The Medallion novel Chapter 1860

Of course, Zain was not someone that could be easily fooled. He was well aware that his uncle must have already set up a trap before his team arrived. Currently, both sides were almost equal in fighting prowess. If they started a fight here, it would definitely be a battle of attrition. Therefore, Zain knew that he could not recklessly start a fight without ensuring that he had high chances of winning. Right now, it was clear to him that he could not fall into Enoch's provocation.

On the other hand, upon recognizing that Zain did not have the intention of crossing the bridge, Enoch went back to the demoness and whispered to her, "Madam, I'm afraid that Zain will not take the bait. Should we find another way to lure him and his team towards us?"

"There is no need to do that. If I am not mistaken, there is still another team that is yet to arrive. Am I right? Let's wait for them first. Depending on what will happen next, we can just eliminate both teams at the same time," the demoness said coldly. She knew that she needed more sacrificial offerings for the ceremony to activate the demonic race's holy treasure, so she had to propose this suggestion. The more people they had to turn into sacrifices, the better.

"Yes, madam. I understand." Enoch cupped his hands and returned to his men.

Upon seeing that Enoch would not take the initiative to attack, Zain discerned that his uncle was just testing his patience. Therefore, he also took the opportunity and ordered his men to rest and be on standby.

At the same time, Rocky, Valeria, and Anya were also waiting very patiently while they hid in the dark.

"They are not making a move against each other? Are they gauging each other's strength first? Or maybe, Prince Enoch is also waiting for Princess Layla's team to arrive..." Rocky suddenly speculated. "That demoness must have realized that they could catch Princess Layla and her team easily since they are weaker than Zain's team. We cannot let her do that!"

"I can reveal myself to draw her away from the scene first. Afterward, you can also show up and stir some chaos to let both teams begin killing each other. When both sides are heavily injured, we can take advantage of the situation and finish them!" Anya suggested at once. She knew that the situation was getting unfavorable at the moment, so she proposed the most logical thing that she could think of.

"But that is still a long shot. Why don't we tell Prince Zain about the traps that were set up by the demonic race? Maybe he will retreat and even give up on this!" Valeria also proposed her own plan. It was apparent that she did not want the more dangerous choice.

"We don't have any evidence to show him. I don't think he will believe mere words. I actually think that Anya's idea is more feasible. At this point, it might be better to make things a little messy than let the demonic race take charge of the situation. We may have higher chances of succeeding if things get more chaotic. But of course, that demoness will not be easily fooled. So, I also think that there is no need for us to take such a huge risk right away. If my hunch is correct, the demoness and Prince Enoch will make a move soon enough. Once they take action, we can use that chance to create chaos." Rocky surmised that if the three of them showed up first, things might not really go the way they wanted, and they might just fall into a passive position. Hence, in the meantime, he decided that it would be better to take action right after the demoness and Enoch's team made their move first.

As they waited for someone to make the first move, half a day already passed. At this time, they noticed that another group of people was quickly approaching the Demon Sealing Palace. It turned out to be Princess Layla's team.

Although she had lost some of her members, Layla still managed to lead her team all the way towards the Demon Sealing Palace. At the same time, she had no idea that her team's arrival was what everyone was waiting for to break the ongoing stalemate.

Zain's eyes narrowed upon seeing the arrival of Layla's team. He led his men and appeared before the princess at first time.

"Layla, I see that your team made it. I know that it was not easy to overcome all the obstacles along the way," Zain greeted, a bit impressed by the princess's tenacity.
