Chapter 646: The situation everyone feared the most (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
It didn't take that long for the third game, called the 'Stairs to Heaven' to begin.
On the Mischievous Lion Guild's side, Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel were automatically assigned to participate in the third game 'Stairs to Heaven' as Leo would be participating in the fourth game and the fifth game himself.
Unlike the first game 'Hide and Seek' and the second game 'The Maze', the third game 'Stairs to Heaven' didn't require Cassandra's team and the others from both Orcborg and Selina's team to kill any members of the Naughty Elves organization. This was because according to Uncle Elfin they would be personally making a move in this game by using the challenges of the 'Stairs to Heaven'.
Leo, Orcborg, and Selina long already understood this arrangement and they didn't have any concerns. So after sending their respective teams to participate, they then quickly proceeded to the control room along with Bagley. They wanted to watch thoroughly as to how the Evergreen royal family would handle the members of the Naughty Elves organization, while at the same time they would also be required to provide some small assistance, such as pointing those members.
Apparently, the exact people who are assigned by the Evergreen royal family to make a move against the members of the Naughty Elves organization were those Mages that had been appearing in the first game 'Hide and Seek' and the second game 'The Maze'.
It wasn't really that strange since those people were clearly trained soldiers assigned by the Evergreen royal family in the Victory Arena for this kind of responsibility right from the very beginning of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.
As a matter of fact, Leo and the others in the control room long already noticed this since there were not that many soldiers assigned in the Victory Arena, and even the majority of them were given the mission to look for members of the Naughty Elves organization in the spectator stands along with the other allies who didn't participate in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. So who else would they be sending aside from those dozens of Mages before, right?
Given the current circumstances, there wasn't really that much for Leo to see nor to expect in the third game 'Stairs to Heaven'. Because of that, he can't help but wonder about what Charlotte and the others are doing right now.
.....
At this moment, Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, Edward, and Chief Lago along with the rest of the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild were gathered together inside a secret chamber in the northern region of the Emerald City under the supervision of Elfin the Fifth and Elvis who's presence was still hidden from anyone else other than them.
In front of them, they could vaguely see the dense and vibrant forest of the Emerald Forest through a small one-way mirror located in an inconspicuous corner of the northern wall.
While looking in that direction, all of their faces were showing solemn expressions.
That is because the once peaceful and beautiful place in front of them is now covered by a strong and deadly atmosphere of bloodlust and killing intent, as an uncountable amount of Magical Beasts threatens to charge to the wall of the Emerald City.
Everyone long already expected such a thing to happen as Leo had informed them about the possibility of this taking place in the previous meeting. However, seeing it with their very own eyes is a completely different story compared to just thinking and imagining about it.
The feelings they felt initially were only superficial feelings of fear and shock, which, honestly, speaking, didn't really affect them that much. But now their inner system is trembling as they felt terrified and aghast while they stared at the actual situation happening right in the very front of them.
Fortunately, because of the powerful deterrence brought by the Emerald Tree located nearby the Emerald City, these Magical Beasts were feeling hesitant and fearful of approaching any closer to the wall. They could only stay under the dark cover of trees while patiently waiting for something.
This sight wasn't only found in the Emerald City, but also in the other cities of the Emerald Tree Kingdom as well, except for the four cities located right at the very center of the territory.
All the Noble Households had the majority of their soldiers already assigned around the city walls in preparation for the expected war to happen against these numerous Magical Beasts.
Observing the behavior of these Magical Beasts closely, one could easily perceive that they have all been affected by Savage Fox Potion, causing them to become savages like wild beasts.
