Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

Rocky soon realized that Isis only asked about his age to divert his attention, attempting to stop him from sulking with his brooding eyes. Although it looked a little clumsy, her sweet gesture definitely moved him.

After a few hours of riding on Uriah, the two of them finally arrived at the main camp of the front line. As soon as they got off Uriah, a guard approached and greeted them, "Greetings, Commander in Chief Rocky and Deputy Commander in Chief Isis. His Royal Highness and Commander in Chief Lance have been waiting for you in the tent."

"Let's go." Rocky nodded at Isis and then strode forward. Although a fierce storm would come his way, he still appeared calm and collected.

Upon arriving inside the tent, they caught sight of Lance, Alston, and several Elite Commanders of the Crimson Dragon Army. Apparently, Alston was going to dominate this meeting.

The moment Rocky set foot inside the tent, Alston's eyes turned sharp, like two daggers aiming at him. Although Rocky had physically changed a lot, there was no way Alston couldn't recognize him at first sight.

As for Rocky, he had mixed feelings about this. Although they had different mothers, the two were half-brothers by blood. And yet, Alston still had set up a trap to frame him shamelessly. No matter how angry and vengeful Rocky was, at this moment, he chose to calm down. After all, he couldn't act on impulse. Much to Rocky's expectation, Alston was nowhere near surprise to see him. This only meant that Alston must be fully aware of his identity and prepared to take him down. Although quite alarmed, Rocky knew better than to act recklessly at this point.

However, as soon as their eyes met, sparks instantly flew out, as if the two distinct forces collided violently. The atmosphere inside the tent seemed to gradually turn dark with the two of them exuding dominant and regal auras that could only be carried by royalties.

Everyone else inside felt slightly intimidated––even Lance, who was familiar with the two, was utterly silent. In their eyes, the

nted Rocky to die, the latter wouldn't survive a second.

But of course, Alston wouldn't just recklessly kill Rocky out in the open. He was Lance's son-in-law and the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group. If he died unexpectedly, the morale of the entire army would suffer significantly. The Crimson Dragon Group was currently in a war with the Timber Deity Empire, and if the Commander in Chief died, it would turn battle around, with the enemy possibly taking advantage of it. Although he wanted to kill Rocky as soon as he could, he couldn't risk it and let the Timber Deity Empire take this opportunity to threaten the Holy Dragon Empire. Therefore, Alston was more than eager to defeat the Timber Deity Empire and utterly make Rocky disappear from the world. This way, he'd practically hit two birds with one stone––gaining the support of his people and eliminating the imposing threat to him.

However, much to Alston's bewilderment, Rocky had always been aware of his plan. Although the time was yet to be set, Rocky knew that an unavoidable fight was destined to befall on them. And fighting a conniving and scheming influential man like Alston would definitely not be a child's play.

Yet, no matter what tricks Alston had up his sleeves, Rocky would find a way to get even with him, making sure that the former got a taste of his own medicine.
