CHAPTER 401 THE BIG CRISES ARE FINALLY OVER

Just as the two senior leaders of the Crimson Dragon Group from the Holy Dragon Empire, Isis and

Marin, were performing for their soldiers, a person and two beasts were sneaking around like ghosts in

the camps of an army from the Timber Deity Empire. They evaded the patrols and bypassed more than

a dozen military camps. Finally, they appeared near the grain warehouse of the Timber Deity Empire.

At that very moment, more than a dozen soldiers were guarding the grain warehouse. Each one of

these soldiers seemed languid and sleepy. The sneaky person was nobody but Rocky.

He realized that the warehouse was not heavily guarded, so he pulled out his Frozen Wind Dagger.

Suddenly, the spiritual light was spread over his whole body. Then, he burst the Evil Flame that turned

into a red-black light in less than a second while rushing up to the sleepy soldiers.

After more than a dozen flashes of such evil light, all of the soldiers silently dropped dead on the

ground without even having enough time to cry out for help.

When Rocky withdrew the Frozen Wind Dagger, his war beasts, Rubygon and Uriah also appeared

beside him.

"Uriah, set fire on all the camps! Don't show mercy to them!" Rocky patted Uriah's head.

Uriah followed its master's orders. At once, the scales of its whole body flared up, and it instantly shot

out intertwining streams of flame. The flames quickly dashed towards the grain warehouse. Moreover,

the fire kept burning whatever it passed by. Also, thanks to the wind, the entire grain warehouse was

completely swallowed up by an ocean of big fire within a few seconds. The horrific fire even affected

the camps around.

"Fire, fire, fire! Help!" cried the nearby patrol upon catching sight of the big fire in the grain warehouse.This material belongs to .

Such cries immediately alarmed the soldiers in all the camps. They hurriedly ran out to put out the fire

without even wearing any clothes. Their shame was instantly taken over by their survival instinct.

Distinguishing the deadly fire was what mattered most now.

Their three Commanders who were still arguing about whether to withdraw their troops suddenly saw

the fire in their rear camp. As the fire was so fierce, they were shocked and hurriedly took the

remaining two thousand soldiers to return to their camp.

When the three Commanders safely returned to the camp, they saw that the location of their once-

existing grain warehouse was completely swallowed up by the big fire.

"What is going on here?" Commander Zhou asked a soldier who was frighteningly running past him.

"I... I don't know. But it looks like someone killed the guards of the grain warehouse and set it on fire..."

the soldier hesitantly said as he was scared by the wild glare of the three Commanders.

"Hurry! We want this fire gone in less than 30 minutes!" shouted the other two Commanders to the

soldiers around.

At the same time, just outside the camp, Rocky triumphantly looked at the fire in the camp and then

disappeared out of thin air.

Soon after, on the rampart of the Wild Heaven Pass, Marin stopped playing the heptachord and Isis

stopped dancing. The latter was sweating and panting because she hadn't danced since she became

the Deputy Commander in Chief.

"Cousin, you've been dancing for so long! You must be exhausted." Marin seemed truly concerned.

She immediately put the heptachord down, got up, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her cousin.

Isis took the handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on her face. Then, the light and flames of the fire

at the campsite of the Timber Deity Empire caught her attention. She was taken aback and said

involuntarily, "Was the camp of Timber Deity Empire on fire?"

Hearing her cousin's words, Marin steered her attention to the direction of the fire light. They were

confused.

"Could it be..." Marin hesitated and exchanged a look with Isis as she could only think of one person

who was capable of such acts. Immediately, she turned to look down inside the Wild Heaven Pass. She

saw that other soldiers were still intoxicated in their earlier performance, while Rocky was the only

absent person. Thus, she knew her guess was right; he must have been to the camp of their enemies

to set fire.

"This guy just likes to act alone! I have to admit that he always behaves like that!" Marin couldn't help

but grumble unhappily.

"Well, Rocky always ignores military discipline! He is wired that way." Isis smiled helplessly.

The two female leaders then went down the rampart, summoned all the soldiers, and asked them to

have a rest in order to be prepared for any unexpected event.

Soon after, Rocky and his two beasts sneaked in from the gap in the north entrance of the rampart.

With two loud whoosh sounds, Rocky suddenly saw two women standing right in front of him.

"Oh, two beauties, are you here to greet me in particular? How lucky am I!" Rocky asked and raised his

eyebrows. Although it was very late at night, he could instantly recognize the two people standing in

front of him.

"The fire at the Timber Deity Empire camp was set up by you?" Isis asked.

"Who knows! Look, I am so tired. If you two have no other matters to ask me, I am going to find a place

to have some sleep," Rocky said innocently with a yawn and stretched himself. Endless questions

would be sheer torture for him and the last thing he needed right now was to be "tortured" by Isis and

Marin. Thus, the moment he finished speaking, Rocky strutted away.

"This guy is just so..." Marin said and clenched her delicate hands into fists. She was very angry with

Rocky's arrogant attitude.

"Just let him go! We need to have some rest as well. Even if Rocky's plan didn't succeed, the Timber

Deity Empire army will not launch attacks again within a short time," Isis said at once and then pulled

Marin away. As the Deputy Commander in Chief, Isis was more aware of Rocky's intention. Thus, she

showed more tolerance for his behavior.

Isis and Marin had a mediation for the rest of the night in their temporary tent. The next day, before

dawn, Isis woke up to a voice shouting, "Deputy Commander in Chief..."

She opened her eyes and got up. Seeing that Marin was still in her meditation, she walked out of the

camp alone and saw Dunn outside.

"What happened?" Isis asked and squinted her eyes.

"The army of the Timber Deity Empire has withdrawn," Dunn answered respectfully with his hands

cupped.

Not believing what she heard, she hurriedly walked to the north wall and went up to the rampart of the

north. When she overlooked the place where the army of the Timber Deity Empire was stationed, she

saw that nobody was there anymore. There were only some empty tents and traces of land being

burned by the fire.

"Well, it looks like Rocky's strategy is successful!" Isis couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief and joy.

"Rocky is really amazing. It's a pity that he is not a Commander!" Dunn, a Commander who was always

very arrogant and wouldn't praise others, praised Rocky spontaneously. However, if one was to

observe him carefully, it could be found that his eyes flashed a glimpse of cruelness. Although a smart

observer, Isis also didn't spot such a subtle expression in his eyes as she was overjoyed at that

moment.

"So, where is Rocky now?" Isis asked.

"I do not know. I haven't seen him early in the morning," Dunn said.

"He shouldn't have..." Isis hesitated. She immediately thought of Rocky's next move.

At this moment, Rocky was on the plain a few miles away from the Wild Heaven Pass. He was lying on

the back of Rubygon with his legs crossed and his eyes closed for rest. While Rubygon was running

fast, the Rainbow Glow Unicorn carrying a small Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf on its back and Uriah were

running at its two sides. The man and his four beasts looked so happy while taking a break in the wild

and wide plain.

Meanwhile, Lance, Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group, gave up the defense of the

Frozen River Pass instantly after being reminded by Rocky. Leading ten thousand troops, Lance

rushed to support the Loyal Dragon Pass without any rest at night. He and his soldiers arrived just

before the army of the Loyal Dragon Pass was completely defeated. Under his right command, the

already-in-jeopardy Loyal Dragon Pass was finally stabilized.

The thirty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire, who were led by Alyssa to attack the Loyal

Dragon Pass, had already suffered great losses in the previous battles. When they were about to

succeed in conquering the Loyal Dragon Pass, Lance suddenly came to support the pass in time. As

top Commander of the Timber Deity Empire, Alyssa was caught off guard.

In no time, she was informed that the army she had sent to attack the Wild Heaven Pass withdrew

because the Wild Heaven Pass got timely support. This piece of information shook her to her core. She

believed that her plan was perfect, but now it seemed that none of her plans ever worked out well.

Realizing that the situation became quite unfavorable, Alyssa immediately decided not to fight again.

She asked her army to stop attacking the Loyal Dragon Pass and prepare to withdraw the troops back

to their main camp.

At that point, the huge crises of the Crimson Dragon Group's in the two passes were finally resolved.

Lance was very aware that it was Rocky who helped his Crimson Dragon Army get out of such crises.
