Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 382 Dilemma

As a deafening roar reverberated in the air, a colossal dragon flew out of the crevice. Its giant body glistened with dazzling thunder light, and its three huge heads were swinging. The four gigantic wings behind its heads even impeded the sunlight. Its body was as large as a mountain. Bolts of thunder kept spurting out of its two tails. The formidable aura around it rattled the spectators to the core.

Those soldiers in the Loyal Dragon Pass almost bounced out of their skin as facing the colossal dragon's appearance. The poor-spirited ones among them could not even help but begin shaking like a leaf.

The spot where the Timber Deity Empire's army encamped was near to the Loyal Dragon Pass, so they also caught a glimpse of the colossal dragon. Their jaws almost fell to the ground as seeing the rude awakening picture.

That giant creature was Lance's spirit-manipulated beast, a six-star Thunder Blustering Dragon. It ranked top ten on the Spiritual Beast List of the Wild Spirit Land, no matter in strength or quality. The Thunder Blustering Dragon was strong as an eagle and out of the ordinary kind of spiritual dragon among the thunder series. What could be on a par with Lance's Thunder Blustering Dragon in the Holy Dragon Empire were only the two spirit-manipulated beasts of Bryant's and Marcia's. Lance self-possessed as the breast of a lake when the loud wind was laid jumped into the air. With a gleam of his spiritual power, he had ridden on the Thunder Blustering Dragon. As it was waving its wings, a sand storm swept over the Loyal Dragon Pass.

In a flickering of an eye, the Thunder Blustering Dragon had brimmed over up into the sky and ebbed away.

It was already night when Lance came back to the Frozen River Pass.

"Father!" As promptly as perceiving Lance made an appearance, Isis came to catch sight of him. "How about the Wild Heaven Pass right now?" Lance inquired.

"We have lost ten thousand of our men. By good luck, Commander Ron already kept at arm's length the enemy ambush and expelled them out of the Wild Heaven Pass!" Isis answered with a somber look.

"It's still too shortly to make conclusions!" Lance declared.

"Father, do you mean we should allocate some reinforcements to the Wild Heaven Pass?” Isis’ brows knitted together.

"No, we can't do that. Ten thousand soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Group have been assigned to the Loyal Dragon Pass from the Frozen River Pass. There are only twenty thousand soldiers in the Frozen River Pass right now. If we sent reinforcements to the Wild Heaven Pass, the Frozen River Pass would be on jeopardy then." Lance face looked sullen and then proceeded, "It's our rival's swindle. Now that the Timber Deity Empire has a substantial upper hand over us in the aspect of army forces, they bring into service that to draw away our army forces. It is a conundrum that the thirty thousand soldiers of Timber Deity Empire besieged the Loyal Dragon Pass. What they undoubtedly have an inclination for is the Wild Heaven Pass. Princess Alyssa is absolutely out of the ordinary!”

"What should we do now, father? We will lose the Wild Heaven Pass if we don't assign any reinforcements to them!" Isis could not help but be in a state of nerves like a cat on a hot tin roof. Once upon losing the Wild Heaven Pass, an entrance to the Holy Dragon Empire would be freed by their rival.

"I have dispatched a message to the headquarters along the way. The Elite Regiment of our spirit manipulators will send over some of their members within no time,” Lance declared.

"The Elite Regiment! Do you genuinely mean it, father?" Isis was hit like a ton of bricks.

Almost everyone in the Crimson Dragon Group was apprehensive that the Elite Regiment was their most incomprehensible squad, which consisted of royal spirit manipulators at or above the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage. The head of the Elite Regiment even reached the Supernal Stage.

There were at most hundreds of Supernal Stage spirit manipulators in the whole Holy Dragon Empire. Most of them came from the dominant clans of the royal family. In the four major military groups of the Holy Dragon Empire, there were also an insignificant number of Supernal Stage spirit manipulators. The Crimson Dragon Group, for example, had three to four Supernal Stage spirit manipulators, and they would come to lock antlers only under the most dangerous circumstance. The Elite Regiment led by a Supernal Stage spirit manipulator, of course, was extraordinarily strong as an ox and back-breaking.

Now that Lance even required the best squad of the Crimson Dragon Group to join the fight, it could also show beyond doubt how precarious their present condition was. Only by such a strong squad's helping hand could the Crimson Dragon Group have the possibility to turn the tables. "Besides, the fifty thousand soldiers, which are the reinforcements I already put into position before, are on the way now. We have to try everything we can to safeguard the three passes. When the Elite Regiment and reinforcements arrive, it is time we fight back! The crux right now is whether we can take up cudgels for the Wild Heaven Pass. The Elite Regiment's members normally have their own task to put the finishing touches to. It will take them at least five days to come here. Our men in the Wild Heaven Pass have to hold their horses for a few more days," Lance said with a serious face. Time was the key to this battle, yet what the Crimson Dragon Army was desperate most for now was also time.

If they lost the Wild Heaven Pass, the aftermath was beyond hope. It would go far more above one's head to fight the Timber Deity Empire if they entered the Holy Dragon Empire's territory through the Wild Heaven Pass. They would in two shakes of a lamb's tail invade the several cities, including Evian City, around the border, and numerous guilt-free citizens would die in the cruel war.

Thus, the Crimson Dragon Army would with no lack of confidence to have a dust-up for their life for the Wild Heaven Pass.

The next day, Lance was presented with the news that the Timber Deity Empire launched intense attacks at the Loyal Dragon Pass, which was entirely out of his control. He didn't have in the prospect that the enemy would fight the Loyal Dragon Pass before they got the Wild Heaven Pass. To add salt into an injury, it was Princess Alyssa who led the Timber Deity Empire's army to bombard the Loyal Dragon Pass.

Although previously their morale almost reached the low watermark level after Lance routed them, the Timber Deity Empire's army in the Loyal Dragon Pass regained their confidence under Alyssa's skillful leadership. With their strong as a lion fighting will, they had almost broken down the twenty thousand soldiers patrolling in the Loyal Dragon Pass.

The third day, the Wild Heaven Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass were both on the edge of being blown their minds. The Crimson Dragon Army had been pushed in a corner.

In the temporary Conference Hall of the Frozen River Pass, Lance wore a solemn expression and furrowed brows deeply. His eyes were painted with a hint of the heebie-jeebies. He became cognizant of what a predicament the Crimson Dragon Army was in right now. Both the Wild Heaven Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass were in deeply demand of reinforcements, but if Lance assigned soldiers of the Frozen River Pass to the two passes, the Frozen River Pass would be on jeopardy in any minute.

But if he didn't do so, the Holy Dragon Empire would lose two crucial passes at the same time. The Timber Deity Empire could easily invade several cities around the Holy Dragon Empire's boundary like a piece of old tackle.

These days, the Crimson Dragon Army had already been dissipated after engaging in several fights. It was a hard nut to crack for them to guard a mere pass. How could they maintain both the Wild Heaven Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass?

"Father!" Isis wended her way in without signaling.

"Is there any piece of information about the Wild Heaven Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass?" Lance's brows knitted together. While he had to blow the lid off that Princess Alyssa was so good that she even pushed him and the Crimson Dragon Army in a corner.

Although Lance had encountered a lot and dominated for many time, he was already at the end of his wits as facing the current monkey wrench in the works. Perturbation had almost worn him out, which was so evident in the increase of his grey hair. Before the reinforcements arrived, the two principal passes were already on the edge of losing. Yet, he didn't have the slightest idea about how to handle with that because of the inadequate army forces. All of these were overpowering him and almost smothered him.

"Nothing new! I'm scared stiff that we would lose the Wild Heaven Pass." Isis shook her head slightly as a hint of twitchiness flashed in her eyes. Meanwhile, a man's figure clicked into her mind. She believed that if he was here now, he might have a way to alleviate their up to the minute crisis. Although she fully understood that getting out of such a quandary was almost close to drawing water from a stone, she still believed that he could come to someone's rescue. Because she already witnessed that he turned the impossibility into possibility last time in the Rough Slope.
