Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 393 A New Trap

Marin fell silent as a lamb too. At the moment, the two girls had the same point of view. Both ofthem were of the impression that it was sufficient for the Crimson Dragon Group.

"By the way, why did Rocky come on the spur of the moment to carry out the Commander in Chief'sorder this time? After all, he turned down the Commander in Chief once in public. According to myperception of him, he would not have been accommodating to be associated in this trouble quicklylike a piece of cake, neither would he have given a whirl to the Commander in Chief's order.” Dunnuttered his bewilderment. Lack of confidence was written all over his rough face.

"I am of the same opinion too. In fact, I asked him why, but he didn't answer my query,” Marin said,blinking. She didn't understand how Rocky's brain functioned.

"We'd better ignore it. We could never establish a point of view of it correctly what Rocky Bai iscudgeling his brain.” Isis kicked up a fuss despite the same perplexity in her mind. She was curiouswhy Rocky came all of a sudden to carry out her father's order, and if there was anything she didn'thave intelligence. With such reflections in her mind, she asked Marin, "Did Rocky give a hint of whathe is going to do with those bonfires inside the pass? They look like a military display.”

Marin shook her head in a dash.

"Where is he now?" Isis looked around, but she could not trace Rocky anywhere.

"I'm positive he's resting on his oars somewhere," Marin answered as her drop-dead gorgeous faceturned murky.

"Commander Marin, I'm confident it's unfair to speak ill of other people when he is absent.” A voicecame through just in time. It sounded both joking and sincere at the same time.

By instinct, all the people present sought to the direction of the voice. They peered Rocky, who wasriding Rubygon, stop in front of them. Then he bounced onto the ground and arrayed his eyesaround everybody.

"Since you haven't done anything ill, you don't require to get overwrought about being spoken evilof by anybody,” Marin retorted, gazing at him with her big glaring eyes.

"Commander Marin, are you with no doubt I haven't done anything evil? Have you failed to recall..."Rocky was reluctant, staring at Marin with his evil and as elegant as a picture eyes.

Marin became absorbed in thought as shortly as her eyes met Rocky's burning eyes. What hadtaken place between her and Rocky in her room cropped up in her mind out of her control. Whenshe commemorated the kiss, she flushed red as a brick in a split of a second. Now she lookedsheepish and as lovely as a pie.

Isis and others, specifically the soldiers, were all shell shocked to see Marin fall silent and blush all ofa sudden. After all, she always had a glib tongue and acted undauntedly on the battlefield as an ironwoman. The soldiers had never seen her being shy in this way. They looked at one another inastonishment and wondered if there was some secret between Rocky and Marin. If yes, it would bebreaking news.

When she gave an ear to Rocky's odd words and saw Marin's weird expressions, Isis could not helpbut feel an absence of conviction. Previously she had already discovered that Marin would conductherself strangely every time Rocky was referred to, but she didn't put that in mind. However, nowshe was beyond suspicion that something must have happened between Marin and Rocky,distinguishing by Rocky's meaningful words. Therefore, she plotted to have a dialogue with Marinwhen the Wild Heaven Pass became out of harm's way.

While she was lost in thought, Rocky acquitted himself as if nothing had developed. He disengagedhis sight from Marin and laid his eyes on the pots and pans piled aside as well as some things elsethat could produce sounds. He strolled forward to pick up a few of them. When he knocked one onanother, a tumultuous sound came through in a flash.

"Wonderful! These props can absolutely be of assistance!" Rocky sighed. He could not help butgesture as if he was extremely well pleased with these articles. Then he turned around to say toDunn and Marin, "Commander Dunn and Commander Marin, each of you, please take half thetroops to make an ambush respectively at the two ends inside the pass. Every soldier takes one ortwo of such props. By the way, don't fail to carry some bows and arrows. When the enemies invadethe pass a while later, you should hold on for my order. When I give the order, first of all, you shootarrows for two rounds and then knock the props against each other as vehemently as you can.”Then he turned his head to glance at Isis. "Deputy Commander in Chief, please keep an eye on thesouth gate. The antagonists may conceivably make a quick exit towards the south entrance. Yourtask is to stand guard over the south gate, restraining them from getting out through that gate,”Rocky added. When he handed out the order, he looked just like a Commander in Chief.

In the Crimson Dragon Group, maybe only Rocky, beside Lance, had the audacity to order Isis in thisway.

"Okay," Isis stated directly. She guessed she should not interrogate him since she had resolved totrust him, though she had no notion what he was going to do.

"All right. Everybody, you may withdraw to implement your assignment now. It's getting dark. I'mcertain all the prevailing ten thousand troops of the Timber Deity Empire will come here. Veryshortly, we will be cognizant whether or not we can safeguard Wild Heaven Pass successfully!"Rocky suggested. His eyes were full of self-assurance.

Very soon, Marin and Dunn respectively took half the troops, simultaneously with the strange propsand bows and arrows, to go to the two ends of the Wild Heaven Pass. Since the pass had been builton the basis of a mountain between two cliffs, both ends of the pass were located at steep cliffs,where dense plants were available. They were perfect places for concealing people.

Isis guarded the south gate. She informed the soldiers to close the gate tightly, and she sat outsidethe gate, cooling her heels for things to untangle. Squinting slightly, she talked under one's breathto herself, "Rocky Bai, do not let me down. I beg of you!"

At the same time, the word that a considerable number of troops of the Crimson Dragon Armywithdrew from the south gate of the Wild Heaven Pass had already been reported by the scout ofthe Timber Deity Empire to their three Commanders. One of the three Commanders wasCommander Zhou, who had hitherto failed to engross the Rough Slope because of the interventionof Rocky.

This time, in order to attack the Wild Heaven Pass, the Timber Deity Empire had dispatched as manyas thirty thousand troops, which was undoubtedly a reasonable move. The forces were driven bythree Commanders who had the finest histories of service in the Timber Deity Empire.

First of all, the three Commanders took the upper hand of the knowledge provided by their spy inthe Crimson Dragon Army and attacked the Wild Heaven Pass at night under the nose of twentythousand troops of the Crimson Dragon Army at the pass. As a result, the Crimson Dragon Armyencountered significant losses, and the soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire took a grip of moreadvantages.

After the successful charge at night, the three Commanders had a sneaking suspicion that theywould be in a position to occupy the Wild Heaven Pass in no time. To their thunderbolt, however,the defending troops at the Wild Heaven Pass were also led by an experienced and sophisticatedElite Commander from the Crimson Dragon Group. Due to his excellent tactics, the guarding forceshad managed to thrust out all the troops of the Timber Deity Empire that assaulted them at night.At least the Crimson Dragon Army still held the Wild Heaven Pass in their hand despite theastronomical price they paid.

It was precise because of their hard work that Isis had had the time to take troops here to lend ahand to them. She had safeguarded the Wild Heaven Pass in place of Commander Cheng till now.Since she showed up at the Wild Heaven Pass, Isis had established an assortment of military arrays.As a result, the troops of the Timber Deity Empire had a turbulent time, without making any leapforward. Ill at ease, the three Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire had beaten their brains outto drive the Crimson Dragon Army to the wall. But of course, the Timber Deity Empire paid amassive price for that too. Almost twenty thousand troops were lost.

Therefore, the three Commanders came into a compromise that they had to seize the Wild HeavenPass in the following round of attack. Otherwise, even if they could conquer it subsequently, theywould not have adequate force to secure it.

Such being the case, a substantial number of troops of the Crimson Dragon Army withdrawing fromthe Wild Heaven Pass was beyond the shadow of a doubt good news for the three Commanders.They considered that the Crimson Dragon Army could no longer defend the Wild Heaven Pass andwas proposing to give it up.

Of course, they had no notion that the withdrawal was, in fact, an elaborate trap.
