Time continues to pass...

Soon, the sky began raining blood while there was now a long river of blood on the ground.

Countless amount of bodies littered around the ground covered in blood in all sorts of different ways. 

Some died after seriously getting injured.

Some were crippled or dismembered into pieces by heavy and sharp weapons. 

Some were impaled by a weapon onto something. 

Some were turned into a meat paste after receiving a direct attack from the war weapons. 

And some turned into ashes due to a powerful Magic spell.

Honestly, it was a really gruesome and merciless sight to look at. However, all the soldiers who were still fighting seemed to not be affected by any of these. It was probably because as soldiers, they are long already very used to seeing such a sight, or maybe even something much worse than now.

As of now, no one knows for sure the exact total amount of deaths on the battlefield yet, including both of the sides, as everyone was totally focused on fighting. It was as if like they are machines that know no rest and would keep on running as long as they still did not broke, or in their case right now, ultimately die. 

Fortunately, there were eventually some signs of the war finally coming to its eventful end.

The number of members of the Naughty Elves organization was dwindling at a much faster rate than before now that there were only a few of them remaining fighting on the battlefield. It was undoubtedly a really hopeless situation for them, and they clearly knew of that, but regardless there seems to still be no inkling of giving up for those members with a firm and strong loyalty to the Naughty Elves organization. They just keep on fighting hard until eventually dropping down dead on the ground. What's even weirder was, they were all wearing strange smiles on their faces as if telling the Evergreen royal family that they should not celebrate yet because the war has still not ended.

Seeing their smiles, Elfin the Fifth and the others can't help somewhat thinking of the same thing as well. After all, the fight until now wasn't really something that they can consider as difficult. To be honest, it doesn't even feel like they are really fighting against the Naughty Elves organization.

"Something feels off about this," Elfin the Fifth informed the leaders of the right-wing soldiers, and Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild.

"I know," Charlotte nodded her head in agreement. She continued, "I've been feeling like this from the moment we easily destroyed the Naughty Elves organization in the northern region. It is really strange as if something big is about to come soon,"

"As much as I don't like what you are saying right now, but my mind is also telling me the same thing as well," Ethan expressed.

"I don't feel safe," Elaine stick closer to her husband, Ethan.

"Let's just hope that it doesn't turn out to be true," Edward slightly shuddered from the thought of fighting an even worse situation than what they have just gone through.

While Elfin the Fifth and Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild were in the midst of their discussion, Second Prince Elmore and the others from the eastern region slowly approached them.

"Older brother," Elmore called out while walking in their direction. By his side, the allies positioned in the eastern region could be seen following closely.

"How's your side, Second Brother," Elfin the Fifth asked.

"Not that good, but also can't be considered to be bad. How about your side?" Elmore replied.

"Likewise," Elfin the Fifth paused as he motioned his hand for them to come closer. The moment they reached a close vicinity, he then informed them of what they have just felt.

"So all of you have also noticed? It really felt like the Naughty Elves organization this time is much weaker compared to the last war a decade or so ago," One of the allies who had come with Elmore said.

"Exactly. It doesn't even feel like we are fighting against the Naughty Elves organization at all, but rather a mere Guild war,"

"If only I knew that it would be like this, then I would have definitely just sent the Executives of my Guild to come here and fight,"

As the others were all expressing their respective thoughts about the war that they expected to end in a disappointing manner, a Captain from the left wing suddenly arrived. His face was full of worry, which one could easily assume that something wrong and dangerous had just happened. By the side of the eastern region, another Captain also came similarly wearing the same expression as the former.

It was at this very moment that all of their assumptions were unfortunately proven to be true. No matter how much they don't want it to happen, the moment the two Captains arrived, it had already meant that it is currently taking place as they speak. 

There was no need to ask for what happened exactly as the faces of the two Captains alone were already more than enough to answer their question. In addition to that, considering the location they have just come from, they can already make the most accurate guess possible.

Given their current circumstances right now, if there is really anything that could possibly go wrong, then it would without a doubt be the Magical Beasts on the other side.

Not waiting for the two Captains to say anything, everyone immediately disperses to their respective area of responsibility.

Elfin the Fifth and Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild swiftly flew back to the northern region and straight towards the left-wing soldiers.

While, on the other hand, Elmore and the allies assigned to the eastern region proceeded towards the south.

The two Captains who were left behind could only hope deep inside their hearts that with their reinforcement, everything could still be solved.
