With that little episode of Leo being fought over by 4 beautiful women done, it was finally time to go back to the main topic.

The 50+ Flyingboats slowly flew towards the Heart city. And when the night was finally coming, they finally saw the silhouette of Leo's manor on top of the hill in the middle of the Heart city.

At this moment, thousands of camps were set up outside of the Heart city's south gate, with tens of thousands of extremely exhausted soldiers taking a rest. The lights of the houses inside Heart city's wall were almost all lit up, bringing light to the entire city. And at the top of the hill, specifically at the side of the manor, were a few people looking straight at the incoming Flyingboats.

Although Leo was far from Heart city, he could already see that the figures were Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain, with Angel, Ash, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, Number One to Number Ten, George, Charles, Karl, Butler Xiao, Headguard Kevin, Fatty Ben, and Van kneeling in front of them, suffering the punishment they received for disobeying orders and lending a hand to those who disobeyed orders.

Leo simply shook his head helplessly while seeing this as he already accepts in his mind whatever the punishment of his action would be.

If this was in the past, disobeying orders would have earned him hundreds of whips from his Master Olivia.

Orders were called order specifically because they are words that should be followed. And strictly following orders is also what makes an army united. If one dares to disobey an order, they are ought to be punished in order to discourage others to do the same thing, no matter who they are and what they are. He had once read a book that said even back on Earth this was also a thing for every country's army. And it was said that it is the reason why they can win wars.

Leo turned to look at Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine as he said, "We would definitely be punished after disobeying orders, so prepare yourselves."

"Okay..." Cassandra nodded her head in affirmation. As a Princess of Crimson Rose Kingdom, she knows just how strictly followed were orders, and that if they failed to follow it, they would be punished for it. So, she completely understood Leo's words.

"Isn't this a bit unreasonable? We still returned safe and even succeeded in our mission, so we should not be punished anymore!" Elizabeth quickly voiced out her disagreement.

Charlotte tap Elizabeth's shoulder, making her turn around before she shook her head and said, "No matter what the result of the mission was, it still won't change the fact that we have disobeyed orders."

"Indeed," Ethan said in agreement. He then continued, "Think of it this way, if a single person disobeyed an order and returned successfully but wasn't punished afterward, everyone would then start having this mindset that as long as they are successful when they returned they won't be punished anymore even if they disobeyed an order. This might seem good, and might even be deemed like this would improve the chances of victory because they had learned the need to adapt and improvise. But what if in a battle everyone starts doing different things that they have deemed is correct, do you really think that they can really defeat a united army? The answer is, they can't! In fact, this would just speed their defeat because their opponents would be able to easily kill one soldier after another by using their numerical advantage. That's why, no matter what and who you are, you will still be punished once you disobeyed an order, regardless of the result."

"Let's just prepare ourselves, surely they won't be that harsh..." Princess Elaine added.

Hearing Ethan's explanation, Elizabeth finally understood the importance of following orders.

After tens or so of minutes of flying, the 50+ Flyingboats finally landed outside the Heart city's east wall.

Everyone inside the Flyingboats right after disembarking. The soldiers of the Snow Noble Household quickly began setting up tents, the Logistic personnel transported the supplies they needed for this battle, those who knew how to cook began cooking for dinner, and those that were in-charged of the maintenance of the Flyingboats began checking the status of all the Flyingboats.

Meanwhile, Leo and the others walked towards the east gate along with Patriarch Vincent Snow, Patriarch Walter Skull, and Patriarch Simon Honoris to meet up with Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain, the respective real authority of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance.

The moment they arrived before the Heart city's east gate, they finally saw the silhouette of Queen Olivia alone.

"Welcome to Heart city, Patriarch Vincent Snow, Patriarch Walter Skull, Patriarch Simon Honoris, oh, and your Majesty, Queen Triana." Queen Olivia immediately greeted.

"It's an honor to finally meet you, Queen Olivia!" Patriarch Vincent Snow greeted back. And base on how he had called her Queen Olivia, it was obvious to see that he already foresee them winning this battle.

"I've heard a lot about the famous President of the Mischievous Lion organization, but I've never expected she would be as beautiful as this!" Patriarch Walter Skull bowed his head a bit as a sign of courtesy.

"Thank you for taking care of Veronica, Queen Olivia," Patriarch Simon Honoris express his gratefulness.

"You don't have to call me 'Queen' anymore, just calling me Madam Triana is fine." Madam Triana doesn't dare to call herself Queen anymore in front of Queen Olivia, as the latter was obviously going to win this war with the Snow Noble Household reinforcement added to her army.

"Let's just skip down the courtesy and get down into business. Please follow me," Queen Olivia said. But before she leads the way, she suddenly turned to look at Leo who was trying his best not to get noticed by her, "As for you young man, don't try to escape again as we both still have something important to discuss about."

"Okay..." Leo replied with a sigh.

"Okay, let's go this way, ladies and gentlemen," Queen Olivia finally began leading the way.

Because walking to the manor on top of the hill was just so troublesome, Queen Olivia lead them to a small Barracks nearby the east gate where Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain were already waiting inside.

"All of you can go inside to begin your discussion. As for me, I have other important things to do such as disciplining my student," Queen Olivia said as she shoots Leo a sharp look, making him feel like an electric current has just gone through in his body.

"Please enjoy!" Patriarch Vincent Snow said as he can't help laughing at Leo's misfortune. In his mind, he thought, "Good, this is what you get for not being contented with my daughter Elizabeth, hmph!"

"Then I hope he can learn some important things in life." Patriarch Simon Honoris said with a smile on his face, or more appropriately, a displeasing smile.

"Then, please excuse us," Patriarch Walter Skull said before pushing both Patriarch Vincent Snow and Patriarch Simon Honoris inside the Barracks.

"Please don't be rough with him. He still did a lot of good things to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance as a whole." Madam Triana said to help lessen Leo's punishment before walking inside the Barracks.

"I sure will," Queen Olivia nodded her head with a smile on her face. But looking closely at the smile, it was easy to see that it was somewhat stiff. "Now then,"

The moment the three Patriarchs and Madam Triana went inside the Barracks, Queen Olivia then slowly walked towards Leo and those remaining others who have helped him.

"All of you, come with me!"

With a snap of Queen Olivia's hand, Leo, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, Princess Elaine, and Veronica were immediately teleported inside the manor on top of the hill.

Although Veronica wasn't in any way included to receive the punishment, Queen Olivia still decided to take her so as to let her see for herself how others will be punished after saving her. Her intention was to make Veronica realized that she needs to become strong if she doesn't want Leo and the others to receive a punishment for saving her once again due to her being weak.

The moment they arrived, they immediately saw Angel, Ash, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, Number One to Number Ten, George, Charles, Karl, Headguard Kevin, and Fatty Ben being punished with an extremely hard physical exercise, such as a push-up with ten to twenty bricks on top, curl-ups with a few dozens of pounds of iron put in their clothes, and many more, while Butler Xiao and Van were punished through letting them finish all the documents they needed to read and sign relating Heart city's development.

"Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine, go and do the same thing as Angel and the others," Queen Olivia said, "As for you Leo, take off your clothes."

Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine nodded their heads before going to Angel's side and doing the same punishment as them. But their attention wasn't focusing on their punishment, but rather on Leo.

"You have not only disobeyed an official order but also took dozens or so of people to help you. This has caused a lot of negative influence to our Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, as they have seen their very own Commander not following orders. Aside from this, you also ordered a few of them to do an extremely dangerous task like planting Magic bombs in the Silver city walls. Therefore, you are hereby stripped of your status as the Commander of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and will be receiving 200 whips from me. Are you prepared?" Queen Olivia said. Her punishment may sound like too much, but actually, the only real punishment that Leo has really received was the 200 whips because the Commander title is just a temporary rank given for this war only. This war would be ending soon anyways, so stripping it off this moment or when the war is finally over is still the same, considering the fact that Leo wouldn't be leading anymore in this battle against the Silver royal family. The true purpose of mentioning it was to tell Veronica that because of her being weak, Leo has lost an important position in the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance.

Leo was smart enough to quickly understand his Master Olivia's real intention. Truthfully saying, this was the exact same as what he had done to Cassandra before, though he was much more crueler. But that was only because different times require different countermeasures. At that time, Cassandra was still stuck in her belief that she is a proud Princess of the Crimson Rose Kingdom, so he needs to be crueler to let her see the current reality of her life.

"I'm!" Leo said before taking off his clothes and turning to look at the bright moon up above the sky.

"Then," Queen Olivia took out a whip from her Storage Ring. With a wave of her hand, the whip came hitting down towards Leo's back.

Whooosh!

Bang!

"1!"

"Hm..." Leo sounded in pain.

Whooosh!

Bang!

"2!"

"Hmm..."

Whooosh!

Bang!

"3!"

"Hmmm..."

Whooosh!

Bang!

"....."
