Chapter 234 Outstanding Capabilities


    By now, Rocky had seen through the current situation. The White Army had four troops while the ck


    Army only had two troops left. He could reasonably conclude that the military strength of the White


    Army was twice that of the ck Army. And once the White Army mounted a siege with all its forces


    aimed towards one of the ck Army''s troops, thetter would bepletely wiped out. And if the


    remaining troop of the ck Army faced the same odds, he would be powerless. So even though


    Rocky had five army gs, it would be pointless without any troops at hismand.


    "How much time do we have left?" Rocky immediately asked, turning to the soldier beside him. Even


    though time was short, he hoped he would still be able to make it.


    "About two hours," the soldier responded politely.


    "There''s not enough time left. However, if we raid them by surprise, like an ambush, we may still have a


    chance to win thepetition," Rocky murmured contemtively. Staring into the distance and lost in


    thought, he knew that he had toe up with a strategy to tip the scales back to their favor.


    Finally, he looked up. "Brothers, it''s show time! Do you want to win thispetition?!" Rocky shouted


    over the ranks, aiming to lift his soldiers'' spirit. It was absolutely imperative that he boost troop morale


    first so that the soldiers would obey his orders unfailingly.


    "Yes, we do!" hundreds of soldiers yelled back in unison. Each of them were hungry for the final victory,


    eager to prove themselves victorious inbat.


    "Good! That''s exactly what I want! However! We still have one thing to do. We need to root out one of


    the White Army''s troops before the four of them gather together. But for that, I need fifty able-bodied


    soldiers tounch a suicide attack. Understand, however, that though you won''t actually die, this means


    that you won''t be able to fight to the end with your brethren soldiers. But I promise your sacrifices will


    lead to the final victory for us. Who are willing to make this ultimate sacrifice? Step forward!" Rocky''s


    In an instant, at least two hundred soldiers stepped forward, willing toy themselves on the line to


    perform the suicide attack. Morale in Rocky''s troop was high from their winning streak. And as ardent


    youths, they were all eager for the final victory with the ck Army. Hence, they were willing to


    sacrifice their lives if necessary.


    Rocky selected fifty of his fastest runners among the two hundred soldiers. These men would be the


    bait to attract three of the White Army''s troops, which had just besieged the other remaining ck


    Army troop. It was the runners'' task to drag away the three troops so that they couldn''t join in the battle


    against the other ck Army troop, which was led by Commander Cao. Ultimately, the mission actually


    called for them to buy time for the main force through a suicide feint.


    In no time at all, the fifty men selected for the maneuver departed, eager to sacrifice themselves in the


    name of victory.


    Meanwhile, Rocky led the remaining soldiers. They would be the reinforcements to aid the


    besieged ck troop in the valley.


    Upon arrival at the valley, Rocky''s men hid at a blind spot and observed the White Army''s movements.


    The troop of the White Army was still attacking violently. Though it was the lone troop remaining here,


    the overrun numbers of the ck Army was already almostpletely depleted of physical strength.


    What were once three set lines of defense had now dwindled down to a single line. The condition for


    the ck Army was critical, and the odds were that they would be defeated in short order.


    Rocky knew the severity of the situation and that it was urgent. He ordered his soldiers to stand by as


    he sneaked from one side of the valley down to the valley floor. This area was guarded by the ck


    Army troop.


    It wasn''t long before Rocky appeared before Commander Cao.


    At the sight of him, Commander Cao was startled. He asked with a frown, "Why are you here? How did


    you get by our defensive line?" The troop''sst line of defense had never given way, and no one should


    have been able to prate it.


    "There''s not much time. I''ll make this quick. Now listen," Rocky told him urgently. He had observed that


    Commander Cao was a spirit maniptor at the Heavenly Stage. Therefore, he must be one of the


    strongest among the Frontline Commanders.


    Commander Cao was rather displeased as Rockyid out his ns and dictated military affairs in his


    troop. With a scoff of arrogance, Commander Cao disdainfully dismissed Rocky''s words.


    "If you don''t want to lose thepetition, you''d better listen to me!" Rocky retorted coldly, annoyed by


    Commander Cao''s terrible attitude.


    "Oh splendid, are you saying that I won''t lose if I listen to a breeder''s n? What a joke...!"


    Commander Cao sneered. He was a man who had always taken himself too seriously, and was


    absolutely unwilling to kowtow and obey Rocky''s orders. At any rate, he was already convinced that the


    ck Army was about to lose and that this was merely hisst stand.


    "Is that right? Well I have five White Army gs and you have only one. And for the moment, we have


    the same number of gs as the White Army, which means that at this very moment, we haven''t lost


    thispetition yet," Rocky stated with finality.


    "You have five army gs?! What in the world?! How could you have possibly taken five gs?!"


    Commander Cao gasped, astounded at Rocky''s words and unable to believe his ears.


    "Because I''ve wiped out two White Army troops, that''s how," Rocky retorted without batting an eye.


    "Two White Army troops?! How could a breeder possibly have managed that?" Commander Cao could


    scarcely hide his astonishment. In this situation, he could only protect his own troop. He had never


    even considered that Rocky had any capability to annihte two White Army troops on his own.


    It was now that Commander Cao recalled that Rocky had initially appeared walking alongside Isis. It


    put everything to a new light. ''The identity he gave us must have been a ruse and merely a tactic.


    Calling himself a breeder of the northeast military camp was his cover.'' At this unpleasant thought, he


    became hesitant. He was about to lose this battle, after all. If Rocky was really as capable a man in the


    art of warfare as Commander Cao spected, then maybe, together, they stood a chance to win the


    "What''s your n, then?" Commander Cao demanded.


    "Take out yourst line of defense. Now is the time to take the initiative and attack. Once you attract the


    White Army troop, I will trigger a surprise raid at their rear with my men. We''ll close in on them, and we


    must end the battle as quickly as possible," Rocky replied as sinctly as he could.


    Commander Cao thought over Rocky''s n, which aimed to take the troop of the White Army


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    unguarded andpel them to surrender to the trap. The n really made sense. And as Commander


    Cao himself has already been at the end of his resources, he agreed to put Rocky''s n into action.


    After all, it was the honor and duty of a soldier to fight to thest moment.


    After getting Commander Cao''s confirmation, Rocky carefully made his way back to his own troop. He


    disseminated the details about the surprise attack, held in coboration with Commander Cao''s own


    troop.


    As all this was happening, the three White Army troops that had besieged another ck Army troop


    was on their way to join forces with their brethren. At this point, they believed that victory was a


    foregone conclusion and their morale was high. In actuality, they had no idea that the White Army had


    already lost two of their troops and one more would soon be wiped out by the joint forces of Rocky and


    Commander Cao.


    Meanwhile the suicide raid team from the ck Army was approaching their position before the White


    Army troops. Their task was simple: to pin them right where they were and buy as much time as they


    could for Rocky and Commander Cao.


    It wasn''t long before the White Army''s scouts started to discover the trails and traces left behind


    purposefully by the suicide team, and alerted the rest of their men.


    Once the Commanders of the White Army were informed, they suspected that two ck Army troops


    were nearby. Without a moment''s hesitation, they directed their troops to set out to find those troops


    and retrieve their gs. But their greed was to be their downfall. They had no idea that by rerouting


    their men, they had just left one of their own troops as a sitting duck, waiting to be defeated.


    In the valley, Commander Cao waited for the most opportune moment and removed the line of defense


    as Rocky had instructed. Chaos reigned as the ck Army troop fell upon the White Army troop at full


    force.


    Themander of the White Army felt as though this was the ck Army''sst hurrah, and so he


    began.


    Thebat ensued, with the White Army''s Commander unaware that he had fallen neatly into Rocky''s


    trap.
