The Medallion novel Chapter 1606

“There are many powerful hunters like me in the spiritual race because only we possess the power to collect precious materials from spiritual beasts,” the man explained.

"I see. Then I'll bother you no further." Rocky smiled casually as he was about to leave.

“Wait. A moment please,” the man from the spiritual race pleaded as he raced to stop him.

“Is there anything else I can do for you?” Rocky asked as he gazed back at him.

“My name is Asa. I owe you a favor this time. Once the opportunity presents itself, I promise I’ll return the favor,” he promised.

“I’m Basil. Please, it was nothing. Don’t mention it. Goodbye!” Rocky shot him a smile before he turned and finally left.

‘Basil? I feel as though I’ve heard that name before,’ Asa thought to himself for a moment. After a while, he made his way towards the spiritual beast’s corpse and began to collect precious materials from it.

After Rocky returned to the Heavenly Rain Valley, he noticed Bertram ordering several hundred soldiers to build fortifications.

“Spiritual King Basil, where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you!” Bertram walked up to Rocky as soon as he saw him.

“I went for a stroll. What’s up?” Rocky asked nonchalantly.

“I want your advice. It’s challenging to build fortifications in the Heavenly Rain Valley because it’s too narrow. I’m afraid there won’t be enough space to set up tents. In that case, several thousand soldiers will have to sleep under the clouds and stars,” Bertram commented lugubriously.

“It’s a waste of space to build fortifications on such a terrain. It’s useless,” Rocky commented as he looked around the valley.

“That’s why I wanted to know if you had any good ideas!” Bertram said. His intuition told him that Rocky might be able to come up with a perfect solution.

“You’re certain you want my advice?” Rocky asked, squinting his eyes.

“Of course,” Bertram nodded reassuringly.

"I suggest we build fortifications on the three cliffs surrounding the valley,” Rocky commented as he pointed at the three precipices that towered over the Heavenly Rain Valley.

“You intend to build the fortifications on the cliff walls?” Bertram was stunned.

“That’s right. Since the area is too narrow, we’ll need a more spacious place. The precipices around the Heavenly Rain Valley grow wider as they rise. Building the fortifications on the precipices will save a lot of space and will play to our advantage as an effective defense tactic,” Rocky voiced out his observation and plan.

“But building that will cost an enormous amount of manpower and resources!” Although Bertram believed that Rocky’s idea could solve the space issue, it also had its notable disadvantages.

“I’ll order my Purple-flaming Phoenix and Human-shaped Giant Beasts to help you. This will help save you a lot of time during construction,” Rocky offered.

“Thank you. We would greatly appreciate it if you could design the fortifications for us as well!” Bertram was aware of Rocky’s creativity, which was why he pleaded with him.

Rocky shook his head with a bitter smile. He ordered someone to bring him pens and paper so he could begin designing the fortifications of the Heavenly Rain Valley.

Generally speaking, fortifications usually consisted of large-scale barriers.

Fortunately, the army was only composed of twenty thousand soldiers—the same scale as Tucker’s army.

Although they were equal in number, Rocky soon realized that this spiritual race army was different from the previous ones. They were trained well and, judging from their formation, seemed to be very skilled at using arrays.

“Commander Wang, this is no ordinary troop. Be careful!” Rocky reminded.

“We’ve guarded the Tiger Whisker Pass against fifty thousand enemies. Defeating twenty thousand soldiers will be a piece of cake for us!” It seemed Tucker had grown arrogant after the battle at the Tiger Whisker Pass.

Rocky said nothing more.

“Deputy Commander Ma, lead the soldiers to battle!” Tucker commanded immediately.

Deputy Commander Ma immediately led a troop to counter the enemies.

Meanwhile, the spiritual race army also sent out a vanguard of five thousand soldiers to fight against Deputy Commander Ma’s.

As the two troops collided, Deputy Commander Ma’s troop was immediately at a disadvantage because the enemies began to file into formation, just as Rocky expected. Although it was just an ordinary array, it was enough to make Deputy Commander Ma’s defenseless.

“I didn’t expect the spiritual race would know how to use such arrays!” It was the first time Tucker had witnessed that.

“Well, everything is possible!” Rocky remained calm. He knew there was no time to panic. Besides, the enemy’s arrays weren’t even that powerful.
