"Stop attacking! Everybody, fall in!" Rocky bellowed his order, raising his left arm.
The troops of the Crimson Dragon Army halted in their tracks when they heard the order. They gathered in front of Rocky in an orderly manner from the left, middle and the right directions.
At this precise moment, they were only two or three hundred meters away from the camp of the defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire.
"This array looks somewhat like the array you taught me last time," Marin said and glanced at Rocky after surveying the Magic Lotus Array formed by the defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire.
Rocky nodded in response to her. The Magic Lotus Array in display seemed very powerful, with a combination of both attacking and defending effects. This was quite similar to the Eight Heaven Locks Array, despite their different principles.
He had no difficulty in figuring out who had arranged the array.
As a name flashed through his mind, his eyes froze for a moment. He then walked towards the array after passing through the troops of the Crimson Dragon Army who were waiting patiently for his next order.
"Rocky Bai," Marin called his name in a hushed tone as she realized that he was heading towards their enemy all alone.
A few spirit manipulators in the Crimson Dragon Army started following him with the intention of protecting him. But he dissuaded them by saying, "No one needs to follow me." Saying this, he continued to walk forward until he was only a few meters away from the array.
"Woods," Rocky called out all of a sudden.
A few moments later, a crack suddenly appeared from the array. A slim gentleman-like figure walked slowly through the crack. As Rocky expected, the person was Woods.
"Commander Bai, it seems that I've underestimated you!" Woods sighed, glancing at Rocky in astonishment, though outwardly he managed to look calm and steady as always. It seemed that he had least expected Rocky to destroy the defense lines that he had elaborately arranged, without any difficulty and in no time. The reason for his delayed appearance at the battlefield was that he had run across a beautiful spirit manipulator at the Supernal Stage, to whom he was attracted.
Nevertheless, he could not help but respect and admire Rocky. It was not until a while ago that he realized that on previous occasions Rocky had made the Crimson Dragon army make repeated mock attacks on them as a preparation for today's real attack. These repeated attacks made the defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire less and less vigilant. In spite of Woods' reminder to Commander Wei to make the defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire on full alert, they had been hoodwinked by the pretended attacks and could not respond in a timely manner.
Also, burning the transport ships was also a part of Rocky's master plan that exactly hit the defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire. The reason why the Timber Deity Empire chose Hippo Land was to accelerate the transportation of their food, provisions and troops to the main force. Thus, their main force would occupy the strategic forts of the Crimson Dragon Army one by one without worrying about logistics.
Rocky knew exactly how important the transport ships were to the Timber Deity Empire and had taken advantage of it by igniting them so as to distract the attention of the defending troops at the camp. As a result, they didn't notice the Crimson Dragon Army had already destroyed their defense lines at a rapid speed.
In this way, Rocky commenced the operation at somewhere else to distract his enemy, making the defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire suffer a great loss.
Undoubtedly, the defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire might not have suffered so much loss if Commander Wei hadn't dispatched troops to fight against the Crimson Dragon Army. By now, the Crimson Dragon Army had almost reached their camp.
The defending troops of the Timber Deity Empire were in great danger.
