Chapter 294: King Erskine is a fake? (1/2)
Leo along with Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine were soon after bought to a group of 10 Flyingboats by Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris.
”You should know that it is impossible for us to take you inside the Silver royal family's castle because the moment we step inside Silver city a lot of people's eyes will immediately be focused on every movement we make, hence finding out about your identity would not be difficult for them. That is to say, getting inside the castle would be your problem.” Patriarch Walter Skull reminded.
Leo nodded his head as he replied in assurance, ”Ethan knows a way to secretly get inside the castle, you don't have to worry.”
”The castle has a few secret tunnels leading to different locations around or inside the castle. We will use one of those tunnels to safely get inside. Only a few people knew about these secret tunnels, not to mention use it, which means it will be possible to get inside the castle without anyone noticing.” Ethan explained.
”Okay, then let's go!” Patriarch Simon Honoris motioned with his hand for Leo and the others to get on the Flyingboat.
WHOOOOOOoooosh!
Soon after, the Flyingboats began flying up in the air before traveling towards Silver city.
Because their location wasn't really that far from Silver City, it only took a few minutes to arrive nearby the wall. And since the boat has the crest that represents the Snow Noble Household, the Silver royal family's soldiers stationed on the top of the walls allowed them to get inside freely.
Other people might view this action of the Silver royal family as stupid since they are letting a potential enemy to get inside their territory, but the truth was, the moment the 10 Flyingboats got inside the Silver city unless King Erskine allows them to get out, it would be next to impossible for them to leave the Silver city. Moreover, it is also impossible for the Snow Noble Household to think of causing chaos inside the Silver city because there are a lot of soldiers watching them from different corners. The latter would also be the problem that Leo and the others are going to face next, but fortunately, they already have the solution to solve it.
The moment the Flyingboats landed, a General from the Silver royal family immediately greeted them with hundreds of soldiers following behind.
”Greetings to Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris, I'm General Herbert of the 10th Silver Division. King Erskine has tasked me to lead you to meet him in the castle.” A man wearing silver armor named General Herbert greeted.
The name Silver Division is the name of the Silver royal family's army. The Silver Division has 10 different Divisions, each one being led by 10 Generals called the Silver Generals, with the 10th Silver Division being the weakest and the 1st Silver Division being the strongest. Aside from the Silver General, each Silver Division has 10,000 soldiers with 10 Captains called the Silver Captain, plus 1,000 people in Logistics.
Aside from the Silver Division, there also exists the Gold Division, or otherwise more known as the elite army of the Silver royal family. The Gold Division has 4 different Divisions respectively lead by 4 Commanders of Silver Kingdom, specifically the dead Commander Decker of the Southeast Fortress, Commander Nov of the East Fortress, and the other two fallen Commanders of Southern Fortress and Southwest Fortress.
Despite losing 3 Commanders though, the Gold Division actually still exists, and they haven't even lost a single soldier yet, since they have long been stationed in the Silver city ever since the beginning of the war. The Gold Divison is currently under the leadership of Commander Nov, the last remaining Commander of the Silver Kingdom, and Crown Prince Edward, the two of them respectively, lead 2 Gold Divisions. Each Gold Division has 20,000 elite soldiers, with 20 Generals called the Gold General, 200 Captains called the Gold Captain, plus 2,000 people in Logistics.
”Lead the way,” Patriarch Walter Skull nodded his head as he motioned for General Herbert to lead the way.
”Right this way,” General Herbert turned around before leading all of his soldiers towards the castle of the Silver royal family. Following behind them was Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris with a few men with them.
The moment they left, the people of Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris suddenly disembarked the Flyingboats as they quickly began preparing to create a camp all around the 10 Flyingboats.
Setting up a camp wasn't actually necessary, since they can actually just rest inside the Flyingboats, but in order to give Leo and the others a chance to get inside the sewer system, they first needed a way to distract the Silver royal family's soldiers current watching over them right now.
”Sir Leo, we have finally found a drainage lid that will lead to the sewer system.” A soldier reported to Leo.
”Good!” Leo nodded as he then turned towards Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine, ”Me, Charlotte, and Ethan will go rescue Veronica, while Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Princess Elaine will wait until we return. If we don't return, then it is the responsibility of you three to report to the others about our whereabouts, understood?”
”Please be careful, alright?” Cassandra said to Leo worriedly.
”Don't be reckless, if you see that the situation is dangerous, just run. Your life is more important.” Elizabeth reminded.
”You both don't need to worry about Leo, I will protect him!” Charlotte assured.
Leo just nodded his head in response to them. To be honest, even he wasn't sure whether he can return alive, that's why he didn't dare bring Cassandra and Elizabeth with him in the first place. But that won't hold him back from trying to save Veronica.
