Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1964 Decide To Start
Zain glanced at Rocky thoughtfully. He had given a sound suggestion, but Zain was still wary of theGhost Fief's army and Rocky himself. After all, they worked for Layla. They might betray Zain, whichwould be quite troublesome.
However, he couldn't think of any other way to transport the water and food except through thehelp of the Ghost Fief's army.
On his end, Rocky patiently held his silence, for he knew that Zain needed to make this decisionindependently. That would also prevent Zain from laying the blame on him in the future.
"Odin, please go back to the Ghost Fief's army at once. Ask Leader Gilbert to collect all the cleanwater in the Wind Plain and send it along with the food in two days. I also want you to take Israelwith you, so he can assist you with the preparations,”
Zain finally decided.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." With that, Rocky nodded, turned around, and left.
"Your Royal Highness, I see that you are still wary of Odin!" Adrian suddenly remarked.
"Of course. He may seem like a simple person, but that's only for show. However, for the time being,we have no choice but to depend on him,"
Zain confessed with a sigh. His eyes gazed coldly into the horizon that Rocky had disappeared in.On the flip side, Rocky found Israel and passed on to him Zain's orders. Israel then accompaniedhim as he returned to the camp of the Ghost Fief's army in the Wind Plain.
The resentment in Israel's eyes remained strong, even as he traveled alongside Rocky. He feltexceedingly envious of Rocky because the most outstanding Godly Genius of the nine fiefs used tobe him. Israel had been used to people worshipping the ground he walked on, but since Rocky haddefeated him, he couldn't seem to surpass the other man. Although they were both Godly Geniusesof the royal family and were on an equal footing now, Rocky kept on achieving so much, which lefthim in the dust. Therefore, at this time, the enemy he wanted to kill the most was Rocky.
Of course, Rocky knew what was on Israel's mind. He didn't care about Israel though, as the manwas no threat to him at all. Thus, he paid no attention to the other man and his sullen treatment ofhim, for in his eyes, Israel was like a child throwing a tantrum.
After returning to the camp of the Ghost Fief's army, Rocky went to Gilbert and relayed Zain'sorders.
Seeing that Israel had accompanied Rocky, Gilbert figured Zain didn't trust them at all and had evensent Israel to monitor their movements. Fortunately, they had already planned and prepared foreverything.
Then, Gilbert called on the whole army to collect clean water by all means.
It only took about half a day before the Ghost Fief's army had collected enough water for the royalarmy to last three more days. They stored it in bamboo tubes and loaded them with the food.
"Let's go!" As soon as Gilbert gave the order, the Ghost Fief's army instantly moved out, escortingthe water and food to the royal army's camp in the Red River Valley.
However, when they got to the Red River Valley, they found that fifty thousand soldiers led by theElite Fief's leader had blocked the entrance. They couldn't enter the valley.
Left with no choice, the Ghost Fief's army set up camp and racked their brains for a solution to thispredicament. How could they break through when they were so outnumbered?
"When did they start to block the entrance?" Israel murmured, looking puzzled.
"It must be after they burned the Red River Valley. They probably thought Prince Zain would retreatthrough the entrance, so they blocked it in hopes of an ambush. However, the prince must havesurprised them by not retreating,” Rocky explained after pretending to think for a while.
"Enoch is such a cunning trickster!" Israel cursed under his breath.
"This army was our opponent the last time we suffered a great loss, and the Elite Fief's leader callsthe shots. Be careful, they're not easy to deal with!" Gilbert warned as if he was frightened by theiropponent.
"Since when have you become so cowardly, Leader Gilbert? Isn't the strength of the Ghost Fief'sarmy on par with the Elite Fief's? We can charge headfirst into the valley as long as we canguarantee the safety of the water and food. Those need to be prioritized and sent into the valley,”Israel said with much disdain.
Rocky and Gilbert exchanged knowing looks. Evidently, Israel could not care less about the GhostFief's army and whatever they might lose. If the two armies fought against each other outright, bothsides would suffer extensive losses. However, Gilbert and Rocky would never allow the soldiers ofthe Ghost Fief's army to risk their lives for undeserving people like Zain.
"It's too risky to break through that siege by force. I think it will be better to divide our soldiers intotwo groups. One group will distract Enoch’s army, while the other group will wait for theopportunity to break through the entrance, sending water and food into the valley,” Rockysuggested.
"That sounds good. I will escort the water and food, and you two will be in charge of distractingEnoch's forces. Is that agreeable to you two?" Israel instantly volunteered.
"But escorting the water and food might be too dangerous. Let me do it instead!" Gilbertdeliberately tried to volunteer, knowing that Israel would take advantage of this opportunity tomake a name for himself.
"Leader Gilbert, you need to stay here because only you are on par with the Elite Fief's leader. If thatguy dares to make a move, we need you here to take care of him. As for Odin, his incredibleintelligence will be crucial just in case Leader Gilbert is not available to take the reins of the GhostFief's army. Therefore, I'm the most suitable person here to lead the group that will carry the waterand army provisions." Just as they expected, Israel insisted on leading.
"In that case, thank you, Israel,” Gilbert answered as if he had given up, even when he had no plansof taking the position anyway.
He then gave ten thousand soldiers to Israel, who led them as they carried the water and food theroyal army needed. Gilbert and Rocky, along with the remaining soldiers, went to distract Enoch'sarmy.
Since they had limited time, Gilbert and Rocky swiftly led their forces to the Red River Valley'sentrance, where they pretended to launch an attack. Enoch had forewarned the Elite Fief's leadernot to fight the Ghost Fief's army head-on, so even though he didn't understand why Enoch wouldorder that, he still obeyed the prince and instructed his men to defend instead of attack.
Rocky needed to create an opening for Israel and his team to break through, so he fought seriouslyat first. He led the Ghost Fief's army forward, and their forces fought their way through Enoch'sarmy.
Once they successfully breached Enoch's defenses, Israel made his move, and his forces carried thewater and food into the Red River Valley. They broke through the encirclement by force and finallygot into the valley.
Under Enoch's instructions, the leader of the Elite Fief refrained from giving chase to Israel and hismen, and they focused on fighting Gilbert, Rocky, and the Ghost Fief's army instead.
Seeing that Israel had successfully broken through the siege, Rocky and Gilbert instantly stoppedfighting and led the Ghost Fief's army back to the Wind Plain
"It looks like our plan has gone smoothly!" Gilbert said to Rocky once they have settled down.
"Did you notice how cautious Israel was against us? But he certainly didn't expect that I soakedthose bamboo tubes’ covers in special herbs. Once they drink the water those containers hold, theywill only get more and more thirsty!" Rocky sneered.
"But what if they replace out?" Gilbert asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry. Those herbs won't leave a trace, and any clue of their presence would fade away themoment they drink the contaminated water. Prince Zain won't replace anything.” Of course, Rockywould not leave any evidence.
"Now, let's see if Enoch can take advantage of the weakest moment of the royal army. He must landa good blow against Prince Zain soon," Gilbert muttered, looking excited. After all, he couldn't waitto see the two parties fight.
"This has nothing to do with us anymore. The road has been paved, and we can only wait and see.”Rocky knew that he couldn't predict exactly what would happen next. No matter how good theirplan was, there were still chances that something unexpected would happen. Therefore, everythingwas now in Enoch’s hands, as it was up to him if he could take advantage while the royal army wereat their weakest.
