"Each participant could only participate in one ga each, so assign your teams where they are good at. In the first three gas, we would be eliminating twenty-five teams in total, while only fifteen teams in the fourth ga, so your team doesn't need to rush to eliminate everyone in the first ga of the Erald Elven Battle Competition. It is best if your team would choose to eliminate the secret mbers of the Naughty Elves organization without letting them easily notice that we are specifically targeting them. At that ti, once they notice sothing is wrong, it would be too late for them to try and fix the problem," King Elfin the Fourth suggested.
"Okay, I understand everything. But let get this thing clear first; you don't want the entire Mischievous Lion Guild to help you deal with the Naughty Elves organization and only want our team that participates in the Erald Elven Battle Competition to help you, is that correct? And also, you want us to kill everyone even if they turned out to be innocent?" Leo can't help himself from asking.
After listening to what King Elfin the Fourth wanted them to do, he quickly realized sothing. The plan only needed the deploynt of ten people, which all have 1 Star level cultivation and are exactly the needed number of people to form a team to participate in the Erald Elven Battle Competition.
It's not really like he has a problem with King Elfin the Fourth's plan. In fact, the least people and the weaker they are from the Mischievous Lion Guild that would participate in this secret operation of the Evergreen royal family, the better it would be for them. In such a way, there would be no huge losses for the Mischievous Lion Guild.
Even though the people that would participate in the Erald Elven Battle Competition would include him and so of his won, specifically important people for the Mischievous Lion Guild, this would still not be a problem as they could at least take care of themselves well.
However, he can't still help but be curious to know if King Elfin the Fourth really doesn't want him to let the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild to help them. After all, they are in the 6 Star to Galaxy level, which could provide them a lot of help.
And as for the second question, he just wanted to know the exact reason why they decided to let them kill the participants randomly. Is it because it's much better for so people to die than to let many people die? Or is it because the Erald Tree is much more important than the death of a few people? No matter what answer it is though, his decision to participate in this secret operation of the Evergreen royal family would still remain the sa. He's simply the executioner who has a common goal as them to fight against the Naughty Elves organization, so whatever reason they have in mind, it doesn't affect him nor does it an he has the sa opinion as them for choosing such decision.
"No need," King Elfin the Fourth shook his head, he continued, "From the very beginning, the Naughty Elves organization is the problem of the Elf race. We shouldn't have really involved the Human race in this fight at all, but since Madam Flores has suggested you to join, that's why I considered accepting her proposal,"
"And yes, I want you to kill the participants without caring about whether they are innocent or not. This is simply because, as a King, I have to see the bigger picture. As for the smaller pictures, those problems are the responsibilities of the people under , so they are the ones at fault for not being able to solve it,"
"The people living in the Erald Tree Kingdom are really fortunate to have you, Your Majesty, as their King and ruler," Leo praised, he explained, "Back in the place I lived, which is called Silver Kingdom in the past, our King, King Erskine, was such a disappointnt. He made his territory so complicated with a lot of power struggles internally,"
"That's why external problems, such as the Black organization, were able to easily infiltrate us. Though I couldn't really bla King Erskine as well, as all of his children had expressed to him that they don't want to rule the territory he had worked really hard in his entire life while at the sa ti also calling it trash and a waste of ti. If you were King Erskine, it wouldn't be strange for you to also find yourself in the sa situation as him," Leo said before shaking his head.
The Second Prince, Edson, and the Third Prince, Edmon, of the Silver Kingdom, after breaking through to the Galaxy level, imdiately expressed their desire to leave the Silver Kingdom to pursue a higher cultivation level. While the First Prince, Edward, on the other hand, although was born to beco the next King of the Silver Kingdom, was helping the Fourth Prince, Ethan, who also desired the sa thing as Prince Edson and Prince Edmon, to replace him as the next King of the Silver Kingdom, which in the end failed miserably because Prince Ethan broke through to beco a Galaxy Mage even before the Prince Edward could achieve it.
Any father, who had used everything he has, including his life, to build his greatest legacy, the Silver Kingdom, would lose his path after knowing such a truth.
That's why he really can't bla King Erskine for becoming a disappointing ruler of the Silver Kingdom. But likewise, he also couldn't bla his children as well, as they only wanted to pursue the life that they really wanted to achieve. Simply put, no one could be blad since each one of them simply desired sothing different from one other.
"Since we have unexpectedly arrived at this topic, then I guess it's okay for to ask; are you really sure that's what really happened to Erskine Silver?" King Elfin the Fourth suddenly asked.
"What else? As far as we know, none of the Silver royal family were mbers of the Black organization, so there's really no need for them to destroy the Silver Kingdom. So, that's the only reason I could think about," Leo paused before continuing, "Maybe there is actually one since I didn't really get to et King Erskine even after the Silver royal family was dethroned by us,"
"My Master also didn't inform of any, so I highly doubt that," Angel supported Leo's claim. But she suddenly rembered sothing, so she quickly added, "Though she did tell that only Elder Rain really know what exactly happened in the Silver royal family's castle as he suddenly forced them to leave the place claiming that it's dangerous,"
"Oh," Leo nodded his head. It seems like he needs to ask his older brother Reinhart about this once they et again so that he wouldn't accidentally misunderstand Ethan and Edward's father. Fortunately, the both of them aren't here at this mont, or else that might have really happened. Better inform Angel and the others to keep this part of the conversation with King Elfin the Fourth a secret for the anti...
"Although I don't really know a lot about the Silver Kingdom, but I have been one of the people who had fought side by side with Erskine Silver in the past," King Elfin the Fourth revealed, he continued, "The Eskine Silver I saw in the past was never soone who easily bend down just because of a problem related to the family. I don't know if you already know this or not, but Erskine Silver had in fact actually left his own family when he was still young to follow a man nad Red Heart. So, his children leaving him is just simply a repetition of how he left his family back then,"
Now that he had heard King Elfin the Fourth's unexpected revelation, Leo quickly realized that there might indeed be sothing wrong with what he believed King Erskine to be. A person who had left his family when he was still a child should normally not have a problem with his own children doing the sa exact thing. He might even find it hilarious or understandable as his past action had co to hunt him.
It seems like there is a dense mist of mystery around the change of King Erskine that he should uncover.
"Now that we ntioned about Red Heart, it seems like this person is related to you since your family na is also Heart," King Elfin the Fourth asked in curiosity.
"He's my father," Leo didn't worry anymore about telling the truth to King Elfin the Fourth as this person seems to be a friend or sothing related to his father.
"Oh, no wonder," King Elfin the Fourth can't help letting out a chuckle. He continued, "So that's why you never feel afraid even when facing . You're exactly like your father, Red Heart. Not only does he not fear a King like , but he also doesn't feel afraid when facing against a Sect Leader. Seriously, your family na should be changed to Stone Heart or Ice Cold Heart. It's like you don't have the emotion called fear at all,"
Just like what he had expected, King Elfin the Fourth indeed knows his father, and it even seems like he knows a lot about him, confirming his assumption that they are friends and the likes. He quickly asked, "What else do you know about my father, your Majesty?"
"Hahaha, you're exactly like your father, only showing respect when you need sothing," King Elfin the Fourth shook his head, he continued, "Since you're his son, then naturally I should tell you about your father,"
Leo's ears instantly perked up to listen closely to what King Elfin the Fourth would be saying about his father. At the side, even though she knows already that Leo's father is already dead, Angel still perked up her ears so that she can know more about her future father-in-law.
It wasn't only the two of them who decided to listen closely, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale also did the sa as they wanted to know more about Leo.
"Listen closely," King Elfin the Fourth turned his head to looked left and right before moving his head closer to Leo and the others. He then said, "Red Heart was an... arrogant, foolish, cheater, heartless, and a hateful person,"
"You..." Leo was imdiately rendered speechless at King Elfin the Fourth cursing his own father.
King Elfin the Fourth quickly laid back comfortably on his chair after saying that as he raised his chest before explaining, "That guy always thinks like he's so sort of big shot. His plans are always so crazy as if he wants all of us to die. And... he... he stole Rose from ... No, to be more precise, he stole Rose from all of us! That's why he's a cheater, heartless, and hateful person. So, I hope that you don't-"
"Oh, so you're actually one of the people who my father defeated in order to get my mother, eh?" Leo finally understood the reason why. King Elfin the Fourth is obviously sour that he was defeated by his father in courting his mother. What a petty person!
"What defeated?! He cheated, okay?! He cheated! He was constantly ordering us to do this and so that he can have Rose all for himself. And before we know of it, it was already too late and we could only receive an invitation about their marriage. That guy...," King Elfin the Fourth said while looking like wanting to punch sothing. In the end, he clenched his fist and was, fortunately, able to still hold back his urge, or else sothing bad would have happened to this beautiful garden. He heaves a heavy sigh before he continued, "In spite of all of his bad characteristics though, he was still a loyal and close brother. I really didn't expect that our eting ten or so of years ago was going to be our last eting with each other...."
