Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 314

The third round was to be held at the area where the Army Flag Contest was held. And each side led a team with matching strengths of thirty spirit manipulators each.

The two teams were divided into an attacker and a defender. The rules of the final round were simple. If the attackers managed to capture the flag from the defenders, their commander would be considered victorious. Similarly, if the defenders were able to defend their flag from the attackers within a given time then the commander of the defenders would be declared the winner.

Spirit manipulators were limited in number so the side who had the least number of casualties would receive advantage. The competition allowed the leader to join. Thus, it could be a battle between the teams or a duel between their commanders.

One of the leaders was Dunn from the east-southeast military camp. His leadership skills were comparable to that of a Frontline Commander and he had established brilliant achievements in war. From that aspect, he was not too far from a Frontline Commander of the Crimson Dragon Group. And Dunn was seasoned in actual combat and very decisive. He was known as one of the deadliest in the battlefield.

Compared to Dunn, Rocky was inferior from a military experience perspective. Even though he was praised by Lance and showed excellent skill in the tactical deployment of troops during the Army Flag Contest, he had never led any actual army himself. What made matters worse was the fact that he had only 30 people in his team. This required more precise tactics and more war experience in order to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of war and to minimize the losses for the team.

Rocky was unlikely to win and many could tell this easily by the mere comparison of battle experiences between the two combatants.

People thought that the wise move for Rocky was to pick the defender side. Once he picked the defender side, he only needed to choose a highly defensible location. Once he picked the ideal defensible position, he could also minimize the casualties that he could incur from the battle and minimized losses had advantages.

Lance, the other Commanders and officers arrived at the platform and waited for the start of the competition. Isis and Marin were there too.

Dunn arrived early and stood with full confidence. He seemed more than prepared for the final round.

"Where is Rocky? This is unbelievable!" Isis was annoyed by Rocky's delay, especially since everyone but him was already there.

"Maybe Sheridan took him to the brothels?" Marin said.

"Brothels?" Isis stared at her in disbelief.

"Yes. He was there yesterday," Marin replied nodding.

"How could he do that? What was Sheridan thinking? He knew Rocky had to compete today," Isis complained.

Even the Commanders and officers started to wonder why Rocky had not arrived yet. Whispering started among them.

It was the time to start the competition but Rocky had not arrived yet. The people started to become uneasy with the waiting.

"Is he scared? What is taking him so long to come over?" Dunn said in an arrogant tone.

"Hey Dunn, wouldn't it be better if he doesn't arrive at all? You can win without a fight!" Isis said and then stared at Dunn.

"That would not be fun! But it would be clever of him if he decides not to come. Because the competition will not end well for him if he appears!" Dunn was a crazy guy and he offended many people in the Crimson Dragon Group. And that was one of the main reasons why he remained a Deputy Commander despite his talent.
