The Water Phalanx lost its effect as soon as the first division fell, causing its combined effect with the Valley Phalanx to disappear.
Striking while the iron was hot, the Changing Army followed up with another attack and forced the soldiers at the Valley Phalanx and Water Phalanx to withdraw one after another.
When Isabel saw this, she couldn't help gritting her teeth in dismay. She had no choice but to merge the soldiers assigned to both fallen phalanxes and commanded them to return to the Valley Phalanx's initial position.
Moreover, once Rocky's soldiers occupied the first division, the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array's power slightly decreased as a result.
Rocky then figured that their next step would be to attack the second division, which was the Earth Phalanx's position, and he assigned Eunice to lead that charge.
That was because the Earth Phalanx was directly related to the Heaven Phalanx. If the Earth Phalanx collapsed, it could cause the Heaven Phalanx's power to weaken as well.
Of course, Isabel was well-aware of the gravity of the situation, so she immediately gathered the soldiers from the neighboring Valley Phalanx to help defend the Earth Phalanx.
However, she had not expected that another offensive would be launched at the same time. While they were distracted, the Shield Army, who had been quiet for some time, had stealthily approached the position of the Mountain Phalanx and took down the division by surprise.
Now that the Mountain Phalanx's position was lost, their soldiers were in a disarray. They had nowhere to go but the Heaven Phalanx.
"Damn it!" Isabel cursed furiously. She didn't expect that Rocky was not only well-versed in the principles of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array, but he even knew how to defeat it.
Now that Rocky's men had successfully taken over the Water Phalanx and Mountain Phalanx, the power of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array had grown weaker as an indirect effect.
At the same time, the battle raging at the Earth Phalanx's position had fallen into a stalemate. But because the Swimming Army and Shield Army couldn't move away from their respective position without compromising it, none of them could lend a hand to the Changing Army.
However, the entire war hinged on what would happen to the Earth Phalanx. If Eunice could break through it, she could also cause the Heaven Phalanx to lose its effect. That was her mission.
Since Isabel had already lost two of her divisions, she could not afford to act recklessly, as she feared that Rocky would take advantage of the current situation.
At this moment, they all had eyes on the Earth Phalanx—the deciding point.
The stalemate lasted for two hours. But even though they faced the combined strength of a relatively powerful force, the Changing Army, led by Eunice, finally broke into the Earth Phalanx.
The moment that the Changing Army conquered the Earth Phalanx, the Heaven Phalanx's power was compromised as well, and the soldiers in that position fell into an unfavorable position. The Swimming Army soon suppressed them, and they could do nothing but withdraw.
As this was happening, the Shield Army at the Mountain Phalanx suddenly gave up and withdrew towards the third division. Following the suppression and pushing back of the Heaven Phalanx's soldiers to their initial position, the Swimming Army advanced to the Thunder Phalanx as fast as they could, intending to band together against the third division.
Whether Isabel wanted to admit it or not, the ax had fallen against them. Thus, Isabel promptly sent troops from the Wind Phalanx to the Thunder Phalanx as back up. However, in the end, the Swimming Army and the Shield Army gained the upper hand, and their already high morale was boosted even higher.
At this point, five of the eight phalanxes of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array had been lost, which were the Mountain Phalanx, Earth Phalanx, Heaven Phalanx, Water Phalanx, and Thunder Phalanx.
Isabel's face was a gloomy reflection of her army's demise. She had never thought that her Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array could be defeated so miserably.
She was afraid that if the enemy soldiers were able to break the array, her army's morale would suffer further damage. Thus, she decided to untie the array before that happened.
As a result, Rocky led his army and broke through the array with a triumphant shout, which was answered by the human soldiers' deafening cheers.
"Basil is incredible!"
Commander Wang and the three deputy commanders, who had been silently observing the battle from a distance, were also surprised. This was the first time that they had seen Rocky serious in battle.
Of course, the human soldiers weren't the only ones impressed by Rocky's prowess in battle. The spiritual race army had erupted in an uproar as well.
"No way! The human army actually subdued Commander Isabel's mysterious military arrays!"
"Yeah! I thought our commander's mysterious military arrays were invincible. I didn't think there was anyone in the world who could defeat her..."
