The Medallion
Chapter 1647 Turning The Tide

"You're quite blunt," Alyssa noted with a smile. She wasn't at all surprised. No matter what Rocky requested, it wasn't too much for her. After all, he came into this world to save them and that was why he lost his divine power. It was undeniable that he cared about them. As long as that remained, Alyssa was willing to do anything for him.

"What do you say? Do you agree?" Rocky asked with a grin.

"I will. If you want information on the spiritual race's army, I'll hand it over immediately. But it still won't be enough to change the current situation. Our race's power greatly surpasses that of your human. On top of that, the human army is highly unmotivated at the moment. If it weren't for you and Marcia, the human race would've collapsed like a sandcastle washed away by the tide!" Alyssa voiced out in honesty. "Which is why I need to lead the human army to victory in a battle. That will help reverse the situation. However, I don't know if I'll be able to succeed with you in charge of the spiritual race's army!" Rocky admitted to her.

"You want me to throw the game for you?" Alyssa began to understand what he meant.

"Yes," Rocky confirmed with a vague nod.

"But if I do, I'll break my promise to the Shura Race," Alyssa pointed out with a frown. Back then, she had no choice but to serve as the Shura Race's puppet in exchange for her people's safety. She couldn't go back on her oath now.

"That's no problem. I've already obtained the sacred weapon the Star Divine Race left behind in this world. Its power will enable us to open the door to our world and you'll no longer need to work for them." Rocky was also aware that Alyssa was being controlled by the Shura Race. Now that he had obtained the Star Beast Ring, he didn't want Alyssa to be under their control again.

"Really?" Alyssa had long learned that it would take an exceptionally powerful force to reopen the door. Only the Shura Race held such power. She was left with no choice but to sacrifice herself to serve them. "When have I ever lied to you?" Rocky smirked.

"If that's so, I'll support you. But I can't abandon the spiritual race's army now. The elites of the Timber Deity Empire are still under the Shura Race's control. I need to replace a way to save them," Alyssa replied solemnly after thinking for a few moments.

"You can't do it alone!" Rocky insisted.

"I know. But don't worry about me. I've got a plan. Now, let me share with you all the information I have on the spiritual race's army." Once Alyssa finished her words, she shared with Rocky information on the spiritual race's military development, tactics, and logistic supply among others.

"How much time do you need to reverse the situation?" she asked him afterward.

"A month." Rocky set the deadline.

"Well, I'll order the army to withdraw in a month. By then, you need to secure aid from the human army and then head to the Demon Valley of the Shura Race. That's where the door is located. I'll take my people to meet you there!" Alyssa said zealously.

"Okay." He nodded in agreement.

"We must return together!" Alyssa insisted with a trembling voice. She stepped forward and then embraced Rocky.

"Yes, we will. I promise." Rocky reassured her with another nod.

Soon, Rocky left Alyssa's place and disappeared swiftly.

Two days later, Rocky returned to the human army's base camp. He met Colton privately and shared with him what Alyssa had shared earlier.

Colton was shocked when he realized the amount of information Rocky obtained about the spiritual race's army. He decided against asking Rocky how he did it since he most likely wouldn't reveal anything. What was most important at the moment was deciding how to lead the human army to turn the tides in their favor.

With all the information they now had about the spiritual race's army, they undoubtedly held the key to turning the human race army's luck around. A furious battle awaited them all.

Over the next half a month, Rocky and Marcia secretly arranged troops into various formations to prepare for the upcoming onslaught under Colton's permission. This was so the spiritual race's army wouldn't notice the amount of information they had retrieved. They were now ready to fight to the death.

Once everything was in order, the counterattack began.

The spiritual race's army remained unaware of the information the human army secretly collected and prepared. Once the battle was about to begin, the spiritual race's army was in a completely powerless position. They felt as though they were falling ten steps backward as the human army beat them with each step forward. All of their tactics were ineffective and could no longer hold up against the relentless counterattacks from the human army.

After half a month of remaining in a stalemate, the human army managed to cut off the spiritual race's army's logistic supply line. The humans finally tasted victory, sweet as the first drops of water to fall on a parched man's lips. The spiritual race's army suffered other heavy losses. This left them with no choice but to retreat to the border battlefield of the spiritual race where they proposed a truce with the humans. The human army suffered immense losses too. Naturally, they took advantage of the opportunity and signed the truce with the spiritual race.

After their success, Rocky, Marcia, and the others returned to the Di Clan with Colton and Eunice to meet with their clan's chief.

"Sir, the spiritual race's army has been defeated. The two races have ceased fire against each other over peace. I believe it's time for the Di Clan to fulfill its promise!" Rocky proposed immediately after seeing the chief.

"Certainly. I have nothing more to say. Tell me what kind of help you need from us," the chief replied just as bluntly with no hesitation.

"Thank you. I need a human army to help us enter the Demon Valley. They'll cover for us while we head to the door that leads to the alien world," Rocky informed.

All the members of the Di Clan turned pale at his request. The Demon Valley was a ghastly place where various diabolic beasts roamed wildly. If they didn't have enough strength, they were as good as dead once they entered it.

"The Demon Valley is no ordinary place. If we want to enter it, I'm afraid we'll need to think about it more carefully!" the chief said seriously.

"I know, but I'm afraid a long delay may give rise to many drawbacks. Especially if the Shura Race knows that I'll leave this world with my companions, they'll try every means necessary to stop us. We need to act before they replace out without a moment's delay." What worried Rocky the most was Alyssa. Since the spiritual race's army had lost the upper hand, the Shura Race would definitely suspect Alyssa. That placed her in a very dangerous situation. He needed to meet her at the Demon Valley as soon as possible according to their agreement.

"Well, if you insist. I'll instruct Colton to lead a human army and some of our clan's elites to escort you to the Demon Valley. They'll cover for you as well when you arrive at the door to another world. But after that, you're on your own," the chief explained as he put his arrangement forward.
