The Medallion -
Chapter 1611 Not Good For The Human Army
"Attack!" As soon as Tucker gave the order, the troops behind him quickly rushed towards the army of the spiritual race, like a domineering spear that would pierce through anything.
At the same time, under Isabel's command, the spiritual race's army formed their own array and charged ahead. They unleashed a huge savage-looking beast-shaped array as they attacked Tucker's troops. In just a moment, the two armies had already engaged and locked in a fierce battle.
Although the array being used by the spiritual race's army gave an impression that it was solely focused on defense, Tucker remembered Rocky's warning about their intention. They must be planning to lure the human troops deep into their array before they launched their real power. Just as Rocky explained, their array could switch at any time, so Tucker kept an eye on the enemy's movements and didn't dare to lose focus. He also did not let his men advance too much in order to maintain a certain distance.
As someone with years of experience in battle, Tucker did not really give an opening even though they were against the mysterious military array of Isabel. After two hours of confrontation, the spiritual race's army had not gained the upper hand.
Of course, it could be also noticed that Isabel was deliberately trying to go easy on Tucker to lure him into their trap.
Meanwhile, Rocky was standing on the top of the cliff of the Heavenly Rain Valley and was carefully observing the array that Isabel had deployed. He was trying to compare it with the mysterious military arrays that he was familiar with so that he could decipher its mechanism.
The mysterious military arrays that were being used in the Supreme Ether Land must also be derived from the ones created by the author of the manual he acquired. Hence, Rocky should most likely be able to figure out the overall function and system of the enemy's array.
Then, just as Rocky speculated, after careful analysis, he found out that Isabel's array was the mysterious beast array, which was very similar to the illusionary array. When it was activated, it could instantly produce different forms of beast arrays and could quickly transform from one form to another. The defending array was like a giant elephant, which seemed to be impregnable. On the other hand, the attacking array was much like a python that could swiftly strike in all directions.
Most importantly, the mysterious beast array was the second most powerful array in all of the mysterious military arrays. Thus, even though Tucker was pretty experienced in wars, it would be impossible for him to defeat Isabel using ordinary arrays.
"I knew it. The spiritual race is using their array to lure our troops into their trap!" After confirming the enemy's strategy, Rocky quickly flew down and returned to the valley.
"Deputy Commander Bertram, please lead a troop of five thousand soldiers to the west of the Heavenly Rain Valley. When you get there, wait for further instructions. You are going to set up an ambush for the spiritual race's army later." Rocky immediately ordered.
"All right. Copy that!" Bertram didn't need to hear all the details before he agreed with Rocky's plan. After all, at this point, Rocky's commands were even more absolute than Tucker's
After Bertram assembled his men and left, Rocky immediately summoned Eunice, Kye, and Maxwell.
"I'll get straight to the point. Commander Tucker should be in trouble real soon. We will need to go out to assist him. Oh, and it's going to be just the four of us," Rocky said with an awkward smile. "What? Only the four of us? What can we do with just the four of us?" Kye asked with furrowed brows.
"Just trust me on this. The four of us are more than enough. We just need to create an opportunity for the commander to retreat," Rocky replied.
Hearing this, the three of them eventually nodded and agreed.
After telling them his plan, Rocky quickly took the three of them out of the valley to replace Tucker.
Meanwhile, Tucker was still able to resist the mysterious beast array of the spiritual race's army, putting the two sides in a stalemate. However, soon enough, he sensed that something was odd. But before he could even react, the mysterious beast array suddenly changed into a snake-like form that coiled and surrounded them.
"Damn it! I already knew about this, but I was still careless!" Tucker didn't expect that the spiritual race's army could instantly encircle them under his watch. However, upon remembering what Rocky explained earlier, he knew that there was still a way. So, he immediately shouted, "Everyone! Retreat at once!"
Unfortunately, even though Tucker issued the order to retreat, the spiritual race's army had already blocked off their escape route. Hence, the human army was forced to fight like trapped animals and fall into a state of chaos.
But just in the nick of time, a dazzling spiritual light suddenly burst out from the western area of the mysterious beast array. Then, four figures tore open a hole from the outside of the array with great momentum and forcefully infiltrated the array.
It was Rocky and the three others who came to rescue Tucker and the human army.
"Commander Tucker, lead the army and retreat to the west of the Heavenly Rain Valley. Deputy Commander Bertram should be there by now, waiting for the rest of you." In the blink of an eye, Rocky landed beside Tucker and briefed him about the situation.
"Why would Bertram be there? Can't we just retreat to that direction directly?" Tucker asked, thinking that there might be some dangers along the way.
"We need to prevent the spiritual race's army from switching their array and taking us by surprise. In short, we have to completely escape from them before they change their array again," Rocky explained. Although Tucker didn't fully understand what Rocky meant, the situation was urgent, so he had no time to ask many questions. Hence, he just nodded and quickly gave the order without thinking too much. Afte all, he believed in Rocky. He was confident that everything would eventually work out.
"Eunice, Kye, Maxwell, escort Commander Tucker and the army out of here. I will be right behind you!" Rocky decisively ordered while his eyes were already fixed at the enemy army.
Then, the three of them immediately joined Tucker and the army and broke out from the gap that they made earlier.
On the other hand, Isabel thought that she had already won the battle. Even though they tried to escape with all their might, she was sure that she could inevitably capture the commander of the human army. Of course, she did not expect that her array would be infiltrated by a couple of human warriors that would try to disrupt her plans. However, she would not simply sit idly while watching them get away. While maintaining the deployment of their current array, she gathered the soldiers inside the array and immediately ordered them to intercept Tucker and his army.
At the same time, Rocky let out a faint smile because he had already anticipated Isabel's actions. That was why he chose to stay while letting the other three escort Tucker away. Just as the troops gathered by Isabel were about to chase the human army, Rocky appeared in front of them and instantly summoned the Purple-flaming Phoenix.
As soon as the Purple-flaming Phoenix appeared, it exuded a ferocious aura that instantly produced a powerful deterrence.
Upon seeing the vicious beast, the soldiers of the spiritual race were frozen in fear and did not dare to move a step forward. Thus, Tucker's army could eventually break out of their encirclement with the cooperation of the three spirit warriors.
"How dare you meddle with my plans?!" It was not until then that Isabel noticed Rocky. Her gorgeous eyes narrowed, but she did not let a single human spirit warrior destroy her plans. Thus, she immediately ordered to change the array to prevent Tucker and the others from escaping.
Soon enough, the mysterious beast array switched into the form of a long snake that quickly hunted its prey.
Although the change of the array's form was within Rocky's expectation, what he wasn't able to take into account was the speed of the array's transformation. Moreover, upon the array's transformation, the movement of the spiritual race's army inside also increased rapidly.
"What the hell?!" It was clear to Rocky that if the spiritual race's army caught up with the human army, it would be really difficult for them to escape.
"What a blunder! Purple-flaming Phoenix, take me there at once!" Rocky ordered. Then, he leaped on the back of his spiritual beast and chased after the spiritual race's army.
On the other hand, the army led by Tucker was still retreating to the western area of the valley as fast as they could. But they could already see that the spiritual race's army was just closely behind them. Their enemies' speed was obviously faster than theirs, and at this rate, they might catch up to them in no time.
However, just before everything got ugly, Rocky arrived in time and immediately activated the Army-blessing Scroll. In an instant, the entire human army, including Tucker and the three spirit warriors, felt that their speed was increasing greatly as if a strong wind was pushing them. In the blink of an eye, they were able to outrun and get out of the grasp of the spiritual race army.☐☐☐☐
