Chapter 710 Real Intentions

"By any means, we should not underestimate Rocky. He might have seen through our current line of defense, meaning he knows our weak areas. If that's the case, then most likely, he will attack us on our border this time. The thirty thousand soldiers we called in for reinforcement are all deployed to attack the Crimson Dragon Army. So our defense on the border is compromised. If Rocky attacks us there, our cities on that end behind the defense will fall like a house of cards. There wouldn't be any resistance." Woods, tapping his right foot, considered the possible real intentions of Rocky.

"No, I don't really think Rocky's first idea is to attack us only on one side. By the look of things, he's out to hit us from every possible position. The plan is to cripple our military, leaving us downright incapable of a counter-attack." Alyssa seemed to have wider grasp of Rocky's real intentions.

"Okay then. What do you think we should plan? How about letting Blood Lord Leo personally take charge of this particular battle? It's a big fight on our hands that we cannot afford to gamble on. Among all the generals in our Timber Deity Empire, no one can compete with Leo," Woods proposed. Previously Blood Lord Leo had lost a battle or two to Rocky. But Woods believed he had learned priceless lessons from the mistakes of those defeats.

"After failing on his previous attempts, Blood Lord Leo might tend to panic and switch to impulsive action instead of sticking to the strategy. Sly fox that Rocky is, such a weakness he will want to exploit for his advantage. Also, in our planning, we should simulate all possible scenarios with Rocky. To crack all the tricks he might have up his sleeves, we need to think out of the box," Alyssa objected, shaking her head. But as soon as she finished speaking, an unexpected light flashed in her eyes. Woods could tell, she had come up with a brilliant idea.

"So you mean..." Woods couldn't help but ask.

"I will personally take charge of the army and face them," Alyssa decided.

"Why do I have a feeling, you have a personal grudge against Rocky? Anyway, it's also a good countermeasure. After all, you're the only person we've had who has ever challenged Rocky with success. And for that, I'm very proud of you! If you want guaranteed fail-safe strategy, it's alright to go out and do it personally," Woods nudged, smiling calmly. He knew how hardheaded Alyssa could be. Like Rocky, she was a difficult person to deal with.

"If I had known better, I should have killed him last time,

d twenty thousand soldiers on her side too. And taking personal charge of the Timber Deity Empire troops, she set off to confront Rocky and his Crimson Dragon Army.

Alyssa supposed she had seen through Rocky's plan, but in fact, she just fell into Rocky's careful trap.

When Alyssa's army of twenty thousand soldiers blocked the troops of Rocky, they found that Rocky's troops were not twenty thousand, but only ten thousand. At the beginning, there were indeed twenty thousand soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army going straight to the Timber Deity Empire's border. However, half of the military forces led by Commander Wang had to return on the way and encircled the rear of the united forces formed by the Timber Deity Empire and the Roaring Flame Empire.

At the same time, the Crimson Dragon Army deployed on the line of defense in the Deity Unicorn Valley suddenly turned defense into attack. They joined forces with the ten thousand troops in the rear of the united forces to launch pincer attack. As twenty thousand forces were dispatched by Alyssa, the forces of the united army did not have an advantage. In addition, as they were attacked by Rocky's army from both sides at once, their losses were devastating.

When Alyssa realized that she had once again fallen into Rocky's trap, she immediately regretted her decision. She was infuriated and wished to tear Rocky into pieces. Theoretically, she should withdraw her forces back to the Deity Unicorn Valley to help, but unexpectedly, she continued to chase the Crimson Dragon Army led by Rocky with her twenty thousand soldiers.

Obviously, Alyssa's persistence in her counter-measure was also out of Rocky's expectation...
