Chapter 427 Weird

"Rocky, where are we headed?" Only after the army left the main camp did Marin reminisce about the most essential thing. She kicked her horse and trotted briskly towards Rocky, who was now leaning languidly back against Rubygon with his legs crossed.

"Commander Marin, I am an Elite Commander now. You should address me as Commander Rocky. Is that okay?" Rocky straightened up and peered at Marin playfully.

"I will address you whatever I choose. You got an issue with it?" Her lips contorted in wilful grin. She would, under no circumstance, call him Commander Rocky.

"Fine, whatever." Rocky shrugged and answered her query, "We are headed to the Hippo Land."

"Hippo Land? What are you contemplating, Rocky? We have three choices here and you singled out the most complex one? Do you perceive we've already lost one Elite Commander and two Frontline Commanders in the battles of recapturing it?" Marin looked sullen. It offered her the impression that Rocky wasn't taking this seriously.

Sabina rode beside them and discovered it all. She was no less caught on the hop about Rocky's decision.

"Hippo Land is the nearest place. I see no reason why we shouldn't single it out. I've made my decision and that's final." With that, Rocky leaned back again even more sluggishly.

Marin's face hardened, wishing that she could just beat the living daylights out of him. No matter what her thought was, she had to obey Rocky's orders. So she could only command the army to march towards the Hippo Land.

Hippo Land took its name from its shape, which was like a hippo drinking beside the Arno River. Its undulating terrain was full of precipices and steep slopes. And its dense jungles would only bring more desperate straits to the marching. Therefore whoever held this place was given a strong trump card.

Hippo Land was of the essence because it was located in the middle part of the river and connected the east and the west of the Arno River. It also had a dock there, which was convenient for the transport. The Crimson Dragon Army had used it to ship its supplies and soldiers before. So the Hippo Land was kind of the dispatching center of the seven key

ur faith on you." Now Commander Wei thought very highly of him and his viewpoint.

"Okay, I got it." Mr. Mu nodded calmly.

"What do you have in mind?" Commander Wei asked quickly.

"Commander Wei, I suggest we deploy our forces according to this map." He took out a map and handed it to Commander Wei. His expression was humble enough but there was not too much deference in his attitude to Commander Wei. He had a different bearing from the others.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu." Commander Wei was filled with gratitude and accepted the sketch without hesitation. This handsome man had helped him achieve three triumphs at the Hippo Land. He could have lost it to the Crimson Dragon Army in the first battle, if it hadn't been for this man.

Mr. Mu nodded to him and left. After he got out of the tent, he lifted his head and saw the camp of the Crimson Dragon Army lying ostentatiously on the opposite slope. Frowning, he remembered the previous three attacks. Unlike this time, the Crimson Dragon Army had always closed in on them stealthily, camped at some more secret places and bided their time for the best moment to make a move. But now, they just camped at the most noticeable place as if they were in a blue funk that the Timber Deity Empire army would overlook their arrival.

Something was wrong. Exposing oneself completely to its enemy was a big no-no in the warfare.

"That is weird," Mr. Mu murmured to himself before he left.
