"Basil, what are you doing back here?" Tucker asked, staring at Rocky with wide eyes.
"Sir, have you dispatched any troops to Deadwood Pass to support the grand commander?" Rocky asked immediately.
"Yes, I have. I sent Deputy Commander Lin and he took five thousand soldiers with him to help Grand Commander You. I saw it as a chance for us to make more contributions. I have faith in all our other commanders at the front line. They will all do the same," Tucker replied in a confident voice.
"This is not good." Rocky felt glued to the spot. Previously, they had moved ten thousand soldiers to Bear Pass, and now, another five thousand had gone to Deadwood Pass. That left less than twenty thousand soldiers guarding Tiger Whisker Pass. If the troops of the spiritual race were to come here, it would be like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water.
"Why? What happened?" Now, Tucker's face had darkened too.
Rocky briefly explained what he had been thinking lately, making Tucker break out in a cold sweat.
"Really? Why would the spiritual race waste so much effort just to attack Tiger Whisker Pass? It doesn't make sense." Tucker shook his head slowly.
"I know I'm right, even if no one else believes me. The spiritual race must have a purpose that we don't know about yet. If we were to lose Tiger Whisker Pass, they would completely overpower us. We would have real problems by then," Rocky replied.
"Are you one hundred percent sure?" Beads of sweat were now rolling down Tucker's forehead. Some guilt had mixed in with his fear.
