Once they were done with their work on the top of the wall, Elfin the Fifth, along with Charlotte and the other allies, quickly went back down to the ground.

They didn't really bring that many soldiers with them since this place they are at right now was supposedly a secret location. What they just didn't expect was it actually didn't remain as a secret for that long, since a member of the Naughty Elves organization had revealed its whereabouts. As a result, it marked the beginning of the war.

Since the soldiers were already in formation, they then quickly left to converge with most of the soldiers who are positioned near the north gate.

There is a small barracks nearby the north gate that they are currently using as their temporary base of operation.

Evidently, most of the soldiers were gathered near the north gate so that they could just easily leave the Emerald City and prepare for the war that would happen in the wilderness.

A few minutes later, Elfin the Fifth and everyone finally arrived at the barracks.

The moment they arrived, they immediately saw in their sight that all the soldiers were long already in their formation, and fully geared and prepared for the war.

It is fairly easy to guess that the moment the war weapons on the top of the north wall had begun frequently sounding and in addition to that one of the Nature's Cover was also activated, the war against the Naughty Elves organization had finally begun. So in a quick notice, they swiftly gathered together and formed their formation.

Without wasting any time, Elfin and everyone quickly joined the main formation.

Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild still kept their identities as a secret to the majority of the soldiers by covering their entire bodies with their black mantle, plus they used their superior cultivation level to decrease their presence as low as possible. They also didn't appear in any conspicuous places, such as being beside Elfin the Fifth. This was because they wanted to avoid attracting any unwanted attention. After all, they are one of the hidden trump cards of the Evergreen royal family.

If a member of the Naughty Elves organization was able to secretly slipped into the group of soldiers that they have brought with them before, then it is without a doubt also possible for them to have a few of their members among everyone here right now.

As of now, there are only a few people who knew about their real identities, and most of those people were either a part of their trusted allies or soldiers who were coincidentally able to see their faces during the quick fight on their previous location. Those soldiers on top of the wall aren't really a big problem since they can't just leave the place whenever they please, especially considering that the war has already begun, while there were only a few soldiers below the wall that had seen them, and all of them had already been ordered by Elfin the Fifth along the way to this place to swear an Oath to keep the secret for themselves.

After merging together with the main formation, Elfin the Fifth then calmly made his way towards the podium in front of everyone.

Soon arriving on top of the podium, Elfin the Fifth then informed everyone, "There should be no need for me to mention anymore that the war against the Naughty Elves organization has finally begun,"

"Just now, the situation had unexpectedly turned against our favor as the numerous Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potions launched their attacks to our wall. It was a horrifying sight and could have taken the lives of plenty of our comrades on top of the wall. Don't worry though, because fortunately we were able to avoid any casualties with the help of one of our trump cards,"

"Currently, the war is in stalemate as both sides have not taken any sort of advantages yet. We are expecting though that this situation would not last that long, because probably the Naughty Elves organization has already prepared their own countermeasures for such a situation,"

"But before any of that could happen, we will strike first!" Elfin the Fifth proclaimed loudly. Previously, he was supposedly planning to wait for the Naughty Elves organization to show their hands first before taking advantage of it. But he soon realized just how stupid his plan was because it seemed like every time their enemy made a move, it would in return immediately force them to reveal one of their trump cards instead. He can't possibly allow this kind of situation to keep on happening, as it might just eventually cause them to reveal all of their trump cards.

So as to fix such a problem, Elfin the Fifth had decided to strike first in order to force them to make a move, and only then would he decide to use their move to his advantage. Given the circumstances right now, once he made a move, the Naughty Elves organization would most likely show one of their own trump cards so as to maintain the current stalemate, or even best, break it so that they will have the advantage once again.

Elfin the Fifth continued talking about his plans, albeit in a vague manner, since not all of what he had said just now was going to be put into actual action. He had only said those plans so that the members of the Naughty Elves organization that are hidden among everyone here would report a wrong plan to their comrades. In short, he is planning to use the spies to his advantage. This was exactly what he meant about striking first, though he is doing it without anyone knowing, except for Charlotte and the other allies, of course.

"Everyone, please prepare as we will begin our march outside the Emerald City soon," Elfin the Fifth finally finished with his speech.

After he was done with his speech, Elfin the Fifth then went down the podium and went to meet with Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild.

"Before we begin our march outside the Emerald City, all of you would have to leave first to begin your reconnaissance mission," Elfin the Fifth ordered. He continued, "Return as quick as possible so that we can begin with the plans we have discussed previously,"

"We understand, your Highness, Elfin the Fifth," Charlotte and the others nodded their heads in unison.

Without anyone noticing, Charlotte and the others swiftly left the barracks and went out of the Emerald City.

The moment they arrived outside, they immediately saw the ongoing battle between the soldiers of the Emerald City on top of the north wall against both the Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potions and the members of the Naughty Elves organization.

After taking note of everything, Charlotte and the others then masked their presence to avoid anyone from detecting them. Once they were done with that, they then quickly began thinking of how they should circle around the enemies in front and reach the rear.

Because the entire northern region outside the Emerald City was enormous, with the ongoing war far-reaching from both ends of the wall, then continuing towards the other regions around the city, thus it was difficult to find any routes where one could sneak around.

There's practically a straight line with no holes in the formation of the Magical Beasts. Hence, wherever one goes, it is next to impossible to avoid encountering any Magical Beasts.

It would have been fine if only these Magical Beasts were normal, but since they are affected with Savage Fox Potions, this causes them to immediately attack whatever they see, regardless of how strong their opponents were.

Fortunately for Charlotte and the others, they have a superior cultivation level compared to the majority of the people on the battlefield right now. In addition to that, they have two people that can cast Dark Element Magic spells, specifically Charlotte and Nightingale, which can be used to further increase their success rate in sneaking inside the formation of their enemy without anyone noticing.

It didn't take that long for them to ultimately find the place with a much fewer number of Magical Beasts around.

Not wasting any time, Charlotte and the others quickly flew towards that direction while at the same time avoiding the exchange of attacks between both sides.

They are currently caught in the middle of the crossfire, so if they aren't careful, an accident is bound to happen. Though it would be next to impossible for them to accidentally die because of that, since they are more than prepared already for anything that could possibly happen on this battlefield, but it would without a doubt reveal what they are intending to do. At that time, it would be troublesome for them to proceed with their reconnaissance mission as the Naughty Elves organization already knew of their whereabouts.

Using their advantage, Charlotte and the others were soon able to successfully sneak inside the enemy formation without any of the nearby Magical Beasts noticing.

They were more aware already of the consequences if they don't quickly reach the rear, after all, they are now in the enemy's formation.. So they didn't bother with anything else and just continued making their way straight towards their destination as fast as they could.
