CHAPTER 279 A MIRACLE
Timber deity troops encountered a terrible defeat. This was after they instituted a sudden attack on
northern sky military camp. One timber spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage and almost ten spirit
manipulators of the Earthly Stage had lost their lives. They had hidden the battle and had to retrieve
and head back without stopping.
Alyssa had plotted the raid. All the rage came out faster than a magma. It was because the failure
would ruin all her later plans. Her fear tortured her guts, churning her intense stomach cramps. Her
plan would be breached, and this would signal her enemies. They would plan themselves and be one
stride ahead of her. Her arrangements in launching an ambush on them became hard to implement.
"The raid was highly confidential, and they were in the darkness about this attack. Can someone
explain why you failed it? Despite only a thousand persons taking part in the attack, all of them were
considered being the pick of the litter amongst their peers having the rigorous ranking. They were
equivalent to the force of that small military camp of Crimson Dragon Group in combat ability. Your sole
mission was to take advantage of their weakest state and attack them. But that seemed to be an uphill
task to you. Such a waste!" Alyssa's temper was on a hair-trigger. She yelled, saliva spitting out with
each jiggered word. Her trace of the Divine Stage looked brighter and shattered the table in front of her.
She was staring at the Commander in charge of the raid with an icy hostility look. It was as if her brain
had suffered a massive short circuit and was struggling to compute. Their defeat was unimaginable to
her.
She had allotted herself to making this strategy work out. She required a proper-established approach
to carry out her mission. Having consumed all that time, it was well prepared and was a careful plan.
She was sure and knew beyond a reasonable doubt they would crack down the northern sky military
camp. This would be a magnificent start for a battle. Now her plans blew up in her face. They didn't
finish up the way she had planned, and even the best plans went astray. She was angrier because one
timber spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage and ten spirit manipulators of the Earthly Stage were
dead during the raid. This was known to everyone how precious timber spirit manipulators were. The
raid should have been absolutely safe. No wonder she was so angry.
Commanders in the camp looked at each other in speechless despair. Since Alyssa was furious, the
one who talked first would be blamed.
"I am liable for everything. Princess Alyssa, please let me face the music!" Kneeling on one knee, the
Commander in charge of the invasion knew that no remarks would ease the resentment or soothe
Alyssa.
"Punishment? I want to end your life..." Alyssa stared at him.
Hearing this, all of the Commanders in the camp were worried about him.
"Nothing could be amended even if I end your life. We shall review our next plan in the long run!"
Alyssa stared at him coldly. He was a timber spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage and beheading
him would be such a pity. If he was an ordinary individual, she would have executed him.
"Princess Alyssa, we alerted Crimson Dragon Group this time. I think they will act..." one Commander
spoke.
"We lose this time and Crimson Dragon Group will get ready. If Holy Dragon Empire declares war
against us, that's not the end. We still have Plan B," Alyssa said with a leery glance.
"Princess Alyssa, you have a second Plan?" No one had the slightest idea that Allyssa had a second
plan. They all looked startled.
"Of course. If Holy Dragon Empire takes the hatchet, then everything will be under my control again,"
Alyssa sneered.
"Princess Alyssa is a resourceful strategist. We are so impressed!"
"Your highness is a once-in-a-lifetime military genius in Timber Deity Empire!"
"No wonder our King evaluates your highness very much and hands over the mission to subdue Holy
Dragon Empire to your highness..."
All Commanders started to shower praises to Princess Alyssa.
Alyssa glanced at them coldly and asked, "Are those two envoys from Roaring Flame Empire found?
Do the squad of spirit manipulators who went to look for tributes come back?"
"Not yet, Your Highness!" one commander replied.
Alyssa became gloomy again. The tributes were lost and then the raid failed. Trouble never came
singly. God must play trick. But she believed man could conquer nature. So this small failure couldn't
hamper her astonishing plan.
There was no way that Alyssa could know that the tributes had been picked up by someone else and
the man who had gotten the tributes was the one who had made her raid fail. That's Rocky!
However, in the northeast military camp, Rocky spared his time to learn Beast Curing Skill from
Sheridan in the beast farm, while he studied the Dark Heaven Insect Queen.
Rocky just reached the beast farm and found that spirit manipulators of the northeast military camp Content held by .
were enclosing Sheridan. Everyone was over the moon.
Sheridan in between was a little impatient. Once he saw Rocky, he squeezed carefully, trying to find a
way through the crowd and came to Rocky and said, "Youngster, you finally show up. They were doing
my head in!"
"What's going on?" Sheridan was about to tell, but he was cut short. The crowd surrounded Rocky in a
flash.
"Rocky, my spirit-manipulated beast got injured in its foot. Could you please treat it?"
"First come first served. I came first. So please come to check my beast first. It suffers severe diarrhea
and doesn't become better after taking the medicines!"
"My beast..."
The crowd gabbled.
Rocky stared at Sheridan, his eyes resting not unblinking but slowed while wondering, 'Why did they
request me to check out their beasts? That shall be Sheridan's work!'
"None of my business," Sheridan said like an innocent lamb.
The truth was, the news that Rocky saved Verdanim spread like wildfire in the northeast military camp.
He became the most popular man, and there were loads of stories about him. It was perceived that he
was an outstanding surgeon.
Verdanim was taking its last breath, but he saved it. For spirit manipulators in the northeast military
camp this was a piece of pleasant news. Spirit-manipulated beasts were vulnerable. Their manipulators
might have to discard them once they were injured and couldn't be cured.
If it was a one-star spirit-manipulated beast, its manipulator would desert it without compassion. For
two-star one, its manipulator would falter to discard it, since it was not a walk in the park getting one.
Therefore, everyone in the camp regarded Rocky, the savior with special respect and considered him
as a miracle.
