Chapter 1604 Let''s Talk About It Later
"Commander Wang, you have Spiritual King Basil to thank for. If it weren''t for his foresight and him
risking rushing back to the Tiger Whisker Pass against the orders, the Tiger Whisker Pass would have
been in danger," Bertram said.
"You''re right. If it weren''t for Spiritual King Basil, we would have lost the Tiger Whisker Pass," Tucker
replied. There was still a trace of fear in his eyes as the thought crossed his mind.
"Thank God for Spiritual King Basil''s wisdom and foresight!" Deputy Commander Ma praised in a
booming voice.
"Now that we have sessfully defended the Tiger Whisker Pass and destroyed the spiritual race''s
ns, it will be seen as a great contribution. Commander Wang, you may be promoted because of
this!" Bertram said.

"Let''s talk about itter. Right now, we must focus on repairing the city walls of the Tiger Whisker Pass
and deploying defense. In the process of guarding the Tiger Whisker Pass, countless soldiers died. We
have to bury them," Tucker replied. He wanted his reward but he was still a kind and righteous man.
"Okay. I''ll get on that right now." Then Bertram nodded, bowed, and departed.
In the meantime, Eunice and Kye were walking with Rocky back to his ce. They looked at him with
admiration in their eyes.
"Just spit it out already!" Rocky eximed, directing his eyes straight at Eunice.
"It''s incredible that you managed to defend the Tiger Whisker Pass for so many days under the attack
of tens of thousands of spiritual race soldiers. How did you do it?" Eunice said in a voice that dripped
with amazement.
"Yes. It was amazing," Kye chimed in.
"It''s not that big of a deal. What I''m more worried about is the person in the human race who betrayed
us for their own selfish interest. I have a sinking feeling that they''re someone in a high position," Rocky
said, narrowing his eyes.
"What? Who is it?" Eunice asked as her eyes widened.
"I don''t know yet, but I will find out." Above all else, Rocky hated traitors who betrayed their own
people.
"Now that you helped Commander Wang guard the Tiger Whisker Pass and you made a great
contribution, I wonder how he will reward you. Will he appoint you as a deputymander? Maybe I
can also get some benefits from it," Eunice said, smiling as the thoughts of promotions and rewards
shed before her eyes.
"It doesn''t matter whether he will reward me or not. What I care about is how this will affect my
reputation. Many people will hear about this, and perhaps it will attract their attention," Rocky replied.
"Their attention? Who are you referring to?" Eunice asked.
"Mypanions," Rocky exined.
"So the reason why you''ve been working this hard is because you want to spread your name so that
yourpanions wille to you when they hear about it. You are so smart!" It had never urred to
Eunice that Rocky was so forward thinking.
"I thought you already knew how smart I am," Rocky teased.
Eunice immediately turned to him and red.
"What are you two talking about?" Kye asked, feeling left out of the conversation.
"It''s none of your business." Eunice snorted.
Since she didn''t want to tell him, Kye shut his mouth.
Early in the morning on the second day, a spy sent by the army arrived and exined to Tucker that
the spiritual race had gone to the front line of the western region and had been trying to cross the river.
However, they had been intercepted by the army of the western region.
The spiritual race''s army had been in low spirits, so they fought viciously to get away.
Unfortunately, the troops in the front line of the western region were not strong enough. That was why
Commander Ling had sent someone to Tucker. They needed his assistance.
However, Tucker refused, using the excuse that he didn''t have enough soldiers.
"Commander Wang, why have you chosen not to send troops to support the front line of the western
region?" Deputy Commander Lin asked, scrunching his eyebrows together.
"The men that we currently have are barely able to defend the Tiger Whisker Pass. If we go to support
the front line of the western region and another spiritual army appears, we will lose the Tiger Whisker
Pass again. That is why we can''t send troops to support them," Tucker said, clearly expressing his own
thoughts on the matter.
"But it could be another chance to make contributions," Deputy Commander Lin said, rubbing his hands
together behind his back greedily.
"Don''t worry about that. Without our support, the army of the western region won''t be able to stop the
spiritual army. Commander Ling won''t be making any contributions," Tucker said with a sly smile after
thinking for a while.
"Commander Wang, you are so brilliant!" Deputy Commander Maplimented.
At that moment, Rocky was walking into the camp. When he saw Tucker and Deputy Commander Lin
whispering, his eyes narrowed.
"There you are, Spiritual King Basil!" When Tucker saw Rocky, he immediately stood up and walked
over to greet him.
"I heard that the spiritual race''s army retreated to the front line of the western region," Rocky said. He
had just received the information from the spy.
"Yes." Tucker nodded.
"I''m afraid their troops aren''t strong enough to stop the spiritual race''s army," Rocky told them.
"I agree with you. But we don''t have enough men to spare," Tucker said, using the same excuse.
"How about I go and help them?" Rocky suggested.
"I don''t think that''s necessary. Spiritual King Basil, you have been working hard. You must be
exhausted. You should rest for a few days. As for the support, I will discuss it with the three deputy
commanders. There is no need for you to worry about it," Tucker said with a smile.
After hearing that, Rocky understood that Tucker didn''t intend to support the western region army at all,
but he didn''t say anything more. He knew that if Tucker supported them, the credit for his hard work
would be divided between him and Commander Ling. Tucker was being selfish. He didn''t want to share
the credit for his great achievements.
"I see." Rocky nodded. Then he told Tucker that he nned to transfer Maxwell to the team of spirit
warriors and asked for some rewards to provide him with.
In order to join the team of spirit warriors, one must pass an examination. Because Maxwell hadn''t
done this, it was impossible for him to enter the team of spirit warriors.
However, since it was Rocky''s request and it was not a rude one, Tucker decided to break the rules
and approve it. He also rewarded a third-ss merit to Maxwell and all the soldiers who had help burn
the food and provisions of the army of the spiritual race during the battle.
After that, Rocky left the tent.
After only taking a few steps, Rocky spotted Maxwell walking towards him. He had some pep in his
step.
"Thank you for all your hard work, Maxwell," Rocky praised, patting him on the shoulder.
"It was your order. Of course, I would try my best to please you," Maxwell said with a smile.
"I''ve asked Commander Wang to reward you. And I want you to join my team of spiritual warriors,"
Rocky told him.
"Really?" Maxwell was thrilled. Joining the team of spirit warriors meant that he would be treated
differently from the ordinary soldiers.
"Your current strength is high enough to join the team of spirit warriors," Rocky continued.
"That''s great. I will risk my life for you in the drop of a hat," Maxwell said, trying to contain his
excitement.
After exchanging a few more words with Maxwell, Rocky went straight to a remote ce and entered
the Magic Spiritual Space to continue his work.
A few days went by.
Because Tucker had guarded the Tiger Whisker Pass and fought back the army of the spirit race, he
was awarded a first-ss merit by the army-leadingmander of the left army. However, Tucker did
not get the position of the grandmander as he had wished. Instead, he discovered that the position
had been appointed to Fraser, who had almost made a big mistake and forced the Tiger Whisker Pass
into a desperate state.
As a result, Tucker was fuming.
