Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 235

The soldiers from the White Army were having a fierce battle with one squad of the Black Army, which was led by Commander Cao. In the heat of that hour, Rocky led his squad and arrived at the back end of the White Army's troop. It was a strike back situation. The very next moment Rocky and his men launched a surprise attack against their opponents.

The White Army was dazed by this sudden attack. They weren't expecting to be sandwiched and attacked by two squads of the Black Army at the same time. They were in a fix. Acknowledging the unfavorable conditions, the White Army's commander immediately ordered his troop to withdraw to a terrain that seemed more favorable for their safety. They then stayed in that area and defended themselves from the attacks of their opponents in a tactful way, hoping desperately that the other squads would come to their rescue.

Unfortunately, the soldiers from the three troops of the White Army were busy chasing feints of the Black Army that Rocky had arranged in advance to lure and distract them from the real fight. They seemed to have been badly tricked.

However, it wasn't long before they realized that they got fooled. They immediately rushed back to support the lone squad which was sandwiched and attacked.

But still, it was too late. The lone squad had already surrendered and given up their flag. So, at the moment, the Black Army was on the lead, one step closer to the final victory with 7 flags and two squads left.

Who could ever imagine that Rocky, a breeder at the beast farm, who had been ridiculed by the Frontline Commanders earlier was now actually the one who had the most flags?

"Excuse me, but may I know your name?" Commander Cao who was always extremely arrogant asked Rocky modestly. As an experienced Frontline Commander, he knew that it wasn't easy to achieve so many flags. It was not accomplished by accident or fluke. If Rocky was not capable, he wouldn't have managed to attain such success.

"Rocky Bai," Rocky responded calmly.

"So, you are Rocky. May I know what role you hold in the northeast military camp? When you say that you are a breeder, you must be joking, right?" Commander Cao carefully inquired. It was difficult for him or any other commoner to believe that a mere breeder could have such outstanding commanding abilities and that he could apply military strategy and tactics so flexibly and cleverly.

"Now, do I have to lie to you?" Rocky put up a straight face and asked when he realized that Commander Cao couldn't believe his identity.

"But Rocky, your way of commanding the troops is no less than the way real commanders do it, including myself. This is definitely not something a breeder can do!" Commander Cao raised his queries, also subtly praising Rocky's great ability at the same time.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Rocky said. "But the most important thing now is to keep these seven flags we have gained to ourselves." He racked his brain as he stroked his chin. Even though they now had an edge over the other White Army, there was still some time before the 'Army Flag Contest' ended. And right now, the three squads of the White Army must have realized their trick and shall be on their way back to take revenge.

"The White Army only has three squads left. If we launch another surprise attack against even one of them, there is a great chance for us to win this contest," Commander Cao said. They had worked together and defeated one of the squads from the White Army. Commander Cao was rather relieved as he finally won, after being chased by the opponents for so long. Thus, he wanted to use the same tactics to get to their final victory.

"But I'm afraid the same tactics won't work again. In order to hold the other three squads back, I have already sacrificed fifty soldiers as bait. By now the three squads must have figured out our deception, so they will join forces to take revenge," Rocky said, while shaking his head in disappointment.

"Sacrificed fifty soldiers?" Commander Cao gasped in disbelief.

Rocky then told Commander Cao about his plan to lure the three squads of the White Army into a trap. Hearing how he used only a small squad with fifty people to hold back the three squads, Commander Cao was awestruck and simply stared at Rocky in amazement. He couldn't help but think that this man in front of him was even more skillful in military strategies than he had expected. He had to admit that even he couldn't have pulled up such a good plan, and that his commanding skills were far behind Rocky's.

"But if they join hands, their strength will become superior to ours. My squad has lost more than half of the soldiers while your squad has less than 400. Even if we chose to defend the area we are stationing, we might not be able to resist their fierce attack completely." Commander Cao immediately put forth his concern after he realized that now their only way out was to defend, instead of attacking.

"As long as we can defend our area, we will win. But if we can't, we'll definitely lose. Victory will be decided by the coming final battle!" Rocky firmly expressed.

"I think, if we defend against their attack with all our forces, maybe there is still a chance for us to win. I am not trying to boast here, but my defensive skills are second to none among all the Frontline Commanders. No one dares to argue on that," Commander Cao said proudly as he patted his chest. Actually, he was thinking that since Rocky had shown his outstanding commanding skills, if he did not come up with something, then he would really be inferior to a breeder, which would be regarded as a joke in the future. Arrogant as he was, he just couldn't afford to lose face like that.

"But if we concentrate all our forces on defense, it will only lead us to a dead end," Rocky objected without hesitation.

"No way! I will not allow that to happen!" Commander Cao retorted back in response and had a feeling of embarrassment encompassing him. He had always been confident about himself. But today, he seemed to have suffered too much humiliation.
