Chapter 649: Reconnaissance part 1 (1/2)

Once they were done with their work on the top of the wall, Elfin the Fifth, along with Charlotte and the other allies, quickly went back down to the ground.

They didn't really bring that many soldiers with them since this place they are at right now was supposedly a secret location. What they just didn't expect was it actually didn't remain as a secret for that long, since a member of the Naughty Elves organization had revealed its whereabouts. As a result, it marked the beginning of the war.

Since the soldiers were already in formation, they then quickly left to converge with most of the soldiers who are positioned near the north gate.

There is a small barracks nearby the north gate that they are currently using as their temporary base of operation.

Evidently, most of the soldiers were gathered near the north gate so that they could just easily leave the Emerald City and prepare for the war that would happen in the wilderness.

A few minutes later, Elfin the Fifth and everyone finally arrived at the barracks.

The moment they arrived, they immediately saw in their sight that all the soldiers were long already in their formation, and fully geared and prepared for the war.

It is fairly easy to guess that the moment the war weapons on the top of the north wall had begun frequently sounding and in addition to that one of the Nature's Cover was also activated, the war against the Naughty Elves organization had finally begun. So in a quick notice, they swiftly gathered together and formed their formation.

Without wasting any time, Elfin and everyone quickly joined the main formation.

Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild still kept their identities as a secret to the majority of the soldiers by covering their entire bodies with their black mantle, plus they used their superior cultivation level to decrease their presence as low as possible. They also didn't appear in any conspicuous places, such as being beside Elfin the Fifth. This was because they wanted to avoid attracting any unwanted attention. After all, they are one of the hidden trump cards of the Evergreen royal family.

If a member of the Naughty Elves organization was able to secretly slipped into the group of soldiers that they have brought with them before, then it is without a doubt also possible for them to have a few of their members among everyone here right now.

As of now, there are only a few people who knew about their real identities, and most of those people were either a part of their trusted allies or soldiers who were coincidentally able to see their faces during the quick fight on their previous location. Those soldiers on top of the wall aren't really a big problem since they can't just leave the place whenever they please, especially considering that the war has already begun, while there were only a few soldiers below the wall that had seen them, and all of them had already been ordered by Elfin the Fifth along the way to this place to swear an Oath to keep the secret for themselves.

After merging together with the main formation, Elfin the Fifth then calmly made his way towards the podium in front of everyone.

Soon arriving on top of the podium, Elfin the Fifth then informed everyone, ”There should be no need for me to mention anymore that the war against the Naughty Elves organization has finally begun,”

”Just now, the situation had unexpectedly turned against our favor as the numerous Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potions launched their attacks to our wall. It was a horrifying sight and could have taken the lives of plenty of our comrades on top of the wall. Don't worry though, because fortunately we were able to avoid any casualties with the help of one of our trump cards,”

”Currently, the war is in stalemate as both sides have not taken any sort of advantages yet. We are expecting though that this situation would not last that long, because probably the Naughty Elves organization has already prepared their own countermeasures for such a situation,”

”But before any of that could happen, we will strike first!” Elfin the Fifth proclaimed loudly. Previously, he was supposedly planning to wait for the Naughty Elves organization to show their hands first before taking advantage of it. But he soon realized just how stupid his plan was because it seemed like every time their enemy made a move, it would in return immediately force them to reveal one of their trump cards instead. He can't possibly allow this kind of situation to keep on happening, as it might just eventually cause them to reveal all of their trump cards.
