Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 375 A Cold Tone
Seeing that they were no longer in danger after retreating for several hours, Commander Sun fromthe Timber Deity Empire ordered everybody to have a rest on the spot. It was apparent that he wasstill upset. As per Alyssa's order, he had slipped into the rear area of the Crimson Dragon Army witha small scale mobile unit in order to intercept the supply of provisions and fodders of the CrimsonDragon Army. However, he hadn't successfully intercepted any provisions and fodders till now. Whatmade him extra annoyed, though, was that the transportation team of the Crimson Dragon Armyhad disappeared under his nose for several times. This issue was not acceptable because thereweren't many people in the transportation team, so his mobile unit should have been enough todeal with them.
The situation was truly horrible because even when things started to get better, something weirdhappened. When Commander Sun finally figured out the route that the transportation team hadtaken, he and the mobile unit were attacked by a group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts thatseemed to appear out of the blue. As a result, they had not only failed to intercept the provisionsand fodders transported by the Crimson Dragon Army, but also lost their own provisions andfodders. All of their provisions and fodders had been burned when they began retreating. Maybethey could not hold up for even one day.
"Sir, what should we do next?" the deputy commander asked.
"What else can we do when we don't even have enough people to deal with a group of wild beasts?Of course we should retreat to our own territory as soon as possible. I'm already tired of staying atthis desolate place,” Commander Sun answered in a discontented tone while spitting out a lot ofcurses.
"Commander, bad news, bad news!" a spirit manipulator shouted while running here quickly fromthe rear of the unit. Panic was all over his face.
"Oh, dear God! What else happened?” Commander Sun asked, staring at the spirit manipulator withattentive eyes.
"Oh, well... A group... A group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts are in their way towards us again,”the spirit manipulator answered while gasping for air.
"Perfect! Just when I thought things could not possibly get worse!" Commander Sun's face wasdrained of color in an instant. When he immediately raised his head to look out, he could see agroup of beasts running quickly towards them from the rear of the unit. 'Oh my God! They are reallyclose!’
"What the hell is going on?" Commander Sun complained. He was panicking and about to go crazy."Sir..." The deputy commander looked at Commander Sun with a deathly pale face.
"What are you doing here?! We have so few people that we can never beat so many beasts. Weshould retreat!" Commander Sun had no choice but to lead the troops to retreat. What a horriblething to do, especially in such terrible circumstances.
Among the group of beasts that was chasing the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky waslying on a one-toothed elephant, sticking one leg over the other. Rubygon and Rainbow GlowUnicorn, with Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf on its back, were close to him on both sides. The pioneer, Uriah,was leading the large group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts who were to chase the mobile unit ofthe Timber Deity Empire. Rocky's morale was boosted. Luckily for him, there wasn't a large numberof people in the mobile unit that tried to intercept their provisions and fodders, and it was not evena capable mobile unit. Therefore, Rocky thought he could give them a bluff.
This way, the small-scale mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire was constantly running, looking foran escape. However, wherever they went, they were chased by a group of spirit-manipulated beaststhat kept coming out of the blue.
When the mobile unit was on the verge of a breakdown, an imposing military of Crimson DragonArmy, like a ghost, appeared right in front of their eyes.
The leader of this military, Tod Cao, was no stranger to Rocky. He was the Frontline Commanderwho had once cooperated with Rocky to drive back the opponents during the Army Flag Contest inthe headquarters.
Tod was a relatively sophisticated commander among the Frontline Commanders. He hadexperienced many battles. After blocking the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire, he orderedthe five thousand troops under his command to besiege them. They struck the mobile unit like asharp edge.
The mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire was defeated in no time due to the small number ofpeople, low morale and the fatigue that they suffered after fleeing for so long a time. Many of themwere killed, while the rest, except a few who escaped successfully, were captured, includingCommander Sun.
Only about one hundred troops of the Crimson Dragon Army led by Tod were killed in the battle.Tod was surprised to beat the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire so easily because he had noidea that the mobile unit had already been exhausted by Rocky's pursuit along the way beforefighting the battle.
"Commander Cao," Rocky greeted Tod when he appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"Long time no see, Rocky!" Tod made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other as soon as hesaw Rocky. He admirably said, "The Deputy Commander in Chief, upon receiving your message,ordered me to come with five thousand troops of the Crimson Dragon Army to assist you as yourequired. But I didn't expect to destroy the mobile unit of the Timber Deity that easily. It's such arelief that we finally got rid of them. They had been making troubles for us in the rear area.Congratulations on your one more merit!"
"Please accept the merit as a gift. I did nothing but gave you a hand, anyway. Please tell the DeputyCommander in Chief that I will be very busy in the following period of time, so she'd better not lookfor me! Otherwise, I will make Commander Marin fulfill her promise to me instead.” As soon as hiswords faded away, Rocky faded with them. Tod was stunned by his sudden disappearance, andcould not realize what was going on.
Together with the troops, Tod sent about one thousand captures, including Commander Sun fromthe Timber Deity Empire, back to the main camp in the front line. As soon as they arrived, Tod wentto meet Isis to report the details of the battle and deliver Rocky's message.
"Hem! I'm afraid he thought too much. I won't look for him!" said Isis in an angry voice. However,her expressions and the surprised look she had reflected as if she felt wronged by the love of herlife.
Tod felt awkward after delivering Rocky's message and seeing Isis's reaction, so he excused himselfby bowing respectfully and leaving her tent.
Shortly after Tod had left, a guard walked into the tent saying, "Madam, somebody outside wants tosee you."
"Who is it?" Isis asked.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, long time no see!" said a tall and slim beautiful woman, with her headheld high, as she barged into the tent. She looked as arrogant as a queen, and gave out the aura ofa senior spirit manipulator.
The woman was Marcia's disciple, who had been dispatched by her master to protect Rocky. Itseemed that she was an old acquaintance of Isis.
As soon as Isis saw the woman, a glimmer of surprise flashed across her eyes. However, she did agreat job hiding it, and ordered the guard to leave.
The guard bowed respectfully to her and left right away.
"Why did you come here?" Isis asked while looking the woman in the eye. It seemed that she wasn'tvery happy to see her.
"I came to deal with something. By the way, I can see an old friend in you,” the woman answered ina soft voice.
"An old friend? I think it's more proper to refer to me as an old rival," Isis said coldly, as if she hadhad some conflict against the woman.
"Why are you still holding all this grudge? After all, it has really been a long while since ithappened,” the woman asked while rolling her arrogant eyes.
"No, I am not holding any grudge at all," Isis said despite the apparent grievance in her eyes thatwere fixated on the woman.
"You needn't try to deny it. Nobody knows you better than I do, given that we have been fightingagainst each other since our childhood!" The woman suddenly burst into a beautiful smile as if aniceberg had melted.
"Oh, and should I feel honored to be known well by the second daughter of the honorable Ji Clan?"Isis continued to speak in a sarcastic tone after giving a sneer.
"I'm no longer the second daughter of the Ji Clan. I'm not at all related to the Ji Clan,” said thewoman. She regained the cold tone as soon as she heard Isis mention the Ji Clan.
