CHAPTER 233 NEW DECISION

The commander in yellow strutted around like a proud rooster. "Stomachache? Did he run away

already? I can't blame him if he is afraid. He is outnumbered after all." He stood with his chin up, as if

he had already won. "Show yourself! Who leads these fools against my mighty army?" He thundered

as his eyes searched the battlefield for the enemy leader.

One of the few remaining soldiers finally looked up at him. "Our commander is very different from who

you people expect him to be." The solider answered in defiance, flinching when the commander in

yellow turned his cruel eyes to him.

"Are you talking about the breeder? Commander Zhao was defeated so easily by that lowlife?" the

commander asked the soldier while clutching his jaw tightly in a bruising grip. The soldier struggled

against him but could not even move, let alone speak. He could only nod furiously in the hope that the

commander in yellow would loosen his hand. After getting the answer that he needed, the commander

turned to Flank. His smiled brighter than his yellow clothes, enjoyment obvious on his face. He laughed

smugly at Flank, and amused at the sight of Flank as he struggled against his bindings.

Flank knew he should be angry. In a different situation, he would never tolerate this much disrespect.

But at that moment, all he felt was terror and frustration in the face of the commander in yellow's

ignorance. He struggled harder against the bindings and gag in his mouth. He fought to speak not even

registering the awful taste of dirty rags in his mouth in his anxiety. He needed to warn him about Rocky!

The commander in yellow raised an eyebrow when he noticed Flank's struggle. He thought Flank did

not want to accept his own failure, and was bitter that someone else would instead reap the harvest of

success. His smug smile widened at the thought.

"Oh, Commander Zhao, you'll be the joke of the town when people find out that you were defeated by a

breeder. But don't worry, this will be our little secret!" the commander in yellow laughed loudly. He

sauntered in front of the soldiers and took his time to approach Flank. He came to a stop in front of

Flank and tore the filthy rag from his mouth.

"This is a trap, you fool!" Flank exclaimed immediately. His hands were still bound but his eyes burned

with hatred and frustration towards the commander in yellow.

"No need to be like that, Commander Zhao. I can see the envy in your eyes. You hate that I have so

many flags, don't you?" the commander in yellow said arrogantly. Flank snarled at him hatefully in

response.

"Commander Zhao does look uncomfortable right now. Maybe he'd like some company to join him

soon?" A voice suddenly called from behind.

The commander whirled around, his yellow clothes unfurled around him. His eyes wide and mouth

agape, he stared at Rocky in surprise. 'How did he sneak up on me?'

"You are finally back here. Unfortunately, most of your troops have ran away. Do you think you can

defeat us on your own?" the commander in the yellow clothes said scornfully when he recovered. He

puffed his chest in bravado and tried to hide his surprise.

Behind him, Flank sneered and rejoiced inside. He knew that very soon, the commander in yellow

would end up on his knees like him. He would be sorry for him if he had not been such an arrogant jerk

earlier.

"Your troops have already gone," the commander continued foolishly. His tone suddenly softened as if

in kindness. "I can be merciful. Surrender three flags now and I'll let you go. If you are wise, you would

choose to surrender now and live, rather than lose and die miserable."

"No. I will take your flags. Commander Zhao's two flags are mine, and I will have yours as well," Rocky

replied confidently.

The commander narrowed his eyes at Rocky. 'How could this fool be so confident? Does he not realize

he is at my mercy?' He was taken from his thoughts when a loud rumble, like thunder sounded from the

west. He stood in disbelief as he saw two hundred Black Army soldiers attacking his soldiers on the

west side.

"What are you waiting for? You should go and help them before it's too late." Rocky smirked at him like

a cat that caught the canary. The commander's expression changed from disdain to panic. He was

frantic as he ordered the troops from the east and south to support the soldiers in the west.

However, as soon as these two troops rushed towards the west, everything descended into chaos. The

commander watched horrified as his soldiers fell into myriad traps. Their screams of pain and terror

sounded loud in his ears.

He squeezed his unsteady hands as he saw the Black Army soldiers, who had fled previously,

suddenly reappeared. They had thrown their helmets and armor in their flight earlier. But now, they

resembled monsters as they fought without weapons. They picked up soldiers who had been caught in

traps. Then they took advantage of the chaos too and rushed to the other soldiers who were distracted

in their confusion.

Tides were turned as the soldiers on the east and south roads suffered heavy losses and could not

fight back. At the same time, the soldiers on the west road were overwhelmed by the surprise attack.

The whole army of the commander in yellow was almost completely annihilated.

Before long, those soldiers completely collapsed and chose to survive surrendered.

"This is impossible! How could this happen?" The commander in the yellow clothes fell on his knees, as

he realized that his army had been defeated by Rocky's. Everything happened so fast that he did not

have time to react. He stared at the carnage in shock, helpless.

"Now you understand! I was just the bait and you're the idiot who thought you would be able to take

advantage," Flank spat at the commander. He could not hide the glee in his face as he was proven

right.

The commander's face dimmed in regret as he recognized the truth in Flank's words.

"You don't have a reason to laugh at Commander Zhao anymore. Soon, you will be prison buddies,"

Rocky sneered at the two. They had been so distracted by each other that they had not even heard his

approach.

The commander in yellow gritted his teeth when he realized how the situation had changed. He

clenched his fist tightly but did not make a sound.

"Any one of you, take this commander and Commander Zhao to rest. Make sure to guard them

securely," Rocky ordered. Immediately, some soldiers came and escorted Flank and the commander in

yellow clothes away. Rocky stared at them, already deep in thought. In order for his plan to succeed,

Rocky could not let the White Army know that they have lost two troops.

'Now there are only four White Army troops and three Black Army troops, ' he thought to himself. 'But

the other two Black Army troops besides my own are locked in hard battle right now. No one knows if

they will come out in victory or defeat.' Although he defeated two White Army troops at once, the

situation was still not favorable for the Black Army. The sheer number of the White Army troops made

sure that they were still at the top. 'For now, ' he assured himself. He decided that he would no longer

repeat the same trick. Otherwise, his strategy would easily be found out by the White Army.

However, Rocky knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot. He needed to take down at least one

more White Army troop before the White Army noticed. So, he sent a few soldiers to spy and gather

information and put the others on standby. holds text © rights.

At the same time, those at the grandstand reeled in disbelief. The White Army had been dominating the

battle with their armies previously but now had suddenly lost two troops. They were confused about

what had happened.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, where do you think the two White Army troops went?" an Elite

Commander asked.

"Maybe they're laying an ambush for another team," Isis offered but her guess was as good as any of

theirs. They had all been huddled in the platform as they awaited news from the battle.

Right on time, the spirit manipulator who was responsible for conveying the situation on the battlefield

appeared on the viewing platform. "Two troops in the White Army have lost the battle and returned."

"Two troops of White Army were defeated?" Isis said in amazement. She could not fathom how this

happened.

Noise and chaos broke out after the spirit manipulator's announcement. 'How did the Black Army who

were at a disadvantage, manage to defeat two White Army troops without anyone knowing it?'

"There are only three Black Army troops left. One of them is being attacked by three White Army

troops. The other one is being attacked by one White Army troop. The last one has not moved from

their last position," Isis speculated. "Which Black Army troop is so powerful that it could destroy two

White Army troops right under our noses?" she continued, her face marred by a frown. Even if she was

proficient in the art of war, this situation had caught them completely off guard.

Isis had no idea that the troop they thought had stayed in their original place had actually advanced

secretly by an unknown path. They had waited for the White Army troops to come into their trap. What

Isis also did not expect was that two White Army troops had already thrown themselves into the trap

and lost four flags to this Black Army troop.

And no one would even suspect or imagine that this troop was under Rocky's command.

However, the situation on the battlefield had once again changed. A black unit was unable to withstand

the attacks of three White Army troops and was finally defeated.

Now the Black Army was left with Rocky and the troop led by Commander Cao. The troop led by

Commander Cao were locked in battle against a troop of the White Army. Despite Rocky's victory, the

situation of the Black Army was still extremely grim.

However, the victory was based on the total number of flags owned by the two sides. Although there

were still four White Army troops left in the battle, the number of flags that the two sides had were the

same now. This was because Rocky already had five flags alone. And if they added the flag which was

possessed by Commander Cao, the Black Army had a total of six flags which was the same as the

White Army.

This situation weighed heavily on Rocky. His next decisions could very well lead them to a great victory,

or tragic defeat.
