Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 388 Beyond Expectation

"Perceive what? Hi, bastard, you'd better get to the point right away and not beat about the bush in front of me. I will make you feel remorseful about it one day unless you give me a legitimate explanation now! I would have meted out retribution to you last time if Isis didn't put in the appropriate word for you. In such an instance, you would not be in a position to be here conversing with me." Lance raped over the knuckles in a thundering voice, his thick brows raising. It implied that he was indeed indignant with all guns blazing with Rocky. The young man’s way of doing things had rubbed up the improper way. In his assessment, being talented was something desirable, but it was utterly incorrect to act in the devil may care way based on such talent.

After apprehending Lance's words and getting a glimpse of his expressions, Rocky didn't demonstrate any hint of the heebie-jeebies at all. Instead, he looked as calm as the smoothest waters as usual. He just took a few steps towards Lance and mumbled something by his ear.

Lance seemed somewhat taken by surprise to find out what Rocky said to him. He could not help but blurt out, "How could that be?"

"Nothing isn't worth considering! I'm scared stiff this is specifically the primary reason for the passive situation the Crimson Dragon Army is involved in at present,” Rocky suggested. His eyes were shimmering

"Do you have any proof?" Lance declined to be persuaded by him easily.

"When Wild Heaven Pass was ambushed at night, the gate was freed by a concealed traitor. Since the Timber Deity Empire could organize their man among the troops at Wild Heaven Pass as our hidden traitor, why couldn't they settle on somebody else among the Crimson Dragon Group?" Rocky asked back in a frosty voice after giving Lance a disparaging smile.

Lance was struck dumb by Rocky's questions for a while. He had to acknowledge what Rocky said made sense. The Timber Deity Empire would not have prepared their man at Wild Heaven Pass in advance if they didn't know precisely what the Crimson Dragon Army would do. Since the Timber Deity Empire had known clearly what the Crimson Dragon Army would do, the mere tendency was that the information was spilled the beans by some member of the Crimson Dragon Army.

"Besides, even if the main force of the Crimson Dragon Army was alone without any external support, they had thirty thousand members. Thirty thousand is by no means a minor number, but the Timber Deity Empire demolished them in a concise period of time. In the reasonable understanding, if they couldn't thrash the troops of the Timber Deity Empire, they still could withdraw. But as far as I recognize, the Timber Deity Empire gave the concept of knowing the thirty thousand troops clearly like the palm of their hand, so that the troops of the Crimson Dragon Army had nowhere to make their getaway. What was more, the Deputy Commander in Chief dispatched troops to assist them at that time, but the assistance troops were blocked and intercepted by the enemy just in time. How could that happen if there was no concealed traitor to blow the gaff the information to the enemy?" Rocky added in a split of seconds. Recently, Louis had conveyed intelligence to him during his absence. According to such knowledge, Rocky caught sight that the Timber Deity Empire suggested to constantly respond to the Crimson Dragon Army's strategies in an out of the typical rapid manner. However, even if the Commander in Chief of the Timber Deity Empire was able to envisage with divine certainty, she could not have foreseen every detail of the Crimson Dragon Army's operation. The sole possibility would be that the Timber Deity Empire was conscious of every detail about the Crimson Dragon Army not by foreseeing but from somebody among the Crimson Dragon Army. In this way, they could be apprehensive of what the Crimson Dragon Army would do in the following before the latter actually took action, so that they could figure out countermeasures in advance.

Indeed, the Commander in Chief of the Timber Deity Empire was really tactful by successfully arranging their man in the Crimson Dragon Group without being gotten a glimpse of them by anybody.

And the disguised traitor who had been prepared by the Timber Deity Empire in the Crimson Dragon Group must have been extremely good at sailing under false colors since there was still not any piece of evidence about his identity.

Lance fell mute and began meditating as soon as Rocky finished talking. He perceived that if what Rocky said was right, it would be dreadful news for the Crimson Dragon Army. Silence gnawed at his insides. The silence was like a gaping void, needing to be filled with sounds, words, anything. "That's all what I demand to say. Commander in Chief, please agree to receive my words as a gift. But if you want me to lend a hand for free, I will give the thumbs down to it without any equivocation. I require something in return. This is my bottom line, and I will never strike a balance!" Rocky said in a conclusive tone. He was free from doubt that Lance would give in.

After giving Rocky a frosty stare, Lance turned over his hand and took out a middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg and a yellow spiritual crystal. He stretched his hand, in which the two treasures were placed in front of Rocky.

"I think they're not a tolerable amount.” Rocky made a fuss and shook his head in a chip on his shoulder though he took over the middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg and the yellow spiritual crystal from Lance's hand.

"If you can certainly come to my aid, I will offer you a high-grade Dark Heaven Egg when everything is completed. Will that be okay?" Lance said, gritting his teeth. In the Crimson Dragon Group, only positions above Elite Commander were qualified to get Dark Heaven Eggs, and they could only get one middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg every three months. And they could acquire one yellow spiritual crystal every six months. However, it seemed that they could not put Rocky's mind at rest.

"A high-grade Dark Heaven Egg? I think that will be sufficient,” Rocky added. His eyes lit up since he had never set his eyes on a high-grade Dark Heaven Egg. He hadn't had in the prospect that Lance was in the spirit to pay him such a big price.

"Anyway, if you can't come to my rescue, in the end, I won't let you take off! I will teach you a lesson no matter who will intervene with me for you!" Lance declared in a twinkle of an eye in a distinguished tone. He would never allow Rocky to pull a fast one on him.

"Commander in Chief, just hold your horses and see please,” Rocky suggested. Raising his brows, he turned around, having the intention to go.

"Where're you going?" Lance asked confusedly when he recognized that Rocky was leaving. He wore a perplexed expression.

"Of course I'm going to be of service to defend Wild Heaven Pass," Rocky answered as if nothing was awry with his behavior.

"It's already impossible like drawing water from stone to defend Wild Heaven Pass successfully. If you are to lend a hand, you should help protect Loyal Dragon Pass. We can take Wild Heaven Pass back from the Timber Deity Empire when the reinforcement troops show up," Lance said, furrowing brows slightly.

"Loyal Dragon Pass is besieged by the Commander in Chief of the Timber Deity Empire in person, isn't it? I will never court death on my own accord! Just set your heart at rest and have assurance in me! We won't lose Wild Heaven Pass. But I will give you a piece of advice. You don't need to defend Frozen River Pass here any longer. It's nothing but a mere decorative pass,” Rocky said in a somewhat confident tone.

"A decorative pass? You imply..." Lance asked, confusion apparent on his face. His mind was a surging perplexity

"Commander in Chief, I understand the reason why you come down in favor to defend Frozen River Pass by yourself is that it is directly connected to Evian City, right?" Rocky asked as a smirk crept up at the corners of his mouth. He grinned like the cat who got the cream

"Yeah. Is there anything wrong?” Lance inquired.

"Yes, and it's something of concern. Sir, are you aware why the Timber Deity Empire chooses to attack Wild Heaven Pass and Loyal Dragon Pass instead of attacking Frozen River Pass with all their strength?" Rocky asked back instead of granting him a straightforward answer.

"Because the Timber Deity Empire is knowledgeable that we Crimson Dragon Army must choose to defend Frozen River Pass with all our strength,” Lance answered after pondering for a while.

"That's it! Since the Timber Deity Empire is thoroughly briefed about the bizarre nature of Frozen River Pass, they would never exhaust their forces by attacking Frozen River Pass. They didn't do that before, and they're even less likely to do that now. That's because they no longer have adequate forces to attack Frozen River Pass. Besides, even if they can take Frozen River Pass from you, they don't have enough troops to defend it. All in all, in fact, Frozen River Pass is nothing but a fancy pass. Since the troops of the Timber Deity Empire would not attack Frozen River Pass, there's no distinction between securing it by ten thousand people and by one hundred people. Commander in Chief, do you recognize what I mean?" Rocky said, a purposeful beam on his face. Then he turned around and walked outward.

"I see." As an astute man, Lance was in a flash brought up to speed by Rocky's words. With dumb strike expression on his face, staring at Rocky's back, he talked under one's breath to himself, “This bastard is undeniably intelligent!"

As rapidly as Rocky stepped out, he saw the Commanders were cooling their heels outside. Standing in a circle, they were talking and discussing. It suggested that they were waiting with bated breath to witness Rocky being punished by Lance.

So all of them were caught on the hop to see Rocky walk out in this way. Sound and safe, he popped up in front of them with a huge smirk on his face like a Cheshire cat. What was more, he was playing with a crystal Dark Heaven Egg and a yellow spiritual crystal.

"That... that is a middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg, right?"

"And the other one is a yellow... yellow spiritual crystal, right?"

all of the Commanders were in a howl of protest.
