Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 430

Marin's brows furrowed in deep realization. "No wonder," she started, "the Crimson Dragon Army failed to siege the Hippo Land in all their three attempts. It turned out the defending army of the Timber Deity Empire has such a shrewd figure."

"But I'm not sure if this person is the Commander of our enemy's army." Sabina let her apprehension go out into the open.

Rocky found the need to stop any more discussions. "That's all for today," he declared. "Commander Dunn, please go and order the logistics team to prepare dinner for our soldiers and lead some soldiers to hunt for dinner. It's been a long day for them; they need more meat for their dinner." He took a deep breath, and then said to all the three people in front of him, "You all must be tired. You may now leave and take some rest." After ordering like a Commander, he turned and left.

Dunn followed suit and left Marin and Sabina alone.

As soon as she noticed Rocky was out of earshot, Marin approached Sabina with a curious face and asked, "Sabina, what kind of person do you think he is?"

"The kind who rubs me the wrong way," Sabina quickly responded.

"I used to feel the same way. But if it weren't for him, I might have been ambushed by the enemy," Marin replied honestly with a slight frown. Rocky was younger than her and had significantly less military experience than she did. However, he had the confidence of a competent general who had undergone hundreds of battles. He was also a quick thinker. Marin was still impressed by how he figured out the ambush by the enemies in their previous battle just by staring at the footprints they left behind. An ordinary person could not have figured that out. Now, she felt less annoyed with him. On the contrary, she thought highly of him.

"Indeed, he is a capable leader. It seems like he figured out the defense methods of our enemy at the very beginning of the battle," Sabina said coldly at first and then skeptically the next second.

"If that's the case," Marin asked, "why did he still use my offensive plan?" Realization slowly crept into her consciousness. If Rocky knew about the enemy's plan to ambush, it would have been much easier to not have pursued her plan at the beginning.

"Maybe he was trying to test the enemy. Yet, I don't know what he was trying to do! No one does!" Sabina added coldly. Then, she turned and left.

Marin frowned, sighed, and then walked back to her tent.

Rocky was strolling around the camp for a while. However, instead of turning towards his own tent, he moved towards the direction of Hippo Land stealthily.

"Marin's offensive plan was excellent. However, the blind side she found out was left by the defending army of the Timber Deity Empire on purpose. Thus, such an army is not weak and should not be underestimated. The same conclusion can be made after the army had repelled the three sieges of the Crimson Dragon Group," Rocky muttered to himself as he was flying towards the garrison camp of the Timber Deity Empire quietly and with much vigilance. With that thought in mind, he wanted to see more of the enemies' intelligence and understand what their Commander was like in person.

The Hippo Land was near the Arno River, and some tributaries of the river even went through the land. The land had a low terrain and its soil was soft, thereby giving it a large area of swampy land in the southeast part. Many wild spirit-manipulated beasts inhabited the area, making it a dangerous place where people rarely set foot on. Also, it was free from any attacks launched by any army.

Because of this natural barrier, the garrison of the Timber Deity Empire did not have guards to defend the southeast side of the land. They only safeguarded the west and middle sides and even set their camps at the southeast side.
