The Medallion novel Chapter 1679

"Grey, what happened?" Seeing the restless expression on Grey's face, Rocky instantly knew that something bad must have happened.

"There're people over there who want to monopolize the houses that the Godly Genius built for us!" Grey said as he panted.

"What? Who would be so bold to do that?" Rocky replied as his eyes grew rather cold.

"I actually don't know who they are because they are not from our slum. However, they wear the same ragged clothes as us, so we suspect that they are bandits from other places..." Grey said hesitantly as he shook his head.

"Bandits, huh?" Rocky's eyes narrowed the moment he heard this.

"Yes. They take advantage of poor people just like us. Most of them are also from poor families that can't make a living. Then, they form groups to bully weaker people and collect so-called protection fees," Grey answered in a gloomy tone.

"Well, doesn't anyone try to subdue and punish them for their crimes?" Rocky asked as he crossed his arms on his chest, letting out a frown.

"No. Those bandits usually don't stay long in one place. They just charge protection fees and then eventually leave. Most of them are rather vicious, so even the city guards that are in charge of the security in the Ghost Capital don't try to interfere with their business. Well, what can you expect? We are just poor people, so no one really cares about our lives. In fact, a few groups of bandits have already come to our slum before..." Grey recounted in a depressed voice.

"So, this time, they must have heard that the Godly Genius has built these houses for you. That's why they intend to occupy them." Knowing the attitude of these kinds of people, Rocky could already guess what they were up to.

"Yes, I think so too. Right now, the people from our slum are confronting those bandits at the intersection. However, there are only very few strong people among us. Unlike them, they even have some spirit warriors that could easily trample over us," Grey uttered through gritted teeth.

"I see. Come on, and lead me to them!" Knowing the situation, Rocky would not stand by and just do nothing about it. So, he immediately rushed to the area together with Grey.

As they arrived at the intersection, he saw some people from the slum confronting a group of fierce bandits who held sticks, knives, and even forks. On the other hand, most of the people from the slum were just old men and women, and no one was really strong enough to resist the bandits. If they continued fighting these savage men, they might end up being seriously injured or killed.

At the same time, the bandits seemed to be growing impatient. A bald man standing in front of them suddenly shouted, "If you don't want to die, get out of our way! Otherwise, I will have no choice but to kill each of you!"

Although the people from the slum were generally weak, they were so determined not to let the bandits occupy the houses that were built for them.

Therefore, even if they were threatened, they had no intention of giving in.

"You guys are really asking for it! Don't blame me for what will happen next!" The bald man fumed in anger and ordered his men to break in.

Immediately after, the bandits behind the bald man swarmed and rushed towards the people from the slum.

At the same time, Rocky was a bit surprised to see that even if the people from the slum were being suppressed, they were still aggressive and their morale remained high. Hence, he immediately rushed over and said, "Everyone, go ahead and fight with all your might. I will do my best to protect you!" Right after saying this, he took advantage of the people's morale and activated the Army-blessing Scroll to protect and empower them using the spiritual power.
