The Medallion novel Chapter 1610

"I also understand the situation very clearly. But to be honest, I still feel rather upset at times. After all, I have been a commander for ten years. However, since Basil came, I suddenly felt that all those years I have spent being a commander were all in vain. Don't get me wrong. I am very thankful that Basil is here. I'm just a little dismayed at myself that I am very inferior to him." Tucker sighed and revealed a bitter smile on his face.

"Well, you are indeed right. Whenever I look at Basil, I feel like he is a general who has already experienced countless battles. But judging from his age, it should not be possible. However, all of us saw his mysterious military arrays. Everyone would agree that no one would be better at using those aside from him. Therefore, Basil's strength and abilities are very extraordinary. If I were the commander, I would let Basil play the more important role without hesitation. We are currently in a situation where all of the human lives are in our hands. We don't have time to be selfish," Bertram said with utter sincerity.

"I agree. Thank you. I feel better after hearing that from you." Tucker let out a faint smile, patted Bertram on the shoulders, and eventually left.

At the same time, since Deputy Commander Tu had been killed in the battle, his troops had no choice but to flee back to their camp.

When the army of the deputy commander returned and Isabel learned of his death, she was greatly shocked and infuriated. After all, all of the deputy commanders were very capable and skillful. Moreover, they were all familiar with her mysterious military arrays. It just meant that the death of one of her deputy commanders was a huge loss.

Soon enough, Isabel interrogated one of the accompanying adjutants in Deputy Commander Tu's army. "How did the deputy commander die?" Isabel queried straightforwardly.

Hearing this, the adjutant stammered as he told the whole story.

"What? The human race's army didn't make use of their mysterious military arrays? But why? They just took the initiative to fight back with their normal attacks?" Isabel was bewildered and immediately felt that there was something wrong.

"Yes, madam." The adjutant simply nodded as he kept his head low.

"What is going on here? All this time, the enemy army had been using their own mysterious military array to fight against us. But why wouldn't they use it this time? Don't tell me the commander read my mind and knew my intention in advance? What are the odds?!" Isabel grumbled as she pondered on these thoughts. If the army of the human race could indeed foresee her intention and tactics, it was clear to her that the enemy commander was a genius and not at all ordinary.

"Commander, from the previous battles, we determined that the Heavenly Rain Valley is easy to raid but hard to defend. Moreover, the overall strength of the human army inside the valley should be far inferior to ours. We have already done a lot of testing, so I think it would be better if we just attack them directly," one of the deputy commanders suggested.

"I agree. We still have thirty thousand soldiers on our side and they only have about twenty thousand. If you were to lead the next attack, the entire army would have high morale, and we can easily obliterate the human race's army this time!" Another deputy commander expressed his confidence as well.

"It seems that both of you have forgotten what happened to Phelps recently. He underestimated the strength and capabilities of the human army and eventually paid a huge price for his overconfidence. I am not going to make the same mistake," Isabel retorted in a serious tone.

Upon hearing Isabel's response, the deputy commanders looked at each other awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Fine. Send our spies to explore the terrain of the Heavenly Rain Valley. In the next battle, I will personally lead our army and set up an array outside of the valley," Isabel ordered immediately. Although she could not make any rash actions, she still decided that it was the time that she met the human army in person.

As Rocky predicted, three days after Isabel sent her spies to explore the terrain of the Heavenly Rain Valley, she personally showed up and led their army. She had also set up an array outside of the valley and waited for the appearance of the human army.

Meanwhile, the human army had been establishing their defensive positions around the valley.

"Sir, the army of the spiritual race has already set up an array outside of the valley. Also, it seems that their commander is in the front line of their army," Deputy Commander Ma reported as he went inside Tucker's tent.

At this moment, Rocky, Eunice, and the others were also there and were having a meeting.

"Basil, what should we do now?" Tucker asked as his gaze fell on Rocky.
