The Medallion novel Chapter 1552

Upon hearing Eunice's bold request, Tucker did not know whether to cry or to laugh. The war was not a game meant for children. The deputy commander was assigned to lead an army of three thousand soldiers, which meant whoever was appointed would be responsible for three thousand lives, which was a serious matter. Now that Eunice was demanding to be the deputy commander, it would be out of his control.

Besides, according to the rules, one commander could have only three deputy commanders under his command. All three of the positions were currently filled. If Eunice wanted to be one, then one of the three existing deputy commanders would have to be dismissed.

Except for Bertram, the other two deputy commanders wore a gloomy face. They looked at Tucker, hoping that the commander wouldn't agree to Eunice's rude request. Even though she was a powerful spirit warrior at the King Realm from the Sky-suppressing School, that wouldn’t secure her success in war. Being talented and leading an army weren't related. On the contrary, the two deputy commanders had endured through several hundreds of cruel battles and wars for over a decade. Both of them possessed richer experience in terms of leading an army towards battle than a young woman.

"Eunice, stop fooling around. You don’t have any experience leading troops to battle. Being a deputy commander means shouldering heavy responsibilities..." Rocky immediately intervened

"Haha! Eunice, you're quite straightforward. It’s not impossible for you to be a deputy commander. But according to military regulations, if one wants to be a deputy commander, he or she must earn at least three third-class merits and two second-class merits. As long as you accomplish that, I will immediately promote you to the position," said Tucker. He was a sly fox that knew how to deal with tricky situations.

"It's a deal then, Commander Wang. You promised me this so don’t go back on your word later!" Eunice said confidently with a naughty blink.

"Of course I'll keep my word," Tucker replied with a nod. Then he continued, "How about this? You two can lead the spirit warriors under Deputy Commander Ma and Deputy Commander Lin." Then he turned to the two deputy commanders beside him.

"Eunice, you can join my army," Deputy Commander Lin said. He knew that if a beautiful warrior like Eunice joined his army, it would greatly boost the morale of his troops.

"Why should you join his army? Eunice, I think you would be more suited to join my ranks. After all, I am leading the spearhead. I’m sure that you're eager to charge towards the enemy, seeing as to how you're the heroine and all," Deputy Commander Ma said firmly. He would never allow Deputy Commander Lin to take this opportunity from him.

"Is your army the spearhead? If so, then I think it does suit me better. I'll join you and your troops," Eunice said. She liked what Deputy Commander Ma told her and made her choice immediately.

Deputy Commander Lin's expression darkened, but he knew there was nothing he could do to change her mind.

"Then I'll head over to your army, Deputy Commander Lin. I’m looking forward to it!" Rocky exclaimed as he clasped his hands in front of him out of respect.

Deputy Commander Lin merely replied with a wry smile.

Elliot didn't want to suffer for nothing so he quickly stood up and asked aloud, "Uncle, you must punish him for what he did to me! He beat me up!" He shot Rocky a venomous glare.

"Basil, is what he said true? Or is there a misunderstanding?" Tucker frowned and asked Rocky after a moment’s hesitation.

"Yes, I did hurt him," Rocky answered immediately.

"Is there any reason for you doing this?" Tucker probed further. In fact, he didn't expect Rocky to answer the question so directly as if he wasn't afraid that the commander would avenge his nephew on the pretext of public interests. He was quite surprised.

"He's your nephew so I’m sure you're aware of what kind of person he is. All I can say is that if it happens again, I'd do the same thing all over again," Rocky replied arrogantly.

Tucker was momentarily stunned by Rocky’s words. He immediately realized that Elliot must've offended Rocky tremendously, otherwise the latter wouldn't have made his statement. He gave Elliot a stern glare before he commanded, "Elliot, what are you waiting for? Apologize to him!"
