Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 603

One year ago, when Basil was sent to the Gehenna Border, Alston felt relieved since Basil was a big problem for him and his plans. Besides, Alston also knew that the spirit manipulators who were sent to the Gehenna Border seldom had chances to come back. Especially, with Basil's strength at the first grade of the Earthly Stage, he might have already died in the battlefield. Alston had almost forgotten the existence of Basil. If it wasn't for the battle between the Crimson Dragon Army and the Timber Deity Empire, he probably wouldn't have remembered Basil.

"Everyone, I'd like to hear your opinions," said the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire in a grave tone.

"Your Majesty, according to the emergency report, General Lance is unable to return to the Evian City in time due to an ambush. I'm afraid the safety of the Evian City is fraught with grim possibilities. We should make a plan to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, if the Evian City falls into the enemy's hands, the Holy Dragon Empire will lose face. The Crimson Dragon Army is so useless! If they lose the Evian City to the Timber Deity Empire, they must take full responsibility."

"If the Evian City falls into the hands of the Timber Deity Empire, they will definitely take the opportunity to make unreasonable requests, but we will never compromise!"

The military officers also shared their own opinions, the aggressiveness never leaving their faces as they spoke their hearts out. But they all thought of one same thing: the Evian City was going to fall into the enemy's hands.

"Marcia, what do you think?" The emperor's face turned solemn when he heard the military officers' words. Then, he turned to a beauty standing at the corner, waiting for her reply. The beauty was none other than Marcia. She nodded to the emperor and took a step forward to make her presence known.

"The reason why the Crimson Dragon Army suffered such a huge loss this time is that they underestimated the enemy's capabilities. Moreover, the Commander in Chief of the Timber Deity Empire is Alyssa Mu. Have I mentioned her to you before, Your Majesty? Last time, when I was ordered to search for the treasure, I met her. She is not a simple and easy person!" Marcia said coldly. If it were not for Basil, also known to some as Rocky who had come in time to save her, the consequences would've been unthinkable.

"I've heard of other things about Princess Alyssa as well. She was sent to the spiritual race at an early age, and only returned to the Timber Deity Empire a few years ago. It's said that she's adept with both the pen and the sword, and she is a military genius," Alston said with a nod.

"Even so, the Crimson Dragon Army shouldn't have fought like this with General Lance's experience?" The emperor was also a bit puzzled. The Crimson Dragon Group had been guarding the Gehenna Border for a long time now, and nothing had ever gone wrong before. But this time, the Crimson Dragon Group was completely tricked by the Timber Deity Empire.

"Maybe there are other reasons why the Crimson Dragon Group has arrived in this bad situation," Marcia said calmly. In fact, Sabina would send a letter to her every two or three days, telling her every move of Rocky and the Crimson Dragon Group. Therefore, Marcia knew the current situation of the Crimson Dragon Group like the back of her hand. The Crimson Dragon Group was at a disadvantageous position right now because there might be a possibility of a traitor hiding in the dark, leaking classified information to the Timber Deity Empire. Even Lance was beguiled into an ambush. If it weren't for the fact that Rocky had helped the Crimson Dragon Army out several times, the Crimson Dragon Army would have lost to the Timber Deity Empire a long time ago. In fact, Rocky had made a great contribution to the Holy Dragon Empire.

"It seems that we have no choice but to wait. Let's call it a day. You may leave now." The emperor dismissed them with a deep sigh. He did not seem to be in the mood to deal with the state affairs either. He beckoned all the ministers to retreat, and only Priest Dean was left behind.

"Is there any news about Basil?" the emperor asked Priest Dean, who was standing in front of him.

"No, Your Majesty." Priest Dean shook his head.

"It's strange. How did he go missing all of a sudden?" The emperor looked downcast and grim. At the same time, he was puzzled. How was it possible that he had heard nothing about Basil after he was sent to the Gehenna Border? The emperor had long sent Priest Dean to secretly look for Basil, but until now, there was no news about him.

"It's my dereliction of duty, I must apologize, Your Majesty. I didn't expect that the Timber Deity Empire would suddenly start a war with the Holy Dragon Empire, and the army that His Royal Highness has joined has been also reorganized. That is why we've lost the whereabouts of His Royal Highness. Besides, the identity of His Royal Highness is top secret, and nobody in the Crimson Dragon Group knows that. So it's very difficult to find His Royal Highness at this moment," Priest Dean responded.
