Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1146 The Black Dragon Group

Although the Holy Dragon Empire now detached itself from the Dragon Master Clan, the wholeaffair didn't have much of an impact on the empire. It was still financially secure and wasindependently strong. The only drawback was the continuous invasion of other empires throughdifferent borders, resulting in wars on all corners of the empire. Without the support of the DragonMaster Clan, the Holy Dragon Empire was like a lone wolf which the enemies assumed would be aneasy target. Backed by the different clans of the spiritual race, they grew ambitious and greedy todevour the rich empire.

Unfortunately for the intruders, the Holy Dragon Empire was not ripe for the taking yet. With thethree important borders being guarded by armies led by the Three Great Generals, the empire wasimpregnable. However, the continuous war affected the overall balance in power of the empire.Half a month ago, the border guarded by the Rime Army Group was besieged. To bring things backunder control, Marcia, the top commander of the army, went back to the army and took commandat the border.

A few days ago, Shirley also had returned to the Sky Army Group to assist her grandfather, ChiefBryant.

Rocky and the three women, along with Nigel, returned to the Imperial City to meet the emperor.When they finally met the emperor at the Lofty Dragon Hall, only a few important ministers wereleft behind, without the presence of Bryant, Marcia and Lance. The three were protecting theborders and were in command of their own legions. The hall felt a little cold without their presence."Greetings, Father." Rocky bowed to the emperor and the others followed suit.

The emperor beamed with joy at the sight of his son. His physical condition had improvedconsiderably, and he looked steady and powerful as usual. But since he was seriously injured byAlston, he had lost all his cultivation base. If he forced himself to use his strength now, it wouldcreate a huge burden on his body. So now, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was no differentfrom an ordinary man.

"Basil," he addressed, looking firmly at his son. "You already know why I called you here; I hadexplained everything in the letter. What do you think?"

"I'm curious as to why they want to see me. I think such a request is not just due to my previousachievements in the Crimson Dragon Group. Have you found out who they are, Father?" Rockyasked with a frown.

"Not yet. However, the southeast border guarded by the Black Dragon Group had lost several townsto the intruders already; our final stronghold is the Munoz Pass. If even the Munoz Pass is brokenthrough, the entire area will be lost to the intruders, and they will take control,” the emperor saidwith great concern. His expression was grim.

All this started a month ago. An unidentified army launched an attack on the southeast border ofthe Holy Dragon Empire, and although they were only fifty thousand people, their army destroyedeighty thousand troops of the Black Dragon Group guarding the border, and conquered the cities atthe border. And now, it had reached the last pass of the Holy Dragon Empire's highland in thesoutheast, the Munoz Pass. If the pass was lost to the enemies, the empire would be in serioustrouble.

In the last battle, the Commander in Chief of the Black Dragon Group was grievously injured by hiscounterpart. The army was now headless and disheartened.

Since the Three Great Generals were leading their own armies in other borders regions, they couldnot offer any support to the Black Dragon Group at the moment.

Driven to a corner, the emperor had sent a secret message to Rocky, hoping that his son would takecommand of the headless group. But what was most suspicious was that the Commander in Chief ofthe mysterious army had specifically asked for Rocky to fight against them.

"Well, since they want to meet me, I will oblige," Rocky said as he frowned.

"You should be very careful. We do not know who they are or what their intention is," the emperorwarned.

Isis stepped forward. "Father, I'll leave Nigel in the Palace City, and go to the border with Basil,” shesaid with the conviction of a warrior.

The emperor smiled as a silent relief washed over him. "Well, with you by his side, Basil will be safeand sound. Don't worry about Nigel. I will take care of him myself." He knew that Isis’ command inthe Holy Dragon Empire was only second to that of the Commanders in Chief of the four legions. Hecould rest assured knowing that she had Rocky's back. Moreover, this was a rare opportunity to getalong with his favorite grandson, and he couldn't be happier.

Isis walked over to him and handed over her son to the emperor. She had never been away fromhim, so Isis was a little reluctant to leave her baby.

"If you are worried about Nigel, you should stay,” Rocky said, reading Isis mind.

"I am more worried about you. Let's go!" she said. Rocky's opponent this time didn't seem like anordinary person. Although Sabina, the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Rime Army Group, was byhis side, Isis was still worried about him as the enemies became more formidable than ever.

Seeing that Isis had made up her mind, Rocky nodded and left the Lofty Dragon Hall with the threewomen after bidding farewell to his father. They left the Imperial City and headed straight for theheadquarters of the Black Dragon Group.

Before leaving, Rocky made some arrangements. He sent a letter to Laney, asking her to investigatethe origin of the mysterious army. He also sent a message back to Crimson City to make sure thatthey were prepared in case of any emergency.

Two days later, Rocky and the three women arrived at the Munoz Pass. As soon as they entered thepass, they saw that the camp was packed with injured soldiers and their morale was very low.

They headed straight to the tent of Boyd Guan, the Commander in Chief of the Black Dragon Group.As soon as they entered, they saw the seriously injured Boyd Guan. The other commanders of thegroup were present as well.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, Boyd Guan was tall and sturdy, and his limbs were big andmuscular. He looked like a black King Kong, giving off a strong aura even while he was badlyinjured. Although the man was over fifty, he still looked very much like he was in his thirties. Ofcourse, with a cultivation base at the third grade of the Divine Stage, he was one of the best in theHoly Dragon Empire.

Also, he was a skilled tactician and commanded his troops well.

However, his only weakness was that he was arrogant and didn't take kindly to others" opinions.Even though Rocky was the Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire, he still didn't think highly ofhim or his skills

"Greetings, Your Royal Highness," he said respectfully, but his expression showed no trace ofhumbleness.

"Commander in Chief Boyd, no need to be so courteous,” Rocky said, waving his hand.

"Ah, but Your Royal Highness, you're here to command the Black Dragon Group for me, and itseems like you have brought too many family members with you. Of course, the DeputyCommander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group is an exceptional addition.” Boyd Guan's facedarkened when he saw the three women surrounding Rocky. It didn't seem to him like Rocky hadcome to help him repel the enemies; it was more like he was taking a vacation with his girlfriends.Among the three women, Boyd Guan only recognized Isis because he had crossed path with heronce before.
