The Medallion Chapter 1957 A Confident Smile

Once all the preparations were completed, Gilbert, Rocky, and Vivian led the Ghost Fief's army out of
the Red River Valley and headed for the Wind Plain.

The Ghost Fief's army had about twenty thousand troops, while the Wind Plain had about thirty
thousand in their garrison. Zain sent the Ghost Fief's army to the Wind Plain, thinking that Gilbert and
Rocky had enough firepower to intimidate the Wind Plain's garrison. He figured that once Enoch
discovered this, he would be wary of the two and would undoubtedly assign more troops to support the
Wind Plain. Thus, Zain thought it was better to send Gilbert and Rocky out than stay in the army. After
all, out of sight, out of mind.

Unbeknownst to Zain, Rocky had his fingers all over the pie, and everything was actually under his
control. Zain transferred Rocky to attack the Wind Plain, hoping to take him out of the picture, but this
decision also became a key turning point in Rocky's plan.

Three days later, Rocky and Gilbert finally arrived at the Wind Plain.

The duo led the Ghost Fief's army deep into the plain, and they encamped three miles away from the
Wind Plain's military camp. They also sent spies to scout the terrain and how their opponent had
distributed their garrison forces across the plain.

These spies returned a day later and reported everything they had learned.

Once they have heard all the details, Rocky and Gilbert created an operation plan and prepared all the
necessary arrangements.

"Leader Gilbert, I'm going to the border to gather our forces now," Rocky told Gilbert once they finished
preparing everything.



Gilbert nodded and gave Rocky his leader's token, which he could use to gather the forces at the
border.

"Wait, Odin! Let me go with you!" Vivian volunteered.

Gilbert glanced at Vivian in surprise. Honestly, he always felt like his sister and Rocky had a special
connection with each other, and recently, they seemed to be getting closer. However, he didn't delve
into it too much and let them have their privacy. After all, he knew his sister's personality. She could be
obstinate, and he could never stop her from doing something she had set her mind on. Moreover, it
wasn't a bad thing, even if his sister and Rocky developed feelings for one another. It always worried
him that Rocky had promise, but he was too independent. Now, with his sister in the picture, it would be
easier for him to sway the young man.

That was the main reason he turned a blind eye to the progressing relationship between Vivian and
Rocky.

Seeing the expression on Gilbert's face, Rocky figured the other man must suspect something, but he
held his tongue. He merely gave a small nod.

After that, Rocky and Vivian left the camp and headed for the nearest border to the Wind Plain.

"Your brother looked suspicious of us," Rocky told Vivian bluntly.

"What do you mean?" Vivian asked, looking confused.

"He must suspect that we are in a relationship," Rocky said with raised eyebrows.

"Like hell we are in a relationship! In your dreams!" Vivian fumed, scowling at Rocky.

"Haven't we been spending so much time around each other recently? It's only normal that he would
think that way," Rocky answered lightly like he thought nothing of it.



"Humph! Fine! I'll stay away from you from now on." Vivian scoffed disdainfully.

"That won't be necessary. It's better if our leader suspects us of being together rather than the truth.
This way, it wouldn't even occur to him that we are oracles. Remember that we can't expose our
identities for now," Rocky lectured her seriously.

"By the way, you got my brother to ask Prince Zain for the right to transfer the troops stationed at the
border. Why did you do that?" Vivian asked.

"Yes. I'm planning to send a human army to enter the Shura Race's territory." Rocky nodded and
confirmed her suspicion.

"Do you mean the human army that attacked the Blood Fief in the past?" Vivian asked.

"Exactly. The truth is that I am their commander in chief!" Rocky confessed. After all, Vivian knew his
background very well, and he had nothing to hide from her.

"Ah, no wonder!" From the start, Vivian had always been suspicious of Rocky's true identity, especially
when she accompanied him to the Di Clan and saw how close Rocky was to the Di Clan's chief.
However, she didn't probe deeper since she figured Rocky would tell her everything in due time.

"I'd like to see what kind of ability this human army has—that they can occupy a Shura Race's fief in
broad daylight," Vivian remarked with great curiosity.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to see them after the transfer," Rocky assured her.

Half a day later, Rocky and Vivian arrived at the military camp at the border nearest to the Wind Plain.
One look at Gilbert's token earned them the submission of the garrison commander, and he gave them
the respect they deserved.



Rocky asked the commander to leave them a troop of one thousand soldiers, while the rest of the
troops would be sent to the Wind Plain to assist the Ghost Fief's army.

After the commander left the border with his army, Rocky and Vivian headed for the independent
military camp outside the border.

The moment the two of them stepped foot inside the independent military camp, all eyes gravitated
towards them. Vivian, in particular, was the center of attention.

"Hey! Isn't that girl a member of the Shura Race? How could there be such a beautiful woman in the
Shura Race?"

"Her aura is very unusual! She must be a Spiritual Emperor at the very least!"

"But she looks cold and deadly. I wonder what her relationship is with our commander in chief!"

"Since the commander in chief brought her here, they must be really close!"

The surroundings erupted in noise as the soldiers discussed Vivian among themselves. Her presence
evidently confounded them.

Soon, Eunice and the other three women arrived, looking surprised to see Vivian.

"Commander in Chief Basil, why did you bring a member of the Shura Race here?" Michelle asked.
She glanced at Vivian with a poisonous gaze.

"Don't worry, she is my friend. She is not a threat to us," Rocky simply answered.

"A friend? How come I've never heard of her?" Eunice asked as her gaze narrowed in suspicion.

In much the same way, Carla's and Lilith's faces were both contorted into complicated expressions.



"Don't get me wrong. I have nothing to do with this guy. But he saved my life before, so I owe him,"
Vivian explained without being prompted. She didn't want the others to think she and Rocky were in a
relationship.

"What? Oh no! He saved all of us before, and most of us owe him our lives. In my experience, as long
as that's the case, I'm afraid that you..." Eunice wanted to say something but abruptly stopped.

Hearing that, Vivian took a closer look at the four women and realized that Rocky had more girlfriends
than she had expected.

"Eunice!" Rocky shouted in censure, and his eyes grew stormy and grey.

Eunice bit her lips instantly, looking down in obedience.

"Are you ready?" Rocky asked instead.

"We have prepared everything we need. We're just waiting for your order," Eunice replied at once.

"Okay. I already sent away the troops at the Wind Plain's border. Prepare to set out now! You can pass
through the border now, although a troop of a thousand people must still be there. However, I have faith
in you. I know you can find a way to sneak in,"

Rocky informed them, sounding sincere in his confidence in them.

"Leave it to me!" Michelle instantly announced with a fearless smile.
