Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 1958 Supply Of Troops

"You should get going. Split into two divisions as we originally planned," Rocky ordered right away.

"Understood." The four stony-faced girls nodded and immediately went to carry out the instruction.

After issuing the order, Rocky and Vivian then left the independent army and returned to the camp in

the Wind Plain.

"Wow. I didn't expect you'd train such an excellent army. Not to mention, your four confidantes are all

distinctly smart and powerful," Vivian promptly remarked. Her experience in leading soldiers to war with

other fiefs all year round in the Ghost Fief had earned her the skill of recognizing the quality of an army

with just a glance. Eunice and the other girls had definitely impressed her. She believed that they were

surely extraordinary.

"Why do you sound jealous?" Rocky shot back with a teasing smile.

"You're kidding, right?" Vivian exclaimed as her eyes widened in annoyance and disbelief.

"You know, they're all like younger sisters to me. I'm very grateful to them. It's because of their help and

support all along that I've got this far," Rocky explained with a sigh, feeling a little sentimental.

"Huh. I actually used to think you're boring, but really, you seem to be quite a lady's man," Vivian

snorted. They had been spending so much time together that she got to know more about Rocky each

day.

"Hey, that stings a bit!" Rocky chuckled wryly.

The following day after returning to the Wind Plain, the number of the Ghost Fief's troop immediately

reached thirty thousand when the reinforcements from the border joined them.

They rested for another day before Vivian led a third of the soldiers to attack Enoch's garrison at the

Wind Plain.

With her incredible strength and rich experience in the battlefield, they easily defeated their enemies,

which forced them to retreat a mile in less than a day.

Since the situation had become unfavorable for them, the commander of Enoch's garrison immediately

sent some of his men to the Red River Valley to ask for reinforcements.

Upon hearing that the Wind Plain was under assault, Enoch surmised that Zain was strong-arming him

to divide his forces. If he did so, he would be giving the royal army a chance to conquer the Red River

Valley once their defense weakened.

"It's no big deal. The enemy only has twenty thousand soldiers. Just hold out for a few more days!" Of

course, Enoch easily turned down the Wind Plain's request for reinforcements. He was unwilling to split

his troop.

Having failed to receive any support from their leader, the Wind Plain's garrison was left with no other

choice but to continue toughing it out.

As a result, the Wind Plain's garrison had lost ten thousand soldiers in less than three days. On the

other hand, the Ghost Fief's army had only lost about three thousand of their men.

Since things turned sour, the garrison commander decided to try his luck and ask for help from the Red

River Valley for a second time.

Unfortunately for them, the battle at the Red River Valley had reached a stalemate. The royal army led

by Zain was so strong that they had taken five of Enoch's defensive positions in a row, ready to attack

the Red River Valley's stronghold at any time.

Obviously, there was no way that Enoch would send the Wind Plain's garrison reinforcements at this

point. He insisted that they should fight on their own.

Enoch's repeated refusal to help crushed the morale of the entire garrison.

Needless to say, Rocky had already predicted that it was unlikely that Enoch would help them. When

he sensed that the time was ripe, he immediately summoned the reinforcements from the border and

sent them into the battlefield. Apparently, they had been hiding themselves all this while.

The Wind Plain's garrison was effectively driven to despair the minute they saw their enemy's

reinforcements. They simply lost the tiniest bit of courage to fight.

Upon seeing that the morale of the garrison was ultimately crushed, Rocky decided to go alone and

visit their base camp, which had been removed somewhere three miles away.

The moment Enoch's soldiers saw Rocky descending from the sky, they immediately became

extremely vigilant. Then, a medium-stage Spiritual Emperor wasted no time and quickly summoned

several Spiritual Kings to surround Rocky.

"Don't be too alarmed. I am the royal army's envoy. I'm just here to negotiate with your commander,"

Rocky declared with a straight face.

"Ha! We don't care if you are an envoy. There's no way we'll negotiate with you!" the medium-stage

Spiritual Emperor retorted in an aggressive and arrogant manner.

The next moment, he signaled to the Spiritual Kings, intending to attack Rocky and take him as

prisoner.

On the other hand, Rocky didn't even need to move a finger to retaliate. All of a sudden, his powerful

aura at the Shura Realm spread out, instantly astounding everyone.

"This aura... He's a Shura Realm master!"

"This is just too much! What an incredible power!"

"He could finish all of us if he really wants to!"

The soldiers were immediately intimidated that their legs couldn't help trembling, causing some of them

to fall on their knees.

As for the middle-level Spiritual Emperor, who spoke haughtily before Rocky, his face had gone pale

and his body became frozen stiff.

"So, are you ready to talk properly now?" Rocky asked coldly as his gaze swept among the soldiers

around him.

"H-hurry up! Someone go and report this to the commander!" the middle-level Spiritual Emperor

ordered, knowing that they were in a very dangerous position.

Not long after, the commander of the garrison got the news and came in a hurry to meet the man

claiming to be an envoy. Then, the moment he caught a glimpse of Rocky, he was utterly

dumbfounded. He didn't expect that someone could be this powerful.

"Pardon me, Master. What is it that you want?" The commander could only speak in a respectful tone,

fully aware that Rocky had the ability to take them all with ease. He was so careful not to offend Rocky

since it might cost them their lives.

"Believe it or not, I'm here to make peace. If you and your soldiers agree to surrender, the royal army

will show mercy to all of you. I'll make sure that nobody would be held guilty of treason!" Rocky

announced loudly and clearly.

Hearing this unexpected statement, the commander and the soldiers immediately looked at each other

and felt quite relieved. In fact, none of them intended to rebel against the royal family in the first place.

Thus, now that they were offered the chance to get out of this bloody battle, they were more than

willing to accept it.

"Then, we surrender! From the very beginning, this war was just forced upon us. Enoch is a selfish

man who doesn't event care about the lives of his subordinates!"

"If you are telling the truth that we won't be punished for treason, we promise that we'll do anything for

the royal family!"

"That's right. We've had enough of this pointless war!"

"Very well then. From now on, you will belong to the army of the Ghost Fief. It also means that you are

to take orders from Leader Gilbert. Do you understand?" Rocky asserted.

"The Ghost Fief's army? Shouldn't we be incorporated into the royal army?" the commander asked, a

bit confused at what Rocky just said.

"It doesn't really matter. Besides, do you really think that Prince Zain will accept you right into the royal

army and spare you that easily? If you want to make amends for your treason, prove yourselves by

joining us to end this battle!" Rocky replied, giving a very convincing response.

"I see. Of course, we will do the best that we can. Thank you for your wise counsel!" the commander

answered gratefully after being enlightened.

"All right then. Reorganize your troops and follow me to our camp." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Hearing this, the commander nodded in agreement and immediately ordered his soldiers to set out.

Afterward, they abandoned their own camp and followed Rocky.

With these additional troops, the number of the Ghost Fief's army drastically increased from thirty

thousand to fifty thousand. This was indeed a great boost in their fighting force.

Before long, Zain got the news that the Ghost Fief had taken over the Wind Plain and that they also

incorporated the troops that surrendered into their army. Naturally, this made the prince wonder

whether it was good news or not.

On one hand, it was a good thing that Enoch's troops at the Wind Plain were defeated. This way,

Enoch's army in the Red River Valley would further weaken since he would have to dispatch some of

his troops to defend the Wind Plain. On the other hand, since the Ghost Fief's army was not directly

under the royal family, the expansion of their forces did not necessarily bring advantage to the royal

army. In fact, Zain thought that it could even become a threat eventually.
