The Medallion

"You want a secret alliance between us and the Genie Fief? I don't think that will be easy. I'm sure the Flower Fief will oppose this idea," Gilbert said.

"We can't let the Flower Fief know about it. This secret alliance between us and the Genie Fief will just be between us," Rocky corrected.

"Are you saying that you want to take advantage of the power of the two fiefs at the same time?" Gilbert asked in surprise.

"Yes. After all, only a single person will stand at the end of this battle among the Godly Geniuses. All of these alliances are just temporary. Sooner or later, whether it is the Flower Fief or the Genie Fief, they shall become our enemies. But for now, if we can take advantage of these alliances to the fullest, we will have better chances of winning. If we stay in the middle, we can let them deal with each other first. Then, when both sides are already hurt and exhausted, that's when we will strike," Rocky explained as he analyzed the situation.

"That is actually a good strategy. You are thinking too far ahead," Gilbert remarked in surprise. He did not expect that Rocky would be this serious and smart in using his foresight.

"However, I know that this plan is too risky. First of all, we have to make sure that Leader Adrian agrees to it. Second, we have to be very careful in hiding it from the Flower Fief," Rocky warned.

"You are right. Now that Adrian comes to us, the Flower Fief will be on guard. I suspect that Elder Leticia may come to speak with me soon," Gilbert replied.

"Hence, our only option is to put on an act," Rocky said with a cunning smile.

"An act? What do you mean?"

Then, Rocky walked towards Gilbert and whispered his plan in his ear. Gilbert's eyes instantly lit up and widened as he stared back at Rocky. He was taken aback that Rocky would be able to come up with such a brilliant idea.

"So, who's going to talk to Adrian?" Gilbert asked right away.

"After this, I'm actually going to meet both Leader Adrian and Godly Genius Gloria. Don't worry. You can leave it to me," Rocky assured.

"I see. Good luck then. If this plan works smoothly, the advantages will easily outweigh the disadvantages," Gilbert said in a hopeful tone.

Rocky just nodded and eventually left the hall to proceed to where Adrian and his daughter were currently staying.
