"And that's why everyone is frantically leaving this place. It's already hopeless, so if I were you, I would also leave as soon as I can..." The fat merchant lit up his tobacco to show his empathy for Silver Kingdom, "If you don't mind, I'll return to my merchant caravan, we will be leaving soon."
"Okay..." Ash nodded her head in response.
After seeing the fat merchant leave, Ash turned to look at Leo, who was now in total disbelief.
As to how Ash was able to see that. Well, Leo was somewhat not showing the look of being shocked, but instead the look of someone very serious.
At this moment, Leo wasn't just having a hard time believing the fat merchant's words, he was also speechless and dumbfounded.
2 days after he has washed ashore in Twilight Forest, specifically Eclipse village, a lot of things have happened right after in Silver Kingdom.
White River City, Will city, and Green Weed city, all three cities were destroyed. Honoris city and Crystal Skull city being pushed to its destruction. East Fortress fighting to fend off both the Magical Beast from Nine River Forest and Shark Cemetery.
Mischievous Lion organization finally revealing itself and claiming that it will take over the entire Silver Kingdom with the lead of Queen Lion, Olivia with a shocking surname Heart, as she was actually Reinhart's wife.
Leo was really shocked at that, as he really didn't expect that he has such connections with his Master Olivia. Maybe that's also part of the reason why she took him as her disciple, despite not having any good talents or potential at that time.
Blacksmoke city, Blue Coral city, Southwest Fortress, and Southern Fortress was then quickly pulled to the Mischievous Lion organization, hence claiming almost all of the territory in the Southern region of Silver Kingdom, the only territory left for the Mischievous Lion organization to finally conquer the entire Southern region is the Southeast Fortress.
That wasn't the most shocking of all, the large Mana stones that he had always been trying to steal from the Black organization in those entire time was actually the string that had caused all of this to happen.
In the past, he had already received a report about the large Mana stones being a part of an Array. At that moment, he should have realized already what kind of Array it was, since his Heart city was also scheduled to have the Kingdom Protection Array due to it being promoted to a city. However, he had put the schedule to the very back of his mind, since it was scheduled only when he turned 20 years old. So, he wasn't able to think about it.
"Why was I so stupid..." Leo can't help mocking himself.
On the third day, with the help of both Honoris city and William city, they were finally able to clear out a road to connect with each other, specifically the road from William city to Will city and from Will city to Honoris city. The Will city wasn't rebuilt into a city once again though, but had instead become the supply station of their road, or otherwise known as an outpost.
On the fourth day, with the lead of Commander Novak of East Fortress, the Crystal Skull city was finally connected back to Silver City, with the former White River city being its outpost.
On the Fifth day, the Mischievous Lion organization claimed the Green Weed city and made it into its stronghold to fight against the East Fortress. Blacksmoke city launching an attack on William city, and both the Southwest Fortress and Southern Fortress attacking the Southeast Fortress.
On the sixth day, the Fourth Prince breakthrough in his cultivation, henceforth becoming an official Galaxy level Mage. With that, the Southeast Fortress still remained as a territory of Silver Kingdom.
On the seventh day, the President of Sword and Magic, Vladimir, finally arrived, bringing with him a total of 1,000 members of the Sword and Magic for reinforcement. However, it wasn't a reinforcement to help Silver Kingdom, nor was it to help the Mischievous Lion organization, but instead to claim the Silver Kingdom as its own territory. With that said, the Southern Fortress then quickly became its first territory, which also forces Gemini Dagger George to retreat back at Southwest Fortress with the help of Claw of Cancer Charles.
On the eighth day, Olivia Heart went head to head with Vladimir, the President of Sword and Magic, to stop him in his plan to conquer Heart city. However, with how powerful Vladimir was, specifically a 2nd Constellation Mage, Olivia absolutely didn't stand a chance to defeat him. But unexpectedly, an unknown man and woman appeared to help Olivia.
On the ninth day, Blue Fin Kingdom reinforcement finally arrived, helping Silver Kingdom quickly claim back the Green Weed city and Blue Coral city. Because of that, it caused the Mischievous Lion organization to only have 3 remaining territories, specifically Heart city, Blacksmoke city, and Southwest Fortress.
On the tenth day, the staying silent Black organization finally started its comeback, which revealed a very shocking secret in the entire history of Silver Kingdom. One of the Five Major Noble Households, specifically the entire Williams, including the Will, is actually the real hand that controls the entire Black organization branch in Silver Kingdom. Puppet Master Lu Ming, despite still being Human, was actually just a puppet of the Williams Noble Household. How ironic it was for a Puppet Master to only be a puppet.
The Williams Noble Household being a part of the Black organization was actually within Leo's expectations, since the poison he had gotten from one of their members, specifically during the mission when he was escorting Veronica, had lead to the Will city. Though he wasn't yet sure about it before, thinking that the Black organization might just be using the Will city as a smokescreen.
The last day, which was just yesterday, was the fall of Honoris city, making it the territory of the Black organization, just like what they had planned before when they tried to kidnap Veronica Honoris.
Fortunately, the Honoris Noble Household was able to retreat to Snow city, with the help of Snow Noble Household and Crystal Skull Noble Household.
And at this moment, the entire territory of Silver Kingdom was now shared by the Silver royal family, Mischievous Lion organization, Sword and Magic organization, and Black organization.
Everyone wants to claim the Silver Kingdom for their own, leading towards the current situation.
What the fat merchant had said before that the Silver Kingdom is already hopeless was the truth. In fact, calling it hopeless is actually an understatement, and the appropriate way to call it is, Silver Kingdom is already dead.
Why?
Whoever wins this war, they will only be left with a destroyed territory. Rebuilding it is of course possible, but would anyone ever want to invest in a territory that can only return back to its former prime days after decades later? Which is after considering the damage caused by this war.
Moreover, rebuilding it isn't even guarantee because neither the Black organization nor the Silver royal family would just want the Silver Kingdom to fall into somebody else's hand.
The Black organization, which is an evil cult, would do everything to destroy the Silver Kingdom if it can't claim it as its own.
While on the other hand, the Silver royal family, who has built the Silver Kingdom from the ground to up, would of course not allow anyone to just steal it from them. So obviously, before entirely leaving the Silver Kingdom, the chances of them destroying it themselves are highly likely.
There is also a very high chance that the Sword and Magic organization would destroy the Silver Kingdom themselves. As to why, it's simply because even if the Silver royal family or the Mischievous Lion organization wins, the Black organization would still come back in the near future and claim the Silver Kingdom as their own territory.
Therefore, so as to stop such a situation from happening, the best thing to do is to destroy the entire Silver Kingdom. And with the Williams Noble Household being revealed as being a part of the Black organization, no one can be sure anymore whether the Silver royal family is really not a member of the Black organization or not. Maybe one or two members of the Silver royal family are actually a member, just hiding in the dark and sending support secretly to Williams Noble Household at this moment. Not to mention, the Crystal Skull Noble Household, Honoris Noble Household, and the Snow Noble Household. So, to finally clear out any traces of Black organization in this land, it is much better to remove all of their root, which is the territory of Silver Kingdom.
Even if there is indeed a hidden remnant of the Black organization hiding behind the Silver royal family and those Noble households who would survive and relocate to other Human Kingdoms or Empires, then moving anytime soon would be far from happening.
Aside from being speechless and dumbfounded, Leo also felt cautious and worried about himself.
Now that the situation has turned this way, his status has also changed. He is no longer the Leo Heart, City Ruler of Heart city, but Leo Heart, the disciple of Olivia Heart, the Queen Lion of Mischievous Lion organization.
If anyone that belongs to the three other organizations found him, he would only have three outcomes with him. Help them in order for him to keep his life, becoming hostage so that he can keep his life, or to lose his life. No matter what choices he makes, it will all be related to his either he dies or lives.
With his character, he naturally doesn't want that. Who on Celestial World would even want their life being controlled by other people's hands? Obviously no one!
In the first place, that's also the reason why this war started, because no one wants to be controlled by the other, so not to mention him.
Turning to look at Ash, Leo doesn't seem to know anymore what to do next. He had brought them with him in hopes of giving them a safe sanctuary, but with the current situation right now, even giving them a house to stay in is nearly impossible for him to do, not to mention giving them a safe sanctuary in a territory that is currently in the middle of war.

"And that's why everyone is frantically leaving this place. It's already hopeless, so if I were you, I would also leave as soon as I can..." The fat merchant lit up his tobacco to show his empathy for Silver Kingdom, "If you don't mind, I'll return to my merchant caravan, we will be leaving soon."
