As they relied on the traps that they had set in advance and the cooperation from the three armies'
array, the two sides inevitably fell into a stalemate.
However, as the number of human soldiers gradually decreased, the tide of the battle eventually shifted
in favor of the spiritual race. Unexpectedly, another passage on the right city wall was also breached. It
meant that more soldiers from the spiritual race poured inside. With this, they easily established their
advantage over the human army.
Before long, the garrison was forced to retreat one step after another as they lost control of the ruins
within the city walls.
Seeing this, the army of the spiritual race seized the opportunity to push forward. Not long after, more
and more soldiers were able to enter the city to overthrow the forces in it.
After about four hours, there were already more than twenty thousand soldiers of the spiritual race
inside the Tiger Whisker Pass. At the same time, there were still another ten thousand soldiers waiting
outside for the chance to invade the city. Now that the soldiers of the spiritual race were already about
three times as large as the human army, the humans were obviously at a great disadvantage.
However, just as the situation was about to turn really grim, the ground within the Tiger Whisker Pass
suddenly rumbled.
"Commander Wang, order the soldiers to retreat at once!" At this time, a familiar voice echoed.
As Tucker turned his head, he saw that it was Rocky, standing above the head of a Human-shaped
Giant Beast. Moreover, there were also a few more Human-shaped Giant Beasts that followed behind
him.
Realizing Rocky's intention, Tucker immediately commanded the soldiers to retreat and make way for
several passages.
In the blink of an eye, the Human-shaped Giant Beasts that were under Rocky's control passed
through the garrison and intercepted the aggressive army of the spiritual race.
At the sight of the huge beasts, the members of the spiritual race were naturally frightened and caught
off guard.
However, the three commanders of the spiritual race were able to react quickly and gather some spirit
warriors to resist and stop the advancement of the Human-shaped Giant Beasts.
Rocky instantly saw the movements of the commanders, so he also made his move, not intending to
give them a chance for a counterattack. Then, he flew down from the head of the beast, unsheathed
his Mystical Dragon Sword, and instantly threw them at the incoming commanders.
But from the perspective of the commanders, they didn't think that Rocky was that powerful to take
them on. Hence, only one of them confronted him at first. The commander swung his hammers with a
violent force, intending to smash Rocky in one go.
However, even before the hammers of the commander could reach Rocky, he had already moved
passed by him. In the blink of an eye, Rocky was able to easily evade the continuous attacks of the
hammers and swiftly rush towards the other two commanders.
Seeing the unexpected outcome, the two commanders quickly looked at each other and nodded. Then,
the one in a red robe and silver armor stepped forward in an attempt to stop Rocky by himself.
Unexpectedly, Rocky also turned a blind eye to him and just swiftly brushed past him. He dodged the
commander in the red robe and rushed toward the last one who had not made a move yet.
Rocky knew that the last commander, who didn't confront him, must be the strongest among the three.
It was clear to him that he had to take down the strongest one first in order to instantly disrupt the
rhythm and morale of the spiritual race's army.
It turned out that the last commander had the strength that was equivalent to the Spiritual Infant at the
third grade. It meant that he would not be that easy to deal with. Thus, it was indeed a must that Rocky
brought him down as soon as possible.
When the commander saw Rocky's actions, he instantly knew what was on his mind. He scoffed at
Rocky's overconfidence and shot out a spiritual spear.
Clang!
In a flash, the spiritual spear and the Mystical Dragon Sword collided midair, creating a powerful energy
wave that spread out in all directions.
Immediately after, the Mystical Dragon Sword bounced back and fell into Rocky's hand again.
"Do you really think that you could bring me down? What a ridiculous human! You don't even know
your limitation!" The commander looked disdainfully at Rocky as he revealed an arrogant expression.
"I don't only think that I can defeat you. I am sure about it. Well, you are the strongest among these
people, so I should kill you first. It's just basic military tactic. Capture the ringleader first and it won't be
a problem capturing the followers," Rocky answered indifferently.
"You know that I am the strongest and you still dare to confront me? What an ignorant bastard! Fine, I
will fulfill your death wish!" The commander felt rather insulted by Rocky's remarks.
"How can you be so sure that you can easily defeat me? You underestimate my power," Rocky replied
with a defiant sneer.
"Humph! I can perceive that your aura is nothing compared to mine. Your Spiritual Infant is probably
just at the second grade," the commander said as he carefully assessed Rocky's aura. "Let's say that
you are just hiding your real strength, but your Spiritual Infant should just be at the third grade at most.
In that case, there's no doubt that I can defeat you!" the commander added.
"Then, why don't you just shut up and try if you can?" Rocky retorted provokingly.
"Commander Wei, do you need us to help you?" The other two commanders who were easily avoided
by Rocky earlier offered to fight alongside the strongest commander.
"No need. Go and stop those Human-shaped Giant Beasts. I can take care of this delusional brat,"
Commander Wei said with brimming confidence. At this point, his fighting spirit was already stimulated
by Rocky to the extreme.
Hearing this, the two commanders didn't argue and just continued to resist the Human-shaped Giant
Beasts together with the rest of the spirit warriors of the spiritual race.
However, they didn't expect that the Human-shaped Giant Beasts were too aggressive. After all, they
had been injected with a kind of special genetic fluid that greatly boosted their strength and physique.
As a result, even with the combined efforts of the two commanders to lead the army, the Human-
shaped Giants Beasts still managed to wreak havoc, ruthlessly slaughtering the soldiers of the spiritual
race and dyeing the area red with their blood.
Meanwhile, Rocky and Commander Wei are confronting each other.
As they clashed, Rocky had to admit that the commander was really powerful compared to the others
that he had already encountered. With his sturdy armor, Rocky had difficulty inflicting damage.
Fortunately, because of the presence of the ferocious Human-shaped Giant Beasts, the situation inside
the city became balanced again. At the same time, the soldiers of the spiritual race, which were outside
the walls, were completely blocked off.
However, the overall situation still didn't look too good for the human army.
"Commander Wang, how long are we going to hold on? If Deputy Commander Lin and his army won't
be able to make it, I'm afraid that we might all die here," Deputy Commander Ma said anxiously.
Obviously, he and many others were fearful of the current situation.
"We can't lose the Tiger Whisker Pass no matter what!" Tucker answered sternly. "Let's go. We can't let
Spiritual King Basil fight alone! We must also do our best to help him."
Soon enough, Tucker led the human army to fight alongside the Human-shaped Giant Beasts. With
their combined strength, they became successful in resisting the attacks of the spiritual race.
Meanwhile, the army led by Maxwell was now in position, stealthily lurking outside the camp of the
spiritual race's army which was tasked to protect their food and other provisions. They were actually
here on Rocky's instructions, and as expected, the army of the spiritual race was stationed on the spot
where Rocky had predicted. However, upon closer inspection, Maxwell saw that the place was being
guarded by about two thousand people, which was twice their number.
"Everyone, our task is an important one and we should complete it at all costs. We can't let Spiritual
King Basil and the others down. Whether they can defend the Tiger Whisker Pass defends on us now."
Maxwell gave a brief speech to encourage his team before they commenced their operation.
These one thousand soldiers had been prepared to die before coming here, so they were not afraid of
taking on the enemy at all.
"Move!" Maxwell waved his hands and issued the order to attack.
The next moment, the troop rushed forth.
As expected, the soldiers that guarded the food and provisions were shocked upon realizing that they
were being infiltrated by the human army.
The army of the spiritual race started to resist Maxwell's soldiers, but it turned out that they were not
that skillful compared to the soldiers in the front line. After all, they seldom engaged in real battles.
Thus, even though they were outnumbered, Maxwell's team easily gained the upper hand.
