The Medallion -
Chapter 1627 Unpredictable
"Humph. Let him be. I doubt anyone's going to believe him since he has no evidence at all. Besides, our plan is already in motion. He can't possibly stop us all by himself." Canaan couldn't care less knowing that Rocky was well aware of their plan.
"But master, it's still risky to let him go alive!" Ishaan tried to talk some sense into his master as he shot Rocky an angry look.
"Stop worrying! He's just a nobody," the young master yelled at his servant. He then looked at Rocky and said, "If you don't leave now, I might change my mind."
Rocky could do nothing but just stare back at Canaan. Even he couldn't figure out what the latter was thinking, but he knew he couldn't stay there longer. And so, he quickly turned around and left.
Watching Rocky go out the door, Ishaan couldn't help but question his master's decision. "Young master, why did you let him go?"
"You may leave now. Don't bother me if you have nothing else to say." Canaan, who was starting to get irritated, waved his hand impatiently to dismiss his servant.
Ishaan had no choice but to leave with his mouth hanging wide open.
As soon as Ishaan left the room, Canaan's face suddenly turned deadly serious. He let out a cold sneer and said to himself, 'I didn't expect someone would come for me from another world. I can sense that he's special. What's more, I can vaguely feel the aura of an imperial member of the Shura Race on him. Who the hell is he?'
"Layton!" He suddenly summoned one of his subjects.
In a flash, a figure wearing a blue robe bolted into the room and knelt before him.
"Follow that human and keep a close eye on him. I want you to report his every move to me," Canaan ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The figure in blue robe answered and disappeared into thin air.
"A war between the human and spiritual race will soon break out. We, the Shura Race, will finally be able to unite the Supreme Ether Land once again. We will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity after being divided for so long. Ha-ha! My mission in the Sky-suppressing Mansion will not be in vain!" Canaan raised his head and laughed wildly.
His eerie laughter filled the entire room. He didn't expect that he would get away with pretending to be the young master of the Sky-suppressing Mansion. He laughed even more as he realized that everything was falling into place.
Meanwhile, Rocky quickly left the mansion and rushed back to the Spiritual Beast Palace to meet Shirley.
"How did it go? What's wrong?" Shirley could immediately tell that something was bothering Rocky.
"Let's leave the Sky-suppressing City now!"
He said in a hurry.
Without wasting any breath, the two immediately fled the city. As soon as they left, Ishaan and his men came barraging into the palace to catch Rocky. Unfortunately for him, they escaped in just the nick of time.
Rocky and Shirley flew away from the Sky-suppressing City on their spiritual beasts and headed towards the border battlefield.
On the way, Rocky told Shirley what happened in the mansion. She couldn't believe that the young master turned out to be such a ghastly person.
"Although I can't figure out what Canaan was thinking, I can tell that he's planning something big!" Rocky added. He felt frustrated knowing that he was just being played with.
"What should we do now? Should we tell everyone when we come back?" Shirley asked.
"No. No one's going to believe us since we have no evidence. Even if Commander Wang does, I doubt the others will. Let's hold off on telling them right now." After putting some thought on it, Rocky decided to wait for the perfect time before telling everyone at camp.
Shirley nodded in agreement.
A few days later, they finally arrived in the Heavenly Rain Valley and parted ways. Shirley went back to her organization while Rocky went straight towards the army.
As soon as word got out that Rocky came back, Tucker summoned him at once.
"Basil, you came back just in the right time. I have something urgent I need you to do," Tucker said.
"What is it?" Rocky's eyes narrowed in surprise.
"While you were away, our army faced a serious trouble," Tucker said as his face suddenly turned grim.
"What kind of trouble?" Rocky had a vague feeling that it might have something to do with Canaan.
"A grand commander betrayed us! He sent our plans to the spiritual race which led to heavy casualties in our middle army. Our left and right flanks were also heavily affected. We're sitting ducks right now!" Tucker trembled in anger as he recalled the incident.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Rocky eagerly asked.
"The troops of the middle army are in dire need of reinforcements from the left and right army. The commander of the left army had ordered you to rescue them with a special group under your command," said Tucker.
"Should we leave right away?"
"Yes. Lead five thousand soldiers and head for the Bottom Pass to join another rescue team, then go straight towards the middle army. The commander who leads the other team is Deputy Commander Moore," Tucker added.
"Okay, I understand," Rocky nodded.
"If you need anything, don't be afraid to say it."
"I want Eunice, Kye, and Maxwell to go with me," Rocky said. He knew he could only bring those he trusted the most in missions like this.
"Sure. Since the Heavenly Rain Valley is safe for the time being, you can bring them with you." Tucker was also well aware of the importance of this mission. He was willing to give Rocky his full support.
In a short while, Rocky quickly gathered his three comrades along with the rest of the soldiers before heading out to the Bottom Pass to join Moore and his troops.
Two days later, they arrived at their destination.
The two leaders decided to go to the Sky Fog Plain first and rescue the troops there.
Three days later, their troops arrived at the Sky Fog Plain.
As the name suggests, the plain was covered with a thick mist during the day, making it difficult for any army to attack. But since the position of the human race army was revealed, the spiritual race relentlessly attacked them during the night when the fog had set. Fortunately, the commander of the troops was a capable leader who led the soldiers to retreat just in time and ordered them to build a new defensive line. Tenacious as they were, they could only hold on for so long since they were gravely outnumbered.
Since it was still daytime, the rescue team didn't dare to charge into battle blindly. Instead, they set up camp at the edge of the field and sent out spies to contact the trapped army to help coordinate their attacks.
A day passed before the spies returned, and their grim faces were enough to tell how their mission went. The army of the spiritual race was camped just outside the perimeter of the trapped troops. If they wanted to get in contact with their trapped comrades, they had no choice but to fight off their enemies.
"It seems that we have no other choice but to attack head on," said Moore.
"There's no need to put everyone's life in danger. I'll go in alone," Rocky said as he stood up.
"Do you have a way to go in without getting noticed by the spiritual race army?" Moore looked at Rocky, baffled since they couldn't afford to alert the spiritual race of their presence.
