Chapter 1952 Crossing The Border
"Your Royal Highness, please don''t say that. It''s all my fault. I''m the one that failed to help you," Gilbert
insisted reassuringly as he shook his head.
"That''s enough, you two. You act as if somebody died," Rocky teased the two, which didn''t sit well with
Gilbert.
"Odin, how can you even joke at a time like this?" Gilbert burst out and red at Rocky.
"Well, I believe it might not be a bad thing that La''s royal identity has been abolished!" Rocky
exined as a matter of fact.
"What do you mean?" His words puzzled Gilbert and La, and the two sent him confused looks at the
same time.
"Surely some members of the royal family must have objected to the king''s questionable decision of
appointing Zain as his sessor, right? And since the king has abolished La''s royal identity,
everyone has found out what is on the king''s mind, and that will inevitably start some talks within the
royal family. Once the royal family loses the support of the people, it will be in big trouble." Rocky
calmly shared his analysis of the situation.
"But without her royal identity, how can she make aeback?" Gilbert asked dubiously, shaking his
head with a sigh. He thought that La couldn''t get the support of the royal family''s members if she
didn''t have any royal identity.
"The royal identity is just a nominalbel. If the majority of the people ce their support on her, the
royal family will be helpless to stop her," Rocky replied assuredly.
"Are you saying she should rebel like Enoch?" Gilbert asked. He was stunned by Rocky''s suggestion
because it was too daring. If they did that, they would literally have no way back.
"Yes, but not right now. The war between the royal family and Enoch won''t end so soon. And besides,
there''s a saying that if two tigers fight, one of them might die, but the other one will surely be maimed.
We can just sit around, recuperating and umting energy, while the two sides fight it out. We will
bide our time and rebel against the royal family when the time is ripe," Rocky told them with a steely
gaze.
"I understand, Odin. Leader Gilbert, if you are still willing to support me even when I have lost my royal
identity, I won''t let you down!" La understood what Ricky meant, so she immediately turned to
Gilbert to confirm his support.
"Since I already chose to side with you, I will never go back on my word. You don''t have to worry about
me, Your Royal Highness," Gilbert reassured her of his loyalty.
"Listen, I have a n. Leader Gilbert, you should approach the king in a few days, and tell him that you
are willing to help Prince Zain fight against Enoch. Ask him to allow you to lead a group of elite spirit
warriors," Rocky continued.
"You want me to lead a group of elite spirit warriors for him?" Gilbert asked, looking utterly perplexed by
Rocky''s instructions.
"That''s right. I''m sure the king is nning to let Zain lead the army in the battle against Enoch. So we
must do everything we can to meddle and ensure that Zain will lose that battle," Rocky exined as a
sly smirk yed on his lips.
"But if we do that, Enoch might win."
"Don''t worry, Leader Gilbert. Enoch will never have the chance to take advantage of us. And he can
help us get rid of Zainter." A tenacious smile shed quickly on Rocky''s lips.
"How do you n to do that?" From his words, Gilbert could tell that he already had a n at hand.
"Let me keep it a secret for now. I promise to tell you when the timees," Rocky insisted, keeping
his cards close to his chest.
Gilbert could tell that whatever n he had, he seemed confident about it, so he decided to let him be
instead of asking more questions. After all, they were in a precarious situation right now, and they
needed Rocky if they want to surpass this obstacle.
Once they agreed, Rocky left and went back to the Ghost Pce.
''This is lucky. I think Esteban''s research on the living dead maye in handy this time, '' Rocky
thought, nodding to himself.
Esteban had previously given Rocky his report about the research he made regarding the living dead,
which he painstakingly worked on his whole life. However, it was still in the experimental stage, and no
sessful case had been recorded yet.
Rocky had read his research report earlier. It showed how deep Esteban''s research on the living dead
had gotten. However, it had teaued because of the limited information avable.
But for Rocky, this lull in productivity wasn''t a big deal, for he believed the problem could be resolved
through his gene technology. However, there was still one big problem. He didn''t have enough
samples.
Undoubtedly, it would be difficult to find samples because he couldn''t use ordinary samples. What he
needed were spirit warriors with spiritual power.
That was the reason Rocky asked Gilbert to send troops to the battlefield. After all, where else was the
perfect ce to get the samples he needed besides the battlefield?
Rocky stayed in the Ghost Pce and then left the very next day. He headed straight for the
independent military camp on the border of the Shura Race.
He fully expected the war between the royal family and Enoch to cause turmoil in the nine fiefs, and
that would give the independent army an excellent opening to take advantage of. Thus, he had to n
in advance, so he could profit much from it.
Rocky soon arrived at the independent military camp, but he didn''t see Eunice or the other women. So
he went to the camp of themander-in-chief, where he found the four women discussing something
around the sand table.
"What are you talking about behind my back, girls?" Rocky asked them with a teasing smile.
The four women looked up in surprise, and smiles broke out on their lips when they saw it was Rocky.
After all, they hadn''t seen him for over two months.
"We heard that the Shura Race''s royal family is going to war against Enoch, so we were discussing if
we can take advantage of this opportunity. We might be able to destroy the defenses of their border,
which would create more trouble for them," Eunice revealed with a cunning smile.
"That sounds great! You seem ready to finish your apprenticeship!" It surprised Rocky but pleased him
at the same time, knowing that the four women had be so independent now.
"Were you thinking of the same thing?" Michelle asked.
"Ha-ha, yeah! Why else would I be here? I have a task for you," Rockyughed and answered.
"Oh? What do you want us to do?" The four girls immediately looked at Rocky with much curiosity.
"Before that, I want to hear your thoughts about the current situation of the Shura Race," Rocky
insisted, eliciting the girls'' opinions first and foremost.
"All right. Let me go first," Michelle volunteered.
With a nod, Rocky gave his permission for Michelle to start telling her opinion.
"I think the battle between the royal family and Enoch would likely happen in the Wind in. With the
Wind in at the center, the royal family will probably dispatch troops from the defensive position,
which is at the east of the Shura Race. They would leave the defensive position empty in favor of

making a pincer attack. That is where we wille in. We will break through the opening they leave
behind," Michelle exined, asionally using the sand table to illustrate her point.
"Yes, you are right." Rocky agreed with her.
"But the royal family might find the Wind in''s terrain unfavorable. They might transfer the battlefield
to this position, as it is more favorable for them." Ca pointed at the sand table as she raised an
objection.
"But this is a terrible position for Enoch''s army. I doubt he will be stupid enough to fight against the
royal family there, right?" Michelle asked with a frown, folding her arms across her chest defensively.
"I think Ca has a point. The royal family won''t choose the Wind in," Eunice chimed in.
"Commander in Chief Basil, what do you think?" Michelle turned to Rocky expectantly.
"Actually, both of your analysis is right. Either of these two positions may be a battlefield. But you
guys forget one thing." A small smirk shed across Rocky''s lips.
"What is it?" the four women asked with perplexed expressions.
"No matter which position bes a battlefield, each side will always have a route for their
reinforcements. What I want you to do is to stand guard on these routes and ambush their
reinforcements," Rocky exined matter-of-factly. Of course, he saw the big picture and spotted what
the girls had missed.
"But how will we cross the Shura Race''s border?" Michelle couldn''t help but ask.
