at that time.


    The Commander in Chief had summoned Marin and intended to have her investigate his background


    when Rocky had showed off an excellent performance during the Army g Contest. The Commander


    in Chief had ns to promote him during that time. Before leaving, the Commander in Chief instructed


    her to pay close attention to Rocky and his movements. He wanted his every move in the military camp


    to be reported back to him.


    But regardless of the reason that caused Rocky to help the northern sky military camp, it was a


    significant boost to his image. But since Rocky didn''t want to take the credit, and Commander in the


    northern sky military camp couldn''t report this to Commander in Chief.


    So Marin wasn''t quite sure about whether she should let the Commander in Chief know all about this.


    One thing that she was certain of was that the Commander in Chief would definitely want to promote


    Rocky once he knew everything. And this time, Rocky wouldn''t be able to refuse the promotion.


    Marin felt that she knew Rocky well enough to guess that he would certainly try to refuse to be


    promoted again. But it was unthinkable to refuse the Commander in Chief of Crimson Dragon Group


    once, let alone twice. If Rocky refused for a second time, the Commander in Chief would likely be


    displeased and feel offended. That wouldn''t bode well for Rocky''s days in the camp.


    This was precisely why Marin wanted to talk Rocky first and gauged how he felt about the situation


    before she made her report to the Commander in Chief.


    "Well it looks like you know everything already. So why are you asking me all over again?" Rocky


    asked bluntly, knowing that he was busted.


    "Now that I know what really happened and your part in it, I''m obligated to make a report to the


    Commander in Chief. But if he hears about this, he''ll promote you, and this time, you won''t be able to


    refuse. However, considering your performance during the Army g Contest, I''ve been worried


    about..." Marin hesitated for a moment, seemed not sure what to say next.


    "Marin, just tell me straight out!" Rocky snapped, with a suspicion about what she was so worried


    about.


    "It''s just that...I know you don''t want to go to the base camp. And since you don''t want to be there, I can


    try and cover this up for you. Because if you get promoted, you''ll be transferred there and I know you


    don''t want that. But if you disobey the Commander in Chief again...I think you know what will happen.


    If...you would just promise me one thing, I think I''d be able to put this away without having to tell the


    Commander in Chief." Marin looked contemtive as she said all of this.


    "What is it, then? Are you looking to get back at me for something? Would like to see me dance in


    apron?" Rocky asked sarcastically, his tone light.


    "If that''s what you want; the deal''s up to you!" Marin grinned smugly, rather certain that Rocky would


    make a deal with her.


    "And if my answer was ''no''?" Rocky squinted his eyes suspiciously, having that distinct feeling that


    Marin was up to something. But he was well aware that if he didn''t cut a deal with her, things could get


    very troublesome for himter on.


    "Well, if you say no, I''ll just go ahead and make my report, and then your promotion order will be issued


    within three days. Then I will take you to the base camp. I mean, I''m guessing that you''re hiding


    something or doing things in secret. You don''t seem like you''re in a position to leave the northeast


    military camp. Once you leave here, it''ll be pretty difficult for you toe back again," Marin replied


    breezily. She was fairly sure that Rocky would acquiesce to the deal this time. A little spark of revenge


    brought her delight.


    Rocky frowned at this, knowing that he was trapped. There was simply no choice but to make a deal


    with Marin. If he left northeast military camp, his ns would be for naught.


    "Okay, alright! Deal. What did you want from me?" Rocky finally conceded.


    "Honestly? I''ve no ideas for now. But don''t worry; I''ll let you know once Ie up with something."


    Marin could scarcely conceal her delight.


    Rocky got to his feet and red at her directly. He took one stride, standing in front of Marin before he


    smirked. "You''d bettere up with something, or I''ll do it for you. Maybe I''ll have you dance in an


    apron again."


    "You...!" Marin flushed to her scalp and flustered at Rocky''s teasing.


    Rocky grinned, thinking that Marin was cuter when she was like this. Heughed and strolled out of the


    camp. Marin stomped her feet furiously, still flushed.


    The Crimson Dragon Group sent word to the Pce City that northern sky military camp was attacked


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    by the Timber Deity Empire. The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire grew livid at the outrage. He


    thought that the Timber Deity Empire was making unspeakable transgressions against them, which


    was a disgrace and an insult. He thus issued a royal order immediately: the Holy Dragon Empire has


    dered war against the Timber Deity Empire and will now make a show of intimidation against them.


    Lance, the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group, had deployed all his troops. He


    gathered six military camps on Gehenna Border along with fifty thousand soldiers from the base camp.


    He brought them all to the border of the Timber Deity Empire.


    The Holy Dragon Empire dered war, just as the Timber Deity Empire had hoped. Alyssa came to


    border with forty thousand soldiers, defended her ce there and faced the Crimson Dragon Group


    army head on.


    Alyssa intended to break through the northern sky military camp, so that the Crimson Dragon Group


    would be vulnerable from the North. Afterward, she could gather her army to crack down their


    defensive line at the North and obtain significant strategic advantage.


    Since n A failed, she had to use n B. That was to defend themselves and wait for the right


    moment tounch a deadly attack.


    A few dayster, the two armies met in battle, where it''s a matter of to kill or to be killed on battlefields,


    with soldiers and spirit maniptors inbat.
