The Medallion

At this point, Tucker ordered the army to retreat to the Wild Hill Pass, which was just two miles away from the Tiger Whisker Pass.

Wild Hill Pass was actually once very significant in the Ethereal Region. However, since it had been uninhabited for a long time, the city walls were destroyed by heavy rains. Since then, it had been completely abandoned, and the human army established a new stronghold, which was now the Tiger Whisker Pass.

Therefore, the place was now covered in heaps of rubble. But it turned out that it could still be used for a strategic purpose. If the spiritual race's army really wanted to set foot on the Ethereal Region, they would easily be spotted from the monitoring range of the Wild Hill Pass, because the Royer Road one mile away from there was the only way in. This was the main reason why Rocky and others decided to proceed here.

Moreover, there was almost no way that the spiritual race would expect that Tucker would lead the human army that abandoned the Tiger Whisker Pass to the Wild Hill Pass. After all, they shouldn't be familiar with its existence since it had been abandoned for so long.

Overall, it was indeed a wise decision to settle down in the Wild Hill Pass. The enemy had no information about it, and it was just very near to the Tiger Whisker Pass.

Deep into the night, the human army moved into the darkness and arrived at the Wild Hill Pass in no time. They also rearranged their defense line before the sun rose.

Upon settling down, they noticed that the pass was in a complete mess. All of the city walls had collapsed, so they had no choice but to give up on the idea of resisting the enemy army from within the city walls.

"Basil, what should we do next? Our location is useful, but I'm afraid that we will be at a disadvantage if we are to engage them here," Tucker asked as he relied on Rocky's opinion.

"Well, first of all, we have to be fully prepared for the moment that they chase us here. Once they appears, we have to try our best to distract their army and lure them into the traps that we have set up inside the pass. This is the only way that we can diminish their forces little by little before we go for a fatal blow," Rocky said as it seemed that he had already come up with some plans.

"But that is very ideal. First, the spiritual race will definitely be on guard against us once they find out that we have left the Tiger Whisker Pass. Furthermore, if they have already occupied the Tiger Whisker Pass, they may not feel obliged to chase after us because they have already achieved their goal," Tucker replied in an anxious tone.

"No. If they somehow stayed inside, it would mean that they are not only planning of conquering the Tiger Whisker Pass or entering the Ethereal Region. They must have other plans…" Rocky said with furrowed brows. From the beginning, Rocky already guessed that something fishy was going on the moment the spiritual race's army used the Bear Pass and the Celestial Gate Position as baits. In the end, they even dispatched a large number of soldiers to raid the Tiger Whisker Pass.
