Rocky was promoted to deputy commander. Bertram, Eunice, and Kye hurried to find Rocky to congratulate him.
"Spiritual King Basil, Congratulations! You've finally been promoted to deputy commander!" Bertram beamed. In his opinion, Rocky's promotion was well deserved.
"Thank you, Deputy Commander Fei!" Rocky smiled calmly.
"Now that you've become a deputy commander, let's celebrate!" Kye was also very happy.
"I also want to be a deputy commander. Why don't you give the position to me?" Eunice pouted.
"That's fine, I don't mind. As long as Commander Wang agrees, I'll give you the title instead," Rocky answered simply.
"Humph! You are so mean! You know Commander Wang won't agree," Eunice whined. Despite her tone, she too felt happy for Rocky.
Meanwhile, just then, Isabel was rushing back to the camp of the spiritual race. With Rocky's help, she had managed to escape from the Heavenly Rain Valley.
The atmosphere in the camp was gloomy, and the morale was at an all-time low. There were only ten thousand soldiers left, and worse, Isabel's capture had left them feeling hopeless.
The deputy commander who was in control of the army of ten thousand soldiers was just about to have them retreat. But just then, Isabel showed up safe and sound.
"Commander Isabel, how did you manage to escape? Didn't you get caught?" the deputy commander asked with wide, astonished eyes.
The soldiers of the spiritual race in the camp also cheered loudly when they saw their commander had returned unscathed.
"I just escaped," Isabel replied bluntly.
"Really? That's great!" The deputy commander heaved a sigh of relief. Isabel was highly valued by the commander in chief. If she really was captured, it would've been really difficult for him to explain the situation to the commander in chief.
"Lead the army back to the original position at once. I need to see the commander in chief right away," Isabel ordered. Then she summoned her three-headed spiritual snake and left quickly.
Two days later, Isabel arrived at the base camp of the spiritual race and asked to see Alyssa, the commander in chief of the army of the spiritual race.
After receiving the message, Alyssa ordered her men to bring Isabel to her tent.
"Isabel, weren't you ordered to attack the Heavenly Rain Valley? Why are you here?" Alyssa asked straightforwardly once Isabel arrived.
"We failed, and my troops suffered heavy losses!" Isabel answered honestly, her expression darkening.
"What? How could this be? With your skills in mysterious military arrays, how did you fail?" Alyssa was taken aback. She had carefully picked Isabel for this mission, specifically because she thought she was capable of executing it.
"I met a man who is also proficient in the mysterious military arrays, and he's even more skilled than me," Isabel said with a sigh.
"Such a talent exists within the human race? Unbelievable!" Alyssa shook her head in disbelief.
"There's more to the story. If it weren't for him, I would've been captured by the human army by now," Isabel suddenly added.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Alyssa was perplexed. It seemed the story was growing more and more complicated.
"He captured me and then let me go," Isabel replied hesitantly.
"Are you serious? He captured you and then let you go?" Alyssa echoed dubiously. "Who is he?"
"The human army calls him Spiritual King Basil," Isabel answered.
"Spiritual King Basil? Him again?!" Alyssa frowned deeply.
"Do you know about him?" Isabel asked, picking up on Alyssa's tone.
