The Medallion novel Chapter 1593

"What are you going to do now that the Tiger Whisker Pass has fallen to the enemies? Are you going to just hide here in the Wild Hill Pass and wait for the worst to come? That's definitely not your style!" Because Shirley knew Rocky so well, it was like she could read his mind. She was sure that he would never just sit on the sidelines and wait for death to show its face.

"No. I have figured out the reason why the spiritual race has chosen to occupy Tiger Whisker Pass, and I successfully nipped their plan in the bud. Now, it's time to focus on recapturing the Tiger Whisker Pass!" Rocky said with determination in his eyes.

"Do you need my help?" Shirley offered. She craved to work alongside Rocky again.

"No thanks. I have a more important job for you," Rocky replied.

"What is it?"

"I need you to look for a man." From his back pocket, Rocky removed a portrait. The person in the portrait was Elder Lenard, the man who had made the deal with Phelps. Rocky wanted to find out Elder Lenard's true identity. That way, they may be able to discover who he worked for.

Shirley took the portrait from him, scrutinized it, and asked, "Is this man's appearance accurate?"

"I'm pretty sure!" Rocky replied.

"Okay then. I'll ask someone to look into it right away, but it may take some time!" Shirley said.

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry. All of it is in your hands now," Rocky responded.

"Don't worry. I'll see it through. Catch you later." In a short amount of time, Shirley had matured a lot. Although she didn't want to leave Rocky, she knew that what Rocky had asked her to do was very important. It would have to become her priority.

After Shirley departed, Rocky returned to his tent and entered the Magic Spiritual Space. The moment he arrived, a dozen Human-shaped Giant Beasts he had captured were standing before him.

It would be impossible for him to control so many Human-shaped Giant Beasts at once using his Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. In fact, it would not be an easy job to control even just one of those beasts. Normally, a beast master and some other personnel were needed to control one. Rocky had to prepare himself to do it all alone.

Right now, he had to think of another method of controlling the Human-shaped Giant Beasts. After a while, he decided to transform them. To do that, he was going to have to perform a small operation on them that would make them follow his orders unconditionally.

The only downside was that it would take a long time.

However, transforming the Human-shaped Giant Beasts would be worth it in the future.

While Rocky kept busy making his preparations, Phelps was brimming with rage and embarrassment over the stolen troop distribution map.

He looked around his tent at all the commanders and deputy commanders. Their heads were hung low and none of them dared to make a sound.

"You are all useless! Such a disappointment!" Phelps scolded, throwing his hands up into the air to prove his frustration.

"Grand Commander, maybe the army guarding the Tiger Whisker Pass stole the troop distribution map from us?" a commander speculated.

"It's quite possible. Maybe they deliberately retreated from the Tiger Whisker Pass to see why we attacked them. Then they tailed me and witnessed my deal with the humans," Phelps replied. Even if he were right and had figured out who stole the map, it was too late.

"It looks like our deal with that clan has been revealed."

"It won't be a problem for me, at least, not for long," Rocky answered confidently.

Tucker didn't know what to say after hearing this. He wondered if Rocky ever found anything difficult!

"But if we really want to attack the Tiger Whisker Pass, we would need at least five thousand soldiers to fight alongside the beasts. That would leave only around ten thousand soldiers here guarding the Wild Hill Pass..." Rocky added. He was confident in his own mission but he didn't know if the soldiers that guarded Wild Hill Pass could hold on long enough for it to work.

"If you think you can take down Tiger Whisker Pass, I believe ten thousand soldiers will be enough to hold here for two days," Tucker said, ignoring Rocky's worries.

"That won't be enough. We need to preserve our strength as well. If we were to take down the Tiger Whisker Pass, we would have to guard it while we wait for reinforcements. The problem lies with the troop distribution map. The spiritual race army won't stop fighting until they get it back. By that time, the battle will be out of our hands!" Rocky predicted.

"But it looks like we are left with no other choice. Now that we know what the spiritual race is trying to do, we must keep the troop distribution map in our possession. They can't get their hands on it again," Tucker said firmly. There was no time to cower. If he wanted to protect his people, he had to act.

"I just hope that you are mentally prepared for what will come!" Rocky said with relief after Tucker made up his mind.

"Thank you. I'm sorry that we have to rely on you again." Tucker felt some shame wash over him. He was the commander of the army, but he was well aware that if Rocky hadn't come to their rescue in time, things might have been much worse for them.

"It's no big deal. I'll go and make my preparations now." After saying that, Rocky disappeared.

"Basil is so talented. It's unfair that he is only a captain. If he can successfully take back the Tiger Whisker Pass and help us keep it, maybe I can promote him to my assistant!" Tucker murmured to himself.
