Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 636 Full of Confidence

"The Dragon Tiger Road can be attacked easily but it is hard to defend. Our army have fought against the Timber Deity Empire here twice and have defeated them twice! It is a weakness of the Timber Deity Empire. Losing the fight here twice has traumatized their army. I am sure we can defeat them again with our experience and with a comprehensive plan," Isis said proudly and nodded.

"I think we can still put our main offense on the Dragon Tiger Road. The scouts detected that the current forces of the Timber Deity Empire in this right-wing defense line are only twenty-five thousand soldiers. It will be impossible for them to resist our attack,” Commander Ron, one of the Elite Commanders, suggested.

The other commanders nodded in agreement. The Dragon Tiger Road was the obvious weakness of the Timber Deity Empire's defense line. Moreover, the Crimson Dragon Army had defeated the Timber Deity Empire twice before in the Dragon Tiger Road. This fact made these commanders more confident in the future battle. Along with their military strength, it was a great chance to win the battle.

"Rocky, what do you think of this suggestion?" Isis turned to look at Rocky who was silent as a rock. She wanted to see if Rocky had already come up with a better solution. Most of the time, Rocky's plans were better than the rest of their plans.

"If I were Alyssa, I would have tried my best to defend the Dragon Tiger Road since I knew it was the weak point of the defense line," said Rocky. Isis was right about Rocky. He was thinking indeed about the attack plan all along. Isis admired this about Rocky, his calm demeanor in times of battle. "But the forces of the Timber Deity Empire are weaker than ours. We have plenty of advantages over them. If we attack the Dragon Tiger Road by storm, I am sure that they won't be able to withstand it for a few days," said one of the Elite Commanders confidently as if the upcoming battle was as easy as counting numbers.

"Louis, what's your opinion?" Rocky didn't reply to the Elite Commander as he turned to look at his adviser, Louis, waiting for his opinion.

Louis nodded, and said with full composure, "Although the Dragon Tiger Road is easy to attack, the rainforest behind it is so large that it would be easy for the Timber Deity Empire to retreat and hide there. If the Timber Deity Empire decides to withdraw their defense line and enter the forest, we will have only a few opportunities to defeat them even if we have the military advantages. Moreover, our advantages may turn into disadvantages if we fight against our enemy in this kind of rainforest where there are many swamps and spirit-manipulated beasts. It would be a dangerous place for our soldiers if they chase their opponents. Besides, we are not familiar with the terrain of the rainforest. It will be very easy to step into the traps of the Timber Deity Empire.” Louis didn't show his reaction towards the commander's suggestion. He just analyzed the situation they might encounter slowly. But through what he said, Rocky immediately understood what Louis implied.

"It seems that the reason why the Timber Deity Empire sent their troops to guard the Dragon Tiger Road was to attract our attention and military forces there. If we want to win the Dragon Tiger Road, we will put most of our forces in their right-wing defense line. But after drawing our forces, they may choose to retreat into the rainforest. To the Timber Deity Empire, the Dragon Tiger Road is just a bait to lure our forces and this rainforest is their true defense line. This move of Alyssa is really smart!" Rocky analyzed resolutely with his arms folded across his chest.

When the commanders heard this, they looked at each other shockingly. In fact, Rocky was really smart as well! They couldn't see through Alyssa's true tactics and intentions. They felt pretty safe and secure with Rocky standing by their side.

"So you're saying that we can't gather our forces to attack their right wing?” Isis asked. She wanted Rocky to give more advice.

"If we can't attack the right wing, we will have to attack the left wing. And the Misty Plain in between is also known as the “devil battlefield". It is the most dangerous place occupied by the Timber Deity Empire. Attacking with all of our troops might be useless in the end,” Commander Ron replied. Everyone nodded in agreement. They would have no choice but to attack the left wing if the Dragon Tiger Road was a trap.

"No, we will still attack the right-wing defense line." Rocky shook his head and exclaimed.

Everyone was surprised and turned to look at Rocky. Obviously, they didn't understand what he meant.

"Rocky, didn't you say that Alyssa wanted to draw our forces to the right-wing defense line? If we attack the right wing, we will step into her trap,” Isis asked, confused

"You're right. We will be tricked by Alyssa.” Rocky nodded and smiled mischievously.

"Commander in Chief, are you going to turn their trick against them?" Allen responded immediately. "Head Allen, you're right. You really are a veteran in battle. Since Alyssa wanted us to fall into her trap, we will take this chance to defeat her. What I'm planning is to make them believe that we're going to attack their right wing, but we're going to actually strike the weak point of their defense line." Rocky seemed to have a comprehensive plan.

"The weak point? Isn't it the Dragon Tiger Road?" Marin couldn't help but ask.

"It's the Misty Plain,” Rocky uttered.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The Misty Plain was the most dangerous place in the battlefield. Even if they already knew that the Dragon Tiger Road was a bait, most of the commanders would choose to attack it instead of the Misty Plain. They didn't want to risk the casualty of fighting on the Misty Plain.

The Misty Plain was a 'devil's battlefield’ just as Commander Ron had said. Because of the bad weather and the fog there all year round, it was almost impossible for people to see the road, let alone to fight there. Soldiers would easily get lost and be left there to die. Otherwise, the Timber Deity Empire wouldn't use only five thousand troops to guard the Misty Plain.

However, Rocky said that the Misty Plain was a weak point of their defense line. The commanders didn't understand what Rocky meant.

"Commander in Chief, are you kidding? Do you really want to attack the Misty Plain?"

"Although there are only five thousand soldiers guarding the Misty Plain, we probably can't defeat them even with twenty thousand soldiers. It's not easy to go through the Misty Plain. We may be ambushed by the enemy anytime..."

"Attacking the Misty Plain is no different from seeking your own doom.”

All the commanders raised their objections, obviously against Rocky's decision to attack the Misty Plain.

"I didn’t order you to fight. I will lead my troops to attack it. I only need three thousand soldiers," Rocky said while he put out three fingers.

Upon hearing that, all the commanders were dumbstruck with amazement. They looked at Rocky in disbelief, as if he was a new person. They wondered if Rocky was out of his mind.

Twenty thousand soldiers might not be enough to occupy the Misty Plains. When the commanders heard that Rocky would occupy the Misty Plain with only three thousand soldiers, they thought he was joking.

"Commander Ron, I order you to bring ten thousand soldiers to move to the left wing of the Timber Deity Empire tonight. You will attack the White Water Mountain, so you can restrain some forces of the Timber Deity Empire,” Rocky ordered, ignoring the surprised expression of the commanders. "Yes." Commander Ron nodded. Even if he didn't know what Rocky was thinking, he obeyed his orders.

"Isis, you will lead twenty thousand soldiers as the vanguard unit to attack the right wing," Rocky said while looking at Isis.

"Okay," Isis replied softly. She trusted Rocky since he had led them to win so many fights against the Timber Deity Empire.

"The rest of our troops will stay put for the time being. You will stay where you are and protect both the left and right wing. You must support each other all the time," Rocky added.

Even though the commanders were dissatisfied with Rocky, they swallowed their grievances since Rocky already made up his mind. The firmness of Rocky's tone implied that they couldn't change Rocky's mind.

"Head Allen, please stay here. For the other commanders, please go down to prepare for the battle,” Rocky said and waved his hand in dismissal.

All the commanders left Allen and Rocky in the tent.

"Commander in Chief, it seems that many of the commanders are still not convinced of you!" Allen said in a calm tone.

"That's their business. As long as they obey my orders. Sooner or later, they will know the essence of my plan,” Rocky said. He was not worried about his plan at all.

"It seems that you are pretty confident in your own plan, Commander in Chief. Well, I can rest my heart now." Allen laughed.

"Confidence is the foundation of victory. If you don't have confidence, you will be far from success,” Rocky replied calmly.

"Any orders?" Allen knew that he needed to deal with something important since Rocky told him to stay, so he asked Rocky directly.

"I wonder if you can send a few masters at the Heavenly Stage to the Misty Plain first. I need them to find a chance to sneak into the military camp of the Timber Deity Empire,” Rocky asked.
