The Medallion novel Chapter 1576

"If you trust me, you won’t have to worry about fighting the spiritual beasts, Commander Ling. If the spiritual race decides to attack the camp, you just need to follow the usual strategy," Rocky said calmly.

"But how are we going to deal with the spiritual beasts?" Commander Ling asked, still doubtful of the young man's plan. He obviously didn't understand what the latter meant.

"I'll handle them. I have my own way of dealing with those spiritual beasts," Rocky replied with much confidence.

"Spiritual King Basil, but you have to tell me the way first, right?" Commander Ling was rightfully worried about leaving his troops' faith to the young man.

"I'm sorry but the plan won't work if I tell you. Besides, we have to be wary of our surroundings. After all, these walls are paper-thin." Rocky had a hunch that spies from the spiritual race littered among the army of the western region.

Being kept in the dark didn't help with Commander Ling's growing anxiety. He was still on the edge whether or not he should truly trust the man before him.

"What are you waiting for? Go ahead and do your work, Commander Ling!" With that, Rocky turned around and left.

Commander Ling could only watch as Rocky left, shaking his head in dismay. Shortly after, he summoned the three deputy commanders of the western region army to discuss their strategy, along with Rocky's plan.

"Commander Ling, do you really want us to do nothing and just put all of our faith in Spiritual King Basil?" one of the deputy commanders asked in disbelief.

"We don't even know the guy’s background. I'm afraid we can’t risk the lives of our troops by just letting him deal with the spiritual beasts alone!" another deputy commander added.

"Commander Ling, please think twice before you do as he says. After all, he is working for Tucker. Don't forget that he is also vying for the position of grand commander. If you allow his man to deal with this problem, he'll surely take the credit for himself. That will be very disadvantageous to you, Commander Ling."

The three deputy commanders were all weary of Rocky. They all tried their best to sway Commander Ling’s decision since they did not trust him.

"But what other choice do we have?" Commander Ling asked as he shook his head, completely torn by what decision to make. If there were any other way to deal with the spiritual beasts without Tucker's help, he would be all for it.

"Truth be told, I already found a way to deal with the spiritual beasts myself." Seeing Commander Ling's precarious position, one of the deputy commanders decided to take this as an opportunity.

"Oh, really? What's the solution?" Commander Ling's eyes suddenly gleamed in excitement as he leaned over towards the deputy commander.

The deputy commander then also leaned forward to whisper something in Commander Ling’s ear. Seeing this, the other two deputy commanders grew unhappy. If this plan succeeded, they would naturally have no credit to take.

"It sounds like a good plan. It’s decided, and I’ll leave it all up to you. As for Spiritual King Basil, I’ll ask him to stand by and wait just in case your plan falls apart." Commander Ling was overjoyed upon hearing this. He would rather deal with the spiritual beasts by himself so that Tucker couldn’t take the credit for it.

While Commander Ling was going over the plan, Rocky was in his lab refining a strange liquid. The substance had the ability to weaken the spiritual toad beasts.

The beasts were not known for their strength. They only relied on their corrosive saliva to cause damage to their opponents. If this ability got taken away, they would surely be of no use on the battlefield.

For Rocky, he could easily defeat these beasts even in his sleep since he had extensive knowledge about the spiritual beasts and could control them. But for the average human spirit warriors, dealing with these opponents was no easy feat.

After working hard all night long, he finally refined the strange liquid substance into a stable medicine.

As the morning dawn approached, thirty or so spiritual toad beasts suddenly appeared from the other side. A few of the strongest of them had the strength of a Spiritual Infant at the medium stage and had already faced against Rocky before.
