"I'm not completely sure, but I can give it a shot," Rocky replied.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Commander Ling asked.
"Please gather all the spirit warriors under your command. I'm going to need their help!" Rocky
responded quickly.
"No problem." Commander Ling nodded immediately. At the moment, he was regarding Rocky as a life-
saving straw. Although it seemed idiotic for a commander of a troop to blindly pin their hopes on one
person, there was nothing else he could do now. Since he didn't want to lose the front line of the
western region, he could only place his hopes on Rocky.
"As for the rest of the soldiers, please make them retreat from their current position to a place at least
one mile away from the river and prepare an ambush. If I succeed, you can launch a surprise attack
and completely annihilate all the soldiers of the spiritual race who would be desperate to come ashore.
If I fail, your soldiers will at least remain safe and sound. You will still be able to stage a counterattack
in the future!" Rocky carefully laid out his plans.
"Are you really telling us to retreat?" Commander Ling certainly didn't want to show an act of cowardice
like that. If he did, there was no doubt that he would be a laughingstock among the other commanders
in the future.
"Commander Ling, if you believe in me, do as I say. You've suffered a great loss before. If you still want
to repeat the same mistake twice, I will no longer meddle in this matter," Rocky said seriously. If
Commander Ling hadn't allowed the deputy commander to mess around, the current situation would
not be like that.
"Well then, I'll lead the army to retreat about a mile south of the position to prepare an ambush while
waiting for further orders. If you succeed, I'll lead the army to launch a surprise attack and kill the
enemy troops." Commander Ling finally compromised after a long moment.
Satisfied with his answer, Rocky nodded and walked out of the camp.
"What are you three still doing here? Get ready immediately!" Commander Ling shouted at the three
deputy commanders.
Of course, the three deputy commanders quickly left the camp. All three of them felt dejected.
Not long after, the spiritual warrior that Rocky asked for were gathered, while the rest of the soldiers
were led by Commander Ling to retreat from the position.
Barely an hour had passed and Rocky was already leading the armed team of spirit warriors to the
bank of the Mochy River.
Every inch of the area along their side of the river had been occupied by the giant spiritual toad beasts.
They were lined up in a row and made the place within a hundred meters a dangerous area. At the
moment, it looked more like the stronghold of the beasts than a riverbank.
"Listen up, I'll lead a few beasts towards this place later. You all better be ready. After I inject them with
medicinal liquid, they'll temporarily lose their ability to attack. Listen to my orders carefully and tie them
up later. Do you understand?" Rocky said, turning to look at the gathered spirit warriors.
Now that there were too many beasts, it was impossible for Rocky to be able to inject the medicinal
liquid into them all at once. In order to finish his job using the least amount of time possible, he would
have to inject them with the medicinal liquid in batches.
All the spirit warriors nodded their heads when they heard his instructions, and then Rocky quickly went
straight towards the giant spiritual toad beasts.
At the same moment, the girl from the spiritual race who was controlling the beasts was sitting on a
stone on the riverbank, waiting for the troops of the spiritual race to cross the river. It wasn't long before
she sensed the approaching aura. When she turned around, her eyes immediately landed on Rocky.
Her beautiful eyes widened as she said, "It's you again. How dare you show up once more? Do you
really want to die that badly?"
"Little girl, you're no longer young, but you still have a violent temper," Rocky responded, his lips pulling
into a mocking smile.
"Cut the crap. I won't let you get out of this place alive today," the girl shouted. Not even a moment
later, about eight beasts rushed towards Rocky.
When Rocky saw the stampeding beasts rushing towards him, he immediately turned around and flew
away.
"Don't let him get away." Once she saw that Rocky didn't even try to fight back but immediately ran
away instead, the girl didn't give his actions too much concern and merely ordered the beasts to hunt
him down.
Therefore, the four beasts in the front chased after Rocky like crazy, which was exactly his plan since it
left them at his mercy.
It did not take long before Rocky led those beasts to the area where the spirit warriors set up their
ambush.
Without missing a beat, he quickly took out the largest syringe from the Magic Spiritual Space. A large
amount of medicine filled the syringe, it was capable of neutralizing the corrosive saliva of those beasts
and weakening their strength.
Of course, none of the beasts realized that a crisis was approaching them, and they continued to rush
towards Rocky recklessly. In the blink of an eye, Rocky injected each of them with the medicinal liquid.
When they were about to attack by spitting out their corrosive saliva, they quickly discovered that they
could not spit out anything.
"Guys, move!" Rocky immediately ordered.
Each of the spirit warriors, who waited patiently for a long time, burst out from all directions and rushed
towards the beasts.
Even though they were tall and strong, the beasts were at a disadvantage without their corrosive saliva.
About fifty spirit warriors worked together to quickly tie up the beasts.
"Well done, but I still need to lure some more." Rocky quickly praised them before walking back
towards the bank of the river again.
Once she noticed that her beasts chasing after Rocky had disappeared, the girl could not help but be
puzzled. Right when she was about to look for them, Rocky alone appeared before her once again.
"There's no need to look for your beasts. I've killed them all already," Rocky bragged, immediately
seeing through her thoughts.
"What? You killed them? Do you know how long I've kept those beasts? Yet, you actually killed them!"
The girl's complexion turned flushed in her anger.
"Are you mad enough to kill me? Give it your best shot!" Rocky said defiantly.
"Go! Attack him!" It was obvious that the anger got to the girl's head. She ordered ten beasts to attack
Rocky at the same time.
Of course, Rocky would not just stand there and wait for his death to come. Without any hesitation, he
turned tail to retreat again.
Since the girl's mission was to defend the area along the river, she couldn't personally chase after
Rocky. Therefore, she was forced to just watch Rocky disappear right before her very eyes while he
was chased by her beasts. There was nothing else for her to do but to angrily stomp her feet on the
ground.
After luring the beasts to the ambush point again, Rocky repeated the same thing he did earlier. As a
result, he once again easily captured the beasts.
Admiration filled the gazes of the spirit warriors when they looked at Rocky. At first they were extremely
worried about the beasts that they were unable to fight against before, but now they were subdued so
easily.
"We're almost done." Once he was done with the first phase of his plan, Rocky immediately walked to
one of the beasts and began to brainwash it with the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill, forcing it to
obey his orders.
Fortunately, none of the beasts could actually recognize their master, and they were just tamed to be
obedient and follow orders, so it was easier to brainwash them. It was still rather difficult to control so
many of them.
However, everything was possible for Rocky!
