"I have never thought that such a person is actually the Emperor of one of the Human race greatest Empires..." Leo can\'t help feeling disappointed.
Though, he quickly shook his head to dismiss such a thought. Who was he to even speak badly about the Emperor of Dragon Horn Empire, when in fact he was also the same in the aspect of using Ash\'s power for himself.
Although he and the Emperor of Dragon Horn Empire\'s means of doing so were worlds apart, it still doesn\'t remove the fact that he would be using Ash.
Moreover, even if the Emperor of Dragon Horn Empire was indeed lecherous, perverted, and twisted, who was he to speak badly about that? He also shares a fair amount of negative personalities, such as all the time he manipulated the Mischievous Lion faction to easily earn points. He only agreed in sheltering Cassandra before because of the benefit, and many more.
"Every race has such kind of person, even the White Fox race I belong to has such kind of person." Ash said as she gritted her teeth out of anger.
Leo nodded his head with Ash\'s statement.
Indeed, every race, whether Humans or the Foreign races, would have such kind of people living amongst them. In fact, he was an example of that.
Though, he still can\'t help becoming curious about who Ash meant about in the White Fox Race.
"Who?"
"My father..." Ash revealed.
"Oh..." Leo nodded in understanding. He doesn\'t really need to listen to Ash\'s answer for him to know what kind of father she had, since for her to be sold as a slave already speaks volumes of what kind of family she had. Also, it might just bring some sad memories to her, so it\'s better not to ask.
*Booooom!
"The Mother Twilight Bear is finally down!" Chief Lago quickly announced.
"A bit more of push guys and we can finally rest!" Sebastian reminded.
At the side, Leo nodded his head as he turned around. There was no need to stay any further in this place since the outcome was already obvious. Instead, he should go and prepare for the journey back to the Silver Kingdom.
Ash was also here, so there is no need for him to worry about anything.
Soon enough, Leo finally returned back at the 5 Divisions base of operation.
Looking around the place, he immediately noticed hundreds of wooden crates filled with countless of different Magical resources each. Bamboo huts were also built to act as the temporary settlement for the villagers of Eclipse village.
Leo slowly walked towards a small hut and what\'s waiting inside for him was a map drew in a rough sketch by the Tiger Division. It was the map of the northern region of Twilight Forest.
"Basing in this map, we would need to cross hundreds of kilometers just to arrive at the Southeast Fortress of Silver Kingdom." Leo drew a red line in the map, "However, we first need to cross this river, and this mountain, and many more dangerous places. This would be a really long journey."
"Leo!"
Suddenly, Ash\'s voice sounded outside the hut, prompting Leo to get out and see what\'s going on.
The moment he got out, the Mother and Father Twilight Bears were lying dead not so far from him with Ash, Chief Lago, and the four leaders resting on top and with also Levi flying in a circle up above them.
"I guessed we are already finished with everything here! It\'s time to return to Silver Kingdom." Leo said.
.....
Meanwhile, back at Silver Kingdom, everything has already changed for the worst. Specifically, the storm that the Honoris Noble Household had predicted before has already come true.
The moment the Black organization in Silver Kingdom received the news that Lu Ming, their President, has died in Floating Mountain, their plan to take over the entire Silver Kingdom quickly changed into a plan to take down the entire Silver Kingdom.
And how would they do such a thing?
Simple...
All the large Mana stones that were maintaining the Kingdom Protection Array to help keep out the Magical Beast from the entire Silver Kingdom were all finally took out by the Black organization.
The large Mana stones that Leo had been stealing from the Black organization all this time wasn\'t actually only found in the Silver city\'s sewers, but all throughout the other cities belonging to Silver Kingdom, specifically the Southern region Blue Coral city, Blacksmoke city, and Green Weed city, and the Northern region Williams city, Will city, White River city, Honoris city, Crystal Skull city, and Snow city.
Each city has 48 large Mana stones to activate the Kingdom Protection Array, which is replaced on yearly basis, but with all of those gone ahead of schedule and unexpectedly too, the Magical Beast living in Yellow Forest, Smoky Mountain, Blacksmoke Canyon, Nine River Forest, Frozen Tundra, Hundred Hills, and Twilight Forest not only doesn\'t have anything that keeps them away anymore but also the Silver Kingdom wasn\'t prepared for such a situation to happen and were caught off guard, hence leading to hundreds of Magical Beast successful attacks for the past 2 days.
The situation in the Northern region was the worst as the White River city, Will city, Green Weed city, was unfortunately already destroyed.
The White River city has the Yellow Forest at its west and a Danger zone, Nine River Forest, at its east, hence with its meager power, they can\'t hope to contend against them. So, they can only retreat to Silver city.
The Will city has been surrounded by the Yellow Forest in almost all of its direction. Although they only need to face one single wilderness, and that they were one of the Five Major Noble Households, that actually only describes the Williams Noble Household. So, with how weak they actually are, they immediately evacuated to Williams city the moment they received the news of losing the Kingdom Protection Array.
Green Weed city on the other hand was attacked by the Nine River Forest. Actually, they wouldn\'t have been destroyed with only that level of attack, even if they are still in the phase of recovering from the attack of the Blue Fin Kingdom in the past, since East Fortress was just nearby their territory, specifically a few kilometers to their northwest. But, unexpectedly though, the Shark Cemetery actually joined in the fray, causing the Green Weed city to easily get destroyed. As for the reason why Shark Cemetery attacked them, it\'s mainly because Levi was said to be kidnapped by the Humans, and the only Human territory nearby them is the Silver Kingdom, hence leading the remaining loyal subjects of the King and Queen Leviathan to attack the Green Weed city.
On the other hand, Crystal Skull city and Honoris city is barely holding on. While the Snow city could still be considered as relatively safe, but it wouldn\'t be long for them to be put into a dangerous situation the moment Crystal Skull city and Honoris city gets destroyed. That\'s why they already sent enough reinforcement to both Crystal Skull city and Honoris city at its south and southwest.
The Crystal Skull city can obviously put up a fight against the Magical Beast since it\'s the city with mostly fighters living in it. Unfortunately, though, they have the Ice Tundra, a Danger zone, at its northwest, Nine River Forest, another Danger zone, at its east, and Yellow Forest at its south. Without the Snow city\'s reinforcement, destruction would have long been expected already.
While on the other hand, the Honoris city was just a farming city, or at best a business city, if considering their total annual average income every year, which simply meant they have the least population of fighters. Hence, despite the Honoris Noble Household being the 3rd rank in the Five Major Noble Households, they can\'t put up a fight against Ice Tundra at its north and Yellow Forest at its south. Fortunately, the Snow Noble Household was nearby them, hence they used all of the flying boats they have, which were usually only used in transporting goods or for traveling to other Human Kingdoms and Empires to discuss business with other fellow businessmen, to transport the reinforcement to their city.
Unfortunately, the East Fortress up above the Silver city can\'t send any reinforcement to the three cities because they are busy fending off the Magical Beast of Nine River Forest and Shark Cemetery.
On the other hand, the Southern region was the safest. However, the Mischievous Lion organization finally revealed itself, taking into its hand the Blue Coral city and Blacksmoke city.
The Queen Lion, the President of the Mischievous Lion organization, finally introduced herself to the entire Silver Kingdom officially as not only the President of the Mischievous Lion organization but also the wife of Reinhart Heart.
At first, the people of Silver Kingdom thought that a ray of hope had appeared, but they were greatly mistaken as Olivia\'s goal was actually to take over the entire Silver Kingdom.
Reason?
Well, Olivia said that the Silver Kingdom had put aside the case of Reinhart\'s death, calling them irresponsible, corrupt, and not worthy as a leader to Silver Kingdom. She claims that if she becomes the leader of Silver Kingdom, she would bring it to a whole new, different level, bringing with it unlimited benefits and such. Of course, she also has a hidden reason, which is to fight against the Gods.
Naturally, the people didn\'t agree with Olivia, but they then shockingly discovered that their King actually doesn\'t dare to face her. Later on they then found out that the President of Mischievous Lion organization is actually a 7th Galaxy Mage, 5 levels above their King.
What\'s even more shocking is the Southwest Fortress and Southern Fortress actually already belongs to the Mischievous Lion organization due to the lead of two of Olivia\'s discipline, Gemini Dagger George and Claw of Cancer Charles.
What\'s even more shocking, the Heart city, what they thought to be the poorest of all cities throughout the entire Silver Kingdom, is actually the strongest.
The situation wouldn\'t have actually turned in favor of the Mischievous Lion organization, but due to the unfortunate event of losing the Kingdom Protection Array, both the Blacksmoke city and Blue Coral city weren\'t able to receive reinforcement, which the Mischievous Lion organization immediately took into their advantage as they propose a deal with them. They will protect them, in exchange they will join them.
The Blacksmoke city doesn\'t have any choice, because if they don\'t receive any help, they will immediately be destroyed, as in a total wipeout.
Why?
Heart city at its east wouldn\'t let them enter because they might cause some dangers within them, not to mention send out a reinforcement.
Southwest Fortress, at its south, also wouldn\'t let them in due to the same reason.
Going the north, which is the Williams city, was also almost an impossible thing to do, because they need to travel the middle of both Smoky Mountain and Blacksmoke Canyon. Not only would they have to face Magical Beast attacks but also the Bandits who are the most beneficial of this current event. Moreover, the majority of them were almost all Blacksmiths and Craftsman, so traveling in a Magical Beast infested area would be really dangerous for them.
So, without any choice, Vins and Lanny Blacksmoke agreed to be a part of the Mischievous Lion organization.
On the other hand, Blue Coral city, although being a territory of the Fourth Prince, was totally caught off guard by the sudden disappearance of the Kingdom Protection Array. Their situation would have been better at the least, but unfortunately, the Fourth Prince has a very bad image due to the past attack of Blue Fin Kingdom on its territory. So, the Blue Noble Household, the City Lord of Blue Coral City, was said to that she didn\'t even bother to hesitate to become a part of Mischievous Lion organization, in fear of the Fourth Prince doing something crazy again that might cause them tens of thousands of deaths. Luckily, the Fourth Prince Ethan and his wife Princess Elaine were immediately rescued by the Southeast Fortress before anything bad could happen to them, such as becoming a hostage of the Mischievous Lion organization.
Now, the only territory that belongs to the Silver royal family is the Southeast Fortress in the Southern region, and the Williams city, Honoris city, Crystal Skull city, and Snow city in the Northern region.. The rest of the cities were either destroyed by the Magical Beast attacks or became a part of Mischievous Lion organization.
