The Medallion

Chapter 1893 Getting Excited

After leaving the Genie Fief, Rocky went to the border of the Shura Race's territory first. In order to make his plan with Adrian work, he needed to make some arrangements with the independent army. After all, they would be the key actors in this elaborate play.

Upon arriving at the hidden camp, Rocky instantly saw the four women, but it seemed that they were busy training their soldiers without showing any form of slack.

Seeing this, Rocky deemed not to disturb them, and he just waited by the training field until they were finished with their activity.

The moment they finished training and Rocky entered the field, Eunice and the other women quickly rushed over to him with excitement.

"Hey, is there any update? When are we going to fight? All we did was train all day long. It is getting boring!" Eunice complained, wanting to test their strength on the real battlefield.

"That's right! We are tired of waiting. When are we going to invade the territory of the Shura Race? I will be sure to deliver them a fatal blow!" Michelle exclaimed, sounding very confident after all the training that they did. In fact, after joining Rocky's independent army, she found herself enjoying the sensation of fighting on the real battlefield. Her competitive nature was brought out even more, which greatly helped her to motivate herself.

"As they say, haste makes waste. But don't feel so gloomy. I actually came here today because I have a task to ask of you. However, I only need one troop for this mission. Who's up for it?" Rocky asked as if he was giving off a reward.

"Do you need to ask? Of course, the obvious choice is my team!" Michelle declared without any hesitation. She was itching to test her strength, and she would not miss this opportunity to make contributions.

"And why should it be you?" Eunice immediately complained, thinking that Michelle was underestimating the other three teams. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"You can't deny that my team is the most mobile one among the four. Well, I just assume that this is what Basil needs to carry out this mission." Michelle had sharp instincts and already guessed what Rocky needed even before he told the mission.

"Ha! You are just guessing randomly!" Eunice snorted, shifting her gaze to Rocky. She could not disagree that Michelle's team was the most mobile, so she just hoped that Rocky was looking for something else.

"Well, Michelle is right. This mission indeed needs a very mobile force. However, the task also requires a lot of patience. Michelle, do you think you are still up for it?" In fact, just based on their abilities, Rocky also thought that Michelle's team was the most suitable one. However, when it came to her characters, he knew that she was still a bit rash at times.

"Of course! I won't let you down!" Michelle stood straightly and saluted with her chest out.

"Okay then, I'll entrust this task to you and your team. But I have to warn you that if you can't accomplish it, I will have to punish you according to the military law," Rocky sternly warned. This mission was by no means trivial. Hence, it must be successfully completed in order for Rocky's plans to move smoothly.

"I understand! I am already trained in the military way. So, of course, I know the consequences of my failure!" Michelle was still resolute, not intending to back out.

"Very well. Go and prepare for the mission. Once your team is ready, come to me and I will explain what you need to do," Rocky ordered.

Immediately after, Michelle gathered her team and left the training ground to make every necessary preparation.

"Lilith, I need to speak with you alone." When everyone was about to leave, Rocky approached Lilith and secretly told her to meet up with him.

Then, the two went to the tent of the commander in chief.

"What is it? Do you have a special mission for me?" Lilith asked directly the moment they entered the tent. Although she was still very young, she could be very perceptive. Hence, she had quickly guessed what was on Rocky's mind.

"Did you know that smart women have difficulty getting married because men tend to be afraid of them? I'm afraid that you are too smart. Be careful or you might not be able to get married in the future," Rocky teased jokingly.

"You are making fun of me again!" Lilith instantly blushed, pouting and putting her hands on her waist.

"But seriously, yes, I do have a mission for you. Since you are the strongest among the four girls, I know that I can only ask you to do this task," Rocky suddenly said with a serious expression.

"I am listening." Lilith nodded with her eyes burning in determination.

"I need you to disguise yourself and sneak into the fiefs that Prince Enoch controls. Once you are in, you have to find a specific object that is in his possession," Rocky explained in detail.

"I guess it really sounds pretty difficult..." Based on what Rocky said, even Lilith could tell how dangerous this task was.

"I know. That is why I need someone capable of taking on this burdensome task. I believe that you are the perfect one for the role." Firstly, Rocky chose Lilith because of her superior strength compared to

the other girls. Secondly, she had a high-level spiritual beast that could readily help her when necessary.

"Then, what should I do after I obtain this object?" Lilith asked further.

"Come to Leader Gilbert's mansion in the Ghost Fief to see me. After that, I will commence my next plan."

"All right. I understand," Lilith responded.

"Here. This is a skin mask that is specifically tailored for disguising. Once you wear it, you will look like a real woman of the Shura Race. Right now, Prince Enoch is in rebellion against the royal family of the Shura Race, and he should be recruiting people from various areas to join him. Hence, you will act as a Spiritual Emperor that wants to be recruited. If it is necessary, you can take advantage of the situation by using your charm and beauty." Rocky gave some advice after handing the skin mask over.

"Um... I don't really know how to use my appearance to take advantage of a situation." Despite her unparalleled beauty, Lilith was a young lady who had never experienced any romantic affairs. Thus, she was not confident at using her attractiveness as a weapon.

"Lilith, you are one of the smartest persons that I know. I believe that you will be able to do it easily," Rocky said with a faint smile.

On the other hand, Lilith could just sigh. Obviously, she was not contented at Rocky's reply.

"Well, for now, you'd better get ready. Once everything is prepared, we will set out. Also, don't mention this to anyone. I'll handle Eunice and tell her that you have to go back to the human race for a while," Rocky added.

"Okay then." Lilith nodded and eventually left.

Not long after, Michelle went back to see Rocky. She had already finished getting her team ready, so she was there to discuss the mission.

"Sir, my team is ready to take on the mission," Michelle informed.

"All right. Your mission this time is to go to the Genie Fief. You and your team are going to be actors in an important play," Rocky revealed.

"A play? What exactly does that mean?" Michelle was actually taken aback, not expecting to hear this.

"I want you to harass the cities under the Genie Fief and proclaim that you are sent by Prince Enoch. At the same time, you will reveal that Prince Enoch has allied with the human race. Of course, you really don't have to engage in a head-on battle. All you need to do is stir up some trouble," Rocky explained.

"That's all? I thought you will order me to really confront the army of the Shura Race. It turned out that this was nothing different from the previous tasks that we've done," Michelle said in a disappointed tone. She thought that this was her chance to engage in a large-scale type of battle.

"Hey! You volunteered to help me, so you can't regret it now," Rocky immediately reprimanded her.

"Fine! I get it!" Of course, Michelle would still do as she was told.

"Besides, even though you think that this is boring, it is actually very critical in order to intensify the conflict between the royal family and Prince Enoch. Based on your team's performance, we can tilt the balance of the fiefs. Eventually, we can take advantage of the outcome and make them submit," Rocky said earnestly.

"Yes, sir! My team will do its best to accomplish this task! But of course, if I do it splendidly, I want merits!" Michelle firmly demanded. In the past, she had always questioned Rocky's strength and

abilities. But ever since she joined the independent army, she saw Rocky in a new light, and she began to admire him very much. However, she still refused to show her approval openly.

"Yes, of course," Rocky answered with a smile. He had always been fair when it came to providing rewards to those who had accomplished their tasks excellently.

Then, after Michelle left, Rocky went to talk to Eunice and told her that Lilith would have to go back to the human race.

Soon enough, Rocky also left the camp of the independent army and headed back to Gilbert's mansion.

Upon arriving at the meeting hall, he saw Gilbert there, but he was surprised to see that both Valeria and Vivian were also there. Based on the worried expression on Valeria's face, he could only assume that they already heard about the task given to him by the king in the Heavenly Demon Tower.

"Why are you only coming back now? We thought that something bad already happened to you! Humph! You really don't care about the people waiting and worrying for you!" As soon as Valeria caught sight of Rocky, she immediately stood up and scolded him, like what a normal wife would do.
