The Medallion -
Chapter 1631 Defeat The Spearhead Troop
Seeing this, Rocky immediately began chanting the Buddhist Spell. As he chanted, the Buddha shadow fell from the sky and joined Rocky's army. With the power of the Buddha shadow helping them, it
became easier for them to fight the army of the spiritual race.
"Almost done!" After seeing that the spiritual race's troops had been successfully suppressed, Rocky used his spiritual sense and ordered the spiritual beast troops that were hidden not far from the west of the blockade position to quickly attack the enemy from behind.
The spiritual race army was already dedicating their full attention to the fight in front of them, and didn't expect that there would be an ambush from behind. Since it was a surprise attack, there was a spread of disarray among the spiritual race army, and they lost their combat power at once.
Now that the morale of his soldiers was relatively high, Rocky wanted to keep it that way, so he began chanting the poem "Are You Not Battle-dressed." "Are you not battle-dressed? Let's share the coat and vest! We shall go up the line. Let's make our lances shine! Your foe is mine."
As Rocky chanted the poem, every word that escaped his lips turned into a golden ray of light that shone forward and slowly enveloped his generals and soldiers, igniting them with a passion to fight. With the newfound fervor that the rays of light equipped them with, their attacks became much fiercer.
As Rocky's army fought fervidly, the gap in strength between them and the spiritual race army kept reducing. Seizing this opportunity, Rocky led his one thousand soldiers forward to launch a counterattack. The attacks of the spiritual beast army were strong, and their defense was outstanding. Moreover, their individual strength far surpassed that of any member of the spiritual race. Now that they were gathered as an army and operating with the utmost teamwork, the spiritual race army didn't stand a chance against them.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the spiritual race army had lost its upper hand and become the weaker side. The scales of victory gradually tilted to Rocky's side.
Seeing this, the deputy commander of the spiritual race army roared with resentment. However, he wasn't ready to give up. Gathering all his strength at the premium stage of the Spiritual Infant, he led his army to launch a fierce counterattack against Rocky's army.
Unfortunately for him, with the help of the Army-blessing Scroll and the mysterious military arrays, Rocky's army had reached the pinnacle of their defense power. With such invincibility, it was no sweat for them to resist the violent bombard of attacks from the spiritual race army.
At the same time, under Rocky's orders, the rear troops led by Moore successfully approached the edge of the blockade area of the spiritual race army as planned. From there, they were ready to join forces with Marcia's troops, who would break out of the encirclement at any time.
While leading his troops to the edge of the blockade area of the spiritual race army, Moore released a slew of fireworks that could be seen clearly even amidst the thick curtain of fog.
On the other side, Marcia's troops, who were already well-prepared and waiting for a signal, broke out of the encirclement as soon as they caught sight of the fireworks. At this time, the soldiers from the spiritual race were fully focused on fighting Rocky's bait troops, so they did not notice what was going on in the rear end, where the real rescue troops were about to join forces with Marcia's troops. The two troops led by Moore and Marcia simultaneously broke through the blockade of the spiritual race army and soon converged, forming an enormous force to be reckoned with.
Only then did the spiritual race army realize that they had been tricked. Nevertheless, they had no choice but to forge on with the battle. Thinking on their feet, they swiftly gathered together to intercept the human army.
However, by the time the reinforcements of the spiritual race arrived, it was too late. They found that the place where the human army had been encircled was empty, save for several corpses. Meanwhile, Rocky's human troops as well as his spiritual beast troops continued to fight with the spiritual race army head-on without retreating, because this was only the beginning of their operation plan. The success of Marcia's troops in breaking out of the encirclement was only the first step. After joining forces with Moore's troops, they suddenly disappeared. In fact, the two troops were hiding in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to attack.
Rocky estimated that as soon as Marcia's troops successfully broke through the encirclement and found a chance, they would target the deputy commander of the spearhead of the spiritual race army. As long as they could defeat the deputy commander, the spearhead of the spiritual race army would be easy to take down; they would be running around like chickens without their heads.
"Everyone, listen to me. Change the array!" Rocky ordered. When everyone reshuffled into position and formed a new array, Rocky's army suddenly seemed to emit a cold aura, like a fierce beast finally revealing its tusks for the climax.
A bad feeling suddenly washed over the deputy commander when he saw what happened. The truth was, he had not anticipated even in his wildest dreams that this human army, which was only a thousand men strong, could be capable of displaying such unimaginable fighting power.
"Listen to me. Let's break the array and kill the enemy together!" Rocky shouted loudly while reactivating his Army-blessing Scroll. The next moment, every member of his human army emitted a ray of light that pooled around the surface of their bodies. Their clothes fluttered without wind, and their auras soared, revealing a surge of energy fluctuations that shocked every member of the spearhead of the spiritual race army.
"Thousand-star Swordsmanship!" Rocky cried, passionately raising the Mystical Dragon Sword in his hand. The sword radiance soared into the sky and exploded like fireworks, turning into a shower of stars that splattered all over the sky before rushing down towards the deputy commander of the spiritual race army.
The deputy commander was immensely taken aback by Rocky's powerful momentum and frightening aura. He hurriedly summoned up all his strength, and a strange light enclosed his body, turning into a protective spiritual shield.
He put up the shield just in time, because the very next moment, the shining sword radiance released by Rocky's Thousand-star Swordsmanship attack violently rained down on the deputy commander. The splatter of sword radiance kept colliding with his spiritual shield, making a continuous sound of metals clashing against each other.
In no time, with a loud bang, the shield of the deputy commander shattered into pieces like it was made of porcelain. The broken pieces of the shield turned back to light rays that dimmed before finally vanishing into thin air, leaving the deputy commander, who was panting slightly, bare and unprotected.
With his chest puffed out a little, Rocky crossed his hands behind his back and said lightly, "Do you still want to fight? Even if you tried your best to fight against my troops, you won't be able to defeat us. Why don't we stop here? I'll give you a chance to retreat as soon as possible. It's an honorable option."
However, the deputy commander scoffed, feeling slighted by Rocky's suggestion. "You're nothing but a young man at the advanced stage of the Spiritual Infant. Do you think you're invincible just because of your weird arrays? Humph! Keep dreaming!" Obviously, he was still not willing to give up. In fact, he was even more determined now.
"As you wish. In that case, I'll wait here. Ask the strongest commander of your spiritual race army to come out and compete with me in terms of commanding skills. If his army can defeat mine, I will commit suicide," Rocky said firmly.
"Okay, just wait!" The deputy commander glared at Rocky as he chewed over his words. Then, he finally turned to his army and ordered them to retreat.
Once the spearhead of the spiritual race army retreated, Rocky ordered his army to stand down and have a rest.
Meanwhile, the commander of the spiritual race army, who was already furious after hearing that Marcia's troops had succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement, became even more enraged after hearing that his spearhead troop had been forced to retreat.
In the tent of the spiritual race army.
After the deputy commander, who had been defeated by Rocky, reported the situation of the battle, the other deputy commanders inside the tent exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They were all thinking the same thing this young rascal was too cocky and needed to be taken down a peg.
"Deputy Commander Bai, the human race is too arrogant! Lead your troops to challenge those one thousand human soldiers," the commander of the spiritual race army ordered with blue veins protruding out o his forehead. He was practically seething with anger.
"Yes, commander," the tall and thin deputy commander replied immediately, with his hands obediently cupped together.
Then, he led his troop, which was skilled in forming military arrays, to fight against Rocky's troop of a thousand soldiers. After all, fire had to be fought with fire. Now, they would be on equal footing. Before long, his troop was confronting Rocky and his soldiers on the battlefield.
"Ah, so they're good at military arrays?" Rocky murmured to himself. Judging by their formation, he could immediately see that this new enemy troop was proficient in forming military arrays.
At this moment, the new deputy commander named Byford Bai walked up to him with an arrogant look on his face. "I'm Byford Bai. Tell me your name, human commander. I need to know the name of the man I'm going to kill," he demanded gruffly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
