Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1584 Rocky Went Back Alone
At this moment, all the people in Fraser's tent were in utter disbelief.
"What do you mean the Celestial Gate Position was lost? How is that even possible? What the hell isgoing on?" Fraser was obviously discombobulated at the sudden news.
At the same time, everyone present looked at each other with pale faces. No one could figure thereason out why the Celestial Gate Position would fall. It was unimaginable because it shouldwithstand the forces of the spiritual race.
Moreover, what made people even more baffled was the fact that Rocky's prediction had been spoton. People even ridiculed him when he said that the Celestial Gate Position would be the target ofthe spiritual race. But now, they were rendered speechless when it turned into reality.
"What a blunder! If only we have listened to Basil's warning and immediately informed GrandCommander You about it, we could have avoided this,” Bertram could not help but rant and expresshis frustration.
"It's useless to say that now. We cannot undo it." Of course, Fraser was the most miserable one.Never did he expect that what Rocky predicted would really come true.
The other deputy commanders who also looked down upon Rocky looked very gloomy andregretful.
"What is the situation of the Celestial Gate Position right now?" Fraser changed the topic andwanted to get an update.
"After the position fell to the enemies, Grand Commander You led the rest of his troops andretreated to Deadwood Road. He planned to set up the camp there because if it also falls into thehands of the spiritual race, all the front lines in the left wing will be exposed to the attack of thespiritual race army,” one of the deputy commanders reported in detail.
"But did Grand Commander You give any instruction for other commanders?" Fraser asked, feelingguilty of everything that happened.
"No, there isn't. Although, I personally think that we should go and support the troops of the grandcommander.”
"That's a good idea. We must reinforce and defend Deadwood Road at all costs. Otherwise, theentire left wing will be in danger.”
"l agree. If we can extend our support and defeat the troops of the spiritual race that are after GrandCommander You, there still might be a chance to take back the Celestial Gate Position!""Commander Fraser, I know that Grand Commander You did not issue any instructions, but he musthave no time to do it because he was too busy taking care of the affairs in Deadwood Road. Ibelieve that when the commanders in other passes receive this news, they will also take action andcome to the grand commander's aid. Therefore, we should take this chance and make noteworthycontributions!"
The deputy commanders expressed their opinions about what they could do next.
"Commander Fraser, I'm willing to lead my team, head to Deadwood Road, and become the grandcommander's support,” one of the deputy commanders immediately volunteered. With the thoughtthat this was a great opportunity to make contributions, he spoke without any hesitation."Commander Fraser, let us not be hasty. If we assemble more troops and randomly send them tothe Celestial Gate Position, I'm afraid that this will just create more disorder. If the soldiers could notattack with proper coordination, the spiritual race will just easily triumph over them!" Bertramvoiced his opinion and continued, "Besides, if the grand commander did not issue any military orderto support his troops, it should not be a mistake. Right now, it will be better if we stay in ourposition and guard the Bear Pass."
"The Celestial Gate Position is the core of the entire left wing. If we can't take it back as soon aspossible, can you imagine the losses that it will cause? With our troops there, we can buy some timefor the grand commander to take action.” Although Fraser sounded that he was sincere insupporting Grand Commander You, it was obvious that he had an ulterior motive.
"But, sir..." Bertram wanted to say something more to stop Fraser.
"I don't want to hear it, Bertram. You'd better behave yourself." Then, Fraser turned towards theother deputy commanders. "Deputy Commanders Chen and Huang, gather about twenty thousandsoldiers and lead them to Deadwood Road to give support to the grand commander!"
Upon hearing Fraser's orders, the two deputy commanders cupped their hands and immediatelyleft.
At the same time, Bertram could just shake his head while he headed out with the other deputycommanders.
Meanwhile, as Rocky heard the news about the fall of the Celestial Gate Position, he was notsurprised at all. In fact, he thought that it was just really a matter of time before it happened.
"It turned out that your prediction was spot on! I bet Commander Fraser is very regretful right now,"Eunice said haughtily.
"Well, it is more interesting this way." Kye just nodded and let out a sneer.
Soon enough, Bertram appeared in front of the three.
"How is Commander Fraser doing right now?" Eunice asked right away.
"Well, what do you think?" Bertram answered as he let out a bitter smile.
"Ha! Of course, he must be so pissed off!" Kye said with a shrug.
"But that is actually not the most important thing right now. We have a huge problem. CommanderFraser just ordered and dispatched twenty thousand soldiers to support Grand Commander You onDeadwood Road," Bertram said with a serious expression.
"He did what? Has he lost his mind?" Eunice could not help but exclaim in shock.
"He never learns. He had already committed a huge mistake before, and now, he is doing anotherone," Rocky said through gritted teeth.
"What do you mean by that?" Bertram immediately gave Rocky an anxious look.
"The spiritual race took down the Celestial Gate Position to throw the commanders of the left winginto panicking. Of course, the commanders’ instinct would be to try to take the Celestial GatePosition back from them. Hence, they should have already made a trap at the position. They will useit as bait in order to attract the other forces. This way, the commotion will give them the ultimatechance to take down the other passes now with fewer guards,” Rocky explained in detail
"If that is the case, then the Bear Pass might be their next target!" Bertram jumped to a conclusion."I don't think so. Right now, many different forces are gathered in the Bear Pass. That's why I think itis also a distraction. Therefore, I think that their real targets are the other undermanned passes, andthat includes the Tiger Whisker Pass,” Rocky said as if he could see through everything.
"If that is true, then the Tiger Whisker Pass is in great danger right now! What should we do?"Bertram asked as his voice trembled slightly.
"Not much. We can only depend on Commander Tucker not to make the same mistake as the othercommanders. He should be able to foresee that this is just an elaborate trap,” Rocky said with asigh.
"Shouldn't we try to inform Commander Tucker immediately?" Bertram suggested nervously.
"I'm afraid it would be too late even if we try to do it now,” Rocky said firmly as he shook his head.After all, it would take at least two to three days before their message could be sent to the TigerWhisker Pass. By that time, the army of the spiritual race should have already taken action.
"Then, what can we still do? We also can't disobey the military orders by taking the troops backwithout permission...” Of course, Bertram had faith in Rocky's analysis. So, he was in a dilemma rightnow.
"Who cares about the order at this crucial time? The Tiger Whisker Pass is our base camp. I canalready imagine how many people will suffer from an injury or even death if we don't actaccordingly.” Kye retorted with heavy feelings.
Then, how about we withdraw half of our troops secretly?" Eunice suggested after thinking for awhile.
"You are still going to disobey the military order if we do that." Rocky shook his head and continuedthinking of other possible options.
"Basil, can you think of something?" Bertram looked at Rocky expectantly.
"It will be too late to take the army back, but if I go back alone, maybe it might work,” Rocky finallysaid after thinking for quite a while.
"Alone? This is not the time to be kidding!" Bertram was instantly taken aback by Rocky'soutrageous plan.
"You cannot go alone. You should at least need the spirit warriors to be with you. Right now, thereshould only be a dozen spirit warriors in the Tiger Whisker Pass. If they were attacked by the spiritwarriors of the spiritual race, I'm afraid they might not last long,” Eunice said frankly.
"But my Purple-flaming Phoenix cannot carry too many people. Besides, even if I could take somespirit warriors with me, there might not be that much of a difference.” Rocky waved his hand and letout a frown.
"Then what else can we do?" Bertram mumbled softly.
"Well, just wait for me. I'll go back to the Tiger Whisker Pass to confirm the situation there.” Rightnow, Rocky deemed that the most important thing was to return to the Tiger Whisker Pass andconfirm the overall situation there.
"We'll be waiting for you here." Bertram nodded, hoping that everything would turn out fine.
"By the way, if Commander Fraser somehow knew that I left, he will probably make trouble for you,"Rocky warned Bertram as he glanced at the deputy commander.
"Don’t worry about that. I can handle it. Your task is more important right now," Bertram saidresolutely. It was clear from his tone that he didn't really care about trivial things at the moment.Rocky just nodded and immediately summoned the Purple-flaming Phoenix. As it appeared, heswiftly leaped and landed on its back. In the blink of an eye, the two of them vanished into the sky."I hope Basil can make it in time...” Bertram mumbled as he clenched his fists, feeling somewhathelpless.
