"Me? I don't know any military tactics. Forget it!" Although Eunice wanted to lead the army to battle, she knew it wouldn't be as simple as she thought despite her experience on the battlefield.
"You don't need to use the mysterious military arrays. You just need to lead the army and take the initiative to attack!" Rocky explained. He had a vague feeling that the spiritual race's army had found out that he was using the mysterious military arrays to resist theirs. If he reused the same ones, they would surely have counterstrategies in place to deal with them. It would be akin to throwing the army into a fire.
"I see! Got it!" Eunice was relieved upon hearing this.
"Kye. Maxwell. You two will assist Eunice. Focus on slaughtering the spiritual race army's deputy commander this time..." Rocky ordered them both.
"Yes, sir." The duo nodded in unison.
"Basil, Eunice has yet to lead an army on her own. Shall we ask other deputy commanders to assist her?" a concerned Tucker asked.
"That won't be necessary. Don't underestimate Spiritual King Eunice. She's a disciple of the Di Clan!" Rocky answered with a smile.
"Oh yes, I nearly forgot!" Hearing this, Tucker remembered that Eunice was from the Di Clan. She was likely born to be a general.
"I'm leaving. Wait for me to return with good news!" Eunice exclaimed with a confident smile.
Then, accompanied by Kye and Maxwell, Eunice led a troop of five thousand soldiers out of the valley towards battle.
The two armies collided outside the Heavenly Rain Valley once more. This time, the mysterious military arrays the spiritual race army set up were different from the ones they previously used. They aimed to neither attack or defend, their position quite a peculiar one this time. It was shaped like a cracked mouth, with Deputy Commander Tu mounted on his horse in its center. Both his hands held a flag, one black and one white.
"Kill!" Eunice ordered and led the attack, as Rocky instructed her to.
Within the next moment, Eunice took the lead and headed all the soldiers straight towards the spiritual race army's strange formation.
"Split up!" Deputy Commander Tu was surprised that the human army had decided to attack so early on. He quickly raised the black flag he held in his left hand.
The front of the formation, which was originally shaped like a cracked mouth, quickly separated in two to form a huge gap as if waiting for the human race army to enter the entrance to its gaping jaws.
But Eunice didn't hesitate and headed straight into the gap along with the army she led.
It wasn't long before she met Deputy Commander Tu face-to-face.
"Unite!" He raised the white flag this time which signaled the soldiers to fill the gap where Eunice and her army entered the valley.
In the blink of an eye, Eunice and the army found themselves surrounded by the spiritual race's army.
"Such a beauty dares to head straight into the heart of our formation! Don't blame me for being brusque with you later!" Deputy Commander Tu commented with a suggestive smile plastered across his face as he saw the alluring woman leading the human army towards them.
"Shut up and fight me if you dare!" Eunice snorted to provoke him.
"What an ill-tempered girl! While I like you, I'll control myself. Your human army scum is useless and worthless anyway," he responded disdainfully.
