Everyone present looked in the direction where Rocky was pointing and a surprised expression instantly showed on their faces. After all, Rocky was pointing at the Celestial Gate Position, which was known to be guarded by a grand commander.
The Celestial Gate Position was the core of the entire left army, and it indeed held much significance. There were eighty thousand soldiers stationed there, and even eighty thousand soldiers of the spiritual race might not be able to conquer it.
"You don't need to worry that much, Basil. The army of the spiritual race will not be stupid enough to attack the Celestial Gate Position."
"I agree. The military strength of the Celestial Gate Position is on par with that of the spiritual race army. Even if they somehow decided to attack it, it would be impossible for them to take it down."
"Stop being paranoid, Basil."
Obviously, most of the people present didn't believe what Rocky just said. In their opinion, it was the most impossible thing to happen.
"Well, I refuse to think that something would be impossible. Besides, I'm just trying to tell you what I have deducted. I am not forcing anyone to believe in it," Rocky responded coldly.
"Basil! You and Eunice can leave for now to take some rest." Bertram immediately interfered as he noticed that the atmosphere had been a little tense when they heard what Rocky had to say earlier.
Without saying anything, Rocky just nodded and left together with Eunice.
"I actually thought that Basil is more experienced and powerful than this. It seems that he is still an impulsive young man."
"That's right. He doesn't even take Commander Wei seriously."
The deputy commanders under Fraser's command could not help but make ugly remarks against Rocky.
"It is good to be young and confident. However, arrogance can only cause harm!" Fraser said sternly. Although he didn't really show any obvious displeasure towards Rocky, it was obvious that he didn't have a good impression of the young man.
"That is indeed true. Don't worry. I'll be sure to remind him about this later." Bertram could just smile helplessly and nod perfunctorily.
Then, as soon as Rocky and Eunice walked out of the camp, Eunice was not able to suppress her emotions anymore and said, "Those guys think that they are so remarkable and knowledgeable just because they led the army for a few years! I, for one, also think that nothing is impossible."
"There's no need to debate on that. We will know soon enough whether I am right or wrong," Rocky replied indifferently.
"Hmm. But why are you so sure that the troops of the spiritual race want to attack the Celestial Gate Position?" Eunice took the opportunity to ask.
"It's just my intuition," Rocky said bluntly. After all, he had already developed a keen sense of intuition from all the battles and deceptive strategies that he encountered all the years on the battlefield.
"Ha-ha! I guessed so." Eunice laughed as she tried to tease Rocky.
Without saying a word, Rocky just smiled and continued walking.
Soon enough, they were able to reach their camps, and they took the chance to have a good rest.
