At this moment, back at the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance camp, Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain are now preparing their soldiers for the battle against the Silver royal family.

Behind them was Patriarch Vincent Snow, Patriarch Walter Skull, and Patriarch Simon Honoris preparing their Snow Noble Household's soldiers.

Awhile later, every Leader of both the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household gathered together inside a command tent.

"Did you find Leo?" Queen Olivia asked the 24 Elders and the 12 Zodiacs.

"Unfortunately, we weren't, he is gone along with Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, Charlotte, Ethan, Princess Elaine, and 1,500 other men that were part of the Eclipse troops." An Elder reported.

Hearing that, Queen Maria can't help shaking her head as she said, "I thought that he would really stay on the sideline and command the army. How foolish of me to believe such thoughts."

"Well, he had already given us all the strategy he could even think of, so maybe for him, there is nothing to worry about anymore, especially with us handling everything here." Madam Silva tried guessing what Leo was thinking.

"But still, he should have thought right that he would be needing to adjust the strategy. The battle would obviously not be following every word he had said to us." Patriarch Vincent Snow added.

"In the first place, was it even correct to hand the Commander position to Leo?" Patriarch Walter Skull dubiously asked.

"Indeed! Leo is still young and inexperienced. In comparison, Elder Rain is strong and obviously very experienced. Therefore, he should have just maintained being the Commander instead." Patriarch Simon Honoris said.

Hearing the 3 Patriarch's doubtful words about Leo, Elder Rain harrumph coldly as he said, "Don't underestimate Leo using the word young and inexperienced. Even with all three of you combined together, you won't still necessarily be able to defeat him in a war. That young man is not the same as any other young man you've seen in your daily lives. He's comparable to those young geniuses of other Human Kingdoms and Empires, at least in terms of warfare."

"So what do you suggest we should do in this battle?" Queen Olivia asked.

"Continue with the strategies Leo had proposed?" Queen Maria added.

"Elder Rain?" Madam Silva turned to look at Elder Rain.

Elder Rain's eyes turned serious as he replied, "Yes, we should continue with Leo's strategies and believe in him. He definitely has something prepared for us somewhere we least expected." He turned to look at the southwest of the Silver City.

Unbeknownst to Leo, Elder Rain has actually been following him in the dark from the moment he sneaked into the Silver city, finding the shocking pile of Chaos stones which he has mentioned as the secret trap of the Black organization and also what made him understood why Leo wanted them to attack from the east of Silver City, relocating the ordinary civilians to a safe location from the secret trap, taking over a small part of both the south wall and west wall and also two Outpost of the Silver royal family. That's why he had mentioned that Leo has something prepared, and it is somewhere they least expected it to be.

Truth be told, Elder Rain really can't help himself from feeling astonished by each of the steps that Leo has taken last night. It was beyond his imagination that his younger brother would develop this much after 10 years or so. From a brat that only knows how to rely on his parents and older brother to a young man that knows how to use everyone to their full potential and plan everything step by step. It seems like his plan of faking his death was what made his younger brother strive to become a lot stronger, smarter, wiser, and also what unfortunately also made him merciless, heartless, and a cold-blooded person. To be more precise, a person that Human Kingdoms and Empires specifically labeled as Genius. People that know how to think not only inside and outside of the box but also what's beyond the box. He was really happy because now he doesn't need to worry that much about his younger brother being the holder of the Red Cube as he should be prepared to try to take on the Fate prepared for him.

Suddenly, the heavy rain stopped, bringing with it the light of the bright sun of the sky.

Elder Rain then turned to look at the Silver city wall as he exclaimed, "Prepare for the battle!"

Whoooosh!

Elder Rain flew up the sky, overlooking the formation of not only the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household, but he was also looking and at the same time analyzing the formation of the Silver royal family in front of him.

What followed after was Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, Patriarch Vincent Snow, Patriarch Walter Skull, and Patriarch Simon Honoris alongside with the 24 Elders, 12 Zodiacs, 10 Guardians, and Generals of both the Blue Fin Kingdom and Snow Noble Household flying to their respective places for the battle.

"Mischievous Lion organization, prepare and ready!"

"Blue Fin Kingdom, prepare and ready!"

"Sword and Magic, prepare and ready!"

"Snow Noble Household, prepare and ready!"

Up above the Silver city, a man wearing a white-colored Magic armor flew up, and behind him were 10 Generals wearing a silver-colored Magic armor.

"Foolish people of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household, I'm King Erskine, the King of the Silver Kingdom, I hereby declare to all of you that you will be losing in this war!" King Erskine exclaimed loudly for the entire battlefield to hear.

"With you and that mere army of yours?" Elder Rain sneered at King Erskine's claim in response. He pointed his sword at the latter as he proclaimed, "You cannot even defend the entirety of Silver Kingdom as a whole when you had the best chance before, not to mention the capital city of your Kingdom. No, I mean, our Kingdom for I, Elder Rain, one of the Elders of the Sword and Magic, will also declare upon everyone present here, that King Erskine, would now only be called as Erskine for he would no longer be the King of Silver Kingdom starting this moment!"

Whooosh!

Queen Olivia arrived behind Elder Rain as she pointed her sword and said, "As a King that only has 3 territories remaining, you are no longer suited for such title!"

Whoooosh!

Queen Maria followed, "You don't even know how to properly rule a Kingdom, yet you dare still call yourself a King?"

*Whoooosh!

Madam Silva followed after, "And you call all of us foolish? Maybe choosing to start this war was a good thing, because you are already corrupted by such power called King!"

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Patriarch Vincent Snow, Patriarch Walter Skull, and Patriarch Simon Honoris were the last ones to arrive.

"I heard that you want to use my daughter, my beloved Elizabeth, to make us your pawns, o' so great and wise King of Silver Kingdom, how much of a desperate have you become for such power?" Patriarch Vincent Snow shook his head in disappointment.

"Even included my own daughter as well!!" Patriarch Simon Honoris exclaimed.

"In the past, you were so wise. You even made us believe in your determining words that Silver Kingdom would one day become akin to a paradise that can warm people's hearts. What people's heart? More like your just warming your own heart instead!" Patriarch Walter Skull mocked.

Elder Rain can't help glancing at Patriarch Walter Skull after mentioning the words 'Paradise that can warm people's heart.' Wasn't this the exact same phrase that his parents have been saying to them repeatedly when they were still alive? But that time, it was only about the Heart city, so how does this also become the phrase of the Silver royal family.

Quickly, Elder Rain focused on King Erskine. Surprisingly, he soon after noticed a green string connected to somewhere in the southwest, most likely Leo, but this string was very faint, seemingly like it was fading away from its connection, the Red Cube, despite it being near the source.

He can't help remembering that back then King Erskine and his father, Patriarch Red Heart, were pretty close with each other. Maybe it's because King Erskine is connected to the Red Cube that's why his father befriended him.

If only he wasn't a Special Mage and that he knew about the power of the Red Cube, then he wouldn't have seen this other colored string and even know what this was about.

Green string simply means an ally or a friend to the Red Cube, which simply means King Erskine is someone that will help Leo in his path to fight against the Gods.

However, why was it fading though? Is someone perhaps trying to interfere or cut the connection? Or is it perhaps just a coincidence? But that can't be true as well, because Fate isn't something that can be unintentionally destroyed. There is definitely some meaning behind this, someone pulling the string from behind.
