Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 394

"Commander Zhou, you will lead three thousand soldiers to charge from the opening of the right side of the fort wall to beguile the attention of the enemy. Commander Liang and I will lead the rest of the soldiers to storm the fort gate. The number of the remaining soldiers who preferred to guard the Wild Heaven Pass should be small. It should not be a hazard to us. All we have to work out is to get it performed in one strenuous attempt." Inside the camp, the three Commanders stood around the table to put their heads together about an approach as they took a closer view of the map that laid on the table.

"All right," Commander Zhou nodded in like-mindedness. It was a magnificent opportunity to reimburse for the shortcomings of his failure in the clamor of the Rough Slope. That fizzling out almost made him beheaded by the military law. He could survive until now only because Princess Alyssa exonerated him for the sake of his previous outstanding military service in the army of the Timber Deity Empire. Princess Alyssa also held him in high esteem as a talented spirit manipulator of the Heavenly Stage. Otherwise, he would have been dead at the time he failed in the clamor of the Rough Slope. He was under a constraint to the princess for his life. So it was of absolute essence for him to apprehend the Wild Heaven Pass as a reciprocation to the kind amnesty of the princess.

Later on, the three Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire batted around the plan before it was subsequently concluded. They then sauntered out of the camp to give pep talks to the thousands of soldiers who were muddled up for departure.

Subsequently, the Timber Deity Army of more than ten thousand soldiers set out as a tremendous flood for the Wild Heaven Pass upon the military order as the night settled in.

Commander Zhou led two squads of spirit manipulators, and three thousand soldiers went hell for leather horizontally to the right of the fort wall as they got closer to the Wild Heaven Pass. The wall opening on the right became very big and was jumbled up by the dead bodies of the soldiers. They climbed up from the fort opening and charged forward saber rattling only to discover that the fort was unoccupied. Taken by bewilderment, they paused and stood still as gormless as a guppy.

"Could it be feasible that the Crimson Dragon Army had ultimately turned their backs on the Wild Heaven Pass?" Commander Zhou was thrown off balance as he sent the message to tip off the other two Commanders. Even though the fort was unoccupied, he still conducted himself in extreme cautiousness.

The other two Commanders led the army to bombard the gate of the fort as they were provided with the message from Commander Zhou. As they had in prospect, the fort gate was defenseless that it did not make any effort to free it. Not any single soldier from the Crimson Dragon Army came into view as they stood in front of the open gate to observe the situation in the fort. The Wild Heaven Pass was literary an empty fort.

Not long thereafter, Commander Zhou went like a bat out of hell to the fort gate to meet the other two Commanders. Several thousand soldiers who stood by behind them suggested to hanker after charging into the Wild Heaven Pass to occupy the fort at one fling.

"Holy crap! They actually retreated without the audacity to at least engage with us! Who could have in the prospect that the Crimson Dragon Army would be a straightforward target and open to attack? It was a drain of our time to have geared ourselves up and organized for this battle!"

"Well, it is not so awful. At least we can keep in reserve our energy to fight them. We can sleep like a baby tonight with our girls in arms..."

"Hah-hah, the Wild Heaven Pass is now all ours..."

"Speed up. Send someone to provide an account of the wonderful word to our princess."

The other two Commanders were over the moon. They completely immersed themselves in the elation of victory. They were as happy as a kitty in a cream pie. Happiness was flowing in them like a cloudless spring day, the kind of day when you didn't notice the weather at all.

The only one who remained steady was Commander Zhou. Lack of conviction and misgivings churned in his mind as he said, "Commanders, in order to steer clear any dereliction of duty, I guess it will be better for us to send one squad of army into the pass for a thorough reconnaissance before the whole troop set out to take occupation of the fort."

"Commander Zhou, what makes you a scaredy-cat today? Where are your daredevil and brave old self? Do you figure out the Crimson Dragon Army would have the audacity to lay a trap for us? Given to the minor number of their soldiers, we could save ourselves from getting overwrought."

"Yeah, that's right! That's right! Commander Zhou, could it be the bringing down to their knees in the battle of the Rough Slope make you act like an apprehensive wife? Hah-hah!"

The two Commanders took the chance to tease Commander Zhou in a split of a second.

"All is fair in war. It will not be extremely vigilant for us." Commander Zhou affirmed in a resolute look. He became exceedingly on his guard since he was shot down in the trap of the enemy last time in the clamor of the Rough Slope. He did not prefer to fall into the same old trap once again.

The two Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire looked at each other as they watched the insistence of Commander Zhou. They likewise considered it would be better to be more observant in the prevailing situation even though they did not reveal it on their face.

"Commander Zhou, you can lead your men to get through the fort if you insist. We will stand by guarding here outside the gate with the remaining soldiers for any emergency aid." The two Commanders did not choose to torment themselves in such drudgery. So they ducked shove the work to Commander Zhou since it was his idea in the first place.
