CHAPTER 584 IT WAS STRANGE

Soon after, driven by their own masters, the five Huge-horned Rhinoceroses went into Evian City. Their

huge bodies almost occupied half of the street. As they walked, the buildings around trembled, as if

tottering.

Roughly an hour later, the Huge-horned Rhinoceroses reached the front gate of the Crimson Dragon

Group's headquarters. The five spirit-manipulated beasts stood side by side, poised and ready to

strike.

Behind the five Huge-horned Rhinoceroses marched the Timber Deity Army. Tens of thousands of

soldiers surrounded the Crimson Dragon Group's headquarters, resembling a fearsome dragon eying

its prey.

"Charge!" Woods, who was situated towards the back of the army, abruptly shouted with a wave of his

hand.

The next moment, the five Huge-horned Rhinoceroses charged in unison into the front gate of the

headquarters. Their heads bowed to reveal fearsome, thick horns, plowing into the steel gate, denting it

immediately.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The deafening noise continued as the rhinoceroses relentlessly charged at the gate. With each charge,

the walls flanking the gate trembled violently. The areas of the gate that were hit were completely

sunken in.

It was evident the front gate was about to fall any moment.

At this time, Rocky and Sabina, who were in the meeting room, immediately caught wind of how the

Timber Deity Empire was attacking the front gate of the headquarters.

"The Timber Deity Empire really acts fast..." Even though Rocky had already anticipated that the

Timber Deity Empire wouldn't give him any time to come up with a plan, he was still surprised that they

had launched an attack so soon. They even had the audacity to attack through the front gate!

Rocky and Sabina hurried to join the other Elite Commanders and Frontline Commanders who were

already positioned at the front gate.

"Commander Rocky, the Timber Deity Empire troops are using the Huge-horned Rhinoceroses as a

battering ram to destroy the front gate. At the rate they're going, it seems the gate won't stand for long,"

Commander Lin said with authority, as he was quite familiar with the defensive capabilities of the holds text © rights.

headquarters.

"I can't believe that Woods chose to attack us from the front gate! It's as though he wants to destroy the

morale of the army of Evian City in one fell swoop. But since they own five Huge-horned Rhinoceroses,

the Timber Deity Empire has the power to do this." Although Rocky knew Woods' every move, this

knowledge was useless if he couldn't deal with the spirit-manipulated beasts that were tearing down

their walls as they spoke.

"It's a pity we don't have the spirit-manipulated beasts that could counter their rhinoceroses. Otherwise,

we could've probably bought ourselves some time," Marin muttered, furrowing her brows.

"Equally powerful spirit-manipulated beasts?" Rocky hesitated. Although there was no spirit-

manipulated beasts that could defeat the Huge-horned Rhinoceroses, he had three Dark Heaven

Insects with strong defensive ability in his Magic Spiritual Space. If he summoned them, they might be

able to hold off the Huge-horned Rhinoceroses for a while. Rocky shook his head. It was too risky. The

three Dark Heaven Insects were valuable. If anything happened to them, it would be a big loss for him.

"I think we should send all our soldiers to the front gate and get ready for the battle!" Commander

Wang raised his fist. He felt that under the desperate circumstances, they could do nothing but do

everything in their power to defend the front gate.

"If we call all our forces to the front gate, we won't be able to defend ourselves once the Timber Deity

Empire attacks us from any of the other entrances," Sabina immediately countered.

"It's no use. If we try to resist, our forces are inferior compared to theirs. It seems that even if we try our

best to fight back, I'm afraid we..." Commander Ron trailed off with a heavy sigh. Everyone nodded in

grim agreement. Even if they could defend the headquarters today, it was futile; they wouldn't have the

strength to stand their ground another day.

Especially since they didn't know when reinforcements would arrive, it was truly uncertain as to how

long exactly their forces could hang on.

The other Commanders exchanged glances with each other helplessly, each one hoping the other

would magically come up with a solution.

Sabina turned to look at Rocky. She knew that in this tight situation, unless they could think of the

perfect strategy, any outcome would most likely end in failure. Despite the fact that she had faced many

battles before as the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Rime Army, she had never been in a situation

wherein her side was vastly outnumbered. In this moment, she felt helpless and somewhat defeated

already.

Rocky's brows furrowed in concentration as he tried to come up with various plans. Countless

countermeasures flashed through his mind, each one ending in defeat. Sabina was right; if they sent all

the troops to defend from the front gate, that would leave the north and west gates to go unguarded. In

that case, the situation was likely to get worse. With a frustrated sigh, Rocky's shoulders slumped over.

He couldn't seem to come up with the perfect plan, no matter how hard he tried.

"Rocky, do you have any ideas?" Marin became a little anxious as she observed Rocky's body

language. They could do nothing but count on him now.

Rocky remained silent, but the solemnness on his face spoke louder than words. The other

Commanders shook their heads and sighed. If Rocky didn't have a plan, they were doomed.

Suddenly, Rocky sensed something stirring from the Magic Spiritual Space. How strange!

"Commander Wang, Commander Ron," he said with an authoritative voice, "you and several Frontline

Commanders lead two thousand soldiers to guard the front gate first. Commander Lin, Commander Li,

you lead the rest of the soldiers to defend the west and north gates. I'll be back soon." As soon as he

barked these orders, a light flashed and Rocky suddenly vanished, leaving the others stunned.

Moments later, Rocky materialized in a secluded place and quickly opened the Magic Spiritual Space.

Immediately a towering beast with long limbs emerged, colorful lights radiating from all over its body.

The Rainbow Glow Unicorn neighed excitedly, pawing the ground.

"Hey, you glutton! I don't have time to play with you right now," Rocky grumbled exasperatedly as the

beast emerged. He posited that the Rainbow Glow Unicorn came out because it felt lonely in the

Magical Spiritual Space, and wanted to get some fresh air.

Suddenly, the Rainbow Glow Unicorn growled fearsomely. Then it abruptly turned around and galloped

towards the front gate of the headquarters, where the Huge-horned Rhinoceroses continued to charge.

"This beast!" As soon as Rocky realized where the Rainbow Glow Unicorn was headed, his expression

changed. He immediately summoned Uriah, and in an instant mounted it to chase after the Rainbow

Glow Unicorn.

The Rainbow Glow Unicorn was quickly approaching the front gate. There was no way Rocky would

make it in time.

At the same time, Commander Wang, Commander Ron, Marin and several Frontline Commanders

were leading two thousand soldiers and guarding the front gate of the headquarters. In a feeble attempt

to deter the Timber Deity Army, they would launch a volley of arrows at them every so often.

The Commanders and soldiers of Evian City were startled at the sudden appearance of the Rainbow

Glow Unicorn. 'What's this colorful, glowing spirit-manipulated beast doing here?' they wondered.
