Chapter 1092 The Situation Was Serious

"Before going to the Ximen Mansion, I sent people to pick up Lena from Palace City. If everything goes
well, you will be reunited with her soon," Marcia said.

It was only after hearing this that Rocky breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry now was Lena's
safety. After all, Alston was a truly despicable man. Now that he knew that Rocky was still alive, he
would definitely use any means possible to kill Rocky, including using Lena as bait.

"I'm leaving now," Marcia added. Then, she nodded at everyone and left the hall.

Following her departure, the entire hall went quiet, and a sense of anxiety loomed over all of them.

After a while, Rocky noticed Flint staring at him strangely. Unable to ignore it any longer, he turned to
Flint and said, "Hey, dude, you've been staring at me this whole time. Did you fall in love with me
because I saved you?"

Flint, who was drinking tea, spat out the tea in his mouth and coughed violently. The people in the hall
could not help bursting out into laughter, which finally eased the serious atmosphere.

"Flint, just ignore him! Nothing decent comes out of his mouth," Sabina grumbled.

"I still don't believe that you are the Basil whom I knew years ago," Flint said coldly after a moment of
silence.

"I'm not the Basil I used to be. That Basil died a long time ago." Rocky's eyes darkened.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged knowing glances. They had already guessed that Rocky must
have overcome a lot after leaving the Palace City. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to
survive, let alone become as strong as he was now.



"I can't even connect you with the Basil I used to know. You've changed a lot. When I received General
Marcia's order to go to Wal City to support you, I didn't even recognize you at first. I didn't expect you to
be Prince Basil," said Mia, who had been silent so far.

Everyone's gaze once again turned to Rocky, this time tinted with a hint of serious respect.

A while later, Marcia walked into the hall again, returning from the Dragon Valley. However, there was a
solemn expression on her face.

"What's happening?" Rocky asked her at once.

"The elders are all cultivating in seclusion. They won't come out until three days later," Marcia replied
with a frown.

"Three days? But anything could happen within three days." Elvis frowned, shaking his head.

"It seems that we have to be the enemies of the whole royal family. We don't have a choice. Even if we
don't take action, Alston definitely will," Sabina said as she clenched her fists.

"How about this? I can send Laney to ask Master Lucas to send us some masters from the Cao Clan
for support. Besides, the new emperor of the Timber Deity Empire is also on Basil's side. Maybe they
can help," Lucilla suggested immediately.

"Although they support Basil, this is the business of the Holy Dragon Empire, so we can't ask people
from another country to help. Besides, it will take them at least three days to get here anyway. By then,
everything may have been settled," Marcia replied, squinting her eyes in thought.

Upon hearing this, Lucilla turned to Rocky for his opinion.

"General Marcia is right. Don't bother Woods and the Cao Clan," Rocky said as he nodded in
agreement.



Suddenly, something occurred to Marcia and she looked around in a hurry. "Hasn't Lena come back
yet?" she asked worriedly.

"No." Rocky shook his head and pressed his lips into a thin line.

"It's been too long. Do you think something went wrong?" Marcia frowned.

As if on cue, a man with bloodstained clothes suddenly staggered into the hall. Half-kneeling in front of
Marcia, he panted and said in a hurry, "Everyone who was sent to fetch Her Royal Highness from the
Palace City has been discovered. I am the only one who managed to escape."

"What about Lena?" Rocky asked in shock.

"She has been imprisoned in the Witch Palace. Now, the entire palace is being guarded by a large
number of troops."

"I have to save her," Rocky said resolutely, clenching his fists.

"She's safe for the time being. We have to come up with a plan first," Marcia said seriously.

"No," Rocky growled. "We have to save her as soon as possible. Now that she is in Alston's hands, he
will definitely threaten me with her. He may even hurt her." Since Alston knew how important Lena was
to Rocky, she was undoubtedly in grave danger.

"But Alston's goal is to kill you. For now, Lena is the biggest bargaining chip that he has, so he won't
hurt her just yet," Sabina said, trying to calm Rocky down.

Mia nodded. "If we want to save her, we have to break into the Palace City by force. But even in normal
times, the Palace City is well-guarded. If Alston has raised the security, even a fly wouldn't be able to



get in." Having once served as the commander of the Palace City's guards, she knew the city's security
better than anyone else.

"We will need a lot more people then. With the number of people we have now, we won't even be able
to break the gate of the Palace City. However, the most troublesome thing is that if Alston mobilizes the
elite power of the royal family, we won't be able to contend against him unless we can mobilize the elite
power of the Rime Army Group and the Crimson Dragon Group, as well as the masters of the Ji Clan
and the other clans," Elvis said thoughtfully.

This immediately put a damper on everyone's moods; they knew that Elvis was right.

Marcia was the first to resume her composure and nod in agreement. "Exactly. The Palace City is
impregnable and is guarded by lots of masters. It's not easy to break in, so we must be fully prepared."

"But we don't have time. Alston is definitely going to battle me within three days. And this time, it's a
fight to the death," Rocky said sternly.

"I'm afraid that he has already set up a trap and is just waiting for us to walk into it," Sabina chimed in.

"Since he wants to kill me anyway, I will trade my life for Lena's. I can't let her get hurt again," Rocky
said resolutely with trembling fists.

However, Marcia shook her head. "You know how despicable Alston is. Even if you give your life, he
may not let go of Lena in the end."

"It doesn't matter. We know that Alston will go all out to kill me. So, we can use that to our advantage.
I'll keep him busy. What you need to do is to save Lena," Rocky said calmly. It seemed that he already
had a plan in mind.

"Are you saying that you're going to be the bait?" Marcia immediately understood what Rocky meant.



"Get ready," Rocky said. Although he didn't answer Marcia's question, the look on his face was evident
enough.

A grim atmosphere descended over the entire hall. Everyone knew how serious the situation had
become.

Seeing that Rocky had made up his mind, Marcia didn't say anything more.
