Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 465

Congruently, the critical responsibility of leading the army had fallen into the hands of Isis, due to Rocky's absence. Rocky had sneaked away despite being of utmost importance for the army. Since he was the one who had led the Crimson Dragon Army to recapture the Hippo Land, his army was in dire need of him.

That night, Isis left a garrison of less than a thousand soldiers to guard the Hippo Land. She led the remaining seven thousand soldiers for the Dead Silence Mount. Her plan was to attack the Dead Silence Mount before the garrison at this strong point transported the grain and supplies to the army of the Timber Deity Empire.

This strategy adopted was as quoted by Rocky from the Art of Wars, 'Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao.' The idea here was to avoid a head on battle with a strong enemy, and instead to strike hard at its weakness.

Isis had led the army to the pitch camps quite extraordinarily. She made her arrival at the Dead Silence Mount two days later. The design of the deployment and arrays were to launch the attack with high momentum.

The garrison of the Timber Deity Empire at the Dead Silence Mount constituted less than five thousand soldiers. They were in a sudden panic as the Crimson Dragon Army advanced into the city gate. They dispatched an emergency report addressing the main force of the Timber Deity Empire, who were at the Nine Grottoes expecting the reinforcement of grain and supplies for them.

Shortly afterwards, Alyssa, who was the leader of the main force of the Timber Deity Empire, in charge of conquering the Nine Grottoes, received the information from the Dead Silence Mount.

At that moment, Alyssa was pondering for a counter strategy at the campsite of the main force of the Timber Deity Empire in the Nine Grottoes. She was inside the camp of Commander in Chief and beside her, was seated a young handsome man in another chair.

Rocky would have gotten surprised if he saw this handsome young man seated beside Alyssa. This young man was none other than Woods, who led the garrison of the Timber Deity Empire that withdrew from the Hippo Land recently.

"Alyssa, I can't believe that you too are getting trapped in a conundrum." Frowning upon the quagmire, Woods looked at Alyssa and let out a sonorous laugh like a childish on-looker.

"I would have attacked the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army by now if you didn't have abandoned the Hippo Land. It was all your fault," Alyssa glared at Woods. The loss of the Hippo Land had already put her into an impasse. Yet, the Crimson Dragon Army attacked the Dead Silence Mount in an attempt to sever the supplies as they accurately predicted that the main force of the Timber Deity Empire were in need of the grain and supplies. The Dead Silence Mount was the only strong point where they could expect the reinforcement of grain and other supplies. It would seriously constrain the main force of the Timber Deity Empire once the Dead Silence Mount fell into the hands of the Crimson Dragon Army.

Unless the grain and other supplies were reinforced, the main force of the Timber Deity Empire could never advance to attack the main camp of the Crimson Dragon Army at the frontline.

"You can't blame me for that. What else could I have done since they were powerful enough to break through your invincible Magic Lotus Array? All I could have done under the situation was to lead the army for a safe retreat." Woods shrugged his shoulders as he replied light-heartedly.

"Did you say that it was a young man of a surname as Bai who broke through my Magic Lotus Array?" Alyssa heard from Woods in detail about the losses they encountered at the Hippo Land. What surprised her most was the fact that her Magic Lotus Array was broken through by someone. Ever since she had created the Magic Lotus Array, this was something that had never happened before. The array was successful in defeating the Crimson Dragon Army many times before. However, the Magic Lotus Array was actually broken through by someone from the Crimson Dragon Army in the battle of the Hippo Land. That was something really hard for her to believe.

On top of that, she was really confused as to why such a figure did not appear before. He seemed to pop up from nowhere just to break through her Magic Lotus Array and recapture the Hippo Land for the Crimson Dragon Army.

However, what had worried her the most was the identity of the young man who led the Crimson Dragon Army to break through her Magic Lotus Array. He also had a surname as Bai.

Alyssa acquired the information from her spy about the young man who helped the Crimson Dragon Army relieve the besiegement of the Rough Slope. He had a surname as Bai, but according to the information received, he was not a Commander of the Crimson Dragon Group.
