"Without Rocky's interference this time, I will definitely tell the Crimson Dragon Army that it is doomed to fail!" Alyssa sneered. In the past, Rocky had constantly ruined her plans, which almost made the Timber Deity Empire lose its power. If it weren't for Rocky, then her plan might have been successful and they would have become an overwhelming threat to the Crimson Dragon Army.
"If we can defeat the Crimson Dragon Army this time and I can get Rocky, then I would have killed two birds with one stone," Woods said confidently upon hearing Alyssa's words.
"Your Royal Highness, I have something to say. However, I'm afraid whether I should say it or not." Suddenly out of nowhere, Dunn asked for his permission.
"Come on, just spit it out!" Alyssa turned to look at Dunn.
"This guy, Rocky, is probably not an ordinary person. And keeping him is not a good thing for the Timber Deity Empire. Moreover, Your Royal Highness may not have complete confidence in bringing him back to the Timber Deity Empire. Which is why I think..." Dunn hesitantly said as he glanced at Woods.
"Wait, what do you mean by Rocky 'not an ordinary person'?" confused, Alyssa couldn't help but ask.
Right after the much confusing statement, Woods, along with the other commanders also looked at Dunn with bewildered faces.
"The Crimson Dragon Group has many rumors about Rocky. As far as I know, he was initially banished to the northeast military camp, and stayed unknown in the said camp since then. It was only when he showed his military talent that even Lance had thought highly of him in the Army Flag Contest. He later challenged me in the competition in which he had defeated me. But to everyone's surprise, he refused Lance's promotion offer and headed back to the northeast military camp. And Your Royal Highness has already known almost everything that had happened since then..." Dunn told them all the information he knew about Rocky.
"Even so, I still don't understand why you would brand Rocky as someone who is not an ordinary person." Alyssa's eyes widened at the thought of it.
"First of all, Rocky was banished to the army which clearly means that he must have done something unforgivable. But as far as I know, even Lance doesn't know where Rocky was banished from, not even the reason behind it. From this, we can infer that Rocky's identity was strictly confidential. On top of that, Rocky's identity in the record of the Crimson Dragon Group was also kept top secret. There was no information about him. How could Lance, one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, not even know about that?" After pausing for a while, he continued, "Aside from that, back in Rocky's time in the northeast military camp, he fought with a squad leader. During that time, he was only at second or third grade of the Earthly Stage in strength. However, during the competition, he turned out to be at the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage. He made such improvement in less than a year. But now, he was already a master at the Heavenly Stage. Do you think it's normal for him to make such an amazing improvement in a short period of time, Your Royal Highness?" Dunn explained in detail.
Meanwhile, everyone present in the tent was shocked at Dunn's revelation. From grade two or three of the Earthly Stage to the Heavenly Stage, it was almost impossible for anyone to achieve that with a year's practice.
"I see. Now that is really a problem." Alyssa couldn't help but nod her head as she realized who Rocky was.
"Commander Dunn? Are you sure that he didn't hide his true strength on purpose?" Woods asked in a serious tone.
"It would be normal if he hid the strength of the Earthly Stage in the past, but he had defeated me with all his strength in the competition. That is why it doesn't make sense that he could become a master of the Heavenly Stage in just a few months. Moreover, for the longest time that I have been staying with him, I still haven't realized that his strength has been promoted to the Heavenly Stage. It's so strange that his strength aura has never even changed!" Dunn said in disorientation.
Perplexed, Alyssa and Woods looked at each other with confused faces. If it wasn't because of Dunn's words, then they really would not notice Rocky's peculiarity. But if it were really the case, then the promotion of Rocky's strength could only be described in such an odd narrative.
