The Medallion novel Chapter 1363

"It's true, but that's exactly what I want," Rocky seriously said.

Marcia and the other two immediately looked at each other. Apparently, they didn't understand what Rocky meant.

"Basil, are you saying that you want to create a false impression?" Isis suspiciously asked.

"Yes, you're correct. We just want to create a false impression that would make Alyssa think that we are in a disadvantageous situation," Rocky said as he nodded in approval of his idea.

"But what good will that do to us?" Bryant immediately asked.

"Once the Magic Phoenix Empire, Timber Deity Empire and Holy Dragon Empire unite, their defense's range will be wider. The human army led by Alyssa will be fully devoted to it, and even that won't be enough. So, the spiritual race army will be sent to the frontlines. It won't cover the whole area though because their numbers are still not enough. So, Alyssa will certainly send the spiritual army to the most important positions. If we analyze it carefully, we can guess where she positioned the spiritual race army. In this way, we can have the upper hand. Of course, when you look at it from the surface, we are indeed in a disadvantageous situation. We will completely lose the home court advantage..." Rocky clearly explained.

"In other words, the purpose of giving up our control over the Magic Phoenix Empire's defense is to force Alyssa to expand their defense and scatter their forces. It will definitely look like they have the upper hand. But in fact, it's more convenient for us since we can plan an alternative attack while the enemy cannot possibly defend effectively," Marcia finally concluded.

"Yes, that's it. But knowing Alyssa, she must have thought of this already. We must assume that she had carefully considered the deployment of their troops. So, we must pretend to be passive at first. We can't take action until we have a complete understanding of her military deployment," Rocky quickly added.

"But if the Magic Phoenix Empire is unwilling to cooperate, then our plan will be in vain!" Isis mentioned the most important point that they had to consider.

"I'm afraid that the queen of the Magic Phoenix Empire won't agree to this," Bryant said with utmost certainty.

"So, we have to try our best to persuade her," Rocky said seriously.

"Whom should we send then?" Marcia couldn't help but glance at Rocky when she asked this.

"I will go and see her myself," Rocky firmly said. He knew that if they wanted to persuade the Magic Phoenix Empire's queen, he had to do it in person. Their whole plan depended now on his personality and charm to persuade her.

As time was pressing, it was also important to make the queen cooperate with them to break the stalemate as soon as possible. So, Rocky left for the Magic Phoenix Empire that night. Of course, he also brought Erica with him. Erica might be able to greatly help in the plan.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade the queen! Her Majesty would find it completely ridiculous and unacceptable to give up her own defense and let the empire fall into the hands of Alston." Erica was worried that Rocky's plan might fail this time. According to her understanding of the queen, it would be almost impossible for her to voluntarily give up the Magic Phoenix Empire. Her master would also not agree to this.

Felicia was incredibly happy to see Erica, because she hadn't seen her precious disciple for a long time.

The queen and Felicia were both smart people. They knew that Rocky and Erica didn't come just to catch up on the good old days, so they immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only the four of them in the hall.

"Prince Crimson, what brought you here? Is there an urgent situation that we need to know?" the queen straightforwardly asked. She already knew that the United Army was in a disadvantageous situation now. So, she felt that Rocky came here probably because he hoped that the Magic Phoenix Empire could send troops to support them.

"Now that you have asked, Your Majesty, I won't beat around the bush. I do have something especially important to discuss with you." Rocky went to the point.

"What can I do for you then? It must be something related to your army since you came here in person," the queen tentatively said.

"I think Your Majesty already knows the current situation of the Wild Spirit Land very well. The only forces who can fight against Alston now is the United Army. However, since the United Army had been restrained and our forces are insufficient, our previous plans have been greatly affected by the current situation, and can't be carried out. So, we intend to change our strategy. And this time, we need the full cooperation of your empire." Rocky prepared them for what he was about to suggest. After all, his proposal would probably make it difficult for the queen and Felicia to sit still, so he wanted them to be mentally prepared.

"If the United Army needs help, we're certainly obliged to do so. But Prince Crimson, you should also understand that our empire is on the verge of collapse. I'm afraid that we are not strong enough to do what you hope us to do," the queen said euphemistically. It meant that if it were just a small favor, the Magic Phoenix Empire would certainly help. But if it was a big favor, they were powerless to render assistance even if they wanted to.
