On the third day, it wasn't even before dawn when the Roaring Flame Empire launched a fierce attack. The attack came abruptly and crushed the second defense line of the Crimson Dragon Army. So far, the Crimson Dragon Army had lost more than eight thousand troops, while the Roaring Flame Empire lost less than five thousand.
As soon as the second line of defense had broken down, the remaining troops of the Crimson Dragon Army immediately retreated in a chaotic manner, running along a river that ran through the east and west. Later, they retreated into a depression, which was a low terrain with dense vegetation, struggling to form the third line of defense.
This depression was originally a large lake that connected the river, but because of the frequent flood during the flood season, this area was inconvenient for battles. So people constructed a dam to prevent natural disasters such as mountain flood and debris flow, which might be triggered during the flood season. As the time went by, the lake was drained and here the depression was formed.
Not long after the remaining troop of Crimson Dragon Army retreated into the depression, the leading army of Roaring Flame Empire arrived there too. They were the Blood Lord Army, pride of the Blood Lord Leo. Their advantage was that their number of warriors was far more than the Crimson Dragon Army's, having nearly twenty thousand. Now, in several groups, they were rushing into the depression like tidewater, shuttled through the dense woods, and surrounded the third line of defense of Crimson Dragon Army. Their intention was to annihilate the rest them in one go. There, they went straight to the camp.
Just when the Crimson Dragon Army formed their defensive line, the Blood Lord Army caught up. Then, the Crimson Dragon Army started a fierce offensive and defensive battle. There were flashes and glints of light everywhere.
Taking the advantage of arriving here first, Isis, the commander of this troop, was trying her best to lead her soldiers to resist the fierce attacks by mobilizing her troops and generals.
"Marin, go and take two thousand soldiers and these commanders. Retreat as planned. Hurry up, and I'll cover for you!" Isis instructed Marin in a controlled voice. Marin was standing firmly beside her. The expression on her face was trying to hide how worried she really was.
"No! You go first. I'll stay. It's too dangerous, and if we won't make it, then..." Marin refused, looking at Isis with concern visible in her face. Her voice was shaky but she tried to speak in a low tone to control it.
"No, I believe in Rocky's plan. It will work. Don't worry. Hurry up!" Isis urged, her eyes were pleading. Before Marin said anything more, she had jumped and sprinted towards the enemies, instructing two other masters of the Heavenly Stage to follow her. Together, they created chaos and covered the retreat of Marin and two thousand troops.
Unexpectedly, an extraordinary figure showed up on the dam which was only a few meters away from the depression. The figure's eyes were shining as it faced the depression. Furious fire and loud shrieks of pain filled the sky.
The figure that emerged just now was Allen, the head of Elite Regiment. He walked in perfect posture beaming confidence.
"Come out! Crystal Water Dragon!" Allen concentrated to gather the spirit, then a strong spiritual power spread around. In a crack, a water colored beast with a long neck came out and dived into the river around the dam, submerging into the deep.
The next moment, the vast river around the dam suddenly began to rotate like a vortex. Then, a water dragon soared into the sky and kept twisting and shaking in the air. The figure of the Crystal Water Dragon emerged from the vortex and dozens of water dragons flew rapidly in the air with astonishing momentum. In the blink of an eye, they shot out and rushed straight to the dam.
Boom, boom, boom! There were loud explosions everywhere. The scene was turning more chaotic as people ran around in panic.
After a series of violent bangs, the strong dam was on the verge of collapse. A stream of water started to gush out from the cracks of the dam. Next, the whole dam completely collapsed, and the river water flowed violently, quickly spreading to the downstream and all around.
