The Medallion -
Chapter 1616 The Evil Striking Ghosts Array
The Water Phalanx lost its effect as soon as the first division fell, causing its combined effect with the Valley Phalanx to disappear.
Striking while the iron was hot, the Changing Army followed up with another attack and forced the soldiers at the Valley Phalanx and Water Phalanx to withdraw one after another.
When Isabel saw this, she couldn't help gritting her teeth in dismay. She had no choice but to merge the soldiers assigned to both fallen phalanxes and commanded them to return to the Valley Phalanx's initial position.
Moreover, once Rocky's soldiers occupied the first division, the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array's power slightly decreased as a result.
Rocky then figured that their next step would be to attack the second division, which was the Earth Phalanx's position, and he assigned Eunice to lead that charge.
That was because the Earth Phalanx was directly related to the Heaven Phalanx. If the Earth Phalanx collapsed, it could cause the Heaven Phalanx's power to weaken as well.
Of course, Isabel was well-aware of the gravity of the situation, so she immediately gathered the soldiers from the neighboring Valley Phalanx to help defend the Earth Phalanx.
However, she had not expected that another offensive would be launched at the same time. While they were distracted, the Shield Army, who had been quiet for some time, had stealthily approached the position of the Mountain Phalanx and took down the division by surprise.
Now that the Mountain Phalanx's position was lost, their soldiers were in a disarray. They had nowhere to go but the Heaven Phalanx.
"Damn it!" Isabel cursed furiously. She didn't expect that Rocky was not only well-versed in the principles of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array, but he even knew how to defeat it.
Now that Rocky's men had successfully taken over the Water Phalanx and Mountain Phalanx, the power of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array had grown weaker as an indirect effect.
At the same time, the battle raging at the Earth Phalanx's position had fallen into a stalemate. But because the Swimming Army and Shield Army couldn't move away from their respective position without compromising it, none of them could lend a hand to the Changing Army.
However, the entire war hinged on what would happen to the Earth Phalanx. If Eunice could break through it, she could also cause the Heaven Phalanx to lose its effect. That was her mission. Since Isabel had already lost two of her divisions, she could not afford to act recklessly, as she feared that Rocky would take advantage of the current situation.
At this moment, they all had eyes on the Earth Phalanx-the deciding point.
The stalemate lasted for two hours. But even though they faced the combined strength of a relatively powerful force, the Changing Army, led by Eunice, finally broke into the Earth Phalanx. The moment that the Changing Army conquered the Earth Phalanx, the Heaven Phalanx's power was compromised as well, and the soldiers in that position fell into an unfavorable position. The Swimming Army soon suppressed them, and they could do nothing but withdraw.
As this was happening, the Shield Army at the Mountain Phalanx suddenly gave up and withdrew towards the third division. Following the suppression and pushing back of the Heaven Phalanx's soldiers to their initial position, the Swimming Army advanced to the Thunder Phalanx as fast as they could, intending to band together against the third division.
Whether Isabel wanted to admit it or not, the ax had fallen against them. Thus, Isabel promptly sent troops from the Wind Phalanx to the Thunder Phalanx as back up. However, in the end, the Swimming Army and the Shield Army gained the upper hand, and their already high morale was boosted even higher.
At this point, five of the eight phalanxes of the Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array had been lost, which were the Mountain Phalanx, Earth Phalanx, Heaven Phalanx, Water Phalanx, and Thunder Phalanx. Isabel's face was a gloomy reflection of her army's demise. She had never thought that her Mysterious Dragon Gateway Array could be defeated so miserably.
She was afraid that if the enemy soldiers were able to break the array, her army's morale would suffer further damage. Thus, she decided to untie the array before that happened.
As a result, Rocky led his army and broke through the array with a triumphant shout, which was answered by the human soldiers' deafening cheers.
"Basil is incredible!"
Commander Wang and the three deputy commanders, who had been silently observing the battle from a distance, were also surprised. This was the first time that they had seen Rocky serious in battle. Of course, the human soldiers weren't the only ones impressed by Rocky's prowess in battle. The spiritual race army had erupted in an uproar as well.
"No way! The human army actually subdued Commander Isabel's mysterious military arrays!"
"Yeah! I thought our commander's mysterious military arrays were invincible. I didn't think there was anyone in the world who could defeat her..."
"But how on earth did that guy break our commander's mysterious military arrays? Who the hell is he?"
For a while, the spiritual race's troops were busy arguing with each other over their theories.
Isabel, too, was curious about the person who had successfully broken through her mysterious military arrays that had been her pride and joy. She stared expectantly at the human army in front of her, her beautiful eyes burning with resentment as she yelled out, "Who is the expert commanding your human army? Show yourself!"
"Well, I am flattered you think so highly of me!"
At the sound of Rocky's voice, the human army parted like a wave, and he emerged from the crowd with a sly smile on his face. "You were the one commanding just now?"
Isabel asked as she looked Rocky up and down with a sullen face. Rocky didn't look like a wizened old-man as she was expecting. He had an unpredictable aura, but he must be around twenty-five or twenty- six years old at most. "Indeed."
Rocky nodded with a smirk, which only served to irritate Isabel. "Who the hell are you?" she asked with a frosty glare.
Her awful expression didn't faze him, and he playfully inclined his head as he introduced himself. "My name is Basil." "Basil? I've never heard of you before. Who taught you about those mysterious military arrays?"
Isabel asked directly, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
"No one. I learned them all by myself,"
Rocky easily replied as if he was talking about teaching himself how to swim or something similarly mundane.
"You must be lying. There is no way you learned all that by yourself!" exclaimed Isabel. She figured that Rocky must be lying to her, as the mysterious military arrays needed such divine skills. As far as she knew, nobody could comprehend them without the guidance of a competent master.
"I am telling the truth. It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not," replied Rocky with an indifferent shrug. When she heard the steely firmness of his voice, Isabel's beautiful eyes narrowed in thought. She stared at Rocky intently for a while, silent and reflective. She could see that Rocky's attainments in the mysterious military arrays were so deep that they could even be on par with her two senior fellows'. That was why she wanted to know who Rocky's master was, but Rocky had denied having a master. How could she believe his words?
"Commander, is there anything else you want to ask me? If not, let's continue this battle!" Rocky said calmly after a while.
"I advise you to surrender to me now. With your forces, you can't defend the Heavenly Rain Valley,"
Isabel insisted arrogantly.
"Don't you think I should be the one to surrender? We have already broken through your array, and you have no advantage in the Heavenly Rain Valley. I advise you to retreat as soon as possible, or you will bear serious consequences!"
Rocky politely rejoined.
"You are an arrogant buffoon! Do you think that's the only mysterious military array I know? I have more powerful mysterious array skills to use, and I can defeat you all!" declared Isabel without fear. "Then, let's stop this nonsense and continue our battle," replied Rocky. He appeared as serene as he could be as if the idea of going against an accomplished commander like Isabel didn't faze him. "Are you sure you don't want to surrender?" Isabel asked again. She didn't think the human army would stubbornly resist to the end.
"Of course." Rocky nodded without a doubt in his mind.
"Okay then. Don't blame me if you all die." After saying that, Isabel didn't waste any more time and called out her next move. "Deploy the Striking Ghosts Array now!"
The next moment, Isabel's spiritual race army promptly gathered again and formed an array pattern with Isabel as the center.
As soon as they were finished, dark clouds gathered above the Heavenly Rain Valley. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled ominously. In the next breath, a strange red light shrouded the spiritual race soldiers and made them look like hideous demonic beasts. "What an evil military array!" gasped Rocky when he sensed the strange and creepy aura of Isabel's mysterious military array.
In the blink of an eye, the troops of the spiritual race swarmed over them like a tide. Their appalling momentum made them appear as a demonic army descending from the sky, and the malicious spirit that surrounded them flooded the place in a thousand miles radius.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
