Chapter 1368 Other Intentions


    In the Magic Phoenix Empire,


    earlier that morning, the queen requested Rocky and Erica to meet her in the hall. Felicia was also


    there.


    "Although I''ve promised to hand over the Magic Phoenix Empire, I can''t leave my people behind." She


    cut straight to the point.


    "Are you saying that you''re going back on your word, Your Majesty?" Rocky asked her coldly.


    "I am aware that, as the queen, my words carry tremendous weight. And I will use my own way to fulfill


    my promise. Today, I''ll issue an imperial edict to withdraw all the Magic Phoenix Empire troops and


    relinquish military leadership to Erica. After that, I''ll ept Alston''s offer on the condition that my


    people won''t be involved in the war," the queen announced.


    Rocky thought it was a good n. Although it appeared the empire surrendered to Alston, its troops


    would actually be handed over to the United Army. By the time Alston found out, it would be toote.


    "I''m afraid that once Alston finds it out, you''ll be in great danger," Rocky addressed the queen with


    concern.


    This made Erica look at the queen nervously. Although she still denied that she was her daughter,


    blood was thicker than water. She wouldn''t allow her mother''s life to be put in danger.


    "If Alston vents all his anger out on me so I can protect my people from this war, then it''s a sacrifice I''m


    willing to make. Don''t worry, Prince Crimson. Those who achieve great sess don''t care about small


    details. What I hope is that the Magic Phoenix Empire will regain its strength one day through Erica''s


    leadership," the queen expressed in anticipation.


    "Prince Crimson, Her Majesty is putting herself at risk by cing the future of the Magic Phoenix


    Empire on you. I hope you won''t let her down. As for Erica, I''ll leave her in your care. I trust you''ll treat


    her very well," Felicia added.


    "Master, do you also want to…" Once Erica heard those words, she understood that Felicia was willing


    to surrender to Alston as well.


    "You''re an adult now. You should know how to care for yourself without me," Feliciamented


    lovingly.


    Tears welled up in Erica''s eyes. She knew that this may be thest time they saw each other.


    "My child. I''m so sorry. I know you''ve been lonely for so many years. I''ve always felt so guilty. But more


    than anything in the world, I''ve always wanted to hear you call me… call me mother…" The queen


    experienced sorrow and regret as she admitted her feelings to her daughter. They would be separated


    soon and didn''t know when they''d see each other again.


    Erica''s mouth opened slightly but the words failed toe out. She wasn''t mentally prepared. Tears


    streamed down her face like two tiny rivers. She looked grief-stricken.


    The queen quickly stood up and took Erica into her arms for a hug. Actually, she was already satisfied


    when she could tell her daughter that she was her mother.


    "Mo… mother…" Erica managed to stammer.


    The queen trembled as she wept with her daughter in a tight embrace.


    To help buy the Magic Phoenix Empire''s army some time, the queen nned to head to the Holy


    Dragon Empire with Felicia and surrender to Alston. However, this dangerous journey would be like


    stepping right into a tiger''s den. After a while, Alston would know she lied and he''d be furious.


    Despite this, the queen and Felicia moved forward with no hesitation, leaving Rocky and Erica behind.


    After the two gathered all the soldiers of the Magic Phoenix Empire, they led the army to retreat and

    join the United Army.


    Back at the base camp located at the junction of the Holy Dragon Empire and the Timber Deity Empire,


    Alyssa devised a n. She managed to restrict the three United Army groupspletely. The three


    groups found it difficult to take even a single step forward, which ruined their original n. This


    reassured Alyssa that Rocky wouldn''t be sitting still awaiting death. He''d adjust his strategy. She, thus,


    had to prepare in advance.


    The only opponent Alyssa cared about was Rocky. He was her arch-nemesis during the previous battle


    between the Crimson Dragon Group and the Timber Deity Empire. Now that she knew more about his


    abilities, she wouldn''t let her guard down around him this time.


    "Commander in Chief, I heard that Prince Crimson and that exceptional spirit maniptor from the


    Magic Phoenix Empire named Erica got married. Is that true?" amander at the camp asked her


    casually.


    "Who knows?" Alyssa answered back just as casually.


    "It was also said that you and Prince Crimson had quite a good rtionship, Commander in Chief…"


    anothermander added meaningfully.


    The othermanders exchanged nces. It was no longer a secret that Alyssa was Rocky''s woman.


    Many people knew she turned against him because of the death of Woods—her younger brother and


    the former emperor of the Timber Deity Empire. It was the reason why she decided to join forces with


    Alston and lead the army for him. She even managed to sessfully defeat the United Army. It was


    precisely because of this that they all became curious about Alyssa''s true thoughts.


    "Don''t you all have anything better to do?" Alyssa''s pretty face turned serious and her stare was as


    cold as ice. This made themanders lower their heads in regret for prying too much.


    "But while we''re on this topic, the news of Prince Crimson marrying Erica has indeed spread


    everywhere. With the United Army''s current situation, he is supposed to be more focused on


    showed concern, but not for Rocky. She was worried about the dangerous situation the United Army


    was in. If they pushed through with their original strategy, then she certainly had a chance of beating


    them. It would be impossible for Rocky to not understand at this point. Therefore, he ought to change


    the United Army''s fighting strategy as soon as possible. It wasn''t reasonable for him to suddenly marry


    Erica at the Magic Phoenix Empire, regardless of the United Army''s crisis.


    Alyssa, unlike the others, knew very well that Rocky was secretly manipting the United Army.


    Marcia, Bryant, and even thete Lance remained loyal to him. This time, Alyssa was on high alert to


    Rocky''s unusual behavior.


    "What are your other intentions?" she murmured. As cunning as she was, Alyssa was suspicious.


    However, she couldn''t think of any direct connection between the United Army and Rocky''s wedding.


    Although she couldn''t figure out what he was up to at the moment, she immediately ordered the close


    monitoring of the United Army just to be safe. As long as she was able to control their every move,


    she''d be able to predict what Rocky would do next.
