Even the masked man in the red robe, who was the Commander in Chief of the mysterious army, also
had a strange feeling after getting the message from within the Munoz Pass. However, he still
mobilized several thousand soldiers as the vanguard to enter and investigate the entire area.
Immediately after, the vanguard soldiers that entered the Munoz Pass had dispersed and explored
every nook and cranny of the pass.
"It seemed that they are inside those holes." Soon enough, the vanguard soldiers were able to detect
that the soldiers of the Black Dragon Group were hiding within the holes and staying underground.
However, since the opening of the holes was not wide enough, they did not dare to jump directly inside.
Since there was no other way to launch an attack, they were kind of at a loss for their next step.
Meanwhile, there suddenly appeared several dragon shadows behind the city wall where Boyd was
hung. There were more than ten of such dragon shadows that looked like huge dark clouds. Under
them, it could be seen that they also carried multiple types of strong land spirit-manipulated beasts.
Some of the land spirit-manipulated beasts had long, sharp thorns all over their bodies; some wore
steel armors, while some had huge sharp horns on their heads. Moreover, their sizes were much larger
than the usual kind of spirit-manipulated beasts, making them appear very destructive.
As the group of dragon beasts flew into the Munoz Pass, the ropes beneath them, where the land
spirit-manipulated beasts hung, were cut off one by one.
Thus, within a few seconds, all of the land spirit-manipulated beasts landed on the ground with a loud
bang. Without wasting any time, the spirit manipulators riding on their backs immediately commanded
them to rush towards the scattered soldiers of the mysterious army within the Munoz Pass.
These land spirit-manipulated beasts were like massive chariots with extreme devastating power. Once
they came into contact with the enemies, the damage they could inflict would be severe.
These beasts were the secret weapons arranged by Rocky. They were sent here directly from the
Crimson City. They had undergone gene modification that strengthened some of their aspects and
characteristics, so that they could play greater roles, especially in war.
At the same time, the huge dragon beasts that carried the land spirit-manipulated beasts also
cooperated with the beasts on the ground. They hurled attacks from the air while the land spirit-
manipulated beasts annihilated the enemies from the ground.
While the fierce battle ensued, a signal rose in the air of the Munoz Pass.
Soon after, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Group, who were hiding within the holes, climbed out and
joined the fray. They took advantage of the chaos while their enemies were busy taking care of the
joined attacks from the dragon beasts and the land spirit-manipulated beasts.
About two hours later, almost all the members of the vanguard were vanquished. On the other hand,
there was almost no loss on the side of the Black Dragon Group and the land spirit-manipulated
beasts. They were able to reduce the damage to a minimum while successfully eliminating the enemies
inside the city walls.
However, there wasn't time to celebrate yet. While the land spirit-manipulated beasts acted as support,
all of the soldiers of the Black Dragon Group inside the Munoz Pass rushed out and dealt with the
remaining enemies outside. Bearing great confidence and determination, they charged at their
opponents without any hint of fear.
Due to the excellent fighting ability of the land spirit-manipulated beasts, even the numerous soldiers of
the mysterious army outside quickly fell into a complete mess. It didn't take too long before they were
also killed one after another.
Meanwhile, the battle wasn't over. The two groups led by Isis, Sabina, and Lucilla, with five thousand
soldiers each, also rushed back and headed towards the mysterious army from both sides. With their
forces attacking from the left and right sides, and the main force of the Black Dragon Group, together
with the land spirit-manipulated beasts, attacking upfront, they formed an atrocious three-side pincer
attack.
Although it was clear that the overall combat prowess of the mysterious army was far superior to the
Black Dragon Group's, formulating a formidable strategy was what could change the tide of the battle.
Moreover, the decisions made by the Commander in Chief during the actual battle were particularly
important.
With Rocky's intuition and broad-mindedness, he was able to turn their passive situation into a
commanding one.
On the other hand, the Commander in Chief of the mysterious army had only set his goal into breaking
through the Munoz Pass, not taking into consideration the damages and injuries that his army could
accumulate. He treated his underlings as disposable pawns, and he also grew impatient, losing sight of
his surroundings just to get what he desired.
"Basil, where the hell are you?! Show yourself!" The masked man in the red robe let out a booming and
terrifying roar.
At the same time, he suddenly felt an aura approaching fast from his side. As he turned, he saw a
distinct figure appear from among his soldiers that were protecting him.
The moment the guards saw this approaching figure, they instantly became vigilant. They
simultaneously rushed towards and surrounded him before he could get any closer.
"At last, you showed yourself." The masked man became extremely thrilled and began to let out a loud
sinister laugh.
The figure who appeared to confront him was no other than Rocky.
From the very beginning, Rocky was already concerned about the strength of the mysterious army's
Commander in Chief. As Rocky heard that this man was able to effortlessly injury Boyd, he felt the
need to personally deal with him when the battle commenced. However, when he approached the
masked man, he instantly felt that the domineering aura being released by him was completely different
from that of a spirit manipulator.
"Don't tell me that you're a spiritual race being…" As he looked at the masked man from dozens of
meters away, Rocky was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Commander in Chief of the
mysterious army was someone from the spiritual race.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Commander in Chief of the mysterious army, who was at the Divine Stage, also
made his move. As he waved his hand, more than a dozen spirit manipulators, whose strength ranged
from the Earthly Stage to the Heavenly Stage, dashed towards Rocky.
However, just as before these spirit manipulators got to Rocky, he suddenly disappeared from their
sight without a trace.
The next moment, they noticed that an agile shadow quickly shuttled through the crowd of the guards
and sprinted towards the masked man at an amazing speed.
Upon seeing this, the Deputy Commander in Chief immediately leaped and attempted to stop Rocky
from further approaching his leader. His aura rose all over his body and unleashed a spiritual light that
smoothly intertwined. It turned out that he was a spirit manipulator from the spiritual race—a primordial
spirit manipulator.
Nevertheless, Rocky wasn't even fazed and didn't avert his eyes from the masked man, who was
staring back at him with eyes full of hatred.
Both men's eyes darted sparks as they glared at each other.
Rocky knew that this man had deep animosity towards him from the look of his eyes. Therefore, he
was further intrigued by the real identity of this masked man.
The Deputy Commander in Chief was fuming in anger when Rocky just dismissed him as if he didn't
exist. After all, he was a master at the preliminary grade of the Divine Stage. It was such an insult that
he was totally ignored. Therefore, he quickly dashed towards Rocky, like a blazing meteor. He gathered
his spiritual power in his fists and displayed the spiritual martial arts attacks at the Divine Stage.
"Take this! Wind Breaking Fist!" As he steadily approached Rocky, he forcefully swung his fists. In an
instant, a strong wave of wind was stirred up under the ground, turning into a roaring gale. In the blink
of an eye, the area within dozens of meters around Rocky was fully engulfed by the violent whirlwind.
Within seconds, the entire yellow sand land was in a complete mess.
When the Deputy Commander in Chief saw that Rocky had no reaction at all, he thought that he
successfully landed a hit on him. He sneered and said, "Ha! That's what you get for underestimating
me!"
However, right after the Deputy Commander in Chief finished speaking, a familiar figure suddenly
brushed past him. He was caught off guard and wasn't able to react quickly. When he was about to
make a move, the figure suddenly burst out a tremendous aura that enveloped his entire body at once,
rendering him motionless.
Within a second, the figure landed about less than two meters away from the masked man and faced
him directly.
