Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 735 He Is Dead

"General Lance, if Commander in Chief Rocky had not disappeared, the rumor would naturally bescotched. However, it only seems probable that he has indeed betrayed our country and joined theTimber Deity Empire. If it weren't true, he would be standing here right now! If he really did submitto the Timber Deity Empire, it would be not easy to replace him. But now, the problem is, the news ofhis treachery has already spread rapidly throughout the Holy Dragon Empire that our otherneighboring countries may have already heard about it. If this is not taken care of immediately, itwill cause a riot. When that happens, the consequences will be very dire," Priest Dean said afterexchanging glances with Alston. He deliberately used a serious tone so that the emperor would bepersuaded to announce Rocky's treason as soon as possible.

Priest Dean had always gained the approval of most ministers in the Holy Dragon Empire. Rocky'streason had caused a great deal of impact on the country's reputation. If the rumors had proven tobe true, the whole empire would be greatly humiliated

"I agree with you, Priest Dean. It will be hard to deal with it once it gets serious,” said the emperorwith a nod. As the ruler of the Holy Dragon Empire, he had to ponder on the overall situation, lestunnecessary trouble would be caused.

At that moment, Isis could not help but bite her pink lips in worry. All of a sudden, she knelt downon the floor and said to the emperor fervently, "Your Majesty, my husband would never betray ourcountry. I can guarantee with my life that if it turns out that he did, I would be willing to take all thenecessary punishments for him and kill myself without any complaints.”

In the eyes of all the people present, Isis looked pitiful. In the past, she was known to have beencourted by many men from both the royal family and the noble clans. However, she turned all ofthem down for Rocky, who was essentially a person of no importance or authority. None of themhad expected that the ruthless Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group would bewilling to appeal to the emperor's mercy for a man. If her enemies saw her then, they would notbelieve their eyes.

The people were surprised to witness the extent of Isis’ love for Rocky. They were shocked to seethat a strong woman would become so vulnerable in order to defend her husband.

The emperor was taken aback by her pleading as well. He had witnessed Isis’ development frombeing a young girl to a woman, and had grown quite fond of her throughout the years. She wasdecisive, broad-minded, and benevolent. Therefore, if she dared to swear that Rocky was innocent, itmeant that she had the utmost faith in him. Of course, it might also be the reason why Isis hadtaken Rocky as her husband. At that moment, the courage that Isis displayed made the emperorwaver.

"Deputy Commander in Chief Isis, do not forget that your personal relation with Rocky should notcoincide with the affairs of the state. Do you have any solid evidence that can prove his innocence?Otherwise, you will lose your life,” Alston threatened Isis with his cold eyes.

To everyone's surprise, Allen and Marin, who were standing beside Isis, also fell to their knees."Your Majesty, I can also swear with my life that Commander in Chief Rocky will never betray us. Onthe contrary, in order to protect the Crimson Dragon Army, he even risked his own life to divert thearmy of the Timber Deity Empire.” Allen then revealed what happened after they were ambushed bythe Timber Deity Empire army due to the unexpected leak of intelligence.

His outpouring caused an uproar in the entire Grand Holy Hall.

"Are you telling the truth?" After listening to Allen's testimony, the emperor was almost convincedthat Rocky had not been disloyal to the Holy Dragon Empire. In fact, he had contributed significantlyon the prosperity and progressiveness of their country.

"Commander Marin and I pledge our lives to this cause,” Allen said calmly.

The emperor was inclined to believe Allen and Marin. In fact, Allen was a member of the Ji Clan whohad nothing to do with Rocky. Hence, lying about Rocky would not benefit him in any way.

"Your Majesty, this is the joint statement of the Crimson Dragon Group. All the members of theCrimson Dragon Group are willing to guarantee the innocence of Commander in Chief Rocky withtheir lives.” Lance went down on one knee and took out the scroll.

"What? Even the whole Crimson Dragon Group..." The emperor was speechless. He did not expectRocky to be known among the Crimson Dragon Group to an extent that the whole army was willingto testify for his irreproachable conduct.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate on the matter if you would allow it. For the meantime, Ihope you can rule this out as merely a hearsay,” Lance pleaded immediately.

"General Lance, you have to understand that the situation is a national scandal waiting to happen.Even if I declared the rumors to be false, people might think that we are trying to hide the truth. Ifyou truly believe that Rocky is innocent, I am allowing you to gather evidence to prove it," said theemperor sternly. In reality, he was in a quandary. If it weren't for the fact that Lance was one of theThree Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, he would have punished Rocky the moment heheard the news.

"Don't bother looking for proof.” A faint female voice suddenly echoed from outside the hall.Everyone in the hall turned their heads to look outside. Then, they saw Marcia marching towards theGrand Holy Hall. Her face was somber, as if she was in a sour mood. In addition, there was anotherwoman who walked behind her.

"Sabina?" Allen was the first to recognize the woman behind Marcia. Sabina had also been missingfor many days since then, just like Rocky.

Lance and Isis were thrilled to see Sabina. They believed that she was the only one who could provethat Rocky was innocent.

Isis stood up and rushed towards Sabina. She held her hands and asked anxiously, "Sabina, where isRocky? Why didn't he come with you?"

"Isis, please calm down and listen to me. Rocky...is already... dead.” Just when Sabina spoke, hervoice choked with sobs as she was gradually overcome with sadness.

"Dead? Rocky, the guy who had always escaped death, has actually died?" Marin could not believewhat she heard as she slowly began to sob too.

"What? No... That's impossible! How did he..." All of a sudden, Isis was at a loss for words. She stoodthere in a daze while her eyes started to fill with tears.

"He's dead?" Lance was shocked to his core.

When the ministers heard this, they were also quite surprised. The first controversial thing they hadrecently heard about Rocky was his treachery, but now he was also dead!

The emperor was dumbfounded in silence too.

“Damn it! How did Sabina know that Rocky was dead?" Alston thought to himself. He recalled thelast time he saw Rocky. “Rocky and Sabina weren't even together back then, and I thought she hadbeen sent to the camp of the Timber Deity Empire. So how did she know he was dead?"
