Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1564 Finally Safe

"Finally, we're safe," Rocky said, slumping his shoulders and breathing out a sigh of relief.

"Well done!" Eunice exclaimed, nodding at Rocky and smiling.

"Now, you should rest. Next, we will travel back to Tiger Whisker Pass!" Rocky said to DeputyCommander Ma.

"Okay."

Deputy Commander Ma immediately instructed the team to rest where they stood. A few hourslater, they woke, stumbled to stand, and set out to make their return to Tiger Whisker Pass.

After a day and a night's journey, the troops finally reached their destination.

As soon as Tucker heard that the troops that were led by Deputy Commander Ma had returned, he,Bertram, and another deputy commander came out to welcome them in person. However, theirfaces quickly turned serious when the bedraggled soldiers came into their sight.

"What happened?" Tucker asked as the smile dropped from his face.

Deputy Commander Ma hurried to explain everything that had happened in detail. He spent a lot oftime focusing on how Rocky had saved them all. After all, it was the truth. There was no reason tohide anything.

"What do you mean the spiritual race set up a camp at the front line of Tiger Whisker Pass? Theymust be plotting something!" Tucker exclaimed. Anger filled him but he was also slightly grateful. Ifthey hadn't found about this, something bad would have happened.

"Sir, I suggest that we get an army together to surround and suppress them. The sooner, thebetter!” Deputy Commander Ma suggested, unable to turn a blind eye on it.

"I don't think that will be necessary. Now that we know about their whereabouts, they won't stay inCrescent Gorge," Rocky piped up.

"Basil is right. By the time we get there, they will have already run away," Tucker agreed.

"That's right. Thank you, Basil. Without you, we would have lost a great general from Tiger WhiskerPass." Tucker cupped his hands and bowed slightly towards Rocky.

"You're welcome, Commander. It is my duty. But the spirit warriors on my team, on the other hand,were exceptionally brave. It's not easy for them to risk their lives alongside me,” Rocky repliedhumbly.

"Regardless, you and your team have made a large contribution to our cause. Basil, we will awardyou a second-class merit and the other members in your team a third-class merit!" Tucker said,smiling wide.

"Thank you, sir!" Everyone, except for Kye, was naturally overjoyed at the announcement.

And yet, even though Kye was still not convinced, he didn't hate Rocky as much as before. He hadacknowledged the amount of courage Rocky possessed back in Crescent Gorge.

"Well, you can all go and rest now," Tucker said, dismissing all the warriors.

They scattered, anticipating the shelter, food, and sleep that was ahead of them. Rocky separatedfrom the group with Eunice.

"Sir, the spiritual race has attacked our front line area. I think they are planning something sinisterand I think it is necessary to investigate it," Bertram said the second that they were alone.

"I agree. Please go and look into it for me. You're the only one I can rely on now," Tucker repliedwith a nod.

"Yes, sir.” Bertram cupped his hands and departed with his order.

"Be careful and be quick!" Tucker called after him. Then he left.

Meanwhile, Rocky and Eunice returned to their residence. Eunice walked to the sink and fetched abasin full of water for Rocky. "Wash yourself with this. You have mud on your face.”

"Thank you.” Rocky nodded slightly and took the basin from her hands.

"I should thank you again. Without you, I don't think I would have made it out this time.” Euniceknew that if it weren't for the fact that Rocky had taken the risk to save them, their whole teamwould have been in grave danger.

"Don't flatter me. With your current strength, you should have been able to escape on your own,"Rocky said, waving his hand at her.

"Yes, but I'm part of an army now. I can't just run and leave the other soldiers behind. Besides, Iknew you would come and save us." Inexplicably, Eunice always trusted Rocky.

"Why?" Rocky asked, tilting his head slightly and looking up at her from where he sat.

"I just feel it in my gut. I believe that you will never let us fall into danger!" Eunice replied afterhesitating for a moment. Afterwards, her face flushed slightly.

"Fair enough. But, honestly, you guys were just lucky I was there this time. All the spirit warriors ofthe spiritual race were so powerful. No one from the human race could have gotten an advantageon them at all,” Rocky replied, sighing. After fighting against the commander of the spiritual race, hehad found that the strength of the spiritual race's spirit warriors was stronger than a human spiritwarrior's. There was a huge gap between the two races.

"Yes. But it was my first time meeting a member of the spiritual race. Although it's different fromwhat I imagined, I can see that they're very dangerous to deal with.” Eunice nodded in agreement."We need to be more careful in the future!" Once their exchange had finished, Rocky washed hisface and left the residence. Then, he traveled back to his Magic Spiritual Space and entered it torecuperate and rebuild his energy.

By the second day, Rocky's heroic deeds had spread all over Tiger Whisker Pass and he had becomean object for so many soldiers and spirit warriors to admire.

However, in the eyes of some people, Rocky was nothing but a thorn in their side.

"Deputy Commander Lin, that captain under you is super impressive. He only arrived here a coupleof days ago and he's already got a second-class merit under his belt. And that's good for him, butI'm afraid he will replace you as the deputy commander if he continues to improve like this,” Elliotsaid as he walked into Deputy Commander Lin's camp.

"What are you talking about, Elliot?" Deputy Commander Lin asked as his face darkened.

"Nothing. I'm just worried about you. I want to remind you to be careful,” Elliot said in a joking tone."I have worked for our commander for many years. I've made so many contributions and I'veaccompanied him through numerous hardships. I don't think that the commander will replace mewith a newcomer and I don't want to hear you suggest it again!" Deputy Commander Lin exclaimed,but inside, he felt slightly depressed at the news.

"I wouldn't be too confident if I were you. Just think about who Basil is for a second. He is an elitefrom the Sky-suppressing School and the representative of the Spiritual Infant Contest. He isdestined to have a bright future. If I were you, I would definitely take the opportunity to introduceyourself to him," Elliot continued, making it up as he went.

"So you mean..." Deputy Commander Lin, who had chomped onto the bait, looked sideways atElliot.

"We can't let this guy get too bigheaded. We have to teach him a lesson!" Elliot said determinedly."I know he has offended you in the past, but you shouldn't act rashly,” Deputy Commander Linreminded him. He thought that Elliot was playing with fire.

"I just want him to know that I am not a person to be trifled with. And in order to do that, I need afavor from you." Elliot cupped his hands.

"What's the favor? Just spit it out,” Deputy Commander Lin asked after a moment of hesitation."You're going to lead a team to patrol, right? When you do, you should send him to carry out a taskon his own. That's all,” Elliot said.

"You want to deal with him on your own?" Deputy Commander Lin asked with an understandingsmile.

"No, I'm no match for him. I've hired someone else," Elliot said in a lowered voice.

"Okay. I will help you, but you can't tell anyone else about this,” Deputy Commander Lin repliedafter even more hesitation. He also had his own selfish motive. After all, Elliot was Tucker's nephew.If Tucker was ever promoted, the position of the commander would fall into the hands of one of thethree deputy commanders. But who would take over the position would be Tucker's decision, sohaving a good relationship with Elliot was to Deputy Commander Lin's benefit.

"Thank you, deputy commander. I will remember your kindness." With a sinister smile on his face,Elliot left Deputy Commander Lin's camp.

"I hope he won't lift a stone and drop it on his own feet,” Deputy Commander Lin said with acunning smile, knowing that he had made the right decision.
