Of course, even if the Dragon Gateway were opened, the human army could choose not to break into it. But that didn't matter. The Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array had eight phalanxes that could fight craftily. Each one could fight on their own or they could join hands. The fighting power of multiple phalanxes would be doubled. Therefore, even if the enemy did not want to enter the array, the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array could still suppress them.
To put it bluntly, once the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array was activated, the human race's army would have a difficult time fighting back.
But little did Isabel know that Rocky had already anticipated her plan. He ordered the three armies to merge into one, because he knew that if he wanted to break through the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array, he had to risk his life to enter it.
Rocky also knew the reason why Isabel had opened the Dragon Gateway. She not only wanted the human army to enter it, but she also wanted to save face because the human army had broken through her mysterious military arrays many times before.
Because of that, Rocky felt no need to be polite to Isabel.
"Get into the array!" As soon as Rocky gave the order, the combined troops made up of the three armies grouped up and rushed into the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array. Within seconds, they had entered the Dragon Gateway.
Immediately, the troops made up of the three armies were attacked by the eight phalanxes of the spiritual race's army.
"Wait! How do we break this mysterious military array?" Eunice, who was leading the army with Rocky, asked over all the noise. She had no idea what to do next.
"Well, according to what I know about the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array, it should have been created based on the principle of the nine divisions of the sky and Eight Diagrams. If we want to break the array, we must find the core, which also called the life gate. Breaking the phalanx that hosts the life gate will destroy the array," Rocky answered.
"So you're saying that one of these eight phalanxes holds the life gate?" Eunice asked, looking at the armies all around her.
"Yes. You get it!" Rocky nodded.
"That's easy. We can just break the eight phalanxes one by one, right?" Kye said. A confused expression covered his face.
"If it were that easy, it wouldn't be called the mysterious military array. The life gate can change as the phalanxes move. So that means that the life gate may be in the phalanx in front of you now, but in a second, it will be located in another phalanx," Rocky explained, shaking his head plainly.
"That sounds like a challenge!" Maxwell exclaimed.
"Yes. That is why I need your cooperation." Rocky's eyes narrowed slightly. The task of finding the life gate while battling back the eight phalanxes would make it difficult for him to lead the army. So he had to ask Eunice and the other two to guide the operation of the three armies for him.
"Maxwell, you are the leader of the Shield Army. Eunice, you are the leader of the Changing Army, and Kye, you are the leader of the Swimming Army. You all must follow every order I give flawlessly. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to act without authorization. Otherwise, we won't be able to break the array," Rocky said, wearing a serious expression on his face.
The three of them nodded.
Meanwhile, Isabel was staring at the spot where the human race's army had entered the array with wide eyes. She had thought that they would fight against going inside it. After all, the power of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array was too strong for them to be able to break it, at least not easily. But unexpectedly, the human race's army had marched straight inside. She did not know where their confidence came from.
"I'll show you humans what overconfidence buys you! Thunder Phalanx, attack!" Isabel ordered in a cold voice.
Soon, from the eight phalanxes, soldiers and spirit warriors in blue clothes that were embroidered with the word "Thunder" stepped forward. They swarmed the troops of the three armies led by Rocky and attacked them relentlessly.
