Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 735

"General Lance, if Commander in Chief Rocky had not disappeared, the rumor would naturally be scotched. However, it only seems probable that he has indeed betrayed our country and joined the Timber Deity Empire. If it weren't true, he would be standing here right now! If he really did submit to the Timber Deity Empire, it would be not easy to find him. But now, the problem is, the news of his treachery has already spread rapidly throughout the Holy Dragon Empire that our other neighboring countries may have already heard about it. If this is not taken care of immediately, it will cause a riot. When that happens, the consequences will be very dire," Priest Dean said after exchanging glances with Alston. He deliberately used a serious tone so that the emperor would be persuaded to announce Rocky's treason as soon as possible.

Priest Dean had always gained the approval of most ministers in the Holy Dragon Empire. Rocky's treason had caused a great deal of impact on the country's reputation. If the rumors had proven to be true, the whole empire would be greatly humiliated.

"I agree with you, Priest Dean. It will be hard to deal with it once it gets serious," said the emperor with a nod. As the ruler of the Holy Dragon Empire, he had to ponder on the overall situation, lest unnecessary trouble would be caused.

At that moment, Isis could not help but bite her pink lips in worry. All of a sudden, she knelt down on the floor and said to the emperor fervently, "Your Majesty, my husband would never betray our country. I can guarantee with my life that if it turns out that he did, I would be willing to take all the necessary punishments for him and kill myself without any complaints."

In the eyes of all the people present, Isis looked pitiful. In the past, she was known to have been courted by many men from both the royal family and the noble clans. However, she turned all of them down for Rocky, who was essentially a person of no importance or authority. None of them had expected that the ruthless Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group would be willing to appeal to the emperor's mercy for a man. If her enemies saw her then, they would not believe their eyes.

The people were surprised to witness the extent of Isis' love for Rocky. They were shocked to see that a strong woman would become so vulnerable in order to defend her husband.

The emperor was taken aback by her pleading as well. He had witnessed Isis' development from being a young girl to a woman, and had grown quite fond of her throughout the years. She was decisive, broad-minded, and benevolent. Therefore, if she dared to swear that Rocky was innocent, it meant that she had the utmost faith in him. Of course, it might also be the reason why Isis had taken Rocky as her husband. At that moment, the courage that Isis displayed made the emperor waver.

"Deputy Commander in Chief Isis, do not forget that your personal relation with Rocky should not coincide with the affairs of the state. Do you have any solid evidence that can prove his innocence? Otherwise, you will lose your life," Alston threatened Isis with his cold eyes.

To everyone's surprise, Allen and Marin, who were standing beside Isis, also fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, I can also swear with my life that Commander in Chief Rocky will never betray us. On the contrary, in order to protect the Crimson Dragon Army, he even risked his own life to divert the army of the Timber Deity Empire." Allen then revealed what happened after they were ambushed by the Timber Deity Empire army due to the unexpected leak of intelligence.

His outpouring caused an uproar in the entire Grand Holy Hall.

"Are you telling the truth?" After listening to Allen's testimony, the emperor was almost convinced that Rocky had not been disloyal to the Holy Dragon Empire. In fact, he had contributed significantly on the prosperity and progressiveness of their country.

"Commander Marin and I pledge our lives to this cause," Allen said calmly.

The emperor was inclined to believe Allen and Marin. In fact, Allen was a member of the Ji Clan who had nothing to do with Rocky. Hence, lying about Rocky would not benefit him in any way.

"Your Majesty, this is the joint statement of the Crimson Dragon Group. All the members of the Crimson Dragon Group are willing to guarantee the innocence of Commander in Chief Rocky with their lives." Lance went down on one knee and took out the scroll.
