Chapter 348 Army Forces
"Is it? Why does the Deputy Commander in Chief want to set her eyes on me that badly?" Rocky
inquired with a baffled face. Although he had no slightest idea about what Isis wanted to do, he could
tell that it must be something perturbing.
"It may interest the emergency that the Timber Deity Empire has thronged round the Rough Slope."
Louis didn''t find out from Isis why she desired to see Rocky, but he fathomed that it was presumably
about the Rough Slope.
"How''s that developing?" Rocky sought out of turmoil. His mind was yet a surging perplexity.
"Half a month ago, we lost the Rough Slope. Commander Marin guided the northeast army to take it
from the Timber Deity Empire. However, two dayster, the Timber Deity Empire came back and
hounded the Rough Slope with twenty thousand soldiers. Commander Marin and the northeast army
are still under their encirclement till now. I was made aware yesterday that the northeast army had no
more food already. I presume they could not bear any longer." Louis responded to Rocky.
"Then why doesn''t the Deputy Commander in Chief send them any reinforcements?" Rocky inquired.
"I am clueless about that. You can go ask the Deputy Commander in Chiefter." Louis nodded his
head and added, "You''d better go to the front-line headquarters first. I''ll prepare a horse with immediate

effect." He then departed from the tent instantly and assigned a soldier to lead a horse out of the
stable.
Rocky rode on the horse and reached the front-line headquarters before nightfall.
As Isis received the information about Rocky''s appearance, she directed her subordinate to take him
into her tent and released the others. However, as she watched Rocky stride into her tent, she was
raging with outrage. She disyed a glum expression while peering at him. As shortly as Rocky
strutted in front of her, she yelped at him, "It''s so hard to locate you, huh?"
Rocky peered the vivid frenzy on her face, but he yet maintained his serenity. With a mild smirk, he sat
down on a chair beside and again swung to gaze at Isis and asked, "Don''t consume your precious time
going wild at me. Why don''t you deliver reinforcements to the Rough Slope?"
"Well, you have gotten wind of that already." Isis shook her head and then proceeded, "It''s not that I
don''t want to. It''s I can''t! It is a setup arrayed by the Timber Deity Empire. That''s why they now
enclosed the Rough Slope. If I send the reinforcement there, the army forces on our front line will
be faulty. That''s specifically what they crave. Then they can inaugurate raids at the Crimson
Dragon Group."
"So you propose to leave aside the northeast army and do nothing at all?" Rocky inquired, squinting his
eyes.
"How can I turn my back on them? Of course, I want to rescue them. I want to rescue Marin! But I am
perplexed about what I should do at all! Otherwise, why would I desire to see you so seriously?" Isis
howled at Rocky with wide eyes. Anger sparks were zing in her eyes.
"Why do you make me take all the responsibility?" Rocky''s eyebrows knitted together.
"Of course, you are ountable! If you had shown up a day earlier, the northeast army could have
been rescued one day earlier." Isis roared like a burning devil at Rocky.
"Why are you so certain that I cane to aid the northeast army?" Rocky sneered seeking to figure
out when he turned into being omnipotent in her eyes.
"You and my father are the only two people who popped into my head when I ponder about who has
the capability of tackling this problem. But before the Rough Slope had been encircled, my father set off
to the Imperial City and can''t return to rescue them in such short notice. You are the only one I can put
my trust on now." Isis was exceedingly quick-witted and was always considered a military talent, but
she was not all-powerful, after all. To twist the knife, Alyssa well seized the opportunity of her
feebleness this time—that was Marin. Were it not for the northeast army led by Marin that got
beleaguered in the Rough Slope, Isis might have acted swiftly or have cracked out a n. However,
the very fact went against her wish.
"If we can''t unravel anything till tomorrow, Marin will steer her army to flee from the encirclement and
give up the Rough Slope. But, the Timber Deity Empire has twenty thousand soldiers. How could Marin
disentangle them? I''m nervous that..." Isis said to Rocky, as her eyes reddened as the blood-drops
from a wounded heart and became moist.
Rocky frowned slightly while gazing at Isis in a state of upheaval expression. Giving it some thought
after a while, he proposed, "Now that Marin and the northeast army are like drawing blood from a turnip
to break out of the encirclement, we should deliver them some food initially."
"It''s almost hare-brained for our men to slip away through the army of the Timber Deity Empire around
the Rough Slope. And they will never let our men send food to Marin. That''s much more arduous than
breaking out." Isis shook her head.
"If our men fight straightly against them, of course, it will be impossible as holding the wind with a.
Don''t forget that our primary task is to send the food to Marin. We should y smart," Rocky said, his
eyes squinting.
"Are you filled with aplomb with your n?" Isis peered directly right into Rocky''s eyes.
"Not one hundred percent, but it''s worth a shot. Well, let''s converse about what I will get in return if my
n bears fruits. I don''t want to do free of charge job," Rocky said, astuteness gleaming in his eyes.
"What do you hanker after?" Isis asked while ring at Rocky.
"I yearn for you!" Rocky suddenly drew closer to Isis, an evil smirk lurking over the corner of his lips.
Apprehending that, Isis flushed at once. She inhaled so hard that she could even hear her heart
pounding like a cksmith''s hammer in her chest.
"Stop kidding!" Isis yelled.
"Nope! I''m serious! What do you just say?" Rocky smiled in a cold tone.
"You!" Isis thought he was daydreaming. She could not give credence to what her ears heard.
"Don''t be impulsive! You still have time to contemte my condition. Tell me your response after I
handle with this issue about the Rough Slope," Rocky said. Of course, he didn''t mean it. All he yearned
for was to see this demeaned Isis.
"Well, if you can triumph, I will guarantee you your desire, as long as you don''t cross the line. But if you
fail, I would allocate you to the worst area to serve in the army!" Isis threatened. After all, she was not a
person to be trifled with.
Rocky shrugged his lips upwards in a joyous smile, he then asked, "How many soldiers I can have?"
"I can organize three thousand soldiers at most for you. If you seed in delivering Marin the food, she
and her army could hold on for three days. By then, our reinforcements from the headquarters would
have arrived and we would be able to fight straight against our enemy," Isis answered after pondering
for a while.
"Only three thousand? Are you serious?" Rocky responded with his wide eyes. The Timber Deity
Empire had twenty thousand soldiers in the Rough Slope, after all. How could he lead a three-thousand
army force to issue Marin food?
"That''s the most soldiers I can provide for you," Isis responded weakly.
"Okay. Three thousand is fine by me. Deliver a word to Commander Marin ahead. I require her to work
with me then." Rocky nodded after some reluctance.
"You are our only hope now!" Isis dered as she was a little affected by Rocky. She knew thoroughly
it still had somepromises to put all the confidence on him, but she had no choice right now.
Rocky cast a glimpse at Isis before stepping out of her tent straightly.
Isis soon allotted three thousand soldiers to Rocky over a night, and also two squads of spirit
maniptors, whose average power was at the Earthly Stage. After the food provision for the northeast
army was prepared, Rocky headed his team to the Rough Slope instantly.
