The Medallion novel Chapter 1964

Zain glanced at Rocky thoughtfully. He had given a sound suggestion, but Zain was still wary of the Ghost Fief's army and Rocky himself. After all, they worked for Layla. They might betray Zain, which would be quite troublesome.

However, he couldn't think of any other way to transport the water and food except through the help of the Ghost Fief's army.

On his end, Rocky patiently held his silence, for he knew that Zain needed to make this decision independently. That would also prevent Zain from laying the blame on him in the future.

"Odin, please go back to the Ghost Fief's army at once. Ask Leader Gilbert to collect all the clean water in the Wind Plain and send it along with the food in two days. I also want you to take Israel with you, so he can assist you with the preparations,"

Zain finally decided.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." With that, Rocky nodded, turned around, and left.

"Your Royal Highness, I see that you are still wary of Odin!" Adrian suddenly remarked.

"Of course. He may seem like a simple person, but that's only for show. However, for the time being, we have no choice but to depend on him,"

Zain confessed with a sigh. His eyes gazed coldly into the horizon that Rocky had disappeared in.

On the flip side, Rocky found Israel and passed on to him Zain's orders. Israel then accompanied him as he returned to the camp of the Ghost Fief's army in the Wind Plain.

The resentment in Israel's eyes remained strong, even as he traveled alongside Rocky. He felt exceedingly envious of Rocky because the most outstanding Godly Genius of the nine fiefs used to be him. Israel had been used to people worshipping the ground he walked on, but since Rocky had defeated him, he couldn't seem to surpass the other man. Although they were both Godly Geniuses of the royal family and were on an equal footing now, Rocky kept on achieving so much, which left him in the dust. Therefore, at this time, the enemy he wanted to kill the most was Rocky.

Of course, Rocky knew what was on Israel's mind. He didn't care about Israel though, as the man was no threat to him at all. Thus, he paid no attention to the other man and his sullen treatment of him, for in his eyes, Israel was like a child throwing a tantrum.

After returning to the camp of the Ghost Fief's army, Rocky went to Gilbert and relayed Zain's orders.

Seeing that Israel had accompanied Rocky, Gilbert figured Zain didn't trust them at all and had even sent Israel to monitor their movements. Fortunately, they had already planned and prepared for everything.

Then, Gilbert called on the whole army to collect clean water by all means.

It only took about half a day before the Ghost Fief's army had collected enough water for the royal army to last three more days. They stored it in bamboo tubes and loaded them with the food.

"Let's go!" As soon as Gilbert gave the order, the Ghost Fief's army instantly moved out, escorting the water and food to the royal army's camp in the Red River Valley.

However, when they got to the Red River Valley, they found that fifty thousand soldiers led by the Elite Fief's leader had blocked the entrance. They couldn't enter the valley.

Left with no choice, the Ghost Fief's army set up camp and racked their brains for a solution to this predicament. How could they break through when they were so outnumbered?

"When did they start to block the entrance?" Israel murmured, looking puzzled.

"It must be after they burned the Red River Valley. They probably thought Prince Zain would retreat through the entrance, so they blocked it in hopes of an ambush. However, the prince must have surprised them by not retreating," Rocky explained after pretending to think for a while.
