Seeing this, Rocky immediately began chanting the Buddhist Spell. As he chanted, the Buddha shadow fell from the sky and joined Rocky's army. With the power of the Buddha shadow helping them, it became easier for them to fight the army of the spiritual race.
"Almost done!" After seeing that the spiritual race's troops had been successfully suppressed, Rocky used his spiritual sense and ordered the spiritual beast troops that were hidden not far from the west of the blockade position to quickly attack the enemy from behind.
The spiritual race army was already dedicating their full attention to the fight in front of them, and didn't expect that there would be an ambush from behind. Since it was a surprise attack, there was a spread of disarray among the spiritual race army, and they lost their combat power at once.
Now that the morale of his soldiers was relatively high, Rocky wanted to keep it that way, so he began chanting the poem "Are You Not Battle-dressed." "Are you not battle-dressed? Let's share the coat and vest! We shall go up the line. Let's make our lances shine! Your foe is mine."
As Rocky chanted the poem, every word that escaped his lips turned into a golden ray of light that shone forward and slowly enveloped his generals and soldiers, igniting them with a passion to fight.
With the newfound fervor that the rays of light equipped them with, their attacks became much fiercer.
As Rocky's army fought fervidly, the gap in strength between them and the spiritual race army kept reducing. Seizing this opportunity, Rocky led his one thousand soldiers forward to launch a counterattack.
The attacks of the spiritual beast army were strong, and their defense was outstanding. Moreover, their individual strength far surpassed that of any member of the spiritual race. Now that they were gathered as an army and operating with the utmost teamwork, the spiritual race army didn't stand a chance against them.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the spiritual race army had lost its upper hand and become the weaker side. The scales of victory gradually tilted to Rocky's side.
Seeing this, the deputy commander of the spiritual race army roared with resentment. However, he wasn't ready to give up. Gathering all his strength at the premium stage of the Spiritual Infant, he led his army to launch a fierce counterattack against Rocky's army.
Unfortunately for him, with the help of the Army-blessing Scroll and the mysterious military arrays, Rocky's army had reached the pinnacle of their defense power. With such invincibility, it was no sweat for them to resist the violent bombard of attacks from the spiritual race army.
At the same time, under Rocky's orders, the rear troops led by Moore successfully approached the edge of the blockade area of the spiritual race army as planned. From there, they were ready to join forces with Marcia's troops, who would break out of the encirclement at any time.
While leading his troops to the edge of the blockade area of the spiritual race army, Moore released a slew of fireworks that could be seen clearly even amidst the thick curtain of fog.
On the other side, Marcia's troops, who were already well-prepared and waiting for a signal, broke out of the encirclement as soon as they caught sight of the fireworks. At this time, the soldiers from the spiritual race were fully focused on fighting Rocky's bait troops, so they did not notice what was going on in the rear end, where the real rescue troops were about to join forces with Marcia's troops.
The two troops led by Moore and Marcia simultaneously broke through the blockade of the spiritual race army and soon converged, forming an enormous force to be reckoned with.
Only then did the spiritual race army realize that they had been tricked. Nevertheless, they had no choice but to forge on with the battle. Thinking on their feet, they swiftly gathered together to intercept the human army.
However, by the time the reinforcements of the spiritual race arrived, it was too late. They found that the place where the human army had been encircled was empty, save for several corpses.
Meanwhile, Rocky's human troops as well as his spiritual beast troops continued to fight with the spiritual race army head-on without retreating, because this was only the beginning of their operation plan.
The success of Marcia's troops in breaking out of the encirclement was only the first step. After joining forces with Moore's troops, they suddenly disappeared. In fact, the two troops were hiding in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to attack.
Rocky estimated that as soon as Marcia's troops successfully broke through the encirclement and found a chance, they would target the deputy commander of the spearhead of the spiritual race army. As long as they could defeat the deputy commander, the spearhead of the spiritual race army would be easy to take down; they would be running around like chickens without their heads.
