When the sun arrived up at the very middle of the Commander's Palace, clearly indicating the time to be early afternoon, a member of the Mischievous Lion organization soon after arrived to knock on the big wooden door to give Leo and the others the reply of the Southwest Fortress and Heart city.

After finishing with the meeting yesterday night, Leo quickly wrote a letter about Ash's plan and passed it to two members of the Mischievous Lion organization to bring it to his senior brothers at Southwest Fortress and to his Master Olivia at Hearts city, specifically using a Magical Beast Mail Bird. The sooner they start with this plan, the better, as it also meant the Sword and Magic wouldn't be able to come up with any sort of plan to attack any of the Mischievous Lion organization's territories.

*Cring...

The door of the Commander's Palace opened, and Leo slowly walked outside to receive the letter.

After opening the letter and reading the reply, Leo's mouth then formed into a slight smile.

"Fortunately, my two senior brothers didn't think of making it hard for me." Leo breathes a sigh of relief knowing that their plan could proceed easily.

Usually in the past, when there were plans involving the movements of 2 or 3 groups from the 12 Zodiacs, their leaders would then immediately start making it hard for the group who had proposed the plan. It isn't because they want more benefits and the likes for their group, but simply because they want their names to be included in the list of people who had made the plan.

Why?

Very simple...

The group who had made the plan, specifically the person who had thought of the plan, would also be the one to lead the entire mission. Obviously, as the leaders of the other groups, they wouldn't just let their men be ordered around by the other group. Not because they are their leader so they should be the one ordering their own men, but actually because they know more about their men's capability compared to the other group, so they know what they are good and bad at, and hence improving the success rate of the people who are going to participate in the said mission.

Leo then went back inside the Commander's Palace after thanking the member of the Mischievous Lion organization who had delivered the letter to inform the others about the reply so that they can finally go and start the preparations.

Walking in the kitchen, Leo then found everyone eating while having a conversation about some stuff related to Magic.

Well, Ash and the others from the 5 Divisions obviously doesn't know a lot about Magic related stuff since they were living in the Twilight Forest after escaping from the Dragon Horn Empire, so they started asking Ethan and the others who were living in the Silver Kingdom ever since young hence being exposed to more Magic related books and knowledge, in order for them to widen their own knowledge.

Leo then sat down on a chair located in the middle of the table as he then put down the letter he had received just now and said, "Proceed with the preparation after eating your breakfast. We are going with Ash's plan as soon as all three sides are prepared!"

Obviously, what Leo meant about the three sides are Southeast Fortress, Southwest Fortress, and Heart city.

Hearing Leo's words, Ash smiled in delight as she quickly decided to finish her breakfast as fast as she can.

.....

Later in the afternoon, Leo walked around the destroyed West Barracks.

Although he was still far away, he can already see a lot of people preparing the resources and such needed for Ash's plan.

Moreover, he could also see plenty of new faces as they have bought all of the slaves in the Business District in order to add more to their manpower.

Obviously, since he had ordered to kill all of the soldiers, except those from the North Barracks since General Alan was protecting them with all that he got and the Fourth Prince also requested for Leo not to kill them saying that he wanted to recruit them in his group, it then resulted to the lack of extra manpower afterwards. In order to fix this problem, he used the money stored in the Commander's Palace treasure room to buy out all of the slaves from the Slave Houses in the Business District. Though in the end he still adds a bit more since the money wasn't enough.

After doing that, the Generals then started assigning the slaves to different positions, specifically the main fighting force, which are located at the very front, the middle fighting force, which is located at the middle, the rear line of defense, which are located at the very back, and the logistic that would send out the supply in the battlefield.

Unfortunately, he can't assign any cavalry and proper range troops because the slaves obviously lacked the experience needed for such a position. Although there were still a few range soldiers, specifically those Elves slaves he had bought from the Business District as they were natural-born archer, they were still not even enough to form a single line for Ash's plan army layout, so he suggested to only mix them to the rear line of defense so as to not waste what they can possibly contribute to the battle.

So, right now his army was made up of a bunch of infantry troops equipped with both a sword and a shield, and the majority of them were No Star to 3 Star level with the minority being 4 Star. There were also five 7 Star Mages, excluded Chief Lago and the four leaders, which were assigned important positions below the General rank.

On the other hand, the Hybrids of the Eclipse village were left to handle the defense of the Southeast Fortress. It was also because Ash doesn't want any of them to die that's why she specifically assigned them in the Southeast Fortress, though there were still a few that voluntarily joined the battle, specifically a few members of the 5 Divisions that wanted to experience the feeling of fighting in the battlefield to become much more stronger than before.

Noticing Leo who was observing around, Ash then waved her hand and called out to him.

"How's the preparation?" Leo asked while looking at the map above a table in front of them. This map shows Ash's entire strategy for this fight.

"So far, it's doing great. Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre are now assigned in a specific group. Chief Lago would be the acting Commander because I'm still weak and a powerful presence is required in the battlefield to raise the soldier's morale, and Ethan would be assisting me." Ash informed.

"Yow, Leo!" Ethan suddenly joined in.

"Ethan," Leo greeted back, "So, can you work perfectly fine with Ash now? If not, then I could assign Charlotte to replace you."

"No no no, I'll be the Vice-Commander, so how the strategy works would entirely be up to Ash to decide and I will only be suggesting some possible adjustment, hehehe..." Ethan quickly refuses Leo's suggestion. He really wanted to fight alongside the Mischievous Lion organization as soon as possible in order for his identity to spread out towards the Silver royal family and the other members of the Mischievous Lion organization. In this way, they can influence more Noble Households to join them and to also further strengthen the morale of the members of the Mischievous Lion organization. And he also wanted to inform his first brother, Crown Prince Edward, in a determined way, that he doesn't want to replace him in becoming the Crown Prince. This war is obviously going to be the best opportunity for his first brother to pass the position of Crown Prince to him by either giving all of his achievements to him or to purposely lose a battle.

"How about your plan, Leo?" Ash can't help asking.

Aside from buying enough time for Olivia and the Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom to finally conclude their discussion about a possible alliance, Leo would actually go to Heart city with Princess Elaine, Charlotte, Ahmed, Brad, Jasmine, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, and a few others for Princess Elaine to persuade her mother to agree. In this way, the Queen of Blue Fin Kingdom would quickly decide to agree on the alliance and to also shorten the time needed for Ash's army and the members of the Mischievous Lion organization at Southwest Fortress and Heart city attacking the Southern Fortress, since the longer the battle would take the more casualties there would be.

"No problem... We will be leaving tonight, and would likely arrive at Heart city 2 to 3 days later, which would also be the estimated time for your plan to take action." Leo replied.

"That's great, then good luck to both of us, hahaha!" Ash said as she smiled at Leo.

"Always remember to be safe." Leo reminded.

Hearing Leo's reminder, Ash's smiled turned sweet as she nodded her head.

"What would you do if ever a dangerous situation happens?" Leo asked, seemingly to remind something.

"If ever a dangerous situation happens, be sure to retreat first, and maybe just push Ethan to them because Sword and Magic would obviously not kill him and instead use him as a hostage." Ash replied as she looked at Ethan who was showing a dumbfounded look on his face.

"You..." Ethan felt wrong. He was actually going to become a sacrificial pawn in order for Ash to escape if ever a dangerous situation indeed happens. For him, there was actually nothing wrong with that, really, since he also understands that he would most likely not die if ever such a thing indeed happened, but they should at least not talk about such a topic in front of him, right?

"You're a Vice-Commander, so it's your responsibility to make sure your Commander's life is safe, understood?" Leo turned to look at Ethan.

"Yes!" Ethan didn't hesitate to agree. But he quickly felt that something was wrong with that statement, "No-"

"Do you want to say something?" Leo said as he smiled mischievously. Obviously, he knows clearly why Ethan was so eager to become a Vice-Commander, so if he doesn't agree with him, he would gladly assure him that all of his position from now on would be in the rear, in such a way Crown Prince Edward would still be able to pass the position of Crown Prince to him without any problem, that is, if the Silver royal family won though.

"No problem, Boss! You can trust me with your beautiful woman's life!" Ethan said with a salute as he then quickly left the place in fear of Leo assigning him an even more dangerous task.

Ash's face turned burning hot hearing 'your beautiful woman's life' as she quickly looked down to hide her face from Leo.

"Ethan!" Leo suddenly called out, causing Ethan to feel horror deep inside as he slowly turned his head to look at Leo.

"Why?"

"You also need to be safe." Leo reminded before turning around to prepare for his own mission.

Ethan nodded his head in assurance as he exclaimed, "I will don't worry!"
