Fortunately, amidst the despair, a reaching hand was offered to Leo.

"Sir, we are here to man up the cannons and crossbows!" A soldier of the Sword and Magic reported to Leo.

Hearing that voice, although it was rough, it instead felt like an angel's voice for Leo instead, soothing his trouble immediately afterwards.

"Oh, then go on and let the other's man up the cannons. By the way, these soldiers would all be under your people's command, so make use of them well. As for me, call a few others, I would need some assistance to the east wall." Leo said before he began walking away. But rather than saying that he was walking to the east wall, it was much more appropriate to say that he wants to get away from Cassandra and the others as far as possible.

However, would Cassandra and the others really let him get away scratch-free? Obviously, they won't!

"I'll be coming with you! This time, I'll show you that we are not mere dolls to your doll collection!" Cassandra said as she passed by Leo.

"Tch, you'll definitely pay for treating us like dogs!" Elizabeth followed after.

Angel simply shoots a cold glare at Leo as she also followed after.

"Just you wait when everything is done!" Ash exclaimed as she followed along as well.

Lastly, Charlotte passed by Leo without saying a single word. Instead, she made a slit throat action.

"This..." Leo really felt like crying. Although he wasn't the type of guy that would do such a thing, this time he just can't help feeling it.

"Hahayst... Maybe this is also what Ethan is feeling every day..." Leo heaves a sigh of helplessness before following behind.

Moments later, Leo and the 5 women with a few members of the Sword and Magic finally arrived at the east wall.

Without wasting any time, they quickly began cleaning up. Though unlike the north and west wall, the east wall has the majority of the Black organization members. Maybe they were all thinking of using the east side of the Southern Fortress for their retreat, considering that going to the east direction was relatively safer compared to the other two directions due to the fact that they can immediately turn to the Hundred Hills to escape. With how big the Hundred Hills was, even if it was the location of the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters, there are still a lot of places to hide. Additionally, it is a wilderness nonetheless, so that's absolutely possible.

Just like what the 5 women had said to Leo, they would be making him pay for treating them like dogs.

"Oh, my hand slip, watch out, Leo!" Cassandra quickly warned after guiding the soldier's hand thrusting to Leo with a spear.

Seeing this, Leo immediately dodges to the side as he then grabbed that soldier's hand before throwing him to the edge of the wall.

"Oh no, incoming soldier to you at 12 o'clock, Leo!" Elizabeth warned just right after she put her leg forward to make the soldier fall to Leo's direction.

Leo really wanted to quickly dodge to the side, but then he quickly noticed another soldier being slipped by Angel. Hence, he could only jump back to dodge. Afterwards, the moment the soldier had fallen to the ground, he then quickly stabbed their heads with the Death Wake Dagger.

"Incoming!" Ash threw a soldier towards Leo.

"Same for me!" Charlotte also did the same action as well.

Seeing the flying soldiers, Leo quickly jumps forward to dodge, but who would have expected that Ash and Charlotte would follow up with another two soldiers.

Leo really wanted to swear after seeing it. There wasn't only those four soldiers who were thrown by Ash and Charlotte towards him, but also another three soldiers that Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel had slipped with their legs towards his three other directions, causing him to not have any escape way anymore. If he wants to jump back, then he would be hit by the two soldiers who were thrown first. If he wants to go to his 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 3 o'clock direction, he would need to handle the soldiers who were tripped towards his direction. And lastly, if he wants to stay still in his current location now, then the other two soldiers who were thrown next towards him would definitely land on top of him.

Fortunately, Leo was quick enough to think of a way to dodge all of this.

Without panicking, he quickly ordered the nearby Earth Elemental to use Earth Manipulation to put him inside a sphere.

Whoooosh!

Seeing this, the 5 women would definitely not just let Leo dodge their plot that easily, hence Charlotte, the most powerful one, threw a nearby soldier's battle axe to destroy the stone sphere.

Booom!

However, Leo was no longer inside the stone sphere but had long escaped already. As to where? Well, he��s now inside the wall, specifically, it was where cannonballs for cannons and arrows for the crossbow were stored inside.

"They should have at least have mercy..." Leo muttered to himself. But since it was his fault for causing them to become angry, he could only accept it helplessly. But of course, he wouldn't let them not pay for it. "Hehehe, just you all wait!"

Though it would have to wait. Maybe next time... But right now, he needs to think of a way on what he would do next. He can't go up above the wall again, as that would be the same as letting the 5 women cause trouble to him.

"Cannonballs and crossbows..." Leo finally thought of an idea as he quickly unsummoned 5 Earth Elementals from the top of the wall before summoning another 5 Earth Elementals by his side. Since he hasn't brought any of the Earth Elementals when he escaped, he could only unsummoned to summon another one.

After doing that, Leo then pointed at the cannonballs, "Begin throwing those cannonballs on our roof!"

This was exactly what he plans to do. He would make his Earth Elementals into catapults that will shoot cannonballs to their roof, as in literally. This would not only catch his enemies off guard, but this would also destroy the floor, which soon after would cause the 5 women trouble later on. He doesn't need to worry about the soldiers falling inside because he can handle them easily as they would definitely break a bone or two after landing on the floor of the storage room.

Hearing Leo's order, the Earth Elementals nodded their head, and they also formed a creepy smile as they understood what Leo wants to do.

"Oh, they now can move their mouths..." Leo was surprised the moment he saw his Earth Elementals moving their mouths. In the very beginning, his Elementals already has similar looks of Humans, though it was made of a specific Element. However, the eyes, the nose, and the mouth were clearly only for display purposes. It wasn't capable of moving and those parts were only stuck in the same motion no matter how much they move their body, unless if he daringly tries to order them to bite off the head of his opponent, which he still hasn't tried but could assume already that the mouth part would definitely move in such case.

"Does this mean my Elementals would be able to slowly act similar to Humans as long as I keep on getting stronger?" Leo thought to himself, "And would they be able to talk, eventually?"

If that was indeed true, then it would be the most wonderful thing to happen as it would allow him to make use of them more.

Moreover, his Elementals could actually change its form into those of Humans if he really wants to, though they would have their entire body still made up of a specific Element, but it's still something he can fix by covering them entirely with clothes or armors. As long as their real form couldn't be seen, matching it up with speaking, it is definitely possible to make them act really similar to Humans, hence he can walk in any open or public street with his Elementals in his side and not worry about them getting discovered. Though he already has that, which was turning the Earth Elementals into those of Golems, but different situation obviously requires different means, right? This simply means he also needs to have a way to disguise the Nature Elementals, Water Elementals, Fire Elementals, and many more Elements of Elementals that he would definitely try to test out soon.

Boom! Booom! Boom! Booom! Boom! Booom!

Right after, the Earth Elementals finally began throwing the cannonballs to their roofs, causing them to be destroyed and kill some of the enemy soldiers in the process. Aside from that, the floor also slowly began cracking, until eventually, it could no longer handle the soldier's weight hence it collapses down.

Crasshhhhh!

Seeing the dish finally serve in front of him, Leo quickly rushes forward to end their lives. This time, he would not need to worry whether his killing an ordinary soldier or a member of the Black organization since the majority of them were all part of the Black organization, or maybe all of them.
