Anyways, Leo wasn\'t afraid that Ethan, Chief Lago, Sebastian, and Dan would be at risk of dying because once they notice something was wrong, with their cultivation, it would be easy for them to simply jump down the wall and escape away.
Although this would also mean that their operation about the wall has completely failed, that is just a small matter to worry about, because if they can\'t claim a small part of the wall, then they\'d just plant some Chaos stones instead and blow the entire wall altogether. Though in the end of this war, it would cost them so much more to repair all the damage caused in the Silver city, and this might even cause the Silver city to not be possible to be rebuilt anymore because the detonation of Chaos stones would cause an area to turn into a wasteland, and with a lot of Chaos stones being detonated, it would cost not only money to repair the damage but manpower and also a lot of Magical resources that can combat the Chaos Mana, since such kind of Mana is the epitome of disaster.
Aside from that, this might also cause the Black organization to find out that their trap has been found out. Even if it\'s just a possibility, he still doesn\'t want to choose to do that unless it was the only remaining option he could choose.
After 20 minutes or so, Leo arrived back outside the wall. He then went to signal Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice to send the second group.
However, this time, Leo decided to take Matt and Venice with him, leaving Jeffrey to manage the rest.
Truth be told, aside from training his future army, he also wants to train Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice to be a Leader figure as well, so that he will have capable Leaders for his army in the future. Of course, he didn\'t forget about Number One to Number Ten. They will definitely have a good place in his future army, as for now, it\'s more important to focus on the more important stuffs.
"Let\'s go," Leo said before leading the way back to the one-story house.
The moment they arrived, there were only 38 men remaining as the rest has already gone to the top of the wall. It was obvious to see that they have failed a few times based on the numbers remaining.
"We\'ve lost 7 men the moment you left due to different mistakes..." One of the men reported.
Leo was surprised the moment he heard the report. He really didn\'t expect that they would actually only lose that few of men. In his expectations, he thought they would lose 20 or a few more. After all, the Silver royal family\'s soldiers weren\'t that weak, their were times when they have 3 Star level with them, or even 4 Star level, so for his men to only lost 7 people from the moment he left and returned, it was an above great feat.
"It seems like I\'ve underestimated my men..." Leo thought to himself as he nodded his head to express that everything was okay.
"Matt, watch what the remaining men would do, and then lead the rest to do the same, do you understand?" Leo turned to look at Matt.
"Okay!" Matt nodded his head in affirmation.
"But take note, just tell them what to do one time, tell them the mistakes you have noticed to correct them and to also avoid them from repeating the mistake again, and don\'t repeat it twice. I don\'t want them to be over-reliant in their Leader." Leo didn\'t forget to remind Matt of his intention.
"Understood!" Matt quickly understood what Leo meant.
Leo then turned to look at Venice and said, "Venice, you will be in charge of guiding the rest over here, you know the way already, right?"
"As a member of the Eagle Division, I can memorize the way we took in the sewer system easily. Leave the rest to me." Venice replied.
"Good! I\'ll leave the rest to you." Leo nodded his head.
"By the way, not to be rude, but for you to leave everything to us to handle, are you perhaps going to do something more important than this? Would it be dangerous? Do you need any help?" Matt, who quickly realized that Leo wants to do something else, can\'t help asking.
Hearing Matt\'s concern, Leo simply smiled and replied, "Don\'t worry it won\'t be dangerous, I just want to see where all the Silver royal family\'s soldiers are going so I can prepare for any variables that will come into our way."
"Oh..." Matt and Venice quickly understood what Leo meant. The soldiers leaving the wall were obviously going to take their break, but the question here is where do they go to take a break. A nearby outpost? A temporary Barracks? or maybe the actual Barracks itself. If it\'s the first two questions, then it would be okay for them to do this because maybe each part of the wall has a designated place for their soldiers to rest, which they can easily replace as this operation went on and on. However, if it is the last question, then this operation wouldn\'t be that easy anymore, because obviously, the actual Barracks itself would be where all the Silver royal family\'s soldiers stationed at the south wall would be gathered at. With the current situation of Silver city right now, it would be impossible for them to repeat the same strategy that they have done back at Southeast Fortress, specifically catching the soldiers of the Barracks off guard.
"I\'ll leave everything to the both of you to handle, just be sure to be careful because all of your comrade\'s lives on top of the wall all lies on both of your hands right now. One mistake, and it wouldn\'t just be your life at risk, but the others as well." Leo patted Matt and Venice\'s shoulder before leaving.
What Matt and Venice had thought was indeed what Leo had thought. If it\'s just a small outpost or a temporary Barracks, then the only thing he would need to do is to guide all of his men to slowly replace all the Silver royal family\'s soldiers with his own. But, if it\'s the actual Barracks itself, it would be out of his current capability right now to defeat 100,000 soldiers with only 1,500 men, even with the help of all of his Elementals and using dozens or so strategies he could possibly think of. It\'s just impossible for him to successfully invade a Barracks, especially with all the 10 Silver Divisions in place at the south of Silver city right now, not to mention they are all on guard due to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance just in front of them at this moment. Though that doesn\'t mean their operation would hence be impossible to continue. If it really turns to be the actual Barracks, then he would need to thoroughly guide everything so as to not get found out by the Silver royal family\'s soldiers. Once they get found out, it won\'t only be this operation at risk, but so is the relocation of the ordinary civilians.
Leo followed the way the Silver royal family\'s soldiers took until 10 minutes or so later, maybe around 500 to 1,000 meters of traveling, before he finally arrived nearby a medium-sized two-story house.
This two-story house has a few horse-pulled wagons outside bringing in the supplies the Logistics personnel has bought from their main warehouse in preparation for this battle, while inside has the Silver royal family\'s soldiers resting and a few others were outside watching on guard, a total of 500 soldiers, talking, playing some card games, and so on. Overall, this place wasn\'t like stress or high-alert compared to the top of the wall. This is only reasonable, after all this place\'s main purpose was for the Silver royal family\'s soldiers to rest after guarding the walls for so long.
Fortunately, the place where the Silver royal family\'s soldiers were currently resting at turns out to just be an ordinary outpost. Nothing was of the need to be wary about here aside from the fact that this place obviously has another Captain in-charged of handling the matters. This wasn\'t really that big of a problem anyways, since he could just repeat what he had done back at the wall.
Although this time he couldn\'t bring the Captain to another storage room or something and kill him, but with the right kind of plan, he would still be able to kill the Captain. What\'s even more important to consider right now was, the situation of the Captain at this very moment was similar to most of his assassination target in the past, inside a house, surrounded by a lot of guards, the only difference is those people, although were nothing compared to Mages or people capable of controlling Mana, was still of noteworthy character, specifically, they would be someone of high status in a city, a businessman, or even a wanted target. Nevertheless, all of them were still killed by him, so as not to mention this Captain.
Creeping slowly, Leo finally arrived in a house nearby the two-story house, though in his location right now he can only see the first floor and only a bit of the second floor due to his location just being a one-story house.
