The reason why the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild were gathered together with Elfin the Fifth, is because they are considered as one of the Evergreen royal family's trump cards that they have prepared in this war against the Naughty Elves organization.
With the presence of Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, Edward, and Chief Lago in the war against the Naughty Elves organization, they could easily tilt the battle to the Evergreen royal family's favor, or even best, allow them to win the war. That is because their cultivation level is really high compared to the majority of the manpower on both on both sides, especially Ethan who is a Galaxy-level Mage.
Although there are a considerable amount of people with Galaxy-level cultivation in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, those people couldn't just be dispatched whenever King Elfin the Fourth wanted, unless if they are loyal with the Evergreen royal family, to begin with. After all, when two people are equally strong with one another, it would be really difficult for one of them to order the other.
In addition to that, the majority of those people also belonged to other forces in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, such as the Noble Households, or powerful organizations like the Elves Secret organization. Accordingly, they will only move when the interest of the group they belong to is being threatened.
As for Charlotte and the others, although they aren't loyal to the Evergreen royal family, rather they are loyal to the Mischievous Lion Guild, they could at least order them around except to die for them.
And since they are considered as the trump cards of the Evergreen royal family against the Naughty Elves organization, hence they are required to be dispatched in the best possible method that could benefit the Evergreen royal family to the fullest.
That is exactly what they are currently discussing with each other in this room right now.
”...From your position, you will circle around to the rear of the enemy line and make contact with the members of the Naughty Elves organization hiding over there and are using those Magical Beasts in front of us as their shield against us,” Elfin the Fifth instructed while moving the piece representing the Mischievous Lion Guild over to the back of their enemy line, he then explained, ”Your main mission though is not to eliminate them, but to scope out the enemy position. In short, a reconnaissance mission,”
”Once you are done with that, you are clear to proceed back to the base and report your findings. After that, we will make further preparations once we have their clear positions, is everything clear?” Elfin the Fifth finished briefing Charlotte and the others about the plan.
”I have a question,” Sebastian quickly raised his hand.
”What is it, Sebastian?” Elfin the Fifth turned to look at Sebastian.
”Can we kill them?” Sebastian asked expectedly.
”Yes you can, as long as they will not notice,” Elfin the Fifth responded.
”That...” Sebastian said, his lips forming into a pout.
”Just forget about killing them for now, Sebastian,” Dan patted Sebastian's shoulder. He continued, ”Besides, we will soon be given a chance to kill as many as we can,”
”I understand,” Sebastian nodded his head in acknowledgment. Since it was difficult to kill them without getting noticed by the other members of the Naughty Elves organization, then he'll just wait for the right time.
At the side, Dan can't help heaving a sigh of relief after hearing Sebastian's response. Considering that he is always Sebastian's support, it would without a doubt be troublesome for him if the latter hadn't chosen to listen to their words.
”Anyways-”
All of a sudden, they heard a loud and crisp explosion inside the room located to their right side.
Instantly, the wall separating the two rooms from one another was destroyed, causing plenty of debris to fly all over the place, and a thick cloud of dust to form and block their view in front.
In spite of the cloud of dust, though, Charlotte and the others, with their high cultivation level, were still able to clearly identify the aftermath of the explosion.
Their allies who were inside that room are now suffering from different levels of injuries, ranging from slightly injured to seriously injured, with some of them, who were located close to the door, dead already.
”What happened?!” Elfin the Fifth loudly asked everyone while waving his hand in front, trying to clear the smoke in front of his face.
As soon as Elfin the Fifth's voice died down, the door to their room was suddenly forcefully opened by a vague figure before that person threw something inside.
Pang! Pang! Pang!
Soon, everyone could clearly see the bouncing item that was thrown inside their room. It was a black-colored sphere object with a fuse that has already been lightened up by the fire, indicating that it is going to explode soon.
It was a bomb!
Without any hesitation, Charlotte and the others swiftly covered the bomb with Mana to limit the scope of the explosion.
The moment the fuse reached the end, the bomb immediately erupted in flames and was followed right after by the loud sound of an explosion.
Fortunately, because the bomb was now covered by Mana, the explosion didn't cause that much damage compared to the other room beside them.
The person who had thrown the bomb was visibly surprised by the outcome of his attack, clearly not expecting that his target could easily limit the explosion of his bomb, despite being distracted by the mess in the other room.
Whoooosh!
