Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 674 Mixed Emotions

After going through a long and difficult journey, Laney, the emissary of the Timber Deity Empire,arrived at the military camp of the Roaring Flame Empire. She then settled on the left defense line ofthe Timber Deity Empire.

When Laney got off the carriage, a valiant and fearless looking man stepped forward to greet her."Commander-in-chief Leo.” Laney recognized the man right away. With her hands folded in front ofher, she bent her knees and bowed to him in respect.

"You must be the famous Miss Laney.” The moment Blood Lord Leo saw Laney, his eyes lit up and ablush of red colored his cheeks. He was a ladies’ man, and Laney's presence took his breath away."Friends told me that Miss Laney from the Timber Deity Empire is a beautiful lady with great musicalskills. Now that I met you, I could say that you really deserve the reputation. You're truly beautiful,Miss Laney!"

"Commander in Chief, thank you so much! I am very flattered!" Laney's beautiful eyes sparkled asshe smiled. Her smiling face and kind words delighted Blood Lord Leo to no end, and he could notstop looking at her.

"I have arranged a banquet for you. Miss Laney, this way, please.” Blood Lord Leo led the way andgestured for her to follow.

Laney nodded softly and followed him with a smile on her face. The attention warmed her heart,and she was excited to see what they had prepared for her.

Blood Lord Leo and Laney walked into a bright tent. It was surrounded by fresh flowers and longtables filled with excellent wines and generous servings of food.

"Forgive us, if this is the most that we could offer to welcome the beautiful Miss Laney. You knowthat we are located at the outermost edge, and in this area enjoyable things are hard to come by.Please take a seat and enjoy the food that our people had prepared for you." Blood Lord Leo bowedhis head as he finished his emotional welcome speech for Laney. He then sat down and gesturedher to sit.

"You are so kind, Commander in Chief. I am just a humble envoy. You don't have to treat me likethis," Laney said with a polite smile as she sat down.

"Miss Laney, you are the most cherished person of Princess Alyssa. You deserve every honor andrespect,” Blood Lord Leo replied.

Laney smiled to herself, flattered with the commander's words. She then picked up the wine pot,filled the glass in front of Blood Lord Leo, and then poured wine for herself. She raised the glass infront of her and said, "On behalf of our princess, I salute and thank you Commander in Chief."Without another word, Laney finished the wine on her glass.

"Ha-ha! I did not expect Miss Laney to be so bold and outspoken.” Blood Lord Leo also finished uphis wine.

"This one is my personal toast for Commander in Chief." Laney poured another glass and gulpeddown the wine from her glass.

"You are a much stronger drinker than me, Miss Laney!" Blood Lord Leo clapped his hands andshouted.

"This third toast is to wish you a wonderful fortune and that you win the war with the CrimsonDragon Army, Commander in Chief,” Laney declared as she raised her third glass of wine.

"Thank you, Miss Laney. To be honest, I am ready to launch a powerful attack against the CrimsonDragon Army tomorrow. They are so arrogant and they already declared that they will defeat us inthis war. They made us lose twenty thousand forces with their petty tricks, and that's all. It'sridiculous for them to even think they would win!" Blood Lord Leo said arrogantly, but his voicefaltered. His heart filled with fear and apprehension.

"That is why the princess sent me this time. She wanted me to help you defeat the Crimson DragonArmy. Would you please be interested to hear my advice?” Laney said. Her voice was reassuring, andit filled her eyes with seductive charm and enchantment.

Blood Lord Leo smiled mischievously as he gazed at the voluptuous figure of Laney secretly. Hethen asked, "And what is your advice, my lady Laney?"

"When I went on an undercover mission in Evian City, I dealt several times with this man namedRocky. He is still very young, but don't be deceived by his appearance. He is very powerful andambitious. You must already be aware of it, Commander in Chief," Laney said with a slight frown."Well, I was careless. I will never make the same mistake again!" The recent battle with Rocky causedgreat shame for Blood Lord Leo.

"Certainly, I believe that you fell for his trick unintentionally last time. That poor Rocky is no matchfor you, Commander in Chief," Laney said as she tried to flatter Blood Lord Leo.

He chuckled when he heard Laney's words

"I believe Rocky will take advantage of your desire to seek vengeance and will use it to set a trapagain. If I were you, I would keep an eye on him and be on the alert to figure out his next move.Until then, take no action, and just wait for the right time.” Laney's tone of voice changed as shetried to convince Blood Lord Leo.

"That sounds reasonable, Miss Laney. You're a genius on military strategy. Quite unexpected!" BloodLord Leo thought about it and soon seemed to agree with Laney.

"It is just my humble opinion, Commander in Chief. Of course, the ultimate strategy is still up toyou," Laney said bashfully, careful not to push him.

"Okay, I will take your advice and grant the Crimson Dragon Army a few more days to prepare. Let'ssee what they are up to this time," Blood Lord Leo replied with a laugh after a moment of hesitation."Commander in Chief, you do have a gift of high intelligence! I really admire you. I would like topropose another toast to you!" Laney raised her glass.

It was at this moment that Blood Lord Leo held her hand in midair and said with a malicious smile,"It's a long night. It will only bore you if the two of us will just drink.”

"You are pretty straightforward, Commander in Chief. But, I shall say that I am the follower ofPrincess Alyssa. I will need a little respect,” Laney said calmly, even if deep down she was a littlefrightened by his behavior.

"Forgive me. You are so brilliant and beautiful, I could not help myself." Despite his apologies, BloodLord Leo continued with his shameless behavior. He gently stroked Laney's delicate hand when hesaw that Laney was hesitant to turn him down.

"Commander in Chief, if you really adore me, why don't you show some respect and sincerity? I alsodo admire you, Commander in Chief.” Laney let out a meaningful smile which made him stop.

"Of course! Please tell me what kind of sincerity do you want, my lady Laney?" Blood Lord Leoasked, excited to return the favor.

"Well, if you will help the Timber Deity Empire defeat the Crimson Dragon Army this time, PrincessAlyssa will definitely satisfy all your needs.” Laney then stood up, curtsied and excused herself, "I'm abit tired. I shall go back and rest.” Then she left the tent hurriedly.

"You will be mine someday! That Crimson Dragon Army, and that idiot Rocky! They will soon die inmy hands. If that happens, you woman will be mine.” Blood Lord Leo convinced himself as hewatched Laney disappear. With a furious look on his face, he squeezed the glass until smoke cameout.

Laney, who was now out of the tent, looked back and shook her head in disgust. "I thought BloodLord Leo was an amazing man. It turned out that he is just an old skirt-chaser. I could not rely onsuch people. I don't even think he was half as good as that Rocky. No wonder he suffered a crushingdefeat the last time!

This trip is in vain! Maybe I should just take this chance to meet that Rocky and settle our mattersbefore I leave.” Hatred filled Laney's heart at the thought of Rocky. She clenched her fists as shetried to get hold of her anger.

The following day, Blood Lord Leo took Laney's advice and stopped the attack preparation forCrimson Dragon Army. He asked his army to return to the left wing of the defensive line and to holdtheir position there. Rocky became curious and felt annoyed when he learned about the news. Butwhat made him more annoyed was the news sent by Allen.

"The emissary of the Timber Deity Empire is someone called Laney?" Rocky was surprised when heheard the name "Laney" and frowned for a while.

"That name sounds so familiar. I'm sure this was not the first time that I heard that name!" Isis couldnot remember where and when she heard this name, but it did sound very familiar.

"She used to be the belle of the Geisha House in Evian City, and she was very famous then. Severalcommanders from our Crimson Dragon Group were her guests. But she also has an undercoveridentity. She is a spy of the Timber Deity Empire,” Rocky explained as he tried to calm himself. Hedid not tell anyone about Laney, because he never had the reason to tell anyone about her. Also, hehad a strange relationship with Laney, which made things very complicated.

Allen and Isis stood in amazement as Rocky explained everything to them.
