Chapter 1639 The Troy Plan

"Then please say it. I'll listen carefully," Colton said earnestly.

"Grand Commander Marcia, I'll leave it to you!" Rocky smiled at Marcia.

"Okay." Marcia nodded. She walked to the sand table in the middle of the tent and began to explain the strategic plan that she and Rocky had come up with before.

The two of them had developed this plan based on their understanding of Alyssa. In other words, they had predicted the strategy that Alyssa would use and come up with a counter-strategy to fight against her. Their plan left Colton, who had been fighting in the battlefield for a long time, stunned, because their strategy was simply unheard of. It had never been seen before in the history of war in the Supreme Ether Land.

This strategic plan was aptly named "The Troy Plan" by Rocky.

In fact, anyone from the modern world would know that this name was referring to the invasion of the Trojan horses. The reason why Rocky used this name was because their strategic plan was to attack the vital parts of the spiritual race army in a hidden and unpredictable way, like the invasion of the Trojan horses.

The most terrifying-and also the most effective part of this plan was that they could disintegrate the fighting power of the entire spiritual race army with the least number of troops. Of course, the plan also had its corresponding risks.

Colton's expression became unusually serious after he heard about the risks of the plan. If the plan failed, it was very likely that all the troops sent out would be annihilated.

After Marcia finished explaining the plan, Rocky looked at Colton intently. "Commander in Chief, that's the general outline of our plan. Could you please give us some advice?"

"How confident are you about this plan?" Colton asked thoughtfully. He had to ponder it over before arriving at any decision.

"The two of us came with this plan. If we didn't have absolute confidence in it, we wouldn't have brought it up to you," Rocky replied with certainty.

"Then how many men do you need to execute this plan?" Colton continued.

Rocky exchanged a glance with Marcia before saying, "Grand Commander Marcia and I need one hundred thousand soldiers each."

"That's two hundred thousand soldiers in total. Although it's not too many people, given our current situation, it can be considered a considerable force..." Colton knew that he had to give it careful thought. The middle army had suffered a great loss before, leaving them with a serious deficiency in the number of soldiers. If he dispatched another two hundred thousand soldiers to Rocky and Marcia to carry out this plan, the remaining troops would not be enough to resist the following attacks of the spiritual race army.

However, the Chief of the Di Clan had already asked him to do his best to assist Rocky. Obviously, the Chief trusted Rocky very much. Moreover, Colton was aware that Rocky had merged the Army-blessing Scroll, so it was impossible for him to refuse Rocky's plan.

"How about this? I'll give each of you fifty thousand soldiers to carry out the plan in a month. If it goes well, I'll send more soldiers to you. What do you think?" Colton finally suggested after pondering over it for a while.

"Sure. Thank you so much," Rocky replied, nodding. He knew that the human army wasn't strong enough to spare so many soldiers.

"I hope you won't disappoint our Chief!" Colton added. He had high hopes for Rocky's plan.

Soon, he issued a military order and assigned fifty thousand soldiers each to Rocky and Marcia.

Rocky was only a commander, but he had been given fifty thousand soldiers under his control, which caused a sensation in the human army.

However, it was an order from Colton, so no one dared to question it.

After getting fifty thousand soldiers each, Rocky and Marcia bid farewell to each other and began to implement the Troy Plan.

At that time, the border battlefield of the human race was completely occupied by the troops of the spiritual race, and every important position was guarded by the heavy troops of the spiritual race. Moreover, there were three hundred thousand soldiers of the spiritual race who were targeting the last line of defense of the human race, ready to give the human race a final fatal blow.

The Troy Plan was aimed at solving this current predicament of the human army. Although the forces of the spiritual race army were all over the border battlefield of the human race, they were not familiar with the terrain there. This was the advantage that Rocky and Marcia intended to exploit with the Troy Plan.

The reason why the spiritual race army guarded the important position of the human border battlefield was to prevent the human army from launching a counterattack, so that they could occupy this advantageous spot and form an alliance.

But even though they occupied an important position, since they were not familiar with the terrain, they could not effectively form a complementary connection with their other troops. Most of their forces fought alone. Of course, in the spiritual race army's eyes, since the human army had already retreated to their last line of defense, there was no chance for them to launch a counterattack, so even though they were fighting separately to guard each position, there was no real danger present for them.

This complacency, however, was their gaping weakness that the Troy Plan was aimed at.

On the third day after Rocky and Marcia led their troops away to carry out their plan, the fifty thousand soldiers led by Rocky reached their first destination, the Tiger Gorge, which was an important strategic position on the left battlefield. If they conquered the gorge, it would terrify the enemy troops who were to attack the human's last defense line, the Tiger Whisker Pass, and cut off their supply chain, which would pose a big threat to the whole spiritual race army.

Of course, Rocky did not plan to lead the army to attack the gorge openly. Instead, he ordered his spiritual beasts to dig a secret tunnel and prepared for a surprise attack at night.

By the time the tunnel was dug through, night fell.

In the middle of the night, when the members of the spiritual race relaxed their vigilance, Rocky began to take action.

In order not to give the guards of the spiritual race army the chance to report suspicious activity, Rocky did not directly alert them. Instead, he ordered Eunice, Shirley, and Kye to each lead two hundred soldiers, sneak into the spiritual race army's base camp in the Tiger Gorge through the tunnel and kill all the guards. After that, they had to kill all the horses, spiritual beasts, and Carrier Beasts of the spiritual race army.

At the same time, he arranged another troop to pour kerosene a hundred meters away from the base camp in the gorge to seal off the retreating route of the spiritual race troops.

After the preparation work was finished, Rocky ordered thirty thousand soldiers to wait outside the gorge, while he led another twenty thousand soldiers to attack the base camp of the spiritual race army. At the same time, Eunice and the others were attacking the enemies from within the base camp.

With thirty thousand soldiers of the spiritual race present in the Tiger Gorge, a fierce battle was inevitable. However, because of the sudden attack in the middle of the night, Rocky's troops had the initial advantage. With the help of the mysterious military arrays and Army-blessing Scroll, the spiritual race army could not resist the violent attack of Rocky's army.

At last, the commander of the spiritual race army had no choice but to order his troops to withdraw from their current position.
