Chapter 355 A Deranged Scheme
Evidently, the n Rocky was speaking about at the moment was much bolder than the preceding one.
Maybe they could sessfully deceive the Timber Deity Empire once or twice, but it would not be easy
as falling off a log to pull their legs for the third time.
In fact, the two Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire, who could lead twenty thousand troops of the
Timber Deity Empire, would by no means be any mediocrities. The reason why Rocky had hoodwinked
them for two consecutive times was only because they exhibited numerical power and underrated
Rocky. Since they had never interacted with Rocky, they didn''t know he was audacious to such an
extent. First of all, he drew the attention of their nearly ten thousand troops with his mere three
thousand troops and transported the provisions and fodders to the camp of the Crimson Dragon Army
at the Rough Slope openly. Then he put on a y of fake gue so that the troops of the Timber Deity
Empire dared notunch an attack right away in worries about their health.
All in all, the two Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire should not be to me. The reason why
they had been fooled by Rocky''s schemes was not because they were silly but because Rocky was too
foxy. He was good at scheming, but what was more important was that he was very bold. Unlike him,
the two Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire were ga like for military exploit and scared stiff of
death. Otherwise, the Rough Slope should have long been seized by them.
Indeed, they had no slightest inkling the Crimson Dragon Army''s reinforcement troops would show up
very promptly. If the Timber Deity Empire was briefed of that, perhaps they would spare no effort in
sting and taking over the Rough Slope in no time.
In such a war, asionally intelligence would y a significant aspect in the result. The reason why
Rocky indicated an initial charge was precisely because he was apprehensive that the Timber Deity
Empire would get the intelligence about the reinforcement before the Crimson Dragon Army''s
reinforcement troops showed up. In such a case, the Timber Deity Empire troops would immediately
would be very likely that the northeast military army was overpowered, and the Rough Slope plunged
into the enemy''s hand before Isis dispatched troops toe to their rescue. Therefore, rather than
finishing in this dreadful way, they would betterunch an initial charge so that they might grasp the
most convenient chance for the northeast military army.
Of course, they had to take strong menace in doing that. Once theymenced an initial raid, the
northeast military army would encounter the twenty thousand troops of the Timber Deity Empire, which
would be totally distinctive from pulling a fast one on them with schemes like before.
Besides, after being made a clown twice, the two Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire would by no
means let ite into being for the third time. They would extremely be on guard so as not to be
twitted once again. Therefore, it would be challenging to grasp a shadow for Rocky to carry out the
decapitation strike, which would be sure to frustrate the Timber Deity Empire troops if sessfully
carried out.
"Rocky, I don''t agree with you on this n. I think it''s equal to letting the northeast military army dig
their own grave." Deputy Commander Chen turned down the idea without the least reluctance.
"Indeed, your n sounds too jeopardizing. Killing a Commander of the Timber Deity Empire amidst
their twenty thousand troops is more difficult than drawing blood from a turnip!" Marin said seriously,
solemnness written on her face. In her point of view, even if the n could be carried out sessfully,
they would have to pay a significant price—heavy casualties. Of course, she wasn''t amenable to
endanger the lives of several thousand soldiers in the northeast military army.
"Nothing undertaken, nothing achieved! If we don''t make a confident move, how do you think you could
hold up for thest day?" Rocky asked, coldness and malice conspicuous in his eyes. He had never
fought a battle in its real sense, but he knew it was like herding cats to beat the much stronger enemy
with the weaker force of the northeast military in a normal way. All that was because of the enormous
gap between the numbers of troops of the two parties. However, if the northeast military army applied
trailzing strategies, they might strike the enemy vitally. That was the most crucial reason why Rocky
had nned the decapitation strike.
"Maybe we could hold up on the third day by contending with all our energies," Deputy Commander
Chen said, though he himself was conscious of the low probability.
Marin was tight-lipped.
"Deputy Commander Chen, you have encountered many battles over these years. But have you
forgotten about somemon sense about war? We all recognize that the best way to defend is to
strike the opponent by surprise, so that they will be utterly snapped off guard. At the moment, in fact,
we have less burden on the mind than the troops of the Timber Deity Empire because we don''t have
anything to lose. Still, the two Commanders of Timber Deity Empire must be horror-stricken that their
Commander in Chief would punish them if they fail to take the Rough Slope from us. Therefore, they
are more waiting with bated breath to win the battle than us. However, the longing they are, the more
likely they will stick their necks out," Rocky said in a t tone, but his face looked like Satan at the
moment. He seemed extraordinarily evil and sinister as if he could read everybody else''s mind.
Both Marin and Deputy Commander Chen trembled with fear when they saw the expressions on
Rocky''s face. Their hearts would explode, and their eyes were wide with fear. Perhaps it was because
they were familiar with the undisciplined and emotionless Rocky that they were much shocked to find
the dark and evil side of him.
Indeed, what they weren''t conscious of was that Rocky would be progressively evil in the future.
"I''m not seeking for your point of view. Now I''m themander of the northeast military army. I will do
what I desire to do even if you don''t agree with me," Rocky announced, ncing at Marin and Deputy
Commander Chen with his resolute and relentless eyes.
"Deputy Commander Chen, please take off for a moment." Marin ordered Deputy Commander Chen
after reflecting for a moment. Her brows furrowed tight. She figured out she had tomunicate with
Rocky in private.
As instructed, Deputy Commander Chen left the tent.
"Rocky, what''s wrong with you? You''re not the same person I used to know," Marin sighed. She felt like
Rocky had abruptly transformed into another individual. Maybe the Rocky she perceived had
consistently gotten on one''s nerves so that she always craved to give him a lesson, but she had to
concede that he had some values. But the Rocky in front of her eyes now not only looked evil but also
acted in an imperious demeanor, as if he required to maintain everything under his control.
"Really? Maybe this is the real me," Rocky said, a grim smile emerging at the corners of his mouth.
"No, I''m free from doubt this is not you," Marin dered, shaking her head in incredulity. She assumed

that there must be some justification for Rocky''s abrupt transformation.
Suddenly, Rocky burst intoughter. His giggle was an auditory hug. It wended its way through the
frigid air enveloping even strangers in its tickling embrace. In a wildly arrogant manner, he strode
forward and held Marin''s slim waist with his arm. As he pulled her towards him, his lips covered her
featured cherry lips.
Caught off bnce by Rocky''s sudden provocation, Marin could do nothing but receive his kiss despite
her wide-open eyes in bewilderment. It was not until some momentster that she recognized what
was going on. Precipitously, she shoved Rocky away and raised her hand, intending to p him.
However, her wrist was gripped tight by his big hand in the air.
"Never be hoodwinked by my false appearance. Otherwise, what I will take from you next time will not
be as straightforward as a kiss. Anyway, it isn''t the first time we kissed. Even if I will kiss you once
again, you won''t lose anything. I rmend you preserve your power to execute some more rivals
rather than pping me," Rocky said while gawking at Marin with his evil and gorgeous eyes.
By now, Marin was extraordinarily embarrassed and boiling up with anger. Her face flushed red like a
red brick from cheeks to ears. She had never felt so humiliated in her life before. Rocky was a
shameless and despicable bastard in her eyes at the moment. She had a strong impulse to kill him to
resolve her fury. On second thought, sheprehended that the northeast military army would be
wrecked if she actually murdered him. Besides, she would not be so cold-hearted as to kill him.
"You''d better try topose yourself. When Ie back, we should begin making the operation n,"
Rocky said. Then he released his grip on Marin''s wrist. With a cold look on his face, he left the tent.
"Why has he changed in this way?" Marin muttered, staring at Rocky''s back with her ring eyes.
Bewilderment was written on her face.
