Chapter 570 Close The Gate
"Open the gate," Rocky repeated firmly.
The captain was afraid. However, he still responded in a snobbish manner, "It''s the order of the lord
prefect to close the gate. If you are capable enough, ask the lord prefect to open the door for you..."
Rocky sneered at the rudeness of the man. With the shining of spiritual light, he quickly drew out
Frozen Wind Dagger. The dagger instantly turned into ming de. Rocky wielded it in the air, and
marched straight forward.
The captain was stunned and froze in ce when he saw the extraordinary power emitted by Frozen
Wind Dagger in Rocky''s hand. His face was as white as paper, but he kept on warning Rocky as if he
were so sure he would still win this if they fought, "If you get any closer, don''t me us for your
injuries."
However, Rocky turned a deaf ear to him. He directly rushed to the city gate, towards the city guards
blocking the way.
"Stop him!" seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the captain ordered his men instead.
Instantly, several city guards rushed towards Rocky, trying to stop him.
But in the next second, Evil me was burning all over Rocky''s body, it made him look as if he were
possessed by a devil. It was so frightening that the city guards didn''t dare move forward, not wanting to
get any closer to Rocky. Their legs turned jelly and they fell into their knees.

Then, with the public watching, Rocky moved his Frozen Wind Dagger into the air, following a cross
shape. In an instant, me roared out in the form of a cross and directly mmed into the city gate.
With a thundering noise, the gate exploded into splintering pieces.
Seeing that the city gate had been broken, people had no time to rejoice. They quickly rushed towards
the city gate desperately.
The city guards were stunned by Rocky''s power. But before they could react and fight back Rocky, the
citizens were trampling them down and ignoring theirmands.
Rocky put away the Frozen Wind Dagger, and walked straight back to Uriah''s side and jumped onto it.
"Mr. Bai, if the city is taken, these people will be homeless. Can you do something about it?" Sue
suddenly asked Rocky when she saw the people escaping from the city. She was frowning.
Rocky stared at the throng of people running desperately out of the city but didn''t answer her.
"Mr. Bai, I don''t really want to leave. Miss Isis was so kind to me, so I want to be with her..." Sue felt
aggrieved, her eyes reddening with the conflicting feelings.
Hearing what Sue felt and her face reflecting the genuineness of it, Rocky''s face changed. He
hesitated but asked, "Do you really want to stay in Evian City?"
Sue nodded firmly.
"Let me take you to a safe ce first," Rocky told her. Looking at Sue and considering her feelings,
Rocky ordered Uriah to fly up and head north, he needed to take Sue out of the city first.
Meanwhile, Marin and themanders had temporarily returned to the conference hall of the army
base. Everyone looked tired, and their armors were almost dyed red by the mes of the war and
blood. They were speechless, because they all knew that the city guards could not stand another day
of fighting. The end was near. And Evian City would fall definitely into the hands of Timber Deity Empire
after tomorrow.
"In today''s battle, more than half of the city''s garrisons are gone, and less than eight thousand troops
are left, while Timber Deity Empire has at least twenty thousand troops left. If they attack with all their
force tomorrow, the city would definitely fall," Commander Wang muttered and shook his head.
"It seems that we can''t guard Evian City anymore. We''d better retreat from Evian City earlier, that way
we can keep some troops and stay alive, while waiting for the reinforcements toe, then we could
take the city back," Commander Li suggested.
"That''s impossible. Evian City is the headquarters of Crimson Dragon Group. If people learn that our
army withdraws, it will bring shame to Crimson Dragon Group..." Marin said tly.
"Marin is right. The loss of Evian City will also cause great damage on the morale of Crimson Dragon
Army. Besides, if Timber Deity Empire takes the city and moves forward, it will be more difficult to stop
them. I don''t think reinforcements would be of great help then," Commander Ron agreed.
"So, no matter how, we must guard the city," Marin said firmly, eyes determined. She hadn''t lost the
fight in her.
"But how are we supposed to guard it? Troops or morale, we are both at a great disadvantage against
Timber Deity Empire. In addition, Timber Deity Empire also owns five Huge-horned Rhinoceroses,
which are too powerful for us to resist..." Commander Li inquired, hope slowly leaving his eyes.
"I agree with Commander Li. If we continue to fight, we will only get injured or even killed, it''s all in vain.
We''d better withdraw from Evian City for now and regroup. When the reinforcements arrive, we''ll try
and take back the city..." Commander Li had supporters too.
"I think it''s better to withdraw from the city too."
"If we retreat out of the city like this, Crimson Dragon Group will beughed at by the whole world,
where has the fierce group gone to? To hide from their enemies under their mothers'' skirts? Can you
stomach being theughing stock?"
For a moment, themanders were divided into two factions, those who wanted to keep guarding the
city and those who felt like it was a better choice to withdraw and regroup. Arguments were thrown
carelessly into each other, everyone was arguing fiercely trying to prove their point.
"Are you just cowards?" an old and stern voice yelled, overpowering all the raising voices of argument
in the room.
Turning around, ready to fight whoever called them cowards, themanders saw two figures walking
in side by side.
"Sheridan..."
"Sabina..."
Seeing the twoing in, themanders had their mouths shut tight.
"Even if we can''t keep Evian City, we can''t let Timber Deity Empire easily obtain it. Moreover, your
Commander in Chief won''t like you to give it up so easily..." Sheridan said solemnly, looking around at
themanders'' faces.
Many of them lowered their heads in shame. What Sheridan said was true.
"Master Xu is right. We can''t easily give up even if we have to fight until ourst breath," Sabina
supported. They had to fight as one and unite in guarding the city to be able to keep it.
"But with the current situation, it''s truly impossible for us to guard the city," Commander Wang
countered helplessly.
"If Rocky is here, he might find a way out. But he… I''m so disappointed with him." At the mention of
Rocky, Marin''s heart sank. Here they all were, waiting and hoping for Rocky to save the city.
"I think he is just a coward," nk mumbled scornfully.
"If he were a coward, Crimson Dragon Group would have lost as early as when the three passes were
in danger," Sabina refuted angrily.
Hearing this, all themanders took on a ghastly expression. They knew Sabina was right. Without
Rocky, Crimson Dragon Army would have been instantly defeated at the three passes.
"Since we still have time, let''s think about what we can do to face our enemy. Even if we lose, our loss
must be of value. From now on, I willmand the city garrison..." Sabina said boldly. She was the
Deputy Commander in Chief of Rime Army, one of the four legions in Holy Dragon Empire. At this
critical moment, no one was better suited to take on the role but her.
Hearing this, all themanders gave her an encouraging nod. After all, Sabina''s power was
undeniably strong. Hence, hope may exist if Sabinamanded the garrisons of Evian City.
"Ha-ha, Sabina, you are really my kind of person. I will make an exception this time to help you..."
Sheridanughed but it was evident that he admired her boldness.
Themanders were surprised, but they gained confidence seeing that even Sheridan, who had
been living in seclusion for a long time, was willing to help.
