The Medallion -
Chapter 1615 Ordinary Soldiers
Of course, even if the Dragon Gateway were opened, the human army could choose not to break into it. But that didn't matter. The Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array had eight phalanxes that could fight craftily. Each one could fight on their own or they could join hands. The fighting power of multiple phalanxes would be doubled. Therefore, even if the enemy did not want to enter the array, the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array could still suppress them.
To put it bluntly, once the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array was activated, the human race's army would have a difficult time fighting back.
But little did Isabel know that Rocky had already anticipated her plan. He ordered the three armies to merge into one, because he knew that if he wanted to break through the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array he had to risk his life to enter it.
Rocky also knew the reason why Isabel had opened the Dragon Gateway. She not only wanted the human army to enter it, but she also wanted to save face because the human army had broken through her mysterious military arrays many times before.
Because of that, Rocky felt no need to be polite to Isabel.
"Get into the array!" As soon as Rocky gave the order, the combined troops made up of the three armies grouped up and rushed into the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array. Within seconds, they had entered the Dragon Gateway.
Immediately, the troops made up of the three armies were attacked by the eight phalanxes of the spiritual race's army.
"Wait! How do we break this mysterious military array?" Eunice, who was leading the army with Rocky, asked over all the noise. She had no idea what to do next.
"Well, according to what I know about the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array, it should have been created based on the principle of the nine divisions of the sky and Eight Diagrams. If we want to break the array, we must replace the core, which also called the life gate. Breaking the phalanx that hosts the life gate will destroy the array," Rocky answered.
"So you're saying that one of these eight phalanxes holds the life gate?" Eunice asked, looking at the armies all around her.
"Yes. You get it!" Rocky nodded.
"That's easy. We can just break the eight phalanxes one by one, right?" Kye said. A confused expression covered his face.
"If it were that easy, it wouldn't be called the mysterious military array. The life gate can change as the phalanxes move. So that means that the life gate may be in the phalanx in front of you now, but in a second, it will be located in another phalanx," Rocky explained, shaking his head plainly.
"That sounds like a challenge!" Maxwell exclaimed.
"Yes. That is why I need your cooperation." Rocky's eyes narrowed slightly. The task of replaceing the life gate while battling back the eight phalanxes would make it difficult for him to lead the army. So he had to ask Eunice and the other two to guide the operation of the three armies for him.
"Maxwell, you are the leader of the Shield Army. Eunice, you are the leader of the Changing Army, and Kye, you are the leader of the Swimming Army. You all must follow every order I give flawlessly. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to act without authorization. Otherwise, we won't be able to break the array," Rocky said, wearing a serious expression on his face.
The three of them nodded.
Meanwhile, Isabel was staring at the spot where the human race's army had entered the array with wide eyes. She had thought that they would fight against going inside it. After all, the power of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array was too strong for them to be able to break it, at least not easily. But unexpectedly, the human race's army had marched straight inside. She did not know where their confidence came from.
"I'll show you humans what overconfidence buys you! Thunder Phalanx, attack!" Isabel ordered in a cold voice.
Soon, from the eight phalanxes, soldiers and spirit warriors in blue clothes that were embroidered with the word "Thunder" stepped forward. They swarmed the troops of the three armies led by Rocky and attacked them relentlessly.
Since the word thunder translated to attack, the Thunder Phalanx was naturally good at attacking.
Because he was aware of that information, Rocky would not instigate a head-on battle. He turned to Maxwell and ordered, "The Shield Army will provide defense using the Shield Array."
Then, Maxwell took charge and along with the Shield Army, raised the shields and pieced them together, forming the Shield Array around the entire army. Now, the Swimming Army and the Changing Army were protected as well.
Soon, the battle between the Thunder Phalanx and the Shield Army commenced. Even though the army of Thunder Phalanx was smaller than the Shield Army's, its attacking power was not inferior at all. Therefore, the Shield Army began to struggle.
Luckily, the Shield Array that the Shield Army had produced was very strong. The Thunder Phalanx tried to break it for half an hour but nothing happened.
"Water Phalanx, attack!" Seeing the strength behind the defense of the array made by the human race's army, Isabel chose to mobilize the Water Phalanx.
Soon, the Water Phalanx combined with the Thunder Phalanx and they worked together to attack the Shield Array.
Now, their fighting power increased significantly.
The Shield Army was trying harder than ever before to keep their array together.
"The Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array is really powerful!" Rocky said to himself calmly. Then he asked Maxwell and the Shield Army to withdraw the Shield Array and return to the sides of the Changing Army. Then, he ordered the Changing Army to attack the Thunder Phalanx under the cover of the Shield Army. Because the Water Phalanx was a defensive force and it did not have strong attacking skill, the Shield Army was skilled enough to take it out.
And now that the Changing Army was being defended and could attack its enemies, it had the advantage when faced with the Thunder Phalanx, which was not defensive at all. Before long, the Thunder Phalanx had been suppressed.
When she saw that the Thunder Phalanx and Water Phalanx were restrained, Isabel's eyes narrowed. She knew that the leader of the human race's army was able to see through the construction principles of her Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array. She had expected that. There were some masters who were proficient in the mysterious military arrays in the human army too. Therefore, she was ready to fight her way out of it.
Isabel turned and asked the Thunder Phalanx to withdraw and told the Valley Phalanx to attack.
When the valley met with the water, a swamp would result.
The moment that the Valley Phalanx attacked, the Changing Army looked like they were knee deep in a swamp and seemed to be unable to extricate themselves.
When Rocky saw that the Changing Army was sandwiched between the Valley Phalanx and the Water Phalanx, he wasn't bothered at all. Instead, he smiled, because the first division of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array had been exposed.
Rocky spun around and asked Eunice to lead the Swimming Army into the area that was currently occupied by the Water Phalanx.
"Damn it! He figured it out!" Isabel had thought it would take Rocky a lot longer to discover the method that would break the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array. In a panic, she asked the Heaven Phalanx and the Mountain Phalanx to intercept the Swimming Army.
However, the Swimming Army was currently being led by Eunice and was full of momentum. Despite the joint efforts of the Heaven Phalanx and the Mountain Phalanx, the army still was able to reach the Water Phalanx and occupy the first division of the nine divisions.
In order to break the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array, one had to combine the principles of the nine divisions of the sky and the Eight Diagrams. The two went hand-in-hand. They had to go from the first to the ninth division in order. If they messed it up, all their efforts would be in vain. On the contrary, if they got the order right, then every division would lose its effect and each phalanx would transform into an ordinary army.
