The Medallion

After a recount of the exact number of soldiers, Rocky learned that there were only about twenty-three thousand uninjured soldiers left in the Black Dragon Group. If they included the two thousand injured soldiers, the total was almost the same as the mysterious army on the opposite side. However, the gap in their combat effectiveness was large. The mysterious army had proven their strength by defeating the Black Dragon Group. Even with over fifty thousand soldiers, the Black Dragon Group was forced to retreat to the Munoz Pass because of the impact of the mysterious army.

It would definitely be a tough battle for them. They needed a smart strategy and some tricks up their sleeves.

However, all of Rocky's actions completely confused Boyd and the other commanders, although he had just taken over the command of the Black Dragon Group.

Rocky asked the soldiers to block the solid wall at the side of the Holy Dragon Empire's mainland. Once this wall was blocked, then the Black Dragon Group would have no way to retreat when the mysterious army launched its attack. They would become a turtle caught in a jar. The commanders had no idea why Rocky sealed their only way out.

Besides that, Rocky also ordered them to burn down the rest of the provisions, leaving them with provisions that would last for five days only. He also asked five thousand soldiers to dig holes everywhere in the Munoz Pass. He instructed them to make the holes wide in the bottom but narrow at the top. Over a thousand holes were dug in the valley which people would fall into if they did not pay enough attention.

Boyd, the Commander in Chief of the Black Dragon Group, was appalled by Rocky's deranged behaviors. But he could not do anything about it since he had agreed to let Rocky take the command.

All the commanders of the Black Dragon Group complained of what Rocky was doing too. They had never ever seen a general preparing for an incoming battle like that. It was a complete disaster in their eyes. Although it was true that Rocky used to be the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group, they all believed that he held that position only because he was a prince and Isis' husband. There was nothing special about him. If he was indeed a respected general, why was he doing so many crazy things? However, they did not dare to voice out their resentment towards Rocky.

On the other hand, Rocky did not mind the questioning eyes from the entire Black Dragon Group. He just executed his plans calmly. However, even Isis and Sabina did not understand what he was actually doing.
