The Medallion novel Chapter 1614

Seeing that the human army had suddenly formed their own array, Isabel took a moment to analyze it as her eyes narrowed. However, the more she observed it carefully, the more she got rather confused. Logically speaking, an array should be based on a certain principle. Some would be based on the Eight Diagrams, some were based on celestial bodies, and others were based on living beings like birds and animals. In other words, there must be a specific form for its basis.

However, to her utter frustration, the array built by the human army seemed very random. Isabel could not tell the exact principle where it was based on.

'This is strange. Is it really a mysterious military array? Well, it contains the aura of one, but I can't identify its principle. What the hell is going on?' Isabel thought to herself, baffled at the turn of events.

It was known to all that Isabel was one of the disciples of the most powerful and brilliant strategist in the spiritual race—Isaac. He used to be the commander in chief of the spiritual race whose reputation was well-known in the entire Supreme Ether Land. Moreover, he was also one of the few powerful spirit warriors of the spiritual race who had reached the Shura Realm. In his several years of existence, he had made countless contributions to the welfare of the spiritual race.

A hundred years ago, the spiritual race was actually invaded by the Shura Race. Since they were obviously weaker, they were utterly defeated and were pushed to the brink of extinction. However, at this crucial moment, Isaac managed to reverse the grim situation on his own. He even captured the commander in chief of the Shura Race in the process, forcing them to retreat from the spiritual race's territory. With this, Isaac demanded the Shura Race to sign an agreement that they would not violate the spiritual race ever again in exchange for the life of their commander in chief. This way, the spiritual race was able to barely escape from their miserable fate. Therefore, Isaac's reputation after this event had even surpassed that of their patriarch. From then on, he became highly respected by every member of the spiritual race.

But the main reason why Isaac became invincible on the battlefield was because of his proficiency in utilizing the mysterious military arrays. It was said that when he was still young, he had a fortuitous encounter that made him obtain an incomplete manual of the mysterious military arrays. Although it was just an incomplete manual, with his astounding talent, he did not only master all the arrays in it, but he also created his own. This proved that he was indeed a genius.

After Isaac retired from the army, several generals and commanders of the spiritual race would still visit him in order to learn the mysterious military arrays. These military arrays were not easy to understand even by generals and commanders; thus Isaac only accepted three disciples in his life. The first two were now high-ranking officials in the spiritual race, and Isabel was the last disciple that he accepted.

However, Isabel's situation was very different from the other two disciples. She did not have a grand family background that made her eligible. On the contrary, her background was very humble. Her parents died when she was young, and she had to live with her brother on the streets and beg for food. In a fortunate incident, Isabel was able to meet Isaac, who was just passing by. But since Isaac could easily sense people's hidden talents, he became interested in Isabel. He could see that she was smart and talented, so he ended up adopting the two siblings, and eventually taking Isabel as his disciple.

This was one of the reasons why Isabel had become a commander of the spiritual race at such a young age. Of course, she also had the power and talent that made her capable of the role. In fact, within a year just after she became a commander, she had already gained many extraordinary achievements that caught the attention of the new commander in chief—Alyssa. When Isabel was ordered to attack the Heavenly Rain Valley, another important task was given alongside it. This was to establish a training base of the military arrays on the location of the valley.

On the surface, there would be a lot of questions as to why Alyssa took the risk to choose the Heavenly Rain Valley as the training base of the military arrays when she could do it in the territory of the spiritual race instead.

However, the reason was very simple.
