No matter how the 5 women looked at it, Leo's plan was extremely stupid. Although they have a 9 Star Battle Mage with them and a 3 Star Mage as well, that is still not enough to fight against thousands of soldiers. Even with the addition of Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel, which are all 1 Star Mage.
However, they have almost forgotten, except for Elizabeth, that Leo has his Elementals, so why should he worry about it? Although his Elementals weren't invincible, but with the right strategy and usage, they can become very lethal. In fact, his plan has already started moving.
"Charlotte, go and bring the others with you, all of you would handle the west wall. Leave this place to me." Leo turned to look at the others.
"Are you sure?" Charlotte asked worriedly. If she was present, she wouldn't worry about Leo's life, but if she's not by his side, would he really be alright?
"You don't need to worry, I already have everything prepared, just be careful with yourselves," Leo said as he motioned his hand seemingly like he doesn't want the 5 women in his sight.
Seeing this, the 5 women were immediately irritated. But, with how serious the situation was right now, they can't do anything to Leo, at least for now, just wait when until everything is over. This guy would definitely receive the beating of the 5 of them.
Seeing that the 5 women were finally away, Leo's eyes immediately turned very cold and sharp. The reason why he wanted them away was for them not to mess with his plans. Just from their reaction alone, it was already obvious to see that they would cause him trouble, so might as well just throw them somewhere else and make them argue with themselves on whether they should do it or not, specifically to handle the west wall. If they don't, then it doesn't matter. As soon as he finishes in the north wall, he would immediately go to the west wall.
"Now then, let's begin..." Leo smiled mischievously.
Unbeknownst to every soldier on the top of the north wall, 10 Earth Elementals were silently moving around while in a toy soldier form.
While moving, they have slightly altered the stone of the wall using Earth Manipulation, specifically, a stone has risen to secretly bound the soldier's feet without letting that soldier notice the stone or to make them slip, there were also a few inconspicuous spikes in some places, and many more traps that would be able to kill the soldiers when the right time comes.
Moments later, the 10 Earth Elementals were finally at the edge of Leo's range, specifically 1 kilometer after he broke through to 1 Star level, hence he could only helplessly order them to go back and prepare for the other parts of his plan. Even if he wanted them to continue going forward, it would only be useless because they would disappear once they cross the 1-kilometer distance.
"Now then, let's begin."
Leo didn't hide anymore as he finally goes up the stairs to the top of the wall.
Soldiers who have noticed him were soon after killed by daggers being thrown towards their head, though it was still enough to warn the others that an intruder has come.
"Quick, block the stairs!"
"What block? Just fight with him, he's only a single person!"
"Okay, then everyone who has nothing to do, grab your weapons, and let's kill this daring intruder!"
"Okay!"
"Alright!"
Soon after, dozens of soldiers blocked Leo's path forward. But he wasn't fazed about it at all as he continued walking forward.
"Ready?"
"Aim!"
"Fir-"
Suddenly, the stairs were destroyed, causing all the soldiers to fall down.
Meanwhile, a handmade out of stone took Leo's collar up before throwing him to the top of the wall.
An unfortunate soldier was blocking Leo's landing, hence he received his kick and a dagger straight to his head.
The moment Leo landed, the soldiers were momentarily stunned as they paused on everything they were doing. But, a second later, dozens of them immediately charged towards Leo.
Seeing this, Leo didn't just stay still as he went and meet with the soldiers.
"What the heck is this?! Ahhhh!"
"Don't, don't, ahhh!"
"Element... Elementals..."
Along with Leo's every step, an Earth Elemental would return to its Human-like form before killing the soldiers nearby them. Until eventually, all the Earth Elementals had revealed themselves, causing havoc and chaos to the soldier's formation. It also caused fear to surface in everyone's mind.
Leo would obviously not waste this opportunity as he quickly went cherry picking for lives.
Although Leo was just a 1 Star Mage, and his opponent's being consisted of No Star to 3 Star level, handling them wasn't a problem because they are still Humans nonetheless. If they were Magical Beast, then they would definitely be hard to handle, or if they were like teacher Marvin or someone in the Galaxy level.
Leo immediately noticed a soldier who was thrusting a spear towards him, hence he did a turn around to the side before kicking the wooden handle of the spear, easily splitting the spear into two and causing the soldier to go into a downward motion after losing his balance due to the kick to his weapon, which Leo then immediately grabbed the opportunity to kill that soldier by grabbing the soldier's weapon, pulling the soldier towards him, and then making the soldier eat his dagger.
Pluck!
After killing that soldier, Leo didn't waste any time as he went to another soldier just right behind his Earth Elemental's back.
He quickly ordered his Earth Elemental to grab his hand as he then swings his body to send a kick to that soldier's face, which the moment he landed on the ground he immediately stabbed the soldier's head with the dagger in his hand. Then he jumps forward to dodge an attack, causing those weapons to stab on that dead soldier's body.
The Earth Elemental then turned his body around, and the moment the soldiers looked at its face, their body immediately felt shivers as they noticed its mouth to form into something seemingly like a smile. It then grabbed both of their sides as the Earth Elemental soon after push them together.
"Ahhhh!"
"My bones are breaking!"
"Helppp!"
Along with the soldier's bone-cracking were their cries of help. Obviously, the Earth Elemental doesn't care about that as it just simply continued to squash their bodies into a meat paste.
Pluckk!
With the sound of the soldier's body being turned into meat paste, fear immediately consumed everyone's body.
What they were fighting right now were 10 Earth Elementals, and with their meager strength, can they even handle it? Basing on the information they have learned about Elementals, it was impossible for them, hence almost everyone dropped their weapons as they quickly began running away for their lives.
If only there was someone with sharp eyesight and a deep understanding of Earth Elementals, then they would have definitely noticed that Leo's Earth Elementals weren't the same as Nature's Wrath.
But obviously, Leo wouldn't just let them escape that easily. He ordered all of his Earth Elementals to give chase, while he on the other hand took the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance's flags as he began putting them on top of the wall, signaling to his soldiers down below that the walls are now theirs.
Seeing the flags, the morale of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance soar high while at the same time their enemy's morale plummeted down. In fact, even a few had already dropped their weapons and run away. After all, with their cannons and crossbows taken, they would be stuck in between two firing ranges of war weapons, which simply means death. Though all of them weren't members of the Black Organization, but rather just people who were forced to join this battle.
After putting the flag, Leo then continued killing the soldiers. Even if he has successfully made them run away, soldiers were still soldiers, hence they would definitely fight back once they realized that something was amiss. Also, what he had claimed was actually just a portion of the north wall, but those soldiers down below would obviously not see what's going on up here, hence he purposely put the flags first so as to make them assume that the north wall has been conquered by the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance already. In short, it's simply a psychological attack.
This kind of plan was actually considered as a layman's strategy. However, in their current case right now, specifically with the battle happening just right near the Southern Fortress wall, such a layman's plan has perfectly suited them.
Back on the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance's camp, Ethan who saw the flag immediately understood that Leo's plan has now begun, hence he immediately shifted the wheeled cannons and wheeled crossbows to focus all of their attacks on their opponents on the ground. This would end up risking the other side of the north wall to have a free rein of fire as they don't have anyone pressuring them anymore, but that doesn't matter since what matters is to perfect the psychological attack.
Ethan also sent another firework to signal the Sword and Magic soldiers inside the Southern Fortress to go to the north so as to man the cannons and the crossbows.
"Leo is really capable!" Ethan muttered.
"Of course he is! You obviously don't know this, but all of us who went with him to the Hundred Hills have seen what he had just gone through to become the current him." Princess Elaine at the side replied to Ethan.
Hearing this, Ethan's curiosity was immediately piqued, hence he turned to look at his wife, "And what exactly did you saw?"
"Would you believe me if I tell you that Leo just went through the Devil's playground many times?" Princess Elaine asked.
"Can you be more specific about this so-called Devil's playground?" Ethan asked.
"A world full of slaughter!" Princess Elaine replied as she then shifted her attention back to the battlefield. "Go and send the signal for the next step. I think Leo has already cleared half of the soldiers on the north wall.
Ethan, who was momentarily stunned after hearing what his wife had said could only reply, "Eh? Oh, okay!" He turned to look at the soldier at the side who was holding a firework, but because of how shock he was moments ago, he forgot that what he was supposedly going to do was to order the soldier to lit up a firework not grab the fireworks.
"What are you doing?" Princess Elaine asked Ethan when she saw him holding the fireworks.
"Ah... I forgot what I was supposedly going to do, hehehehe..."
"You!"
Smack!
"Aw, aw, aw! Help, someone is doing a friendly fire here! Save meeee!
