Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 322

"I'm glad you understand. The Commander in Chief told me that you would be transferred to the Supreme Headquarters when you get promoted to a Frontline Commander. Behave yourself. Don't act like a punk. Your actions will reflect on the reputation of the northeast military camp," Marin said seriously.

"Do I act like a punk? A handsome punk, though, right?!" Rocky said jokingly.

Sue, who stood close by, couldn't help but chuckle so she tightly covered her mouth with her hands.

Marin rolled her eyes at Rocky and hummed as if she was so bored. Then she turned away.

"Sue, please take care of Uriah," Rocky said as he went after Marin.

Rocky soon arrived at the training field of the headquarters with Marin. Thousands of people lined up in the seats as they eagerly awaited the start of the ceremony.

A flag with "Crimson" and a glorious dragon embroidered in the middle was erected on stage. Lance sat in the middle of the stage. The Commanders and the officers of the Crimson Dragon Group stood on both sides of Lance.

The six Deputy Commanders, including Dunn, who were qualified for the second round were also present.

Strangely, Isis was nowhere to be found.

Rocky and Marin's arrival created a ripple effect on the people who were present. Heads turned towards their direction and everyone's eyes watched their every move. Whispered conversations went on as they walked.

Rocky brilliantly turned the battle from a disadvantaged position to finally defeat Dunn whose power was at least a grade higher than his during the last round of the competition yesterday. People still talked about his victory a day after and likely even in the days to come. They admired him for his unflinching courage and unswerving determination. But only Rocky and Dunn knew the entire truth. It appeared that Dunn hadn't told anyone that Rocky actually reached the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage. If he told anyone, it would create a stir in the headquarters.

Some of the Frontline Commanders were hostile towards Rocky; most notably Flank. He was badly beaten in the Army Flag Contest by Rocky and was disgraced ever since. Beyond everyone's expectations, at the competition between the different military camps, Rocky showed his remarkable skill on all aspects and won the ultimate victory.

Rocky went from rags to riches. He was a breeder who jumped to an equal footing with the Frontline Commanders. This made some of the narrow-minded Frontline Commanders angry and jealous.

"Commander in Chief..." Rocky and Marin saluted Lance after they walked through the crowd.

"Since everyone is here, I will now announce the people who will be promoted to Frontline Commanders. Rocky, the winner of the final round, will be promoted to Frontline Commander and transferred to the headquarters. Due to his outstanding performance, Dunn, the Deputy Commander of the east-southeast military camp, will also be promoted to Frontline Commander. As for the other Deputy Commanders, although you finished the competition to the best of your ability, you still need to make up for your deficiencies!" Lance said bluntly.

"Commander in Chief, thank you very much for your appreciation! I will dedicate all my strength to the Crimson Dragon Group. I won't hesitate to go through fire and water for the Crimson Dragon Group!" Dunn said in excitement at his promotion. He then saluted Lance to show his respect. His disappointment for being kept as a Deputy Commander all these years vanished in a flash.

The Commanders who once had been in conflict with Dunn looked as if they swallowed a bitter pill.

"Hey..." Marin nudged Rocky with her elbow to remind him to say something to thank the Commander in Chief since Rocky seemed to have no intention to say anything at all.

After taking a look at Marin, Rocky saluted Lance and said, "Commander in Chief, I really appreciate your recognition, but I never planned to be promoted to Frontline Commander. I hope that you will allow me to go back to continue my job as the breeder of the northeast military camp."

Astonished at Rocky's words, the crowd burst in an uproar instantly.
