The Medallion novel Chapter 1559

"Judging by the look of their corpses, they must have been ambushed before the enemies killed them. However, I only see a few dozen of them. That must mean that this isn't the place where they were ambushed." Rocky determined after stepping onto the battlefield and analyzing the situation. After all, he was familiar with those types of things. He had risked his life on the battlefield many times in the past.

"Captain Basil, how did you make such a detailed analysis? It doesn't look like you are a green hand!" Kye said in a sarcastic voice.

"That's funny. I don't recall mentioning I was a green hand," Rocky replied, raising his eyebrows and smiling.

"Aren't you a green hand?" Kye asked.

"So far, I have killed more people on the battlefield than the total amount of people you all have killed. There are some things that can't be seen from the surface and that only limits your thinking on the battlefield. In fact, there are clues left behind by Deputy Commander Ma and the others on these corpses, which I'm sure you haven't even noticed..." Rocky said meaningfully, glancing down at the bodies.

A look of shock plastered onto Kye's face as he heard that. He and the other team members bent over and looked at the corpses carefully, but they couldn't see anything of importance.

"Don't waste your time looking for the clues. You won't be able to decipher them. After all, if you were all able to find the clues, the enemies could too..." As soon as Rocky finished speaking, he walked over to one of the corpses and ripped off a piece of his clothing.

"We can't find the clues using our eyes. We have to smell them. Unfortunately, these corpses' clothing smells of grass and leaves, which indicates that they have been somewhere with this kind of vegetation for a long time. It would take longer to remove the smell," Rocky explained.

Every team member but Kye looked at Rocky with admiration. None of them had thought that Rocky was so experienced.

"So what if we know how these leaves smelled? We didn't bring any special beasts for searching. Are you going to search for it on your own?" Kye said sarcastically.

"I will not. And no ordinary beast will be good enough. We need to use my Kohen." Not stopping to argue with Kye, Rocky summoned Kohen from the Magic Spiritual Space.

Kye's and the other team members' eyes opened wide when a beast the size of a squirrel appeared before their eyes. What was most unusual about it was its strong aura. It was powerful for its size.

Next, Rocky handed the clothes he held to Kohen and let it smell them. Kohen immediately turned to face one direction.

"This way!" Rocky said to Kye and others.

Then, the team moved forward.

While they followed Kohen, Rocky and his companions saw some human soldier corpses from time to time. However, apart from the human corpses, they didn't see any spiritual solider corpses. Logically speaking, when two armies fought, there must be casualties on both sides. It was impossible for only the human soldiers to have died. None of them could understand it.

After walking for about half a day, they passed through a vine forest and stumbled upon a mountain of corpses. There were at least a thousand of them and they all belonged to human soldiers. In fact, some of them were spirit warriors.

"It's true. They were under the command of Deputy Commander Ma..." one of the spirit warriors said, still staring at the corpses with melancholy swimming in his eyes.

"This must be the place where they were ambushed." As Rocky looked around, he continued, "How many soldiers did Deputy Commander Ma take to the patrol this time?"

"About two thousand of them."

"Well, it looks like the ambush killed or injured over half of them. And there were more casualties when they tried to resist the enemies. I'm afraid there will only be a few that are still alive." Rocky frowned.

"But why are there no enemy corpses here?" Kye asked immediately.
