CHAPTER 444 AN OPPONENT DESERVES APPRECIATION
The first thing Rocky did upon returning to the tent of Commander was drawing down, with pen and
paper, the Magic Lotus Array that he had just experienced. He included its formation, operation
principle, various attack methods, etc.
He knew that he must find the weakness of the Magic Lotus Array in order to break through it. He also
knew that in order to find its weakness, he must have a good understanding of it, which was why it was
important for him to try this array out!
After he tried this array, Rocky found that although this Magic Lotus Array was similar to the Eight
Heaven Locks Array, it was not as mysterious as the latter. The Magic Lotus Array was pretty
awesome, but it lacked a variety of changes of its own formations, including flexibility. Therefore,
finding its weakness would only take time, but it was not difficult.
And here came another sleepless night for Rocky.
During tonight's battle, the Timber Deity Empire's garrison suffered heavy casualties that there were
only over four thousand troops now. However, Crimson Dragon Army's losses were probably only half
that of the Timber Deity Empire's garrison.
This was extremely bad news for the Timber Deity Empire's garrison!
At the same time as the Crimson Dragon Army withdrew, Woods disbanded the Magic Lotus Array and
repositioned the perimeter of the camp of the Timber Deity Empire's garrison overnight.
"Fortunately, I have learned the Magic Lotus Array from Alyssa before I came here, otherwise the
Crimson Dragon Army would have already won by now! This Magic Lotus Array is the only thing that
could decide whether we could keep the Hippo Land or not! Unless the Crimson Dragon Army
manages to break through this array, no amount of soldiers could help them win," Woods said firmly at
this very moment as he was looking at the moon from the camp of Timber Deity Empire's garrison.
"Sir, I think we still need to immediately send the message to the princess and ask her to send
reinforcements to help us," a middle-aged man said, standing behind Woods. He was one of those
three masters at the Heavenly Stage who were being sent to protect Woods' safety.
"Alyssa is now leading the army and ready to attack another Crimson Dragon Army's strategic fort that
is at least three days away from the Hippo Land. If Crimson Dragon Army has the ability to break the
Magic Lotus Array, the Hippo Land will be lost in three days! If they could not break this Array in three
days, they would retreat. So, having reinforcements or not does not really matter," Woods said while
waving his hand.
"I am just worried that if the Crimson Dragon Army know the identity of you, they will never let you off
easily. Just now we were almost able to kill one of the Commanders of the Crimson Dragon Army. But
we did not expect that there was a master who was at the Supernal Stage among the Crimson Dragon
Army. Oh! What a pity!" the middle-aged man said pitifully. Sabina, whom they had accidentally met
before, was the master he was referring to. At that time, they were really sweating-scared. They even
thought that something big was going to happen. Luckily, though, Sabina didn't chase them.
"Even if I, the useless man, am caught by them, I would pose no threat to the Timber Deity Empire. But
that woman is really beautiful and charming. Besides Alyssa, she is the most attractive woman I have
ever met. I wonder when I can see her again!" Woods said with some self-depreciation. However, if one
was to listen carefully, one could find that aside from the self-mockery, there was a little anticipation in
Woods' words.
"Sir..." the middle-aged man frowned.
"It seems that Mr. Bai does be the Commander of the Crimson Dragon Army. At his age, he has
become the Elite Commander of the Crimson Dragon Army, which is really surprising. Moreover, he is
not weak, so I think he will be successful in the future!" Woods changed the subject and said
approvingly.
"So, does you really want to make friends with him? I mean, he is the enemy, for God's sake!" the
middle-aged man couldn't help but say so.
"If there is anything I want to accomplish in the future, it is to have a man as talented and as
courageous as him. Unfortunately, such talent is rare and hard to come by. If this Hippo Land can
exchange the friendship between us, I would like to hand it over to him." Woods made an astonishing
statement.
"This is the first time I have ever seen you appreciate a person to this extent." Upon hearing this, the
middle-aged man was astonished.
"It's also the first time I've met anyone as interesting as him. Did you see his face when he was talking
to me just now? He was nothing like the last time we met. He had a kind of innate domineering!"
Woods exclaimed.
"It's late now. It is your bed time, sir," the middle-aged man said and disappeared into the darkness.
Now, let's go back to Rocky who spent the whole night studying the Magic Lotus Array, which he finally
found its weakness. However, he could not break the Magic Lotus Array using the ordinary method.
The only way was to break up the array with the array.
But what he used to break the Magic Lotus Array must be verified with practical action because he
couldn't solve the problem by theory alone.
So, as soon as it was light, Rocky summoned the whole army. He had thoroughly analyzed the
structure and principles of the Magic Lotus Array. He even studied the various means of how to attack.
His thorough study would enable him to make an identical array to the Magic Lotus Array.
Rocky divided the army into two sides, a black side and a white side. He ordered the black side to use
the Magic Lotus Array to defend, and taught the white side all the arrays he knew from ancient times to
today, and let them practice one by one. At last, he asked the white side to use these learned arrays to
attack the black side's Magic Lotus Array defense as a test.
The other three Commanders, Sabina, Marin and Dunn, finally got to see Rocky's ability and talent.
They were extremely surprised to see that Rocky let the white side change various arrays constantly.
Little did they know that Rocky excelled in so many arrays, most of which they had never seen before.
Sabina, in particular, was really impressed by Rocky because she thought that Rocky even knew more
arrays than her master, Marcia, who was one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire.
Following the same patterns, Rocky spent three days to finally find a way to control the Magic Lotus
Array, the Four Beasts Array.
Therefore, on the third day, Rocky and Sabina, together with the three Commanders of the Crimson
Dragon Army, once again led the troops to the outside of the camp of the Timber Deity Empire's
garrison at dusk. They were ready to fight again with the Timber Deity Empire's garrison!
"Are they finally here?" Woods, who was in the tent of Commander became so serious once he knew
that Crimson Dragon Army had appeared outside their camp. "Assemble the whole army and put them
in battle positions outside the camp," he gave a decisive order directly.
Before long, all the troops of the Timber Deity Empire's garrison were gathered outside the camp. holds text © rights.
In the end, the two armies were deadlocked and a great war was approaching!
Riding on Rubygon, Rocky made his way to the front of the Crimson Dragon Army. On the other side,
Woods stepped out of the Timber Deity Empire's garrison as well.
They looked at each other. It was easy to see that they both carried an air which let people admire and
respect them.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time." Woods looked straight at Rocky who was on Rubygon's
back.
