Chapter 712 Being Ambushed


    When it was dark, Rocky told all the soldiers to rest where they were. It was already too dark and it


    would be dangerous for them to continue to march. They would move forward again after dawn.


    When he saw that Rocky was leaning against a tree all alone, Allen walked over immediately and


    asked, "Commander in Chief, I heard that you would immediately return to the Imperial City after


    winning against the Timber Deity Empire, is this true?"


    "I have noment on that matter. Let''s wait first until we win," Rocky said and smiled. In fact, he


    didn''t n to go to the Imperial City so soon. The reason he had promised Lance that he would return


    to the Imperial City was that he just wanted to satisfy him.


    "After you return to the Imperial City, I wonder when I will have the chance to work with you again. It''s


    really a pleasure to work with you, Commander in Chief! I will never forget this." The two hadn''t spent a


    long time together, but Allen felt like they had been through life and death together for decades already.


    Even when he was working with Lance, Allen didn''t have this kind of feeling. This feeling was new and


    pretty strange.


    "Do not worry, I am sure that there will definitely be an opportunity for us to work together again in the


    future. But after winning against the Timber Deity Empire, won''t you also leave the Crimson Dragon


    Group too?" Rocky knew that someone like Allen would not participate in any of the small battles. After


    the fight with the Timber Deity Empire, Allen would not stay either.


    "The n is that I might go back to the Ji n first. If only Sabina coulde with me. My brother is


    always so concerned about her. He regretted that he let Sabina run away from home back then," Allen


    said as he let out a deep sigh. He really wanted Sabina toe home with him. He knew that his


    brother also missed Sabina very much.


    "If you don''t mind me asking, why did she run away from home?" Rocky asked curiously when he


    heard what Allen said.


    "It''s all because of my brother. And actually, it also has something to do with Alston," Allen said warily.


    "Oh, can you tell me about that?" Rocky questioned closely.


    "Frankly speaking, I shouldn''t have told you about this. After all, this is a family matter. However, I think


    you may help us persuade her toe home, Commander in Chief." After some hesitation, Allen told


    Rocky the whole story why Sabina ran away from home.


    "Oh, I see. No wonder she has such a bad temper. I understand more clearly now. It seems that she


    has been abused and mentally oppressed since she was a child." After hearing the whole story, Rocky


    began to realize that the life Sabina led was totally different from an ordinary person''s. Although she

    was born of fairly well-to-do parents, her life was like being in prison.


    "Exactly! But a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. My brother truly regrets it now. He only hopes that


    Sabina will return to the Ji n. He also intends to let her take over the position of the leader of Ji n


    if shees back," Allen said with a nod.


    "I don''t think it will be that easy for her to go back. But for your sake, I will persuade her," Rocky said


    sincerely. But of course, he was not doing this for nothing. If Sabina could return to the Ji n and


    be their leader, then he would get their support, especially with Sabina''s and his current


    rtionship. No matter what would happen to him in the future, he believed that she would help him. In


    this way, he would have the Ji n to back him up. This was not a bad thing.


    "Thank you, Commander in Chief. If you don''t mind, we can be sworn brothers in private," Allen


    suggested. He was very grateful to Rocky.


    "Sworn brothers? You must be kidding. You are a senior to me. If we call each other brothers, then I will


    be Sabina''s uncle. This does not seem good!" Rocky didn''t expect that Allen would want to be


    sworn brothers with him. After all, Allen was a big shot in the Holy Dragon Empire. He felt extremely


    ttered that Allen was willing to call him brother.


    "You don''t have to care so much about small matters like this, Commander in Chief. In fact,


    Commander in Chief Lance and I are friends in private and we call each other brothers too. I think you


    are a decent man, and I like you very much. Although it is true that I''m much older than you, I really


    admire your courage and boldness." Allen really appreciated Rocky. If not, he wouldn''t have thought of


    being sworn brothers with him in the first ce.


    "Well, since you don''t mind, I will recognize you as my brother from now on," Rocky responded briskly.


    It was a great benefit to have a brother at the Supernal Stage.


    "It is already amazing that you have such a powerful strength at your age. I am sure that in no time,


    you will also be a great spirit maniptor. And perhaps sooner orter you will wield absolute


    power and dominate a part of the country," Allen said to Rocky enthusiastically.


    "I''m far behind you. When the timees that I have the same strength as yours, then I might have a


    chance," Rocky said as he smiled calmly.


    At this point, Sabina came from the other side. She rarely showed up these days. Of course, she was


    hiding in the dark to secretly protect Rocky.


    "Hello, Sabina. I will leave you two alone." When he saw that Sabina was walking towards them, Allen


    knew that she was looking for Rocky. So, he quickly left to give the two some privacy.


    "What''s up?" Rocky asked.


    "Your seal hasn''t been consolidated for a few days. I''m afraid that it will be weakened," Sabina said.


    "I can''t take this into consideration for the meantime. I feel good, so it should be okay." Rocky knew that


    at this critical moment, he couldn''t just stay with Sabina and consolidate the seal.


    "Then please tell me if you feel that something is wrong," Sabina said worriedly.


    "Alright. By the way, I have noticed that you are more talkative now than before. You have never acted


    like this before," Rocky said. He looked at Sabina with a sly smile on his face.


    Upon hearing that, Sabina gave him a cold and dark look and turned to leave.


    "As a matter of fact, you are so much better now than before. I really prefer the present you," Rocky


    shouted at the back of Sabina.


    "Oh, who cares!" Sabina turned and retorted. Then she quickened her pace and left.


    "It''s amusing how women always say yes and mean no." The corners of Rocky''s mouth lifted into a


    yful smirk.


    After dawn, Rocky continued to lead the army forward. After several hours of marching, they were


    about to leave the area. As long as they left the area, they would be able topletely shake off the


    pursuers of the Timber Deity Empire.


    However, everything seemed to go so smoothly that Rocky had a feeling of uneasiness.


    Just as they were about to leave a pathway, three streams of people suddenly appeared from the three


    forks at the end of the pathway. They looked rather fierce and intimidating.


    "Alert! There''s an ambush!" Rocky was startled and nned to retreat. But they found that there were


    also a group of soldiersing at them from their rear.


    "Let''s see where you are going to flee this time, Rocky Bai! You cannot escape."


    At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared above Rocky''s head. Then, the figure dropped from the sky


    like a fairy andnded in front of him.
