The Medallion novel Chapter 1514

The most interesting thing about the team fight was that they were allowed to fight with each other. Since all four teams shared the same tasks, they would need to compete for the sole task item from their mission. Of course, if one team wanted to get ahead, the abilities of the team leader would be crucial in determining how the strength of their team could be maximized.

An hour before the start of the first round of the newcomer contest, the roster for all teams was announced. Soon, all the strong warriors at the King Realm were seated with their teammates.

Rocky got assigned to the red team with Carla, while Eunice was in the blue team.

Given that all four teams had senior King Realm masters, especially ones belonging in the top ten on the ranking list, deciding which one of them would command the team was tough since they were all equally matched.

Nevertheless, some of them were already born with admirable leadership and were backed up by the forces behind them.

For that reason, it didn’t take long before the leaders for each team got selected. The blue team was going to be led by Moore, and Carla would be commanding the red team.

Not a minute later, the first round commenced.

The team fight was held in a very famous maze in the Sky-suppressing School called the Mirage Maze.

Just as the name implied, all kinds of mirages awaited anyone who entered the maze. Needless to say, they would surely struggle to figure out if what they were seeing was real or not.

On top of that, spiritual beasts filled the entire Mirage Maze. Their strength ran from the Spirit Realm to the King Realm, and they were all ready to attack the warriors who set foot in the maze whenever they wanted to. Therefore, despite it being only the first round, all four teams would be in for a huge challenge.

Without wasting any time, the four teams headed for the different entrances of the Mirage Maze.

The maze was built between the valley cliffs with complex terrain, so the spectators who got stationed at the top of the cliffs could get the best view of the maze.

At the entrance, the disciples of the four teams each took a deep breath as they waited for their leader’s cue.

Finally, all teams, led by their leaders, entered the maze at top speed and started carrying out their tasks.

The mission of the red team was to collect five items in the Mirage Maze, but they would be considered done if they managed to acquire three of them. Among those three items, two must be obtained from spiritual beasts with Spiritual Infant at the advanced stage. Clearly, it wasn’t an easy task at all.

“Listen up. We’ll be starting with the simple ones first. It would be best if we can quickly and successfully collect the other three since two of these items will definitely be difficult to acquire. Keep in mind that the other three teams also have the same tasks as us, so we’d better have a backup plan.” Without further ado, Carla started drawing up their plan.

“Yes, Miss Yu. We’re at your command.”

“Indeed. Just say the word. We’re willing to go through fire and water for you.”

“Just tell us if you need anything! We’ll do what we can to win!”

Sure enough, Carla was greatly respected by her team members as their leader.

“Well, then. Let’s start assigning roles.” Carla was born to be a leader. With just a wave of her hand, she instantly arranged the whole team into eight or nine members per group. They were divided into the vanguard, the main force, and the backups. Apparently, she put the weaker ones into the backups.

Despite their team leader’s composure, the morale of the red team undeniably got affected since they failed to secure their first task item. Several members started blaming each other—especially the ones in the backups—thinking that their incapacities were dragging the whole team down.

Before long, disputes within the team intensified. Many of the King Realm warriors even refused to cooperate, so the team had lots of trouble making headway.

As much as Carla wanted to put an end to the growing conflict, there was nothing she could do. After all, these powerful masters at the King Realm were instinctively arrogant. Even if she said something, there would be no assurance that they would calm down.

Witnessing all the contention, Rocky discreetly shook his head. He had been keeping a low profile since the other members expressed their resentments towards him.

However, at this rate, he thought that the red team would be in grave danger if they went on like this. That was why, when they had just repelled a wave of spiritual beasts and stood still to rest, he finally had the chance to walk up to Carla.

“Oh, what’s up?” Carla asked, surprised to see Rocky approaching. Her arms were crossed over her chest.

“We can’t go on like this. If we still don’t get our hands on the second task item, I’m afraid everyone in the team might flip out. We have to do something. Otherwise, we might lose our chance of entering the last round,” Rocky reminded in a hushed tone.

With her brows almost pushed together, Carla also narrowed her eyes when she heard what Rocky said. “That’s true. What do you suggest?” Apparently, they were thinking the same thing.

“Punish someone as a warning to others. Don’t give out any commands when the next wave of spiritual beasts attack and just let everyone defend themselves right on the spot. That way, we can all find out which of the arrogant ones keep on talking the talk but can’t walk the walk. After that, you can show them your strength and maintain your authority.” Rocky shared his suggestions, keeping his voice muted to keep others from hearing.

When Rocky finished talking, Carla glanced at him and asked, “Do you think that will work? And… are you sure that’s a good idea?”
