Commander Zhou of Timber Deity Empire didn't foresee this and grimaced when seeing the force was blocked outside by the fire. He had to wave his hand and ordered to retreat to a kilometer away. Then he got the topographic map of Rough Slope and found the northeast military army was retreating in the direction of a valley with a dead road. An evil smile developed on his face. He declared, "The fire would keep burning until tomorrow morning. At that time, I will go to capture you and let me watch how you will run away!" So he ordered his battalions to stay where they were and hold their horses for tomorrow.
After they went into the valley, the northeast military army started to cure themselves and took a breather. They were apprehensive that a vicious war was standing by for them tomorrow.
Rocky's face grew solemn when he was standing at the edge of the valley and peering at the burning forest not far away.
"Just now... Thank you..." A gentle voice was floundering by the side of Rocky.
"You are proposing to marry me so that I will take care of your life. I shall undoubtedly save you, and you deserve it," Rocky said with an evil voice. Even Rocky didn't turn around, but he was conscious that this tender voice was Marin.
Then there was a hit like a ton of bricks silence. Rocky knew Marin must be wearing a ridiculous and lively expression, although he didn't turn his head to have a look at it.
"Can we cling to life tomorrow?" Marin asked with a perturbed expression. All the things went on as Rocky planned; however, the northeast military army only had around three thousand forces. Marin felt uncertain if they could survive tomorrow.
"Who has the slenderest clue? We have worked out everything we could, and next, we just have to entrust luck," Rocky said in an easygoing manner as the surface of a lake when the loud wind was laid and turned away.
"Why are you so composed?" Marin looked at Rocky with an indecipherable look. Under this condition, one shall be hysterical with uncertainty or even in desperate. But Rocky wasn't perturbed at all and was very amiable.
The fire outside the valley was burning for a whole night. The glowing embers leapt and twirled in a fiery dance. The fire was getting smaller until the next morning.
Timber Deity Empire forces after reforming at one night were bracing to go. They planned to attack the northeast military army behind the bare woods after the fire settled down.
God might be lending them a hand. A message spirit-manipulated beast landed on the valley when the fire settled down, and Timber Deity Empire army braced up to charge.
Marin took the message letter from the spirit-manipulated beast and opened it. In a muddle for a second, she became jubilant. Her elation was like a cloudless spring day. Her face lit up brighter than a toothpaste commercial and she had that soft expression on her face.
"Are reinforcements reaching in?" Rocky asked serenely.
"How do you perceive that?" Marin inquired from him since Rocky was right.
"The reinforcements shall be gathered from the nearest troops around Rough Slope. Deputy Commander in Chief couldn't twiddle her thumbs for a longer time and dispatched troops in advance." Rocky was already conscious Isis would send troop in advance because she was getting steamed up about them. Anyway, Isis sent the troops to save their skin at that juncture. It wouldn't affect the defensive lines of Crimson Dragon Army. Timber Deity Empire couldn't have sufficient time to gather their force within one day to invade their weak defensive line, even though their movement was swift. But when Timber Deity Empire wrapped their mind around the situation, Isis's reinforcements from base camp would have already turned up.
"How do you even be apprehensive of this? Do you have any prophecy of what would happen?" Marin stared at Rocky with big bizarre eyes. As Rocky described, Isis gathered forces from troops in the frontier and dispatched the forces to extricate them in advance.
"No, I don't have any prophecy, but I just know Isis in and out. Where are the reinforcements now?" Rocky asked in a pulling one's leg voice.
"They are going to reach in Rough Slope. Commander Cao and other two Frontline Commanders are leading the forces. Due to the limitation of the time, there are only ten thousand forces. But I think it's an amplitude for us. Commander Cao required to identify our location..." Marin gave Rocky a ferocious glare and responded.
"Well, it's beyond my scope and none of my business now," Rocky shrugged.
"Why do you say 'none of your business'?" Marin asked in discombobulated look.
