Chapter 1610 A Head On Battle
"l also understand the situation very clearly. But to be honest, I still feel rather upset at times. Afterall, I have been a commander for ten years. However, since Basil came, I suddenly felt that all thoseyears I have spent being a commander were all in vain. Don't get me wrong. I am very thankful thatBasil is here. I'm just a little dismayed at myself that I am very inferior to him." Tucker sighed andrevealed a bitter smile on his face.
"Well, you are indeed right. Whenever I look at Basil, I feel like he is a general who has alreadyexperienced countless battles. But judging from his age, it should not be possible. However, all of ussaw his mysterious military arrays. Everyone would agree that no one would be better at using thoseaside from him. Therefore, Basil's strength and abilities are very extraordinary. If I were thecommander, I would let Basil play the more important role without hesitation. We are currently in asituation where all of the human lives are in our hands. We don't have time to be selfish,” Bertramsaid with utter sincerity.
"I agree. Thank you. I feel better after hearing that from you." Tucker let out a faint smile, pattedBertram on the shoulders, and eventually left.
At the same time, since Deputy Commander Tu had been killed in the battle, his troops had nochoice but to flee back to their camp.
When the army of the deputy commander returned and Isabel learned of his death, she was greatlyshocked and infuriated. After all, all of the deputy commanders were very capable and skillful.Moreover, they were all familiar with her mysterious military arrays. It just meant that the death ofone of her deputy commanders was a huge loss.
Soon enough, Isabel interrogated one of the accompanying adjutants in Deputy Commander Tu'sarmy. "How did the deputy commander die?" Isabel queried straightforwardly.
Hearing this, the adjutant stammered as he told the whole story.
"What? The human race's army didn't make use of their mysterious military arrays? But why? Theyjust took the initiative to fight back with their normal attacks?" Isabel was bewildered andimmediately felt that there was something wrong.
"Yes, madam." The adjutant simply nodded as he kept his head low.
"What is going on here? All this time, the enemy army had been using their own mysterious militaryarray to fight against us. But why wouldn't they use it this time? Don't tell me the commander readmy mind and knew my intention in advance? What are the odds?!" Isabel grumbled as shepondered on these thoughts. If the army of the human race could indeed foresee her intention andtactics, it was clear to her that the enemy commander was a genius and not at all ordinary."Commander, from the previous battles, we determined that the Heavenly Rain Valley is easy to raidbut hard to defend. Moreover, the overall strength of the human army inside the valley should befar inferior to ours. We have already done a lot of testing, so I think it would be better if we justattack them directly,” one of the deputy commanders suggested.
"I agree. We still have thirty thousand soldiers on our side and they only have about twentythousand. If you were to lead the next attack, the entire army would have high morale, and we caneasily obliterate the human race's army this time!" Another deputy commander expressed hisconfidence as well.
"It seems that both of you have forgotten what happened to Phelps recently. He underestimatedthe strength and capabilities of the human army and eventually paid a huge price for hisoverconfidence. I am not going to make the same mistake," Isabel retorted in a serious tone.
Upon hearing Isabel's response, the deputy commanders looked at each other awkwardly and didn'tdare to say anything more.
"Fine. Send our spies to explore the terrain of the Heavenly Rain Valley. In the next battle, I willpersonally lead our army and set up an array outside of the valley," Isabel ordered immediately.Although she could not make any rash actions, she still decided that it was the time that she metthe human army in person.
As Rocky predicted, three days after Isabel sent her spies to explore the terrain of the Heavenly RainValley, she personally showed up and led their army. She had also set up an array outside of thevalley and waited for the appearance of the human army.
Meanwhile, the human army had been establishing their defensive positions around the valley.
"Sir, the army of the spiritual race has already set up an array outside of the valley. Also, it seemsthat their commander is in the front line of their army,” Deputy Commander Ma reported as hewent inside Tucker's tent.
At this moment, Rocky, Eunice, and the others were also there and were having a meeting.
"Basil, what should we do now?" Tucker asked as his gaze fell on Rocky.
"Now that their commander has personally shown up to take actions, we can't show any weakness.Sir, I think that you should go and lead our army as well," Rocky replied with a straight face."Really? I assumed that you would want to meet their commander in person,” Tucker said bluntly. Asa matter of fact, he was indeed surprised to hear what Rocky said. However, Tucker was still thecommander, so there was actually nothing wrong with Rocky's suggestion. He should own up therole of the commander and boost the people's morale as they were finally about to clash with thearmy of the spiritual race in a decisive battle.
"Well, there's no hurry in doing that at this moment. Besides, it's better if we keep our trump cardsuntil the most critical moment, right?" Rocky said casually as he waved his hand.
"But the enemy has already set up a powerful array outside the valley. Moreover, we are about toface the enemy commander. I'm afraid my strength won't be enough to deal with them!" Tuckerhesitated and could not help but doubt his abilities
"I don't think so. Besides, if my hunch is right, the array that they set up is just a defensive one. Well,there's still the possibility that it can switch from a defensive array to an attacking one. However,they should probably gauge our fighting power first, so I think that they will not change it until theright time. So, you don't have to worry too much, sir," Rocky convinced Tucker as he gave hisanalysis of the situation.
"I see. If you think that this is the best course of action, then I will fulfill my part." Tucker noddedand then decisively ordered, "Gather ten thousand soldiers and follow my orders. We shall face theenemy!"
About an hour later, Tucker led the ten thousand soldiers and confronted the enemy at the edge ofthe valley.
Soon enough, the armies of both sides faced on the battlefield, and the atmosphere immediatelybecame tense.
Then, Isabel suddenly appeared in front of their army and said, "I am Isabel, the commander of thisarmy. May I know the name of my adversary?"
Hearing this, Tucker replied with dignity, "My name is Tucker Wang. I am the commander of thisarmy you are facing.”
"It's nice to finally meet you. I must admit that I didn't expect the presence of an expert in themysterious military arrays in the army of the human race,” Isabel said straightforwardly as hergorgeous eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ha-ha! I'm afraid you have the wrong idea. I might be the commander of the army, but I am notthe one responsible for the mysterious military arrays.” Tucker knew that Isabel was just testing him,so he responded casually.
"It was not you? Then who was the one who saw through the weaknesses of my arrays?" Isabelasked in surprise. If the commander was not the one who destroyed her arrays, then it meant thatthere were other powerful warriors among the ranks of the human race's army.
"Of course, I can't tell you that," Tucker answered with a grin. He deliberately teased Isabel to makeher overthink.
"Humph! Fine. But if you are the one who met me here, then does that mean that you can handlemy arrays as well?" Isabel asked as a provocation. Obviously, she already expected that Tuckerwould not tell her the truth.
"We will see,” Tucker replied with a confident sneer.
"All right then. I just have to remind you that this array is not as simple as the ones you haveencountered before. Be careful. Otherwise, it will be terrible if you accidentally get trapped in it,"Isabel warned haughtily.
"Little girl, I will also advise that you don't underestimate me. This veteran commander mightsurprise you, so you better watch out,” Tucker retorted, not giving in
"Then, I guess we'll just wait and see.” After saying that, Isabel turned around and quickly returnedto their array.
"Everyone! Release the Arrow Array!" Although Tucker was not that proficient in utilizing themysterious military arrays yet, he had been always good at using the ordinary arrays. Moreover, hewas a capable commander that would not easily go down without a fight.
Soon enough, the troops behind Tucker swiftly gathered in the center. The front of his troopslooked like the head of an arrow, which was one of the most typical attacking arrays. At the sametime, it could also be used to defend as the arrow at the front could resist the pressure that camefrom the enemy. However, its primary weakness was situated at the rear end, where the defense wasat the lowest. Hence, when using this, they must keep in mind that they could not fall into theenemy's encirclement.
