Chapter 632 The Orders Of The New Commander In Chief
Before, the Commanders had been quite puzzled when they learned that Rocky would take over
Lance''s position as the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army. Although Rocky had made a
lot of contributions to the army, he was still too young to be appointed as the Commander in Chief.
They all felt that he couldn''t assume the responsibility that came with the position.
However, their views against him changed tremendously when they saw his demeanor. Anyway, Rocky
was now Lance''s son-inw. In the whole Crimson Dragon Army, other than Isis, only Rocky was
qualified to take over the position of Commander in Chief. Therefore, even if themanders had any
doubt, they would not disy it in public.
After Rocky married Isis, he was immediately appointed as the Commander in Chief. Of course, due to
that, there were indeed many rumors about him. People thought that the reason why he married Isis
was for the sake of his future career. There were even rumors that he had nned everything at the
very beginning, and all his previous disy of noble traits were just a ploy to win over the top post in
the army.
But the fact was, if Rocky was really too weak to be the leader, Lance would not have allowed him to
take over the position. After all, he was not stupid and wouldn''t have ced the future of the Crimson
Dragon Army to someone immature and maniptive.
Rocky had already anticipated the resistance he would face after he took office. He knew that his every
move and decision would definitely be questioned. Hence, he naturally wanted to develop his own
force and exclude the people who opposed him. In this way, he would be able to strengthen his position
within the Crimson Dragon Army.
That was also the reason why he called all themanders to his tent as soon as he arrived.
As soon as Rocky entered the tent, he took his seat. He said to themanders standing around him,
"Please have a seat. We are going to have a long talk today."
Hearing that, all themanders looked at each other uneasily, not knowing what the meeting was all
about.
"Whichmander can tell me how many soldiers, spirit maniptors, and spirit-manipted beasts
there are in the main camp?" asked Rocky after ncing at themanders.
Themanders exchanged a nce with each other, and then one Frontline Commander stood up
and said, "Commander in Chief, the number of our soldiers is nearly fifty thousand, and there are more
than fifty spirit maniptors in the main camp. As for the spirit-manipted beasts, we have no
statistics yet..."
"Nearly fifty thousand soldiers? More than fifty spirit maniptors? And you do not know how many
spirit-manipted beasts there are in the camp?" Rocky''s eyes narrowed. He then continued, "How
many soldiers, spirit maniptors and spirit-manipted beasts do you have at yourmand?"
"Well..." All themanders were stunned, but nobody said anything for a long time.
"Is there nomander who can urately tell me the correct number under hismander?"
questioned Rocky.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Themanders lowered their heads. They hadn''t fought for a long time, so they seldom asked about
anything rted to the military matters. After all, those affairs were assigned to the specialists in the
army. Unless their attention was required, they seldom cared about such insignificant matters.
"Commander in Chief, we will ask the people responsible for taking care of these matters report to you
all the information you require. Why are you trying to embarrass us by asking us such trivial matters?"
a Frontline Commanderined. He thought Rocky was deliberately making things difficult for
them.
"Embarrass you? As themanders, you don''t even know how many soldiers you have. How can you
say that I am trying to embarrass you? You are very much capable of doing that on your own. Okay, let
me ask you a question. Presumably, in a battle, the ck Army has two thousand soldiers, while the
White Army has one thousand and five hundred soldiers. However, the two sides have the same
number of spirit maniptors and spirit-manipted beasts. In the middle of the battle, the ck Army
has seven soldiers left, while the White Army has five left. By the end of the battle, the White Army has
one left, but the ck Army has been annihted. Who can tell me how the White Army turns its defeat
into a victory?" asked Rocky, staring at themanders with cold eyes.
Hearing the question, themanders whispered to each other and started discussing about it.
"Is it because the White Army, despite their disadvantages, uses some trick and ambushes the ck
Army?"
"Or the White Army is more valiant and their soldiers'' morale is high. So, they have the upper hand!"
"It is also possible that the White Army has an excellent defense nned and this is why they are able
to defeat the ck Army."
"It seems that all of you think the White Army is the disadvantaged party, so they cut off all means of
retreat to win this battle. But you are all wrong. From the very beginning, the ck Army is doomed to
lose. The truth is that the White Army has made a n from the beginning. It uses ordinary soldiers to
consume the main force of the ck Army, including the limited spirit maniptors and the spirit-
manipted beasts. Therefore, in the middle of the battle, although the ck Army has two more
people, it has fewer spirit maniptors and spirit-manipted beast than the White Army. You should
know that the physical strength of spirit maniptors and spirit-manipted beasts is far better than
ordinary soldiers'', so they can hold on longer in a battle. However, ordinary soldiers can''t do the same.
This is why the ck Army''s soldiers are easily exhausted. Therefore, the White Army wins the battle
in the end," Rocky exined seriously.
All themanders were shocked, because they did not expect that the White Army had actually
nned everything from the very beginning.
"I set such an example to tell you that all of you are the ck Army. As your forces are stronger than
the White Army, you take it for granted that you can defeat the White Army. But you don''t pay heed to
the loss that your forces suffer in the process of the war. You also don''t see how this impacts the
bnce of the main force and eventually the whole force. If amander can''t see this, then he is
destined to lose the battle even before the battle starts!" said Rocky with a serious look on his face.
Hearing this, all themanders were speechless.
"All of you shall report to me about the numbers of your own soldiers, the spirit maniptors and the
spirit-manipted beasts in detail tomorrow. I also want a report on all the casualties in every battle.
Thismand applies to the three Elite Commanders also..." Rocky ordered solemnly.
All themanders nodded with gloomy faces.
"From today on, all themanders in the main camp must have dinners with the soldiers," Rocky
continued with his orders.
The faces of all themanders turned ghastly pale. As the catering offered to themanders was
better than that of the ordinary soldiers, which included wine and meat, while the ordinary soldiers
could only have simple meals. Hence, it was quite difficult for them, who had been ustomed to wine
and meat, to have simple meals. They felt that such an order was equal to killing them.
"Commander in Chief, it would be going too far if we were to have dinners with the soldiers. After all,
we aremanders, while they..." an Elite Commanderined.
"What about them? You are human. Aren''t they human too? Compared to youmanders, the
soldiers actually decide the results in the real battlefield. In the battlefield, you just need tomand
them. But they have to fight with their flesh and blood. And what do they eatpared to you?"
questioned Rocky.
Themanders were dumbfounded by what Rocky said, as if everything they said was in the wrong.
