Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"No, I reckon it won't end well for us if we keep fighting head-on. If you trust me, I think the best chance we have of surviving this is if we retreat to the west," Rocky suddenly said as he shook his head.

"Isn't the west a dead end?" Vivian asked after she took a glance at the direction.
