The Medallion Chapter 1149 Face Death With A Smile

"Commander in Chief, what do you think you're doing? I thought that we've reached an agreement that
you'll follow all of my orders," Rocky asked sternly while squinting his eyes at Boyd.

"Your Royal Highness, I just can't bring myself to agree with what you want. I won't sit back here while
my soldiers are dying one by one in this battle. We need another plan to conquer the enemies!" Boyd
said bluntly.

"Commander in Chief, let me just remind you that anyone who disobeys my order will be punished
according to the military law, including you. You shall know the consequences of deliberately going
against my commands. Reflect on your actions, Boyd. Guards, take him!" Rocky ordered to seize Boyd
at once with an emotionless expression on his face.

At the sight of this, all the commanders of the Black Dragon Group were filled with righteous indignation
at once. Rocky might be the prince of the empire, but they couldn't accept him to humiliate their
Commander in Chief right before their eyes.

However, the fact still remained that Prince Crimson came to them bearing the emperor's decree,
meaning that his every command was equal to the emperor's. Thus, no one dared to disobey him in
public. Although it was against their will, several soldiers eventually took Boyd.

"Your Royal Highness!" Boyd didn't expect that Prince Crimson would be so cruel to really punish him
at that crucial moment. Although he knew that his actions were blameworthy, he still couldn't accept
that he would be treated like this.

"Hang the Commander in Chief on the back wall so that every soldier can see him!" Rocky ordered
further.

At once, all of the commanders were pissed off at Rocky. This wasn't just mere punishment but an
attack to disgrace the entire Black Dragon Group. The commanders all went furious but couldn't utter a



single word. All of them preferred to die swiftly than be humiliated publicly.

"What? Are you angry? Then prove your worth and fight for your Commander in Chief! Remember this!
If Munoz Pass is broken, Commander in Chief Boyd shall be severely punished for disobeying my
direct order and for degrading the morale of the Black Dragon Group. If you don't want that to happen,
you know what to do!" Rocky reprimanded the commanders ruthlessly.

With this, his words further infuriated every member of the Black Dragon Group. They were agitated
because they knew that he was right. They weren't in the position to go against him since he was
Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire, the son of the emperor whom he bestowed such great
importance. If they acted rashly, it might bring further shame to Boyd.

Soon after, Boyd was hung on a wall at the back area of the city. From there, every soldier could clearly
see him.

For a long time, Boyd was considered as the foundation of the Black Dragon Group. That was why it
was natural for his soldiers to feel exasperated when they saw him in that condition. Actually, even
before they met Rocky, they had already learned of his great achievements as a member of the
Crimson Dragon Group. They respected his skills, strength, and authority. However, with what he had
done to Boyd, all those admirations were instantly replaced with vexation and rage.

"Listen carefully, soldiers of the Black Dragon Group! You have the chance to write our group's name in
history today. Do everything in your power to defend Munoz Pass. If it falls into the hands of the
enemies, remember that the life of our Commander in Chief will be at stake. Defend it even if it costs
our lives! Defend it for our Commander in Chief and our empire!" a highly respected commander of the
Black Dragon Group roared wildly.

"That's right! For our empire and our Commander in Chief! We must fight back!"

"Let's show these bastards the might of our Black Dragon Group!"



"Kill them without mercy!"

The other commanders also joined the chants, shouting at the top of their lungs.

All of a sudden, all of the soldiers were revved up, like untamed beasts hungry for victory.

"You really had to be the villain?" Isis asked as she walked towards Rocky's side. Looking at the
soldiers whose morale suddenly shot up through the roof, she knew that Rocky didn't mind being
hated, as long as his good intention would bear fruit.

"How's everything on the side of Sabina and Lucilla? Are they ready?" Rocky inquired as his eyes were
still fixed on the soldiers of the Black Dragon Group.

"Everything's fine. They're almost done," Isis replied.

"All right. Let's go!" Rocky finally gave the signal for them to charge at the enemies.

Even before the mysterious army reached the gate of Munoz Pass, the gate suddenly opened from the
inside, and two groups of about five thousand soldiers, led by Isis, Sabina, and Lucilla, rushed out and
headed to the wings of the opposite sides.

On the other hand, the masked man in a red robe just ignored the first two groups that rushed out. He
assumed that it was just a diversion to distract their forces, so he didn't go for them. Instead, he
immediately ordered to directly attack the walls of Munoz Pass.

With the vicious attacks from the mysterious army, the wall of Munoz Pass suffered great losses, but
the remaining soldiers on the wall were still desperately fighting and killing as many enemies as
possible while they were led by their commanders. Fueled by both rage and loyalty, they didn't feel any
fear or fatigue. They made up their minds that if they were to die fighting for the empire, they would
face death with a smile on their faces.



"Commander in Chief Boyd, are you watching? What can you say about your Black Dragon Group
now?" While Boyd was stretching his neck to look over the situation below, he suddenly heard a voice
nearby. Even without seeing the face of the one speaking, he instantly knew who it was. Rocky
appeared and stood beside him as they looked at the desperate soldiers fighting with every inch of their
strength. They were like wild beasts with bloodshot eyes, only aiming to bring down their opponents
before them.

As he pondered on Rocky's words, he just kept silent for a while and watched how every soldier and
commander were fighting with astounding bravery. It was pretty obvious that their morale right now was
completely incomparable from before, as if he was watching a totally different army.

"Your Royal Highness, may I ask something? Did you plan on hanging me here from the start so that
you could boost the morale of the Black Dragon Group?" Boyd might not have been the most sensitive
man, but he still understood what was going on.

"Well, you have been seriously injured and don't have much fighting power to join the battle. This is the
least you can do for them and the empire. Don't think too much and just enjoy the moment," Rocky said
as he still tried not to show any emotion.

When Boyd heard this, his face reddened out of embarrassment. He was supposed to be the
Commander in Chief of the Black Dragon Group, but this was all he could do to somehow be of use.
However, he had to admit that he did admire Rocky now. He was an extraordinary commander that
would do everything in order to get out of a predicament. With him taking the lead, they could hold on
for the chance to turn the situation around. Thinking about this, Boyd couldn't help but smile and let out
a sigh of relief. He appreciated that Rocky had successfully inspired and brought out the soldiers'
potential even at the cost of his image. More importantly, he was proud that his soldiers turned out to
be a dedicated army, willing to die for what they were fighting for.



Boyd actually wanted to show his gratitude to Rocky for what he had done, but at that moment, the
prince was already nowhere to be found.

Soon after, the ten thousand soldiers of the Black Dragon Group that remained on the wall were locked
together with the vanguard of the mysterious army.

Then, out of nowhere, an order to retreat came from within the city wall.

Even the commanders were surprised by the sudden announcement. However, they couldn't afford to
disobey orders, so they immediately summoned all their men and fell back without delay. Although they
didn't know what exactly was going on, they all retreated back into their camps, regardless of what
might happen over the city walls.

About an hour later, the inner city wall was then completely occupied. There were less than ten
thousand soldiers that were able to get back inside the Munoz Pass.

At the same time, another order was issued to all the soldiers of the Black Dragon Group. It stated that
all of them were to get into the holes that they had dug the day before.

This made everyone more confused. However, they had no time to question the order, so they just
followed without thinking twice. Soon after, the bustling Munoz Pass looked like a dead city. Not a soul
could be found above the ground.

A few moments after, the vanguard of the mysterious army also broke into Munoz Pass. Streams of
soldiers flowed in like a raging river. However, what welcomed them was a completely desolated city
with strange holes all over the ground. Because they were worried about the unknown traps that they
might encounter, they first sent a messenger to ask their Commander in Chief what they should do
next.
