Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

When Rocky and Marcia started working together, it seemed that even thousands of troops and horses couldn't stop them. Everyone present was terrified.

Soon, the set minutes had passed, and Rocky, who was in the mood to kill, had reached his limit. Marcia forced back two peerless masters at the Divine Stage then retreated to Rocky's side as soon as she noticed. She took out the Dragon Twined Wood and slapped it on to Rocky's chest, where it suddenly started glowing with golden light. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a dragon shadow and entered Rocky's body, crawling all over him with a life of its own. It sealed the power at the fifth layer that he had released before.

Rocky fell directly on top of Marcia's body as soon as the fifth layer's sealing power disappeared.

Marcia immediately grabbed hold of him, glaring darkly. "You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?" she asked coolly.

"Of course not!" replied Rocky as he looked back at her innocently. "I swear, I don't have the strength to stand by myself."

"Go away." Of course, Marcia wasn't gullible enough to believe him.

She threw Rocky none too gently at Lucilla, who swiftly caught him and allowed him to lean on her.

"Well, who else wants to fight?" This time, Marcia turned her attention to Geoffrey and Algy. She stared them down without fear, while the two looked like pitiful dogs who wanted to run with their tails between their legs.

She smirked widely when they couldn't meet her eyes.

"That's that then. Let's go!" Marcia turned away from the cowardly men and put two fingers to her lips, whistling.

At this moment, the dragon shadow that was previously hovering in the sky landed with a loud thud, stirring a cloud of dust.

"Help him up," Marcia said to Lucilla, who nodded promptly.

She pushed and pulled Rocky until he was on the back of the dragon shadow.

"Sister..." At this time, Queenie had already rushed over from the crowd of the Cao Clan.

"Queenie, please don't be angry at me. Just let me be willful this time." Lucilla begged Queenie, and a guilty expression flashed across her face. After all, it was not right to give up everything and hand over the burden of the Cao Clan to her younger sister. But since she had already made a choice, she had to stand by it. Lucilla knew that if she didn't take a stand down, she would regret it for

At this moment, a delicate figure suddenly appeared from the dark.

Geoffrey and the others took a closer look and saw that it was Alyssa.

"Alyssa, what are you talking about? You want us to let them go? You have conspired with the prince of the Holy Dragon Empire, and now, you still want to let them go? I must report this to the emperor! Woods and you will surely be punished!" Geoffrey shouted angrily.

"The emperor already knows about it. It is His Majesty's order to let them go," Alyssa answered calmly, unaffected by Geoffrey's anger.

"What?" Geoffrey was stunned.

"I told the emperor about it after the treasure hunting game. His Majesty said that we should not get into a conflict with the Holy Dragon Empire for the time being. Besides, Prince Basil had saved Woods' life once. We should return the favor." Alyssa had already expected this situation to happen, so she was well prepared.

She might look calm at that moment, but the truth was that it took a lot of effort to persuade the emperor. It was only for her sake that the emperor consented to let Rocky go this time. She had tried her best to protect Rocky.

This situation was beyond her own imagination. She almost made herself a traitor to the Timber Deity Empire for a man!

However, now that Rocky was gone, they could never be friends again. They could meet once again in this lifetime, but they would be as good as strangers, and at worst, they could be enemies on the battlefield once again. Despite that, no matter what the result was, she didn't regret what she had done for Rocky.
