The Medallion novel Chapter 1641

"There are fifty people in total, including us," Tessa replied.

"Good. With your help, our army will be able to move quickly and execute the mysterious military arrays swiftly." Rocky nodded with satisfaction.

The mysterious military arrays couldn't be activated by ordinary soldiers alone. Only spirit warriors could boost the arrays to their full potential. The more spiritual warriors that joined, the more powerful the mysterious military arrays.

So with the help of spirit warriors like Tessa, Rocky's army would greatly improve in terms of combat capability.

After briefly explaining the current situation of the battlefield to Tessa and others, Rocky called in Kye and asked him to take them to get familiar with the environment and communicate with the soldiers.

The spies under Rocky, who had been monitoring the spiritual race army's movements very closely, had just intercepted a vital piece of information. A spiritual race army amounting to fifty thousand people was heading towards Panta Mountain. Why they were headed there remained a mystery.

Panta Mountain was the junction between the human race and the spiritual race. Its location was quite far from the current battlefield, which was why their sudden race towards it was naturally suspicious.

Rocky immediately sent out more spies to uncover who the commander of the spiritual race army was.

Two days later, Rocky was informed of who their commander was. It was none other than Beverly, a female beast manipulator of the spiritual race who had fought with Rocky before.

'Does she know that there's an Emperor Realm spiritual beast in that mountain? Does she plan to subdue and manipulate it to command thousands of other beasts? If the spiritual race succeeds, this will greatly affect our chances of winning the future battles.' Rocky had a bad feeling about this, like a cold and heavy stone stuck at the pit of his stomach.

In the end, he promptly ordered and led five thousand troops to the primeval forest of the Panta Mountain to further investigate.

After three days of traveling, Rocky's army finally arrived at Panta Mountain. It seemed as though they were one step ahead of the spiritual army since they couldn't find any trace of them.

Their early arrival meant that they were at an advantage. Rocky immediately began to station troops around the forest to ambush the spiritual race army who would soon showed up.

As he expected, Beverly and her spiritual race army arrived at the primeval forest a day later. They immediately sent spies into the forest to search for the Emperor Realms beast.

Although Beverly and her army had stepped right into their trap, Rocky was in no rush. Instead, he waited in the dark like a patient predator ready to pounce on his prey at the right moment. It was also because he wanted to uncover how the spiritual race would subdue the Emperor Realm spiritual beast.

Another day passed.

After a lengthy search, the spies sent by the spiritual race finally uncovered the beast's whereabouts deep within the primeval forest. Beverly led her troops into the forest with no hesitation and headed straight for its nest.

The spiritual race caused quite a disturbance which immediately alerted the Emperor Realm spiritual beast that was near.

It seemed to have guessed that they were coming for it. It swiftly summoned a menacing spiritual beast army to guard its lair.

However, the spiritual race army was by no means ordinary. Many of its members were highly-skilled at hunting spiritual beasts. Every soldier in the army received nothing less than the best in terms of training for hunting. This gave them the advantage of knowing how to deal with powerful spiritual beasts.

Although an intimidating spiritual beast army guarded the lair, Beverly's army swiftly launched an attack as soon as they arrived at its location. Rocky assumed that they intended to finish this battle as quickly as possible.

Soon, the spiritual race army retreated from the lair.

Once the spiritual beast army realized that their enemy had fled, they redirected their attack towards Rocky and his army. They seemed to regard them as enemies as well.

"Sir, do you still recognize me?" Rocky hastily took flight and positioned himself to face the Emperor Realm spiritual beast.

"You! It appears both the humans and the spirit warriors wish to get hold of the sacred weapon among the ruins…" The spiritual beast instantly recognized Rocky as the mysterious spirit warrior who fled with the human army under its watch. However, it still thought Rocky's intention was the same as the spiritual race's—to steal the sacred weapon.

"What sacred weapon?" Of course, Rocky had no clue about the sacred weapon. He became curious about what the spiritual beast had just said. It seemed that the spiritual army intended to not only subdue the beast but to steal its precious sacred weapon too.

"Stop pretending. You humans are just as greedy as the spiritual race. You always wish to manipulate us. Once you get your hands on the sacred weapon, you'll succeed," the spiritual beast commented with hostility in its voice.

"It seems you've misunderstood me. I'm not going after any sacred weapon. I just want to stop the spiritual race from hurting you," Rocky admitted.

"Do you honestly think I'm stupid enough to believe you?" The spiritual beast snorted.

"Whether or not you believe me, it doesn't matter. But there's no doubt that I've helped you out just now. I don't require anything else in return. I just wish for me and my troops to leave safely." Rocky knew that the spiritual race army would lead another counterattack soon after they left. He couldn't allow his army to be further entangled with the spiritual beast army.

The beast paused to think further before it replied, "Alright, I'll let you and your troops go. But you must swear that you will never step foot into this forest again."
