Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 327

"Oh, I need to go to the logistics camp to check in at work and announce my arrival today!" Rocky said, remembering he had promised Isis to be the captain of the transportation squad and military vet. Although, truth be told, he didn't really want to be the captain of the transportation squad. He'd accepted the position as a means to remain in the northeastern military camp. The trade-off would pay dividends later.

After the northeast military camp moved to the frontier, the original area was remodeled into the logistics camp. A multitude of army provisions and weapons were moved from base camp to the logistics camp.

Today was his first day on the job as captain of the transportation squad.

He arranged for his beasts to stay at their positions, guarding his home, and left for the logistics camp.

When Rocky entered the logistics camp, there was an abundance of activity. Soldiers and spirit manipulators came and went, preoccupied with their business. Rocky knew none of them.

But he was not surprised by the number of people or the commotion. Since Isis re-established the logistics camp to shorten supply time during the war with Timber Deity Empire, this was to be expected. The move meant the frontiers could receive army provisions and materials rather quickly. Such things could be the difference between defeat and victory. The variety of uniforms and crests said the soldiers and spirit manipulators in the logistics camp were transferred from other military camps.

Although they were all new faces to Rocky, they still knew about him. The moment he entered the camp, he heard the whispers, and saw the glances his way, the gestures, and pointed fingers. His name preceded him from his performance in the last contest. And he'd also refused the Commander in Chief in public. That in itself drew attention with some regarding him as if trying to figure out exactly what he was about, what kind of a man he might be.

Throw in the news that Rocky had chosen to be a captain of the transportation squad instead of Frontline Commander and the confusion and assessment was more pronounced. Compared with Frontline Commander, the captain of the transportation squad was a grueling and trifling job. No one in their right mind would choose as Rocky had.

But those choices and achievements had turned Rocky into a celebrity in the Crimson Dragon Group. Everyone was talking about him all the time.

"Rocky..." two excited voices called at the same time.

Rocky turned around to see Thor and Joss. The two of them were happy to see Rocky as if they had found some treasures.

"Why are you two here?" Rocky frowned at them.

"We heard you were the new captain of the transportation squad, so we applied to be with you. Commander Marin transferred us here. We heard about your great performance in the contest. And how you were so cool that you turned down the Frontline Commander post." Thor gave a Rocky a nod of approval, admiration twinkling in his eye.

"Really?" Rocky gave them a skeptical glance. He had a feeling something wasn't quite right. "Where is your Camp Director?"

"He is at Commander Marin's tent," Joss responded

Rocky nodded and headed toward Commander Marin's tent.

After Rocky left, Thor whispered to Joss, "Hey, do you think Rocky suspects anything?" Joss shook his head. "I doubt it. Commander Marin certainly wouldn't tell anyone that she has us spying on him for her. Or that she was the one who transferred us here without us asking."

Thor nodded. "I agree. But remember we have to be extra careful. If he finds out, he'll kill us. And there'd be nothing we could do to stop him or even slow him down. He's reached the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage. Killing us is like stepping on an ant."

They looked at each other before casting a terrified look in Rocky's direction.

There was no guard when Rocky reached the Commander's camp, so he entered. Several people were gathered inside the tent having a discussion.

A man, with a too smooth face and innocent eyes that spoke of inexperience, sat in the Commander's old spot. The man was young. Rocky doubted if he was even thirty.
