The Medallion novel Chapter 1359

Although Marcia and Bryant had gathered many times to discuss countermeasures, they still couldn't find a solution. What compounded their worries was that there was no news about Rocky. They could only consolidate their existing battle line and wait and see.

On the other hand, Alston was delighted as they had blocked the attacks of the three groups of United Army and gained control of several empires in succession. To commemorate their success and pay tribute to Alyssa, who was responsible for this triumphant moment, he held a banquet in the Spiritual King Hall.

"Commander in Chief, this toast is for you!" Alston flashed Alyssa a dazzling smile, but greed and ambition glimmered in his eyes.

"You are too kind, Your Majesty." Alyssa raised her glass and drank from it.

"Commander in Chief, you are indeed a genius in military strategy and tactics. You defeated the three United Army groups on your own," praised Dean.

"It wasn't as challenging as it appears. Even though the United Army are led by two big shots, Marcia and Bryant, it was easy to spot their weaknesses," Alyssa replied calmly.

"Weaknesses?" Alston seemed intrigued by the topic.

"Although there are more soldiers in the United Army, this war is not a battle between humans. Our most significant advantage is that Your Majesty leads the spiritual race beings. The spiritual race beings not only have powerful abilities, but also have strong mobility. As long as we make fair use of their strengths, we can easily defeat the United Army," Alyssa explained.

"But your strategy also played a critical role, Commander in Chief. Otherwise, how else could the United Army take advantage of us earlier?" Alston smiled shrewdly.

"By the way, Your Majesty, you agree with the terms I mentioned before, right?" Alyssa asked coldly.

The smile on Alston's face disappeared at the reminder. He knew that Alyssa wanted him to hand over command of all his forces to her. Of course, it was a risky move. He was aware that it would be extremely dangerous if Alyssa had any hidden agenda that was not favorable to him. However, if he refused her, the repercussions would be disastrous. Considering their current situation, without Alyssa, the spiritual race would not have their advantage in battle.

"Your Majesty, by killing Lance, Commander in Chief Alyssa has demonstrated that she is loyal to you." Dean cupped his hands as he voiced his opinion.

"I agree, but trust is not as easily earned when the stakes are high. How can I completely trust you, Princess Alyssa?" Alston hesitated, but a hint of slyness flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it," Alyssa became impatient. It was almost as if she had read Alston's thoughts and knew that he wanted to use her for his selfish needs.

"Let me get straight to the point then. Although you killed Lance, it's not enough for me to trust you completely. That being said, if you did something more devastating to Basil..." Alston suggested with a sinister smile.

"What do you want me to do?" Alyssa asked calmly.

"Everyone knows that Basil's love for Lena exceeds his fondness for Isis and his child. But Lena belongs to me. Only I deserve her. Odiously, Basil took Lena from me and hid her. I have exhausted all my strength and resources in my search, but I still haven't found her. Now I believe that you can do that for me." Alston finally revealed his purpose.

"So you want me to bring Lena back?" Alyssa questioned, even though she understood what he meant.

"Yes, return her to me. It is the only way that I will believe that you are loyal to me. I will not only give you the command of all the human armies, but I will also give you the right to mobilize the Glory Army..." Alston tempted her. Silence descended in the Spiritual King Hall as everyone present waited with bated breaths for Alyssa's response.
