The Medallion

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.
