Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1829 The War

"By the way, what have you gained from your trip to the spiritual race, Chief Colton?" Rocky asked immediately, eager to hear what the chief would say.

"Obviously they don't want to join hands with us in a fight against the Shura Race. Humph, I reckon it's because the Shura Race is only sending their troops to the human race, so the spiritual race doesn't see the need to preemptively participate in the war.” Colton breathed a troubled sigh "That's just as I expected. Have you made preparations for the war?" Rocky asked.

"I've already met the leaders of the Sky-suppressing Mansion and the Sovereign Pavilion. This time, they are willing to do their best to help our Di Clan. After all, winning the war would ensure the survival of the human race,” Colton replied.

"That's good. Before we left the Shura Race, we learned that they already sent out a spearhead. I reckon they've already reached the border,” Rocky reported. He had collected a lot of valuable intel while he had been in the Shura Race.

"Yes. I heard from the frontier yesterday that the spearhead of the Shura Race has arrived,” Colton added with a solemn nod.

"Then who will be the commander in chief of our human army this time?" Rocky asked again.

"We haven't settled it yet. Hey, since you're back, why don't you be the commander in chief?” A light bulb went on in Colton’s head. In his eyes, there was no one more suitable than Rocky to lead the human race through war.

"I'll take a pass on that one. I'm more suited to be a hero behind the scenes. I don't want to be the commander in chief. I'm actually planning to form an army of my own," Rocky revealed a plan of his own.

"Your own army?" Colton glanced at Rocky in confusion.

"Chief Colton, if you were the one who said it, I would have no second thoughts offering my service to you. But if it's him, then I'm sorry, but I won't accept it," Holden said unhappily. It was obvious that he wasn't fond of Rocky.

"Why?" Colton immediately asked Holden.

"Although it is undeniable that he's powerful, he is only about the same age as us and is only stronger in a few aspects. I doubt many of us will be convinced that he'll be able to lead us to victory,” Holden answered frankly. He was the first one to express his doubt.

"That's right. It's impossible for us to work under him." Some Spiritual Emperors who were older than Rocky also voiced out their concern

"Calm down, everyone. I believe Basil is more qualified to be a leader than any of you are. If it weren't for him, the human race wouldn't have been able to defeat the spiritual race back then,” Colton said as he raised his right hand to silence the Spiritual Emperors.

"Chief Colton, what do you mean?" Michelle asked immediately. Although she understood what Colton meant, she couldn't believe it.

"To put it simply, Basil was the one who helped the human race win the war against the spiritual race. Only a handful of people know this,” Colton reiterated.

The Spiritual Emperors looked at each other in disbelief. Who would have thought that Rocky was the great hero of the human race?

"I trust him with my life!" Colton said with certainty.

"Chief Colton, even so, at least let us know the plan against the Shura Race!" another Spiritual Emperor suggested.

Colton cast a glance at Rocky.

"That plan is currently confidential. I'm not forcing you to join me; you're free to leave anytime if you don't want to stay,” Rocky answered as he waved he hand.

The Spiritual Emperors once again looked at each other as they tried to figure out what to do. There must be another reason why Colton trusted him so much. With a war pending to start at any moment, all of them were eager to help the human race. What was more, if they helped win the war, their prestige in the Ethereal Region would surely improve.

"I am willing to join you." Of course, there were also those who expressed their support for Rocky, such as Carla, who was the first one to join him.

"Me too." Lilith followed immediately.

Several other Spiritual Emperors also followed and raised their hands to show their willingness to join Rocky's independent army.

But still, most of them were hesitant.

"I'll join too.” Out of the blue, Michelle also raised her hand.

"Michelle, what are you doing?" Holden didn't expect this and felt as if he was being betrayed.
