Chapter 382 Dilemma
As a deafening roar reverberated in the air, a colossal dragon flew out of the crevice. Its giant body
glistened with dazzling thunder light, and its three huge heads were swinging. The four gigantic wings
behind its heads even impeded the sunlight. Its body was asrge as a mountain. Bolts of thunder kept
spurting out of its two tails. The formidable aura around it rattled the spectators to the core.
Those soldiers in the Loyal Dragon Pass almost bounced out of their skin as facing the colossal
dragon''s appearance. The poor-spirited ones among them could not even help but begin shaking like a
leaf.
The spot where the Timber Deity Empire''s army encamped was near to the Loyal Dragon Pass, so they
also caught a glimpse of the colossal dragon. Their jaws almost fell to the ground as seeing the rude
awakening picture.
That giant creature was Lance''s spirit-manipted beast, a six-star Thunder Blustering Dragon. It
ranked top ten on the Spiritual Beast List of the Wild Spirit Land, no matter in strength or quality. The
Thunder Blustering Dragon was strong as an eagle and out of the ordinary kind of spiritual dragon
among the thunder series. What could be on a par with Lance''s Thunder Blustering Dragon in the Holy
Dragon Empire were only the two spirit-manipted beasts of Bryant''s and Marcia''s.
Lance self-possessed as the breast of ake when the loud wind wasid jumped into the air. With a
gleam of his spiritual power, he had ridden on the Thunder Blustering Dragon. As it was waving its
wings, a sand storm swept over the Loyal Dragon Pass.
In a flickering of an eye, the Thunder Blustering Dragon had brimmed over up into the sky and ebbed
away.
It was already night when Lance came back to the Frozen River Pass.
"Father!" As promptly as perceiving Lance made an appearance, Isis came to catch sight of him.
"How about the Wild Heaven Pass right now?" Lance inquired.
"We have lost ten thousand of our men. By good luck, Commander Ron already kept at arm''s length
the enemy ambush and expelled them out of the Wild Heaven Pass!" Isis answered with a somber
look.
"It''s still too shortly to make conclusions!" Lance dered.
"Father, do you mean we should allocate some reinforcements to the Wild Heaven Pass?" Isis'' brows
knitted together.
"No, we can''t do that. Ten thousand soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Group have been assigned to the
Loyal Dragon Pass from the Frozen River Pass. There are only twenty thousand soldiers in the Frozen
River Pass right now. If we sent reinforcements to the Wild Heaven Pass, the Frozen River Pass would
be on jeopardy then." Lance face looked sullen and then proceeded, "It''s our rival''s swindle. Now that
the Timber Deity Empire has a substantial upper hand over us in the aspect of army forces, they bring
into service that to draw away our army forces. It is a conundrum that the thirty thousand soldiers of
Timber Deity Empire besieged the Loyal Dragon Pass. What they undoubtedly have an inclination for is
the Wild Heaven Pass. Princess Alyssa is absolutely out of the ordinary!"
"What should we do now, father? We will lose the Wild Heaven Pass if we don''t assign any
reinforcements to them!" Isis could not help but be in a state of nerves like a cat on a hot tin roof. Once
upon losing the Wild Heaven Pass, an entrance to the Holy Dragon Empire would be freed by their
rival.
"I have dispatched a message to the headquarters along the way. The Elite Regiment of our spirit
maniptors will send over some of their members within no time," Lance dered.
"The Elite Regiment! Do you genuinely mean it, father?" Isis was hit like a ton of bricks.
Almost everyone in the Crimson Dragon Group was apprehensive that the Elite Regiment was their
most iprehensible squad, which consisted of royal spirit maniptors at or above the eighth grade
of the Earthly Stage. The head of the Elite Regiment even reached the Supernal Stage.
There were at most hundreds of Supernal Stage spirit maniptors in the whole Holy Dragon Empire.
Most of them came from the dominant ns of the royal family. In the four major military groups of the
N?velDrama.Org ? content.
Holy Dragon Empire, there were also an insignificant number of Supernal Stage spirit maniptors.
The Crimson Dragon Group, for example, had three to four Supernal Stage spirit maniptors, and
they woulde to lock antlers only under the most dangerous circumstance.
The Elite Regiment led by a Supernal Stage spirit maniptor, of course, was extraordinarily strong as
an ox and back-breaking.
Now that Lance even required the best squad of the Crimson Dragon Group to join the fight, it could
also show beyond doubt how precarious their present condition was. Only by such a strong squad''s
helping hand could the Crimson Dragon Group have the possibility to turn the tables.
"Besides, the fifty thousand soldiers, which are the reinforcements I already put into position before,
are on the way now. We have to try everything we can to safeguard the three passes. When the Elite
Regiment and reinforcements arrive, it is time we fight back! The crux right now is whether we can take
up cudgels for the Wild Heaven Pass. The Elite Regiment''s members normally have their own task to
put the finishing touches to. It will take them at least five days toe here. Our men in the Wild
Heaven Pass have to hold their horses for a few more days," Lance said with a serious face. Time was
the key to this battle, yet what the Crimson Dragon Army was desperate most for now was also time.
If they lost the Wild Heaven Pass, the aftermath was beyond hope. It would go far more above one''s
head to fight the Timber Deity Empire if they entered the Holy Dragon Empire''s territory through the
Wild Heaven Pass. They would in two shakes of amb''s tail invade the several cities, including Evian
City, around the border, and numerous guilt-free citizens would die in the cruel war.
Thus, the Crimson Dragon Army would with nock of confidence to have a dust-up for their life for the
Wild Heaven Pass.
The next day, Lance was presented with the news that the Timber Deity Empireunched intense
attacks at the Loyal Dragon Pass, which was entirely out of his control. He didn''t have in the prospect
that the enemy would fight the Loyal Dragon Pass before they got the Wild Heaven Pass. To add salt
into an injury, it was Princess Alyssa who led the Timber Deity Empire''s army to bombard the Loyal
Dragon Pass.
Although previously their morale almost reached the low watermark level after Lance routed them, the
Timber Deity Empire''s army in the Loyal Dragon Pass regained their confidence under Alyssa''s skillful
leadership. With their strong as a lion fighting will, they had almost broken down the twenty thousand
soldiers patrolling in the Loyal Dragon Pass.
The third day, the Wild Heaven Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass were both on the edge of being blown
their minds. The Crimson Dragon Army had been pushed in a corner.
In the temporary Conference Hall of the Frozen River Pass, Lance wore a solemn expression and
furrowed brows deeply. His eyes were painted with a hint of the heebie-jeebies. He became cognizant
of what a predicament the Crimson Dragon Army was in right now. Both the Wild Heaven Pass and the
Loyal Dragon Pass were in deeply demand of reinforcements, but if Lance assigned soldiers of the
Frozen River Pass to the two passes, the Frozen River Pass would be on jeopardy in any minute.
But if he didn''t do so, the Holy Dragon Empire would lose two crucial passes at the same time. The
Timber Deity Empire could easily invade several cities around the Holy Dragon Empire''s boundary like
a piece of old tackle.
These days, the Crimson Dragon Army had already been dissipated after engaging in several fights. It
was a hard nut to crack for them to guard a mere pass. How could they maintain both the Wild Heaven
Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass?
"Father!" Isis wended her way in without signaling.
"Is there any piece of information about the Wild Heaven Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass?" Lance''s
brows knitted together. While he had to blow the lid off that Princess Alyssa was so good that she even
pushed him and the Crimson Dragon Army in a corner.
Although Lance had encountered a lot and dominated for many time, he was already at the end of his
wits as facing the current monkey wrench in the works. Perturbation had almost worn him out, which
was so evident in the increase of his grey hair. Before the reinforcements arrived, the two principal
passes were already on the edge of losing. Yet, he didn''t have the slightest idea about how to handle
with that because of the inadequate army forces. All of these were overpowering him and almost
smothered him.
"Nothing new! I''m scared stiff that we would lose the Wild Heaven Pass." Isis shook her head slightly
as a hint of twitchiness shed in her eyes. Meanwhile, a man''s figure clicked into her mind. She
believed that if he was here now, he might have a way to alleviate their up to the minute crisis.
Although she fully understood that getting out of such a quandary was almost close to drawing water
from a stone, she still believed that he coulde to someone''s rescue. Because she already
witnessed that he turned the impossibility into possibilityst time in the Rough Slope.
