Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 371 An Unexposed Talent
The commanders present were caught on a hop by what they had gotten wind of. Yet, they thought it was the two Commanders’ fault that the twenty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire were pulled a fast one by their rival. Considering the two's qualifications, they shouldn't have fallen into such a trap. How could they be that unguarded?
Those commanders didn't engage in the fight against Rocky, after all, so they had no single clue about how panic striking he was.
"Commander Zhou, do you perceive who worked out all these schemes? I know it's like drawing blood from a turnip for it to be Commander Marin. She is good, but still green. The one who can figure out those schemes is very calculating and so excellent at analyzing situation and enemy's feebleness. The only people I can think of who conforms to all the characters in the Crimson Dragon Group is Lance Liu, their Commander in Chief. But according to the intelligence, Lance had already headed for the Imperial City before we blockaded the Rough Slope. It's not him. Then who is this person? Is there anybody else in the Crimson Dragon Group who can be that good as gold and talented? Except for Isis Liu, their present leader," Alyssa guessed with bewilderment. She was in a need-to-know situation. It's like her brain cells had been randomized. This person's appearance was utterly out of her expectation. To her intelligence, there was no such talent in the Crimson Dragon Group, excluding Lance and Isis. After some brown studying, she concluded that the person was eminently possible to be Isis, her most prominent opponent while she was filled with aplomb that she could deal with Isis.
Commander Zhou took a trip down memory lane the man who took Commander Zuo's head invading their army after a while. Yet everything was in pandemonium and so noisy as a flock of crow-blackbirds in the migration season then, so he didn't hear clear when Marin called Rocky's name. He felt sorry for that.
"Is that so?" Alyssa's face looked sullen slightly.
"Yes! And that man looked very young.” Commander Zhou nodded
"None of their members, whose positions are in or above Commander in the Crimson Dragon Group, are at the early twenties. Even among their Deputy Commanders, there is nobody at such age." Alyssa was trying to figure out who could be the man. She had a gift for learning by rote. And she already got some information and intelligence about those, whose positions were in or above Deputy Commander in the Crimson Dragon Group.
"Is it that he is not a Commander?" The commanders of the Timber Deity Empire also began making a wild guess after hearing Alyssa.
"Is there an unexposed talent in the Crimson Dragon Group? I have discovered that Sheridan, the most potent beast tamer in the Holy Dragon Empire, had a student recently. I was temporarily incapacitated when I got that information. It's so hard to swallow that Sheridan would be willing to have a student. And it's not great news for our Timber Deity Empire,” Alyssa said nonchalantly. Those commanders were all taken aback by her. Their faces were washed blank with confusion like their brain cogs couldn't turn fast enough to take in the information from her wide eyes. Every muscle of their bodies just froze. They looked at each other with astonishment and confusion. The more they mulled it over, the more their brains became a spinning top, finding more questions than answers. Sheridan, the strongest beast tamer in the Holy Dragon Empire, was also well known to them. And his student must be an outstanding person.
Suddenly, Alyssa had a disparaging smile and added, "Nobody knows who Sheridan's student is. This guy fought alone and defeated the other side in the Army Flag Contest. The participants of that contest are almost in the position of Frontline Commander in the Crimson Dragon Group. What's more, he was the champion in that contest. I also heard that Lance wanted to promote that guy to Commander, but he turned down Lance directly. I can even imagine how awkward Lance was then!" Her lips curved upwards slightly as finding this thing interesting.
Alyssa could even know such details of Rocky's performance in that Army Flag Contest, which proved she had a great source of the intelligence about the Crimson Dragon Group.
The commanders present were filled with awe further. They stood as gormless as guppy it was as if a firecracker had gone off. They found it hard to believe that someone would ever refuse such an offer in the face of Lance. He was the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group, one of the four army groups in the Holy Dragon Empire. This guy must be a lunatic or chowder head.
"Both the mysterious man in the Rough Slope and Sheridan's student are young geniuses. If the two talents could be our men, our Timber Deity Empire would achieve two more great helpers then. Well, it's significant to find out their identities and detailed information.” Alyssa's indifferent eyes wore a hint of calculating expression.
However, what Alyssa didn't recognize was that the two men she wanted to recruit were actually the same person.
"The only one who can be a match for me is Isis. Yet, she is still green and naive now. Maybe she will grow stronger a few years afterward," Alyssa said airily. Vivid confidence flashed in her eyes
On the other hand, Rocky was riding over to the logistics camp at high speed like meteors through the sky after leaving the main camp. While his remarkable accomplishment had spread around the whole logistics camp like wildfire that he helped the northeast army succeed in defending the Rough Slope and beating the twenty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire.
Thus, once upon Rocky's arrival, plenty of soldiers and spirit manipulators had surrounded him before he dismounted from the horse. The two in front of the crowd were Thor and Joss.
"Rocky! You are so ingenious like chrysophrase glowing! Why didn't you take us with you before? We want to join in the task and become a hero like you,” Thor complained. Yet, he was smirking like a Cheshire cat from ear to ear. Happiness flowed through him, warming his skin like the rays of the early summer sun. His customary cautious grin exploded into a radiant smile.
"Yeah! Of course, we know we can't be a hero like you, but we are so desired to witness that grand scene. That must be so great to follow you and see your excellent performance in a challenge.” Joss sucked up to Rocky in a dash.
As for the rest of the crowd, they all wore fawning expressions, because they wanted to be allies with Rocky or even his subordinates. Now that Rocky made such a tremendous achievement, they believed that there must be a bright future behind them as long as they followed him.
Rocky frowned a little as seeing more and more people came around him. Before the crowd tightly encircled him, he strode through them and walked into Louis’ tent. The purpose he came back to the logistics camp was to notice Louis before he began his next plan.
While Louis was sitting with the Deputy Camp Director and two captains as if debating something. "Captain Rocky!" Louis’ eyes lit up as soon as he saw Rocky's coming. The delight was unmistakable on his face as he stood up and greeted Rocky. He was thrilled as a shark in a shoal of sea bream Rocky saved the northeast army out of harm's way and helped them guard the Rough Slope, so Louis believed that his logistics camp would likewise get praised from above. Louis was a newly appointed Camp Director. After he took office, Rocky had made impressive achievements twice in one month. Now Louis had considered Rocky as his lucky star. And he also understood why the Deputy Commander in Chief attached that importance to Rocky.
The Deputy Camp Director and the two captains, however, turned grim-faced. They already had a problem with Rocky when he won the logistics camp the second-class merit because of a map and a new transportation way he discovered. And this time, Rocky even finished an insurmountable task which secured him a greater honor. Intense jealousy was burning inside their chests.
"Captain Rocky! It's so good to see you come back! We are discussing the issue that our food transportation often gets intercepted by our enemy," Louis said to Rocky reverently when he led him to a seat, as if Rocky was the Camp Director.
