Chapter 364 Dark Force
Commander Zhou of Timber Deity Empire didn''t foresee this and grimaced when seeing the force was
blocked outside by the fire. He had to wave his hand and ordered to retreat to a kilometer away. Then
he got the topographic map of Rough Slope and found the northeast military army was retreating in the
direction of a valley with a dead road. An evil smile developed on his face. He dered, "The fire would
keep burning until tomorrow morning. At that time, I will go to capture you and let me watch how you
will run away!" So he ordered his battalions to stay where they were and hold their horses for tomorrow.
After they went into the valley, the northeast military army started to cure themselves and took a
breather. They were apprehensive that a vicious war was standing by for them tomorrow.
Rocky''s face grew solemn when he was standing at the edge of the valley and peering at the burning
forest not far away.
"Just now... Thank you..." A gentle voice was floundering by the side of Rocky.
"You are proposing to marry me so that I will take care of your life. I shall undoubtedly save you, and
you deserve it," Rocky said with an evil voice. Even Rocky didn''t turn around, but he was conscious
that this tender voice was Marin.
Then there was a hit like a ton of bricks silence. Rocky knew Marin must be wearing a ridiculous and
lively expression, although he didn''t turn his head to have a look at it.
"Can we cling to life tomorrow?" Marin asked with a perturbed expression. All the things went on as

Rocky nned; however, the northeast military army only had around three thousand forces. Marin felt
uncertain if they could survive tomorrow.
"Who has the slenderest clue? We have worked out everything we could, and next, we just have to
entrust luck," Rocky said in an easygoing manner as the surface of ake when the loud wind wasid
and turned away.
"Why are you soposed?" Marin looked at Rocky with an indecipherable look. Under this condition,
one shall be hysterical with uncertainty or even in desperate. But Rocky wasn''t perturbed at all and was
very amiable.
The fire outside the valley was burning for a whole night. The glowing embers leapt and twirled in a
fiery dance. The fire was getting smaller until the next morning.
Timber Deity Empire forces after reforming at one night were bracing to go. They nned to attack the
northeast military army behind the bare woods after the fire settled down.
God might be lending them a hand. A message spirit-manipted beastnded on the valley when the
fire settled down, and Timber Deity Empire army braced up to charge.
Marin took the message letter from the spirit-manipted beast and opened it. In a muddle for a
second, she became jubnt. Her tion was like a cloudless spring day. Her face lit up brighter than a
toothpastemercial and she had that soft expression on her face.
"Are reinforcements reaching in?" Rocky asked serenely.
"How do you perceive that?" Marin inquired from him since Rocky was right.
"The reinforcements shall be gathered from the nearest troops around Rough Slope. Deputy
Commander in Chief couldn''t twiddle her thumbs for a longer time and dispatched troops in advance."
Rocky was already conscious Isis would send troop in advance because she was getting steamed up
about them. Anyway, Isis sent the troops to save their skin at that juncture. It wouldn''t affect the
defensive lines of Crimson Dragon Army. Timber Deity Empire couldn''t have sufficient time to gather
their force within one day to invade their weak defensive line, even though their movement was swift.
But when Timber Deity Empire wrapped their mind around the situation, Isis''s reinforcements from
base camp would have already turned up.
"How do you even be apprehensive of this? Do you have any prophecy of what would happen?" Marin
stared at Rocky with big bizarre eyes. As Rocky described, Isis gathered forces from troops in the
frontier and dispatched the forces to extricate them in advance.
"No, I don''t have any prophecy, but I just know Isis in and out. Where are the reinforcements now?"
Rocky asked in a pulling one''s leg voice.
"They are going to reach in Rough Slope. Commander Cao and other two Frontline Commanders are
leading the forces. Due to the limitation of the time, there are only ten thousand forces. But I think it''s
an amplitude for us. Commander Cao required to identify our location..." Marin gave Rocky a ferocious
re and responded.
"Well, it''s beyond my scope and none of my business now," Rocky shrugged.
"Why do you say ''none of your business''?" Marin asked in dibobted look.
"My mission is to escort the army provision and help the northeast military army sustain for three days.
Now the reinforcements are going to arrive, and the only thing you need to do is to defend the valley
and wait for the rescue. So, my mission is aplished without a hitch," said Rocky, raising his
eyebrows. Then he added, "Could I borrow your Verdanim?"
"For what?" Marin looked sullen and asked.
"Of course, I have my purpose. Don''t work yourself up. I will escort Verdanim to the frontier by myself,"
Rocky replied and disappeared before Marin could utter anything else.
In a second, a huge dragon figure flew into and disappeared in the sky in front of everybody''s eyes.
"Rocky, you are a hijacker! Give it back to me..." An in high dudgeon voice was hollering in the valley.
At the same time, something was happening in Imperial City of Holy Dragon Empire.
In imposing General mansion, Marcia was sitting in the study and beaming at cracked Dragon Twined
Wood with mouth wide open.
"How is it imaginable that he breaks through the Heavenly Stage in such a limited time? I can''t believe
it! It only takes him less than one year to..." Marcia talked to herself and couldn''t conceal her startle.
"That''s like herding cats. I shall check and figure it out." Marcia felt more disconcerted.
"Master!" A tall and slim beauty entered into the hall. Although she, almost the same age with Marcia,
wasn''t as beautiful as Marcia, she owned a hot body and a breath-taking and arrogant disposition. Her
blue eyes, like the sea, were calm and emotionless. Long, wavy blonde hair, so smooth and silky,
almost as if it was tailored from gold fabric. With the muscle of a footballer and the blessed fat of a
baby. It seemed that she was appealing, but wasn''t so straightforward to be gotten along with. She
looked quite mellow, and her manner was substantial and rxed.
"Jade, here you are. I have one thing for you to do." Marcia said to the belle.
"Master, tell me. What''s that?" The belle arched her hands and said.
"I want you to safeguard one person. He is at Gehenna Border now, and you go and find him and keep
him from harm." Marcia told her.
"This person is a man?" said the belle and she was always hardly fond of man.
"Yes, you''re going to protect a man," Marcia responded.
"Master, you want me to protect a man? But why? Who is this guy?" She was a little turned up for the
books, because in her mind, her master always kept a reasonable distance from a man, not mention
that she requested her to protect a man. She couldn''t understand why her master was so abnormal.
"I will give you his picture. It doesn''t matter who he is. Your mission is to secure him. Bring this Dragon
Twined Wood. You may need it when necessary." Marcia gave the Dragon Twined Wood to the belle.
"Why does it crack like this?" Jade found a crack on Dragon Twined Wood after collecting it. It was a
rare spiritual treasure. It''s said it would be used to suppress the evil monster, but only Marcia knew how
to use it.
"You utter too much today. Go to prepare and set off straight away!" Marcia waved her hand, signaling
her to leave.
Seeing this, Jade had to bow and leave.
"Basil, releasing the seal on the power of Holy Dragon Bead is just the beginning of your real ordeal.
How to master Holy Dragon Bead power which has be evil depends on you. If evil power of Holy
Dragon Bead dominates you, at that time I will..." Marcia looked sullen, and a cold light shone from her
eyes.
