Leo along with Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine were soon after bought to a group of 10 Flyingboats by Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris.

"You should know that it is impossible for us to take you inside the Silver royal family\'s castle because the moment we step inside Silver city a lot of people\'s eyes will immediately be focused on every movement we make, hence finding out about your identity would not be difficult for them. That is to say, getting inside the castle would be your problem." Patriarch Walter Skull reminded.

Leo nodded his head as he replied in assurance, "Ethan knows a way to secretly get inside the castle, you don\'t have to worry."

"The castle has a few secret tunnels leading to different locations around or inside the castle. We will use one of those tunnels to safely get inside. Only a few people knew about these secret tunnels, not to mention use it, which means it will be possible to get inside the castle without anyone noticing." Ethan explained.

"Okay, then let\'s go!" Patriarch Simon Honoris motioned with his hand for Leo and the others to get on the Flyingboat.

WHOOOOOOoooosh!

Soon after, the Flyingboats began flying up in the air before traveling towards Silver city.

Because their location wasn\'t really that far from Silver City, it only took a few minutes to arrive nearby the wall. And since the boat has the crest that represents the Snow Noble Household, the Silver royal family\'s soldiers stationed on the top of the walls allowed them to get inside freely.

Other people might view this action of the Silver royal family as stupid since they are letting a potential enemy to get inside their territory, but the truth was, the moment the 10 Flyingboats got inside the Silver city unless King Erskine allows them to get out, it would be next to impossible for them to leave the Silver city. Moreover, it is also impossible for the Snow Noble Household to think of causing chaos inside the Silver city because there are a lot of soldiers watching them from different corners. The latter would also be the problem that Leo and the others are going to face next, but fortunately, they already have the solution to solve it.

The moment the Flyingboats landed, a General from the Silver royal family immediately greeted them with hundreds of soldiers following behind.

"Greetings to Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris, I\'m General Herbert of the 10th Silver Division. King Erskine has tasked me to lead you to meet him in the castle." A man wearing silver armor named General Herbert greeted.

The name Silver Division is the name of the Silver royal family\'s army. The Silver Division has 10 different Divisions, each one being led by 10 Generals called the Silver Generals, with the 10th Silver Division being the weakest and the 1st Silver Division being the strongest. Aside from the Silver General, each Silver Division has 10,000 soldiers with 10 Captains called the Silver Captain, plus 1,000 people in Logistics.

Aside from the Silver Division, there also exists the Gold Division, or otherwise more known as the elite army of the Silver royal family. The Gold Division has 4 different Divisions respectively lead by 4 Commanders of Silver Kingdom, specifically the dead Commander Decker of the Southeast Fortress, Commander Nov of the East Fortress, and the other two fallen Commanders of Southern Fortress and Southwest Fortress.

Despite losing 3 Commanders though, the Gold Division actually still exists, and they haven\'t even lost a single soldier yet, since they have long been stationed in the Silver city ever since the beginning of the war. The Gold Divison is currently under the leadership of Commander Nov, the last remaining Commander of the Silver Kingdom, and Crown Prince Edward, the two of them respectively, lead 2 Gold Divisions. Each Gold Division has 20,000 elite soldiers, with 20 Generals called the Gold General, 200 Captains called the Gold Captain, plus 2,000 people in Logistics.

"Lead the way," Patriarch Walter Skull nodded his head as he motioned for General Herbert to lead the way.

"Right this way," General Herbert turned around before leading all of his soldiers towards the castle of the Silver royal family. Following behind them was Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris with a few men with them.

The moment they left, the people of Patriarch Walter Skull and Patriarch Simon Honoris suddenly disembarked the Flyingboats as they quickly began preparing to create a camp all around the 10 Flyingboats.

Setting up a camp wasn\'t actually necessary, since they can actually just rest inside the Flyingboats, but in order to give Leo and the others a chance to get inside the sewer system, they first needed a way to distract the Silver royal family\'s soldiers current watching over them right now.

"Sir Leo, we have finally found a drainage lid that will lead to the sewer system." A soldier reported to Leo.

"Good!" Leo nodded as he then turned towards Cassandra, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine, "Me, Charlotte, and Ethan will go rescue Veronica, while Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Princess Elaine will wait until we return. If we don\'t return, then it is the responsibility of you three to report to the others about our whereabouts, understood?"

"Please be careful, alright?" Cassandra said to Leo worriedly.

"Don\'t be reckless, if you see that the situation is dangerous, just run. Your life is more important." Elizabeth reminded.

"You both don\'t need to worry about Leo, I will protect him!" Charlotte assured.

Leo just nodded his head in response to them. To be honest, even he wasn\'t sure whether he can return alive, that\'s why he didn\'t dare bring Cassandra and Elizabeth with him in the first place. But that won\'t hold him back from trying to save Veronica.

"You better return to me or else I will grow old as a widow and our child will also have no father!" Princess Elaine pointed at Ethan.

"Don\'t worry, I will run first before Leo could even run, hahahaha!" Ethan replied in a joking manner.

"Good!" Princess Elaine unsurprisingly nodded in approval.

When everyone was finally done giving their farewell, Leo then motioned for them to go.

Leo, Charlotte, and Ethan calmly disembarked the Flyingboat using the cover of the tents as they then slowly followed behind the soldier that reported to them just now.

"This is the entrance," The soldier pointed at a metal lid.

Leo nodded his head before ordering some soldiers to put up a tent on the entrance to the sewer system so that no one will be able to see them once they enter inside and once they leave the sewer system.

Moments later, the tent was already set, and Leo, Charlotte, and Ethan went inside and quickly began preparing to enter inside.

Without wasting any more second, Leo opened the metal lid before entering inside. Charlotte followed next before Ethan followed after.

Whoooosh!

Leo quickly summoned a Fire Elemental to lighten up the dark sewer system, and six Wind Elementals to scout their surroundings in case that there might be some Silver royal family\'s soldiers or people hiding around.

Fortunately, there wasn\'t any, hence Leo and the others continued walking towards the entrance of the secret tunnel following the lead of Ethan.

"This secret tunnel that we are going to use was actually always used by third brother every time he wanted to secretly train in the wilderness outside the Silver City." Ethan suddenly said.

Leo can\'t help becoming curious as he asked, "Why does he need to secretly train?"

"Because father doesn\'t want anyone to follow the footsteps of second brother, that\'s why he only assigned us an instructor every once in a while." Ethan replied.

Leo became really surprised with that answer, "Shouldn\'t King Erskine be happy if all of his sons became strong?"

"That was actually his intention in the past. In fact, back when second brother was still in Silver Kingdom, he always reminded us to become strong, to train diligently, and to listen well to our instructors. He even personally trained us sometimes. It was really fun back then, that\'s why I and my brothers became really close with each other." Ethan suddenly paused before he suddenly shook his head, "But then when my second brother left, father suddenly started changing. It\'s like he doesn\'t want us to become powerful anymore, or even encourage us to work diligently. He always makes excuses to not assign us instructors, and if there were times when he indeed assigned us an instructor, they always end up actually being much more weaker than us or incapable of teaching us more knowledge and experience. And this became, even more, worst when third brother also left to follow after second brother. At that time, my father actually gave me the right to rule the East coast even though he knows that doing that might cause me and my first brother to fight with the throne. Though it didn\'t happen because I always remind first brother that I also don\'t care about the throne and wanted to follow after second and third brother instead."

Out of nowhere, Ethan suddenly punched the wall, causing it to slightly crack, "And now this!" He then looked at Leo, "He imprisoned mother because of treason and even used my younger sister as a tool for war. Tell me, Leo, do you think that it\'s possible that the father I\'m seeing right now is actually no longer my father?"

"You mean King Erskine right now is a fake?" Leo replied in surprise.

"That\'s impossible, right? Unless there are two Barbara." Charlotte can\'t seem to believe what Ethan had said.

"Do you remember what they usually reminded us back then, before the start of the battle against the Black organization? That Barbara\'s unique capability is only considered a common or uncommon rank, so it should be possible for other people to also have the same unique capability as Barbara, and that person dressed in my father\'s clothing." Ethan explained.

"Is it because he suddenly changed?" Leo asked.

"Yes..." Ethan replied with hesitation in his voice. He clearly knows that what he\'s saying right now is just an assumption, but he just can\'t help getting this feeling every time he thinks about all the actions his father has been doing from the very beginning of this war.

Hearing this, Leo remained silent and didn\'t bother to continue. It wasn\'t because the topic was uninteresting, in fact, it is beyond interesting. He chooses to remain silent because he\'s trying to digest all the information that Ethan had assumed.. If this was actually true, then who would even fake King Erskine? Obviously, it is impossible, for it is Barbara, especially since that woman had just arrived in Silver Kingdom. So, who is the person dressed in King Erskine\'s clothing?
