Chapter 237 It Was Him
Disappointment and shock were evident in the faces of the three ghastly pale Commanders of the
White Army at the awful sight of their severely injured vanguard. The devastating fate was effortlessly
done by the ck Army without losing any of their soldiers. The White Army had to retract their
vanguard to n a better strategy for a counterattack.
After a thorough discussion, they prepared inbat forming a strategic array to fight the ck Army.
Though they were confident and determined, they were still bewildered what made the ck Army
invulnerable in the battle.
Considering the capabilities of the three Commanders, they could only do the most ordinary and
simplest arrays. As a matter of fact, those were not arrays at all. Though they were not good at using
arrays, giving up was not appropriate. Least of all did they want their opponents win the final battle. The
ck Army had seven army gs standing in their array. With only five gs on the other side, even a
draw was far-fetched.
Given the difficult circumstance, the White Army must break the solidarity of the weird array to disperse
the ck Army. This was the only way the White Army could have an opportunity to use their superior
military strength and defeat the ck Army with full advantage.
With this goal in mind, the three Commanders led their respective troops to form an array for attack.
They carefully moved towards the Eight Heaven Locks Array. Driven by a burning passion, they
forwarded with eagerness to break through it. As agreed by the three Commanders, the sessful
troop would obtain all the army gs of the ck Army and Dark Heaven Eggs.
When both arrays were formed on both sides, the intense battlemenced.
The crowd on the grandstand were astounded at the effective defense of the ck Army''s weird array
despite being outnumbered by the White Army.
Isis gasped in astonishment, "Oh, what array is this?" Still stunned by the performance she said to
herself, "I''ve never seen that before in any of the books I''ve read about tactics." The array was an
unconventionalbination of attack and defense, detailed in an airtight and organized manner. It was
amazing indeed. Isis released an inaudible sigh at the impressive scene on the training ground. Her
umted knowledge from extensive reading of military books since childhood made her well-versed
on the study of arrays. Her eyes widened upon witnessing the unique performance. She never
encountered such a weird array in the books she read. The exceptional array was wless. Isis could
not see a way to prate it. It was almost perfectly done and unbreakable.
The array was unquestionably impressive but Isis was more interested to know the man behind the
great invention. There were two Commanders of the ck Army, the battle-scarred veteran
Commander Cao and an inexperienced neophyte named Rocky. Given the intricate details of the array,
she would not wonder if it was a genius work of Commander Cao. However, from what she knew of
Commander Cao, he wouldn''t take such a risky defense with an array. She couldn''t fathom nor easily
ept the fact that this weird yet spectacr move was Rocky''s idea. While it may be true that Rocky
was excellent in tactics, he didn''t have extensive leadership experience. Should the intricacy be
destroyed or any glitch be spotted in the array, the opponent would make sure the loophole would be
used to their full advantage. With this in mind, Isis convinced herself that the excellent array was more
likely formed by Commander Cao rather than Rocky.
Her mind couldn''t be at peace as her biased conclusion did not agree with her guts. She knew deep
inside that it was Rocky''s great idea. She just couldn''t ept it.
A familiar voice came from a distance, "How is the Army g Contest?" Curiosity and excitement
resounded in his tone. The man resembling a dignified figure was among the crowd who was so
engrossed in watching the fierce battle in the training ground. His arrival at the tform shocked the
people around him with his strong aura at the Divine Stage. Everyone was drawn back from their
thoughts and turned to look at him in awe.
His momentum was so strong that it seemed to be able to shroud an area all around. It seemed as if
his appearance could throw everything into the shade.
When the crowd heard the powerful voice, it stole their attention. They turned to him and paid respect.
They shouted in unison with vigor, "Commander in Chief!"
The respectable man was Lance Liu, the esteemed Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon
Group. He projected a reserved and veracious demeanor. For Isis, however, he was a strict yet
softhearted father.
Lance was tall and slender with bony features. He was delicate with refined temperament making him
look way much younger than his age of seventy. He must have been a very good-looking man in his
prime. It was hard to believe that a learned and refined man like him was the Commander in Chief of
the Crimson Dragon Group. Nheless, his presence effortlessly influenced other people''s spirit.
After all, he earned respect and carried an aura of a Commander in Chief who led a big army. However,
the momentum released from his body put people under great pressure. With no need for ring up, his
dignity made other people revere. Specifically, this was the imposing manner exclusive to a
Commander in Chief who was the leader of a big army.
"Father, what brought you here?" Isis asked wearing a gentle smile as she saw his father.
Lance had nevere to watch the Army g Contest. After all, thepetitions among Frontline
Commanders were too boring for Lance as a Commander In Chief with meritorious achievements.
They were nothing more than trifling matters for him, so Lance wasn''t keen and interested to watch the

Army g Contest.
"Oh, just dropping by. I remembered the Army g Contest is held today, so I decided to have a look,"
Lance amiably said. It appeared that he was easy to get along with.
"Father, since you are here, what do you think about the array over there?" Isis asked candidly while
pointing at the direction of the final battle.
"Array? When does arrays start to appear at the Army g Contest?" Lance asked with curiosity. He
gazed at the training ground and surveyed the area without a flinch. He spotted the array formed by the
ck Army. He himself had never seen such one before.
His eyes lit up in amazement as he carefully observed the array. "What a sharp array," he said curtly.
When the crowd heard Lance''sment, they were surprised all the more. His credibility strengthened
their thoughts about the extraordinary prowess of the ck Army''s array. Witnessing its mortality
coupled by Lance''s words, they were more convinced that the array was more powerful than they
thought.
"Father, do you know this array? What is it called?" Isis asked her Father since they apparently shared
the same notion.
Lance shook his head suspiciously without withdrawing his focus on the Eight Heaven Locks Array. He
exined, "Though I haven''t seen this array before, I can tell the array could be used on both attack
and defense. Moreover, it is flexible. Its defense is secured against assault; its attack is waged after
pinning down the enemy. He moved his eyes from one side to another while nodding his head as if
agreeing with something. "This is a perfect array, so nothing could defeat it."
Lance turned to his daughter and asked, "Isis, did you teach Commander Marin this array?" Lance had
been asked for his opinion since they alwayspared their ideas about arrays. It wouldn''t be a
surprise to him if the array was Isis'' masterpiece. In Lance''s eyes, it was not surprising that Isis, who
was extremely intelligent, was able to create such a perfect array.
"Commander Marin is absent today," She said tersely without directly answering the question. Reading
what was running on his father''s head, she quickly added, "Father, it''s not me." She wanted to add ''It is
Rocky''s idea. With this great job, he''s definitely better than me.'' but she held her tongue bitten keeping
the painful thought to herself. In fact, startled at the array, she conceded in heart that Rocky was better
qualified than her.
"Oh? Is that so? Who organizes the array then?" he replied immediately with astonishment. He was so
surprised that one of the Frontline Commanders of the Crimson Dragon Group was even more
talented people.
"I''m not sure but there are only two Commanders of the ck Army, so it must be one of them," Isis
pointed out. Her voice was tainted with jealousy but tried her best to set aside her emotions while
dealing with her father''s questions.
"Who are they?" Lance shot her a look demanding an answer. He was eager to know the gifted man
behind the amazing array.
"One is Commander Cao and the other is the representative of the northeast military camp sent by
Commander Marin," Isis responded quickly.
"The representative of the northeast military camp? Who is he?" Lance repeated as if digging for more
information. His eyes reflected aroused curiosity to know the representative. Commander Cao was
Lance''s subordinate and had been in the army for many years so he knew his capability very clearly.
He naturally excluded him and apparently, the creator must be the representative of the northeast
military camp.
Isis met his father''s gaze. She walked up to him, reached for his ears and whispered a few words.
"It was him?" Lance murmured in amazement. He knew that the representative of the northeast military
camp was Rocky, the man whose identity was confidential.
