Chapter 1093 Met Alston Alone

After everyone left to rest, Rocky immediately called Marcia and stopped her in her tracks.

"General Marcia, I need you to do me a favor. Let's go somewhere private so we can talk," Rocky
straightforwardly said to Marcia.

Marcia directed him to her study. He then told his idea to her. After hearing what he said, she was
utterly shocked that her mouth was wide open.

"No, absolutely not. I will not allow it! It's too dangerous!" Marcia exclaimed firmly as she shook her
head in disapproval.

"If we want to distract Alston and all the elites of the whole royal family by myself, this is the only
option," Rocky said with complete certainty and conviction.

"Wait, but..." Marcia hesitated. She was really unsure about Rocky's proposal.

"I'm stubborn and extremely willful, General Marcia. You know that very well by now. Even though you
object to this idea, I will do whatever I think is right," Rocky added seriously and firmly. His eyes were
full of passion and conviction.

"Why won't you take care of yourself just this once? You should know that the others and I always
worry about you..." Marcia, a little bit angry, stared at Rocky.

"Lena is waiting for me! We cannot delay this anymore! I need your help!" Rocky stared intently at
Marcia with an indescribable look in his eyes. He was turning more desperate by the hour.

"I will grant you this favor, I promise you. But if anything happens to you, I won't let you go even if you
die," Marcia warned Rocky in a dark tone.

"Thank you very much. I really appreciate it." Rocky gently smiled and then left the study.



Just as Rocky expected, Alston sent a messenger the next day. He was summoning Rocky to the
Palace City at noon the day after tomorrow. If Rocky rejected this order, he would lose his last chance
to see Lena.

So, there was not much time left for Rocky and his companions to prepare.

Marcia tried her best to gather all forces that would give them an advantage. However, it was not going
as smoothly as expected since they were running out of time. Some of the forces that had originally
supported Basil were now indecisive especially when they heard that Marcia was going to fight against
the royal family. This made Rocky's situation a lot worse.

On the other hand, as soon as Lance received the news from Marcia, he led some members of the
Elite Regiment including Allen, as well as several powerful commanders of the Crimson Dragon Army
to return to the Imperial City at once for support. Marcia also gathered a group of elites that were
transferred from the Rime Army Group.

The Ji Clan, led by Elvis, summoned Sabina and other two spirit manipulators at the Supernal Stage,
as well as some spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage. Besides that, Mia asked her own team of
war dragons, which supported Rocky before, to get ready.

Meanwhile, Rocky was studying the topographic map of the whole Palace City repeatedly. He was
making an astonishing operation plan that would exceed beyond Alston's expectation. When Rocky
explained his operation plan to Marcia and his other companions, they were extremely overwhelmed.

"Basil, are you really sure you want to do this?" Marcia asked in a serious tone, her eyes locked on
Rocky.

"With our current forces, we surely can't fight against the elite forces of the royal family and the
thousands of guards in the Palace City. So, if we want to save Lena, we have to be creative and use
some special tricks..." Rocky explained calmly.



"But nonetheless, I am still anxious about this operation. Can you really do it alone?" Lance asked
worriedly.

Rocky faintly smiled. He must do everything he could even if he did not know what would actually
happen. This was their only chance to save Lena.

"You must remember that you are now a father. Both Isis and Nigel need you. Leaving them is not an
option anymore," Lance earnestly reminded Rocky.

Sabina and Lucilla gazed at Rocky worriedly. However, the battle was about to begin, and Rocky had
already made up his mind, so they did not try to persuade him anymore. What they could do now was
to fully support Rocky in his plan.

"I will try my best to distract Alston. The rest heavily depends on every single one of you. We must do
this to save Lena!" Rocky encouraged them as he looked around the crowd.

Noon came and the scorching sun was shining right overhead.

Some dragon phantoms could be seen above the heavily guarded Palace City. Suddenly, a figure
shrouded in clouds and colorful light flew straight to the Palace City.

A team of war dragons above the Witch Palace noticed the colorful light. They immediately reported it
to Alston who was sitting on a golden throne in front of the Witch Palace.

"So, are you finally here?" Alston sneered and waved his hand at his men.

Many bowmen rushed out of the Witch Palace and assumed their positions. Countless bows and
arrows were released like a huge wave, shooting at the figure that had already flown over the Witch
Palace.



Of course, these ordinary arrows and bows were unable to block the figure, but the attack still slowed
down the figure's speed somehow.

Then, more than a dozen dragon phantoms had aggressively surrounded the figure.

A fierce air battle began. A Black Moon Blade suddenly slashed out in the air with astonishing speed.

Not long after, several war dragons were sliced open and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

At that time, the remaining war dragons immediately dispersed upon hearing a clear peal of a bugle-
note.

The colorful light also floated down. Just before it hit the ground, a figure jumped down from it and
stared coldly at the Witch Palace which was guarded by a lot of soldiers.

In front of the Witch Palace, there were thousands of palace guards, all of whom were spirit
manipulators at the Mortal Stage or the Earthly Stage. In addition to that, there were more than forty
spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage, more than a dozen at the Supernal Stage, and seven
peerless masters at the Divine Stage, including Elder Duke whom Rocky had met before. Most of the
elite forces of the royal family had gathered there to face him. Rocky had met almost all of them, except
for two elders who seemed to be the highly respected royal elders.

Of course, the royal family had many members who were not at the Witch Palace. Many royal elders of
the royal family had led an isolated life. However, it was obvious that Alston had already formed an
extremely powerful team.

"As the royal family of the Holy Dragon Empire, you do live up to the reputation. The elite power is so
strong!" Rocky exclaimed calmly in front of the powerful team.

Alston, who was nonchalantly sitting on the throne, stared coldly at Rocky.



"I didn't expect that you would dare come here alone. I thought you were going to lead a large number
of soldiers to break into the Imperial City. It seems that I have underestimated your courage." Of
course, Alston knew that it was impossible for Rocky to come alone. However, he was still a little
shocked that Rocky would come directly to the Witch Palace alone, while Marcia, Elvis and his other
companions did not follow him at all. However, none of those mattered. The most important thing was
that Rocky would soon be defeated and buried in front of the Witch Palace.

"I'm the one you want. Now that I am here completely alone, let Lena go!" Rocky exclaimed, shooting
Alston a deadly glare.
