Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 339

Soon after, news that the enemies had retaken the Rough Slope reached the base camp of the Timber Deity Empire.

"Your Highness, our men were defeated and the Rough Slope has fallen to the Holy Dragon Empire!" a commander of the Timber Deity Empire reported urgently as soon as he walked into the camp of his top leader.

When the other commanders of the Timber Deity Empire heard the news, they exchanged stunned looks with each other. Although they knew that their princess, Alyssa never intended to hold the Rough Slope, it was still shocking to hear that it was recaptured so quickly. Obviously, the army that the Crimson Dragon Group sent to the Rough Slope was far from weak.

"Which army did the Crimson Dragon Group send to recapture the Rough Slope? How many soldiers did they have?" Alyssa, who was sitting in the Commander in Chief's position, asked immediately. She seemed quite calm for someone who had just lost a territory.

"Your Highness, it is said to be the northeast army of the Crimson Dragon Group. They seemed to have used only a few thousand soldiers to recapture the Rough Slope." Alyssa nodded to herself when she heard the commander's answer, as if she had just confirmed something.

"Of course... They would not send anyone else," Alyssa said confidently as if she planned it as well.

"Your Highness, you have already anticipated that happening?" the commanders wondered immediately. It had never crossed their minds and yet their princess had already predicted it. This was why they had come to respect her leadership despite her young age.

"The commander of the northeast army is called Marin. Although this woman is young, she is also very talented in the art of war. In the last confrontation between our two empires, she made our Timber Deity Empire army suffer quite a loss. However, none of the information is valuable. The most important information we received is that she has a secret identity," Alyssa said as the corner of her lips curved in a cold sneer. The others could tell she had found something favorable to them when they saw how excited she seemed to be.

"A secret identity?" The commanders on the spot glanced at each other and immediately began to speculate about the commander's secret identity.

"She is the niece of the Crimson Dragon Group's Commander in Chief, which also makes her the cousin of their Deputy Commander in Chief, Isis." Alyssa looked delighted as she shared this. She knew that not a lot of people knew this secret, even in their opponent's camp.

In addition to Lance and Isis, only a very limited number of highly ranked officers knew about that. Alyssa would have found it impossible to discover this if she was a normal citizen. Fortunately, Alyssa was not an ordinary person. She planted a spy in the Crimson Dragon Group, and this undercover spy had access to highly ranked officers of the Crimson Dragon Group.

After they heard this revelation, the commanders were all shocked. It had never occurred to them that these leaders could be hiding something like this. They did not realize that their princess was capable of subterfuge and trickery as well which made them respect her more.

"Your Highness, does Marin have something to do with your next plan?" One of the commanders speculated when they realized the pattern of her actions.

"As far as I know, Marin is deeply loved by her uncle, Lance. He treats her like his own daughter. Isis is also very fond of her cousin and treats her like her own little sister. Otherwise, young as Marin, she could never be promoted so fast and become a commander of a military camp. So, it would be natural to conclude that we have found one of the weaknesses of Isis and Lance—Marin." Alyssa explained to them with a pleased smile.
