Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 226

"The Army Flag Contest is held every month at the base camp. Every Frontline Commander of our Crimson Dragon Group must enter. But I just received a message reporting a problem on the front line, and you know I have to go there at once. I can't possibly take part in the Army Flag Contest again. Someone else should participate on behalf of the northeast military camp," Marin explained promptly.

"Why won't you just send out the two Deputy Commanders? They can enter the contest instead," Rocky retorted and rolled his eyes. Just as he had expected, Marin wanted him to join the Army Flag Contest for political purposes. But Rocky was busy building his laboratory, and he wasn't willing to waste his time on the contest.

"Both Deputy Commanders have important tasks at hand. Anyway, all you have to do is make a public appearance. Your sole mission is to make the number of participants grow. And when the Army Flag Contest begins, you just have to follow the other Frontline Commanders and do what they do. It doesn't really matter if you lose the contest. I've already won ten times in a row for the northeast military camp. So it doesn't matter if we lose the Army Flag Contest this time," Marin proudly explained.

"Can I decline?" Rocky asked, folding his arms across his chest. He did not want to take part in the Army Flag Contest. At the thought of meeting Isis at the base camp, Rocky's stomach filled with butterflies, and his chest pounded. He did not want to mess with Isis again. He had sworn it from the depths of his heart. After all, he was fully aware that Isis was a defiant woman.

"This is an order! Unless you want to be transferred to the kitchen and do chores, I suggest you follow," Marin threatened as she stared Rocky down. She was determined to get what she wanted, and she would get it no matter what.

'What a ruthless woman!' Rocky thought to himself. 'But she is a Commander and I am only a breeder. I have no choice but to follow her command.' His face contorted, and his heart filled with anger, and dismay. He was helpless against Marin's authority.

"You haven't seen Sue in a long time, correct? You can take this chance to visit her." And with that, Marin tossed Rocky her token.

"I am grateful for your kindness," Rocky said in a monotone voice. His lips curled as he caught the token, but his hands clenched into fists. It was as if he and Marin were enemies in their previous lives. Why else would this formidable woman make so much trouble for him?

"Give my regards to my cousin when you meet her. And please, keep your attitude in check. I won't blame you, but I would advise you to mind your manners when you meet the Commander in Chief. Otherwise, if ever you were caught in some terrible act, it would be beyond my capability to help you," Marin warned.

Rocky didn't answer. He turned and walked away, leaving Marin irritated.

Rocky returned to the Ghost Village. As he prepared to leave for Evian City, he remembered his promise to Sue. He was to bring Rubygon to her the next time he would come to the base camp.

Rubygon squirmed and struggled to jump out of Rocky's arms as he carried it to the carriage. Uriah patted its head, asking it to be obedient. Compared to Uriah, Rubygon was still rough and untrained. The cub was very hesitant to leave.

'It looks like Rubygon needs to be tamed, ' Rocky thought to himself. The reluctance was written all over Rubygon's face as it tried to wriggle its way out of Rocky's grasp. Rocky just smiled wryly and shook his head. Rubygon was still young, but it was high time he was trained. Rocky made a mental note to himself that he would train Rubygon in his spare time. He hoped that one day Rubygon would turn out to be another one of his high-grade spirit-manipulated beasts.

But of course, the journey to reach that goal was no small feat. Rocky already had Uriah, and it meant that he could no longer use the same spiritual power to control Rubygon. He had to find new and equally stimulating approaches to tame the young beast.

Despite this initial plan, Rocky was still uncertain whether he could successfully tame Rubygon. The young beast was very energetic, and it would be hard to keep that energy in check.

Seated in the horse-drawn carriage, Rocky rode out of Ghost Village and headed for Evian City at a full gallop. The carriage jolted at the speed, but Rocky kept the pace. About two hours later, they arrived at the base camp of the Crimson Dragon Group. The carriage stopped near the entrance of the base. After securing the reigns to a nearby tree, Rocky dismounted Rubygon from the carriage. With the token Marin had given him resting in his hand, Rocky walked into the base. The site of the Crimson Dragon Army greeted them.

"Now, where can I find the venue for the Army Flag Contest? Marin didn't give me clear instructions," Rocky mumbled to himself as he walked through the gates. He realized that Marin hadn't given him enough information on how to enter the Army Flag Contest, and he was confused as to where he would go to register. But he did not let it faze him. He decided to visit Sue first. Rocky strode towards the Isis Pavilion with Rubygon in tow.

When they arrived at the Isis Pavilion, the naughty Rubygon seemed to have smelled something unusual. Its nose twitched as it sniffed the air, and suddenly ran into the Isis Pavilion.
