CHAPTER 402 IN EXCHANGE OF HELP (PART ONE)

Two days right after the Crimson Dragon Army had muddled through holding the field of the three This material belongs to .

passes, the reinforcements demanded by Lance turned up in time. These reinforcements were

constituted of the Elite Regiment and twenty thousand main forces. Three more days passed since

thirty thousand more main forces led by two Elite Commanders arrived at the frontline, to join the

clamor.

For now, there were approximately seventy thousands of Crimson Dragon Army here collectively. With

the strongly formidable forces, they were now in a position to thrash back the Timber Deity Empire. On

the other hand, the Timber Deity Empire encountered significant losses when they were battling at the

clamor in Loyal Dragon Pass and Wild Heaven Pass, with substantial casualties of nearly forty

thousand soldiers. At present, these two armies were far apart in strength. Thus, the leader of the army

of the Timber Deity Empire could merely call for a withdrawal as speedily as feasible to nip in the bud

for any more costs of soldiers.

Currently, the two armies were now standing at where they had commenced once again, after the

pulling out of the Timber Deity Empire.

With the tremendous assistance of Rocky for more than a month, specifically on how to hold the field of

Wild Heaven Pass, the Crimson Dragon Army was then in a position to drive the enemy back.

According to his battle proposed action, the Crimson Dragon Army did an about-turn entirely on the

situation and got back to the advantage. Everything suggested to have come full circle, with the two

armies standing at where they had commenced before the clamor occurred. The numbers of the two

troops differed, though, after a strenuous round of fighting.

On the other side, something gave the impression of taking place in the frontline at this moment as the

leaders got together.

Inside the giant tent, Lance was now sitting calmly like the sleep of a soul that was blest in his tiger

chair. At each side of his chair, four Elite Commanders were standing uprightly, together with nine

Frontline Commanders.

In front of Lance, there were also eight spirit manipulators standing. They came in all ages, with male

and female. And the capability of each of them was above the Heavenly Stage. Among them, the one

standing at the front was like a monk without hair on his head. The bushy eyebrows made him look

kind of intimidating. And a red chain of beads was hanging on his chest. It was easy as a piece of cake

to tell from the fierce momentum of his body, that his firmness was almost as powerful as Isis.

His name was Sheehan, deputy head of the Elite Regiment of the Crimson Dragon Group. With the

power of the eighth grade of the Heavenly Stage, he was much superior to its associates in the

Crimson Dragon Group.

The several spirit manipulators behind Sheehan, were the core members of the elite forces as well.

They were all from the royal spirit manipulators, who had been dispatched by the royal family over the

last dozen years and were trained secretly in the Crimson Dragon Group, to be formed as the elite

forces.

However, these Elite Regiment members did not get entangled in the war in a general way. Instead,

they would specialize in highly back-breaking and perilous tasks, such as cloak-and-dagger activities in

another country, or assassinating people, and so on. With well-trained, every one of them was battle-

scarred, very efficient at attacking. Anyone of them solely was even more compelling than a hundred

ordinary soldiers in the war.

The Crimson Dragon Army did have its brawniness doubled with the elite forces entered in the battle

this time.

"Commander in Chief, due to the head of the elite group has been busy with another secret task, so it's

me who is heading the twenty members of the group to come and grant assistance," Sheehan arched

his hands and declared, with self-effacing expressions in his face at this juncture.

"Thank you all very much for lending me a supporting hand!" Lance replied to Sheehan in a polite tone

with a mild smile on his face. His smile died faster than wisps of smoke dissipated after a candle flame

had been snuffed out. He was cognizant very clearly in his mind that these elite forces were pretty of

great import to the Crimson Dragon Group. Then, he turned his head and ordered, "Commander Ron,

please do me a favor to take good care of every member of the Elite Regiment while they stay here."

"No problem, Commander in Chief," Commander Ron responded a split second to Lance. After that, he

went down at Sheehan. With one of his hands postured, he spoke courteously, "Please kindly follow

me in this way."

Sheehan and other members of the Elite Regiment bowed to Lance firstly and later left behind

Commander Ron, wending their way outside of the tent.

Right after the Elite Regiment had left, Isis and Marin showed up and stretched their legs into the tent

in haste like lightning.

"Father..."

"Commander in Chief..."

Both Isis and Marin arched her hands to Lance as they walked in front of him. They were just back from

Wild Heaven Pass.

"Oh, you two are finally back!" Lance nodded his acknowledgment at them. At getting a glimpse of only

Isis and Marin had turned up, he continued, "Where is Rocky Bai?"

"That guy, he departed earlier after the retreat of the Timber Deity Empire made their getaway," Marin

responded as if she was in high dudgeon with Rocky.

"Oh, that case..." Lance spoke with a sullen face and, in a flash, halted as if there was a shift in his

thoughts. He then let out a slight sigh and proceeded, "Anyway, without Rocky's advice, we couldn't

have held the field of Loyal Dragon Pass this time. Thanks to him, otherwise, we won't be in a position

to keep both Wild Heaven Pass and Loyal Dragon Pass in the end."

As Lance was talking, none of the people at the scene had the slightest idea what his actual motive of

saying so. Isis, Marin and other Commanders could only peer at each other and be reticent as a mouse

at this moment as they were halting for Lance to finish uttering his words so that they would have a

definite view why Lance had said so. Sometime earlier, none of them had figured it out why Lance

would hand over the army from Frozen River Pass to Loyal Dragon Pass back then. As for them, it was

really weird that Lance would establish such an arrangement. As a matter of fact, he was doing this

because of Rocky's recommendation. Thus, no doubt all the Commanders looked flustered when

Lance mentioned this again at this moment. They felt like their brain cells had been randomized.
