The border battlefield was only a general name for the area formed due to the continuous wars among
the three races, and it was divided into several small parts.
Among the three races, the Shura Race occupied the largest area of the border battlefield, while the
rest was divided between the spiritual race and the human race. However, the spiritual race still had a
slight upper hand, which meant that the human race was the most disadvantaged one on the
battlefield.
Since the Shura Race actually manipulated the situation, they were able to sow dissension between
the spiritual race and the human race. Hence, all year round, the two races were at each other's
throats, fighting to the death. Meanwhile, the Shura Race was just watching on the sideline, reigning
supreme over the entire border battlefield.
In other words, the human race was in a very bad situation, and if they wanted to survive on the border
battlefield, they would need to strengthen both their offense and defense.
Presently, the Di Clan was the one who led the human army to stand their ground against the invasion
of the spiritual race on the border battlefield. Although the Di Clan had actually called upon all the
human clans in the Ethereal Region to join the war, only a few of them had responded and deployed
their men.
The Sky-suppressing School had sent eight of their strongest disciples, including Rocky, to the
frontline, which was rare but not hard to understand.
At the point, the war at the border had already entered an extremely heated stage. The spiritual race
and the human race had gone all out to bring each other down, but the spiritual race still had the overall
advantage.
If the human race continued to be overpowered, it would be bad for all the clans that resided in the
Ethereal Region.
Since the Sky-suppressing Mansion was a force that came from generations with military service, they
had a strong sense of chivalry and desire to protect their home.
The school was relatively far away from the border battlefield, so it took the disciples three days and
three nights to arrive at their destination.
"The eight of you will be divided into four groups and work in pairs. After you arrive at your posts, the
Pass-guarding Commanders will arrange your positions, as well as your accommodation. Although you
are disciples of the Sky-suppressing School and are relatively free to do what you want, you still have
to abide by the laws and regulations of the entire army on the battlefield," Uriel, the elder who was in
charge of the team, briefly explained.
"Elder Uriel, how are the pairs decided?" Eunice asked as soon as she heard the instructions.
"Well, it's up to you. You can choose for yourselves!" Uriel replied indifferently.
"I want to be in the same group as Basil!" Eunice and Carla shouted at the same time.
Hearing that, Moore and the other disciples looked at Rocky with strange expressions on their faces,
wondering why the two beautiful ladies would compete to such an extent just to be his partner.
At the same time, Eunice and Carla stared at each other. It was pretty obvious from the look in their
eyes that they were filled with hostility.
Even Rocky couldn't help but shake his head and let out a bitter smile.
"If you can't decide for yourselves, I think Eunice and Basil would be a better pair since they're both
from the Di Clan. It means that they could cooperate well. Carla, you can team up with Moore instead. I
believe that you are also going to make major achievements if you work together." Uriel thought for a
moment and came up with a decision to avoid further squabble.
Since Uriel already decided, Carla couldn't object anymore. But of course, it was pretty obvious from
her delicate face that she was disappointed with the outcome.
"Soon enough, we will reach the Tiger Whisker Pass. Basil and Eunice, you can go and work in that
area," Uriel remarked.
"Okay, sir." Rocky and Eunice nodded at the same time.
About two hours later, the spiritual beasts carrying the team had finally descended in the Tiger Whisker
Pass.
Since the commander there received the news in advance about the disciples that would join them, he
sent the deputy commander to receive them.
"Greetings! I'm Bertram Fei, the deputy commander of the Tiger Whisker Pass. Thank you for coming
all the way here. Please follow me so that you could rest first," Bertram Fei said respectfully. They were
instantly given special treatment since they were from the Sky-suppressing School, and everyone knew
that their strength and skills are undoubtedly powerful. Because the school sent such capable disciples
to provide assistance, it was only natural for Bertram Fei to try his hardest to be on their good side.
"Thank you, but there's no need for that. These two are Basil and Eunice. They will be the ones
working under your care. Please look after them and instruct them of their duties. I and the other
disciples will head straight to the other passes," Uriel responded amiably.
"I see." Bertram Fei nodded. At the same time, he glanced at Rocky and Eunice, nodding with
satisfaction.
Immediately after, Uriel and the other six disciples got back on the flying spiritual beast and headed
towards the other passes.
"All right. Please follow me," Bertram Fei said as soon as Uriel and the others had left.
At the same time, Rocky and Eunice quickly followed behind.
Along the way, Rocky noticed that the Tiger Whisker Pass was located between cliffs. The first three
miles of the pass were built on complex canyons, while the last three miles were established among
hills. With its structure, he thought that it would be quite easy to defend in the area, but it would be
difficult to launch an attack.
Not long after, the two of them were brought to a house in the pass. Although the house was a little
shabby, the inside was very clean and tidy. It was obviously cleaned properly because of the disciples
that would occupy it.
"In the following days, the two of you will stay here," Bertram Fei uttered as he showed them the house.
"Thank you, Deputy Commander Bertram. By the way, when can we see the commander?" Rocky
asked straightforwardly.
"Hmm. He's currently patrolling the frontline. So, I guess he wouldn't be back until tomorrow," Bertram
Fei replied.
"Oh, okay then." Rocky slightly nodded.
"Well, for now, you can rest here. I know that your journey towards this place has been a long one. As
for your posts in the army, we will arrange it after you meet our commander," Bertram Fei informed.
After speaking to them and giving some initial instructions, he eventually left.
Seeing that the two beds were arranged side by side without any partition, Eunice couldn't help but
frown a bit.
"Basil, I'll go out for a while." Eunice suddenly thought of something and went out right away.
However, when she came back, Rocky was the one who had disappeared.
"Tch. Where did that guy run?" She had actually looked around and brought back a rope and an old
curtain to make a simple screen between the two beds. After all, they were still a man and a woman
that were about to share a single room.
As for Rocky, when he left the house, he went out of the Tiger Whisker Pass to find a place where he
could release Glutton.
"I finally got out! I've been so bored in your Magic Spiritual Space!" As soon as Glutton came out, it
complained while stretching. When Rocky was still in the Sky-suppressing School, it had always been
in the Magic Spiritual Space since Rocky was afraid of causing any disturbance if he released it. After
all, Glutton was a legendary beast, and there was a huge possibility that it could cause an unnecessary
disorder.
"Can you still remember the auras of Marcia and the others?" Rocky asked Glutton immediately.
"You want me to find them?" Glutton instantly understood what Rocky meant. "That's right. I don't want
to waste any time but I can't act on my own right now.
I would need to ask you to go to the frontline and see if you can find the whereabouts of them..." Rocky
said with a serious expression.
"All right. At least I've got to wander around after a long time." Glutton didn't have any objection
because it was also better for it to act alone.
"Remember, don't expose your identity..." Rocky warned.
"I know. You're such a worrywart." Glutton pursed its lips and disappeared shortly after.
