After ten minutes or so of walking, they finally arrived back at the surface where they split up.

At this moment, however, Ash was now very busy ordering tens of her men to lead the civilians to go inside the nearby houses to hide. Apparently, they have already established a perimeter and then used the houses to act as the relocation area of the civilians and to also hide the gathering of civilians in this place from the Silver royal family's soldiers. Most likely, they have convinced the respective owners of the houses to help them.

"I was indeed not wrong with my excuse before, Ash is indeed very well suited to do this task. In fact, she's perfect!" Ethan can't help becoming astonished the moment he saw the current situation of their rescue operation to the civilians.

"That's a given, she was even able to lead everyone around the Twilight Forest before finally establishing a village in the outskirts for many years, so not to mention this mere relocation of civilians, and it's even in a place with only Human as a threat, not Magical Beast." Leo nodded in agreement.

Ash soon after noticed Leo and the other's presence, hence she approached them and asked, "Is everything done already?"

"Yes, the south is already safe, now we only need to worry about the relocation of the civilians to the south." Leo replied. He then changed the topic, "So, how's the situation of the relocation?"

"So far, everything has been going very smoothly. I've split our 500 men into 3 groups, the Perimeter Guards, Patrol Cleaning, and Rescuer. The Perimeter Guards is lead by me and we are tasked to safeguard the relocation area of the civilians and to also keep this place hidden from the eyes of the Silver royal family. The Patrol Cleaning is lead by Charlotte, Sele, and Old man Torre, they are entrusted with eliminating those patrolling soldiers that we're able to accidentally find us as quickly as possible in order to avoid any unnecessary accidents. Lastly, the Rescuer is lead by Veronica and Princess Elaine, they are tasked to convince the people to relocate over here." Ash explained.

"Very smart move, this is a really good allocation of people." Ethan nodded his head in admiration.

Leo simply ignored Ethan's remarks as he asked, "How many Human slaves do we have present here?"

Hearing Leo's words, Ash can't help feeling curious about what he was planning to do, so she asked, "What do you need them for? We have 20 Human slaves, all are 3 Star level."

"Gather all of them here, I have thought of a separate task for them." Leo said before walking towards a table nearby them as he right after laid a map of the Silver City on top. Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Ash, Ethan, Chief Lago, Sebastian, and Dan quickly followed after.

"We will try to replace the guards in these parts of the wall." Leo pointed at the corner walls nearby them, specifically the place where the west wall and south wall meets together, "So that we will not have any problems getting in and out of this place anymore, and to also eliminate the possibility of getting seen by the Silver royal family's soldiers on top of the walls. This would also let us call a few more others inside to help us do some other useful things."

"I can understand the first part of your plan, as it is indeed good if our people are the ones guarding the part of the walls nearby this location since it would avoid us from getting found out by the Silver royal family's soldiers. But, what exactly do you mean about calling a few others inside to help us do other useful things? Isn't rescuing the civilians our main intention here? If we do something else, it might risk us getting found out." Ethan quickly argued.

"I plan on using this location not only for a relocation area for the civilians but also the center place that will lend assistance to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance once they got inside Silver city." Leo replied.

"Oh..." Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Ash, Ethan, Chief Lago, Sebastian, and Dan quickly understood what Leo meant about with his words.

To be honest, once the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance breaks inside the Silver city, that still doesn't literally mean yet that they already won the war. Getting inside the Silver city simply meant they are halfway done with the battle against the Silver royal family because once they get inside Silver city, they would now be fighting in the middle of the Silver royal family's territory, which means aside from the place they have chosen to break through, they would be receiving attacks from the rest of the directions, specifically the south, west, and north walls. This would be the most hardest part of the battle.

However, what if the moment the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance got inside the Silver city their only remaining problem would be the north wall, and a few parts of the south and west wall because Leo has already successfully replaced those soldiers manning the war weapons on top of a few parts of the south and west walls with his own? With that, the battle would still be in their favor, and this might even cause the already losing Silver royal family to lose quickly.

"Okay, then let's begin!" Ash nodded before leaving to call out those 20 Human slaves they have over here.

"I'll be scouting ahead to help us quickly complete this new operation." Ethan turned around, "Chief Lago, Sebastian, and Dan, can I ask for your assistance?"

"That won't be a problem!" Chief Lago nodded in affirmation.

"Okay!" Sebastian and Dan both nodded their heads.

Ethan along with Chief Lago, Sebastian, and Dan then made their way up the walls to scout.

"How about us Leo, what do we do next?" Cassandra can't help asking.

"Yes, we don't have anything to do anymore, but we still want to help you do something!" Elizabeth added.

"Indeed!" Angel nodded in agreement.

"All three of you will help Veronica and Princess Elaine in convincing the ordinary civilians to relocate in this area here. Or you can also just help Ash with safeguarding this relocation area." Leo replied. To be honest, he doesn't really require Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel's help anymore at this point in time. The new operation related to the walls would be a really dangerous mission, so he can't let them join him, even if they persuade him with everything they got or even try to beat him. But since they still want to help, then that left him to assign them to the easy operation, which is to relocate the civilians to this area here or to guard this area.

"Okay!" Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel nodded before making their way to do their new assigned task.

Leo can't help becoming momentarily surprised the moment he heard them agreeing without any hesitation. It seems like they finally started on thinking of doing things that will help him rather than always causing him trouble.

Shaking his head, Leo quickly put those thoughts to the back of his head before focusing back on the important thing right now.

After a few minutes, Ash returned with 20 Human slaves. And fortunately, they were also all male, which means there is no problem with them disguising themselves as the guards. Of course, there is also no problem with them being females as well, but the thing is, they would then be required to wear a helmet that will entirely hide their faces, which they don't have right now because soldiers on top of the walls were normally males due to the heavy labor the walls would require.

"From today on, I will all be calling you Slave 1 to Slave 20, and your group will be called starting this moment and onwards as 1st Human Slave squad, understood?" Leo informed.

The reason that he doesn't bother himself to call their names is simply that it's so troublesome to memorize a lot of names that might just die later on in this battle. And aside from that, as slaves, he also wants them to have an established hierarchy which is those slaves that have their names called out or given by him personally would mean they are much higher level compared to those with only the name Slave. And right now, no such slave with names should yet to exist for they haven't yet contributed enough to him, their Master. This would also show that having a name is not an easy thing to achieve and that they need to work really hard in order to achieve it, which means it's a great honor to have, and honor means authority, and this authority would then mean they would have more control of their own lives, or more appropriately, their own freedom.

He is specifically doing all of this right now because all of his slaves would definitely be his personal army in the near future, and he is now starting the preparation to organize them into different groups of squads so as to command them better later on.

��Yes!" Slave 1 to Slave 20 all nodded without any problem. Even if they do have problems, what can they do? They were all Leo's slaves, and hence they need to follow whatever their Master commands them to do, even if it's sacrificing their own lives.

"Let's go!" Leo said before leading the way to the walls.
