Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1836 The Expedition

"Basil, the Shura Race is already on the move. They sent out their major army, and it seems that they are serious to finish us in one fell swoop," Colton said anxiously.

"I know. Prince Zain must be the one who leads the army this time. After all, it was his idea to suppress both the human race and the spiritual race in order to establish his position on becoming the next king of the Shura Race,” Rocky replied rather calmly. At this point, he knew that the real war against the Shura Race was about to commence in just a matter of time.

"What is the plan?" Colton asked expectantly.

"To be perfectly honest, we are going to lose as soon as the main army of the Shura Race shows up." Rocky let out a frown as he told the truth. The only role of the spearhead was to test the strength of the human race. But once the major army of the Shura Race took action, the human army had no way of resisting them.

Colton's face darkened in disappointment and frustration.

"The Shura Race is superior in terms of military strength and spiritual warriors.” Rocky heaved a heavy sigh and added, "It seems that we really cannot fight them head-on unless the spiritual race supports us."

"Well, that's exactly what the spiritual race believes in. Therefore, they don't want to risk anything by helping us.” Colton shook his head and despaired. He knew that if this went on, they could only watch the fall of the human race.

"There is actually a way if we want to survive this catastrophe. However, it is extremely risky.” Of course, Rocky still had a plan to deal with their dilemma. However, to pull off something like this, the risk that they had to take was so big that he could not see them agreeing to him.

However, Colton's face didn't seem to be enthusiastic at the least. He shook his head and said, "Both of the chiefs refused to take this risk. They are afraid that if we provoke the Shura Race by executing this plan, the entire human race will really cease to exist.”

"So, what do they want? They would prefer to wait for their deaths?" Rocky did not expect that things would eventually turn out this way. It seemed that until the end, the chiefs of the Sky- suppressing Mansion and the Sovereign Pavilion wanted to play it safe.

"I actually know what they are thinking. At the back of the minds, they will be willing to submit to the Shura Race when there is no other choice. With their status, they think that they can still enjoy a high position even after surrendering to them. They are more contented with that than being annihilated.” Colton could not help but clench his fists, realizing the ugliness in their human hearts. "Anyway, I failed to convince them. So, what should we do now? I actually don't want to watch the human race fall into the hands of the Shura Race.”

"Don't worry, I won't let that happen. I have been mentally prepared for this. It's such a shame that we can't get more help, but it doesn't mean that I will give up. I will still lead the independent army and continue the plan,” Rocky replied with an unyielding spirit.

"Are you saying that you are going to attack the territory of the Shura Race with just your army?" Colton asked, not expecting this from Rocky.

"Well, as I said before, this is the only way I could think to save the human race from this crisis," Rocky said with a heavy heart.

"But with the strength and number of the soldiers of your independent army, I'm afraid that you might not be able to conquer a fief of the Shura Race.” Colton was not a pessimist but just a realist. From what he could see, the independent army would not be enough to overcome a fief even if Rocky was leading it. Unless Rocky had at least a hundred thousand soldiers, Colton could not see him succeeding.

"Don’t worry. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. I could pull some strings in the Ghost Fief by using my status as the Godly Genius. Although it is risky, as long as we achieve our end goal and save the human race from danger first, we still have time to consider other things in the future.”

"I see. Then, let me give you all of the twenty thousand soldiers from the Di Clan. This way, your independent army might somehow increase its chance of winning. Also, I will ask two elders from the Di Clan to assist you.” This might be their last chance to save the human race, so Colton wanted to do his best to at least help Rocky overcome this seemingly impossible task.

"Thank you very much, Chief Colton. I'll make use of all your help to seize the victory,” Rocky answered with conviction.

Three days later, the two elders that were tasked by Colton to assist Rocky led twenty thousand soldiers of the Di Clan to Moon City to meet up with Rocky's independent army.

With the addition of the soldiers from the Di Clan, Rocky now had fifty thousand soldiers at his disposal. Additionally, he had more than twenty Spiritual Emperors and the two elders from the Di Clan, who were premium-stage Spiritual Emperors. With this, the overall fighting power of the independent army could not be taken lightly.

Because their mission was to be carried out in secrecy, Rocky did not explain anything to his army before they set out. He did not even tell them where they were headed. He just ordered them to be fully armed and prepared.

Moreover, he also captured some spiritual beasts in order to carry their provisions and fodders that could last for several months.

When everything was finally ready, the independent army left Moon City and began their expedition.
