Rise My Elementals! - Chapter 781: The Secret of the Emerald Tree Kingdom

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

After the announcement of Elmont, the crowd started evacuating towards the exit in an orderly line. No one tried to cause any trouble or do stupid stuff such as moving to the front of the lines or something similar to that.

The soldiers of the Evergreen Royal Family and their allies also did their best to speed up things so that they could evacuate everyone from the Victory Arena to the secret pathway before it was too late.

All the participant’s teams who were not considered allies of the Evergreen Royal Family were temporarily dispatched to assist the evacuation and to increase the overall manpower of the Victory Arena. Because of this, the evacuation became even more smoother.

Meanwhile, Leo went back to the room of the Mischievous Lion Guild to gather everyone.

Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, Ahmed, Vanessa, Brad, Jessica, and Iliad congratulated him when he entered the room after winning the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.

After expressing his appreciation to everyone, Leo didn’t waste any time as he asked, “I believe that all of you knew already what to do?”

“Yes!” Cassandra and the other immediately nodded their heads in affirmation.

Unlike everyone, including the majority of the allies of the Evergreen Royal Family as well as the Red Fist Guild and the Elves Secret Organization, the Mischievous Lion Guild was actually given another task by King Elfin the Fourth. This task was somewhat special and could only be performed by the Mischievous Lion Guild, which is because of none other than Leo.

King Elfin the Fourth knew from the moment Leo helped the Evergreen Royal Family clear all the hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization hiding in their castle that the latter had some sort of unique capability that allowed him to see the real identity of a person. In short, he believed that Leo was a Special Mage. Even though the latter didn’t tell him about it, as the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, he just feels like this was what Leo is hiding about.

With that assumption in mind, King Elfin the Fourth secretly gave the Mischievous Lion Guild a secret operation that they would execute during the evacuation inside the secret pathway.

“The Isolation Magic spell has already been activated,” Ash informed Leo.

“Well done,” Leo smiled at Ash before turning to look at everyone again. He continued, “Although we have completely cleared all the members of the Naughty Elves Organization hiding amongst the spectators, we still haven’t entirely cleared their members hiding amongst the different participating teams since we didn’t have enough time to eliminate all of them during the previous four games,”

Cassandra and the others could only smile bitterly after hearing Leo’s reminder. That’s right. They weren’t actually successful in their previous operation despite how good their performance was after all this time. In the end, some of the hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization were still able to safely pass the games without getting killed by their alliance. And now those people are secretly blending within the crowd with no one knowing where exactly they are right now, except for Leo, of course.

That was why the Mischievous Lion Guild was the perfect candidate to execute this secret operation.

“As we all already know, the job of those hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization that we have completely eliminated before was to blow up the entire Victory Arena. However, we noticed that their comrades within the participating teams didn’t make any moves despite seeing their other comrades being killed by our people. This only means to say that the Naughty Elves Organization had prepared two plans for their operation. The first one was ruined by us. But the second plan isn’t yet,” Leo started briefing everyone. He continued, “I am assuming that their second plan is to blend in with us in order to locate where the secret passageway is leading towards and then report to the Naughty Elves Organization,”

“As to what they are going to do with that information. I only have two assumptions in mind. Firstly, they plan to attack the safe place after discovering it. They either plan on making another diversion, or they plan on holding us as hostages, considering that three of the children of King Elfin the Fourth and Queen Tina is amongst this group of people,”

“And the second assumption, which is something that I am not entirely sure about whether it’s true or not, the Naughty Elves Organization might be thinking of using us to look for something important,” Leo vaguely described. He quickly added, “Elvis had informed me before that the Emerald Tree that everyone can see in the Emerald City is actually not the real Emerald Tree. He said that the Evergreen Royal Family had hidden the real Emerald Tree somewhere that no one could find except for the members of the Evergreen Royal Family,”

“I also heard something about that,” Jessica suddenly butted in conversation. She continued, “Apparently….”

“Apparently,” Leo interrupted Jessica as he narrowed his eyes while looking at her.

“Sorry…” Jessica quickly apologized after realizing her mistake. She was too excited just now since she had been studying the topic of the Emerald Tree for many years now. That’s why when she heard Guild Leader Loki talking about it, she couldn’t help butting in.

“As I was saying,” Leo continued speaking, “Apparently, in the previous war, the Naughty Elves Organization discovered that the Magical Beast living in the Emerald Forest, including those affected with Savage Fox Potion, still didn’t dare to approach the territory even after the Emerald Tree in the Emerald City was destroyed,”

“In addition to that, there is also the question that no one can still answer to this date about how exactly did the army of King Elfin the Fourth successfully sneaked inside the Capital City of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, the Emerald City, in the past, without any of the members of the Naughty Elves Organization noticing their movements,”

“It was said that seemingly out of nowhere, a huge army appeared in the headquarters of the Naughty Elves Organization and surrounded their people. It was so fortunate for the Naughty Elves Organization since King Darius wasn’t in the Emerald City during the event of King Elfin the Fourth taking over the Emerald City. Supposed King Darius didn’t leave the headquarters of the Naughty Elves Organization at that time. In that case, the war against the Naughty Elves Organization in the past would have ended very quickly,”

“I believed that the Naughty Elves Organization assumed that we are going to evacuate the people in the Victory Arena towards a secret pathway leading towards the likely location of the Emerald Tree. So, our mission is to prevent any of this from happening by killing the remaining members of the Naughty Elves Organization,”

“Just a precaution, we will be eliminating the remaining hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization in secret. After all, we still haven’t confirmed yet whether they can blow themselves up or not. If by any chance it turns out to be the latter, then even if they don’t achieve their plan in the end, it would likewise prevent us from evacuating,” Leo warned everyone solemnly. He suggested, “To do that, I recommend that after killing them, you will immediately store their bodies inside a different Storage Ring to avoid letting their other members from finding out,”

“We understand!” Everyone nodded their heads in acknowledgment. Indeed, to prevent anyone from noticing that something is wrong, it is best to temporarily store the bodies of the members of the Naughty Elves Organization inside their Storage Ring.

“I have already determined from all the previous games which of the participating teams have hidden members of the Naughty Elves Organization with them,” Leo waved his hand, quickly taking out a bunch of paper listing those said participating teams. He continued, “So, what I want you to do is to follow those teams listed there without raising any suspicion until I arrive. Only when I arrive will we decide what to do with the members of the Naughty Elves Organization,”

“I already talked with Orcborg before. He agreed that their members will be cooperating with us,” Leo motioned his hand towards the door of the room and said, “I still have another important thing to deal with. As such, I’ll be leaving it to all of you to meet up with the Red Fist Guild and discuss with them about what is the possible way to follow people without raising any suspicion,”

“Good luck,” Leo expressed as Cassandra and the others bid farewell and went out of the room.

As soon as Cassandra and the others left, a figure of a person suddenly walked out from a secret pathway hidden inside the room.

If someone else other than the important members of the Mischievous Lion Guild sees this person, there’s no doubt that they will be shocked. That’s because this person was none other than Elvis, who was supposed to be in the Emerald City along with Charlotte and the majority of others from the Mischievous Lion Guild.
