It took tens of minutes before Charlotte and the others could reach the rear of the enemy line. It was unexpectedly a considerable distance away, roughly around 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers from the front line.

Unlike the front line, there was hardly anything going on in this place. Even the sound of the battle could only be faintly heard. Also, one could only see a vague image of the north wall over here.

They can't help but be curious about how exactly can the members of the Naughty Elves organization effectively command the battlefield when it is so difficult for them to see the battlefield from here. But it didn't take them that long to understand that they don't really need to, since the Magical Beasts affected by Savage Fox Potions practically don't listen to anything, let alone from them, who had caused those Magical Beasts to become like that.

As for the reason why the Magical Beasts didn't turn around instead and attack the members of the Naughty Elves organization, it is because they have activated plenty of Magic Array to keep them away, which in this case to force those Magical Beasts towards the north wall of the Emerald City.

It was precisely because of such a method why these Magical Beasts had turned to attack the Emerald City. Of course, there are other reasons for that, but Charlotte and the others didn't bother to know since it is not important for their situation right now.

After stopping at an inconspicuous corner, Charlotte then turned to look at the others as she said, "We will be separating into different groups so as to finish our reconnaissance mission as quickly as possible,"

"Ethan, Elaine, Edward, and Sele would form the first group. And your group would be in-charged of recon at the center area,"

"Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre would form the second group. And your group would be in-charged of recon at both the north side and east side,"

"Iasiah, Nightingale, Elvis, and I would form the third group. And our group would be in-charged of both the south side and west side,"

"Once your group is done with your assigned location, quickly converge at the south where our group will be guarding the path back to the north wall,"

"Proceed!"

Instantly, the three groups separated from one another and proceeded to their assigned location.

Ethan's group went straight in order to arrive at the center area. While, on the other hand, Chief Lago's group swiftly began their recon since the east side was just right in front of them. Lastly, Charlotte's group went to the south as they were planning to go from there first, then go west before going back to the south again, where they will then be waiting for the other two groups to arrive.

...

Although the area of coverage at the center area wasn't really that big compared to the other locations around it, it was without a doubt the most dangerous place. After all, it is located right in the middle of the enemy formation. If one is not careful enough, then it would be very easy for them to get surrounded by their enemies.

Not to mention, the center area of their enemy formation would also be where the base of operation of all armies is normally located at. That is because, aside from being the most safest place of all, it would also allow them to easily provide assistance to all locations. Over there, one could already expect to find the elite soldiers and the assigned leaders of the Naughty Elves organization.

At this moment, Ethan's group had masked their presence to the lowest point possible as they used the thick clouds up from the sky as their cover, so as to not get noticed easily by anyone, including those powerful enemies, especially those with the same cultivation level as Ethan, that is if ever there is indeed any. Better be safe than sorry, since it would instantly become extremely dangerous for them if any of their enemies could notice them.

Soon arriving at the center, Ethan's team immediately saw a lot of tents, both big and small, randomly placed all over the area.

Just like what they had expected, the place was indeed where the elite members and the assigned leaders for this war of the Naughty Elves organization, and their base of operation were located at.

Not only that, the majority of the supplies for this battle were most likely located here, especially considering the thousands of boxes with different items inside that they could see around the place.

"Be extra careful, everyone here isn't just normal members of the Naughty Elves organization," Ethan quickly warned the others.

"We know," Elaine, Edward, and Sele nodded their heads in unison.

Ethan's group continued to move around, trying to gather as much information as possible, specifically from the estimated number of total elite members of the Naughty Elves organization and how many Leaders were assigned in the northern region, to the exact location of the supply boxes, since it was part of their plan to destroy their supplies so that they will have a huge problem with their logistics.

"As long as we can destroy these supply boxes, then our enemy's soldiers would be more or less crippled," Edward remarked.

What Edward had said was indeed correct. Once they crippled the logistics of the Naughty Elves organization, the armies spread all over the northern region of the Emerald City would begin experiencing the lack of many things, such as weapons, food, armors, and other necessary items for war. By that time they would become significantly weaker, thus affecting their performance, and then causing them to lose the war.

"Are you finished marking the locations?" Ethan asked both Elaine and Sele by his side, who were assigned to draw the map of the center area.

"Yes," Elaine and Sele nodded their heads in unison.

"Then, let's go!"

.....

While Ethan's group was still making their way to the center area, Chief Lago's group, on the other hand, had long already begun with their recon at the east side and are slowly making their way towards the north side.

Continuing to observe the entire east side, they soon noticed a strangely huge amount of soldiers being gathered at this place. It was almost like this place was where they gathered all of their soldiers around.

There were over tens of thousands of soldiers around, and it seems like this entire formation connects to the eastern region of the Emerald City, specifically to its north side. As such, it was impossible for them to give the accurate number of soldiers, or even just estimate the number of total soldiers as close as possible to the exact number.

As long as they can't observe the eastern region, then they could only make a record of the soldiers gathered at the east side.

Fortunately, as of now, the eastern region of the Emerald City wasn't yet part of their responsibility since they were only assigned to the northern region of the Emerald City. The person-in-charge of that place is Second Prince Elmore, so they can't just casually affect anything over there, lest they cause some undesirable effect to whatever Second Prince Elmore was planning on doing.

What they should be paying close attention to now instead is what is over on the north side.

Continuing to move to the north, Chief Lago's team eventually saw the Smiling Lion Village in front of them. Their faces couldn't help but turn bitter as they observed their temporary home already destroyed by the Naughty Elves organization.

The current state of the Smiling Lion Village is as if like a village it was just raided and burned by Bandits.

Fortunately, the core members of the Mischievous Lion Guild were long already informed by Leo to hide and trap themselves in the underground facility. Of course, with enough supplies to last them even for an entire year.

As for those so-called underground bunkers, Leo had indeed built a few of them, but it wasn't for the purpose of allowing their members to stay over there, but rather to act as the distraction to the Naughty Elves organization.

Once the Naughty Elves organization finds all the underground bunkers empty, they would most probably no longer bother searching for the underground facility, assuming that they have already finished searching everything in the Smiling Lion Village. It is also next to impossible for them to assume that such a place exists because the majority of the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild are somewhere inside the Emerald City right now, prepared and ready to join the war at any given opportunity.

Soon arriving at the north side, Chief Lago's team didn't felt any surprise at what they were seeing.

It was empty...

As expected, there was nothing to see on the north side. Probably because this place is the farthest to the battlefield. In addition to that, with the current arrangements of the battlefield, the north side is most likely going to be where the Naughty Elves organization would retreat if ever they lost the war.

There was nothing to be ashamed of or feel strange about the Naughty Elves organization preparing for their path of retreat, after all, even the Evergreen royal family themselves has their own contingency plan. They have long already prepared such a plan for themselves in case, if ever, they will, unfortunately, lost the war.

Reaching the opposite end of the north side and still seeing nothing worthy of value, Chief Lago's team finally decided to go south and meet up with the others.

"Time to go,"

.....

Meanwhile, Charlotte's team had already finished their recon at the south side at the same time it took for Ethan's group to arrive at the center area and Chief Lago's group to finish their recon at the east side.

They are currently moving to the west side now not knowing yet what was waiting for them over there.
