Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 673 A Troubled Heart
The look on Laney's face changed when she heard Alyssa mentioned Rocky's name. She bit her lipsas memories came flashing back into her head, knowing she could have erased it long ago. This wassomething she must keep from Alyssa, because Alyssa would end her life if she found out.
"I'm afraid that Blood Lord Leo will continue to act on impulse, and if he does, it will ruin our plan.You need to join the left wing defense as soon as possible. Go there and act as an emissary ofTimber Deity Empire. Stay around Blood Lord Leo and keep an eye on him. Make sure you arealways one step ahead of his plans. If possible, use your charm to control him and make him listento whatever you may say. I don't care what method you will use. Just make sure that he will not getin my way and ruin my plan,” Alyssa ordered Laney with a deep, serious voice.
"Copy that. I will go right away.” Laney switched her thoughts back to reality and nodded at Alyssain agreement.
"There's another thing. Since you know Rocky very well, give Blood Lord Leo a hand if necessary.Make sure he will not fall into Rocky's hands once again. Stay focus and always keep our plan inmind. We will destroy Crimson Dragon Army little by little and we will use the Roaring Flame Empireto accomplish that," Alyssa added.
Laney nodded again, then turned around and left.
"Brother, did you finish the letter I asked you to write?" Alyssa asked as she fixed her eyes onWoods
"Yes, it's done,” Woods replied.
"What are you waiting for? Have it sent out right away! The Holy Dragon Empire is enjoying toomuch peace. It's time to cause a little trouble for them.” An evil smile spread across Alyssa's face. Awicked idea just entered her mind, and it would surely stir up troubles in the Holy Dragon Empire.Meanwhile, under the leadership of Rocky, the Crimson Dragon Army defeated Roaring FlameEmpire with a loss of about ten thousand troops. The casualty from the Roaring Flame Empire haddoubled, and most of them were from Blood Lord Army. The fighters were trained by Blood LordLeo, and this meant that the combat power of Roaring Flame Empire was by now reduced to lessthan a half.
It was a striking success for Crimson Dragon Army. The battle plan they used was very impressive,however, Roaring Flame Empire remained superior in terms of number. Blood Lord Leo had beenfooled once, and he swore to himself that it would never happen again. A tougher and moredangerous battle was sure to come.
Another thing that Crimson Dragon Army had to worry about was Blood Lord Leo's wrath. Theheavy loss infuriated Blood Lord Leo to the core, and his remaining forces were all set to make amove. The entire army had prepared themselves to attack the Crimson Dragon Army right away.But Rocky did not think it was bad news. He wanted Roaring Flame Empire to attack as soon aspossible. They were weak, and it would surely manifest the moment they made a move. Once theyattacked, Rocky would grab the opportunity to give them another blow, a more dreadful one thistime. Something would make the Roaring Flame Empire army retreat and run back home like scareddogs. With this, Rocky asked Allen to send all of his master hands of the Heavenly Stage from theElite Regiment to keep their eyes fixed on the enemy. He wanted to know every plan, every detail.Only a complete understanding of the enemy could bring them victory.
"Commander in Chief, I just got hold of a piece of information. Timber Deity Empire sent anemissary to the left wing. It must be one of Alyssa’s tricks. She's impatient, and it looks like she can'twait to cause trouble.” Allen stormed into the room and reported the news to Rocky with a worriedlook on his face.
"That's reasonable. Roaring Flame Empire just suffered a heavy loss. I don't think Alyssa will just sitby and do nothing. If I am not mistaken, Alyssa must have sent her emissary to keep an eye onBlood Lord Leo. She cannot let him rush into careless actions. Now, we're in real trouble,” Rockyreplied and breathed out heavily. He frowned and remained deep in thoughts. If Blood Lord Leowould not attack as he expected, the Crimson Dragon Army would never have the chance to defeathim and his army.
"Yes, but a leopard cannot change its spots. Blood Lord Leo is still the same ruthless man, no matterwhat Alyssa’s emissary said to convince him. I'm sure this is just temporary. He will soon itch to fightback and turn the tables on us. Trust me!" Allen shared his own assessment.
"I don't know. It really depends on who the emissary is. Please check the identity of the emissarysent by Alyssa as soon as possible. It is very crucial to us. I think it might be Woods. He is quitegood at persuading people,” Rocky suspected.
"I understand. I will replace out as soon as possible," Allen said and left the room.
"It's getting late, time to go and check,” Rocky murmured when he was alone. He stood outsideand gazed at the stars above him. There was a cool breeze in the air and he took a relaxing walkoutside of the camp. He was enjoying his time alone, but then something stopped him as he nearedthe gate. A delicate figure was walking towards him. It was dark, and the two of them almostbumped into each other.
"Isis, what's up?" Rocky asked as he stared at the rosy face in front of him. Surprised, Isis took a stepback and tried to hide the blush that crept on her face.
"Are you going out?" Isis asked in a hesitant voice.
"Oh, right. I still have a few wild spirit-manipulated beasts that are under transformation. I want tofinish them as soon as possible.” Rocky's voice faltered as he tried to give a half-baked excuse toIsis.
"Oh, I see." Isis nodded her head and said nothing else.
"Is there anything you need? Look, I'm not in a hurry. Please go ahead if you need something fromme," Rocky shrugged.
"It's nothing urgent. It's just that my father and I had a serious talk the last time he was here. Hewanted to remove me from my position as Deputy Commander in Chief after this war with TimberDeity Empire. As a father, what he always wanted was for me to live a normal life. I'm his onlydaughter. He even joked that he wanted to be a grandfather as soon as possible. I really don't knowhow to tell him. We are not an actual couple and he really put me in a tight spot here.” Isis’ beautifulface turned bright red as she narrated her problem. It was a dilemma for her, and she still could notfigure out a way out of it. Even if she grew up in a camp, Isis was still very conservative. A traditionalgirl who always followed whatever her father asked her to do. But now, she was confronted with anawkward situation. She and Rocky were not a real-life couple and were married for other reasons.She had thought about it really hard, but still unable to come up with a solution. Finally, she decidedto discuss the matter with Rocky. She was well aware that she could only hide the truth from herfather for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Rocky stared at her, confused. Isis had always been straightforward to him, and it was weirdlistening to her right now. It sounded like she was asking something from him, but he could not tellwhat it was. Maybe even Isis did not know what she was looking for.
"Oh, that. So, what's your plan?" Rocky thought for a while and asked.
"I don't know. I don't have the heart to tell him that our relationship is fake. That we got married fora different reason, other than love. I'm afraid that it will break his heart into pieces. He might blamehimself if he thinks that I married you because of the Crimson Dragon Group. I really don't knowwhat to do!" Isis said with a bitter smile. Confusion was written all over her pretty face. She felt tornbetween Rocky and her love for her father.
In truth, Isis was not bothered by this arrangement with Rocky before. It was only after she had atalk with her father that she realized the complications. It was only now that she realized the thingsthat she had to consider and the possible consequences of her actions. She was resolved not tospend her life with another man, even after Rocky had fulfilled his dreams. Even after Rocky left herone day. She planned to spend the rest of her life pretending to be his wife. But now, she realized, itwas not that easy. People expected something else from her and Rocky, especially her father.Everything was real to him.
"If you have any idea, just tell me. I will cooperate with you as much as I can. That's a promise,”Rocky said sincerely. Isis had done so much for him, and he wanted to do something for her inreturn. Anything to make her feel or live her life better.
Isis was speechless after she heard what Rocky said. She had an idea, but it was difficult and tooembarrassing to say.
"If there is nothing else, I will have to go now. Once you get an idea, come to me and tell me rightaway, okay?" He then smiled at her and left her alone at the gate.
Isis could not help but turn around and stare at the fading figure of Rocky. Tears rolled down hercheeks as she felt more depressed than ever.
