Chapter 375 A Cold Tone
Seeing that they were no longer in danger after retreating for several hours, Commander Sun from the
Timber Deity Empire ordered everybody to have a rest on the spot. It was apparent that he was still
upset. As per Alyssa''s order, he had slipped into the rear area of the Crimson Dragon Army with a
small scale mobile unit in order to intercept the supply of provisions and fodders of the Crimson Dragon
Army. However, he hadn''t sessfully intercepted any provisions and fodders till now. What made him
extra annoyed, though, was that the transportation team of the Crimson Dragon Army had disappeared
under his nose for several times. This issue was not eptable because there weren''t many people in
the transportation team, so his mobile unit should have been enough to deal with them.
The situation was truly horrible because even when things started to get better, something weird
happened. When Commander Sun finally figured out the route that the transportation team had taken,
he and the mobile unit were attacked by a group of wild spirit-manipted beasts that seemed to
appear out of the blue. As a result, they had not only failed to intercept the provisions and fodders
transported by the Crimson Dragon Army, but also lost their own provisions and fodders. All of their
provisions and fodders had been burned when they began retreating. Maybe they could not hold up for
even one day.
"Sir, what should we do next?" the deputymander asked.
"What else can we do when we don''t even have enough people to deal with a group of wild beasts? Of
course we should retreat to our own territory as soon as possible. I''m already tired of staying at this
deste ce," Commander Sun answered in a discontented tone while spitting out a lot of curses.
"Commander, bad news, bad news!" a spirit maniptor shouted while running here quickly from the
rear of the unit. Panic was all over his face.
"Oh, dear God! What else happened?" Commander Sun asked, staring at the spirit maniptor with
attentive eyes.
"Oh, well... A group... A group of wild spirit-manipted beasts are in their way towards us again," the
spirit maniptor answered while gasping for air.
"Perfect! Just when I thought things could not possibly get worse!" Commander Sun''s face was drained
of color in an instant. When he immediately raised his head to look out, he could see a group of beasts
running quickly towards them from the rear of the unit. ''Oh my God! They are really close!''
"What the hell is going on?" Commander Sunined. He was panicking and about to go crazy.
"Sir..." The deputymander looked at Commander Sun with a deathly pale face.
"What are you doing here?! We have so few people that we can never beat so many beasts. We
should retreat!" Commander Sun had no choice but to lead the troops to retreat. What a horrible thing
to do, especially in such terrible circumstances.
Among the group of beasts that was chasing the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky was
lying on a one-toothed elephant, sticking one leg over the other. Rubygon and Rainbow Glow Unicorn,
with Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf on its back, were close to him on both sides. The pioneer, Uriah, was leading
therge group of wild spirit-manipted beasts who were to chase the mobile unit of the Timber Deity
Empire. Rocky''s morale was boosted. Luckily for him, there wasn''t arge number of people in the
mobile unit that tried to intercept their provisions and fodders, and it was not even a capable mobile
unit. Therefore, Rocky thought he could give them a bluff.
This way, the small-scale mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire was constantly running, looking for an
escape. However, wherever they went, they were chased by a group of spirit-manipted beasts that
kepting out of the blue.

When the mobile unit was on the verge of a breakdown, an imposing military of Crimson Dragon Army,
like a ghost, appeared right in front of their eyes.
The leader of this military, Tod Cao, was no stranger to Rocky. He was the Frontline Commander who
had once cooperated with Rocky to drive back the opponents during the Army g Contest in the
headquarters.
Tod was a rtively sophisticatedmander among the Frontline Commanders. He had experienced
many battles. After blocking the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire, he ordered the five thousand
troops under hismand to besiege them. They struck the mobile unit like a sharp edge.
The mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire was defeated in no time due to the small number of people,
low morale and the fatigue that they suffered after fleeing for so long a time. Many of them were killed,
while the rest, except a few who escaped sessfully, were captured, including Commander Sun.
Only about one hundred troops of the Crimson Dragon Army led by Tod were killed in the battle.
Tod was surprised to beat the mobile unit of the Timber Deity Empire so easily because he had no idea
that the mobile unit had already been exhausted by Rocky''s pursuit along the way before fighting the
battle.
"Commander Cao," Rocky greeted Tod when he appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"Long time no see, Rocky!" Tod made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other as soon as he
saw Rocky. He admirably said, "The Deputy Commander in Chief, upon receiving your message,
ordered me toe with five thousand troops of the Crimson Dragon Army to assist you as you
required. But I didn''t expect to destroy the mobile unit of the Timber Deity that easily. It''s such a relief
that we finally got rid of them. They had been making troubles for us in the rear area. Congrattions
on your one more merit!"
"Please ept the merit as a gift. I did nothing but gave you a hand, anyway. Please tell the Deputy
Commander in Chief that I will be very busy in the following period of time, so she''d better not look for
me! Otherwise, I will make Commander Marin fulfill her promise to me instead." As soon as his words
faded away, Rocky faded with them. Tod was stunned by his sudden disappearance, and could not
realize what was going on.
Together with the troops, Tod sent about one thousand captures, including Commander Sun from the
Timber Deity Empire, back to the main camp in the front line. As soon as they arrived, Tod went to
meet Isis to report the details of the battle and deliver Rocky''s message.
"Hem! I''m afraid he thought too much. I won''t look for him!" said Isis in an angry voice. However, her
expressions and the surprised look she had reflected as if she felt wronged by the love of her life.
Tod felt awkward after delivering Rocky''s message and seeing Isis''s reaction, so he excused himself by
bowing respectfully and leaving her tent.
Shortly after Tod had left, a guard walked into the tent saying, "Madam, somebody outside wants to see
you."
"Who is it?" Isis asked.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, long time no see!" said a tall and slim beautiful woman, with her head
held high, as she barged into the tent. She looked as arrogant as a queen, and gave out the aura of a
senior spirit maniptor.
The woman was Marcia''s disciple, who had been dispatched by her master to protect Rocky. It seemed
that she was an old acquaintance of Isis.
As soon as Isis saw the woman, a glimmer of surprise shed across her eyes. However, she did a
great job hiding it, and ordered the guard to leave.
The guard bowed respectfully to her and left right away.
"Why did youe here?" Isis asked while looking the woman in the eye. It seemed that she wasn''t
very happy to see her.
"I came to deal with something. By the way, I can see an old friend in you," the woman answered in a
soft voice.
"An old friend? I think it''s more proper to refer to me as an old rival," Isis said coldly, as if she had had
some conflict against the woman.
"Why are you still holding all this grudge? After all, it has really been a long while since it happened,"
the woman asked while rolling her arrogant eyes.
"No, I am not holding any grudge at all," Isis said despite the apparent grievance in her eyes that were
fixated on the woman.
"You needn''t try to deny it. Nobody knows you better than I do, given that we have been fighting
against each other since our childhood!" The woman suddenly burst into a beautiful smile as if an
iceberg had melted.
"Oh, and should I feel honored to be known well by the second daughter of the honorable Ji n?" Isis
continued to speak in a sarcastic tone after giving a sneer.
"I''m no longer the second daughter of the Ji n. I''m not at all rted to the Ji n," said the woman.
She regained the cold tone as soon as she heard Isis mention the Ji n.
