Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1607 Send Him To Fight
"Basil, I'm ashamed to ask you this, but I think we must rely on you again this time,” Tucker said witha bit of reluctance in his voice. He was well aware that the army of the spiritual race wasknowledgeable in using arrays to their advantage. Hence, they were not the kind of enemies thatany ordinary army of the human race could easily deal with. At this point, it was inevitable that theycould only rely on Rocky.
"Hmm, I'm not sure that is the best course of action right now. It would be overkill if I faced them.Why don’t we try sending Deputy Commander Fei to fight them instead? I can tell him the processof breaking their array to easily defeat our enemies,” Rocky suggested with a cunning smile. FromRocky's perspective, it was not really worth his effort to battle such a small army all the time.Moreover, he felt that there was something odd in the way the spiritual race's army fought. Hespeculated that they must still be hiding some tricks up their sleeves, so he wanted to send othersto fight first so he could test his assumption.
"But would that work?" Tucker asked, worried that something might go wrong during the battle."Of course. Trust me on this.” After saying that, Rocky approached Bertram and whisperedsomething to him.
While listening to Rocky's instructions, Bertram nodded repeatedly as he quickly understood whatRocky wanted him to do.
Immediately after, Bertram set out together with the Swimming Army to fight the army of thespiritual race outside the valley again.
But just like what happened last time, the spearhead of the spiritual race launched an array attackagain, which seemed like a vicious snake that was patiently trying to ensnare them. It wouldsometimes shrink and expand. And the moment it shrank, the enemy would launch a joint attackthat made Bertram's army fall into a passive position.
When Bertram and his team were already trapped in the enemy's encirclement, he suddenlysummoned a thousand soldiers and worked together to form a dragon-like head that rushedtowards the vital point of the enemy's snake-shaped array.
Immediately after, the array collapsed and could not be restructured again. Seeing that the arraywas successfully broken, Bertram seized the opportunity to launch a decisive blow towards theenemy. Unable to resist the intensity of the Swimming Army, the spearhead of the spiritual race waseventually forced to withdraw. After all, many of them were either killed or seriously injured. Soonenough, the spiritual race's army heard the sound of horns that came directly from theirheadquarters.
After that, they completely retreated from the battlefield.
As soon as there were already no signs of the enemy, Bertram led his army back to the HeavenlyRain Valley.
"Bertram, good job! You managed to defeat them soundly,” Tucker immediately praised him themoment Bertram returned from the field.
"Well, it is all thanks to Basil's instructions. He knew the exact weakness of the enemy's array,”Bertram responded modestly. He didn't dare to take all the credit because he knew that he wouldn'tbe able to succeed if it weren't for Rocky's guidance.
"Well, that is true. Basil is indeed the master of arrays. He can easily break into any array that theenemy will throw at us," Tucker remarked with a sigh
"You don't have to give me all the credit. I only gave the instruction but Deputy Commander Fei wasthe one who executed it. Anyway, although we managed to see through the weakness of theirarrays, we could still suffer great losses if we don't carefully study them. It seems that the enemycommander is not to be underestimated,” Rocky said with a serious expression.
"By the way, Basil, what is the difference between a military array and an ordinary array?” Tuckercouldn't help but ask. He had already seen the three kinds of military arrays that were taught byRocky and felt that they were very powerful compared to the ordinary ones.
"The function of an ordinary array is mainly to attack or defend. However, when it comes to amilitary array, not only can it do those functions, but also increase the overall lethality of an attack,or boost its defensive prowess at the same time. Moreover, it can also boost the morale of the army,which is always a huge factor in battles,” Rocky explained in detail.
"I see. The truth is I had never seen a military array in person before you came here. But I heard thatthere was once a military master who had created a manual that contained hundreds of militaryarrays. If the military arrays are so powerful, then if someone could get a hold of that manual, hecould lead an invincible army on the battlefield!" Tucker commented excitedly.
Upon hearing that, Rocky could not help but smile faintly. After all, the manual that Tucker wastalking about was the same manual recording the mysterious military arrays that he had inheritedfrom the Scarlet Heaven Jade,
"Well, with Basil on our side, we still have the advantage. With his wisdom in terms of the arrays, wehave a huge chance of defeating the spiritual race's army!" Deputy Commander Ma took theopportunity to flatter Rocky.
Meanwhile, the deputy commander, who led the spearhead of the spiritual race and faced theSwimming Army, had returned to the tent of their commander.
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw a delicate figure sitting in the seat of the commander. At thesame time, the other three deputy commanders were standing beside her.
"Commander, I apologize! I didn't expect that our enemy could break our array. I deserve anypunishment!" The deputy commander lowered his head and apologized sincerely.
"Hmm. I also can't believe that they easily destroyed my Snake Array. It seems that the enemycommander is not weak. I might have misjudged them,” Isabel, the commander, said as shenarrowed her eyes. As one of the few commanders in the spiritual race's army who wasknowledgeable in mysterious military arrays, Isabel was highly valued by the new commander inchief. She was actually full of confidence when she was tasked to lead a team to attack the HeavenlyRain Valley. However, she had not expected that she would meet someone that might be on thesame level as her when it came to arrays.
"Commander, there is a possibility that our enemy has just been lucky. We can attack them onemore time. I volunteer to lead the Iron Ox Army to engage them on the battlefield,” one of thedeputy commanders insisted.
"Fine. If you are that confident, then I permit you to do what you want," Isabel answered withoutthinking twice. She was actually convinced that the human race's army might have been luckybefore, so she also wanted to give it another try.
"Yes, madam. I will do my best!" Then, the deputy commander of the Iron Ox Army bowed andimmediately left the tent.
About an hour later, he led his men and began approaching the Heavenly Rain Valley.
"Basil, I think the array of the enemy looks a little strange this time.” Soon enough, Tucker and theothers spotted the Iron Ox Army together with its peculiar array just outside of the Heavenly RainValley.
"Hmm, it is indeed a bit strange. It looks like an ox's horn. So, should I assume that it is mainly usedfor attacking? Deputy Commander Ma, please lead the Shield Army this time. We shall see howstrong this array is,” Rocky said to Deputy Commander Ma with a grin on his face.
At this moment, Deputy Commander Ma was the best candidate to lead an army to test thestrength of the peculiar-looking array of the spiritual race's army. After all, he was the mostexperienced one when it came to the three military arrays that Rocky taught to the army whoguarded the Tiger Whisker Pass.
Without any hesitation, Deputy Commander Ma immediately summoned the Shield Army to engagethe enemy army.
Just as Rocky expected, the array of the enemy this time was solely focused on attacking. Its attackswere rather sharp and aggressive, like the horns of an ox. Consequently, it put a lot of pressure onthe Shield Army. Fortunately, the Shield Army was excellent in terms of defense. Therefore, in theend, the Iron Ox Army was unable to get a clear upper hand.
After four hours of being in a stalemate, the deputy commander of the enemy realized that it wouldbe useless to continue fighting. They would just waste their time and energy, so he had no choicebut to pull out his army and retreat to their camp in dejection.
"Commander, I failed. It seems that our enemy's array is also very powerful! I admit that I was wrongto underestimate them," the deputy commander said with his head lowered as soon as he cameback to Isabel's tent.
"Even your Iron Ox Array couldn't break through their defenses?" This time, Isabel felt rather oddwith the turn of events.
"No, we couldn't defeat them. We did everything we can, but we couldn't move forward," thedeputy commander admitted in regret.
"Is the enemy army also using a mysterious military array? But that is impossible. There shouldn't beanyone proficient in mysterious military arrays among the human race...” Isabel murmured to herselfas her brows furrowed. At this point, she was feeling a bit restless.
In order to confirm her assumption, she immediately came up with a plan. Thus, she said to a thinbut shrewd deputy commander, "Deputy Commander Tu, lead your troops to lure the enemy outvia the Neutralizing Array. If they are really using a mysterious military array, it should not workwithin your Neutralizing Array."
"Yes, madam! We will set out at once," Deputy Commander Tu replied and nodded. Then, he quicklyleft to gather his troops.
Soon enough, Deputy Commander Tu's army had reached the area outside the Heavenly RainValley. This time, Rocky became more cautious of the enemy's movements. If they were thispersistent, he speculated that the enemy commander was testing their strength. It also meant thatthe military array that they would use this time might be a bit different from the previous ones.After Rocky gave it some thought, he suddenly turned to Eunice and suggested, "Eunice, why don'tyou give it a try this time?"
