The Medallion

"That's easy! I will create an opening for you so you can cross the border from the nearest defense line of the battlefield," Rocky clarified. Of course, he already had a plan.

"This is an excellent opportunity to get some proper exercises again!" Michelle exclaimed, looking utterly excited by the prospect.

Afterward, Rocky gave the girls a more detailed explanation about their deployment. Once the girls understood what they needed to do, he left the independent military camp.

However, he didn't return to Gilbert's mansion. He headed to the Genie Fief instead to look for Adrian.

Now that the king had strong-armed the decision to have Zain as his successor, Rocky's previous arrangements were consequently ruined, which meant he had some adjustments to make.

But unexpectedly, Rocky didn't see Adrian when he arrived at the Genie Fief. It turned out that Zain had summoned Adrian and appointed him as the left grand commander, and the latter had headed for the front line.

Therefore, Rocky had no choice but to return to Gilbert's mansion for the time being. He would go to the front line with Gilbert later.

Two days later, Gilbert went to the Royal Land to meet the king, just as Rocky had said.

This time was crucial for the army, so they figured that the king would not dare to refuse Gilbert. Moreover, he would likely allow Gilbert to fight independently, giving him enough military power to assist Zain with all his strength.

Since Gilbert had prepared ahead of time, he was able to depart as soon as he returned to the Ghost Capital. And together with Rocky and Vivian, he led the army to the front line to meet the royal family's army.

A few days later, the team Gilbert led finally arrived at the front line, where the royal family's army was situated.

Zain was currently inside his camp.

"Leader Gilbert, Odin, I'm honored that you have come to support us at this crucial time. Your actions show your loyalty to the royal family. Please forgive me if I have offended you before!" Zain greeted them warmly. Sitting in the commander in chief's sizeable chair and adorned with his golden armor, he looked simply majestic.
