Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 346 In A Predicament

"What about the Rough Slope?”

"According to the up to date news, a range of a thousand meters around the Rough Slope has been beleaguered by the armies of the Timber Deity Empire. However, what is so uncanny is that they haven't commenced any ambush to the Rough Slope.”

"What on earth is the purpose of the Timber Deity Empire?"

"If they carry on doing that, even if they don't charge the Rough Slope, the northeast army led by Commander Marin will be too weak as a lamb that can't stand the weight of its wool to hold a fight in the sparseness of army provisions and goods. *

The Commanders were all laden with an epidemic of anxiety. Their thoughts scattered like there was an electrical storm in their head, too many short-circuits to make any sense. Compared with losing the Rough Slope, the loss of the northeast army would be a fatal blow to the Crimson Dragon Army, which was now a lack of troops. The contending armies at the Rough Slope had been absolutely exterminated before, which garnered the plight of the military strength to be nitpicking. Though the headquarters had acquiesced to send reinforcements, since the Crimson Dragon Group was culpable for safeguarding the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire at the Gehenna Border as well as the towns and the cities at the border, the reinforcement which had to be dispatched from the armies stationed at the towns and the cities at the border and carried out preparation in order before they could set out should spent at least half a month in turning up at the Rough Slope. Besides, the quality of the soldiers was another dilemma, so the reinforcements could not be released for a moment.

At present, due to the extreme incursions of the Timber Deity Empire, all the fronts were short of military strength. Once soldiers were dispatched from those fronts, jeopardy would be declared. After all, thousands of soldiers were far from adequate since the Timber Deity Empire sieged the Rough Slope with twenty thousand soldiers. Thus, at least twenty thousand soldiers should be dismissed to come to the rescue of the northeast army. If not, any small number of soldiers were worthless. However, based on the prevailing condition of the Crimson Dragon Army, it wasn't competent to fix the obstacle.

A modest shift in the Crimson Dragon Army may alter the condition as a whole. This was a hard nut to crack of Isis.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, I figure out we should convey the major force in the front line to come to bail out the Rough Slope.”

"That's true. The Timber Deity Empire has bitten more than it can chew. We must confer them a lesson...”

"The Timber Deity Empire has twenty thousand soldiers. If we likewise move soldiers of the same number to integrate with the northeast army at the Rough Slope, we will unquestionably attack them on the hop."

The Commanders rendered proposals one after another and called for battle duties.

"No, we can't dispatch armies now," Isis responded, swaying her head. The overall structure shouldn't be disordered to deal with the vital condition in the Rough Slope.

Upon hearing Isis’ response, the Commanders all stared at each other speechless in confusion. Their faces stuck in an incredulous expression. As usual, they weren't be able to recognize the prevailing condition as Isis had done.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, why shouldn't we dispatch armies?"

"Because it is a setup.” Isis uttered in a no joke tone, her eyebrows furrowed.

"A hoodwink?" The Commanders’ faces darkened into a look of astonishment. Their brain desperately scrambled to make sense of it all while standing as gormless as a guppy. They hadn't expected that their enemies would have a plan A, B and even C just in case.

"Though right now I don't figure out the real motive of the Timber Deity Empire's siege of the Rough Slope, I'm sure the whole thing is a setup. So we shouldn't react hastily and blindly. It is attainable that if we tincture our armies to the Rough Slope, they grab the golden opportunity to ambush our fronts..." Isis concluded, having a wild guess about the possible situation if she came to the rescue at the Rough Slope.

"But if the twenty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire snap off an ambush to the northeast army at the Rough Slope, they would have no choice but battle against them till they all succumb. What's even worse, once the Timber Deity Empire seizes the Rough Slope, it is arduous as to grasp a shadow for us to retrieve,” one of the Commanders said.

"Of course, I am aware of the essence of the Rough Slope, but I don't think we should do anything before we uncover the real motive of our enemies. Besides, in theory, if the Timber Deity Empire uses the Rough Slope as their counter to wheedled to us to exit the fronts, they won't assault it now, so we don't have to get overwrought about the safety of the northeast army for the time being..." Isis scrutinized. She was on tenterhooks than anyone about the northeast army because Marin, her cousin, was the Commander of it. She pipe dreamed that Marin would be safe as a tortoise under its shell. However, she shouldn't be hear-rendered by the whole situation of the war due to her private sentiment. Her decision was closely related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Group, so she shouldn't be spurred of the moment or swayed by emotions. Therefore, she had to be on guard, despite being more anxious than anyone like a cat on hot bricks. "How many days can they cling to life with the army facilities carried with the northeast army and the army provisions left by the defending armies at the Rough Slope?" Isis sought the Commander, liable for the military supplies.

"I got wind that the provision store has been burnt down in the last rude awakening tip and run raid, so I guess almost no army provisions are left there. The northeast army made a whistle-stop march this time so that they only gripped army provisions for less than five days. In this way, they could only survive for about ten days," the Commander replied.

"Ten days?" Isis said with a steamed up expression. She must come up with the solution in ten days, or once the army provisions ran out, the northeast army would topple without a clamor under the siege of the Timber Deity Empire.

"Convey a message to Commander Marin. Tell her to hold on, and I'm certain I will find a way to rescue them," Isis ordered after plunge.

"Yes, madam," one of the guards in the tent answered back and turned away abruptly.

Then, the Commanders also departed from the tent one after another.

However, by the skin of one’s teeth had one wave tapered off when another rose. Bad news arrived in a whirlwind chain.

"Deputy Commander in Chief, lately, the transportation team of the logistics camp was bombarded by the enemy.” One Commander reported to Isis as he hurried like one distraught to the tent.

"How about the casualties?" Isis asked in distress.

"Thanks to the new transportation route map, the casualty is small. The transportation team has retreated to the logistics camp by another route with army provisions and goods. The supplies of army provisions of some fronts may be affected, but it is not something to create a mountain out of a molehill," the Commander answered back.

"That's perfect. Dispatch two thousand soldiers from the main military camp to the logistics camp. In such a burgeoning condition, supplies of army provisions and goods must be assured," Isis summoned. She finally gave a breath of relief like a bouncing ball. Fortunately, like one born on a lucky star, the transportation of army provisions and goods was running smooth, or it would pile up calamities on the Crimson Dragon Army, which had already been enslaved.

“Fortunately Rocky has depicted the new transportation route map and the new transportation method, or I will utterly be worn to a frazzle from disquietude. What is he doing now? If he was here, what kind of solution would he pop up?" Isis figured out, a light glimmering in her eyes. Again she summoned the Commander to retreat.

In the next few days, Isis contemplated for the solution, but she got no clues. Her mind was starting to fail, like an engine that turned over and over, never kicking into action. As they had in prospect, the twenty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire hadn't invaded the Rough Slope. However, she got more worried. It was like someone had poured gasoline onto the spark of fear in her belly. Even though the Timber Deity Empire didn't make any move, they could get the Rough Slope effortlessly when the army provisions of the northeast army ran out.

In this case, Isis could be confident that the Timber Deity Empire just made use of the Rough Slope as a bait to induce her to send armies to come to the rescue of the northeast army there. They had hit her soft spot, so she distressed herself about whether she should send troops or not.

“The Commander in Chief of the Timber Deity Empire is so sharp that I have been torn between two..." Isis thought with brisk eyes, clamping her fists.

"Come in!" Isis howled abruptly.

Promptly, a guard came in the tent.

"Convey a message to the logistics camp that I want to lay my eyes on Rocky," Isis ordered.

The guard nodded and turned away.

"Though I am unwilling to turn to him, he is infallible most of the time..." Isis mumbled to herself.
