The Medallion novel Chapter 1358

"Was it really her? Why did she do that?" Isis cried out in disbelief. Although she had never had a good impression of Alyssa, she knew that Alyssa loved Rocky very much. So she could not believe that Alyssa had sided with Alston against them and even killed her father. She was undoubtedly having a hard time believing them.

"Isis, calm down. Basil will handle it," Marcia comforted her. She was worried that Isis would do something stupid impulsively.

"Is it because you killed Woods?" Isis' voice was hoarse and shaky, as her eyes flicked up toward Rocky's expressionless face. She was smart enough that she quickly figured out the reason.

Rocky didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.

"So she set my father up just for revenge against you," Isis sneered and looked at Rocky with disdain. Although she knew it was not Rocky's fault, she still thought that Rocky was responsible for her father's death.

Sabina and Lucilla could not help glancing at Rocky when they heard Isis' accusation. They didn't expect that Lance died because of him.

"Isis, it's not Basil's fault. You know he had no choice," Marcia explained, consoling Isis incessantly. A part of her was greatly worried that Isis would hate Rocky for this.

"I know it's not his fault. And I won't blame him, but I won't forgive Alyssa. From now on, I will be in charge of the West United Army," Isis declared with a fiercely determined look on her face.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're not fit to lead the army in your condition." Marcia's gentle expression earlier had been completely replaced by a somber look. She could tell that Isis would avenge her father's murder at all costs, and that was exactly what Alyssa wanted.

Isis was one of Rocky's weaknesses. Rocky would never stand idly by if something happened to her, so Marcia knew that if Isis led the army, she would probably fall into Alyssa's trap, bringing Rocky down with her. And Rocky was Alyssa's ultimate goal.

"Do you think I'm not qualified? I'm a soldier. I know what I'm doing," Isis said as she smiled coldly. In the blink of an eye, she had regained her usual arrogance.

Marcia didn't say anything more, for it was evident that Isis had made up her mind. She looked at Rocky, waiting for his decision.

At the same time, Isis also looked at Rocky with pleading eyes.

Rocky stared back at her blankly. He had mixed feelings because he knew that if Isis led the West United Army, Alyssa's plan would be satisfied. She would definitely deal with Isis and the West United Army with all her might. However, he also knew that Isis had a strong desire for revenge, so even if he stopped her, she would still do it. On top of that, half of the West United Army's soldiers were from the Crimson Dragon Group. If Isis called on them to help her, they would follow her without hesitation, which would definitely cause a considerable stir. Therefore, he had no choice but to let Isis lead the West United Army.

"Fine. You can lead the West United Army, but you have to promise me one thing," Rocky said after careful consideration.

"What is it?" Isis replied coldly.

"Always remember Nigel is waiting for you before fighting with Alyssa," Rocky said.

His words were like a bucket of ice that shocked Isis back to reality. She couldn't help but tremble, because Rocky was reminding her not to be blinded by her need for revenge. He had reminded her to not only fight for what she lost but also for what she still had—her son, who had only recently learned to walk. He was telling her not to risk her life needlessly.

Isis smiled bitterly and looked at Rocky with a tender look in her eyes. When she found that Rocky had become cold-blooded and ruthless, she was quite disappointed. The man who she loved dearly had already gone. But at this moment, she realized that things were different from what she had thought.

"Sabina, Lucilla, you stay with Isis and help her," Rocky instructed. He wouldn't let Isis lead the West United Army alone. With Sabina and Lucilla by her side, he wouldn't worry as much.

Sabina and Lucilla nodded.

And then, after Rocky made some arrangements, he left with Marcia.

"I'm still worried about Isis," Marcia said, looking at Rocky with a troubled expression.

"She is strong. Don't worry about her." But even though Rocky said so, he too could not rest his heart.

"Don't lie. That's not what's on your mind." Marcia immediately knew that Rocky was lying.

On his part, he did not deny Marcia's claim. He only cast a cold glance her and kept silent.

"Although the current situation is not favorable for us, I didn't expect that we could fight against Alston like this. Can we really win?" Marcia said worriedly.

"No," Rocky answered bluntly.

"No? Then why do you still want humans to fight against the spiritual race?" Marcia was surprised. She didn't expect that Rocky would give such a definite answer as if he had known it from the beginning.

"If we don't fight against the spiritual race, we won't have any chance. But if we give it a try, there may be a slim chance of survival," Rocky honestly answered.

"A slim chance of survival?" Marcia murmured to herself, her eyes gloomy.

"I'm trying to find an opportunity. Although countless people may lose their lives because of this, it's necessary to prevent the world from disappearing," Rocky said with certainty.

"If we don't fight, the world will disappear? Basil, what are you talking about?" Marcia asked, looking utterly confused.

Instead of answering her, he glanced away and hurriedly said, "I have to go." Then he flew away without another word.

Although Lance's death had shaken the morale of the West United Army, Isis helped them regain their confidence once she took over the army. Soon, they scored several victories. But soon, the spiritual race's resistance grew stronger too. Not only that, the East United Army and the South United Army were also in great trouble.

On top of that, the enemy, who had been fighting conventionally, suddenly changed their tactics. The human kingdoms, which had been recaptured by the United Army's three groups, once again fell into the hands of the spiritual race in a short period. It plunged the whole world into misery, as the humans lived in constant fear of their lives.
