The moment Leo and Slave 1 to Slave 20 arrived, they immediately saw Ethan, Chief Lago, Sebastian, and Dan on top of a first-story house nearby the door leading to the top of the south wall, though just a tiny part, silently watching. Obviously, they were scouting.
"How's the situation, can we go in that door?" Leo immediately asked the moment he arrived beside Ethan.
"It's hard to say, I've seen many soldiers going in and out every minute." Ethan replied as he turned to look at Leo.
"So this means the only thing we can do right now is to kill and use their armor and stuff as a means to disguise ourselves as one of them?" Leo said as he walked forward and coincidentally see a group of 20 soldiers walking out of the door, "I guess that's indeed the only thing we can do about it."
"Most likely," Ethan nodded.
"Then let's quickly start moving." Leo said before jumping down into the first-story house. Ethan and the others nodded their heads in affirmation before they quickly followed after.
The moment they landed, they immediately attracted the attention of those soldiers that just came out of the door.
"Who are you!" The Leader of the group pointed his sword towards Leo's group, which was quickly followed after by all of his men.
Leo didn't bother to answer the question as he immediately threw a dagger straight to that Leader's head.
Whooosh!
The Leader was completely caught off guard by Leo's sudden attack, which caused him to be too late to defend his head against the dagger. Right after, his body slowly fell to the ground, dead.
Ethan and the others didn't bother waiting for Leo to order them to attack as they quickly charged straight and began killing all of those 19 soldiers.
Whooosh!
Clang!
Szzzhhhh!
Slashhh!
A few moments later, all the soldiers finally die while Ethan's group didn't receive a single casualty at all. After all, Ethan is a 1st Galaxy Mage, Chief Lago is a 9 Star Mage, Sebastian and Dan are both 7 Star Mage, while Slave 1 to Slave 20 were all 3 Star level.
The next moment, Ethan and the others then immediately carried all those dead bodies and took them inside the house they jumped out from before.
Seeing that they were done, Leo quickly summoned a Water Elemental and ordering it to clean the blood on the ground. With the still ongoing rain, it was not out of place to see the ground wet. In fact, the only reason he even bothered washing the blood off using a Water Elemental was to quickly remove the blood, because relying on the rain alone will take more time for the blood to finally be washed away, which might just cause it to be seen by the Silver royal family's soldiers. Better be safe than sorry.
Afterwards he went inside the house and immediately saw Ethan and the 19 others now fully wearing the soldier's armors with those soldiers' dead bodies arranged neatly on the ground. If this was the Black organization, then they would have definitely burned their bodies. But since they were soldiers of the Silver royal family, hence they definitely deserve to be buried in a complete piece and with honor as they have died fighting for what they believe was right.
"Those who are now wearing armors can go up, while the rest stay with me here to wait for another batch." Leo said.
"Then we will be going first," Ethan said as he wore a helmet to hide a bit of his obviously recognizable face and bringing with him Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and Slave 1 to Slave 16 to go to the door that leads to the top of the wall, leaving Slave 17 to Slave 20 with Leo.
Leo nodded as he went with Slave 17 to Slave 20 back to the roof to see Ethan and the others off.
The moment Ethan and the other got inside the door, Leo didn't let his eyes leave that place. It was only after he became sure that nothing bad had happened to them did he turned to look at the incoming soldiers. This time, there were coincidentally 5 soldiers only. However, unlike before who were leaving to take their break, the soldiers this time were carrying supplies, obviously Logistics personnel.
Leo can't help shaking his head in regret. Although there were coincidentally 5 soldiers, they, unfortunately, can't disguise as one of them because they were of Logistics personnel, which means after carrying the supplies on top of the wall they would then be needing to go down immediately to carry more, meaning they can't stay on top of the wall.
"Let's wait for another batch," Leo informed the others.
After 5 minutes, the Logistics personnel left the door and returned to where they came from.
20 minutes later, a group of 20 soldiers made their way out of the wall which unfortunately Leo still didn't choose to attack.
His reason for not attacking this time was that he finally realized that he actually needs to observe and familiarize himself with how the Silver royal family arranges the distribution of troops to the wall first before finally going up. Like for example, is the number of soldiers that leave be the same amount of soldiers that will go up the wall? Is the amount of soldiers that leave always be 20 soldiers? How long would those soldiers on break have? How long would those that will replace their position arrive? Are there different kinds of armors for different squads or positions that they will have on the wall? And so on and so forth. This will help them avoid looking very suspicious later on while they are still trying to slowly replace the soldiers on the wall with their own.
After 20 minutes of waiting, a new group of 20 soldiers arrived and went up the wall. The same amount of soldiers that left, and the same armor as all the soldiers they have seen, including the Logistics personnel.
20 minutes later, a group of 15 soldiers left the door, making their way towards the place where they would be spending their break.
10 minutes later, 5 Logistic personnel arrived once again to carry some supplies to the top of the wall. And after 5 minutes, they go down and left.
To be honest, this task was supposedly for Ethan to handle, because observing the enemy's arrangements should have been the task left to the scouts. Though Ethan wasn't a scout to begin with, so it's somewhat understandable that he didn't know about this. And fortunately, nothing wrong has happened, although the time of those soldiers leaving and Ethan's group arriving didn't match up at all.
This time, Leo quickly summoned 10 Earth Elementals to prepare for an incoming fight. He finally understood the arrangement of the soldiers. And after 20 minutes, a group of 15 soldiers will come to replace those that have left the wall. Although there are only 5 of them left here, but adding the 10 Earth Elementals present, he could cover up the lacking numbers.
"Prepare yourselves, our time to go up will be coming soon!" Leo informed Slave 17 to Slave 20, which all nodded in affirmation.
After 20 minutes, just like what Leo had expected, a group of 15 soldiers arrived to replace those that have left.
Before that group arrives nearby the door, Leo and his group along with the 10 Earth Elementals jumped down the first-story house and quickly went to attack them.
With Leo and the 10 Earth Elementals joining the fight, it only took them a minute and a half to kill 15 soldiers.
Slave 17 to Slave 20 quickly brought those dead bodies inside the house with the help of 8 Earth Elementals while Leo unsummoned the other 2 Earth Elementals to summon a Water Elemental as it then began cleaning the blood.
Afterwards he unsummoned the Water Elemental and summoned 2 Earth Elementals before he went inside the house.
The moment he got inside, Slave 17 to Slave 20 was already fully wearing the armors and were now helping the Elementals were their own. He had really forgotten that with the shape of the Earth Elemental's body right now, which is very rocky and spiky, it would be hard to put on the armor.
"Change into a Human form!" Leo ordered the Earth's Elemental.
Whoooosh!
Only when the Earth Elementals turned into the shape of those of humans were they finally able to perfectly fit with the armor. If others who are not aware of them actually being Earth Elementals saw them right now, then they would definitely not suspect a single thing as them being not Human, especially with their helmet that hides their face perfectly on and an armor that hides their entire body.
Leo nodded his head with a smile before he walked forward to begin wearing his armor.
Moments later, all of them were finally done. Without wasting any more time, all of them immediately went up to the wall. Right now, they were already considered very late, because they should have arrived on the wall 2 minutes ago.
Leo opened the door before stepping inside. In front of him, was long stairs leading up on the wall. Aside from that, it also leads to the stock room underneath the top of the wall.
After observing that, Leo then quickly made his way up on the wall. It was now time for them to begin with their operation to replace the Silver royal family's soldiers with their own.
