Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1147 Take Over The Command

Boyd and the other commanders couldn't help but cast a few more glances at the three women.They couldn't imagine what this Prince Crimson was thinking by bringing these beautiful andcharming women when he was supposed to help the Black Dragon Group out. Before they couldeven hear him out, they had already regarded him as a mere lecher.

"Family members'?" Isis couldn't help but raise her brows unpleasantly. "Commander in Chief, don'tyou know her?" she asked as she pointed at Sabina's direction.

"Well, should 1? Who is she then?" Boyd actually hadn't met Sabina before because he was stationedin the border all year long. Except going to the Imperial City to give his regular report to theemperor a couple of times throughout the year, he hardly got the chance to encounter themembers of the other groups. Thus, it was normal for him to not have met Sabina before."Greetings, Commander in Chief. I'm Sabina Ji. Maybe you haven't heard about me before, but Ibelieve that you must know my master, General Marcia,” Sabina, stepping forward, introducedherself with a cold expression on her face.

"Wait. Sabina... Sabina from the Ji Clan? You mean you're General Marcia's apprentice?" As Boydstarted hurling questions, the arrogance on his face had quickly faded. Recently, Rocky had reallybecome famous in the entire empire. Boyd knew that he had married the only daughter of GeneralLance, and now, he just heard that General Marcia's apprentice was also working for Rocky.

The smug look on the faces of the commanders behind Boyd also disappeared instantly. They foundit hard to breathe upon hearing about Sabina.

"And this one is the former chief of the Cao Clan, the top clan in Timber Deity Empire.” Isis movedon from Sabina and introduced Lucilla, who was on the other side.

"The chief of the Cao Clan... the top clan of Timber Deity Empire?” Boyd's voice began to tremble ashe repeated Isis’ words. It was too much of a shock for him to take it all at once. Isis knew Boyd'spersonality, so she deliberately put so much pressure on her introductions so as to ensure that Boydand the other commanders would know their place.

As Isis finished speaking, a few coughs were heard from the commanders as if they were trying toclear their throats. It was also very visible that these men couldn't help but swallow their saliva innervousness. Never did they expect that apart from Rocky's level in cultivation and position as aprince, he really stood on top of every man with General Lance's daughter as his wife and Marcia'sapprentice as his confidant. Even the former chief of the Cao Clan was at his disposal.

If they learned beforehand that each of those women around him did not just have a strikingappearance, but also a prominent background, they wouldn't act so presumptuous before themNow, it was as if they wanted the ground to swallow them.

"So, General Boyd, do you still think that Prince Crimson is just taking a tour while bringing hisfamily with him?" Isis asked, fixing her piercing eyes on Boyd.

At that time, Boyd just lowered his head and was rendered speechless.

"Isis, that's enough.” Rocky called from behind and interrupted her. Boyd should have alreadylearned his lesson, so he did not want the situation to be more embarrassing for him than it alreadywas.

Before walking aside, Isis took a quick cold glance at Boyd while pouting her lips.

"General Boyd, can you tell me the status of the on-going battle?" Rocky asked straightforwardly,jumping into their true purpose for coming.

"Three days ago, after we lost the last city, I led the rest of my soldiers into retreating here, theMunoz Pass. Fortunately, the terrain is steep, so we had the chance to block off the enemies’ attack.We have stayed here since then. Their fighting abilities were inconceivable. With just only half oftheir men, they were able to take out about fifty thousand of mine. It was plainly unbelievable.Furthermore, their Commander in Chief was a different type of beast. With just one move, he wasable to injure me badly!" Boyd said through gritted teeth as he recalled what they suffered for thelast few days.

"What? One move?" Rocky's eyebrows furrowed immediately when he heard what Boyd said. Boydmight not have the greatest personality but his strength was not something to be underestimated.If he was saying that he was defeated with just a single move, then the strength of the enemy wouldbe extremely troublesome.

Even the three women beside Rocky exchanged looks with each other. They instantly knew that atough battle was waiting ahead of them. This enemies’ Commander in Chief must be totallyconfident in his strength to even ask Rocky himself to fight him. While they pondered on thisinformation, they couldn't help but grow worried.

"So, how many soldiers are still left in the Black Dragon Group?" Rocky suddenly asked.

"Putting the wounded aside, a little more than twenty thousand are left,” Boyd quickly replied."We're at a disadvantage in number too, huh? This isn't good. We're in a tight spot right now." Isis'seyes narrowed as her face showed an anxious expression. Judging from their current situation, itwas obvious that the Black Dragon Group was in a passive situation and couldn't move freely.Compared to the other three groups that were led by the Three Great Generals, the Black DragonGroup's combat power was subpar. Since this mysterious enemy troop was able to inflict such heavylosses, it could be safe to assume that their strength could even match the groups led by the ThreeGreat Generals. And now that they outnumbered the Black Dragon Group, there seemed to be nochance of victory at all

"Over fifty thousand of your men were brought down with just half of their force? You must haveunderestimated them, General Boyd. Am I right?" Sabina didn't sugarcoat her words and blurted outthe obvious shortcomings of their leader.

Boyd couldn't look straight into Sabina’s eyes, knowing that she was right. During their firstencounter with the enemies, he didn't take them seriously. This was his fatal mistake that broughtforth heavy losses to both the soldiers and the towns. When they finally retreated into the MunozPass, he was so humiliated to admit that this mysterious army was so strong that he didn't knowhow else to deal with them.

"What about the distribution of the other side? Do you have adequate information about it?" Rockydidn't dwell on Boyd's mistakes and just asked about the enemies’ situation. This made Boydsomehow relieved. After all, there was not much left to say. He already knew the weight caused byhis blunders.

Then, he immediately ordered his men to get the topographic map and briefly explained the currentmilitary distribution of the enemy troop.

The Munoz Pass was located in a valley with cliffs on its back. Thus, if the enemies wanted to breakinto their base, they could only do so by attacking from the front side of the pass. Moreover, thevalley was basically barricaded by huge rocks, which formed a natural barrier. They were kind oflucky that they couldn't be easily infiltrated by their opponents.

However, this kind of natural barrier was like a double-edged sword. There was only a single way forthe entrance and exit. This was true for both the Black Dragon Group and the mysterious army. Theenemy only needed to guard the entrance of the pass and prevent Boyd and his men fromescaping. The food and provisions inside the Munoz Pass should only sustain them for a few days. Ifthose ran out, the enemy wouldn't even need to break inside to defeat them. Therefore, time andresources were also their enemies. If they wanted to overturn the situation, they needed to hurry up."How many days can the provisions and fodders in the pass support all of us?" Rocky asked for thecrucial detail.

"A little less than ten days," Boyd answered hesitantly.

"It means that we have to somehow make them retreat within ten days. Otherwise, we will be forcedto abandon the Munoz Pass. And that's exactly what they want. They would wait out there and bringus down as we sneak out,” Rocky said with a straight face.

"So, are we considering on letting go of our defense and focus on attacking?” Isis asked while alsosuggesting.

"Judging from their position, they obviously want us to take the initiative to fight. If we take theother path, we'll only starve ourselves to death,” Sabina added.

"You're right. Since they want to fight us, that's what we'll give them," Rocky declared in a sternvoice.

As the commanders, including Boyd, heard this, they immediately looked at him with disbelief intheir eyes.

"What are you talking about? Fight them? I think that's equal to suicide! With our current force, wecan't fight them head-on. If we really have to fight them, we need to wait until the reinforcementscome!" Boyd protested hysterical. He felt that Rocky was disregarding the lives of his soldiers, so hewouldn't let him do as he pleased.

"I came here under the direct order of His Majesty. I have been tasked to get your group out of thetrouble you made. If you won't allow me to do my job, then I don't have any reason to stay further.”Rocky made himself clear that he didn't want to waste any time. Upon saying this, he turned aroundand prepared to leave.

The three girls didn't utter any word and also followed him.

Taken aback at Rocky's sudden change of heart, Boyd had to give in. Right now, it was clear as daythat Rocky was their only lifeline. It was either they entrusted their lives to him or waited in despairbefore they died inside the pass. Without any hesitation, he shouted eagerly, "Please don't leave,Your Royal Highness. Please forgive my rudeness. I shall do whatever I can to cooperate!”

Upon hearing this, Rocky immediately stopped walking and turned around. His gaze swept acrossthe people present and said, "Well said. From now on, I will be in full charge of the Black DragonGroup. Anyone who disobeys my order shall be punished according to the military law!"

As soon as Rocky finished his declaration, his oppressive aura made Boyd and the othercommanders tremble on their knees. That was the moment they realized that Prince Crimson wasnot all for show. Even they, who had experienced countless battles before, were overwhelmed byRocky's mere presence.

From that moment, Rocky took over the Black Dragon Group and started a desperate counterattackagainst their mysterious opponents.
