Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1612 His Plan
The moment that the speed of the human race's army increased, surprise filled Isabel's face. HerSnake Array could use the mysterious power and make her army march faster. Logically speaking, itshould be easy to catch up with the human race's army. What she hadn't been expecting was thatthe human race's army would also speed up. She thought hard but she couldn't figure out whatkind of trick they had used
Despite this, she did not give up. Instead, she chased after the human race's army as fast as shecould.
Moving quickly, the troops led by Tucker arrived at the west of the Heavenly Rain Valley. There, theymet the army of five thousand soldiers that was led by Bertram. The latter had to wait there for theambush. Afterward, Tucker and his army turned and retreated into the Heavenly Rain Valley, leavingBertram and his army behind.
The moment that Isabel and her army arrived, they were ambushed by Bertram's army.
All around them, countless arrows flew from a covered area on one side of the forest. Soon, the skywas covered with them. It looked like it was raining.
"There is an ambush. Stop chasing them!" Isabel ordered, stopping in her tracks. She had thoughtthat the human army was too busy running to set up an ambush. Because she was cautious anddetermined, she called her army back to her side.
However, as a result of the sudden ambush, her army was panicking.
After completing their task, Bertram and his army walked away, leaving the spiritual race's army inits chaos. Now, they were scouting the area to see if there would be a second ambush.
Before long, Isabel realized that she had been fooled and she grew even angrier. However, thehuman race's army had already retreated without a trace, so she had no other choice but to retreattoo.
By the time Tucker and his army returned to the Heavenly Rain Valley, he had broken out in a coldsweat.
They waited for a while until Bertram and his army joined them.
Then, Tucker summoned Rocky, three deputy commanders, and Eunice to his tent to discuss what todo next.
"The enemy commander is so powerful! I almost fell into her trap!" Tucker exclaimed. There was stillsome fear lingering in his eyes.
"Yes. She seems to be quite proficient at the mysterious military arrays. Fortunately, I saw throughthe array she deployed just in time. Otherwise, sir, you would have suffered losses,” Rocky stated. Infact, he had asked Tucker to go out to meet the enemy in order to see how strong the enemy'sarray would be. There had been no reason for Rocky to suspect that the enemy commander wouldbe that proficient at the mysterious military arrays.
"Yes, and she is a female. She's going to be difficult to get rid of!" Tucker sighed.
"Their strength is superior to ours, and their commander understands the mysterious military arrayswell. We are at a disadvantage,” Rocky commented with a frown.
"Basil, aren't you also proficient at the mysterious military arrays? If we were to use them, I think wemay be able to regain the upper hand,” Bertram proposed.
"I am, but I can't teach the soldiers the more profound mysterious military array now because thereisn't enough time. Besides, it looked like the spiritual race's army has been trained very strictly. Wecould use arrays to fight them, but we may still suffer losses in the battle. And we can't forget thattheir army can change their array very fast. I saw it with my own eyes. I wasn't expecting it," Rockyadded.
"So you're saying that we're in grave danger?" Tucker asked. It was at that moment that he realizedthat the situation was more serious than he had originally thought.
"It's more than that. I'm worried that the spiritual race's army knows the limits of our strength. Ifthey do, they will attack the Heavenly Rain Valley in a couple of days," Rocky said with a frown. Theonly purpose behind the spiritual race's army setting up so many arrays was to test the strength ofthe human race's army. Therefore, the enemy commander must know exactly what their strengthsand weaknesses were.
"Do you have a plan?” Tucker asked Rocky as more worry crept onto his face
"The Heavenly Rain Valley is hard to defend. Once we are attacked, we will replace ourselves in asituation where we can't fight back. If we want to change our fate, we have to rely on thefortification we just built,” Rocky explained.
"What fortification?" Tucker asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
"I designed a fortification that matches the terrain of the Heavenly Rain Valley. The layout of thevalley is like a cage. If a bird flies in, whether by accident or on purpose, it will have a hard timegetting out,” Rocky answered, using a simple metaphor.
"It seems that you've already anticipated this! You are inspiring!" Tucker praised, feeling a rush ofjoy cut through his anxiety.
"I don't claim to be an inspiration. It's only chance that my original plan was designed to fit ourcurrent conditions. I didn't expect to be able to use it so soon," Rocky replied calmly.
"I wonder when they will launch the attack! We have to prepare! They could come at any time!"Tucker continued.
"Now that they failed to lure us out, I think they will become restless fast. I believe they will launchan attack tomorrow. So we need to send our men to the entrance of the Heavenly Rain Valley andget them to form a defensive line. Then our men will pretend to resist the spiritual race's armybefore luring them into the Heavenly Rain Valley." Rocky carefully laid out the details of his plan."But our enemy is stronger than us. If their whole army enters the valley, we will still be at adisadvantage! We can't handle all of them!" Eunice questioned.
"I know. That is why we must separate them. Deputy Commander Fei, tonight, you will lead threethousand soldiers out of the valley and take cover near the camp of the spiritual race's army.Tomorrow, when they launch attacks, you will ambush them. After they realize what is happening,they will send a part of their forces to protect the camp and their provisions. That way, they will bein small enough chunks for us to handle,” Rocky answered. He had been planning everything out inhis mind. Now, they had to hurry to put it into action.
"That will work,” Bertram replied, nodding.
"Basil, I'm relieved to see you so confident,” Tucker said, breathing out a deep sigh.
"This isn't the time to start slacking! We can't underestimate the strength of our enemy. Prepare allof the soldiers for a fight!" Rocky said. Then, he departed.
That evening, Bertram and Eunice led an army of three thousand people out of the Heavenly RainValley and they crept under the shade of the trees. After lots of walking, they stopped in a hiddenarea that was three miles away from the military camp of the spiritual race's army.
Meanwhile, as Rocky had predicted, Isabel was planning on launching a general attack on theHeavenly Rain Valley the next day. At that moment, she had gathered all her deputy commandersand leaders and they were discussing the offensive tactics they would need.
Early in the morning of the second day, the spiritual race's army suited up and marched to theentrance of the Heavenly Rain Valley. And this time, they didn't stop and provoke their enemies.Instead, they launched a fierce attack against the defensive line of the Heavenly Rain Valley that wasstanding at the entrance.
After fighting back with all their might, the defensive line suddenly collapsed and retreated into theHeavenly Rain Valley.
