"Commander Wang, you have Spiritual King Basil to thank for. If it weren't for his foresight and him risking rushing back to the Tiger Whisker Pass against the orders, the Tiger Whisker Pass would have been in danger," Bertram said.
"You're right. If it weren't for Spiritual King Basil, we would have lost the Tiger Whisker Pass," Tucker replied. There was still a trace of fear in his eyes as the thought crossed his mind.
"Thank God for Spiritual King Basil's wisdom and foresight!" Deputy Commander Ma praised in a booming voice.
"Now that we have successfully defended the Tiger Whisker Pass and destroyed the spiritual race's plans, it will be seen as a great contribution. Commander Wang, you may be promoted because of this!" Bertram said.
"Let's talk about it later. Right now, we must focus on repairing the city walls of the Tiger Whisker Pass and deploying defense. In the process of guarding the Tiger Whisker Pass, countless soldiers died. We have to bury them," Tucker replied. He wanted his reward but he was still a kind and righteous man.
"Okay. I'll get on that right now." Then Bertram nodded, bowed, and departed.
In the meantime, Eunice and Kye were walking with Rocky back to his place. They looked at him with admiration in their eyes.
"Just spit it out already!" Rocky exclaimed, directing his eyes straight at Eunice.
"It's incredible that you managed to defend the Tiger Whisker Pass for so many days under the attack of tens of thousands of spiritual race soldiers. How did you do it?" Eunice said in a voice that dripped with amazement.
"Yes. It was amazing," Kye chimed in.
"It's not that big of a deal. What I'm more worried about is the person in the human race who betrayed us for their own selfish interest. I have a sinking feeling that they're someone in a high position," Rocky said, narrowing his eyes.
"What? Who is it?" Eunice asked as her eyes widened.
"I don't know yet, but I will find out." Above all else, Rocky hated traitors who betrayed their own people.
"Now that you helped Commander Wang guard the Tiger Whisker Pass and you made a great contribution, I wonder how he will reward you. Will he appoint you as a deputy commander? Maybe I can also get some benefits from it," Eunice said, smiling as the thoughts of promotions and rewards flashed before her eyes.
"It doesn't matter whether he will reward me or not. What I care about is how this will affect my reputation. Many people will hear about this, and perhaps it will attract their attention," Rocky replied.
"Their attention? Who are you referring to?" Eunice asked.
"My companions," Rocky explained.
"So the reason why you've been working this hard is because you want to spread your name so that your companions will come to you when they hear about it. You are so smart!" It had never occurred to Eunice that Rocky was so forward thinking.
"I thought you already knew how smart I am," Rocky teased.
Eunice immediately turned to him and glared.
"What are you two talking about?" Kye asked, feeling left out of the conversation.
"It's none of your business." Eunice snorted.
Since she didn't want to tell him, Kye shut his mouth.
Early in the morning on the second day, a spy sent by the army arrived and explained to Tucker that the spiritual race had gone to the front line of the western region and had been trying to cross the river. However, they had been intercepted by the army of the western region.
The spiritual race's army had been in low spirits, so they fought viciously to get away.
Unfortunately, the troops in the front line of the western region were not strong enough. That was why Commander Ling had sent someone to Tucker. They needed his assistance.
However, Tucker refused, using the excuse that he didn't have enough soldiers.
"Commander Wang, why have you chosen not to send troops to support the front line of the western region?" Deputy Commander Lin asked, scrunching his eyebrows together.
