When afternoon finally arrived, Leo and everyone were finally prepared with everything for this battle against the Black organization. 

Queen Olivia was already wearing her Magical armor, and her twin sword was also sheathed at her waist.

Madam Silva was also no longer wearing her everyday business attire, but a majestic looking Magical armor. It was an armor really unlike Queen Olivia's Magical armor that was obviously of low quality. A high-quality Magic armor is just exactly what should be expected from a member of Sword and Magic.

Evangelion and Clydesdale were likewise in their Magical armor as well, standing at both sides of Madam Silva like her personal bodyguards.

At the side, 20 of the 24 Elders were also preparing themselves for this battle as they would be coming along to act as the Generals of the different squads in the Mischievous Lion organization's army and to also assist their Queen Olivia. The other 4 Elders could only bite their lips out of frustration of picking the short straw, hence they were left to defend the Heart city from the Silver royal family. 

At this moment, Queen Maria and Princess Elaine have already long left to meet up with their soldiers at the east ocean of Silver Kingdom. They would be entering through the Southeast Fortress, so there is no need for the two of them to come together with Queen Olivia and Madam Silva to the Southern Fortress.

"Leo, is everything ready?" Queen Olivia asked Leo who was currently wearing black clothes, unlike everyone who was wearing armor.

Truth be told, Leo was actually wearing these clothes not just for him to not get easily find out by their opponents as the Commander of the army, but also to secretly participate in the battle.

He was already determined to get more stronger and powerful ever since he was washed ashore to the Eclipse village, so he would obviously not just stay on the sideline and watch the battle.

Moreover, he also wants to see up close just how powerful Mages in the Galaxy level fight. So as to study and learn more things about them, which he can use for future purposes. Well, he has also missed a lot of days of cultivation and training, that's why he decided to use this battle as a learning material rather than just a battle between Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance versus the Black organization.

Hearing his Master Olivia's question, Leo began observing around, "It seems to me that everyone is also ready, so we can leave anytime you want."

Right now, everyone who would be participating in this battle was prepared at the foot of the hill which included Leo and the others back at the manor.

"Hahahaha," Madam Silva suddenly butted in with a laugh as she patted Leo's shoulder, "What anytime we are ready, it's when you are ready that we embark to Southern Fortress. You are assigned to be the Commander of this army, and we are just your Vice-Commanders, so we follow everything you order us to do!"

Leo can't help scratching his cheeks after hearing Madam Silva's words. Although he was the Commander, he was clearly aware of the fact that everything would still be up to Queen Olivia, Madam Silva, Queen Maria, Elder Rain, and the other important members of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance's hand to decide. He might be commanding the troops, but as long as there are no big changes on the battlefield, he would pretty much be doing nothing aside from watching. But, since they wanted him to be the one to initiate the battle drums, then he would gladly accept such an offer.

"Then," Leo slowly walked towards the wooden podium in the middle of the tens of thousands of soldiers, "I will gladly take your offer!"

While going up the podium, every step he was taking made everyone participating in this battle turn their heads to look at him, including the Noble Households living in the Heart city or those who have sworn loyalty to Mischievous Lion organization, the soldiers who would be fighting this battle which includes Magical Knights, Battle Mages, and Mages, and the last but not the least, the members of Mischievous Lion organization.

The moment he arrived on the podium, it was already everyone's attention that was looking at Leo.

Leo first breathes in and out to calm himself. He then suddenly turned to look at Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, and Charlotte who immediately showed him a beautiful smile of encouragement. He moved his eyes to look around trying to find Butler Xiao, Headguard Kevin, Fatty Ben, and Van, but he, unfortunately, wasn't able to find any of them, maybe because they were the busiest people amongst everyone else right this moment.

Afterward, Leo slowly walked in the middle of the podium.

Without bothering with any kind of courtesy or any usual introduction before going to war, Leo simply took his sword out from the sheath at his waist and pointed it to the Southern Fortress direction as he then said to everyone watching him, "Onward to where my sword is pointing at! Let the blood of our enemy flow amongst our wake! For the Mischievous Lion organization!!"

"For the Mischievous Lion organization!!"

"For the Mischievous Lion organization!!"

"For the Mischievous Lion organization!!"

Everyone immediately began marching to the Southern Fortress, with a domineering and courageous aura spreading all over their surrounding. Anyone who looks at them couldn't help take a step back out of fear.

Nevertheless, every citizen of Heart city still cheered for them while raining flowers on their heads.

Leo who was watching all of this sheathed his sword as he heaves a sigh of relief before slowly walking down the podium.

"I'll keep that for you." Cassandra put up her hand to carry Leo's sword.

Leo nodded his head as he took off the sheath of his sword before handing it to Cassandra. This sword was obviously just for display purposes since his main weapon has always been a dagger, so rather than wearing such a useless weapon for him, it's best to put it some place where it can be of use, maybe the storage room or the wagon where they had put the weapons they would be taking for this battle.

"If it was any other army, your words wouldn't have meant anything." Elizabeth mocked.

"It was fine." Angel commented.

"Sir Leo was almost like those heroes mentioned in the fairy tales!" Veronica, who left her duty to see Leo off said.

"Here's your weapon, Master Leo!" Charlotte handed Leo a twin dagger that was glimmering black in color. This was the dagger that Leo had been dreaming of having ever since he was young. In the past, he could only stare at this dagger inside the glass cabinet back in Gretchen's shop, for he was still unable to use any Magic weapons at that time.

Leo carefully took the twin dagger as he can't help gulping down a mouthful of saliva out of excitement.

Death Wake Dagger, this was the Magic weapon twin dagger that his Master Olivia had been using when she was still in her younger days. This dagger has earned its name, for it has taken tens of thousands of lives ever since it was created and handed to Olivia's hand. He especially likes the meaning of this twin dagger's name too since it meant to bring death on the wielder's path, or what his Master specifically called, walking over dead bodies.

Unlike any dagger he had wielded before, this Death Wake Dagger was longer and wider, nearly identical to short swords. This allows the wielder to easily take their target's life or to use it to deflect or defend other weapons.

Without wasting any more time, Leo stored the Death Wake Dagger in his Storage Ring before leading the others to the horses prepared at the side.

It was now time for them to also joined in with the army.

.....

At this moment, the situation for the ongoing battle between Ash and the Sword and Magic has turned extremely dire.

They were, unfortunately, losing due to their enemy having much more powerful soldiers, and the quantity was also something Ash's 2,000 soldiers can't easily handle. Not to mention, what she has are mere slaves too, so even though their cultivation was high, they still can't hide the fact that they are injured and have other kinds of internal injury.

What's even worse was, they were the one being under attacked, not the other way around. Hence, the one defending was on their side as well.

It would have been fine if their situation was only that, but their location right now was actually in a flat land, hence there is almost no way for her to use their geographical location for their advantage. Also, their opponent had actually ambushed them, for Fate knows why and how, hence they are now being surrounded with absolutely no chance of escape. In fact, the only reason they were able to defend was them using the carriages and wagons where they have put their supplies and resources as shields, and that they were luckily nearby a few tall and thick trees around that they were able to use for defending and attacking.

Despite that, the only people who can really say to be able to fight back were Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, old man Torre, those few 5 Star to 7 Star slaves, and a few war weapons such as wheeled cannons and wheeled crossbows. The rest was pretty much suppressed by their opponent's countless Magic spells.

On the other hand, Ethan has received a serious injury after shielding a sudden attack on Ash. Fortunately, his life was no longer in threat after receiving healing spells for hours and taking in some Magical medicines as well.

"What's the current situation of our opponent's side?" Ash asked one scout who was using an eyesight related Magic spell to observe the surrounding.

"Ma'am, they are slowly moving forward, and it seems like they are bringing out war weapons as well." The scout reported.

Hearing that, Ash quickly turned to look at the Cannon squad's direction, "1st and 2nd Cannon Squad, focus your attack at the enemi's war weapons. 3rd Cannon squad and all the Crossbow Squad, don't let the enemy move any closer to our perimeter or else we would be suppressed further!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"All Mage unit, rain your spells on the 8 different directions of the compass, whatever happens, don't stop. If you're tired, let someone replace you and rest to recuperate."

"Roger that!!!"

"Ma'am, hundreds of Magical Knights are now charging towards our direction." The scout quickly reported.

Ash's face turned even more solemn the moment she heard of the scout's grave report. If only they weren't ambushed, then they could have prepared themselves with complete armors and such, and even positioned some infantry of Magical Knights to handle their opponents as Magical Knights. Unfortunately, because their carriages and wagons were in a mess right this moment, weapons and armors were practically scattered everywhere. And with the ongoing rain of Magic spells and ranged weapons and war weapons, it was extremely hard to pick up those weapons and armors scattered on the ground. Hence, their enemies Magical Knight would obviously be able to easily handle their side's Magical Knight once they clashed with each other.

"When would Leo's support arrive!!" Ash can't help exclaiming in irritation. To be honest, them being ambushed was partly caused by the Mail Bird that Leo had sent to them as it had revealed their location.

Whoooosh!
