Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 379

"Commander in Chief, I've gotten wind of that the Timber Deity Empire's commander is one of their princesses. Is it true?" Dunn asked quite abruptly.

All the Commanders sitting in the room fixed their gaze to Lance, cudgeling their brains to figure out why a princess had such an exceptional leadership competence.

"It's said that this princess, Alyssa, has been sent to the spiritual race to study at a tender age. She is the same age as General Marcia, in her late 20s. And she also has reached the Divine Stage." Like most people, Lance had heard a lot about Alyssa but had never come face to face with her. There were all sorts of stories about her across the Wild Spirit Land. Lance heard the rumors and was curious about this foreign princess. Doubtless she was a force to be reckoned with. As the saying went, 'Even rumor is woven with a thread of truth'.

"Under 30, the Divine Stage?" Everyone in the room was stunned. They had never thought that the commander of the enemy was such a genius in both the leadership and cultivation.

"I guess the only one in the Wild Spirit Land who can compete with her is General Marcia." Lance nodded grimly.

Isis' hands clenched into fists and anger flashed across her cold eyes. She had a competitive nature and a desire to be the best. Losing to Alyssa this time was her biggest shame!

"This princess is said to be the military genius of the century. She covertly conducted many battles against other countries in the past several years. The king of the Timber Deity Empire has established an enormous tenderness for her. It's awe inspiring how she behaved in the fight against the Crimson Dragon Army. She backed us into a corner. She indeed lives up to her reputation," Lance said staunchly. Latching on to something was half the battle. Whoever had an inclination to succeed had to evaluate their rivals on the beam.

"Father, will you send support to the Loyal Dragon Pass? If so, I wish to lead the troop," Isis said to Lance. She was extremely proud as a peacock and defeat by Alyssa was too bitter pill to swallow.

"For now, we yet have heavy turn up at the Frozen River Pass. We have to tread cautiously. Every move of our main army we make now should be heedful. For safety's sake, we require to concentrate on the other two passes and keep them well shielded. I will personally lead a battalion to reinforce the Loyal Dragon Pass." Lance's remarks left every one caught on the hop.

"Father, you will lead the army yourself?" Isis asked in a quandary.

This was out of the blue for every Commander in this room. Lance hadn't appeared at the battle front for at least three years. Basically he always took the place in the rear and gave commands based on the overall situation. So Lance's unlooked-for request to lead an army himself was totally not bargained for.

"Does anyone have a perplexing question about that?" Lance's brows arched. The authority in his tone was crystal clear. Actually he passed the decision for two reasons. Firstly, he required to give a leg up to the flagging spirit of the Crimson Dragon Army. Secondly, it was about the time to take the Timber Deity Empire's army down a peg or two. They should be apprehensive the Crimson Dragon Army was not the meat on their chopping board.

As the leader of the army, he was under an obligation to do more than just issuing orders. He had to be in a position to engage in the front when necessary. This was the approach an efficient leader offered a support to his army's cohesion and sharpened its will.

All Commanders exchanged glances but said nothing. Clearly Lance had already made up his mind. There was no reason for them to respond no.

"Isis, I'm leaving you in command of the Frozen River Pass and the Wild Heaven Pass. Any problems?" Lance asked Isis solemnly. He had been a little on tenterhooks that his daughter might take this defeat pretty hard.

"No problem!" Isis saw the trouble in his father's eyes and swayed her head to dissipate his dreads. How could she be defeated like a walk in the park?

"So it's clear-cut. Commander Chen, Commander Lin and Commander Qian, the three of you will come with me. We will set off at noon with ten thousand soldiers. Now go make yourself ready for that." Lance chose an Elite Commander and two Frontline Commanders to be a tower of strength to him, then he released them with a wave.

The three commanders bowed and withdrew. The other commanders also left the room, leaving only Isis and Lance there.

"Father, there is something I require to report to you," Isis said after taking a breather.
