Chapter 226: Hundred Hills (1/2)

It was only in the late afternoon that Ash and her army of slaves left the Southeast Fortress to begin the planned attack to the Southern Fortress.

The army was made up of exactly 2,000 slaves of different races, so they looked like a bunch of ants in all sorts of shapes when Leo was looking up at the top of the Commander's Palace.

”Now that they finally left, are you guys prepared?” Leo closed the book that he was reading as he turned to look at Princess Elaine, Charlotte, Ahmed, Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, and those other 5 Divisions members who were tasked before to shoot the Cloud Piercer arrows straight towards Commander Decker, exactly 10 people that Leo doesn't even bother knowing about their names and had instead called them Number 1 to Number 10.

”I'm prepared!” Princess Elaine said as she clenched her fist in determination.

”I don't even need to prepare just to guard a bunch of you!” Charlotte said, seemingly sounding nonchalant about it.

Brad and Ahmed pulled their backpacks to show that they're fully ready.

Venice turned to look at Matt and Jeffrey before the three of them nodded their heads to express that they are ready, which was quickly followed after by Number 1 to Number 10.

”Then let's leave when the night falls!” Leo said as he walked downstairs to prepare himself. Amongst everyone one, he was actually the only one who hasn't yet finished with his preparation. Fortunately, with his act, no one was able to notice.

Also, there was actually no need for him to prepare a lot of things since teacher Homer's Storage Ring contains almost everything he needed right now, though except for food, clothes, and some Magical resources that he would be bringing with him so that he can cultivate while on the trip.

By the way, the Magical resources that they have bought from the Twilight Bears territory were already put into the Storage rooms at the Training Ground.

.....

When the night finally came, Leo along with the others sneakily left the Southeast Fortress using a secret tunnel located around the Business District.

He was purposely doing this mission in secret so that no one would be able to leak any information that there is currently no leader inside the Southeast Fortress right now, which would obviously make their opponents attack the Southeast Fortress once they found out since taking the territory back would be relatively easy with only General Sheng and General Alan defending. Even General Sheng and General Alan don't have any idea about his mission, and it was also not a problem where they would be reporting whenever a dangerous situation happened because he had prepared Boss Kent and Felix to handle everything.

Leo then took out a map the moment they got outside the walls, as he informed everyone once again of the path they would be taking to go to Heart city, ”We would be going to cross the Hundred Hills to reach Heart city. We go straight this way, stop over here to rest, and then continue with the trip once again.”

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.

Leo then closed the map and began walking towards the northwest direction.

Hundred Hills, a wilderness located in the northwest of Southeast Fortress. Just like what its name suggested, it is a wilderness made up of hundreds of hills. This territory is considered as a Purple zone by the Silver Kingdom because this place is extremely hard due to the fact that traveling inside the Hundred Hills requires them to either climb up a hill or to walk in the middle of two hills which is obviously a very good opportunity for an ambush.
