Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 177 I Have Been Set Up Again! (Part Two)

The next day, Marin gathered the whole army and brought Rocky on trial in front of all the soldiersat the battlefield of the northeast military camp.

As a result, the whole battlefield never looked so crowded as it was today. People filled the wholebattlefield so quickly as if this was what they were waiting for their whole lives. The moment Rockywas taken to the battlefield, people around him immediately pointed at him and talked about himone after another. Everyone was saying something that it was almost hard to make out what it wasabout or who said what.

"This guy is a complete lunatic, a rapist, a cold-blooded killer, and a real disgrace to our entirenortheast military camp.”

"Yes, you are right. Although he used to be a little weakling, he also had his own skills andreputation. But now, I didn't expect him to be a black-hearted guy who relied on his strength anddid so many evil things."

"I'm afraid that after he had killed so many people, his only fate will be a quick death. His first-classmerit just meant nothing to him. In the end, he still brings himself his own destruction.”

For a moment, the whole battlefield was very noisy and bustling, the voices criticizing Rocky couldbe heard one after another. Everyone had something to say. In the eyes of almost all the army,Rocky was already notorious and a disgrace to the entire military camp.

Meanwhile, Rocky wasn't the only one getting all the hate. The sixth squad's spirit manipulatorswere also suffering from the contemptuous looks from the soldiers all around them because Rockywas their captain.

"I didn’t expect that our captain was a pervert and a crazy killer. We should have never trusted himso much before!" one of the sixth squad's spirit manipulators complained in a low voice, his eyes fullof disdain. They tried so hard to disassociate themselves from him in order to avoid criticism.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Our captain is definitely not that kind of person. Don't forget thathe had saved our lives!" Thor retorted back and stared angrily at him as soon as he heard the harshwords about his captain. He believed Rocky so much and he hated to hear anyone say anything toslander him.

"Even though he had saved us before, so what? His actions have brought huge disgrace to oursquad. Now, we don't even dare to hold up our heads high among other members of squads. In thepast, we only had to suffer some petty sneers. Yet now, whenever we go, we will be disdainedBecause of such a captain, we're not much better than a piece of smelly garbage!" another spiritmanipulator of the sixth squad grumbled. He wasn't so close to Rocky and only felt that he wasbadly influenced by Rocky's behaviors.

"You are so ungrateful! Have you forgotten what he had done for us? I trust our captain! He isinnocent and he won't do such things to ruin his reputation. You all just wait and see! The truth willbe brought to light sooner or later,” cried Joss in a huff. Both he and Thor were willing to trust theircaptain no matter what happened. They also did not believe he was capable of doing suchunspeakable crimes.

When the crowd was in hot discussions, Marin and the other two Deputy Commanders looked on asthey sat on the martial arts platform at the end of the battlefield. Soon enough, Rocky was takenthere.

Looking up at Marin, Rocky saw Marin's face was so indifferent. Her eyes were cold towards him. Itwasn't the reaction he was expecting at all. He immediately felt a little strange and thought, “Why isshe staring at me coldly? What has she found out?" All of a sudden, he felt a very sinister glancecasting upon him from sideway. He turned around and saw Evan who was standing not so far awayfrom him. He was looking at Rocky with a satisfied and wicked smile on his face. He was obviouslyglad at Rocky's predicament.

"Deputy Commander Chen, please announce the results of your investigation yesterday," Marin saidand signaled him to begin.

Deputy Commander Chen nodded. He immediately got up, stood in front of the martial artsplatform, looked around the army, then looked at Rocky. He took a deep breath and began toannounce loudly and slowly, "After yesterday's careful investigation, there is solid evidence to provethat the one responsible for the innocent villager’ deaths and the rape of the young girl is... noneother than Rocky."

He had hardly finished his words when the crowd burst into an uproar. They all condemned him asthe black sheep of the army. Insults and angry shouts were thrown around.

Rocky was shocked and his eyes nearly popped out the moment he heard what Deputy CommanderChen said. He knew he was not telling the truth because he saw what happened. DeputyCommander Chen was no doubt lying in front of the public, but he just couldn't figure out why helied. With a sharp and ferocious look on his face, Rocky snarled, "Deputy Commander Chen, did youreally have an investigation?”

"Rocky, do you still want to argue and defend for yourself? Several villagers have accused you ofhaving killed an old man and raped a young girl," said Deputy Commander Chen firmly andinsistently.

"Then, the villagers and the young girl who you claimed that I raped should be brought up here..."Rocky said coldly. Luckily, he was not overwhelmed by his shock and anger. Now he knew DeputyCommander Chen must have been on the same team with Evan and Matthew. They all wanted toset him up and kill him. He had to fight back and protect himself alone. Right now, the witnesseswere his way out of this. If he could convince them to take back their wrongful accusations, hemight get out of this easily. But then again, when was anything ever easy for him?

"Rocky, do you think I'm trying to frame you? Alright then, I'll make you admit your crimes sincerely.Bring the witnesses up here!" Deputy Commander Chen continued as he threw a cold glance atRocky. He was confident that the villagers would indict him.

Soon, several villagers from the village at the east of the military camp were brought up. They alllooked frightened and timid. From an onlooker's point of view, it would seem they were terrifiedbecause of Rocky. But in reality, they were scared to die if they did not frame Rocky for the crimesAs soon as they were taken to Rocky's side, they immediately bowed their heads and knelt to Marin."Do you all recognize the man near you?" Deputy Commander Chen asked the villagers sternly.

The villagers glanced at Rocky and nodded one after another.

"What did this man do in your village yesterday?" Deputy Commander Chen continued

"He killed... killed people. And... he also raped a girl in our village..."

"That's right... We all saw what he did with our own eyes."

"He... he often came to our village to rob us of our cattle and sheep..."

The villagers faltered one after another. They stammered as if they were unsure of what they weresaying.

"You..." Rocky was stunned and lost for the right words when he heard the villagers madeslanderous charges against him. He could only stare at them ferociously, as if he wanted to kill themwith his eyes.

The villagers were immediately intimidated and their face grew pale. They had to lower their headsto avoid any eye contact with Rocky. They were in such a tight spot because they were forced tomake such accusations against Rocky. If they didn't, they would be killed. So for the sake of theirlives, they must be firm in framing him.
