The Medallion novel Chapter 1832

About two days later, Rocky finally arrived at the front line battlefield, where the supreme headquarters of the human race's army behind the defense line was situated.

The commander in chief, who was leading the human army in the front line, was actually the deputy commander in chief who worked under Colton before—Devin. To be able to take this responsibility, he was also one of the most important figures who existed in the Ethereal Region.

Before Rocky came, Devin already got a message from Colton informing him about the young man's visit. Thus, upon his arrival, Rocky immediately went to see Devin.

"You must be Basil." Devin had never seen Rocky before, so he was extremely surprised to see that he was indeed very young. For someone who had already attained so many great achievements, this was completely out of Devin's expectations.

"Yes, that's right. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, please. It is my pleasure to meet you! I actually could not believe it when Chief Colton sent me a message saying that you are coming here. This is my first time seeing the legendary figure in person." Devin already heard Colton mentioning Rocky a long time ago. He had heard all of Rocky's contributions to lead the human race in victory over the spiritual race.

"Ha-ha. It is already a thing in the past. It's not really worth bragging over and over. Anyway, I believe Chief Colton already told you the reason for my sudden visit," Rocky said and went straight to the point.

"Yes. About that... Isn't it going to be too hard for us to suddenly give up our current defense line?" After receiving the message from Colton, Devin found himself in a dilemma. Normally, giving up a defense line was taboo in the art of war. It was like giving the enemy the chance to take advantage of the situation.

"I know. But right now, it is our only option. Because of the flaw in our defense line, the troops here at the front line will be put in grave danger if we don't retreat. In fact, even the supreme headquarters may not survive their attack," Rocky answered with a serious expression.

"A flaw? What are you talking about?" While Devin was still at a loss from Rocky's remarks, a commander suddenly came in as if something very urgent happened. "Sir! A large number of enemies were found on the southwest side of the line and are coming straight towards the headquarters. We did not spot them until they are already this near to us!"

"What? How did that happen?" Devin's face turned ghastly pale, not expecting that something like this would suddenly happen.

"It seems that I was a little too late. They already made their move to attack the headquarters directly." On the other hand, Rocky was not surprised at all. In fact, according to his prediction, the army of the Shura Race would really appear at any time. It turned out that they also found the loophole in the human army's defense line that Rocky saw before. Now, they took advantage of it and secretly sent their troops to attack the headquarters.

"Gather all of our soldiers and prepare to fight back!" Devin ordered decisively, not wanting to let the army of the Shura Race get any closer.

"Wait a minute! That is exactly what they want us to do," Rocky said, stopping Devin from his plan.

"Then, how do we deal with them?" Devin asked. Based on what Rocky said, Devin assumed that he had a plan to counter the incoming forces of the enemy.

"Give the order to retreat from this place. Do it as soon as possible," Rocky answered with a straight face.

"Order them to retreat?" Devin was taken aback to hear this from Rocky. Instead of coming up with a solution to defeat the enemy, he actually wanted them to flee.

"I already told you. If we don't give up the defense line and retreat as soon as possible, the losses we will incur will be unimaginable," Rocky sternly reiterated.

Hearing this, Devin could not help but frown. If it was someone else who told him this, he might refuse to obey. But since Rocky was someone that even Colton trusted with all his heart, he naturally believed in the young man.

"Issue the order to retreat! Make sure that all soldiers leave the base camp!" Devin eventually gave the order.

Not long after, under Devin's leadership, thirty thousand soldiers fled from the headquarters before the army of the Shura Race caught up to them.

Soon enough, an elite army of the Shura Race with thirty thousand soldiers suddenly appeared in the base camp and launched a surprise attack.

It did not take long before the entire camp was set ablaze and torched to the ground.

At this moment, Devin, who had already escaped to safety, saw how the army of the Shura Race easily turned the camp into ashes. He could not help but feel so relieved that he listened to Rocky's instructions.
