Chapter 399 The Show Begins
Rocky was cognizant so well about Isis and Marin. Although they consistently regarded him with
condescension and wore enraged looks in front of him, they literally had helped him a number of times
under the table. The time he turned down Lance''s offer, if not because of Isis, he would have already
been cast out to the frontline battlefield. While he was in the northeast military camp, he disappeared
now and again, which contravened the militaryw. However, Marin always turned a blind eye to that. If
anyone else had done such an action, Marin would have punished them conforming to the militaryw.
Besides, Sheridan was close to Isis and Marin and treated them well as if they were his own daughters.
If Sheridan knew that Rocky didn''t grant them any support, he would without doubt nag at Rocky about
that for a long time. Because of all those grounds, he would not sit by when Isis and Marin were in
danger, although he was not such a meddlesome character. Deep inside, Rocky actually was a man
who gratified the inclinations of people. Yet, he always showed a cynical attitude in front of the others.
Apart from those elements above, Rocky had another fundamental reason for lending them a hand. Isis
was in charge of an army, and her father was at a high position and had predominant power in the Holy
Dragon Empire, all of which would be in his best influences to his future. If the whole Crimson Dragon
Group owed him big time, he would get his mitts on the support of the Crimson Dragon Group. Thus,
he had to give his affirmation to Isis'' well-being. After all, she yed the ultimate important part of his
strategy. He set his eyes on being a substantial figure in this world. Rocky kept developing and
discovering from what happened to him since his spirit passed through the tunnel of time and space
and drifted into this younger body. Aftering across so much, he didn''t wish to be manipted by
anyone anymore. He wanted to be the maker and master of his destiny.
Every time he showed up and came to their aid at the most critical moment, both Lance and Isis felt so
grateful to him, which was exactly what Rocky had been nning. No matter how hardhearted a
person was, he or she would appreciate him for saving them out of danger one time after another. So
long as he came to their aid again, they would owe him one more time. After all, nothing in the world
would be more of incalcble value than life.
The reason why he gave the thumbs down to be Frontline Commander was also that he preferred them
to owe him. Once he epted that offer, what he had done now would turn into finishing his own duty.
In other words, he could earn nothing at all. He didn''t want to work for the Crimson Dragon Group
without reaping any reward. What''s more, he didn''t give a tinker''s curse the position as a Frontline

Commander at all.
The position as a Frontline Commander could not put Rocky''s mind at rest, after all. He would rather
idle about in the Crimson Dragon Group and extend assistance asionally. Then the Crimson Dragon
Group would owe him a lot. Or he would have to be a fundamental figure in the Crimson Dragon Group
instead of a mere Frontline Commander. If that were the case, he would have the Crimson Dragon
Group as his at his fingertip power. What he had an inclination for was to be a high ranking figure who
was able to maneuver the Crimson Dragon Group.
Of course, Rocky would never tell Isis his real thoughts. He had put down the enticement in the Rough
Slopest time. What he needed to do now was nothing but waiting for Isis and her father to take the
bait. So long as he secured theirplete freedom from suspicion, he would gain the support of the
entire Crimson Dragon Group, which was he nned for.
It would only be in his best interest when he returned the Pce City to get back his everything.
"Does that matter?" Rocky asked as peeking at Isis.
"Of course it matters. You are not apliant man who will follow an order ande here to save us
from danger. You must have offered some requirement, like what you didst time in the Rough Slope.
Am I right? What did my father promise you? What do you propose for?" Isis was as smart as a fox that
she already got the right point. After all, she had lessons gathered from previous experience. She could
tell Rocky must have his motive of offering help this time.
"Wow, you are excellent! The Commander in Chief did promise me some benefit. That''s why I''m here."
Rocky directly told Isis the fact of the matter. After all, she would be conscious that sooner orter.
"What can you gain from my father?" It seemed that his answer was under her assumption.
"Nothing special! An intermediate Dark Heaven Egg and a yellow spiritual crystal. Besides, I will get a
top Dark Heaven Egg if I can repel the Timber Deity Army and save the Wild Heaven Pass out of
danger or I can help you hold on till the reinforcementse. These are really too many, but I can''t
refuse the Commander in Chief after all." Rocky put a false front that he had no alternative but agree to
receive those gifts.
Isis shot a cold re at him and remained silent. She could tell that it must be Rocky who asked her
father for the exorbitant rewards at first. As she expected, Rocky would never offer any assistance
without benefit. And now Rocky''s answer confirmed her conjecture.
"Come on! Why are you gawking at me that way? I have given up my precious time to scramble here
from far away. What a colossal loss I would encounter if I gained nothing at all! Deputy Commander in
Chief, could you show a little sympathy? Don''t forget that I''m only an insignificant captain. I take high
peril to save you guys from danger. If any ident happened to me along the way, how could I afford
the grave consequences?" Rocky made an aggravating speech with a motive. He wanted Isis to feel
aversion towards him but ce dependence on him.
Anger was boiling in her chest as Isis was giving an ear to Rocky, fires of fury and hatred were
smoldering in the small narrowed eyes. But she had to agree with what he said. He was a mere captain
and what he did now was out of his duty. It was also risky for him toe to this dangerous battlefield.
Thus, it wasprehensible for her that Rocky asked for those rewards from her father. But the boiling
anger in her chest didn''t quiet down at all, because she hated Rocky''s character that only concerned
with his interests. She despised such a person the most.
However, her aversion to him didn''t reach the degree that she didn''t want to see him anymore. Instead,
she sometimes could not help but think about Rocky or wonder what he was doing, which was
inexplicable even for herself.
"Oh, I almost forget that. Now that you and Commander Marin will change your clothester, I suggest
that you''d better choose those revealing outfits. The sexier, the better. Then the Timber Deity Army
would definitely be convinced that our reinforcements have already arrived, and think that we call the
girls from a brothel to have a wild time because of that. When they see us ying around and enjoying
the party time, they would be persuaded that our army forces already are superior to them. It''s also
possible that they might be suspicious of that and even see through our trap. But whatever they think,
they will never attack us without careful consideration. Even when they fought us, they couldn''t pay full
attention as being with eyes like a hawk for our unknown reinforcements. So long as they be
suspicious, they will fail to be concentrated. That''s the key of our n. They will get cold feet at
anything we do and have nothing to do us. Under such a circumstance, they will not hold on for a long.
They will leave sooner orter." A snaky smile crept over the corner of Rocky''s lips, as if everything of
the Timber Deity Army was already under his control.
"Forget that! If you want, you can wear that kind of clothes. Marin and I will on no asion put on such
garments! That''s just a show! We just pretend to be that kind of girls! Remember that!" Isis glowered at
Rocky. She could not believe that Rocky would offer such a ridiculous suggestion. She and Marin
already discarded their pride to agree with putting on that y on top of the city wall. How could they
ept being dressed like prostitutes?
"Whatever! It''s just my piece of advice. Now I am the leader of the two thousand soldiers. You and
Commander Marin can have the preparation. The show will begin in no time!" Rocky shrugged with a
faint smile. He just made a joke with her about the "revealing outfits" part. Once Lance knew that his
daughter and niece put on such clothes in public because of Rocky, Rocky would only be dead meat.
How could he fulfill his great n then? After concluding his sentence, Rocky walked past Isis and took
in charge of the two thousand soldiers she brought back.
Isis shot a deadly re at Rocky''s back. Her brows creased and she clenched her teeth to suppress
her desire to beat Rocky right now. However, Rocky yed the most important role for them. Whether
they could save the Wild Heaven Pass out of danger all depended on Rocky now. Thus, Isis made up
her mind to give vent to her anger at Rocky after getting through the current dilemma.
"Rocky, once I found out any mistakes you made or any of your secrets, I would never show you any
mercy!" Isis spoke in hushed tones to herself before she came to Marin.
