The two commanders of the Timber Deity Empire witnessed Rocky's strength with their own eyes. Despite his weak aura, he seemed to be at least above the second grade of the Heavenly Stage. As for the two commanders, one was at the first grade of the Heavenly Stage, while the other was at the second grade of the Heavenly Stage. Even if they joined hands, they could only be on par with Rocky.
"Don't worry about him. Let's go and see how he can hold off this many people." The commander in blue glared at the hesitant crowd. As a commander, he was afraid that if they delayed longer, the guards of Evian City could recover their defenses. They needed to catch up with the guards as soon as possible and kill them all.
Under the command of the two commanders of the Timber Deity Empire, the army rushed into the avenue. Flames were ablaze around them, and smoke rose to the sky. The heat waves assaulted them from all sides.
When Rocky saw the army of the Timber Deity Empire that was rushing towards him, a triumphant smile graced his lips. He quickly took out the Dragon Flame Pearl and infused all his spiritual power into it. As soon as this was done, the Dragon Flame Pearl swelled up, and several flame lights fluttered out.
Then, Rocky threw the Dragon Flame Pearl into the air. It flew unsteadily as if it had a life of its own. The fire streaks it left behind swayed like the tail of a long dragon.
At the same time, the flames on both sides of the road suddenly roared. It was like a volcano exploded, with all the flame and lava that scattered the streets. Flames swept across the air and rushed towards the road between the two sides. The sky turned grey with smoke, and was bathed in the red light of the flames.
"Retreat!" When the two commanders of the Timber Deity Empire saw this, they quickly ordered their soldiers to retreat.
However, a few soldiers of the army of the Timber Deity Empire had already rushed to the front. They realized that it was too late to retreat when the heat waves rushed from both sides. The whole army was thrown into chaos. Everyone wanted to escape, but they couldn't find a way out. They couldn't even organize themselves, let alone form a group.
A moment later, the flames on both sides of the road
eave two thousand people to watch the soldiers of Evian City that had surrendered. The rest of the troops should quickly assist the northwestern part." Woods could guess that the soldiers which surrendered had not included Rocky, so he was sure that Rocky was in the northwestern part. With Rocky's ability, a few additional forces could do the trick. On the other hand, the northwestern part had created a tight defense which worried him. It could be difficult to defeat them quickly, while he recruited troops at the same time.
With that thought, he decided that it was better to defeat the northwestern part with one blow. However, the worry lingered at the back of his mind. He carefully chose several bodyguards at the Heavenly Stage and commanded them. He would put that worry to rest by himself!
Once they received the orders, the southwestern part of the army of the Timber Deity Empire left two thousand military forces and a commander to guard those who had surrendered. The other commander led the rest of the military forces to the northwest.
On the flip side, the commanders finally admitted that Rocky was a genius. He was able to accurately foretell the movement of the opposing army. He had told them ahead of time that only two thousand military forces would be left to guard them. They sighed in relief, as they realized that things were going according to their plans. Now, they would have to lead the soldiers of Evian City to fight against the remaining army of the Timber Deity Empire.
