Chapter 1583 Shock The Whole Army

Everyone present looked in the direction where Rocky was pointing and a surprised expression
instantly showed on their faces. After all, Rocky was pointing at the Celestial Gate Position, which was
known to be guarded by a grand commander.

The Celestial Gate Position was the core of the entire left army, and it indeed held much significance.
There were eighty thousand soldiers stationed there, and even eighty thousand soldiers of the spiritual
race might not be able to conquer it.

"You don't need to worry that much, Basil. The army of the spiritual race will not be stupid enough to
attack the Celestial Gate Position."

"I agree. The military strength of the Celestial Gate Position is on par with that of the spiritual race
army. Even if they somehow decided to attack it, it would be impossible for them to take it down."

"Stop being paranoid, Basil."

Obviously, most of the people present didn't believe what Rocky just said. In their opinion, it was the
most impossible thing to happen.

"Well, I refuse to think that something would be impossible. Besides, I'm just trying to tell you what I
have deducted. I am not forcing anyone to believe in it," Rocky responded coldly.

"Basil! You and Eunice can leave for now to take some rest." Bertram immediately interfered as he
noticed that the atmosphere had been a little tense when they heard what Rocky had to say earlier.

Without saying anything, Rocky just nodded and left together with Eunice.

"I actually thought that Basil is more experienced and powerful than this. It seems that he is still an
impulsive young man."



"That's right. He doesn't even take Commander Wei seriously."

The deputy commanders under Fraser's command could not help but make ugly remarks against
Rocky.

"It is good to be young and confident. However, arrogance can only cause harm!" Fraser said sternly.
Although he didn't really show any obvious displeasure towards Rocky, it was obvious that he didn't
have a good impression of the young man.

"That is indeed true. Don't worry. I'll be sure to remind him about this later." Bertram could just smile
helplessly and nod perfunctorily.

Then, as soon as Rocky and Eunice walked out of the camp, Eunice was not able to suppress her
emotions anymore and said, "Those guys think that they are so remarkable and knowledgeable just
because they led the army for a few years! I, for one, also think that nothing is impossible."

"There's no need to debate on that. We will know soon enough whether I am right or wrong," Rocky
replied indifferently.

"Hmm. But why are you so sure that the troops of the spiritual race want to attack the Celestial Gate
Position?" Eunice took the opportunity to ask.

"It's just my intuition," Rocky said bluntly. After all, he had already developed a keen sense of intuition
from all the battles and deceptive strategies that he encountered all the years on the battlefield.

"Ha-ha! I guessed so." Eunice laughed as she tried to tease Rocky.

Without saying a word, Rocky just smiled and continued walking.

Soon enough, they were able to reach their camps, and they took the chance to have a good rest.



Early morning the next day, Bertram summoned the reinforcements from the Tiger Whisker Pass and
explained Fraser's defense plan in detail. What they were responsible for was the area one mile away
from the Bear Pass. Since there were spiritual beasts that constantly roamed the area, human troops
did not dare to enter the area in general. Hence, they suspected that the spiritual race would pass
through that place to attack the Bear Pass from the side.

Then, Bertram began to organize the soldiers and divided them into three teams which would be led by
him, Rocky, and Eunice.

Bertram's team was responsible for guarding the position, while Eunice's team was responsible for
supporting the other two teams through coordinating their actions. On the other hand, Rocky's team
was assigned to engage the enemy in battle and act according to the varying circumstances.

As the teams were deployed, they moved in different groups and directly headed for the defensive area
one mile from the Bear Pass.

When they arrived at their destination, Bertram's team began to set traps around the area, build
barriers, and dig deep trenches. They needed to get ready to effectively fight against the enemy troops.

Meanwhile, Eunice's team was stationed five hundred meters to the west of the area and hid by taking
advantage of the natural terrain. At the same time, Rocky positioned his team members at the edge of
the area so that they could occupy the area with the advantageous terrain. With that, they would
possess efficient mobility while they engaged the army of the enemy.

"Hey, Basil. I heard that you offended Commander Wei yesterday. You really are a brave one. Didn't
you know that he is the most capable subordinate of Grand Commander You? You are so fearless to
question him!" Kye said with genuine admiration as he walked towards Rocky, who was looking up at
the Bear Pass at that moment.



"I did not intend to offend him in any way. I just told him the truth. That's what happened," Rocky replied
casually.

"Fine. So, why do you think that the spiritual race's attack this time is just a bluff? From the routes of
their troops, I also think that their intention is to attack the Bear Pass. But if they are really planning to
attack the Celestial Gate Position, wouldn't they just be committing suicide?" Although Kye wasn't very
knowledgeable about military strategy and tactics, he could see what was the obvious scenario.
Moreover, he thought that the troops of the spiritual race were not stupid enough to do such a reckless
thing.

"Maybe, you're right. However, the more impossible the thing is in the eyes of ordinary people, the
more likely it is for masters in military tactics to pull it off. That's just how it works sometimes," Rocky
said with a straight face.

"I don't quite get what you mean." Kye was known to be an unrefined kind of man, so it was not a
surprise that he could not understand the logic behind Rocky's words.

"Well, it is reasonable that you can't comprehend what I'm trying to say, because if you do, Commander
Wei and his men should have listened to me." Rocky just shook his head and let out a bitter smile. But
immediately after, his expression became serious. "I also hope that I am wrong. However, if it turned
out that my guess is right, then the left army would be in great trouble."

"Great trouble? What's going to happen?" Seeing the serious look on Rocky's face, Kye could not help
but also get anxious.

"Well, who knows? But if everything turned to be sour, it might also be a chance for me." After saying
that, Rocky left right away, leaving Kye even more confused.



In the next two days, the entire Bear Pass had been unusually peaceful. The spies from the army kept
reporting that there was no real movement from the troops of the spiritual race. They were just
wandering about five miles away from the pass, without any clear intention of launching an attack.

It was not until the fifth day that they finally took action. A spearhead army of about five thousand
soldiers appeared in the area where Rocky and his team were positioned. As Fraser expected, the
enemy would try to go through to the area to attack the Bear Pass from the side.

However, it turned out that the combat effectiveness of the five thousand soldiers was obviously
weaker compared to Rocky's team that comprised more than ten thousand soldiers.

Since they came and were prepared to attack, there was no need for Rocky and the others to show
them any mercy.

Soon enough, Bertram's team was able to take the lead in fighting against the soldiers of the spiritual
race at the defensive position. Since they had properly set traps and arranged the defense in advance,
they easily gained the upper hand in the battle. With the help of Eunice and her team, the army of the
spiritual race was thrown into a state of chaos. Not long after, they had no choice but to retreat and cut
their losses.

The troops from the Tiger Whisker Pass led by Bertram completely won the battle. Those who were in
the Bear Pass bore witness of how they thrashed the troops of the spiritual race.

For another two days. The spiritual race had sent out several spearhead teams to continuously attack
the Bear Pass from different directions. However, not one of them succeeded. As they faced the
seemingly impenetrable Bear Pass, they were effortlessly blocked off and pushed back.

But just as the battle between the two forces seemed to be at a stalemate, a piece of news suddenly
reached to the Bear Pass and instantly stunned the entire army.
