"Attack!" As soon as Tucker gave the order, the troops behind him quickly rushed towards the army of the spiritual race, like a domineering spear that would pierce through anything.
At the same time, under Isabel's command, the spiritual race's army formed their own array and charged ahead. They unleashed a huge savage-looking beast-shaped array as they attacked Tucker's troops.
In just a moment, the two armies had already engaged and locked in a fierce battle.
Although the array being used by the spiritual race's army gave an impression that it was solely focused on defense, Tucker remembered Rocky's warning about their intention. They must be planning to lure the human troops deep into their array before they launched their real power. Just as Rocky explained, their array could switch at any time, so Tucker kept an eye on the enemy's movements and didn't dare to lose focus. He also did not let his men advance too much in order to maintain a certain distance.
As someone with years of experience in battle, Tucker did not really give an opening even though they were against the mysterious military array of Isabel. After two hours of confrontation, the spiritual race's army had not gained the upper hand.
Of course, it could be also noticed that Isabel was deliberately trying to go easy on Tucker to lure him into their trap.
Meanwhile, Rocky was standing on the top of the cliff of the Heavenly Rain Valley and was carefully observing the array that Isabel had deployed. He was trying to compare it with the mysterious military arrays that he was familiar with so that he could decipher its mechanism.
The mysterious military arrays that were being used in the Supreme Ether Land must also be derived from the ones created by the author of the manual he acquired. Hence, Rocky should most likely be able to figure out the overall function and system of the enemy's array.
Then, just as Rocky speculated, after careful analysis, he found out that Isabel's array was the mysterious beast array, which was very similar to the illusionary array. When it was activated, it could instantly produce different forms of beast arrays and could quickly transform from one form to another. The defending array was like a giant elephant, which seemed to be impregnable. On the other hand, the attacking array was much like a python that could swiftly strike in all directions.
Most importantly, the mysterious beast array was the second most powerful array in all of the mysterious military arrays. Thus, even though Tucker was pretty experienced in wars, it would be impossible for him to defeat Isabel using ordinary arrays.
"I knew it. The spiritual race is using their array to lure our troops into their trap!" After confirming the enemy's strategy, Rocky quickly flew down and returned to the valley.
"Deputy Commander Bertram, please lead a troop of five thousand soldiers to the west of the Heavenly Rain Valley. When you get there, wait for further instructions. You are going to set up an ambush for the spiritual race's army later." Rocky immediately ordered.
"All right. Copy that!" Bertram didn't need to hear all the details before he agreed with Rocky's plan. After all, at this point, Rocky's commands were even more absolute than Tucker's
After Bertram assembled his men and left, Rocky immediately summoned Eunice, Kye, and Maxwell.
"I'll get straight to the point. Commander Tucker should be in trouble real soon. We will need to go out to assist him. Oh, and it's going to be just the four of us," Rocky said with an awkward smile.
"What? Only the four of us? What can we do with just the four of us?" Kye asked with furrowed brows.
"Just trust me on this. The four of us are more than enough. We just need to create an opportunity for the commander to retreat," Rocky replied.
Hearing this, the three of them eventually nodded and agreed.
After telling them his plan, Rocky quickly took the three of them out of the valley to find Tucker.
Meanwhile, Tucker was still able to resist the mysterious beast array of the spiritual race's army, putting the two sides in a stalemate. However, soon enough, he sensed that something was odd. But before he could even react, the mysterious beast array suddenly changed into a snake-like form that coiled and surrounded them.
