Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 678

Although skeptical of Alston's reliability, Lance had no choice but to pay him respect. After all, Alston was the eldest prince of the Holy Dragon Empire, and no matter what he was up to, he would never allow anything bad to happen to their empire.

"I understand, Your Royal Highness. I'll inform the troops that you are now in charge of commanding the Crimson Dragon Army." Lance evidently hesitated for a while, but after gauging the matters at hand, he finally conceded.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Commander in Chief Lance. Rest assured that after I've successfully dealt with the Holy Sea Empire, I will definitely help the Crimson Dragon Army in defeating the Timber Deity Empire. And don't worry, all credits will surely be yours. I won't ask for any recognition," Alston said in his utmost diplomatic tone, slightly chuckling before turning around and walking away.

Even with the verbal assurance, Lance was still perturbed. His sullen face displayed how he remained anxious and alarmed as if something was urging him into paranoia.

"By the way, where is Rocky? My father has specifically told me that he is the primary reason why the Crimson Dragon Army has turned the tide this time. I must see him and personally express my gratitude," said Alston as he stopped, turning around to give Lance a stern smile.

"But Rocky is currently in the front line, directing military operations. I don't think he can leave the battlefield and be here at this moment," Lance answered after thinking for a while, heaving a deep breath at the sudden request of the prince.

"It's only a day. Without him, the Crimson Dragon Army would not collapse. Alright? Go and get him. I will leave this to you, Commander in Chief Lance." As soon as he gave out that order, Alston stormed away from the camp.

A day later, Rocky received a secret letter from Lance. Upon reading its content, his face suddenly turned very cold, his sharp eyes fumed with anger, and his extremely furrowed brows almost met at the center. As he tightly clutched the letter in his hand, a murderous aura enveloped his entire body. Whatever was in that letter surely did not make him happy at all.

"Rocky, what's wrong?" asked Isis. She just arrived at the tent, and seeing the dark aura surrounding Rocky somewhat worried her.

However, the latter kept his mouth mum, not minding the surrounding, and only blankly stared at nothing with evident fury.

This was the first time she had seen Rocky this fuming mad, even looking as if ready to slaughter anyone on his way.

"Rocky, hey! Are you okay?" Isis asked again, now in a softer voice, mindful not to agitate him further.

She tried to faintly touch him, causing Rocky to jolt as if an electric shock had sent him back to his senses. Still, with cold, dark eyes, he turned to Isis and asked, "Huh? What's up?"

"Nothing. It's just..." The slightly startled Isis stumbled over her words, trying to avoid his gaze.

"Oh, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Commander in Chief Lance wants us to come back to the main camp. He said someone wants to see us," informed Rocky, shaking his head.

"Someone wants to see us? Who?" Isis couldn't help but ask, tilting her head.

"Well, a big shot that we are not able to offend," Rocky uttered in a sarcastic tone.

"Come on, don't beat around the bush! Who is it?" Isis immediately grumbled teasingly.

"His Royal Highness!" Rocky exclaimed with a grim face and stern, sharp eyes.

"What? His Royal Highness came to the Gehenna Border?" Isis seemed somewhat surprised, as evidenced by her now widened eyes and half-agape mouth.

"Yeah, and he also asked the Commander in Chief Lance to order me to return. So, we're ordered to go back to the main camp and see His Royal Highness as soon as possible," Rocky said in a softer tone, but he clenched one of his hands behind his back into a fist.
