Right after they left the tent, Rocky assembled five thousand soldiers which mainly consisted of
members of the Swimming Army and a dozen spirit warriors. He planned to use them to form a surprise
attack troop.
Ten thousand troops, created mostly from the Shield Army and the Changing Army, remained to guard
the Wild Hill Pass. Tucker would have to use the mysterious military arrays that the Shield Army and
the Changing Army had mastered if he wanted to guard the pass for a full day.
Since the spiritual race's army could attack at any time, Rocky quickly led the surprise attack troops
away from the Wild Hill Pass. They walked fast and soon came to a spot that was one mile away from
the Tiger Whisker Pass. That was where they would make their ambush. When the main force of the
spiritual race's army exited the city and departed to attack the Wild Hill Pass, Rocky and his men would
take action.
In past battles, the spiritual race had lost several thousand soldiers, but there were still about forty-five
thousand left. When their main force attacked the Wild Hill Pass, at least twenty thousand soldiers were
going to be left behind. Rocky only had five thousand soldiers with him and they had to win back the
Tiger Whisker Pass. There was no doubt that it would be a challenge.
However, Rocky had prepared for all of that. With the help of a dozen Human-shaped Giant Beasts, the
five thousand soldiers would be able to intimidate the spiritual race's army and face them head on.
Early in the morning of the second day, Phelps personally gathered nearly thirty thousand soldiers and
took them to the Wild Hill Pass, intending to kill all of Tucker's troops. Just under twenty thousand
soldiers were left in the Tiger Whisker Pass, which was less than Rocky had anticipated.
Rocky waited for two hours to confirm that the army led by Phelps had arrived at the Wild Hill Pass.
Then, he immediately summoned the Human-shaped Giant Beasts from the Magic Spiritual Space and
placed them on the left side of the city wall of the Tiger Whisker Pass. Because he had taken the time
to modify the spiritual beasts, they followed all his orders without hesitation.
The leaders of the remaining soldiers that were guarding the Tiger Whisker Pass were the two
commanders of the spiritual race and Phelps' subordinates.
After learning that a group of spiritual beasts had attacked the city, the two commanders were left
confused. They hurried to the city wall and were further dumbfounded to find that the spiritual beasts
outside of it were the Human-shaped Giant Beasts they had brought here.
"Where did these spiritual beasts come from?" the commander wearing the yellow robe asked, not able
to take his eyes off of the huge beasts.
"I thought they had been killed," the commander wearing the blue robe replied, also looking confused.
"Commander, how should we deal with them?" a deputy commander asked, looking to his leaders for
further instructions.
"Summon all the beast tamers out of the city and see if they can subdue the spiritual beasts!" the
commander wearing the blue robe ordered after sharing a glance with the other one.
They assigned a team of three thousand soldiers to protect a group of beast tamers from the spiritual
race. Then, the group marched out of the city. The moment that they approached the Human-shaped
Giant Beasts, the beast tamers tried to tame them once more.
But as soon as the Human-shaped Giant Beasts saw the spiritual race's army, they became enraged.
They charged and trampled on the people as aggressively as they could.
Filled with fear, the spiritual race's army gathered the beast tamers and rushed them back into the city.
After they saw that several beast tamers were unable to stop the Human-shaped Giant Beasts from
approaching the city wall, the two commanders of the spiritual race turned so pale that they were
almost translucent. "Shall we report what's happening to the grand commander right away?" the
commander wearing the yellow robe asked.
"The grand commander is not here. He's leading an army to attack the Wild Hill Pass. We can't ask him
to turn around now. Besides, this is nothing but a herd of spiritual beasts. If we want, we can just order
our spirit warriors to kill them!" It was clear that the commander wearing the blue robe didn't take the
Human-shaped Giant Beasts seriously.
"But these spiritual beasts are powerful. Besides, we don't know if our enemies are behind this. They
could be controlling them..." In comparison, the commander wearing the yellow robe was extremely
cautious.
"How could anyone be able to control them? Ha-ha! Our enemy isn't Beverly," the commander wearing
the blue robe commented, sneering.
"You are right." The commander wearing the yellow robe thought that what his companion had said
made sense.
"There's no need to create fear. Send the spirit warriors to deal with the spiritual beasts."
In no time, the two commanders had made the decision to send in a team made up of dozens of spirit
warriors to slaughter the Human-shaped Giant Beasts.
There wasn't a single worry in their minds that the beasts were under the control of Rocky.
In fact, Rocky didn't only intend for the Human-shaped Giant Beasts to break through the city wall. He
wanted them to draw out the team of spirit warriors from the spiritual race's army. That team was their
core power. Once the team was weakened, the rest of their soldiers would panic and their morale
would plummet.
Therefore, the moment that the spirit warriors of the spiritual race left the city, Rocky led a dozen spirit
warriors towards them.
As the enemy spirit warriors started to battle with the Human-shaped Giant Beasts, Rocky and his team
of spirit warriors began to attack them.
Fortunately, despite the large number of spirit warriors from the spiritual race, most of them were at the
Spirit Realm and only a few of them were at the primary stage of the Spiritual Infant. Rocky could
defeat them all in minutes.
Plus, he was able to manipulate a dozen Human-shaped Giant Beasts to help them at the same time.
After surrounding the spirit warriors, Rocky, his men, and the Human-shaped Giant Beasts turned the
spirit warriors from the spiritual race into easy prey.
In less than four hours, most of the spirit warriors from the spiritual race had been killed or injured.
The two commanders of the spiritual race had no way of guessing that Rocky had planned to advance
with a group of spirit warriors from the human race and work together with the Human-shaped Giant
Beasts. In the end, the spirit warriors they had sent out fell into their enemy's trap.
When they saw that the situation was turning ugly, the two commanders from the spiritual race ordered
for the rest of their spirit warriors to retreat. Out of dozens of spirit warriors, only a dozen had managed
to escape and reenter the city.
The fact that the spiritual race's army had lost a lot of men caused the soldiers' morale to dwindle and
quickly.
Meanwhile, without any resistance, the Human-shaped Giant Beasts instantly encroached on the left
side of the Tiger Whisker Pass's city wall and launched a powerful attack.
Although the spiritual race's troops who were guarding the pass tried their best to resist the attack,
without the help of the spirit warriors, they were unable to stop it.
In less than half a day, the beasts had managed to put a large hole in the left side of the city wall.
Now that they had an opening, Rocky led a group of five thousand soldiers, which mainly consisted of
the Swimming Army and spirit warriors, to attack from the outside of the opening. They allowed the
Human-shaped Giant Beasts to provide them with some protection. But soon, they were blocked by the
strong force of the spiritual race's army ahead of them.
