Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1553 The New Team Leader

The human race army currently had a total of three army-leading commanders. Each of them wasleading one hundred thousand troops to guard the left, middle, and right of the border battlefieldarea of the Ethereal Region to fend off the spiritual race's invasion. Under the three army-leadingcommanders were a total of eight grand commanders. One of them was the newly-slaughteredRaiden Chen, who was under the army-leading commander responsible for guarding the northwestbattlefield. A grand commanders was only inferior to a commander in chief and the three army-leading commanders in the human army.

So those commanders who were qualified for the new position of grand commander were itching tohave a shot.

"Then this competition will be a fierce one. A total of eight representatives from the Sky-suppressing School have been sent to the border battlefield this time. Two of them were assignedto us, and the remaining six have been assigned to the other three pass-guarding commanders.With their help, this contest will be relentless,” Bertram commented.

"There should be nine commanders in the left army, but only four of them are guarding the pass.The other five are guarding different regions of the front line on the left side. Apart from me, thereare only three other pass-guarding commanders who pose as strong threats. We have a great shotat this,” Tucker said confidently.

"Then we must seize every opportunity to contribute,” Bertram said. "But the battlefield we areassigned to protect is relatively peaceful. Our contributions may be not so impressive."

"It's better to contribute something than nothing at all. How about this? Starting tomorrow, arrangefor Deputy Commander Ma and Deputy Commander Lin to lead their troops to patrol the battlefieldin shifts. They will each have a turn every three days. They might just encounter the enemy whoplans to seize the Tiger Whisker Pass during a surprise attack,” Tucker suggested.

"Yes, sir." Bertram bowed and left.

Meanwhile, Rocky followed a grouchy-looking Deputy Commander Lin to where the supportingtroop was. As the name suggested, Deputy Commander Lin’s troop was responsible for providingassistance in times of crisis. Therefore, unlike the vanguard which often had the opportunity tostrike, the supporting troop seldom had the same opportunity to fight. Thus, it would be difficult forthem to contribute anything. On the bright side, they were the army with the least number ofcasualties. Many soldiers did their best to enter this troop. Thus, being its commander was deemeda well-paid and easy job.

Although they merely provided assistance, they were nearly as strong as the vanguard, and theyalmost had the same number of spirit warriors. After all, they were assigned the important task ofensuring the safety of their army provisions. If the provisions were not protected well, the entirearmy would be in great danger.

Normally, the supporting troop would not join the battle. But if they were to, that would mean theirarmy had fallen into a huge crisis.

The supporting troop led by Deputy Commander Lin was stationed in an open area on thenortheast side of the Tiger Whisker Pass. There were multiple military camps where many soldiersand spirit warriors came and went.

As soon as Deputy Commander Lin entered his military camp with Rocky, he called in a middle-agedman who looked like a commissioner. "Gage, this is Basil. He's one of the two King Realm warriorssent by the Sky-suppressing School to aid the Tiger Whisker Pass. Commander Wang has appointedhim to join our troop and lead our team of spirit warriors. Please accompany him to meet them.”"Yes, sir." Once Gage Xue heard that Rocky's identity, he straightened up and bowed respectfullytowards Rocky. “My name is Gage Xue. I'm in charge of the daily affairs of the back-up force. If youneed anything, just tell me!”

"Thank you, Mr. Xue," Rocky replied graciously.

"But what about the current team leader Kye? What happens to him now that Basil is the new teamleader? Kye has a bad temper, after all," Gage Xue said worriedly.

"This is Commander Wang's order. If Kye has any objections, let him talk to Commander Wang.Besides, I've been unsatisfied with him for a long time. If it wasn’t for him being the strongest spiritwarrior, I wouldn't have appointed him as their team leader. Now that Basil is here, he's a naturallymore suitable leader. Just give Kye the order,” Deputy Commander Lin instructed with disdain."But..." Gage Xue seemed to want to further add something.

"Don’t waste time. Take Basil there now. I have other things to deal with,” Deputy Commander Linordered impatiently and left immediately.

"Basil, this way please!" After the deputy commander left, Gage Xue sighed and shook his head.Rocky nodded and left with him

"Mr. Xue, the Kye you mentioned should be the team leader of the spirit warriors, right?” Rockyinquired amiably.

"Yes. His name is Kye Lin. He's a relative of Deputy Commander Lin. However, Kye is too impulsiveand constantly disobeys orders which has left Deputy Commander Lin very dissatisfied. But hisspiritual power is the strongest in all of the Tiger Whisker Pass. It is even on par with that of adeputy commander's level. If it weren't for his nasty temper and his several offenses againstnumerous commanders, then he would've been promoted to a deputy commander a long timeago.” Gage Xue noticed Rocky's kindness. He wasn't as arrogant as the other King Realm spiritwarriors he encountered, so he trusted him enough to tell him everything.

"Is that so? He seems like a very special person." The information piqued Rocky's interest.

"I'm afraid you'll think quite the opposite once you meet him." Gage Xue was in a cold sweat. Heknew that once Kye Lin was informed of his demotion, he'd definitely be enraged and cause aruckus.

As they were talking, Rocky and Gage Xue soon arrived at a tent that was slightly bigger than anormal tent. Once they entered, they saw some rising in the tent. Several Spirit Realm spirit warriorswere smoking, looking disheveled and dispirited. They looked less like spirit warriors and more likehooligans.

Rocky took a closer look and found a man lying on the innermost bed of the military tent. He wasaround thirty years old with thick eyebrows, thin eyes, and a mustache. Two new soldiers stoodbeside him. One massaged his feet while the other fanned him.

The man lying on the bed was none other than Kye Lin, the team leader of the spirit warriors."Deputy Commander Lin...” Gage Xue called him cautiously.

His voice might've been too low because Kye Lin didn't respond at all.

Just as Gage Xue was about to call him again, Rocky stretched out his hand and gave him a hint tostop. He then made his way towards Kye, as he released a little bit of his strong spiritual power.
