Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 378 A Terrible Trap

This was just a starting point. Any spur of the moment in the battlefield could result in suffering the destruction of the whole game, the one that can determine all subsequent paths. Armies of Timber Deity Empire cracked down thirty thousand armies of Crimson Dragon Group, but they merely lost half of their armies. For Crimson Dragon Group, the troops they lost were their essential force, the most excellent contending force brought by Isis from Crimson Dragon Group. The most magnificent fighting force was damaged severely, while their rival's forces only lost half. Under this circumstance, it was an enormous setback to Crimson Dragon Group and blew a hole in their self-confidence. Now Crimson Dragon Group only had over thirty thousand forces defending the frontier and proceeded in going into tailspin workforce created menace in defense. Crimson Dragon Group seemed to be crystal clear more not up to scratch in defense.

In contrary, after bringing the thirty thousand armies of Crimson Dragon Group to their knees, Timber Deity Empire repositioned and reestablished their troops and left for the frontier again. Timber Deity Empire started the balls rolling ferocious attack toward Crimson Dragon Group and repressed them. It seemed Timber Deity Empire was going to break through their defensive line and invade Holy Dragon Empire.

Isis utilized all her efforts to deploy the troops and all strategies she knew to defend. But it was too late.

Alyssa didn't let them have any breathing time for Crimson Dragon Group. She guided to break up the left line of Crimson Dragon Group and gripped hold of the fort in left defensive line quickly like a bullet out of a gun. Timber Deity Empire beat off the troops of Crimson Dragon Group one by one. In the outcome, the left defensive line was crushed down in a few days.

After losing the left defensive line, the frontier was made encroachments on by twenty thousand troops of Timber Deity Empire. It's a stroke of luck that Isis had hazard an assumption the villain's movement and evacuated their troops at night. Crimson Dragon Group kept ambushing them when Timber Deity Empire was pursuing them. Timber Deity Empire lost a few thousand soldiers, but their main troops were safe and sound unhurt. Crimson Dragon Group was still at a monkey wrench in the works.

To safeguard their existing fighting force, Isis had to back off the right defensive line. Later, the right defensive forces converged with other main force led by Isis. There were only twenty thousands of troops left until that moment.

Timber Deity Empire occupied the whole frontier. The front line, the civilian neighborhood along the frontier, had turned into the left desolate playground of war. Guilt-free people were caused suffering to by the war, some deceased, and some made their getaway to the war-torn region. Corpses of civilians were apparent everywhere.

Six military camps, including logistics camp, had compelled people to leave and joined Crimson Dragon Group led by Isis. Then they divided into three troops and withdrew into Frozen River Pass located between northern sky military camp and east-southeast military camp and Loyal Dragon Pass at north and Wild Heaven Pass at east. It established a last feeble safeguarding line for Holy Dragon Empire.

The last defensive line streaked the boundary between Gehenna Border of Holy Dragon Empire and a war zone. If one of the Passes were broken through, Timber Deity Empire troops would set foot in the territory of Holy Dragon Empire. The cities and towns nearby would be under menace, including Evian City where Crimson Dragon Group were located. If the war continued like this, the whole Holy Dragon Empire would be on the peril. No one could come to the empire aid at that time.

It was unquestionably making Crimson Dragon Group eat a humble pie who never gave consent to troops from other countries to set foot in their territory.

The news that the Gehenna Border was in a desperate strait reached Imperial City like a whirlwind after Crimson Dragon Group endured terrible losses. Timber Deity Empire utterly vanquished the invincible Crimson Dragon Group. Civil and military officials were given a trepidation, and their minds were blown away by the news and didn't understand how Crimson Dragon Group could endure a trample on defeat. They started to question Isis’ competence in war.

Without toffee-nosed words, Lance set foot in Gehenna Border as soon as he could. He transferred thirty thousand crack troops from base camp to Frozen River Pass. After arriving there, Lance took over the position of Isis and took command to guide Crimson Dragon Group.

Meanwhile, Alyssa continued to brim over until eighty thousand troops. Timber Deity Empire troops withdrew for the Holy Dragon Empire with the tide. They arrived in Frozen River Pass, Loyal Dragon Pass and Wild Heaven Pass and gave it its one best shot to breakthrough.

Since thirty thousand main forces were lost at one time, Crimson Dragon Group couldn't compare with Timber Deity Empire troops with high morale which were a class on their own; even Lance had transferred thirty thousand crack troops. The team spirit of Crimson Dragon Group was sinking lower.

Even with thirty crack troops, the entire fifty thousand soldiers were securing the three passes. The soldiers camped in each pass was only less twenty thousand, which wasn't a plentiful amount to secure the pass, not mention to fight with Timber Deity Empire.

The most compelling consideration for Crimson Dragon Group was to secure the passes. That's the par first thing they could do now.

Crimson Dragon Group had to defend the passes if they required to buy some time for recovering its former vitality. Lance had ordered Crimson Dragon Group camped in other towns and borders to join them. Once the situation stabilized, they will counterattack.

Unfortunately, Crimson Dragon Group weren't coming face to face with other Troops, but Timber Deity Empire troops led by Alyssa, the most distinguished military genius. Crimson Dragon Group didn't even have time to recharge their batteries.

Being a battle-scarred ace and one of Three Great Generals in Holy Dragon Empire, Lance encountered a lot and was granted a bounty with numerous accomplishments. He met his match with Alyssa this time. The first day he guarded Frozen River Pass, he received an important report from Loyal Dragon Pass. It told thirty thousand troops from Timber Deity Empire was laid siege to and bent over backwards to break through Loyal Dragon Pass.

In a house of Frozen River Pass, Lance, Isis, two Elite Commanders, and Frontline Commanders were debating how to endure with Timber Deity Empire, including Marin. Timber Deity Empire was besieging Loyal Dragon Pass and stamping out their border.

"Now Timber Deity Empire was in high spirit. They were with no doubts there were only ten thousand forces in Loyal Dragon Pass, and they set their hearts to breaking through it at one heave. That's their strategy. It's feasible for them to pull off this since they are in high self-confidence now," Marin uttered first with a bleak face.

"Loyal Dragon Pass is impregnable one among three barriers. That's why the Commander in Chief only sendoff ten thousand forces to secure it. Even thirty thousand forces were bombarding Loyal Dragon Pass, it couldn't be broken down within a short time. I think Timber Deity Empire are too proud as a lion when passion-stirred and overestimate themselves. They think Crimson Dragon Group will throw in the sponge only if they assail us!" One Elite Commander said and was rudely awakened by the performance of Timber Deity Empire. Timber Deity Empire's movement indicated they belittled the Holy Dragon Empire.

Other Commanders nodded. It suggested that they couldn't get to grips their enemy looked down upon them.

"It was my responsibility that Crimson Dragon Group was caught in a tight corner. If I weren't so scatterbrained and hadn't taken heed of the trap made by Timber Deity Empire, Crimson Dragon Group wouldn't suffer the enormous destruction. Our frontier was also broken through, and we lost part of our territory. We have to withdraw into the Passes.” Isis lay the accountability on herself. Since she suffered a considerable loss, she had self-condemnation for her action.

"It's not Deputy Commander in Chief's accountability. Commander of Timber Deity Empire is more powerful than we imagine,” Marin said, seeking to bestow a pardon to Isis.

Commanders started to communicate in muted tones and implied to have some comments. Even they had some opinions, they didn't have the audacity to speak in public. They knew that resourceful Isis was no match for Commander in Chief of Timber Deity Empire, let alone themselves. "We underestimated their power and intention this time, so we suffered a great loss. In the following action, we shall be restrained. The same blunder shall never be made again!" Lance certainly was conscious that his daughter's incompetence did not cause the significant loss, but the superiority and ambition of Commander in Chief of Timber Deity Empire. Or, Timber Deity Empire wouldn't forward their position under a disadvantage condition and trapped Crimson Dragon Group.
