Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 424

"I didn't guess that the well-known Rocky Bai, who has beaten the Timber Deity Empire badly twice, is in actual fact as young as a sucking baby," a bald man, who was the probable leader of a group of spirit manipulators that Rocky didn't have the slightest idea, uttered in a contemptuous tone after taking a glimpse at Rocky. He was Sheehan, the deputy head of the Elite Regiment.

Rocky turned his squinting eyes to look at Sheehan. Then raising his eyebrows, he sneered, "It could be that I am young, but I have grown more hair than some people."

Perceiving the contemptuous remark, some people in the tent could not help but have a shriek of laughter.

"Son of a bitch! Do you want to perish?" Sheehan shouted on top of his voice boiling with anger, glaring at Rocky with his sharp eyes. Of course, he could not bear being made to eat a humble pie, especially by a very young person in this way. In the Elite Regiment, he was merely second to one person—the head of the regiment. And in the Crimson Dragon Group, he was simply constrained to adhere to the orders of one person—Lance. Therefore, he was extremely self-conceited. He hadn't had in the prospect that Rocky would pluck up the courage to refute him defiantly.

Rocky curled his lips as if he didn't see or give a tinker's curse about the indignation on Sheehan's face, which made the latter's hackles rise even more. As Sheehan clenched his two fists, a frightening to death sound was created from his joints.

Everybody else at present could not help but be in a blue funk about Rocky. They were familiar that Sheehan was one of the five strongest spirit manipulators in the Crimson Dragon Group. His vitality was about on a par with Isis'. Now that Rocky sent Sheehan into a rage, he was bringing about his own destruction in the eyes of the spectators.

"Deputy Head Sheehan, please conduct yourself well!" Isis exclaimed in a distinguished voice as the Deputy Commander in Chief when she discovered that Sheehan was rubbed up the wrong way by Rocky. She was conscious that Rocky would be the one to be beaten once the two resorted to violence. For the time being, the Crimson Dragon Army was in dire need of Rocky's talent. If Rocky was injured or perished, it would be a significant loss for the Crimson Dragon Army. That was why she stalked forward to keep Rocky from harm.

Sheehan was quite taken aback to peer Isis stand by Rocky. He knew unquestionably that he could not be an offense to Isis since she was Lance's daughter. Therefore, he simply grunted and released his fists. However, his gloomy eyes were still fixed on Rocky.

Lance took a glance at Sheehan, but he didn't utter anything. Then he gave Rocky an order. "Rocky Bai, I at this moment appoint you as an Elite Commander of the Crimson Dragon Army. You're commanding ten thousand troops from now henceforth."

Lance's order caught everybody present off guard. In a split second, all the people present burst into a turmoil.

"Commander in Chief..." All the Commanders present fixated their eyes on Lance with their wide-eyed eyes. They had no slightest inkling why he appointed Rocky as an Elite Commander.

All the members of the Elite Regiment, including Sheehan, were hit like a ton of bricks. They hadn't imagined that Lance would nominate such a young man as an Elite Commander. Undeniably it was an unprecedented appointment.

In typical cases, a Frontline Commander had to work for at least five years at the present position before he or she became an Elite Commander. Besides, he or she had to possess the strength at the Heavenly Stage already. Nobody could be appointed as an Elite Commander unless the two requirements were both met.

Certainly, nobody present, except Lance, Isis and Rocky himself, was apprehensive that Rocky had already been given the title of the Crimson Dragon General of the Crimson Dragon Group. Being treated fairly to the Deputy Commander in Chief, he even possessed a Crimson Dragon Token. Judging from this perspective, he was much more competent to be an Elite Commander.

Anyway, however, the Crimson Dragon General was nothing but an under wraps post without actual power. In comparison, the Elite Commander was a position with real power and was acknowledged by Lance in public. The two could not be compared simply.

"Commander in Chief, why did you out of the blue appoint me as an Elite Commander? Have you forgotten that I suggested I would not work as whichever kind of Commander," Rocky inquired while gawking at Lance with his perplexed eyes.

"Because it's too urgent now. The troops of the Timber Deity Empire have occupied our three strategic strongholds—the Hippo Land, the Deity Unicorn Valley, and the Dead Silence Mount. They cut off our logistic supply line and weaken the coordination between different units of our military. Therefore, I request you to command the troops. You're going to take all the three strategic strongholds back regardless of the cost," Lance explained concisely.

"There are so many Commanders here. Every one of them is more competent and more experienced than I am. You can order any one of them to command the troops. I presume they will do better. Why did you choose me?" Rocky asked, looking sullen.
