Suddenly, the three squads were taking the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire by surprise, attacking it from three different points.
Two small groups of spirit manipulators had taken the lead and with their ferocious spirit-manipulated beasts, quickly headed towards the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire. As they proceeded to slay the enemy, their spiritual power projected light and rumbled loudly every now and again.
That was when the troops of the Timber Deity Empire realized that things were different this time. The troops of the Crimson Dragon Army were not pretending anymore; they were actually attacking them for real.
"Be quick! Go report to our Commander that the Crimson Dragon Army is attacking us," shouted an adjutant in charge of the defense line, with a ghastly pale face revealing his fear and utter astonishment. Meanwhile, he instructed the spirit manipulators and the soldiers at the defense line to resist the attack from the Crimson Dragon Army.
The first defense line in the west of Hippo Land consisted merely of a thousand men. In contrast, Marin was leading the troops of the Crimson Dragon Army, with five thousand soldiers under her command. The difference was monumental and they broke through the defense line with no difficulty.
There had been so many feinted attacks in the past few days that the troops of the Timber Deity Empire had endlessly belittled and laughed at the Crimson Dragon Army. Now, as the troops of the Crimson Dragon Army were finally attacking the enemy troops, they lashed out at them, releasing all their oppressed feelings and restrained anger. Highly spirited, they fought relentlessly.
Moments after the attack had started, the first defense line of the Timber Deity Empire was destroyed.
Soon after, the second defense line was destroyed too, followed by the third defense line a little later.
By the time the news of the siege had reached the camp of the Timber Deity Empire, the Crimson Dragon Army had already wiped three defense lines clean and passed through the woods in the west. They were dangerously approaching the camp of the Timber Deity Empire.
At the Timber Deity Empire camp, Commander Wei's weary face showed signs of losing all hope as he heard the news.
"Where is Mr. Mu?" Commander Wei hast
ipulator. A dragon would have been the logical choice to portray her noble background, but apparently, he was wrong.
Sabina's spiritual beast was undeniably far more impressive than any ordinary war dragon.
"Dare I, Commander Ji, ask if you would allow me to draw some samples from your spirit-manipulated beast?" asked Rocky, as he greedily stared at Sabina's spirit-manipulated beast. He was so intrigued by this rare specimen.
In Sabina's eyes, Rocky was acting like a hungry pervert, gawking at a beautiful woman. She looked back at him in utter disgust. There was no way that she would ever let him touch her spirit-manipulated beast. She would have had gone mad to let that happen!
Suddenly, Sabina's spirit-manipulated beast neighed and raised its head to look at the moon. Its body exuded exquisite silvery light, resembling the moonlight's aura.
"Duchess Silver!" Sabina pronounced its name in a soft voice. Her face was filled with love as she delicately stroked and patted it gently.
"Duchess Silver? A name fit for a queen," Rocky sighed intensely, filled with emotion.
Rocky's praises did not change Sabina's attitude towards him. She jumped on Duchess Silver's back with elegant dexterity. As she caressed its mane, Duchess Silver neighed again, and a gust of wind created a whirlwind of dust around its limbs.
Duchess Silver took a ceremonious leap forward, swiftly lifting its body from the ground as it started to gallop across the air, brushing past Rocky as it flew west towards the Hippo Land.
