The Medallion novel Chapter 1117

"Did you tell General Marcia about this?" As Bryant studied Rocky, he could not help but praise the prince internally. Rocky was so much younger than him, and yet, he always showed great courage no matter the circumstance. Suddenly, he felt ashamed of his inferiority.

"She will never agree, so I want to ask you for a favor, Chief Bryant. When the time comes..." Rocky leaned closer to him and whispered the details secretively.

As he listened, the frown on Bryant's face grew bigger and bigger. He hesitated for a short while, but he nodded his permission in the end because the prince had made this plan and he had no reason to object. As a loyal courtier of the Holy Dragon Empire, he naturally had to protect the emperor.

Seeing that Bryant was receptive to his wishes, Rocky smiled gratefully at him. "Thank you, Chief Bryant."

"Prince Basil, if you are lucky enough to get through this safe and sound, and if one day you can ascend the throne, you can count on my support and the support of the Ximen Clan," Bryant promised as he patted Rocky on his shoulder with his thick and sturdy palm. In his mind, Rocky had shown that he truly deserved to be admired. He had exhibited the character of a great leader, and as a prince, he always took the lead in dealing with any difficult tasks. In a word, he was exemplary.

"Well, we'll talk about that later. But still, thank you," Rocky said calmly, as he turned away.

Soon, the sun fell from its perch in the sky, covering the whole land in darkness.

The rescue team set out as soon as the night fell, and went to where they suspected that the emperor was imprisoned. Marcia took the lead, so their journey went smoothly, but they still had to be careful. The supernatural beasts dared not step into the Dragon Master Clan's territory, but they could not let their guard down as the danger was around them. If their whereabouts were exposed, the entire Dragon Master Clan could surround them in an instant.

About two hours later, after circling half of the Dragon Master Clan's territory, the rescue team finally arrived outside a valley. The entrance to the valley was in the shape of a very steep slope, and they could see faint lights flashing inside.

"General Marcia, what is this place?" Rocky asked, studying the valley curiously.

"This is the Dead Valley of the Dragon Master Clan, a place where they imprison those who have offended the Dragon Master Clan, or have violated their taboos. Moreover, once they enter this valley, they will not be able to leave for the rest of their lives, so most of the people who have entered here die inside." Marcia's face changed slightly. It seemed that the mention of the Dead Valley also reminded her of some painful memories.

"Is my father locked inside?" Rocky asked softly, and his voice betrayed the youth he still held, which was made more obvious now that his father was in danger.

Marcia hesitated to answer, which was already an answer in itself. "I'm not sure, but it's highly possible."

"Well, let's get ready to move." Rocky nodded at her one last time before he turned to the others. Soon, they were preoccupied with planning what they were going to do once they entered the prison.

Rocky and his companions observed that there were more than thirty spiritual slaves, and more than five ordinary spiritual beings guarding the valley. They didn't know where the emperor was locked up, so it would be challenging to find and save him, not to mention the powerful guards that were waiting for them.

"First, we need to distract those spiritual slaves. Then, Chief Bryant and I will deal with the rest of the ordinary spiritual beings," Marcia said, sharing her plan with the group.

"Let me serve as the distraction for those spiritual slaves. Then, Master and Sabina, you two will go separately and look for the emperor," Rocky added after thinking for a while.

Sheridan shook his head in disagreement at Rocky's plan, as a stern expression cast shadows on his face. It was rare for him to be so serious. "I think Rocky will be our best bet for rescuing the emperor. On the other hand, the three girls and I will serve as a distraction for those spiritual slaves. If you find the emperor, you can take him away first while we take care of the rest."

"But..." Rocky was hesitant to agree because he knew that it was a very dangerous task. There were a lot of spiritual slaves, so he didn't want Sheridan and Sabina to take the risk.
