Chapter 1371 A Psychological Battle


    "If there is a w in the Timber Deity Empire''s defensive line, the United Army will definitely attack that.


    Once the Timber Deity Empire''s defensive line copses, the defensive lines of the Holy Dragon


    Empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire will also be seriously affected. I didn''t expect him to see my


    defense''s weakness so easily. He is indeed a good opponent!" Alyssa thoughtfully said. Then she


    ordered, "Keep a close watch on the enemy''s actions. If you notice anything, report it to me


    immediately!"


    Themander immediately nodded at her order and left.


    "Commander in Chief, the forces of the South United Army are far more powerful than ours. If they


    attack us, we would be in an extremely disadvantageous position," amander in the camp worriedly


    said.


    "Don''t worry about that. Even though the South United Army is stronger than us, our strategic position


    is not easy to be conquered. Besides, I have already secretly gathered more than thirty thousand


    soldiers and ced them around our position. We just need to wait for the United Army to take the bait


    and ambush them," Alyssa confidently said with great foresight.


    She had already seen through Rocky''s mind and considered all his possible moves, so she was


    confident that Rocky would not benefit from this battle at all.


    Of course, Rocky already knew that Alyssa could see through his n. The two of them knew each


    other very well after all. So, it was still unknown whether Rocky could break through Alyssa''s strategic


    position to disintegrate the Timber Deity Empire''s defensive line, or if Alyssa could easily defend the


    strategic position and make Rocky return empty handed!


    This battle was no longer a test of military strength, but a psychological battle between both. It all


    depended now on who couldugh to the end.


    Two dayster, the South United Army led by Rocky was still not moving at all. They just camped under


    the watch of the enemy as if entering an emptynd and settling there.


    At first, Alyssa was very patient. She thought that Rocky must be waiting for an opportunity to act, so


    she couldn''t show any weakness.


    However, Alyssa became suspicious as time went by. Although she had expected all of Rocky''s ns,


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    she didn''t expect that he would be this calm. Logically speaking, Rocky must have considered the


    possibility of Alyssa''s reinforcements. With that, he should have led the South United Army to engage


    in a quick battle to upy the strategic position as soon as possible. However, Rocky did not make any


    move which made her a little suspicious.


    On the fourth day, there was still no movement from the South United Army. They were still just


    camping there like they were on a vacation.


    Finally, Alyssa couldn''t sit still any longer. She was worried that Rocky might have other ns. This


    time, it was important to her to gamble and fight against Rocky on the battlefield. Besides, she was still


    holding a grudge against Rocky for killing her brother. She knew that she couldn''t defeat Rocky alone,


    so the only way to defeat him was on the battlefield. She was determined topletely annihte him


    this time.


    To prevent Rocky from having any other ns that she didn''t expect, Alyssa summoned several


    "Commander Zhang, you''re going to lead five thousand soldiers to sneak into the enemy''s camp


    through this ovend route andunch a surprise attack."


    "Commander Li, you will lead three squads of spirit maniptors to the rear of the enemy''s camp. After


    Commander Zhangunches the surprise attack, your must burn the enemy''s provisions."


    "And Commander Huang, you will lead three thousand bowmen to burn the enemy''s camp after


    Commander Li burns their provisions. All of you must retreat safely."


    "The remainingmanders each will be on standby with five thousand men..."


    Alyssa had made a detailed attack n on the topographic map. She didn''t want to give Rocky any


    chance to breathe at all.


    At noon, themanders led their own troops to get ready. After Alyssa gave the order, they quickly


    acted.


    Meanwhile, the spirit maniptors sent by Rocky to monitor the enemy''s camp immediately rushed


    back and reported to Rocky as they saw the enemy''s action.


    "Ah, finally. You really can''t sit still, can you?" With an evil smile, Rocky immediately looked at Marcia


    and said, "Call the South United Army, prepare to bring three days'' worth of provisions, and


    immediately abandon the camp."


    "What? Abandon the camp?" Marcia was puzzled by Rocky''s orders.


    "Alyssa will certainly burn our provisions and camp to force us to counterattack. If that happens, she


    will take advantage of the terrain to deal with us. So, of course we can''t let things go ording to her


    n." Rocky had already known what Alyssa was going to do, so he had alreadye up with a


    solution.


    "But I''m afraid we will be in a passive position without the camp," Marcia said after a carefully thinking


    all their possible moves.


    "No, we won''t be passive. On the contrary, we can take the active position. After we abandon the


    camp, you will lead thirty thousand soldiers tounch an ambush. After I lure out most of the enemy''s


    troops, you will lead the army to directly attack and capture their camp," Rocky exined to Marcia.


    "I hadn''t thought about that. What a good move! But it''s very likely that Alyssa had already ced


    soldiers around their camp. If we upy their camp, we may fall into a heavy siege." Marcia was still a


    little worried at their n.


    "We can catch a big fish by setting out a long line. If we want topletely conquer this strategic


    position, we must let Alyssa show all her trump cards. In that way, we canpletely control the


    situation," Rocky said as he narrowed his eyes. He had already foreseen this for a while now.


    "It''s a little risky, but I have to agree that it will really surprise Alyssa." Hearing that, Marcia slightly


    nodded as she understood what Rocky was thinking.


    The strength of the South United Army was obviously superior to that of the enemy. Even if the enemy


    had secret reinforcements, they would not benefit if they fought head-on. That was why Alyssa nned


    to burn the South United Army''s provisions and camp to force them to attack. In this way, they could


    take the active position of defense and slowly consume the strength of the South United Army.


    Rocky''s strategy was exactly going around Alyssa''s strategy. In this way, Alyssa would think that the


    South United Army was forced to make a counterattack. After that, Alyssa would certainly make a


    move to resist the South United Army''s attack with all her strength. However, even if the South United


    Army only had half of their soldiers, Alyssa had to lead her army with all their strength to fight because


    of their gap in military strength. Otherwise, she would inevitably suffer great losses. So, if Rocky lured


    Alyssa to lead her army out of the camp at the right time, he would have a chance to lead his army to


    capture the enemy''s camp. Besides that, all the troops hidden by Alyssa would also be exposed.


    With that, Marcia quickly gathered the South United Army and brought with them three days'' worth of


    provisions. Then she led the South United Army to retreat from the camp and head to the east.


    Not long after, the five thousand spearheads sent by Alyssa attacked the camp of the South United


    Army from a secret ovend route. However, what they saw was an empty camp. And waiting for them


    was a lonely and arrogant figure in the middle of the camp.
