CHAPTER 375 A COLD TONE

Seeing that they were no longer in danger after retreating for several hours, Commander Sun from the

Timber Deity Empire ordered everybody to have a rest on the spot. It was apparent that he was still

upset. As per Alyssa's order, he had slipped into the rear area of the Crimson Dragon Army with a

small scale mobile unit in order to intercept the supply of provisions and fodders of the Crimson Dragon

Army. However, he hadn't successfully intercepted any provisions and fodders till now. What made him

extra annoyed, though, was that the transportation team of the Crimson Dragon Army had disappeared

under his nose for several times. This issue was not acceptable because there weren't many people in

the transportation team, so his mobile unit should have been enough to deal with them.

The situation was truly horrible because even when things started to get better, something weird

happened. When Commander Sun finally figured out the route that the transportation team had taken,

he and the mobile unit were attacked by a group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts that seemed to

appear out of the blue. As a result, they had not only failed to intercept the provisions and fodders

transported by the Crimson Dragon Army, but also lost their own provisions and fodders. All of their

provisions and fodders had been burned when they began retreating. Maybe they could not hold up for

even one day.

"Sir, what should we do next?" the deputy commander asked.

"What else can we do when we don't even have enough people to deal with a group of wild beasts? Of

course we should retreat to our own territory as soon as possible. I'm already tired of staying at this

desolate place," Commander Sun answered in a discontented tone while spitting out a lot of curses.

"Commander, bad news, bad news!" a spirit manipulator shouted while running here quickly from the

rear of the unit. Panic was all over his face.

"Oh, dear God! What else happened?" Commander Sun asked, staring at the spirit manipulator with

attentive eyes.

"Oh, well... A group... A group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts are in their way towards us again," the

spirit manipulator answered while gasping for air.

"Perfect! Just when I thought things could not possibly get worse!" Commander Sun's face was drained

of color in an instant. When he immediately raised his head to look out, he could see a group of beasts

running quickly towards them from the rear of the unit. 'Oh my God! They are really close!'

"What the hell is going on?" Commander Sun complained. He was panicking and about to go crazy.

"Sir..." The deputy commander looked at Commander Sun with a deathly pale face.

"What are you doing here?! We have so few people that we can never beat so many beasts. We

should retreat!" Commander Sun had no choice but to lead the troops to retreat. What a horrible thing

to do, especially in such terrible circumstances.

Among the group of beasts that was chasing the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky was

lying on a one-toothed elephant, sticking one leg over the other. Rubygon and Rainbow Glow Unicorn,

with Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf on its back, were close to him on both sides. The pioneer, Uriah, was leading

the large group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts who were to chase the mobile unit of the Timber Deity

Empire. Rocky's morale was boosted. Luckily for him, there wasn't a large number of people in the

mobile unit that tried to intercept their provisions and fodders, and it was not even a capable mobile

unit. Therefore, Rocky thought he could give them a bluff.

This way, the small-scale mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire was constantly running, looking for an

escape. However, wherever they went, they were chased by a group of spirit-manipulated beasts that

kept coming out of the blue.

When the mobile unit was on the verge of a breakdown, an imposing military of Crimson Dragon Army,

like a ghost, appeared right in front of their eyes.

The leader of this military, Tod Cao, was no stranger to Rocky. He was the Frontline Commander who

had once cooperated with Rocky to drive back the opponents during the Army Flag Contest in the

headquarters.

Tod was a relatively sophisticated commander among the Frontline Commanders. He had experienced

many battles. After blocking the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire, he ordered the five thousand

troops under his command to besiege them. They struck the mobile unit like a sharp edge.

The mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire was defeated in no time due to the small number of people, holds text © rights.

low morale and the fatigue that they suffered after fleeing for so long a time. Many of them were killed,

while the rest, except a few who escaped successfully, were captured, including Commander Sun.

Only about one hundred troops of the Crimson Dragon Army led by Tod were killed in the battle.

Tod was surprised to beat the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire so easily because he had no idea

that the mobile unit had already been exhausted by Rocky's pursuit along the way before fighting the

battle.

"Commander Cao," Rocky greeted Tod when he appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"Long time no see, Rocky!" Tod made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other as soon as he

saw Rocky. He admirably said, "The Deputy Commander in Chief, upon receiving your message,

ordered me to come with five thousand troops of the Crimson Dragon Army to assist you as you

required. But I didn't expect to destroy the mobile unit of the Timber Deity that easily. It's such a relief

that we finally got rid of them. They had been making troubles for us in the rear area. Congratulations

on your one more merit!"

"Please accept the merit as a gift. I did nothing but gave you a hand, anyway. Please tell the Deputy

Commander in Chief that I will be very busy in the following period of time, so she'd better not look for

me! Otherwise, I will make Commander Marin fulfill her promise to me instead." As soon as his words

faded away, Rocky faded with them. Tod was stunned by his sudden disappearance, and could not

realize what was going on.

Together with the troops, Tod sent about one thousand captures, including Commander Sun from the

Timber Deity Empire, back to the main camp in the front line. As soon as they arrived, Tod went to

meet Isis to report the details of the battle and deliver Rocky's message.

"Hem! I'm afraid he thought too much. I won't look for him!" said Isis in an angry voice. However, her

expressions and the surprised look she had reflected as if she felt wronged by the love of her life.

Tod felt awkward after delivering Rocky's message and seeing Isis's reaction, so he excused himself by

bowing respectfully and leaving her tent.

Shortly after Tod had left, a guard walked into the tent saying, "Madam, somebody outside wants to see

you."

"Who is it?" Isis asked.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, long time no see!" said a tall and slim beautiful woman, with her head

held high, as she barged into the tent. She looked as arrogant as a queen, and gave out the aura of a

senior spirit manipulator.

The woman was Marcia's disciple, who had been dispatched by her master to protect Rocky. It seemed

that she was an old acquaintance of Isis.

As soon as Isis saw the woman, a glimmer of surprise flashed across her eyes. However, she did a

great job hiding it, and ordered the guard to leave.

The guard bowed respectfully to her and left right away.

"Why did you come here?" Isis asked while looking the woman in the eye. It seemed that she wasn't

very happy to see her.

"I came to deal with something. By the way, I can see an old friend in you," the woman answered in a

soft voice.

"An old friend? I think it's more proper to refer to me as an old rival," Isis said coldly, as if she had had

some conflict against the woman.

"Why are you still holding all this grudge? After all, it has really been a long while since it happened,"

the woman asked while rolling her arrogant eyes.

"No, I am not holding any grudge at all," Isis said despite the apparent grievance in her eyes that were

fixated on the woman.

"You needn't try to deny it. Nobody knows you better than I do, given that we have been fighting

against each other since our childhood!" The woman suddenly burst into a beautiful smile as if an

iceberg had melted.

"Oh, and should I feel honored to be known well by the second daughter of the honorable Ji Clan?" Isis

continued to speak in a sarcastic tone after giving a sneer.

"I'm no longer the second daughter of the Ji Clan. I'm not at all related to the Ji Clan," said the woman.

She regained the cold tone as soon as she heard Isis mention the Ji Clan.
