Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 604 There Are Reasons

The Commanders looked at each other in dismay upon hearing that. After all, they had never seenRocky ever since the Timber Deity Empire had withdrawn their army. While they thought of this intheir heads, they all turned their gaze at Sabina. They assumed she must know where Rocky was.Upon noticing everyone's attention was on her, Sabina said coldly, "I don't know where he is." WhenRocky knew that she was Marcia's disciple, he had lost his temper and left. Since then, she hadn'tseen him, and it had been two days and one night. She had gone to the Isis Pavilion to look for him,only for Sue to tell her that she had not seen him anywhere around that area.

"Forget it. Ill go and look for him later.” Lance waved his hand, looked at Allen and continued,"Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. If it weren't for you, the Evian City might have lost this battle.”"I don't deserve all this credit. In fact, I should give my utmost thanks to the Commanders and theEvian City guards. Without them defending the city to the last extent and waiting until thereinforcements’ arrival, I wouldn't have been able to turn the tables regardless of my strength,”Allen said humbly.

"To be frank, this would have never happened if it weren't for Commander Rocky. We would havealready lost the Evian City without him,” Commander Wang added. "By the way, Commander inChief, this Crimson Dragon Token..." Afterwards, he took out the Crimson Dragon Token from hispocket and handed it to Lance with both of his hands.

"Hasn't Rocky accepted the Crimson Dragon Token?" Lance asked as he was shocked upon seeingthe Crimson Dragon Token.

"No. He hasn't." Commander Wang shook his head in disappointment.

Lance frowned, putting away the Crimson Dragon Token.

"But Commander in Chief, Rocky has made great contributions this time. Shouldn't you reward himwell and better?” Commander Ron suddenly asked out of concern.

"Of course I will!" Lance nodded his head. This time, he knew that Rocky had made greatcontributions not only to the Crimson Dragon Group, but also to the whole Holy Dragon Empire."But I'm afraid that he won't accept it. Don't forget that he has already said before that he helped usprotect the Evian City not for the sake of the Crimson Dragon Army, but because he didn't want tosee the Evian City citizens become poor and homeless. That was the only reason why he tookaction,” said Marin, as her eyes turned dark.

Upon hearing that, the other Commanders in the room looked at each other in dismay. After all,they were sure that they had heard Rocky say that before.

"Really? Did he say that?" Lance was surprised upon hearing how the conversation was going about."It just seems that he still hates me!" Lance understood that it was his mistake that made Rockydislike the Crimson Dragon Army in the first place.

"Although the Evian City is well guarded, the citizens had already fled from the city and slept on thedeserted land. Commander Wang, take some people out of the north gate immediately. If you needto, you can play gongs and drums along the way, telling the citizens to return to the city,” Lanceordered seriously.

"Yes," Commander Wang replied and left.

"Commander Lin, the city wall of the south gate has been destroyed. Summon your men and repairthe damages as soon as possible.

Commander Ron, you're in charge..."

Lance ordered each of his men as he made arrangements for the Evian City and the headquarters ofthe Crimson Dragon Group, and wrote a secret letter in person. Afterwards, he sent his people tosend the letter back to the Imperial City in the soonest possible time.

"Allen, stay. As for the others, you may leave now." Lance ordered others to leave, leaving Allenalone with him.

"Allen, I appreciate you coming all the way back this time. Thank you," Lance said kindly, as hethanked the man for his efforts.

"Commander in Chief, please don't say that. I am a member of the Crimson Dragon Group, and it ismy duty. When the Crimson Dragon Group is in trouble, I will go all out and help with everything Ican," said Allen wholeheartedly.

"I'm afraid that I have no choice but to trouble the Elite Regiment again in the following days,"Lance smiled and said.

"Commander in Chief, are you planning to use the power of the Elite Regiment to destroy theTimber Deity Empire?" Allen immediately asked as he had already speculated what Lance wasthinking.

"This war is about to come to an end. I might have underestimated Princess Alyssa from the TimberDeity Empire and their intentions in this war,” Lance said as he furrowed his brows.

"Their intentions?" Allen asked back upon hearing what Lance had just said.

"Yes, the reason why the Timber Deity Empire took great effort to start the war should be forsomething else. Although I don't know what their intentions are, but if we lose this war, the TimberDeity Empire might get what they want, which is why we should never, under any circumstance, letthem win this war,” Lance said with determination.

"I see. Commander in Chief, since you have already made up your mind, I shall immediately get allthe members of Elite Regiment back.” Nodding his head, Allen continued to ask, "Haven't Sheehanand several other members already returned to the headquarters? Do you know where they arenow?"

"Not long ago, some rare treasure appeared in the Myriad Beasts Ground, and I sent them to lookfor it. But according to the time, they should have been back by now. My only guess is that theycould probably still be at the Crimson Dragon Group's military camp in the Deity Unicorn Valley,”Lance replied.

"Well, in that case, I'll send a message to them and ask them to gather other members,” utteredAllen.

"Oh, and by the way, have you met Rocky?" Lance asked curiously.

"Yes, I have. In fact, he almost killed the prince of the Timber Deity Empire. Fortunately, I arrived justin time to stop him. Otherwise, the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire would have definitely burstinto anger. And this is not good for the Holy Dragon Empire. It will cause trouble, and even lead to alarger war,” Allen explained.

"In this case, you should at least catch the prince of the Timber Deity Empire first. Doing this mightalso increase our trump cards, and even win the war. You should know that since ancient times,catching the ringleader is the priority in order to capture all of his followers.” Confused, Lance madean effort to analyze the situation as he didn't understand why Allen had let the prince of the TimberDeity Empire go.

"The reinforcements that I brought at that time were not enough to completely suppress theremaining thousands of soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire. Perhaps if I caught the prince, it wouldbe able to force his soldiers to retreat. But if it were the opposite and his soldiers fought to thedeath, things would have become worse. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary injury, I allowedthe prince to retreat and bring the army with him,” Allen pointed out. In theory, even if he didn't killthe prince of the Timber Deity Empire at that moment, he should have caught the prince first. Buthe thought that the Timber Deity Empire still had nearly four thousand soldiers, which was why hedecided to let the prince go according to the chaotic situation at hand. Of course, if the prince ofthe Timber Deity Empire were to persist in willfully and arbitrarily, he would definitely not show anymercy. It could be said that he let go of the prince of the Timber Deity Empire only for the sake ofthe entire situation—he knew that he had to protect the Evian City first.

But in fact, Allen had another personal reason to let the prince of the Timber Deity Empire go. Threeyears ago, he had sneaked into the royal palace of the Timber Deity Empire for a mission in whichhe had been discovered after a while. He could have been able to escape with his strength, butunfortunately, he encountered a mysterious woman who was much stronger than him. He foughtwith the woman, but he sustained some serious injuries. However, that mysterious woman did notkill him, nor took him back for interrogation, but released him somehow. Later on, he knew that themysterious woman he met was none other than the princess of the Timber Deity Empire, Alyssa.
