The Medallion novel Chapter 1584

At this moment, all the people in Fraser's tent were in utter disbelief.

"What do you mean the Celestial Gate Position was lost? How is that even possible? What the hell is going on?" Fraser was obviously discombobulated at the sudden news.

At the same time, everyone present looked at each other with pale faces. No one could figure the reason out why the Celestial Gate Position would fall. It was unimaginable because it should withstand the forces of the spiritual race.

Moreover, what made people even more baffled was the fact that Rocky's prediction had been spot on. People even ridiculed him when he said that the Celestial Gate Position would be the target of the spiritual race. But now, they were rendered speechless when it turned into reality.

"What a blunder! If only we have listened to Basil's warning and immediately informed Grand Commander You about it, we could have avoided this," Bertram could not help but rant and express his frustration.

"It's useless to say that now. We cannot undo it." Of course, Fraser was the most miserable one. Never did he expect that what Rocky predicted would really come true.

The other deputy commanders who also looked down upon Rocky looked very gloomy and regretful.

"What is the situation of the Celestial Gate Position right now?" Fraser changed the topic and wanted to get an update.

"After the position fell to the enemies, Grand Commander You led the rest of his troops and retreated to Deadwood Road. He planned to set up the camp there because if it also falls into the hands of the spiritual race, all the front lines in the left wing will be exposed to the attack of the spiritual race army," one of the deputy commanders reported in detail.

"But did Grand Commander You give any instruction for other commanders?" Fraser asked, feeling guilty of everything that happened.

"No, there isn't. Although, I personally think that we should go and support the troops of the grand commander."

"That's a good idea. We must reinforce and defend Deadwood Road at all costs. Otherwise, the entire left wing will be in danger."

"I agree. If we can extend our support and defeat the troops of the spiritual race that are after Grand Commander You, there still might be a chance to take back the Celestial Gate Position!"

"Commander Fraser, I know that Grand Commander You did not issue any instructions, but he must have no time to do it because he was too busy taking care of the affairs in Deadwood Road. I believe that when the commanders in other passes receive this news, they will also take action and come to the grand commander's aid. Therefore, we should take this chance and make noteworthy contributions!"

The deputy commanders expressed their opinions about what they could do next.

"Commander Fraser, I'm willing to lead my team, head to Deadwood Road, and become the grand commander's support," one of the deputy commanders immediately volunteered. With the thought that this was a great opportunity to make contributions, he spoke without any hesitation.

"Commander Fraser, let us not be hasty. If we assemble more troops and randomly send them to the Celestial Gate Position, I'm afraid that this will just create more disorder. If the soldiers could not attack with proper coordination, the spiritual race will just easily triumph over them!" Bertram voiced his opinion and continued, "Besides, if the grand commander did not issue any military order to support his troops, it should not be a mistake. Right now, it will be better if we stay in our position and guard the Bear Pass."

"The Celestial Gate Position is the core of the entire left wing. If we can't take it back as soon as possible, can you imagine the losses that it will cause? With our troops there, we can buy some time for the grand commander to take action." Although Fraser sounded that he was sincere in supporting Grand Commander You, it was obvious that he had an ulterior motive.

"But, sir…" Bertram wanted to say something more to stop Fraser.

"I don't want to hear it, Bertram. You'd better behave yourself." Then, Fraser turned towards the other deputy commanders. "Deputy Commanders Chen and Huang, gather about twenty thousand soldiers and lead them to Deadwood Road to give support to the grand commander!"

Upon hearing Fraser's orders, the two deputy commanders cupped their hands and immediately left.

At the same time, Bertram could just shake his head while he headed out with the other deputy commanders.

Meanwhile, as Rocky heard the news about the fall of the Celestial Gate Position, he was not surprised at all. In fact, he thought that it was just really a matter of time before it happened.

"It turned out that your prediction was spot on! I bet Commander Fraser is very regretful right now," Eunice said haughtily.

"Well, it is more interesting this way." Kye just nodded and let out a sneer.

Soon enough, Bertram appeared in front of the three.

"How is Commander Fraser doing right now?" Eunice asked right away.

"Well, what do you think?" Bertram answered as he let out a bitter smile.
