CHAPTER 232 CAPTURE

"Come on! What are you all waiting for? Tie up Commander Zhao this instant! We finally have this guy,"

Rocky ordered.

Many soldiers cheered excitedly and surrounded Flank at once.

"How dare you!" Flank yelled furiously. How bold of Rocky to insult him like this! He never thought that

a bunch of soldiers would tie him down. Anger seeped through his body, and his emotions were now

out of hand as he activated his spiritual power instantly.

The soldiers were caught off guard as they witnessed the scene. They soon came to a realization that

no one among them could be compared to Flank who was at the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage.

"Commander Zhao, no one is allowed to use the spiritual power. Have you forgotten about the

guidelines of this competition?" Rocky nonchalantly said. His arms folded in front of his chest as he

looked straight into Flank's glaring eyes.

Like he was splashed with cold water, Flank froze on his spot and withdrew his spiritual power at once.

Speechless, all he could do was stare and curse Rocky in his mind. He went from an aggressive tiger

to a paper one within seconds.

"Tie him up!" Rocky demanded.

Flank was known as an arrogant commander who always looked down on everyone below his rank.

Without any hint of regret, some bold soldiers charged towards him. After all, when else could they

have another chance like this? An opportunity to treat their commander as a captive was hard to come

by. The soldiers started to bind him from head to toe. They made a knot to secure the rope and pulled

to tighten it. Flank stifled a groan after every pull as it scratched his skin. The soldiers continued with a

satisfied grin plastered on their faces.

"Damn it! Let me go before you regret this! You are nothing but a feeder of the northeast military camp.

How dare you do this to me! You fucking..." Flank yelled angrily at Rocky.

"Calm down, Commander Zhao! It's just a contest, and I'm here not because I want to but I'm here on

behalf of Commander Marin. What I'm trying to say is, I actually have the privilege of a commander in

this game. You may think that I'm just fooling around but I need to win and bring honor to our northeast

military camp and I apologize." Flank sneered upon hearing Rocky's words. "Guys, put a gag in his

mouth!" Rocky ordered. A soldier immediately took a piece of rag and shoved it into Flank's mouth.

Soon after, Rocky gave money to the two hundred betrayed soldiers and asked them to leave the

training field. The soldiers needed not to be told twice. They just took the money and left the place.

Rocky took over the army flags from Flank. The former now had three flags but this wasn't enough for

the Black Army to turn the tables. To make matters worse, the other two black units were still in danger

of being eliminated. Rocky had to shoulder the biggest responsibility if the Black Army wanted to win

this game so bad.

"Now that we have Flank as our bait, I believe the units on the other side will take the bait sooner or

later," Rocky murmured to himself.

He soon took his unit with the three army flags to another spot.

At the same time, there were two white units worked together against a black one in a complex valley.

"Commander Cao is good! I can't believe that he insists until now," said the commander in yellow, who

led one of the white units.

The two commanders of the White Army tried to take down the black unit that Commander Cao was in

charge of. It wouldn't be easy as Commander Cao's black unit had occupied the most defensive spot in

the Black Army. The spot was easy to defend but difficult for enemies to penetrate. Even if the two units

had formed an ally to attack them, no one could guarantee their success.

"Commander Cao is the most experienced among all the frontline commanders and he knows more

about military tactics. Now that the Black Army is at a disadvantage, he has no other choice but to

defend his own army flag," answered the commander in blue who stood next to the commander in

yellow.

"But he has reached his limit already. Another hour, tops!" said the commander in yellow confidently.

"Since you have acquired one flag from the Black Army, Commander Cao's flag should be mine then,"

the commander in blue said cunningly.

"Yeah! Of course! We are friends after all," the commander in yellow answered with a smile that didn't

reach her eyes. After careful thought, he decided to fight without mercy. He would do everything just to

get the flag for himself.

All of a sudden, a soldier in White Army's uniform who seemed seriously injured appeared right in front

of the two commanders.

"Sirs! Commander Zhao is now leading to a huge loss after getting hit by a sneak attack. Our unit is

working hard to break out the encirclement. We need your support now!" the injured soldier said

towards the two commanders.

They were dumbstruck upon hearing the unexpected news. Neither of them had thought that Flank's

unit would be hit by a surprise attack.

"Commander Zhao has two army flags. If the Black Army gets both, then we will face a huge threat,"

said the commander in blue, his eyes squinting.

"Well, you take charge in here. I will take my unit to support Commander Zhao," the commander in

yellow said nervously. He soon ordered his soldiers to gather up and led them to support Flank with the

injured soldier.

Of course, he had different intention. What the commander in yellow wanted was not support. He only

planned to watch Flank fighting hard against the Black Army. Both sides would definitely bear huge loss

afterwards. His real objective was to get the army flags once Flank and the black team were all

exhausted.

After a while, the commander in yellow followed the injured soldier and went into a lush forest. Soon

after, he saw two to three hundred black soldiers around Flank who had been tied up with a piece of

rag in his mouth. It didn't take a genius to figure that Flank's unit had been defeated.

The commander in yellow gestured for his unit to stand by as he thought of ways on how to launch a

surprise attack that could take down this black unit. The three army flags waved in the air as they

caught the commander in yellow's attention. He couldn't help but think of the possibility that he

managed to succeed and get all the three flags. If he obtained these flags, the champion of this Army

Flag Contest would definitely be him.

Having thought of such chance lit up his eyes with excitement. The commander in yellow then asked Content held by .

the injured soldier prudently, "Who aimed the sneak attack at Commander Zhao? Look at Commander

Zhao! Look how miserable he is right now!"

"I have no idea. When Commander Zhao chased after the black unit. Out of nowhere, he was hit by a

surprise attack. Commander Zhao asked me to find a white unit for support then," the injured soldier

answered as he shook his head.

"That's weird. Currently, only three black units are left. Except the one being led by Commander Cao,

neither of the other two is as strong as Commander Zhao's unit. How on earth could they get him into

the trap?" the commander in yellow questioned.

"Commander Zhao is always so arrogant because of his past honor. I guess he underestimated the

black unit, which led to his captivity. The black unit seemed to bear a huge loss. We can divide into

three squads and surround them from three directions. That's enough to take down the black unit then,"

murmured the commander in yellow.

He divided his men into three squads and ordered them to stand and face three directions. When the

commander in yellow gave out a sign, his three squads encircled those enemies from the east, south

and west.

Upon seeing the forceful encirclement, the black soldiers were frightened to the core. They threw away

their weapons and armors, and then fled away from the scene. But not everyone managed to escape.

Few dozen soldiers were too scared to move, so they chose to raise their hands to surrender.

The commander in yellow decided to not go after those black soldiers who fled. After all, this was a

friendly competition and not a war.

"Where is your commander?" asked the commander in yellow, after he strode towards the remaining

black soldiers.

"Our commander said he had a stomachache and went to relieve himself," a black soldier answered

with a scared look.
