CHAPTER 392 THE SUPERIOR
"Deputy Commander in Chief," At this very moment, Marin along with Uriah, who was lustering in
flames, appeared before Isis and others.
The emergence of Uriah, the giant beast startled the five hundred soldiers around causing a bustle,
who started to whisper about Uriah with an expression of amazement. Those ordinary soldiers always
respected the spirit manipulator who possessed the spirit-manipulated beast. Explicitly, Uriah who was
quite powerful and fierce stood out from other spirit-manipulated beasts. They pitied themselves, for
being born without the gift of a spirit manipulator and neither could they own one spirit-manipulated
beast. Now all they could do was to gaze at the magnanimity of the spirit-manipulated beast.
The glimpse of Uriah made Dunn reminisce about the last match that Rocky won, where there were
cascades of the unexpected events of upgrading and rare mutation, resulting in super evolution of the
spirit-manipulated beast. And at that time, the mutated Uriah was much more powerful and showed
quite excellent and astonishing qualification than his spirit-manipulated beast, Razor-claw Wolf Bear
which had already reached the third grade of three stars. Though Dunn wasn't sure about Uriah being
a spiritual beast, he was quite sure about its extreme rarity, as it was unusual that it could use Fire.
The fact that Marin showed up with Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast surprised Isis. She blinked a little
and asked, "Where have you been? Why are you with Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast?"
"Wasn't that obvious to you?" Marin turned in the direction from where she came and gazed admiringly
at the flames scattered all over the pass, as their masterpiece work. In fact, Marin didn't do that by
herself. All she did was point out the destinations and order Uriah to light a little fire on it, which was
quite an easy task.
"It is Rocky! Only he could come up with such strange method. But I had never seen any tactical
deployment like that one before." Isis recalled all the tactical deployment she learned, and failed to find
one similar to that, as at most cases that kind of deployment could not be done without enough
soldiers. But in fact, Rocky left only five hundred soldiers. So, she could not perceive what Rocky was
doing.
"Of course, only an arrogant guy could come up with a strange idea like that." Marin remarked
unhappily and then complained, "Why do we have to follow his instruction, Deputy Commander in
Chief? We could face this situation on our own."
But a trace of vagueness lingered on those words. Because she knew it would be impossible for them
to protect the pass without a useful strategy as they were left with no more than four thousand soldiers.
Back then, Isis was busy in making the retreating plan. With Rocky's arrival, he had altered the
situation, bringing hope to the Crimson Dragon Army. It was against Marin's personality to depend on
others for the protection of the pass. She could never admit this and would have rather chosen to die at
the war field than hiding behind others. Moreover, she never had a liking for that guy.
"I'm not meant to. Actually, I know how much you hate him and I hate him much more, especially his
lack of respect for the disciplines and leisure personality. He is a cold natured guy with many faces.
Nobody would adore the person of that kind!" Isis shrugged. She didn't want to rely on Rocky, either. It
was not her style. "But he came alone under the order of my father. He must be confident that he can
protect the pass well for us. So, if we were to defend the Wild Heaven Pass, the only way now is to rely
on him!"
Isis and Marin shared the same personality in some aspects. They had never relied on anybody and
always acted independently. In defending the Wild Heaven Pass, they had brought in their best efforts Content held by .
consistently for such a long time or that would have lost if the commander still being Commander
Cheng. Also, Commander Cheng was badly injured while combating the two rival commanders. Due to
this he was sent back to Evian City, after which Isis took over his position. Commander Cheng was
never a weak one. He was a powerful and strong warrior. However, even with his strong abilities he
couldn't sustain the serious damages inflicted upon him. So, one could imagine the ferocity of attacks
Isis had encountered those days.
The Wild Heaven Pass was so strategically vital to her that she would do anything to defend it. But now
she had gone into a dead end where she wouldn't be successful in fooling her enemies with the same
old strategies. There could only be a simple result if she continued to be her own.
And that result was definitely of no good. She was imminent that it would be impossible to keep the
pass without the assistance of a foreign aid. Now that Rocky was confident enough, it was impossible
for her to ignore him and face the consequences.
She had to struggle a lot with herself before making a decision to depend on Rocky once again. In fact,
she was exemplary in her own ways, as she was brilliant and gifted which made her superior among
people of the same age. Therefore, she had an extraordinary sense of pride and superiority because
there were few people of the same age on the Wild Spirit Land better than her.
But Rocky had gradually worn that sense of pride and superiority away, about which she had no idea.
In her thoughts, Rocky was born different with specific qualities, gifts and logic, totally different from
others and was extremely hard to understand. In general, he was just a freak!
She in all her senses, would refuse to depend on a freak of his kind to win the war. She also had
immense hatred deeper than anybody else on the earth towards him. But now, in this critical juncture,
she being the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group, was compelled to rely on a
smart arse like Rocky. And doing this would make it extremely difficult for her to face her fellow soldiers
in the camp!
Being a qualified commander of her stature, she had a clear assessment of the whole situation. Similar
to the war of the Rough slope, what mattered most at present was the defence of the Wild Heaven
Pass. She had no second thoughts on keeping her pride secondary.
In people's eyes, she treated Rocky differently and even favored him. However, being the person
Rocky was, he deserved that.
She had always made sure that there were no personal feelings involved in those decisions she had
made. All she had done was in the interest of the Crimson Dragon Group or at least those were her
beliefs.
