Meanwhile, on the other side of the map, Commander Nov has actually sent the 1st and 2nd Gold Division to look at the northeast, which is also another location far from the upcoming war between the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance versus Silver royal family. He hasn't actually betrayed the Silver royal family, it's just that he is bad at strategies. Aside from fighting, there is nothing else inside his mind. And when it comes to fighting as well, no one can stop him on what to do, even the Vice-Commander who keeps on persuading him to go to the south instead because they have already received the news that the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance has already arrived at Heart city, hence it wouldn't be long when they finally decide to attack the Silver city.
Commander Nov only replied to his Vice-Commander, "The war hasn't yet started, so it's much better for us to search for those intruders first!"
Which the Vice-Commander replied with, "We have the Silver Divisions to look for them!"
But only received the reply of, "They won't be able to win even if they find them. We are talking about the Mischievous Lion organization here, hence I should come and face them myself!"
With that reply, the Vice-Commander wasn't able to argue back anymore because what Commander Nov has said was indeed reasonable. For those people of the Mischievous Lion organization to come and go as they please inside the Silver royal family's castle, then they are definitely strong, so they need to send the elite soldiers after them as it might just be suicidal to send the Silver Divisions.
Unbeknownst to the two of them, it was actually Crown Prince Edward who has helped Queen Triana, Princess Tiana, and Veronica to escape from the underground prison, not the Mischievous Lion organization, so what they are thinking is an unexpected result from Crown Prince Edward's plot.
Because both Crown Prince Edward and Commander Nov has decided to search on the north, the 10 Silver Divisions were then left with no other choice aside from looking at the south direction, which is also going to be the main battleground of the battle between the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance versus Silver royal family.
Although there were a total of 100,000 soldiers in the entire 10 Silver Divisions, it would still not be enough if they indeed face off against an army that has more than 50 people in the Galaxy level.
It wasn't only that, the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance army also has tens of thousands of people with the cultivation of 5 Star level and above. Although a lot of them are currently still injured right now, it would still not be a problem for them to face off against 100,000 thousand soldiers who only have 10 Generals and a few dozens of Captains to lead. Once those Leaders died, the 100,000 soldiers wouldn't be able to easily fight off against an army with Leaders to lead the direction of the battle, especially if both of their Commanders still need some time in order to arrive, though it would only be Commander Nov helping them since Crown Prince Edward has already secretly betrayed them.
.....
With a lot of soldiers being deployed all around the Silver City to look for them, it wasn't hard for Leo and the others to got to know of the current situation, especially the current location of all the 10 Silver Divisions and 4 Gold Divisions.
"At this moment, the location of the soldiers are pretty much revealed plainly to us already, so what we need to do now is to look for the best route for escape." Leo said while looking at the map of the entire Silver city. Their plan in the very beginning was to escape amidst the chaos caused by the battle between the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance against the Silver royal family, but with the entire Silver city becoming really strict right now, he decided that it's much better to not wait for that anymore but rather create a new plan of escape.
"But how? Although we know where they are right now, it doesn't mean we can also leave from this place easily, right," Cassandra asked.
Hearing that, Leo simply smiled as he pointed at the sewer systems under the Silver city, "Because of a few missions I've completed in the past, I've become really familiar with the structure of the sewers. We will travel through the sewer in order for us to escape."
"But those sewers will also have soldiers guarding around, especially since that is the place where the Kingdom Protection Array was located before." Ethan rebutted.
"We will look for the less guarded place, and breakthrough." Leo said.
"And what place exactly is that?" Queen Triana joined in.
Leo moved his two hands, "To the west and east."
"But both those locations still lead towards our enemy. The west leads to the Black organization, while the east leads to another territory of the Silver royal family!" Elizabeth reminded. However, she suddenly thought of something...
"I guess you also realized it." Leo mischievously smiled, "At this moment, without the Silver royal family's knowledge, Vincent Snow, Elizabeth's father, is actually hiding in the Nine River Forest right now along with 50 Flyingboats that was said to have left to the Ice Mountain. They are currently waiting for the right time to reveal themselves and hoping to catch the Silver royal family in surprise."
"That..." Queen Triana, Ethan, and Princess Elaine were immediately surprised hearing this. Even Veronica, who was now part of the Snow Noble Household, was also unaware of this information.
"We will go east using the sewer system, but first we will need to send a message to Vincent Snow before doing that about saving us, and then wait until he arrives in order for us to escape." Leo explained. "So, pack up the things you think you needed because we will be leaving the moment we received Vincent Snow's reply."
Leo then slowly walked towards a caged Mail Bird before taking it out and passing it to Elizabeth, "As for you Elizabeth, pass a message to father-in-law about what I've just said. We will be getting out of here!"
Elizabeth can't help smiling after hearing Leo calling her father, father-in-law. It really made her feel that Leo is finally slowly accepting her as one of his women, "Okay, Darling~!"
Whoooosh!
The Mail Bird then left along with the letter requesting for help. Everyone also started preparing themselves the moment the Mail Bird left.
Just like the last time, they would need to wait for a few hours or so before receiving a reply from Vincent Snow due to how far he currently is. But this time though, aside from waiting, they also need to buy as much time possible until the reply arrives. As to why is that?
Looking in front of everyone, General Herbert of the 10th Silver Division has returned to surround the entire 10 Flyingboats, but this time he has bought all the 10,000 soldiers with him along with the entire Logistic team, and even a few war weapons, specifically cannons, in order to not let the Flyingboats easily escape if ever they planned to do so.
"What is the meaning of this, General Herbert?" A General from the Snow Noble Household, specifically Skull Noble Household, named General Wales, approached General Herbert and asked.
"King Erskine has ordered us to not let anyone from the Snow Noble Household leave Silver City. You can rest assured that unless you try to leave, no one here would try to attack your group." General Herbert replied.
"How about Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris?" General Wales asked.
"Both of them are currently having tea with King Erskine." General Herbert replied.
Hearing that, General Wales could only nod his head to show that he understood. He then turned around before walking to the Flyingboat where Leo and the others were currently hiding at.
"Sir Leo, I think it wouldn't be long for them to also start searching each of the 10 Flyingboats, so if you have any plans in mind, I can assure you that we will try our best to cooperate with you as long as it wouldn't endanger anyone of us here, including the safety of both Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris." General Wales said.
"I understand, you can leave first, just remind me if they are coming." Leo nodded his head.
"Alright!" General Wales turned to leave.
The moment General Wales left them, Leo shook his head before turning to look at the others with a solemn look on his face, "I think we won't be able to wait for that reply anymore. What we can only do now is leave towards east before General Herbert begins his search and hope that Vincent Snow will save us."
"Can't we not buy time until the letter finally arrives?" Princess Tiana asked.
"Unfortunately, that would be impossible..." It was Ethan that replied, "If we wait until the reply arrives, even if they can buy us until then, we would still risk revealing ourselves to General Herbert the moment we try to leave at that moment."
"Indeed, just the appearance of the Mail Bird delivering a letter to someone inside the Flyingboat alone would be enough to cause General Herbert to become suspicious." Charlotte added.
"Then, I guess we can only do that..." Queen Triana nodded her head helplessly.
With that said, Leo then called General Wales to help them escape towards the entrance to the sewer system.
It wasn't that hard for Leo and the others to successfully get inside the tent of the entrance of the sewer system through the help of General Wales because the Flyingboat and the tent were just a few meters away.
"Are you sure about this?" General Wales can't help asking. Leo's plan would involve both the safety of Elizabeth and Veronica, the two most important people of the Snow Noble Household right now, so he obviously needs some confirmation.
"What else can we do? It's not like we can still stay and wait for Vincent Snow's reply, right?" Leo smiled helplessly.
"Indeed..." General Wales also felt helpless, "Then I wish you goodluck!"
"I hope that your people will also be safe here!" Leo bid farewell.
After Leo and the others left through the sewer system, General Wales immediately ordered some soldiers to take down the tent and to also cover the entrance to the sewer system using Earth Magic spell in order for no one to suspect someone had escaped through this way.
