Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 353

Very speedily, the news that the northeast military troops at the Rough Slope had successfully been brought in the replenishment of provisions and fodders was brought back by the more than two thousand troops that backed off to the front line.

When the Commanders in the Crimson Dragon Army learned that Rocky had successfully transported the provisions and fodders to the Rough Slope, they were all flabbergasted, because everybody thought it was a task impossible to fulfill. To their great wonder, however, Rocky had fulfilled it. It was a phenomenon in their eyes.

"He is really..." Isis sighed. She could not conceal the jubilation coming from her heart. That being the situation, the reinforcement troops from the headquarters would show up here in three days as long as they controlled the prevailing condition during the same course.

"It's excellent news that the provisions and fodders have set foot there. But I don't assume the twenty thousand troops of the Timber Deity Empire would sit still lingering for death. Perhaps they would inaugurate an ambush towards the Rough Slope." A sophisticated Elite Commander cleared the air and tabled out his concealed distress abruptly.

Finding out that, the other Commanders began mumbling to one another and exchanging points of view.

If the twenty thousand troops of the Timber Deity Empire instituted a charge from multiple directions at the same time, the northeast military troops could not control them out of the Rough Slope despite the fact it was a position pleasant to hold but complicated to assail. That was because the significant disparity in the number of troops was the indispensable component in respect to this matter.

"I am of the same opinion. So let's hold our horses and get a glimpse on how Rocky Bai can hold up for three days," Isis said. She noticed what the Elite Commander suggested made sense, but she supposed that Rocky must have figured out about that and made arrangements correspondingly. Now that she had wagered on him wholly, she could do nothing but believe he would constitute another wonder.

During nightfall, a bleak, thin wind it was, like a fine sour wine, searching the marrow and bringing no bloom to the cheek. The Rough Slope looked quiet from outside, but there was a scene of jubilation at the camp. After being starved for a few days, finally, the northeast military troops had an abundance of eating.

"All the credit goes to you, and we don't have to be starved any longer," Marin said while wending her way out of her tent together with Rocky. She smiled at the sight of the soldiers and the spirit manipulators who were eating ravenously. Her smile was one of happiness growing, much as a spring flower opened.

"You inquired why I dug my own grave by showing up here. What will be your reaction if I inform you that I came here for you?" Rocky asked with a faint, placating smile on his face when he abruptly swayed his head to peer at Marin.

"For me? Didn't you say..." Marin could no longer keep her countenance as if she was shocked somehow. When her wide-open eyes met Rocky's eyes, her heart began beating fast like a drummer, keeping rhythm, and keeping beat. Her face flushed red as a brick. She could not help but let her imagination run wild.

"Because the Deputy Commander in Chief assured me she would marry me as long as I saved your skin. How could I turn down such a mouth-watering condition?" Rocky said. His eyes gave out evil and attractive light.

Marin was struck dumb by Rocky's words. But very soon she glared at Rocky and scolded him angrily like a raging storm. "How could you threaten cousin Isis with me? You're crossing the boundaries!"

"Everybody is selfish. I can't help anybody without obtaining any personal benefit. As a matter of fact, if you don't want her to marry me, you can take that position and marry me instead!" Rocky suggested jokingly. He had an inclination to ridicule the girl.

"You..." Marin was struck dumb again. She had no remark to mutter, neither did she know whether she should giggle or sob. She assumed what Rocky said made sense. After all, he had taken a considerable risk in coming to her aid. He knew apparently what would transpire if he failed, but nevertheless, he preferred to come. It would be preposterous if he imperiled his life without taking any personal interest.

With these reflections cropping her mind, Marin hummed and hawed for a while. Then she said with a meaningful tone, "Okay. If you can beat back the Timber Deity Empire, I will wed you in place of cousin Isis. Anyway, you're not allowed to have any erroneous intention towards her."

Rocky was regaled by her feedback and fascinated by the sentiments between the cousins. They were both enthusiastic to sacrifice for each other's sake. Rocky could not help but sigh that maybe they loved each other more than common sisters.

As a prudent man, Rocky was aware precisely where to halt. He didn't utter any more regarding the subject.

"But what do you intend to do? Shouldn't you tell me in the first place?" Marin asked curiously as a fish. She wondered how to hold back the twenty thousand troops of the Timber Deity Empire.
