CHAPTER 404 A NEW POSITION

Everyone in the tent was taken aback when they turned to see where a certain sound came from. The

person who entered was no other than Rocky, the man who saved the Wild Heaven Pass from danger

before disappearing for a few days.

Once they recognized Rocky, everyone seemed to have mixed reactions. Admiration, disbelief and

even shocked expressions were scribbled across their faces. Some of them even seemed to be jealous

of him. A bitter expression, meanwhile, was coming from a certain person called Flank. Rocky had

taught him quite a lesson lately.

Flank was badly injured by Rocky in that fight and had to lie in bed for a few days before he made a full

recovery. When Flank saw Rocky, he looked at him with rage-filled eyes, as if he saw a murderer who

had killed his father.

However, when Flank accidentally met Rocky's eyes, a chill immediately ran down his spine. It seemed

that Frank was subconsciously afraid of Rocky. He still had no idea how Rocky was able to beat him

last time. To his knowledge, he knew Rocky could not be that strong. Such a powerful attack was

possibly at the Heavenly Stage. Of course, Flank would never believe that Rocky had already reached

that level.

"You finally came," Isis said as she shot a cold look at Rocky. She couldn't help but let her gaze linger

on him for a while.

If not for Rocky, she would have lost the Wild Heaven Pass. She would have drowned in guilt if that

had happened. After all, it was her mistake that the Crimson Dragon Army suffered a huge loss of the

thirty-thousand main force and had been pushed to a corner. In other words, Rocky not only saved the

Crimson Dragon Army, but also fixed her mistake. So she should actually be grateful to Rocky.

However, whenever she'd like to thank him, her words never seemed to come out.

"Ha-ha! How could I not? The Commander-in-Chief still owes me something," Rocky joked as he

walked to Lance under the careful gaze of the others. He then asked directly, "Commander in Chief,

you will keep your word, right? Can I get the reward you promised me?"

Lance nodded and then took out a Dark Heaven Egg. It was about the size of a palm. The Dark

Heaven Egg was gleaming with faint light as if was a black pearl. As soon as one laid eyes on the egg,

they could feel the strong spiritual power radiating from it.

"This is a top Dark Heaven Egg!" exclaimed an Elite Commander, whose jaw almost fell to the floor.

It was the first time for most of the commanders to see a top Dark Heaven Egg, which was few and far

between. It was a superior treasure suitable for a Heavenly Stage spirit manipulator's cultivation.

Hearing the Elite Commander, the other commanders stared at the egg with awe. They couldn't help

but feel jealous of Rocky, even thinking that Rocky didn't deserve such a precious treasure. 'Come on!

He saved the Wild Heaven Pass, and so what? Big deal!'

"Wow! How fancy!" Rocky's eyes lit up since it was also his first time to see a top Dark Heaven Egg.

"Thank you so much, Commander in Chief!" Rocky said happily as he bowed and stretched out his

hands.

However, Lance didn't put the Dark Heaven Egg into Rocky's hands. Instead, he turned to the

commanders. "Other than Rocky, Isis and Commander Marin, the others can leave now. Dismissed!"

The commanders looked at each with confused expressions. They stole greedy glances at the top Dark

Heaven Egg in Lance's hand before leaving.

A few moments later, Lance, Rocky, Isis and Marin were the only ones left behind in the tent.

"I have something to tell you before giving away this top Dark Heaven Egg." Seeing that the

commanders had already left, Lance shot a serious look towards Rocky.

"What is it about, Commander in Chief?" Rocky wondered, 'Does Lance want to bring up the offer

again? Damn it! What excuse can I use this time to refuse to be a Frontline Commander?'

"This time the Crimson Dragon Army can successfully drive away the enemy and defend the Wild

Heaven Pass and the Loyal Dragon Pass, you deserve credit for all of that. If we had lost the Wild

Heaven Pass, we would have fallen into a deeper plight. Now that you have fulfilled your promise to

protect the Wild Heaven Pass from danger, of course I will keep my word and give you this top Dark

Heaven Egg," Lance spoke up with a solemn expression.

"What's your point, Commander in Chief?" Rocky could tell that there was something hidden behind

Lance's words.

"I, Lance Liu, am a man who cherishes talents. If you can stay and work for the Crimson Dragon Army,

I will give you whatever you want." Lance's eyes flashed with an appreciative expression towards

Rocky. He seemed to be deeply in awe of Rocky's brilliance.

"Father!" Even Isis was taken aback by what Lance had just said. It was her first time to see her father

intend to do everything to have a man as his helper.

As the word just left Isis' mouth, Lance shook his head, gesturing for her to keep silent.

"If what Commander in Chief wants is to offer me the position as a Frontline Commander, then I'll have

to refuse again. Sorry, I really have no interest in that! I have my own business to take care of, so I

have no time to spare for the Crimson Dragon Army." Rocky chose to speak his mind. The position as a

Frontline Commander was not attractive to him at all. He only had interest in the power of the Crimson

Dragon Group.

"Well, that's not what I want to say. Actually, I can understand why you refused that offer previously.

How about this? I'll set up a new position for you. We can call it Crimson Dragon General. The main job

is to solve tricky troubles and problems for the Crimson Dragon Group, and there will be no rules or

restraints for that said position. What you need to do is to simply protect the Crimson Dragon Group

from danger whenever trouble arises. This position is as high as the Deputy Commander in Chief.

Furthermore, this special position will be confidential. Only the four of us know about this." Lance

handed an olive branch to Rocky.

"So, Crimson Dragon General?" Rocky never expected that Lance would put forward such a tempting Content held by .

offer.

"Here is the Crimson Dragon Token. So long as you have this, you will have the same power as the

Deputy Commander in Chief and will gain the right to lead thirty thousand soldiers. You will only report

to me, the Commander in Chief. Apart from me, there is only Isis who possesses the Crimson Dragon

Token in the entire military camp. If you agree to assume the Crimson Dragon General position, then

this Crimson Dragon Token will be yours. In other words, you will possess the power to lead the

Crimson Dragon Army." Lance took out a crimson token where an incredible red dragon with four claws

was clearly engraved.

Rocky was collecting his thoughts after hearing Lance. According to Lance, the Crimson Dragon

General was just as powerful as Isis and had the right to lead thirty thousand soldiers. If he accepted

this offer, he would be superior to everyone else in the Crimson Dragon Group except Isis and Lance.

That was extremely close to his target. Yet, he would still be an insignificant member in public since the

Crimson Dragon General was a confidential position. If Lance didn't come up with that, Rocky would be

nothing. That meant Lance didn't trust Rocky completely. But because of Rocky's real identity, Lance

believed that Rocky would never betray the Holy Dragon Empire and set up this special position

specialized for him. That was the best Lance could do for Rocky, and Rocky could tell about that.
