Chapter 1703 The Ambush


    "I see. So you want us to fall into their trap on purpose while we set up our own trap to ambush them


    instead." Vivian''s eyes lit up when she heard those words. She couldn''t have thought of a better n.


    "That''s it. How smart of you!" Rocky nodded with a smile.


    "But once we enter their territory, we might be ambushed and exposed. How can we catch them off


    guard instead?"


    "That''s also what I''m worried about. Isn''t this too risky?"


    "I think it''s best that we avoid them and choose a safer route."


    The other Spiritual Emperors made it clear that they disagreed with Rocky''s n. After all, most, if not


    all, did not know much about the art of war. This meant that disagreement was inevitable.


    "Everyone, I understand why you are worried. But like I said, the terrain we are in is easy to defend and


    hard to attack. The Primitive Fief''s goal is to ambush us, so they won''t be paying much attention to the


    terrain. Once we allow them to ambush us, we can lead them to our own trap. As soon as they''re


    caught in it, we can begin a counterattack. Doing all this will allow us to deal a heavy blow to the enemy


    forces with minimum losses on our side," Rocky analyzed with confidence.


    Vivian and the other Spiritual Emperors were shocked upon hearing his n. Upon first impression,


    Rocky never showed much in terms of confidence, but ever since thest battle, they had found that he


    had more to offer than what they thought.


    "Of course, Miss Vivian, if you object, we can always think of another n!" Rocky wouldn''t simply


    force everyone to ept his n.


    "We''ll just do what you said!" Vivian decided. She couldn''t really say anything else at the moment


    because she wasn''t exactly adept with military tactics. Now that Rocky came up with such a good n,


    there was no reason for her to object.


    "Perfect. Please make the necessary arrangements. But when the timees, I need you to allow me


    to makemands. Oh, and I also need your help with something," Rocky said as he raised both


    eyebrows slyly.


    "What?" Vivian looked at him in surprise.


    Rocky immediately stepped up to her side and whispered a few words into her ear. Upon hearing what


    he said, Vivian stared at him with cold eyes and scolded, "We are not doing that!"


    "If we don''t do this, then our n won''t seed!" Rocky said.


    "But…" Vivian had never done such a thing simr to what he had just whispered to her before. Doing


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    such things wasn''t normal for her.


    "When the timees, I will help you. You just need to pretend while I take care of the rest." Rocky


    continued to persuade her.


    "Alright." To ensure that the n went smoothly, Vivian reluctantly agreed.


    After that, Rocky left first.


    "Miss Vivian, what does he want you to do?" the Spiritual Emperors asked her, genuine looks of


    curiosity all over their faces.


    "y dead!" Vivian blurted out without any hesitation or exnation. This confused them even further.


    "Well…


    Miss Vivian, we all thought that Godly Genius Odin was only skilled in medicine. We didn''t expect him


    to be so good at military tactics..."


    "It seems it''s not a coincidence that he was chosen to be the Godly Genius!"


    "It''s a pity that he''s still weak andcking in strength. Otherwise, he would be very powerful!"


    They began to discuss among themselves.


    Vivian didn''t say anything and immediately asked them to make the necessary preparations in


    ordance with their n.


    A night passed.


    Early morning on the second day, the joint guard team set off ording to Rocky''s n and headed to


    the area where Tobias had set up the ambush.


    Meanwhile, Tobias received a message from the front. Inside the tent, one of the Spiritual Kings


    reported to Tobias as soon as he discovered something. "Sir, as expected, our enemy is heading


    towards us," he said.


    "Ha ha! Just as I expected. In order to get to the Nether Dragon King''sir quickly, they need to take


    this shortcut. This time, we defeat them once and for all," Tobias said before he burst into loudughter.


    He had already set up a trap, waiting for the joint guard team to fall into it.


    Half a dayter, the joint guard team was ambushed by Tobias and his men.


    When Vivian and her team entered the area less than a hundred meters further, the uneven road


    suddenly twisted like debris being scattered in the wind, forming a whirlpool which instantly trapped


    most of the members. At the same time, mes gushed out of the cracks.


    Once the mes touched their bodies, they would be seriously injured or worse, dead. It was obvious


    that the joint guard team was in a huge predicament.


    However, Rocky came prepared as he immediately unleashed the Army-blessing Scroll. With his chant,


    the members of the joint guard team found a surge of strength in their feet and in an instant, used it to


    break free from the mudflow that held them down.


    Soon, under the influence of the Army-blessing Scroll, most of the members retreated to safety.


    However, since Vivian and a few other members of the team had gone too deep, they failed to escape


    on time. This gave Tobias the perfect opportunity to trap them.


    The purpose of this trap was to try and cut off any connection between the joint guard team. Tobias


    wanted to separate Vivian, who was leading the team on the front lines, from Rocky and the Spiritual


    Emperors, who were at the back.


    Obviously, his n seeded.


    When Vivian and several of her men were alone, Tobias, who was more than prepared, immediately


    appeared before her with two low-grade Spiritual Emperors.


    "You annoying little pest!" Trapped in the mud whirlpool, Vivian red at him.


    "Ha ha! I''ve heard a lot about you, miss, like rumors of how much of a beauty you are. Now that I see


    you, and I can say that they''re all true. You really are beautiful..." With ascivious look on his face, he


    gazed at her with eyes full of greed. Compared to Valeria, this arrogant and aloof woman was far more


    attractive to him.


    "Cut the crap. Come and fight me if you want to kill me!" With a wave of her hand, an ice white spear


    appeared out of thin air and into Vivian''s grasp. If she wasn''t on the battlefield, she would rarely


    summon her spiritual weapon to fight against an enemy. But now that she did, it was clear that the


    situation was serious.


    "I don''t even need to kill you with my own hands!" With a cold smile, Tobias took out a palm sized jade


    and threw it directly into the mud whirlpool.


    As soon as the gem flew into the sky and directly above the whirlpool, it suddenly shone with a strange


    dark green light. In an instant, a strong siphoning force swept over Vivian and her team. This, along


    with being trapped in the mud whirlpool, made them feel every second of having their spiritual power


    being taken.


    "The Spiritual Power Absorbing Stone! How could he have such a thing!" Vivian''s eyes turned cold.


    This stone was a holy artifact of the royal family. It was refined via a secret method known only to


    members within the family. It could absorb the spiritual power of any living being. The higher the grade,


    the stronger its siphoning power was. The one that Tobias possessed was at a level that could absorb


    at least the spiritual power of someone who was at the Emperor Level. So even someone as strong as


    her could barely resist its power.
