Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

Fortunately, Kye failed his attempt to frame Rocky up this time. But somehow, there was a sudden change in his attitude and no one knew what caused it. Although he still didn't get along well with Rocky, he did not try to make trouble for him anymore.

Meanwhile, about half a month had already passed.

The spearhead, who had gone on patrol to the front line half a month earlier, had been completely out of touch. Nobody knew what exactly happened, so Tucker immediately summoned the other two deputy commanders, as well as some military officials, including Rocky, to discuss the current situation.

"Three days had already passed since Deputy Commander Ma last reported. The only reason I can think of is that they are in a troubling situation right now.

On the other hand, Rocky continued to move forward, together with Kye and the other three remaining members.

Luckily, their hard work had finally paid off a little. After treading through the dangerous area, they seemed to find some clues about their mission. They noticed that there were some corpses of human soldiers upon reaching the middle part of the gorge. Judging from the degree to how the corpses started to rot, Rocky estimated that they had died about two days before they found them.
