As soon as they saw the appearance of the Elf above them, a few people were immediately able to recognize his identity.

"That's Commander Vargas of the Emerald City!"

"What, you mean, the Commander of the Evergreen Magical Knight Division?!"

"Idiot, there's no other person with the name Commander Vargas in the Emerald City aside from the Commander of the Evergreen Magical Knight Division!"

"Right..."

"Anyways, with Commander Vargas' appearance, this commotion should be over soon,"

Just like the last time, because of the conversation of the surrounding people, Leo was again able to easily know that the person who spoke to him just now was an Elf named Commander Vargas.

"Please don't misunderstand my action right now as me and my group disrespecting the authority of Emerald Tree Kingdom or the Evergreen royal family. Let me inform you first that it wasn't me that started this mess, but the Hunter Goblin Guild. You can also freely ask the surrounding people for confirmation. So, if you really want to stop anyone, you can stop them," Leo said as he pointed his hand to the Goblins of the Hunter Goblin Guild currently being slaughtered by Chief Lago and Sebastian even as they speak.

"Oh," Commander Vargas replied in understanding before quickly landing on the ground and beginning to ask the surrounding people for confirmation.

After confirming that it was indeed the same as what the young man had said from the surrounding people, specifically, the Hunter Goblin Guild had started the mess after they saw the beautiful appearance of that young man's woman, Commander Vargas then choose to just simply stand at the side as he decided to just let the young man's subordinates completely eliminate all those Goblins of the Hunter Goblin Guild present here right now. Just like what the young man had said, if he really wanted to stop someone here, the one that he should be stopped is the Hunter Goblin Guild.

Commander Vargas wasn't stupid enough to not understand the reason why this had happened, especially considering the lecherous and perverted description about the members of the Hunter Goblin Guild. In fact, he can pretty much guess already how it progressed to this very moment.

First, the Goblins of the Hunter Goblin Guild saw the beautiful appearance of the young man's woman. Second, libido instantly rises straight through these Goblins' heads, just like almost the majority of the Goblins, thus making them muddle-headed. Third, they wanted to kidnap the woman, without clearly knowing that they... No, their entire Hunter Goblin Guild, doesn't even have the capability to do so. And lastly, they offended the young man, making him order his subordinates to completely eliminate them and just declare war with the Hunter Goblin Guild altogether to solve the mess. After all, whether he let them go or not, he would still end up offending them. Simply put, there is practically no difference between choosing the former and the latter.

Deep down inside, Commander Vargas can't help thinking highly of the young man for his capability to think of the best way to solve the problem. To be honest, he was also secretly cheering for the young man.

Commander Vargas had long already hated the Goblin race. It all began back then in the past when that Mechanic Goblin Empire broke the rules of their Emerald Elven Battle Competition, nearly causing all of the participants in the competition to die. If that really happened at that time, then the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom would be implicated in the mess and might end up getting destroyed by the backers of some of those participants.

Therefore, now that someone is slaughtering the Goblins, Commander Vargas felt delighted. He secretly swears inside of him that when this is all over, he will offer some kind of protection to that young man... No, protection is not needed as he has someone with a 9 Star level cultivation by his side, rather he would just give the young man some small benefits or perhaps a little bit of privilege in the Emerald City.

"Go, hit them harder, break their bones, cut their heads, be sure to not let anyone stay alive!" Commander Vargas secretly encourages inside his mind.

Leo can't help becoming dubious after seeing the expression on Commander Vargas' face while watching the Goblins of the Hunter Goblin Guild getting slaughtered by Chief Lago and Sebastian.

"Hey, Dan," Leo softly tapped Dan's shoulder in front of him, making the latter turned his head to look at him. He then continued, "Is it just me, or is that Commander Vargas' face showing a somewhat delighted expression?"

Hearing Leo's words, Dan can't help becoming curious as he then quickly turned his head to look at Commander Vargas' face.

"I think that you should remove the word 'Somewhat', because I am a hundred percent sure that Commander Vargas is indeed feeling happy right now while we are slaughtering the Goblins of the Hunter Goblin Guild," Dan said in a correction.

"Is there actually a secret animosity going on between the Elves and Goblins?" Leo can't help assuming.

"Perhaps..." Dan replied while shaking his head in pity to the Goblins living in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. With this territory being ruled by the Elves, they would certainly be having a hard time living if Leo's assumption really turned out to be true.

Soon, all the Goblins of the Hunter Goblin Guild were killed, a total of 50 dead bodies were lying down on the ground, tainting the brown soil with their green-colored blood.

Chief Lago and Sebastian quickly put their Magic weapons inside their Storage Rings as they then slowly walked towards Leo's direction.

"Took you both a bit longer than I expected," Leo said.

"Well, those Goblins were so swift in their movements, causing us to miss a few of our attacks," Chief Lago replied helplessly.

"Starting today, I officially hate Goblins," Sebastian suddenly declared to Leo and the others. He realized just now that with his way of fighting using pure aggressiveness, speed is his number one weakness, which is what the Goblins are best at. During the time he was slaughtering the Goblins of the Hunter Goblin Guild, he had encountered plenty of situations where his attacks completely missed the targets. One time, a single Goblin was even able to dodge his attack twice, thus making him feel really annoyed.

"I support your decision, hahaha," Commander Vargas suddenly joined in while chuckling.

Chief Lago and Sebastian quickly turned their heads towards Commander Vargas, shooting the latter a 'Who are you?' look on their faces.

"Oh, I almost forgot, let me officially introduce myself," Commander Vargas quickly realized his mistake. He continued, "I am, Commander Vargas of the Emerald Magical Knight Division."

Chief Lago turned his head to look at Leo and asked, "Is he a friend or a foe?"

"Neither," Leo replied before turning to look at Commander Vargas. He put his right hand forward and right after introducing himself, "I go by the name, Mister Loki, the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild,"

"Mischievous Lion Guild?" Commander Vargas curiously asked. Throughout his entire life living in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, this was his first time hearing the name Mischievous Lion Guild. He can't help asking, "Ummm... If it's okay to ask, where is your Mischievous Lion Guild located?"

"It's located a few kilometers to the north of Emerald City," Leo said as he pointed towards the location of the Smiling Lion Village.

"WHAT?! Do you mean to say that your Mischievous Lion Guild is actually registered to the Emerald Tree Kingdom?" Commander Vargas was instantly shocked to hear the location of the base of the Mischievous Lion Guild. He really didn't expect that it's actually located in the territory of the Emerald Tree Kingdom... No, the exact word is, "Just when did such a powerful Guild appear in their territory?!"

"Temporarily registered," Leo corrected, and continued, "We just arrived here not so long ago. To be precise, just yesterday morning,"

"Why didn't I receive any report yesterday about the arrival of a powerful Guild?! Those people in the Intelligence Department are really going to get a piece of my mind for slacking off. If I haven't come here, then I would have still remained oblivious about your Guild's arrival!" Commander Vargas exclaimed with contempt. He's really displeased about the irresponsibility of his men. In the next moment, he quickly changed the topic, "Anyways, how about let's go to my palace and talk? Don't misunderstand me, this is just part of the protocol whenever a powerful Guild appeared during the Emerald Event,"

Hearing the mention of a 'Protocol', Leo immediately became curious as he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Let's continue talking in my palace, you know," Commander Vargas said while pointing at the surrounding people using his eyes, "Although I've long already casted a Sound Barrier around us so that the surrounding people wouldn't be able to hear our conversation, but it's still not safe because there are some people who can read the words through the movements of our lips,"

"Oh, you're right," Leo nodded his head in agreement.

"Shall we?" Commander Vargas said with a smile.

"Lead the way," Leo replied.

In front of the dumbfounded eyes of the surrounding people, Commander Vargas respectfully leads Leo and his group towards the main gate in front and then straight towards the direction of his palace in the Emerald City.
