CHAPTER 265 COME TO THE RESCUE OF THE BESIEGED

"How many are they? How could it be? Which military camp could send reinforcements so fast?"

astonished, the Timber Deity Empire's Commander said.

"Sir, they are not reinforcements. They are wild spirit-manipulated beasts. And they are rushing

towards this military camp," the spirit manipulator explained promptly.

Hearing that, the Timber Deity Empire's Commander looked at him with displeasure in his eyes, but at

the same time, he was relieved to get the report. He knew that once reinforcements to the northern sky

military camp came, their plan to capture this camp would become impossible.

Meanwhile, the troops of the northern sky military camp became dispirited on learning that no support

was arriving for them.

"Wait! You said that many wild spirit-manipulated beasts were charging towards us. How many,

exactly?" the Timber Deity Empire's Commander questioned closely, for he felt that something was

wrong.

"At least thirty," the spirit manipulator replied.

"Thirty, did you say?" The Timber Deity Empire's Commander was startled. He was aware that if thirty

wild spirit-manipulated beasts arrived there, the northern sky military camp would get the upper hand.

"Some of you, go in the direction from which they are coming and drive them away," the Timber Deity

Empire's Commander ordered his group of soldiers, after careful thought.

On hearing his command, a large contingent of troops rushed to the west of the military camp, to repel

the thirty spirit-manipulated beasts that were stampeding their way to the camp.

"Sorry to let you down!" the Timber Deity Empire's Commander sneered at the northern sky military

camp's members, and looked at them derisively.

Now that they had been vanquished, the northern sky military camp's soldiers had no choice but to lay

down their arms and surrender.

"You'd better surrender to me. At least, you will stay alive that way," the Timber Deity Empire's

Commander shouted in the northern sky military camp's direction. He did not want to waste his military

resources, nor lose his troops by prolonging the fight against the northern sky military camp.

"Sir, what should we do now?" one of the northern sky military camp's soldiers asked their Commander.

After that, all of them waited for his order.

However, the northern sky military camp's Commander was also dazed. Though he did not want to

throw down his weapons, he had realized that he could not salvage the situation. He knew that his

remaining soldiers and spirit manipulators were no match for the Timber Deity Empire's team, and

continuing to fight them would lead to nothing. He did not care for his life, but he could not sacrifice the

lives of his loyal soldiers and spirit manipulators who had stayed true to him, and followed him for so

many years.

While the northern sky military camp's Commander was vacillating, suddenly, the ground under their

feet shook violently. Taken aback and scared, unable to say anything, they looked at one another, Content held by .

helplessly.

Very soon, they saw dark shadows rushing from the west. When they could see beyond, they soon

understood that it was a large black dust cloud, and were shocked to behold a large number of spirit-

manipulated beasts, thundering in their direction. The soldiers and their Commander could see that

nothing could withstand their strength and speed. They would demolish everything, be it a large

structure or a tiny plant. Nothing and no one stood a chance against them. Therefore, it was no

surprise that they reduced all the buildings in the west to shambles, and continued their charge to the

northern sky military camp's center.

The spirit manipulators and over two hundred soldiers sent to pin down the wild spirit-manipulated

beasts had raced back, puzzled, and humiliated.

Seeing the scenario that was developing, the Timber Deity Empire's Commander became ghostly pale,

because that was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Sir, the wild spirit-manipulated beasts are going crazy. We cannot stop them!" one of the spirit

manipulators who just returned, reported.

Of course, they had no inkling that Uriah, under Rocky's command, was attracting the crazy wild spirit-

manipulated beasts to the northern sky military camp. Also, the three-star Dark Heaven Insect on the

third grade was among them.

"Is that a Dark Heaven Insect? Not just that, it is a three-star Dark Heaven Insect on the third grade."

When the Timber Deity Empire's soldiers noticed it, they got excited.

On seeing the unique creature, even their Commander's eyes lit up, for he had never expected that he

could encounter a rare three-star Dark Heaven Insect on the third grade. Moreover, the Dark Heaven

Eggs that it laid were at the premium level, as they made excellent treasures to cultivate the spirit

manipulators beyond the Heavenly Stage.

Nevertheless, the Timber Deity Empire's team encircled the northern sky military camp. They did not

dare to do anything that might jeopardize the Dark Heaven Insect. Therefore, deciding not to capture it,

all of them looked at it, as if longing to take its ownership.

As everyone was busy looking at the Dark Heaven Insect, no one noticed that a man and his spirit-

manipulated beast were at the heels of those wild spirit-manipulated beasts. As they did not want to

reveal themselves, they quickly found a secret place and hid there.

"The northern sky military camp seems to have suffered a desperate drubbing," Rocky muttered to

himself, after having observed the situation from where he hid. He could immediately see that the

Timber Deity Empire's army had besieged the northern sky military camp, and the military camp could

do nothing to push them back.

"Well, let me help them," Rocky said to himself, seeing the miserable situation the northern sky military

camp was in. He hesitated only for a second, focused his eyes in one direction, and whistled loudly.

Just then, Uriah, which was leading the wild spirit-manipulated beasts, turned back, and rushed into the

Timber Deity Empire's team, letting out a haunting howl. Besides, the magical saliva tied to Uriah

attracted the wild spirit-manipulated beasts, which had been following it.

The Timber Deity Empire's soldiers were stunned when they saw that the wild spirit-manipulated beasts

were threatening them, and running at a great speed toward them.

When the Timber Deity Empire's Commander saw that, he was so frustrated and angry that he turned

blue in the face. Here he was, struggling to decide between resistance and retreat, and the wild spirit-

manipulated beasts had attacked his team and scattered his soldiers, helter-skelter.

Annoyed by the soldiers' threats, the wild spirit-manipulated beasts attacked them, which resulted in

confusion and chaos. Because of that, the Timber Deity Empire's team that was already in disarray,

could not retain their hold on the northern sky military camp, which they had besieged some time ago.

The northern sky military camp was struck with amazement at the unexpected situation. Originally, they

had been driven into a corner. However, because wild spirit-manipulated beasts had suddenly

appeared, it became their chance to get out of trouble. Everything happened in such a sudden manner

that they had no idea about what was happening.

"What are you waiting for? This is your chance! Go!" a figure suddenly showed up beside the northern

sky military camp's Commander, and growled at him.

Hearing the angry order, he turned back and was dumbstruck. The man who had shouted just then

seemed familiar to him. Then, recognizing him, he remembered that he was the extraordinary breeder

who had made vigorous efforts to turn the tide on his own, at the Army Flag Contest.

The northern sky military camp's Commander also belonged to the Black Army, but he had suffered

defeat at the White Army's hands before the final battle. Therefore, he was deeply impressed by

Rocky's extraordinary performance.

"Has the northeast military camp sent you to support us?" He was confused because he saw that

Rocky had come there by himself.

"No, I was passing by, and I saw that the Timber Deity Empire's army had surrounded you. So, I broke

my journey, as I wanted to help you," Rocky said, with his hands across his chest. He spoke thus as he

did not want to reveal the real reason behind his stopping there. In reality, he wanted to utilize the

northern sky military camp and the Timber Deity Empire's armies to free the three-star Dark Heaven

Insect on the third grade from the annoying wild spirit-manipulated beasts that were going after it.
