Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 465 So Terrific

Congruently, the critical responsibility of leading the army had fallen into the hands of Isis, due toRocky's absence. Rocky had sneaked away despite being of utmost importance for the army. Sincehe was the one who had led the Crimson Dragon Army to recapture the Hippo Land, his army wasin dire need of him.

That night, Isis left a garrison of less than a thousand soldiers to guard the Hippo Land. She led theremaining seven thousand soldiers for the Dead Silence Mount. Her plan was to attack the DeadSilence Mount before the garrison at this strong point transported the grain and supplies to thearmy of the Timber Deity Empire.

This strategy adopted was as quoted by Rocky from the Art of Wars, 'Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao."The idea here was to avoid a head on battle with a strong enemy, and instead to strike hard at itsweakness.

Isis had led the army to the pitch camps quite extraordinarily. She made her arrival at the DeadSilence Mount two days later. The design of the deployment and arrays were to launch the attackwith high momentum.

The garrison of the Timber Deity Empire at the Dead Silence Mount constituted less than fivethousand soldiers. They were in a sudden panic as the Crimson Dragon Army advanced into the citygate. They dispatched an emergency report addressing the main force of the Timber Deity Empire,who were at the Nine Grottoes expecting the reinforcement of grain and supplies for them.

Shortly afterwards, Alyssa, who was the leader of the main force of the Timber Deity Empire, incharge of conquering the Nine Grottoes, received the information from the Dead Silence Mount.

At that moment, Alyssa was pondering for a counter strategy at the campsite of the main force ofthe Timber Deity Empire in the Nine Grottoes. She was inside the camp of Commander in Chief andbeside her, was seated a young handsome man in another chair.

Rocky would have gotten surprised if he saw this handsome young man seated beside Alyssa. Thisyoung man was none other than Woods, who led the garrison of the Timber Deity Empire thatwithdrew from the Hippo Land recently.

"Alyssa, I can't believe that you too are getting trapped in a conundrum.” Frowning upon thequagmire, Woods looked at Alyssa and let out a sonorous laugh like a childish on-looker.

"I would have attacked the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army by now if you didn't haveabandoned the Hippo Land. It was all your fault,” Alyssa glared at Woods. The loss of the HippoLand had already put her into an impasse. Yet, the Crimson Dragon Army attacked the Dead SilenceMount in an attempt to sever the supplies as they accurately predicted that the main force of theTimber Deity Empire were in need of the grain and supplies. The Dead Silence Mount was the onlystrong point where they could expect the reinforcement of grain and other supplies. It wouldseriously constrain the main force of the Timber Deity Empire once the Dead Silence Mount fell intothe hands of the Crimson Dragon Army.

Unless the grain and other supplies were reinforced, the main force of the Timber Deity Empirecould never advance to attack the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army at the frontline.

"You can't blame me for that. What else could I have done since they were powerful enough tobreak through your invincible Magic Lotus Array? All I could have done under the situation was tolead the army for a safe retreat." Woods shrugged his shoulders as he replied light-heartedly.

"Did you say that it was a young man of a surname as Bai who broke through my Magic LotusArray?" Alyssa heard from Woods in detail about the losses they encountered at the Hippo Land.What surprised her most was the fact that her Magic Lotus Array was broken through by someone.Ever since she had created the Magic Lotus Array, this was something that had never happenedbefore. The array was successful in defeating the Crimson Dragon Army many times before.However, the Magic Lotus Array was actually broken through by someone from the Crimson DragonArmy in the battle of the Hippo Land. That was something really hard for her to believe.

On top of that, she was really confused as to why such a figure did not appear before. He seemed topop up from nowhere just to break through her Magic Lotus Array and recapture the Hippo Landfor the Crimson Dragon Army.

However, what had worried her the most was the identity of the young man who led the CrimsonDragon Army to break through her Magic Lotus Array. He also had a surname as Bai.

Alyssa acquired the information from her spy about the young man who helped the CrimsonDragon Army relieve the besiegement of the Rough Slope. He had a surname as Bai, but accordingto the information received, he was not a Commander of the Crimson Dragon Group.

She received the intelligence once again from the spy after the battle of the Wild Heaven Pass. Theyoung man who maneuvered the strategy of Empty Fort to frighten Commander Zhou and forcehim to retreat from the fort also had a surname as Bai. It seemed as the same person as the oneCommander Zhou had met at the Rough Slope.

Now, the young man who recaptured the Hippo Land and broke through her Magic Lotus Array wasalso a Commander of the surname as Bai. Though she didn't want to admit, it was getting clear thatthe young man was likely the same one who messed up her plans twice before.

Although Alyssa had previously collected some information about the young man, she was not ableto figure out neither his identity nor his background. It was as if this man existed in this worldindependently and was not willing to get tied to anything else. It seemed he belonged to a smallmilitary camp in the Crimson Dragon Group before and somehow unknowingly gained the attentionof Lance. Lance had complimented this young man on several previous occasions. In addition, sheheard that the young man was also a disciple of Sheridan.

So it wasn't a surprise for Alyssa getting really curious about this young man of a surname as Bai.She wondered what kind of a superhuman he would be, given the fact that he wrecked up many ofher plans before and now he could even break though her invincible Magic Lotus Array!

"It is often said that clever people may be victims of their cleverness. Alyssa, you might be so overlyanxious to win the battle yourself that it was used as a loophole by the Crimson Dragon Army,"Woods commented calmly.

"I thought it was a sure card to send you guarding the Hippo Land. How in the world would I knowthat?" Alyssa also had a realization that she too had misjudged the situation this time. The mainforce of twenty thousand soldiers were in the phase of encountering a conundrum of theexhaustion of grains and other supplies after the fall of the Hippo Land.

It was her plan to collect grains and other supplies from the Dead Silence Mount and transport it tothe campsite of the main force of the Timber Deity Empire after their loss of the Hippo Land. It hadtaken some time for the collection and preparation of the grains and other supplies. But now, at thiscritical moment, the Crimson Dragon Army had foreseen her plan and launched an attack to theDead Silence Mount. This was a move which had hit hard at where it would hurt the most.

"I was also surprised... I had defeated the Crimson Dragon Army thrice before, but I never expectedto encounter such a powerful rival in the fourth battle,” Woods forced a bitter smile as he shook hishead. But the respect he had for his rival was clearly evident on his face.

"You seemed to think very highly of your rival, didn't you?" Alyssa knew Woods very well. So, it wasnot difficult for her to discern the admiration hidden in his smile.

"To be honest, I really admire him and I do believe you would feel the same if you had a chance tosee him. That was certainly why I was defeated by him. Alyssa, do you know that his maneuver ofthe art of war was extremely difficult to predict than your own strategies? Nobody would havethought in their wildest thoughts about him coming up with such a brilliant strategy to kill two birdswith one stone. He managed to burn the boats in charge of the transshipment of the grains andother supplies to the main force and then simultaneously used it to attract the attention of thegarrison of the Timber Deity Empire. He subsequently took advantage in breaking through the lineof the garrison as they got distracted by the incident of the burning of the boats. The garrison gotcompletely fooled by him and was not able to offer a fight back...” Woods explained the facts of thematter.

"Is he really that phenomenal?" Alyssa's pretty face revealed her curiosity to the man while her eyesstaring calmly at Woods.

"Otherwise, was it ever possible for me to get defeated... The only one who has won my admirationon the manipulation of the art of war in this entire Timber Deity Empire is you, Alyssa. The guydefeated me and on top of that, destroyed your array. I would say he was incredibly awesome,”Woods admitted frankly.

"Alyssa... Alyssa... When can you call me sister again? You would always call me sister when you werea little boy..." Alyssa gave a sudden complaint.

"I am a prince who does not have regards and attention of the royal family. As the proverb goes,“Every dog has its day, ' I guess I haven't had my chance just yet. I think it will be better for me toremain tight lipped about the fact that you are my sister. I don't want others to perceive me as aloser who has to rely on my sister's protection and support to achieve something," Woods answeredwith a smile.

Woods was actually the prince of the Timber Deity Empire! Also, the younger brother of Alyssa!

Yet, Woods, though was the prince, was rather unknown in comparison to his talented sister Alyssa,who on the contrary, was well known to every single family in the country. One of the main reasonsfor his disadvantage was that Woods was crippled. He was born with unhealthy and defectivemeridians and vessels making him disqualified to become a spirit manipulator.
