Chapter 580 Pretty Cherished


    Rocky held Woods tightly, as he flew to a ten-meter-high tower not far from the base camp. From there,


    they could see the base camp that was overrun with mes and people.


    "What''s going on?" Woods stared in shock at the chaotic scene in front of them.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "The whole base camp is now surrounded by the guards of Evian City," Rocky exined calmly. Woods


    hungrily took in the noise of themotion, the smoke, and mes that almost reached where they


    stood.


    "What?" Woods immediately shook his head in denial and said, "That''s impossible! Haven''t the city


    guards already withdrawn from Evian City? I also gave the order to the whole city after I entered. I


    haven''t seen any traces of the city guards. Where did the reste from?"


    "If you had realized where they wereing from, all my ns would have been in vain." The corner of


    Rocky''s mouth twitched as if he was hiding a smirk.


    "Your n..." Woods froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said, "Have you been secretly


    "No. Evian City had almost fallen by the time I arrived. Fortunately, your men had retreated by nightfall.


    Otherwise, I couldn''t have saved the city," Rocky said with a shake of his head.


    "You were the one who attacked our army at that time!" Woods suddenly eximed. He stood up


    straighter, as he remembered the events from that time.


    Rocky tilted his head in assent but otherwise stayed quiet.


    "But how did you hide the guards of Evian City?" Woods asked once again. He couldn''t figure out how


    Rocky made the guards of Evian City disappear and re-appear under the watchful eyes of the people.


    They even ambushed the base camp!


    "The only solution is to dig a few underground tunnels under Evian City." Rocky finally offered with a


    small hidden smile. He was quite amused to see Woods stunned by his tactics.


    "Tunnels? How could the guards dig a tunnel that can amodate thousands of people in such a


    short time?" Woods marveled at the tactic Rocky had employed. No ordinary person would have


    thought of such a thing.


    "I have my ways! Now, we''re going to watch a good show. Your men won''te after us so quickly,"


    Rocky said confidently. He put away the Frozen Wind Dagger and immediately let go of Woods.


    Meanwhile, Woods immediately rxed when Rocky let him go. He was not stupid enough to try to


    escape, so instead, he settled down to watch. He knew that the city garrison of Evian City attacking the


    base camp without warning would make the Timber Deity Army be caught off guard.


    "Even if the guards can destroy the Timber Deity Army in the base camp, don''t forget that there are ten


    thousand soldiers of Timber Deity Empire in the south and north gates. The forces of this stronghold


    are as strong as the guards of Evian City. No matter how badly they are attacked, they will not go down


    as fast as you expect them to. They will definitely cause a great loss to the guards of Evian City,"


    Woods stated fearlessly. It did not matter that Rocky had him trapped. He kept his calm demeanor


    because he had full confidence in his men.


    "That''s true. Even if all the forces of the Timber Deity Empire in the base camp were wiped out, the


    guards of Evian City would definitely lose some forces, and at least half of them would be killed before


    the night is over. I estimate that only three or four thousand men will survive, and that is an optimistic


    estimate. The remaining army of Evian City was truly unable to fight against more than ten thousand


    soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire. The forces of the Timber Deity Empire may outnumber the imperial


    guards, but that does not mean they will automatically beat the imperial guards. From ancient times to


    the present, the weak had won many wars. Therefore, even if there is only one soldier left, I will try to


    protect Evian City." Rocky stared intently at Woods. So much sincerity shone on Rocky''s expression


    that Woods could not help butugh.


    "Ha-ha!" Woods pped his hands, as his boisterousughter echoed in the tower. "You are truly


    courageous and dedicated. I''m impressed by you!"


    "That is why I advise you to withdraw your army." Rocky''s jaw ticked in irritation. He was deadly


    serious, and he did not need this man''s admiration, only his surrender. Despite how much he wanted it


    though, he was sure that it was not going to be easy for Woods to withdraw.


    "I will not withdraw the army. It is of great importance that we take down Evian City. I will do my best to


    do it, even if I have to go against you." Woods met Rocky''s intense stare with a re of his own. He


    needed to get his point across that nothing short of victory would send his troops home.


    "How about I''ll kill you instead? If you die, I am sure that the army of the Timber Deity Empire will


    retreat without a fight." Rocky''s eyes turned cold.


    "Even if something bad happens to me, there will be othermanders to rece me. They will


    continue to lead the army of the Timber Deity Empire until we capture the city," Woods answered with


    no hesitation.


    "Really? Well, at the very least, the death of the prince should have an impact on the morale of the


    Timber Deity Empire. That would be enough." Rocky sneered threateningly at Woods.


    "If you want to, you are free to do so. However, if my death stimted the morale of the army of the


    Timber Deity Empire instead, and motivated them to fight harder against the guards of Evian City, it


    would do harm to you," Woods said fearlessly.


    "Do you think I won''t do it? Do you think I cannot kill you right now?" said Rocky. It never urred to


    Rocky that Woods was so unafraid of death.


    "If you really wanted to kill me, you could have killed me earlier in the hall, which would shake the


    military of the Timber Deity Empire easily. But instead, you spent so much effort to abduct me. We have


    spoken at length, and until now, I cannot sense any trace of murderous intent from you. I''m sure that


    you won''t kill me." It seemed that Woods could see right through Rocky''s ns.


    "I can''t hide anything from you, can I? I don''t intend to kill you, because your sister will surely not let me


    go if I kill you. I am not stupid enough to provoke a master of the Divine Stage for the sake of the


    Crimson Dragon Group," Rocky said bluntly. He could imagine what would happen if he killed Woods.


    He would be an enemy of the entire Timber Deity Empire. Moreover, Woods'' elder sister was a


    master of the Divine Stage, and she was not someone to be trifled with.


    "Lance is one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, but he didn''t know the value of


    a genius like you. You are wasted in the logistic camp. However, I didn''t expect you to help the Crimson


    Dragon Army again. I would have been careful if I knew you were my opponent," Woods sighed


    dejectedly. He had been too careless this time. He had mistakenly believed that Rocky would not help


    the Crimson Dragon Army anymore, but it turned out that Rocky still made a move.


    "As I said, I didn''t do this for the Crimson Dragon Army," replied Rocky calmly.


    "It does not matter why you made your move. The fact is that if you guard Evian City, it is equivalent to


    siding with the Crimson Dragon Army. Even if you did not do it for them, in the end, you still helped the


    Crimson Dragon Army," Woods confessed.


    "Well, this is thest time," Rocky said, shrugging.
