The moment Leo and the others appeared, an angry-looking Captain immediately greeted them.

"What took you a bunch of useless men so long to arrive? Don't you know that the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance is already on our doorstep? One wrong move and it might cause us to lose this entire battle!" The Captain scolded Leo's group. He then pointed at the 2 cannons in front and continued, "Quickly go man those cannons, don't waste any more time!"

Leo just nodded his head before moving towards those cannons. Arriving before the cannons, he then split the group into 2 with each cannons having 10 people, or more precisely 10 Earth Elementals and 10 people.

Afterwards, he quickly began looking for Ethan's group, which only took him less than a second as the latter was coincidentally looking at him right this moment. Their location was 4 cannons away from them.

Ethan quickly sent a signal to Leo on what to do, since Leo has only told them that they will think of the plan the moment they see the situation up on the walls.

However, what kind of plan could they even think about with over 500 soldiers surrounding their location? Not to mention, this was just a small part of the south wall, specifically, the far end of the south wall in the west. If he looks at their east, he would immediately see more than 2,000 soldiers.

The wall of the Silver city was unlike the Southern Fortress, where there are only more or less 1,000 soldiers on top of the wall. In here, an entire Silver Division, specifically the 9th Silver Division, was assigned to protect.

The entire south wall is separated into 5 parts with 2 Captains and 2,000 soldier in each part, 1,000 soldiers should be preparing for war right now, 500 soldiers on top of the wall, and another 500 soldiers somewhere he still doesn't know where yet.

No matter what they do, with them only having 25 people present here, or 35 if they included the 10 Earth Elementals, it would still be next to impossible to secretly kill people in this place. Not unless if they have all their 1,000 men hiding below the forest in front of them right now. Only by then could they start killing all 500 soldiers stationed in this part of the south wall.

Leo signaled his hand to 'follow him' down to the stockroom, which Ethan nodded in affirmation.

"Captain, I need to grab more iron balls for the cannons!" Leo said to the Captain.

"Affirmative, go, and quickly bring them back!" The Captain nodded in agreement after looking at the number of iron balls for the cannons.

Hearing that, Leo immediately got down to the stockroom. Arriving inside, he quickly noticed that no one was present.

Soon after, Ethan finally arrived.

"What do we do now? There's just too many of them for us to handle." Ethan quickly expressed to Leo that this mission was next to impossible to complete.

"Don't worry, I have a perfect plan to handle this." Leo said.

"What plan?" Ethan curiously asked.

"Wait," Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face.

After a few minutes, the Captain suddenly barged in the stockroom, yelling, "WHY ARE YOU BOTH JUST SLACKING AROUND HE..."

The Captain wasn't able to finish his words when a dagger was thrown straight to his head, killing him afterwards.

*Thud!

"Quickly close the door and hide that Captain's body somewhere hidden." Leo right after ordered Ethan, who was still dumbfounded at him after he killed the Captain.

Hearing Leo's words, Ethan quickly snaps out of his thoughts before he swiftly moved to close the door of the stockroom and soon after carried the Captain's dead body somewhere hidden.

Meanwhile, Leo immediately grabbed a cloth that was used to cover the box of the metal balls before he covered the stain of blood on the floor.

"Leave that to me," Ethan calmly said to Leo as he grabbed the cloth before he casted a ball of water and drenched it right after. Afterwards, he swipes the blood-stained floor clean. Once he finished doing that, he threw the bloodied cloth somewhere that no one can see. He then went to the door and blocked it with his body before he slowly turned to look at Leo, his calmness immediately gone and was now replaced with panic as he exclaimed but in a silent voice, "Why did you freaking do that?!"

"Why?" Leo replied, seemingly nonchalant about it as he slowly walked towards where Ethan hid the Captain's dead body.

"Everyone will start to suspect something if the Captain goes missing!" Ethan exclaimed in the same silent voice.

"Indeed, they would," Leo replied, still nonchalant about as he squats down and started removing the Captain's armor.

"Since you knew that, then why did you still decided to kill- Wait! What are you doing?" Ethan soon after became dumbfounded the moment he saw Leo removing the Captain's armor. He continued, "Do you perhaps want to disguise as the Captain?!"

Hearing that, Leo shook his head and replied, "Me? I have a lot of things to do than to pretend as the Captain." He then threw the Captain's armor to Ethan and continued, "Instead, you will be the one to pretend as the Captain."

"What?!!!" Ethan was shocked beyond belief by Leo's words. This time, he wasn't exclaiming in a silent voice anymore but had completely shouted.

*Thud! *Thud! *Thud! *Thud! *Thud!

With Ethan's loud shout, footsteps of the soldiers on top of the wall quickly followed after.

The moment Leo heard those running footsteps, he simply showed Ethan a mischievous smile on his face.

*Bang!

The door of the stockroom was soon after flung opened by a dozen of soldiers.

"What happened?"

"Look, a dead body!"

"Who are you?"

"Quickly turn around or else we will kill you!"

"You dare... Captain...!"

Every soldier was immediately dumbfounded the moment they saw that the man they were threatening just now turns out to actually be their Captain.

At this moment, Ethan was now wearing the complete armor of the Captain while swearing at Leo inwardly for leaving him with no choice but to wear the armor. The moment the running steps of the soldiers were heard, and Leo's mischievously smiling face, he was left helpless but to wear the Captain's armor as quickly as possible before the soldiers could see how he looks like. Of course, that also includes the helmet that can fully cover the face which the Captain usually just carries on his hand, which was the exact reason why Leo was able to easily kill the Captain awhile ago.

With the soldier not seeing the real face of the Captain because of the helmet covering the entire face, the soldier could only believe that Ethan was their Captain. Additionally, the soldiers were also not able to see the face of the dead body, only the legs, just like what Leo intended to do.

"Captain, why is there a dead body over here?"

"Di... did a fight happened just now, resulting in that person's death?"

"Stupid! That's obviously what happened here. That man definitely tried to fight with the Captain, causing him to die!"

Ethan shook his head and quickly corrected, "Actually, the reason is I found out that the two were slacking around, so I killed one of them to show the other what will happen to him if he dares to be lazy. "He paused and pointed at Leo, "You bring that dead body down and bury it somewhere away from my sight! And do it quick, or else you will soon after follow that dead guy."

"Yes, Captain!" Leo exclaimed before carrying the Captain's dead body. Of course, he covered the Captain's head with a helmet so that the soldiers wouldn't be able to recognize that this was actually their real Captain.

But before Leo could move, Ethan turned to look at the dozen soldiers as he exclaimed, "The rest of you, quickly return back to your assigned position!"

"Yes, Captain!" A dozen soldiers exclaimed in unison before running back on top of the wall.

Ethan was worried that the soldiers might suspect that something is wrong the moment they saw the Captain's dead body being stripped off by all of its armor. Even if they can't see the face, the soldiers could easily guess what had happened as they were not stupid. No one would strip someone else's armor after killing them, right? At least, not in their current case right now.

The moment the soldiers left, Ethan immediately run to the door and closed it tight. He then removed the helmet and asked in fear, "What are we going to do now?"

Leo simply shook his head and said, "I'll use this opportunity to get the others here so that we can start slowly replacing the Silver royal family's soldiers on top of the wall with our own men. Meanwhile, you will keep on stalling for time, got that?"

Hearing Leo's words, Ethan finally understood what Leo was really planning to do, "Okay, but just be quick. We still don't know yet what other plans the Silver royal family is planning to do related to the south wall. With me being the Captain now, it's definitely possible for me to be called out by General, which might just cause us to get found out."

"Don't worry, you will slowly be seeing soon our men replacing those soldiers on the top of the wall." Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"I'll be counting on that!" Ethan said before leaving Leo alone inside the stockroom as he quickly made his way back on top of the wall.

"You can definitely count on me," Leo whispered to himself before also leaving the stockroom while carrying the Captain's dead body in his hand.
