Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 314 The Start

The third round was to be held at the area where the Army Flag Contest was held. And each side leda team with matching strengths of thirty spirit manipulators each.

The two teams were divided into an attacker and a defender. The rules of the final round weresimple. If the attackers managed to capture the flag from the defenders, their commander would beconsidered victorious. Similarly, if the defenders were able to defend their flag from the attackerswithin a given time then the commander of the defenders would be declared the winner.

Spirit manipulators were limited in number so the side who had the least number of casualtieswould receive advantage. The competition allowed the leader to join. Thus, it could be a battlebetween the teams or a duel between their commanders.

One of the leaders was Dunn from the east-southeast military camp. His leadership skills werecomparable to that of a Frontline Commander and he had established brilliant achievements in war.From that aspect, he was not too far from a Frontline Commander of the Crimson Dragon Group.And Dunn was seasoned in actual combat and very decisive. He was known as one of the deadliestin the battlefield.

Compared to Dunn, Rocky was inferior from a military experience perspective. Even though he waspraised by Lance and showed excellent skill in the tactical deployment of troops during the ArmyFlag Contest, he had never led any actual army himself. What made matters worse was the fact thathe had only 30 people in his team. This required more precise tactics and more war experience inorder to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of war and to minimize the losses for theteam.

Rocky was unlikely to win and many could tell this easily by the mere comparison of battleexperiences between the two combatants.

People thought that the wise move for Rocky was to pick the defender side. Once he picked thedefender side, he only needed to choose a highly defensible location. Once he picked the idealdefensible position, he could also minimize the casualties that he could incur from the battle andminimized losses had advantages.

Lance, the other Commanders and officers arrived at the platform and waited for the start of thecompetition. Isis and Marin were there too.

Dunn arrived early and stood with full confidence. He seemed more than prepared for the finalround.

"Where is Rocky? This is unbelievable!" Isis was annoyed by Rocky's delay, especially since everyonebut him was already there.

"Maybe Sheridan took him to the brothels?" Marin said.

"Brothels?" Isis stared at her in disbelief.

"Yes. He was there yesterday,” Marin replied nodding

"How could he do that? What was Sheridan thinking? He knew Rocky had to compete today," Isiscomplained.

Even the Commanders and officers started to wonder why Rocky had not arrived yet. Whisperingstarted among them.

It was the time to start the competition but Rocky had not arrived yet. The people started tobecome uneasy with the waiting.

"Is he scared? What is taking him so long to come over?" Dunn said in an arrogant tone.

"Hey Dunn, wouldn't it be better if he doesn't arrive at all? You can win without a fight!" Isis said andthen stared at Dunn.

"That would not be fun! But it would be clever of him if he decides not to come. Because thecompetition will not end well for him if he appears!" Dunn was a crazy guy and he offended manypeople in the Crimson Dragon Group. And that was one of the main reasons why he remained aDeputy Commander despite his talent.

"Don’t jump to conclusions, Dunn. It would be unfortunate if you get embarrassed in the end,”Marin added.

"Marin, you seem to have quite a lot of confidence in Rocky. He is only the beast breeder of yourcamp. But what confuses me is why he is still a beast breeder if he's so brilliant? Or maybe you justdon't take this competition too seriously,” Dunn said sarcastically.

Marin said nothing.

"Or maybe Rocky offended you, so you treated him like that? Some commanders are just afraid thatthey'll be replaced by someone who is more powerful than themselves. So those commanderswould do anything to keep their positions.” Dunn implied that Marin was simply jealous of Rocky.The Commanders who kept Dunn at his current position were annoyed at his words. They knew thatDunn referred to them so they decided to stay silent.

"Dunn, behave yourself in front of the Commander in Chief!" But there was one commander whowas prepared to give him a lecture.

"I am just telling the truth.” Although Dunn was unruly, he was still afraid to face Lance. He knew hecouldn't afford to offend someone like Lance.

Lance remained still and glanced at Marin. At length, he said, "There is actually a good reason whyRocky was appointed as the beast breeder in the military camp. Of course, Marin does not mean tohumiliate Rocky. Actually, he is the apprentice of our new beast tamer. And I believe you all knowhow important a beast tamer is to a military camp and I do not need to elaborate on that matter."There was an uproar among the people all of a sudden.

"Is the newly appointed beast tamer that Sheridan? The most powerful beast tamer of the HolyDragon Empire? He had rejected the invitation of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire to thePalace City several times."

"I heard Sheridan used to report to the northeast military camp and it took a lot so that theCommander in Chief can invite him over.”

"And as he just said, Rocky is the apprentice of Sheridan which means he is an excellent beast tamertoo, right?"

"No wonder he could manipulate two spirit-manipulated beasts at the same time."

Everyone present was astonished, amazed that Rocky surprised them yet again after the ones heshowed before. Who had ever thought that Rocky was the apprentice of the most powerful beasttamer in the Holy Dragon Empire!

"I didn’t expect that. Interesting! Haha!" Dunn who never took others seriously was yet surprised byRocky. Then he laughed out.

Now that Lance had mentioned it. There were stories that Dunn and Sheridan knew each other well.They shared their love for alcoholic drinks. It was said that they would not stop drinking until theywere completely drunk.

"He's coming!" A figure walked towards the competition area with a spirit-manipulated beast.

They all turned to look at the approaching figure. They were surprised that the figure was barelyable to keep his balance as he swayed on both sides as he walked

The figure was Rocky. A drunk Rocky to be exact.

Everyone who watched Rocky walk towards the competition area was confused. The last round ofthe competition was about to start and Rocky decided to arrive in that state. What was he thinking ifhe was thinking at all?
