Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 328

Before Louis was transferred to the logistics camp, the Deputy Commander in Chief met with him. Their conversation had, of course, touched upon Rocky's presence. It was not technically an official briefing but an informal directive from one leader to another. The Deputy Commander in Chief wanted to make sure that she would not be entirely clueless about Rocky's...uniqueness. In this way, he knew and expected that Rocky was a little peculiar compared to his fellow soldiers. During their little chat, he found out that Rocky's talents were highly praised by the Commander in Chief and the Deputy Commander in Chief. He also heard about Rocky's remarkable performance at the Army Flag Contest and when he competed among the six military camps of the Crimson Dragon Group. This little tidbit came not just from the Deputy Commander in Chief but from every person who witnessed the events. Everyone unanimously agreed that Rocky did excellently in the contests.

He thought that all these knowledge would ready him for the force of nature that Rocky was. He was wrong.

He ended up slack jawed as he stared at Rocky. He observed how astute Rocky was. Rocky cleverly pointed out the flaws and mistakes on the route map. No wonder that the Deputy Commander in Chief wanted him specifically in charge of Rocky's care.

"Camp Director, were our army provisions and materials frequently intercepted when we were at war with the Timber Deity Empire last time?" Rocky asked with his arms across his chest, deep in thought.

Louis nodded. His mouth opened to say something but thought quickly of it and opted to say nothing at all.

"How many times have they been intercepted?" Rocky prompted. He had an idea of what the problem was but he needed more information before he could accurately conclude.

"The war lasted for three months. During that period, we have been intercepted about ten times," Louis replied after some thought.

"So, we were intercepted three to four times a month on average. This indicates that the frontier suffered a loss of at least three times less the intended amount of army provisions and materials. Am I right?" Rocky analyzed brusquely without sugar-coated words.

Louis winced but nodded. "Ten times is the normal situation," Louis explained as he tried to save face.

"It is impossible to avoid the army provisions and materials being looted by the enemy. This is basic strategy and they are not fools!" Rocky raised an eyebrow at the Deputy Camp Director's aggressive defense.

"If I am the Camp Director, I will not allow anyone to loot our army provisions and materials," Rocky claimed confidently. He could be presumptuous when he had an idea in mind.

When they heard what Rocky said, Louis and the others gaped at him in surprise. They were astonished by Rocky's blatant audacity.

"Since you are so confident, would you care to help me do that?" Louis said quickly as he saluted to Rocky.

"If you exempt me from the transportation missions for a month, I will consider your suggestion and draw a new route map for you." Rocky smiled as he stated his condition. Obviously, he had planned everything in advance.

"Camp Director, don't believe him. He must intend to slack off on the job. He's not planning on drawing us a new route map!" Rocky smirked outwardly when the Deputy Camp Director shouted in opposition. He had already taken this into consideration when he planned this. He knew that his plea would fall on deaf ears.

"Okay, I give you my word. But I hope I can see the new route map in three days." Louis nodded his acceptance after a short deliberation. He wondered if Rocky was as talented as hearsay. This would definitely make or break his impression of the man.

"No problem. However, I will be needing several materials and the records of the previous transportation of army provisions and goods." Rocky nodded in conclusion to Louis.

"I'll assign someone to send them to you," Louis replied. Rocky was thankful that he was cooperative. He had gotten used to people who treated him badly and challenged him before they realized his brilliance.

Thereafter, Rocky spent three days as he collated the materials and the records he was provided with. A few days were expended when he hunted for spirit-manipulated beasts where he also familiarized himself with the terrain further. With this knowledge, he created a multifunction transportation route map that included multiple routes, emergency routes, retreat routes, and so on.

When Louis saw the multifunction transportation route map, he was totally taken aback with his mouth wide open.

"Rocky, did you make this all by yourself?" Louis asked. He found it interesting that Rocky finished the perfection that was the new transportation route map in three days.

"Is there a problem?" Rocky asked with an eyebrow lifted.

"No, of course not. I will personally hand it to the Deputy Commander in Chief at the front and ask her to look it over," Louis said promptly as he shook his head in astonishment.

"You are going to send it to the Deputy Commander in Chief?" Rocky asked with his eyebrows furrowed in surprise. He was not expecting that. He knew that Isis would be curious who made the new transportation route map once she laid her eyes on it. He lingered on that thought. But since he wouldn't remain at the logistics camp during the next month, nothing could bother him, not even if the moon and stars fell from the sky.

"I sure will!" Louis replied and nodded. He was silent for a minute but noticed something strange on the route map.
