Chapter 644 Deliberate Provocation


    Even after several moments, the representatives of the Timber Deity Empire hadn''t appeared, so


    Lance sat down on the chair, which had already been prepared in advance.


    Then a figure emerged from the apanying guards and stood next to Lance.


    "I think the peace negotiation should be conducted and finished as soon as possible. I''m worried that


    the Timber Deity Empire has a different n..." The figure was Rocky, who was disguised as a guard.


    In his attempt not to get recognized, Rocky''s face was covered with arge helmet. It was difficult to


    recognize him if one didn''t look at him carefully.


    "I know." Lance nodded solemnly as he agreed to what Rocky suggested.


    Not long after, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the deste vige. Each of them was


    dressed in clothes with markings of the Timber Deity Empire. In front of the group was a beautiful


    woman dressed in avender dress. She walked with such grace into the vige with an imposing aura.


    This figure who was leading the people was none other than Alyssa.


    The sight of Alyssa made Rocky raise his eyebrows and thought, ''I didn''t expect that Alyssa would be


    such a beautifuldy. She seems to be as pretty and aloof as Sabina, as elegant and gentle as Isis,


    and as arrogant as Marcia. She really is an attractive, confident woman...''


    "Nice to meet you again, Princess Alyssa," Lance greeted as he stood up and stared at Alyssa as she


    arrived.


    "Commander in Chief, please forgive me if I offended you so muchst time!" Alyssa uttered in a


    sarcastic and arrogant voice.


    When Lance heard Alyssa''s disrespect in her words, his face darkened. He was one of the Three Great


    Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, but he was chased and blocked by Alyssa. Surely, he had


    suffered a lotst time. If he were not as powerful as he was, he would have be a prisoner of


    Alyssa.


    "Ha-ha..." Lance forced augh and continued, "I have already forgotten it! I can''t even remember


    whether you had offended me or not..." However, Lance seemed not to bear this in his mind and just


    forcedly smiled. He didn''t intend to me Alyssa. Besides, now, the most important thing was the


    peace negotiation.


    "Why is Commander in Chief Rocky not here?" Woods, who followed behind Alyssa, asked, after he


    took a nce at the people brought by Lance.


    "This time, Rocky has put all of his energy and strength to break through the defensive line of the


    Timber Deity Empire. He has done a lot of hard work, so I specially allowed him to have a rest and


    keep my daughter''spany. After his wedding, he went to the front line. My daughter mes me for


    that all the time." Lance''s words obviously implied that the Crimson Dragon Army broke through the


    Timber Deity Empire''s defensive line with hardly any effort. Moreover, Lance spoke in a rxed voice,


    which made Alyssa annoyed and embarrassed.


    Alyssa, of course, knew what Lance meant. She then gave a snort of contempt, but did not say


    anything. After all, she was indeed defeated by Rocky this time, and she had no way to fight back. The


    Misty in was attacked and conquered unexpectedly, and this caused the destruction of the Timber


    Deity Empire''s defensive line.


    "You''re lucky to find such an outstanding son-inw. Otherwise, we might not be the one to put forward


    the peace negotiation today..." Woods responded as he smiled wryly. His words obviously implied that


    if Rocky was not there, the Crimson Dragon Army would have suffered a crushing defeat.


    "We should stop talking about such trivial matters. Let''s get straight to the point. Since the Timber Deity


    Empire proposes the peace negotiation this time, we have at least the right to gauge the sincerity of the


    Timber Deity Empire first," Lance said with a solemn face as he waved his hand dismissively.


    "Of course." Woods nodded, and then he told Lance the peace negotiation conditions from the Timber


    Deity Empire. This included the truce agreement, thepensation and so on. It seemed that the


    Timber Deity Empire was sincere this time.


    Rocky, who pretended to be a guard, listened to the conditions carefully. He closely observed Alyssa''s


    expression. Before long, he found that a strange look appeared in her eyes.


    ''Does she have any n?'' Rocky thought in confusion. He had a bad feeling in his gut, and suspected


    that the Timber Deity Empire might really have other intentions during the negotiation.


    At this time, Alyssa had also noticed that Rocky was staring at her. She narrowed her eyes and stood


    up abruptly. She stepped forward and pointed at Rocky. "Brat, you have been staring at me from the


    beginning. Are you trying to plot something against me?"


    When Lance heard that Alyssa shouted at Rocky with rage, he was shocked, and immediately rushed


    in front of Rocky.


    "Princess Alyssa, I think there must be a misunderstanding. He is just vignt. He doesn''t mean to


    offend you," Lance exined hurriedly. He was afraid that Alyssa would see through Rocky''s disguise


    and attack him.


    "Oh, really? Well, if that''s the case, then I must have really misunderstood him. Okay, I forgive him. But,


    let him dig out his eyes first," Alyssa uttered arrogantly with a sneer.


    "Alyssa!" Woods called out to her as if to remind her where she was. Of course, he also knew that


    Alyssa was deliberately stalling for time, because now wasn''t the time to fall out with the Holy Dragon


    Empire.


    "Princess Alyssa, don''t be so unreasonable. It is you who came forward for peace this time," Lance


    spoke angrily.


    "Well, do you still want to have a fight with me? Since we haven''t had the result from the previous


    battle, let''s battle it out this time," Alyssa said proudly with a smile forming on her lips.


    "So be it." Lance showed no impression of weakness when he heard Alyssa''s words. Alyssa was so


    arrogant especially considering she was still so young, which made Lance displeased.


    "Commander in Chief, I''m afraid..." Allen frowned as he witnessed what was about to go down.


    Rocky was watching Alyssa''s movements. It was obvious that Alyssa was deliberately provoking


    Lance.


    "Alyssa, there are many chances for you topete with General Lance in the future. Now, we are


    negotiating peace. If you twoe forward and take action to battle, it will destroy the harmonious


    atmosphere. How about both sides respectively send five spirit maniptors to fight against each other


    by using their spirit-manipted beasts instead? What do you think?" Woods was worried that Alyssa''s


    provocation would bring them trouble. Their purpose was to stall for time, so it was not appropriate for


    them to act recklessly. They had to be careful.


    Alyssa turned to nce at Woods who nodded at her. Although she was deliberately provoking the


    Crimson Dragon Army, she was also afraid that if she and Lance had a fight, it might bother the


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Crimson Dragon Army and ruin the peace negotiation. Hence, she had no choice but to say, "Well, I''d


    like to see how powerful the spirit-manipted beasts of the Crimson Dragon Army are..."


    "What do you think, General Lance?" Woods asked, looking at Lance.


    A look of hesitation appeared on Lance''s face, because he sensed that something was wrong.


    "Are you afraid? Do you think that the spirit-manipted beasts cultivated in the Timber Deity Empire


    are better than those of the Holy Dragon Empire? Are you afraid yours are weaker and will lose?"


    Alyssa said to Lance with a smirk on her lips, deliberately goading him in a sarcastic tone.
