Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 397

The fire tornado didn't last for a lengthy time. However, most of the soldiers Commander Zhou led gathered closely on one spot. As a result, the fire tornado caused an enormous loss to his army. More than a thousand soldiers perished, and there were fewer than two thousand members left now.

One more layer of dead bodies covered the ground of the north gate where numerous corpses already gathered around. The coverage of those corpses even stretched inside the Wild Heaven Pass. The lifeless bodies, which sprawled along the trace of the fire tornado, had all been scorched black and were smoking. They still remained the last position that they posed before death. Everything went on so quick like lightning to them that none of them were even capable to grapple. That was the formidable and aggressive power of the fire tornado.

When the fire tornado finally ebbed away, Commander Zhou already led the left soldiers to back off from the Wild Heaven Pass and found the Timber Deity Army outside. Although they had been out of danger, they nevertheless had glimpses that portrayed terror-stricken as puffing and panting for air. The tragedy they just experienced was still striking in their heads.

"Commander Zhou, what happened inside?" The two commanders of the Timber Deity Empire had been curious about the situation inside. Now that Commander Zhou eventually got out, they could not help but want to know the answer from him. They already knew that he just suffered an ambush, but they pretended they knew nothing at all. Because the fire sea blocked their way into the pass, they didn't come to his aid and his army right away. Thus, they put on a false front, perceiving nothing to evade that ill at ease.

"We got a surprise attack! It sounded that their reinforcements already showed up. The Crimson Dragon Army pretended to have withdrawn to pull a fast one on us. We fell in their trap and got hemmed in by them. By good luck, we merely lost some of our men. It's unquestionably a close call." Commander Zhou was still gasping for air with a pale face. Jitteriness still tormented him as he remembered the spine chilling sense.

"Where is the fire tornado from? That's really dreadful!" asked one of the two commanders, with a shocked look. His brain was stuttering for a moment. Every part of him went on hiatus while his thoughts catch up.

"I don't perceive about that! But I'm beyond doubt it must relate to that guy!" Commander Zhou knitted brows deeply. The guy he gave reference to, of course, was Rocky.

"What guy?" The two commanders were both caused to be at a stand by Commander Zhou.

"Let's converse about that later. We should go back to our place first. Now that their reinforcements come, it's harder for us to take down the Wild Heaven Pass." Commander Zhou shook head weakly.

"Hold on! We didn't see any of their reinforcements just then. Maybe this is their trick!"

"That's highly possible. Apart from the fire tornado, we saw nothing extraordinary!"

The two commanders could not help but begin suspecting.

"Be my guest! You two can investigate the situation inside if you want. I will never set my foot to hell again!" Commander Zhou shot a frosty stare at them before he drove his army to go back to their place.

The two commanders peered at each other with fretfulness expressions. Neither of them preferred to take the risk that the Crimson Dragon Army's reinforcements might indeed show up. If that were the situation, entering the pass only meant to commit suicide. Of course, they were not that slow-witted. Casting a glimmer at the Wild Heaven Pass in front of them, they were hardly resigned to leave away like this. The fierce fire sea in the city gate barred their way into the pass. It was so close, but they could not occupy this place.

Both of the commanders deeply sighed before they withdrew.

Silence now filled inside the Wild Heaven Pass. It lingered in the air, thick and heavy, like a blanket. Everything on the ground where the fire tornado went past was all burned into ashes, except a figure and a spirit-manipulated beast standing together in the center of the pass. Both of them looked a little exhausted. As seeing the Timber Deity Army had backed down, the figure finally exhaled a gasp of relief. His lips curved upwards slightly as he glimpsed at the Dragon Flame Pearl, which had gone back to his hand.

"The Dragon Flame Pearl is magnificent! I can't believe that I can exert such power of this even though it's my first time to use it!" Rocky marveled.

Upon her return, Isis was greeted with Rocky, Marin, and the hundreds of soldiers standing at the center of the pass. She then ordered Silver Wind to land on the ground. As she hopped down, her elegant posture lightened the glowing admiration in those soldiers' eyes. Something emanated from within that rendered her fascinating to them.

"How about the adversary?" Isis wended her way in front of Rocky and Marin and glimmered at the north gate being closed by Dunn.

"They have withdrawn," Rocky responded as he held his arms across his chest.

Hearing Rocky, Isis sighed out of relief. She could not help but marvel at Rocky's intelligence in mind. He merely led hundreds of soldiers to repel the Timber Deity Army again.

"It's not the time to have a relax! Their retreat is just momentary. They will doubtless send soldiers to check out our situation. Deputy Commander in Chief, I require you to assign the two thousand soldiers from the valley to here. Be swift! We are going to put on a play for the Timber Deity Empire," Rocky uttered as raising his eyebrow.

"Put on a play? What play?" Isis wore a bewildered look.

"Don't get yourself worked up with that, Isis! He must be the main actor in the play," Marin sneered. She always found intolerable that Rocky only said part of his plan to intrigue others.

"Nope! You two are the heroines in the play." A calculating smirk crept over the corner of Rocky's lips.
