Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 325 New Arrangement
As Rocky walked closer to Marin's tent, a giant creature flew over his head and cast him under itsenormous shadow. The silver scales over its body glinted gloriously under the sun. A closer look at itrevealed the silhouette of the breeze that blew against the creature. It painted an intimidating butwondrous picture for all to see.
The soldiers who had been busy packing previously left their tasks and gawked unabashedly at theglorious beast. Work in the northeast military camp came to a halt as everyone's attention wastaken by the creature.
Their eyes followed it in its magnificent flight until the giant creature slowly landed on the openfield. It gave out a deafening roar as if it enjoyed everyone's attention.
"Is this..." Rocky scrutinized the creature. It looked awfully familiar to him but he struggled toremember where he had seen it. "Silver Wind!" Rocky exclaimed as he finally remembered fromwhere he had encountered the majestic creature. This was Isis’ spirit-manipulated beast namedSilver Wind.
"This war dragon should be at the fourth grade of the four-star level," Rocky remarked. He haddeduced this when he observed Silver Wind's body characters and the aura around it.
Isis had named it Silver Wind, but this war dragon's formal name was Celerity Wind Dragon. The topones of this kind could reach the five-star level. Although Isis’ Celerity Wind Dragon was only a four-star one, it was still a rare spirit-manipulated beast if we considered that superior races like dragonswere few and far between.
Despite the fact that the Celerity Wind Dragon was officially categorized as a war dragon, the BeastEncyclopedia revealed that it was a descendant, and thus, a crossbreed of both spiritual dragon andwar dragon. In this way, the Celerity Wind Dragon was substantially more powerful than ordinarywar dragons with its inherent special power that came from its spiritual dragon lineage.
Rocky was snapped away from his thoughts as a slender figure jumped down from Silver Wind. Shemoved with grace and poise that captivated the soldiers’ eyes. This charming figure was none otherthan Isis.
Rocky's heart thumped fast as he met Isis’ beautiful eyes. A strong sense of foreboding spread in hischest. He looked away from Isis in discomfort, and convinced himself that her appearance meanttrouble in the horizon.
As Isis walked towards Rocky, uproar broke out among the soldiers who had gathered around. Theyall stared, slack jawed as they wondered, “What could the Deputy Commander in Chief want fromRocky?" At the same time, they were jealous of Rocky who had the chance to rub elbows with abeauty like Isis.
"What a coincidence, Deputy Commander in Chief! I didn't think that I would run into you here, ha-ha!" Rocky laughed awkwardly. Now that he had no way to avoid Isis, he had to force himself andfaced her directly.
"It's not a coincidence. I'm here to see you." Isis told Rocky directly. Her business-like mannershowed in her posture and tone of voice.
"You are here to see me?" Rocky's eyes widened in panic. It seemed that the foreshadowing he feltearlier was right on the money.
"Deputy Commander in Chief!" Marin greeted Isis warmly as she came out of her tent. Rocky almostforgot that they were standing right in front of her tent.
"Commander Marin, can I borrow your tent for a while?" Marin glanced at Rocky, and then turned aquestioning gaze at Isis.
They seemed to talk without words, which ended when Marin nodded her permission to Isis.
Rocky could tell from the duo's body language that Marin knew what Isis was here for. They musthave planned it while he was away or possibly earlier.
"Let's go inside." Isis instructed to Rocky before she left them and entered Marin's tent first.
Rocky glanced at Marin and waited for her to say something. When she didn't, he turned away andfollowed Isis into the tent.
Inside, Isis sat comfortably in Marin's usual place. They sat in awkward silence, and Rocky waited forher to talk while Isis seemed at a loss for words.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, what do you want from me? I'm sure you didn't invite me here just sowe can sit and stare at each other?” Rocky joked clumsily as he covered up the discomfort he felt."Do you have a problem with that? You have seen me naked but I'm not allowed to stare at you foras long as I'd like?" Isis refuted, which rendered Rocky speechless. It would pass as confident banter,except her cheeks flushed prettily as if she just realized what she had said.
Rocky had no answer for that. So, he shrugged his shoulders, resigned, and waited for her to speak."To tell you the truth, my father's original plan was to banish you to the front-line battlefield,” Isisstarted. The blush on her face had rescinded and she looked serious once again.
Rocky thought Isis was kidding at first, but when he saw her solemn face, he knew that she meant it.'Did I cross the line this time?" he wondered as his brows frowned slightly.
"You refused my father's offer in public. Do you really think that you can get away with that easily?You defied the order of the Commander in Chief which is as good as going against the military law.You would have been punished according to the military rule. If not because of Marin, you wouldhave been seized and thrown into prison for days," Isis said as she observed Rocky's reaction to thisrevelation.
Rocky, however, still remained calm, as if he didn't care it at all.
"Besides, you should appreciate me." Isis suddenly told Rocky and changed the topic. His lack ofreaction exasperated her a little.
"You said I should thank you. That means that I don't have to go to the frontline. Am I right?" Rockyanswered. He realized what Isis was going to say next.
"Smart men are so boring!" Isis remarked as she pouted. She originally wanted to see Rockyflustered but he remained calm as if he could already tell what she would say. It pissed her off alittle.
"You have two options. You can either go to the front-line battlefield as your punishment or acceptthe position I have arranged for you," Isis offered.
"Well, it sounds like I have no choice at all,” Rocky remarked as he frowned in frustration.
"That's right! You have no choice.” Isis smirked at Rocky. Even an idiot would choose to accept thesecond option. Who else would want to go to the front-line battlefield voluntarily, where they coulddie at any moment? Isis counted on that to make sure Rocky would accept the position she hadarranged for him.
"How about this, Deputy Commander in Chief? Let's make a deal. If you can help me get out of thistrouble, I will keep our little secret between us forever. Otherwise, you can't blame me if rumorsabout your size and your moles in secret places spread among the Crimson Dragon Group. I know alot of people who would definitely enjoy that." Typically, Rocky was not the kind of person who usedthreats like that but now that he had been pushed into a corner, he had no choice and threatenedIsis. Ordinarily, he would never consider such a cowardly plan but desperate times called fordesperate measure
Isis smirked at Rocky to show she was not at all bothered by his threats. "I knew this would happensooner or later. I have already prepared myself not to mind at all. If you dare to tell others aboutthat, I will tell my father what you have done to his precious daughter. My father will definitely killyou and then throw your corpse to some covert place to feed wild beasts. If you desire death somuch, why don't you do it?" Isis challenged Rocky. She knew that he would throw that in her face,but she prepared well for this meeting. As the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson DragonGroup, Isis would not be easily shaken, especially not by a threat as empty as Rocky's threat. FromRocky's sour expression, she knew that she had succeeded in turning the tables under such acircumstance.
Rocky was taken aback by this declaration and marveled at Isis’ boldness. Last time, she threatenedhim and accused him that he stole her underwear. And her threat had definitely intensified this time.If she executed this plan, Rocky knew well the grave consequence that awaited him.
"Well, I can accept the position you offer. But under two conditions. What do you say?" Rocky mighthave been cornered but he would not give in that easily.
"Spill it!" Isis prompted, annoyed at his stubbornness.
"First, I will not work at the headquarters. And second, I need you figure out a way to let me stayhere. I heard that the northeast military camp will go to the front-line battlefield, but I don't want toleave. As long as you fulfill those two requests, I will accept the position you have arranged for me,"Rocky stated. He made sure to meet her eyes determinedly. This showed her that he would not bemoved from these conditions.
