Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 633 Eating Together
"That's all for this meeting. Everybody, get back to work!" Rocky said with a smile while looking at the commanders in front of him who looked uglier than butchers.
The commanders shook their heads, sighed, and bowed back.
"During dinner, I hope that there will be no commander that will leave with some lame excuse. Even though I am laid back, I don't like anyone to take my words lightly,” Rocky added before the commanders left his tent.
After hearing what Rocky said, the commanders trembled with fear and left quickly.
"These commanders have been used to an easy life. But now it's time for them to show their compassion for the soldiers. I will never think that they respect me. I know that they talk a lot about me behind my back. But it doesn't matter, I will make these commanders obedient and they will follow me. But compared to these commanders, the most important thing was for the Crimson Dragon Army to be united,” Rocky murmured with his eyes narrowed after the commanders left. For most of his time in the Crimson Dragon Group, Rocky stayed at the bottom. First he stayed in the northwest military camp, then he transferred to the logistics camp. With his experience, he knew that bullying was prevalent in the army, and it was always the weaklings who were bullied. This led to the disturbance of the army and their decreased combat effectiveness, especially in the face of danger where the army was shattered into pieces and they could not unite together. Rocky had helped the Crimson Dragon Army a lot of times and he knew what was happening inside the army. The biggest weakness of the Crimson Dragon Army was actually the arrogant commanders. In Rocky's eyes, it was obvious in the war of Evian City that there were few commanders, the Elite Commander included, who dared to take the lead. Most of the commanders did not dare to step forward and shoulder responsibilities because they were too afraid of Lance.
So Rocky changed to correct the Crimson Dragon Army's ways. At first, he knew he needed to get solid foundation and support from the soldiers who were always at the front line. If he could get the support of these soldiers, then he would have the strength of the Crimson Dragon Army. As for the dissatisfaction of the commanders in him, Rocky knew that they could not defeat him, not when they lost the support of the soldiers.
Of course, this was just a bad plan. As a matter of fact, what Rocky wanted was to see the whole Crimson Dragon Army united. However, this was not easy to achieve. The truth was dogs could never change their preference for bones. And just like those dogs, these commanders could never change their ways. They were accustomed to blaming each other and receiving instant success and benefits.
Actually, Rocky didn't plan to rely on those commanders, but he still needed their help to get unexpected results.
As the saying goes, "Those who have the hearts of the people will have the world.” Rocky believed in the same ideology. Of course, he did not have enough of people's hearts to have the world, but soon he would take control of the Crimson Dragon Army.
The fire in the main camp reflected the sky as the night fell.
Besides the five thousand soldiers in the main camp, the rest of the soldiers were stationed in other camps which were less than a mile away from each other. Looking from above, they seemed to be surrounded by several forces which was very magnificent.
At this moment, the thousands of soldiers in the main camp were gathered in groups of three to five. They ate porridge and steamed bun while they chatted.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Commander in Chief is here!”
In an instant, the whole camp fell into silence. All the soldiers stopped and looked towards the direction of the sound.
The group of soldiers near the entrance of the camp dispersed quickly and stepped aside to make a wide path. As the soldiers created a path, a figure slowly walked over.
"Commander in Chief!" Time seemed to slow down and it sounded like the shout was as loud as the waves. The area where Rocky walked by was crowded with people.
Strange looks appeared on all the soldiers’ faces. They didn't know the reason why Rocky was in their camp. The dirty and smelly camp where those commanders didn't like to come was greeted by the Commander in Chief, Rocky, which flattered the soldiers and made them feel included.
After he passed through the crowd, Rocky made his way to the cook who was in charge of allotting the vegetable porridge and buns.
"I want two buns and a bowl of porridge," Rocky said to the cook.
"Commander... Commander in Chief... Why do you want buns and vegetable porridge?" the cook said while he trembled as he saw Rocky.
"I'm asking because I want to eat them. Never mind, I'll do it myself.” Rocky took a bowl of vegetable porridge and two buns and didn't say anything. Then he sat down at the table and began to eat.
This immediately impressed the soldiers. They never thought that the Commander in Chief would join them in eating vegetable porridge and buns.
Just as Rocky ate the vegetable porridge and buns, the commanders he invited entered the camp. They were also shocked when they saw what Rocky did. They thought that Rocky just said that he would do it but would never swallow his pride and eat porridge and buns like a soldier. And he invited them to the camp, just to use them to show off his noble sentiment. To their surprise, as soon as they came in, they saw how Rocky ate with delight in front of the soldiers. They all sweated upon seeing that and they all felt an ominous foreboding.
"Thank you for coming. Let's eat together!" Rocky waved at the commanders when he saw them came. He immediately said to the cook, "Get vegetable porridge for them."
The cook froze for a second, but then he hurriedly got a few bowls of vegetable porridge and brought them along with the buns to the commanders.
The commanders looked at the vegetable porridge and the stale yellow steamed buns in their hands. Their expressions were painted with disgust and it's as if it was worse than crying.
"What are you doing? Eat your food," urged Rocky, as he fixed his eyes on the commanders.
All the commanders looked at each other. They looked like they wanted to cry, but there were no tears from their eyes. They had no choice but to bite and cooperate with the army under the supervision of Rocky.
And in the moment, the whole army was in an uproar.
"Don't stand still, eat quickly or the porridge will be cold,” Rocky said to the many eyes that stared at him, then bit his bun.
"From now on, before we send out our troops, every commander including myself will go to various camps. We will have dinner with the Crimson Dragon Army's soldiers in turns, and enjoy the same food with you like equals. When we defeat the Timber Deity Empire, I'll then invite all the soldiers to have a good meal,” Rocky announced loudly.
Every soldier in the camp was shocked by Rocky's words. They had an incredible expression on their faces, and soon, they realized the oddness of the Commander in Chief. They raised their voice, for the majestic moment!
