A few days later, all the armies of the Magic Phoenix Empire withdrew smoothly. After their integration,
Erica, as their commander in chief, led the army and left the Magic Phoenix Empire as soon as
possible.
Meanwhile, the Magic Phoenix Empire's queen and Felicia went to the Holy Dragon Empire to accept
their surrender terms. Alston was pleased that the Magic Phoenix Empire's queen was wise enough to
know which road to take. In this way, he avoided big trouble of defeating the Magic Phoenix Empire.
What delighted him more was that he now controlled all the human empires in the Wild Spirit Land.
The queen's surrender made Alston the first powerful leader of the spiritual race and the human race
since the beginning of the Wild Spirit Land's history!
But it didn't take long for Alston to learn that the real purpose of Rocky's marriage to Erica was to buy
time for the transfer of the Magic Phoenix Empire's army. Now that the army had followed Rocky and
Erica, only an empty shell was left.
Alston was so furious that he imprisoned Magic Phoenix Empire's queen and Felicia. Now, they waited
for their punishment.
As the queen and Felicia had sacrificed themselves, the people of the Magic Phoenix Empire were
safe. Even though Rocky and Erica took the army away, the empire still fell into Alston's hands. Now
that the empire was finally his, Alston would not kill people randomly on his land.
After that, Alston's first action was to figure out the best way to deal with Rocky and the United Army.
Therefore, he immediately ordered Alyssa to send troops to guard the Magic Phoenix Empire and
prevent the United Army from taking any advantage.
After receiving the order, Alyssa, of course, grew anxious. The troops she had to guard the Holy
Dragon Empire and the Timber Deity Empire were already insufficient. Now she needed to send some
to protect the Magic Phoenix Empire. Whatever few soldiers she could spare would be like a drop in
the bucket.
As the spiritual race's army had unparalleled mobility, she thought it was better to use them than to
send all the human armies to guard the Magic Phoenix Empire. However, as the number of the spiritual
race's army was too small, she had to compromise by guarding only a few critical strategic positions. At
the same time, they could also assist the surrounding defensive positions.
A month later, under Alyssa's careful arrangement, the Holy Dragon Empire, the Timber Deity Empire,
and the Magic Phoenix Empire formed an allied front line. It stretched from the east of the Holy Dragon
Empire, crossing over half the empire to connect with the Timber Deity Empire by the Gehenna Border.
Then, it extended from the north of the Timber Deity Empire to the Magic Phoenix Empire's territory,
which circled almost half the entire Wild Spirit Land. It was indeed a fantastic feat!
More surprisingly, Alyssa only used less than two hundred thousand human troops to form the stable
allied front line within the three empires.
As the United Army was stronger due to the Magic Phoenix Empire's army's addition, they besieged
the allied front line. Over the next two months, no matter how hard they attacked, they could not break
through the front line. What compromised their numbers was that they were also violently
counterattacked.
Aside from leveraging the terrain's advantage, Alyssa strengthened their position by re-conquering the
human empires that the United Army had previously taken back.
Considering the situation, the United Army was in a passive position despite the addition of troops. On
the contrary, the morale of the military Alyssa led was high.
Three months passed.
"Command in Chief, I bring the latest information," a soldier said to Alyssa. According to the
information, at the time, there was an army of one hundred thousand in Myriad Beasts Ground at the
Gehenna Border between the Timber Deity Empire and the Holy Dragon Empire.
It never occurred to Alyssa that such a massive army would quietly gather right under her nose!
The Myriad Beasts Ground was a very dangerous and mysterious place. Naturally, no human would
approach the area, let alone an army. This is precisely why she hadn't focused on it.
However, the Butterfly Divine Clan, which was one of many spiritual race clans, had provided security
for the United Army, enabling them to circumvent the danger.
Ever since the Butterfly Divine Clan's revival, they developed their strength based on the Myriad Beasts
Ground. Now, the clan had over a thousand members. Of course, thanks to Rocky's genetic
technology, the Butterfly Divine Clan's fertility had improved significantly. As he had assisted them
tremendously, the Butterfly Divine Clan was grateful and tried their best to help the United Army.
What was not well-known was that this group of United Army had been stationed there since the Magic
Phoenix Empire fell into the hands of Alston. The group had also quietly increased in strength and
numbers while Alyssa was busy setting up the allied front line. Their purpose was to wait for the best
time to attack the enemies.
According to Rocky's plan, although the United Army had the absolute advantage in terms of strength,
they had to appear vulnerable and weak. For this reason, despite their repeated attacks, the United
Army didn't breach the enemies' allied front line.
In these past few months, it appeared that the United Army had been seriously defeated by the Glory
Army. Yet, it was merely a disguise arranged by Rocky. During the time, Rocky used the opportunity to
gather information. Not only was he closely monitoring the entire allied front line, but he also formed a
special reconnaissance team to observe and collect intelligence on all positions of the allied front line.
As the particulars poured in, Rocky analyzed the information and searched for flaws that he could
exploit to their advantage.
Alyssa was indeed a genius. With only two hundred thousand troops, she was able to defend the three
empires. In fact, she was so competent that it appeared as though the three empires were strongly
fortified. If it had been any other opponent, they would probably be at a loss for how to defeat her army.
However, Alyssa's opponent was Rocky.
"Marcia, instruct Chief Bryant to lead fifty thousand soldiers to attack the Timber Deity Empire's White
Dragon Slope. Don't attack too vigorously, as they just need to hold the enemy back. Also, tell Isis to
divide the West United Army into two groups. The first will go around the Magic Phoenix Empire's
Autumn Rain River and ambush the Heavenly Dragon Border. Simultaneously, the other will attack the
border between the Magic Phoenix Empire and the Timber Deity Empire. Instruct the army to use their
full force," Rocky announced after making his strategy.
At present, the morale of the Glory Army led by Alyssa had significantly been boosted because of their
continued victory in skirmishes with the United Army. However, the higher their confidence, the more
likely that they would underestimate their opponents. Therefore, Rocky felt that it was time for them to
show their real strength.
"So we are going to break through the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line first?" Marcia heard
Rocky's plans and immediately understood his intentions.
"The Timber Deity Empire is the battle center between the Holy Dragon Empire and the Magic Phoenix
Empire. Alyssa's defensive line also extends to the Holy Dragon Empire and the Magic Phoenix
Empire, using the Timber Deity Empire as their base. It appears as though Alyssa is most confident of
their defensive line in the Timber Deity Empire. Besides, she is unfamiliar with the Holy Dragon
Empire's and the Magic Phoenix Empire's terrain. This is why she chose the Timber Deity Empire as
their base. If the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line collapses, it would inevitably affect both the Holy
Dragon Empire's and the Magic Phoenix Empire's. Their entire defensive line may crumble if we are
successful," Rocky said confidently. After studying the allied front line as deployed by Alyssa over the
past few months, he was certain that the Timber Deity Empire's defensive line was the enemies'
biggest weakness.
