Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 352 Three Thousand Soldiers

"You're trying to imply..." With her face turned red as a brick, eyes squinting meanly, Marin was in high dudgeon that Rocky called her chowder headed. She was the Frontline Commander of a significant troop. How did he pluck up courage to utter such word to her?

"But how could the men of Timber Deity Empire be aware of that?" Marin looked sullen, deliberating why the men of Timber Deity Empire were cognizant that Lance was her uncle and Isis daughter of Lance was her cousin. It was strange that the secret was let out, even few people of Crimson Dragon Group were aware of such information.

"When I saw the Deputy Commander in Chief, I got to figure out about it. But I didn't notify her of it, because I was reluctant that she would alter her mind. It is not easy as a piece of cake for Deputy Commander in Chief to keep staying there till now. If I hadn't come back in time, she might have..." Rocky halted as he decided not to finish his utterances.

But Marin had understood. Then she cast her eyes on Rocky and said, "It seems that I should thank you."

"My pleasure.” Rocky smiled like the cat who got the cream.

The Deputy Commander Chen beside totally got muddled about what Marin and Rocky said. He wondered who the relevant person for Deputy Commander in Chief was.

"Thus, once the power-holders of Timber Deity Empire were notified that the northeast army had obtained provisions, they would conceivably change the military strategy. They would have their army invade Rough Slope directly, instead of blockading it," Rocky added.

"The motive of Timber Deity Empire is to force Deputy Commander in Chief to send the army into battle, isn't it? So why would they make up their mind to alter the set of tactics to start the invasion?" Deputy Commander Chen asked.

"Because the army of twenty thousand soldiers of Timber Deity Empire have besieged Rough Slope for a long time. The consumption of provisions and supplies of an army is strikingly large. Now the army is going to run out of what they owned. Assuredly the power-holders of Timber Deity Empire dare not to organize for other soldiers to transport provisions and supplies under the nose of Crimson Dragon Group. So the inadequacy of provisions of the army beleaguering Rough Slope was what the power-holders of Timber Deity Empire undoubtedly perturbed about. If I were the Commander in chief of Timber Deity Empire, I would not continue besieging hard, but start to ravage the whole Rough Slope as promptly as possible, otherwise the army would become unflappable in the war when the provisions and supplies run out.” Rocky shed some light about the situation at the moment.

Hearing what Rocky stated, both Marin and Deputy Commander Chen totally complied with Rocky with an acknowledgment.

"Once the army of twenty thousand soldiers of Timber Deity Empire commences the invasion, we could hardly be impervious to it even for one day. This is what we might encounter next. That is to say, the situation now is actually severer than that of lacking provisions..." Rocky wore a no- nonsense look. As a matter of fact, he had already known that the enemy would probably start an invasion. However, he still transported the provisions for the northeast army, giving the soldiers hope.

Perceiving that, Marin and Deputy Commander Chen felt like their brains were being pickled in brine. Since it had never crossed their minds that once they got provisions, the northeast army would face the invasion of the army of Timber Deity Empire at any time. They just thought that the northeast army could be able to keep on defending with new provisions.

"What should we do now? You know that the situation would be like drawing blood from a turnip if you send the provisions here. Why didn't you halt it? Now you, together with the northeast army, would have to..." Marin said to Rocky angrily. Anger boiled deep in her system, as hot as lava. It churned within hungry for destruction. Marin was still befuddled why Rocky still came here as he had already known the dangerous situation now. He would be wise to withdraw with his soldiers after transporting the provisions, but he didn't leave here till now.

"Anyway, I was one member of the northeast army before. I won't sit down and stare our soldiers lose their life here. In addition, I have promised to Deputy Commander in Chief that I would help the northeast army combat the villain for at least three days.” Rocky answered, composed.

"Rocky, our northeast army only has several thousand soldiers. How could we turn down the army of twenty thousand soldiers of Timber Deity Empire?" Deputy Commander Chen shook his head downheartedly.

"You don't need to be on tenterhooks about it. Since I have delivered the provisions here successfully, I have sufficient conviction to cope with the twenty thousand soldiers of Timber Deity Empire..." The eyes of Rocky were cold, and his extreme courage like the diamond—very brilliant; not changed by fire was shown in his words. It seemed that he set light by the twenty thousand soldiers of Timber Deity Empire. Such good morale Rocky showed was just like that of a great general.

Marin and Deputy Commander Chen looked at each other and were both knocked for six by the great guts Rocky had.

"Deputy Commander Chen, please look for one hundred corpses together with three hundred soldiers in the evening.” Rocky said to Deputy Commander Chen.

"Corpses?" Deputy Commander Chen was shocked and confused.

"Yes. Keep in mind, do not let the enemy be conscious of it.” Rocky answered with his lips quirked upwards in a joyous smile.

"Commander Marin, umm..." Deputy Commander Chen called Marin, and glanced at her. He had no slightest idea what Rocky wanted to do with corpses.

"Just do as he suggested. By the way, tell all the soldiers that I will hand over the command of the northeast army to Rocky..." Glancing at Rocky, Marin said.

"Commander Marin, I'm horror-struck..." Deputy Commander Chen was immensely startled to continue his words. For Marin who lived for the army, the northeast army was her everything. In typical situations, Marin couldn't hand over the authority to someone else unless she trusted the man very much. She profoundly believed Rocky.

Perceiving that Marin had already made her decision, Deputy Commander Chen had to oblige to it. At the left military camp of Timber Deity Empire at the east side, two Commanders looked pale. They had never imagined that Rocky had played a swindle on them, and had the northeast army get provisions successfully.

"Commander Zuo, if you had informed me earlier, how could the Crimson Dragon Army make their malevolent scheme triumphant?” Commander Zhou found fault with Commander Zuo right now. "How could I know that the Crimson Dragon Army was deliberately mystifying?" Commander Zuo nursed a grumble, but he could only control himself and suppress his indignation. He could not show his anger to Commander Zhou, who had a higher rank than him.

"It sounds that we should report to the princess that we would run out of the provisions and supplies soon.” Commander Zhou looked serious. Having gotten enough provisions, the Crimson Dragon Army made their army of twenty thousand soldiers passive completely.

A half day later, the news came to the main military camp of Timber Deity Empire that the northeast army at Rough Slope had gotten provisions.

"The northeast army have gotten provisions? What did Commander Zuo and Commander Zhou do?" Alyssa chided the two Commanders. Because of her resentment, strong air currents with the power of the Divine Stage burst out from her body, mauling the tent. In a blink of an eye, the tent was heavily ruined.

The Commanders of Timber Deity Empire present turned pale and even dared not take a breath. All of them could see that Alyssa was furious, and no one wanted to utter a word.

"How many soldiers were there for transporting the provisions?" Alyssa asked the Commanders, looking at them coldly.

"Three... Three thousand?"

"What? Only three thousand?" Alyssa was a little shocked. Her mouth opened and shut like a goldfish with no sound coming out, and she stood as gormless as a guppy. She couldn't believe that, but asked, "Who commanded the three thousand soldiers?"

"No one has the slightest clue about that!"

"They just used only three thousand soldiers to transport the provisions successfully under the nose of our army of twenty thousand soldiers. How eye-catching the Commander was! I can't fathom there is such an extraordinary man in Crimson Dragon Army," Alyssa said in surprise, the shock registered on her face could not be concealed. She was inquisitive who the Commander was.

"Give my order to Commander Zuo and Commander Zhou that they should start an invasion of Rough Slope as soon as possible.” Since the northeast army at Rough Slope had gotten provisions and supplies, the Alyssa's strategy fell short. Crimson Dragon Army had wholly changed the situation right now. Even though she did not want to give up her original plan, now she had to make a new one. Alyssa required to make the invasion of Rough Slope, which might be of some aid now.
