Chapter 252: Journey to Heart city part 2 (1/2)

Hearing Leo's words, the two soldiers looked at each other before nodding their heads.

”That place is indeed possible since no battle has ever happened over there before.” One of the soldiers said.

”Although the Heart city is the main base of the Mischievous Lion organization, it seems like they don't plan to attack the Blue Coral city yet.” The other soldier added.

”Oh, okay then!” Leo said, ”But, would it be alright for the two of you to guide us? You see, it's possible that they might not allow us to pass, right? But with you both, I think it would be possible.”

The two guards thought for a bit as they then suddenly remembered how Leo had given 1 gold coin tip to practically every vendor from the beginning till this present moment.

As soldiers, they would actually only receive 1 silver coin every day, which is 30 silver coins in a month's time. But those vendors that Leo had bought stuff from had basically received 4 months' worth of their salary.

”Okay!”

”Sounds fair to me!”

Princess Elaine then clasped her hand together as she said, ”Then, let's go!”

.....

After dozens of minutes of walking, Leo and the others finally arrived in front of the west gate.

Unlike what Leo had expected at first, specifically, all the gates of the Blue Coral city being strict, it was actually the contrary as he has only found dozens of soldiers stationed in the west gate rather than hundreds. Moreover, most of them too, was actually not as alert as he had expected. Though he quickly realized that it should only be the west gate like this, considering what the soldier had said where there has still been no war happening over here.

The two soldiers that guided them talked to the people in-charged of the west gate before finally nodding their heads seemingly in agreement.

They then returned to Leo as one of the soldiers said, ”I've talked with them and they agreed with letting you out. Unfortunately though, because of how strict the Blue Coral city is at this moment, we can't assure you whether you will not get caught by oth-”

Before that soldier was able to finish, Leo immediately threw 5 gold coins to him, ”Is that enough?”

”Oh, it's more than okay!” That soldier nodded in delight.

”Don't worry, we would only be staying for a few minutes, just to have fun and the likes, we would be back soon.” Leo smiled.

”Then have a happy picnic!” The soldier said before motioning for the soldiers in-charged of the west gate to open up.

The moment Leo and the others finally distanced themselves far enough from the west gate, they immediately stopped with their act as they quickly went to the forest at the side in order to hide and wait up for the others.

Based on what they have agreed before, they would meet up at the north side of the west gate, specifically in a small forest with an open land surrounded by trees and a rock in the middle.

Moments later, Leo finally arrived in that place, Gretchen and her men, Margaret and the 9 others, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, and Number One to Number Ten was shockingly already long been waiting for them, which made Leo really astonished.

”How did you arrived before us?” Leo curiously asked.

”Didn't you guys used the secret tunnel?” Gretchen can't help asking.

The moment Leo heard Gretchen's reply, he really wanted to hit himself for forgetting about the existence of secret tunnels. He can't believe he just went through so much trouble, even waste tens of gold coins just to set-up a plan to leave Blue Coral city.

No use regretting though, since what's done is done.

”How about Blaze and the others?” Leo suddenly asked.

”They weren't following behind us, so I guess they would be arriving later.” Gretchen replied.

After waiting for more than an hour, everyone finally saw Blaze, Haze, Glaze, and their men's silhouette. Right now, all of their clothes were drenched and their hair's wet while being covered with dirt and leaves.

”Where have you guys been?” Gretchen asked while chuckling.

”Wait, tell me first, how did you guys leave?” Blaze replied.

”We used a secret tunnel.” Gretchen replied.

”How about you, Your Excellency, Leo?” Blaze turned to look at Leo.

”Through the west gate.” Leo replied.

”Damn, I can't believe we just went so much freaking trouble from swimming through the ocean, climbing a cliff, then crawling the bushes, waiting for the right time when no one is watching, before finally arriving in here...” Blaze shared how much effort they had just gone through in order to arrive in their meeting point, ”Yet you guys actually...”

Gaze suddenly smacked Blaze's head as he said, ”Look, I've told you repeatedly that we should have just looked for the secret tunnel, but no no no, let's do the hard way because the soldiers following behind us would definitely find out that we are members of the Mischievous Lion organization if we used the secret tunnel and not to mention we would also cause the others trouble if we do so. Look at them. They used the secret tunnels, and Excellency Leo's group even used the freaking west gate without any fear. You damn stupid Captain!”

Seeing them almost fighting, Glaze immediately pulled both of them far away from each other, ”Chill, as long as we have arrived, that's all that matters.”

”You stupid muscle head!” Blaze and Haze both kicked Glaze's side.

”.....”

At the side, Gretchen and Margaret can't help thinking of having popcorn while watching 3 brothers fighting with each other.

”What are you guys just standing for, quickly break them up!” Leo exclaimed to the people enjoying the show.
