The moment Leo and Ethan look into each other's eyes, they can't help themselves from chuckling as they both feel the same pain as the other had felt after being beaten up by their own women, specifically women for the former while woman for the latter since they have a different amount of woman beating them up.

"You were also beaten up?" Ethan asked.

"Is this the reason why women are very scary?" Leo replied.

"Not just scary, they are dangerous as well."

"Indeed!"

"....."

The moment the soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance saw Leo and Ethan, they immediately stopped in their planning to stand up straight and saluted.

"Commander Leo, Vice-Commander Ethan!" The Generals of the Blue Fin Kingdom greeted.

"We apologize for causing such a mess, Commander Leo, Vice-Commander Ethan!" The Elders of Mischievous Lion organization and Guardians of Sword and Magic quickly apologized.

Hearing that, Leo simply waved his hand to say he doesn't mind it. With how many times he had fought in battles already in the past, he had long understood that in a battle there are times when they can be in the advantage or in the disadvantage. As long as the winner and loser haven't yet been decided, then it's still possible to change the current status.

"Yow, junior brother, you're finally here!" George called out to Leo.

"Took you long enough to get here!" Charles said.

"Tell me the current situation of the entire battle, in detail." Leo looked at his senior brother George and Charles.

"It's like this, the Black organization is using the buildings as covers from our war weapon's attack, hence rendering the war weapons almost ineffective, and they are also using the civilians as shields and sometimes act like civilians to get us off guard. It's really hindering us from winning because we just can't do any harm to the civilians, as that would be the same as saying that we are not different from the Black organization. Although in a battle as large as this there are times when we can't avoid that, but if we really start killing civilians as well, then where would the civilians go when there is no one left protecting them anymore since both sides would kill them?" George quickly reported.

"Exactly, it's so hard to take back our advantage!" Charles commented in irritation.

"Okay, then let's change the plans." Leo approached the table with the map of the inside of the Southern Fortress on top, "Assign soldiers to encircle the entire Southern Fortress except for the destroyed south gate. Then, assign the rest of the soldiers to focus only on rescuing the civilians."

"But, Commander Leo, what about the Black organization? Who would fight against them?" The Guardians asked.

"No need to worry, the members of the Mischievous Lion organization present here would handle the Black organization." Leo replied.

"But, would that really work? There are still tens of thousands of them remaining, but the Mischievous Lion organization only has thousands of members at most, not to mention they have the geographical advantage as well!" One of the Generals asked.

"What kind of people do you think the Mischievous Lion organization has?" Leo turned to look at that General.

"Assassins, Commander Leo!" The General replied.

Suddenly, the Elders can't help nodding their heads in understanding as they realized where Leo was going to.

"And which place exactly do you think the assassins are best at?" Leo asked another question.

"That is..." The General wanted to reply 'In the city' but George and Charles cut him off.

"We are good in the city!" George and Charles replied at the same time.

Hearing that answer, everyone finally understood what Leo was aiming to do.

"But still, the numbers of the members of the Mischievous Lion organization we have here is still a problem." One of the Elders voiced out one of their crucial problems right now. What's even worse was, most of the assassins were recuperating because the majority of people that received an injury were from the Mischievous Lion organization. It wasn't actually unreasonable, because the battlefield was an open space, hence as an assassin, they were not able to use their advantage unlike the soldiers from the Blue Fin Kingdom and Sword and Magic.

What that Elder has said was indeed correct. Even if the assassins are very good when it comes to fighting inside the city, they were still at a disadvantage when it comes to numbers, which simply means one assassin would most likely be fighting against ten or more members from their opponent's side.

Although for assassins that is just a minor problem, considering most of their missions would almost all involved them in a numerical disadvantage, but right now every manpower is crucial in winning the battle. Therefore, the decisions they should implement should take into consideration the chances of not losing a lot of manpower.

"Don't worry about that, we are not aiming to kill them, but to send them over..." Leo slowly pointed at the south, "Here!"

Seeing that, everyone immediately understood what Leo aimed to do.

At the very beginning of this battle, all of the soldiers from the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance were really curious as to why they have decided to destroy the wall at the south of the Southern Fortress, which then right after caused the Magical Beast to attack. But now, they finally understood why; it was simply to cut off the best place to retreat for the Black organization and at the same create a pit of Magical Beast.

With Magical Beast rampaging around the south, once they block the east, north, and west gate, the Black organization would then have no other place remaining to leave once cornered aside from the south gate. Though they would obviously not do that, since that would be akin to suicide, but what if they push them, or rather force them to go south?

As to how they would do that, it's very, very, very simple.

Looking at the map right now, the Black organization might look like they are at an advantage. But if they really look closely, they would soon discover that they are actually like sitting ducks waiting for the gun-point to shoot at them. Simply put, as long as this battle continues on, the Black organization who has brought themselves to be stuck in the middle of the Southern Fortress would sooner or later lose. The only difference is, they are taking with them a lot of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance soldiers in the process.

However, what if they slowly minimize the Black organization's space of movements? To be more specific, although the Black organization was now like sitting ducks, it is still possible for them to move, but what if they slowly but surely take away that by simply moving forward and forward and forward, again and again, from the east, north, and west, until eventually they only have so little space left to move.

That's not all, because although that would guarantee them winning, it would still cause them a lot of casualties because the Black organization can simply look for one location and try to breakthrough from that.

And that's exactly where the assassins of the Mischievous Lion organization comes to work. They would eliminate all the possibility of the Black organization from breaking at one point by simply fighting them at the same ground, specifically inside the perimeter which at the same time disrupt them from gathering together since doing that would attract more assassins to their current location.

It doesn't only end with that. Those soldiers focusing on rescuing the civilians would also start decreasing the Black organization's chances of using the civilians to their advantage.

Lastly, to further minimize the casualties, the majority of the soldiers would push the Black organization to the pit of Magical Beast located at the south, which would then make Magical Beast as a replacement for the manpower needed for the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance in fighting against the Black organization.

"Pass my order, create a wall of soldiers in the east, north, and west." The Elders, Generals, and Guardians quickly pass the orders.

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

The moment the wall of soldiers was finally formed, the Guardians and Generals then took the first line and ordered them to focus on rescuing the civilians while the majority would slowly push forward.

"Commander Leo, it's done! It's now time to release the lion freely in the wild!" One of the Elders said to Leo.

"I like your metaphor." Leo nodded, "Release the Lions!"

With that said and done, all the members of the Mischievous Lion organization immediately went inside the perimeter to start killing the Black organization.

Just like the metaphor that one of the Elders had used, the assassins who were released to the city really looked like lions that were released in their natural habitat. They started running from roof to roof, jumping from windows to windows, or even doing all sorts of parkours and stuffs to travel from house to house. It was really unlike fighting in a flat land where they have limited ways of maneuvering themselves and using their ability to the maximum potential.

"So then, I got to go and also follow with my pack!" Leo waved his hand before dashing away to follow with the members of the Mischievous Lion organization. Anyway, there was no need for him to worry about the rest of the soldiers because Ethan, George, Charles, and a few capable others were there to handle the changes of the battlefield. Also, he needs to get away from Cassandra and the others in case they would find another reason to personally cause trouble to him.

If it was in the past, he would have definitely not joined in the fun because it's so troublesome, especially when there are people who can do it for him, which means there is no need for him to do anything anymore.

However, right now he was aiming to become stronger. He needs to keep on training, keep on adapting in using Magic, and also to get used in his 1 Star cultivation because ever since he had broken through he still hasn't found himself a good chance to test the full potential of his new power. The last time back at Underground World of the Blue Coral city was him only testing the new power in its basic, not in detail. But with this battle happening right now, he finally has the perfect opportunity to test it. Although it would be risky, he has his Elementals with him, so he can at least minimize the risk of testing it in a life-or-death situation.

Now that he had mentioned the Elementals, he was also dying to know the new changes of his Elementals, specifically all the Elements of Elementals. He had just discovered a while ago that they can now move their mouth, hence he can't help himself from wanting to know what else has changed and what else could possibly change in the near future.

While Leo was moving from place to place, he was also summoning different Elements of Elementals at the same time. First, it was the Wind Elemental to scout ahead, then Earth Elemental for defense, then Nature Elemental for support, and lastly Water Elemental and Fire Elemental for assault.

Not long after, he was now surrounded with all of the Elements of Elementals he could possibly summon as of this moment. In the near future, he would definitely summon more Elements of Elementals.

"Now then, let's begin testing the new things I've gained after breaking through to the 1 Star." Leo smiled mischievously while tightly holding the Death Wake Dagger in his hand.
