Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 576 Battle In The Tunnel

Meanwhile, just outside the city, Woods was also very alarmed to see the city wall blown up so suddenly. In fact, this city wall was intended to serve as the defense of the city. Confounded, he found it very unreasonable that it was the Evian City garrison who blew it up.

"Open up a path on the hole on wall, quickly!" Woods ordered. Although he was very confused as to why the Evian City defending troops did it, he still gave his order directly to his army. For one, Woods clearly knew that with the sudden wreckage of the city wall, his army in the city would definitely not receive any help. If that were to happen, then they would clearly lose the advantage. Moreover, if the Evian City troop took advantage of this, then it would surely pose a big problem for them.

On the Evian City's side, as the first combat plan had already been successfully completed, the city garrison immediately took the temporary advantage, thus, making their whole troop’'s momentum soar high.

"Wow, I can't believe that this guy is really awesome! Although it was a simple plan, it actually worked! Not only did it make the Evian City garrison regain their morale, but also made the Timber Deity Empire's army so messy..." Seeing the result of the plan, Sabina could not help but praise Rocky as she rode at the back of Duchess Silver, watching the two armies fight below her feet. Soon, she and Duchess Silver descended from the air and joined in the fight, too

There, thousands of military forces of the Timber Deity Empire were thinning exponentially. The commanders of the army looked green, but there was nothing they could do aside from waiting for their support to come.

Two hours later, the Timber Deity Empire's army had finally opened a path, all thanks to the help of several Huge-horned Rhinoceros. Then, crowds of thousands of soldiers poured into the city as they quickly rushed to support.

"Disperse! Now!" Sabina ordered immediately after seeing the Timber Deity Empire's army rush in at full speed from outside the city.

In an instant, four Evian City Elite Commanders led their teams to retreat in four different directions However, by the time another three commanders of the Timber Deity Empire, together with thousands of their military forces finally arrived, they found that all the city garrison had already retreated.

"What in the world are these bastards doing? They dare beat up my men and then run away in front of my allies. What a fucking coward..." one of the commanders of the Timber Deity Empire cursed, as he had just been injured heavily by the city guards.

"While they are being distracted, we can use that time to break into their attacks separately...” another commander of the Timber Deity Empire proposed.

Upon hearing the suggestion, the other Commanders of the Timber Deity Empire were enlightened, as if hope was on their side. Glancing at each other, they led their own respective armies and chased after their enemy.

However, Woods, who was commanding back in the suburbs, had an odd feeling about the report from the Evian City garrison.

"They first bombed the city wall, and then retreated... Could it be possible that..." Woods’ face changed after he thought about the scenario carefully. He then started to doubt, 'Is it possible that the Evian City garrison didn't plan to fight to death after all? Did they just want to consume our military forces to buy them time? If that were the case, then they will surely..."

After thinking about the possibility, Woods hurriedly ordered, "Order all commanders to retreat to the south gate!”

However, it was a little too late for Woods at that point. Before long, as the armies were on their way to chase their enemy, they had encountered several different traps— arrow rain, rolling stones, gravels, earth holes which killed several of their men.

In comparison, the defending force of the Evian City used their city's terrain to their advantage to lower the casualties in the guerrilla war. With this, they just had a loss of less than a thousand men. Meanwhile, just when Woods' order was passed on to the several commanders of the Timber Deity Empire, the Timber Deity Empire had already lost nearly four thousands of their soldiers. Just as Woods ordered, these Timber Deity Empire Commanders had no other choice but to lead their respective troops to withdraw to the south gate.

As soon as Sabina saw the Timber Deity Empire's army retreat she immediately used Rocky's brilliant idea. She then sent a signal that instructed all the city guards from all four sides to meet in the square to the west of the north gate.

But when Sabina and the Evian City garrison's four troops arrived at the said location, they were shocked at what they saw—three big caves, of about ten meters wide. Moreover, they saw Rocky standing in front of them.

"Don't just stand there! Ready the rope and let's go down to the cave!" Rocky ordered, looking serious.

"Go down to the cave?" confused, Sabina asked upon hearing Rocky's words.

"I have already dug a tunnel under the city. Next in the plan is that we'll lure them into having a battle in the tunnel,” Rocky said as he was sure about his plan.

Hearing his words, everyone was confused and stunned at the same time.

"Commander Rocky, did I hear that correctly? Did you really dig a tunnel under the city? We have so many people here. The path you dug might not be enough for everyone..." Commander Wang said in exaggeration.

It was not only the commander who was puzzled, but also all of the soldiers who were present in the area.

"Come on, let's hurry! We don't have much time." Rocky was disheartened as he found it hard to explain the rest of his plan. Then, he turned to Sabina and said, "Take a few people outside the north gate and make some obvious traces of retreat, so that the Timber Deity Empire would think that we have already withdrawn from the city. Wait for me at the inn in the south of the base camp at nightfall..."

Sabina nodded her head and called in some soldiers, rushing towards the north gate.

"Commander Wang, here is the map of the terrain of the tunnel. I drew four red dots on it. Assign four groups to station on the four spots and wait for tonight's order. Once Commander Sabina gives the signal, you can attack immediately...” said Rocky while taking out a topographic map which then he handed over to the commander.

Taking the map from Rocky's hands, Commander Wang was floored. Looking at the map, he saw that the terrain of the tunnel had already spread all over the city. Other commanders also joined in and had a look of amazement in their faces upon seeing the map.

Never had they ever imagined that Rocky was successfully able to dig so many tunnels under the city all by himself. Initially, they had thought that there was only one passage, so they felt that it would not accommodate thousands of people. But this time, they had completely underestimated Rocky for his skills.

Contrary to what they had thought, the map had so many tunnels that it could surely accommodate every single one in the army.

At this moment, the commanders looked at Rocky with such praise. They were all out of words to say as they looked at Rocky like he was a god!

Without time to spare, Commander Wang soon commanded all of the city guards to enter the tunnel from the three holes by rope.

Upon entering the tunnel, they found that it was wide and interlaced. It was so huge that they were sure that not only could it accommodate all of the Evian City garrison, but even double its size.

In their heads, they were all thinking of the same thing—how could Rocky have possibly done it alone?

About half an hour later, all of the city guards and their respective commanders had already gone and entered the caves. The whole square was now empty, but there was still a delicate figure who did not come down from the cave.

"Why didn't you get off?" Rocky asked coldly as he looked straight into the eyes of the figure in front of him

In front of him, was no other than Commander Marin!
