Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1955

"Israel, do you think Enoch is that stupid? Of course, he already knows that we might think that way. Hence, I don't think that he will let us break into the Wind Plain that easily. Although everyone knows that the Wind Plain is a place that is easy to attack and hard to defend, it doesn't mean that we can seize it without any difficulty. Moreover, have you forgotten that there is a river between the Red River Valley and the Wind Plain? If we decide to make a detour from the Wind Plain to the Red River Valley, it will take at least ten days to half a month. Doing that will just affect the soldiers' morale and waste their strength," Rocky retorted perceptively.

"I agree with what Odin just said. Aside from that, the sheer number of our soldiers is way greater than Enoch's. Then, why waste time? We can just attack them head-on. After all, we should establish our prestige first. Otherwise, we might be ridiculed by them later," Adrian added, supporting Rocky's statements.

"What about the others?" Zain turned towards the other commanders in the tent, intending to solicit their opinions.

For a moment, the other commanders looked at each other, and finally said, "We'll listen to you, Your Royal Highness!"

"Well, in my opinion, the primary reason why my uncle wants to personally lead his army is to stabilize and improve the morale of his men. Thus, if we avoid fighting them head-on, it will only boost their momentum. Therefore, in the first battle, I also agree that we must fight them directly. Of course, it is imperative that we also secure the victory," Zain said after analyzing the overall situation.

"We concur, Your Royal Highness!" the commanders shouted in unison.

"Tell them to gather all the troops! We are going and set out for the Red River Valley as soon as possible," Zain ordered firmly.

Soon enough, Zain and the three hundred thousand soldiers of the royal family headed straight for the Red River Valley.

The terrain of the Red River Valley was mainly hilly and undulating. Furthermore, it was covered by a large forest, which would be perfect spot for someone to plan a sneak attack and an ambush. At the same time, the headquarters of Enoch's army was a fortress situated in the depths of the Red River Valley.

This fortress occupied a commanding position on a hill that could be used to overlook the entire Red River Valley. With this, any movement from the troops of the royal army in the valley would not be able to escape their surveillance.

Two days later, the royal army finally entered the Red River Valley. Then, they eventually chose a flat area, where they built a temporary encampment. Zain also sent out several small teams to explore the terrain of the valley as well as gather information.

On the other hand, as the army of the royal family infiltrated the Red River Valley, Enoch immediately got the news. Hence, he wasted no time and made necessary arrangements. Just like they planned, he and his army would give the royal army a head-on confrontation before their opponents could gain a firm foothold in the valley.

Upon observing the terrain of the valley, Rocky, who had already experienced countless battles before, guessed that Enoch might take the initiative to attack the royal army first. Therefore, he quickly instructed Adrian to give a word to Zain regarding Enoch's possible plan.

Of course, the only reason why Rocky would ask Adrian to disclose the enemies' plot to Zain was so Adrian could gain the prince's trust even more. Then, later on, he could reap the seed that he had sown.

After Adrian did as he was told and hinted Zain of the impending danger, the prince evidently became more cautious. Then, he secretly asked several premium-stage Shura Realm masters to set up traps around the camp to counter Enoch's ploy.

Just as what Rocky had speculated, on the second night after the royal army entered the Red River Valley, the east camp of the royal army was suddenly attacked by several flaming arrows. These immediately triggered a huge fire that set the camp ablaze.

Immediately after, a group of Enoch's soldiers rushed out towards the east camp to finish the deed.

However, to their surprise, there was no one in there. It turned out that all the people who looked like soldiers from afar were just scarecrows.

Seeing that their operation was thwarted and that the situation was unfavorable for them, the commander immediately gave the order to retreat. However, it was too late for them since they already fell in the enchanted barrier that was set beforehand by Zain's men.

Afterward, the royal army, which had been quietly hiding in the dark all this time, suddenly rushed out, killing all the enemy soldiers.
