The Medallion novel Chapter 1607

"Basil, I'm ashamed to ask you this, but I think we must rely on you again this time," Tucker said with a bit of reluctance in his voice. He was well aware that the army of the spiritual race was knowledgeable in using arrays to their advantage. Hence, they were not the kind of enemies that any ordinary army of the human race could easily deal with. At this point, it was inevitable that they could only rely on Rocky.

"Hmm, I'm not sure that is the best course of action right now. It would be overkill if I faced them. Why don't we try sending Deputy Commander Fei to fight them instead? I can tell him the process of breaking their array to easily defeat our enemies," Rocky suggested with a cunning smile. From Rocky's perspective, it was not really worth his effort to battle such a small army all the time. Moreover, he felt that there was something odd in the way the spiritual race's army fought. He speculated that they must still be hiding some tricks up their sleeves, so he wanted to send others to fight first so he could test his assumption.

"But would that work?" Tucker asked, worried that something might go wrong during the battle.

"Of course. Trust me on this." After saying that, Rocky approached Bertram and whispered something to him.

While listening to Rocky's instructions, Bertram nodded repeatedly as he quickly understood what Rocky wanted him to do.

Immediately after, Bertram set out together with the Swimming Army to fight the army of the spiritual race outside the valley again.

But just like what happened last time, the spearhead of the spiritual race launched an array attack again, which seemed like a vicious snake that was patiently trying to ensnare them. It would sometimes shrink and expand. And the moment it shrank, the enemy would launch a joint attack that made Bertram's army fall into a passive position.

When Bertram and his team were already trapped in the enemy's encirclement, he suddenly summoned a thousand soldiers and worked together to form a dragon-like head that rushed towards the vital point of the enemy's snake-shaped array.

Immediately after, the array collapsed and could not be restructured again. Seeing that the array was successfully broken, Bertram seized the opportunity to launch a decisive blow towards the enemy. Unable to resist the intensity of the Swimming Army, the spearhead of the spiritual race was eventually forced to withdraw. After all, many of them were either killed or seriously injured. Soon enough, the spiritual race's army heard the sound of horns that came directly from their headquarters.

After that, they completely retreated from the battlefield.

As soon as there were already no signs of the enemy, Bertram led his army back to the Heavenly Rain Valley.

"Bertram, good job! You managed to defeat them soundly," Tucker immediately praised him the moment Bertram returned from the field.

"Well, it is all thanks to Basil's instructions. He knew the exact weakness of the enemy's array," Bertram responded modestly. He didn't dare to take all the credit because he knew that he wouldn't be able to succeed if it weren't for Rocky's guidance.

"Well, that is true. Basil is indeed the master of arrays. He can easily break into any array that the enemy will throw at us," Tucker remarked with a sigh.

"You don't have to give me all the credit. I only gave the instruction but Deputy Commander Fei was the one who executed it. Anyway, although we managed to see through the weakness of their arrays, we could still suffer great losses if we don't carefully study them. It seems that the enemy commander is not to be underestimated," Rocky said with a serious expression.

"By the way, Basil, what is the difference between a military array and an ordinary array?" Tucker couldn't help but ask. He had already seen the three kinds of military arrays that were taught by Rocky and felt that they were very powerful compared to the ordinary ones.

"The function of an ordinary array is mainly to attack or defend. However, when it comes to a military array, not only can it do those functions, but also increase the overall lethality of an attack, or boost its defensive prowess at the same time. Moreover, it can also boost the morale of the army, which is always a huge factor in battles," Rocky explained in detail.

"I see. The truth is I had never seen a military array in person before you came here. But I heard that there was once a military master who had created a manual that contained hundreds of military arrays. If the military arrays are so powerful, then if someone could get a hold of that manual, he could lead an invincible army on the battlefield!" Tucker commented excitedly.

Upon hearing that, Rocky could not help but smile faintly. After all, the manual that Tucker was talking about was the same manual recording the mysterious military arrays that he had inherited from the Scarlet Heaven Jade.

"Well, with Basil on our side, we still have the advantage. With his wisdom in terms of the arrays, we have a huge chance of defeating the spiritual race's army!" Deputy Commander Ma took the opportunity to flatter Rocky.

Meanwhile, the deputy commander, who led the spearhead of the spiritual race and faced the Swimming Army, had returned to the tent of their commander.
