"Tch, so he was hiding underneath us all this time!" Cassandra voiced out her irritation.

"How about let\'s throw more soldiers in?" Elizabeth quickly suggested.

"I think that would just be more troublesome on our part compared to his," Angel commented.

"To be more exact, we are only letting Leo kill more soldiers because those soldiers would definitely be injured the moment they landed on the floor, hence he can easily kill them, or they would just literally die the moment they landed." Ash explained.

"As long as we can cause trouble for him, then let\'s do it! This is still not enough to satisfy my anger!" Charlotte exclaimed as she then quickly began throwing more soldiers in. No matter what, the only thing she wants was to cause Leo trouble, even if it would just be small.

"Okay!" Cassandra nodded.

"Alright!" Elizabeth followed.

"Understood!" Angel added.

"Sounds good to me!" Ash agreed as well.

Whoosh! Whooosh! Whoosh! Whooosh! Whoosh!

Soon after, soldiers began raining down to Leo\'s location. Though most of them were injured when they landed, and even some were killed due to their heads hitting some rubbles.

Just like what Leo had expected, no matter how much the 5 women try to cause him trouble, though there would still be some, it wouldn\'t be that much compared to before. In fact, they are indeed giving themselves more trouble by trying to cause him trouble. And what the 5 women doesn\'t know, he can actually also cause them trouble now.

"Begin throwing soldiers to them!" Leo ordered the 5 Earth Elementals on top of the wall. If they can do it, who says he can\'t do it as well, right? But of course, he would only throw soldiers that they can handle since he was after all not intending to kill them but only to cause trouble, specifically some No Star for Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel, 1 Star to 2 Star for Ash, and lastly, whatever level to Charlotte as that woman can pretty much handle whatever is thrown to her.

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

"You..." Cassandra was dumbfounded the moment she saw a soldier thrown at her.

"This is unfair!" Elizabeth felt helpless.

"....." Angel didn\'t speak anymore as she turned her focus on killing the soldiers being thrown to her. However, she was now starting to consider whether to kill the 5 Earth Elementals or not so as to stop Leo from causing trouble to them.

"You really don\'t want to take anything lying down, will you?" Ash who sees this felt helpless as well to Leo\'s character of not wanting to be on the losing side.

"You are really getting on my nerves!" Charlotte finally had enough of Leo\'s annoying character as she decided not to hold back anymore. "Ladies, let\'s help each other cause more trouble for Leo!"

Hearing that, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, and Ash quickly nodded their heads. 

This time, they were not just randomly throwing soldiers at Leo, but rather with a plan in mind. Like for example, if Leo wanted to kill a target, they would keep on throwing soldiers in his path, not caring whether the soldiers would die or not so as to hinder his path forward, which would obviously cause him trouble.

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

Noticing their new plan of causing trouble to him, Leo doesn\'t know whether he should laugh or cry. How come when they are fighting against their enemies they are so divided, but when it comes to causing trouble to him they are suddenly united? This is just so unfair!

Without any other choice left, Leo could only choose to face whatever trouble comes to him. He had been presented a chance to not make this problem bigger back before, but instead, he still decided to fight against the 5 women, hence who can he blame aside from himself, right?

Meanwhile, the members of the Sword and Magic who were fighting alongside Leo and the others really don\'t know how they should react while watching this scene. Should they really be fighting with themselves instead of the Black organization?

With no way to have an answer to their question, they can only turn their attention to what is in front of them. At least, they were not included-

"Hey, watch out!"

"This..."

"Friendly fire, friendly fire!!"

Moments later, they were finally done cleaning up the east wall. Unlike the north and west wall, the east wall was the most hardest of all because they weren\'t only fighting against the Black organization but also with each other, though it was only in causing trouble, but it still doesn\'t remove the fact that it had become a double-edged sword for them.

Leo underneath what was once the top of the wall was slowly being pulled up by his Earth Elementals. Though, he quickly realized soon after that he should have not the moment he saw the looks of the 5 women.

"I... I can explain!" Leo raises both his hands up.

"What explains, ha? Come here, I promise I wouldn\'t beat you up!" Cassandra slowly approached Leo.

"You must have thought it was fun, right? Causing us so much trouble like your intending to kill us! Then let\'s continue having fun!" Elizabeth followed after.

"We definitely won\'t hurt you," Angel added.

"Indeed, this would be as painful as it could be," Ash said with a smile.

"Yes, as painless as possible!" Charlotte began cracking her knuckles.

What followed after was Leo experiencing the so-called women\'s wrath.

.....

With all the walls of the Southern Fortress now fully controlled by the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, the Black organization was finally stuck in the middle of two attacks of war weapons.

No matter where they go, it would mean nothing as long as they still remain 8n the middle of the battlefield. The only way out was to escape away from the range of the war weapons or look for a place in ways to hide.

"Captain, we can\'t keep this on. The longer we fight in this place, the more casualties we would receive!"

"I know that! Everyone, pass my orders to the others, let\'s go inside the Southern Fortress."

"Okay!"

"Everyone, to the Southern Fortress!"

"To the Southern Fortress!"

With that order, the Black organization members immediately began retreating inside the Southern Fortress. Once they arrive inside, they would only need to worry about the cannons and crossbows up on top of the walls. Although it would seem like they are facing more pressure, but it\'s actually not because they can use the houses and buildings, and not to mention they can also begin using the civilians as hostages, which they can only do now since their real identity was finally revealed. If only there were no members of the Sword and Magic amongst their formation before, then they would have long used a Human shield strategy, as in literally putting Humans on their shields, or forcing civilians to fight against the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance.

"Don\'t worry about the cannons and crossbows, they can no longer freely fire to us now that we are inside the civilians\' territory!" The Captain order.

"Focus on the enemy in our front!"

"Everyone, focus on the enemy in our front!"

Orders were quickly passed amongst the members of the Black organization, finally reversing their prior losing status.

Meanwhile, the moment the soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance got inside the Southern Fortress, their actions immediately showed hesitation in fear of killing some innocent lives. This was the ultimate weakness of the people who fight out for the goodness\' sake of everyone else. No matter what they do, as long as innocent lives were involved, their actions would immediately become limited, or rather the more appropriate term to use is restricted.

"Please, don\'t take my child!"

"Mother, help!"

"Nooo!"

"Have mercy!"

"Please spare us!"

Numerous civilians were thrown towards the soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, causing them to always be disrupted which their enemy would grab as a chance to kill them.

Because of that, the battle, it unfortunately started turning to the favor of the Black organization.

"General, what should we do now? We absolutely can\'t kill innocent lives!" A Captain asked a General from the Blue Fin Kingdom. 

"How about let\'s just ignore the civilians and focus only on the enemy soldiers?" An Elder from the Mischievous Lion organization proposes.

"But how do you propose we should do that?" A Guardian from the Sword and Magic curiously asked.

"If they throw us, civilians, just step to the side instead of trying to help them! If the civilians die because of that, it would not be our fault anymore." The Elder explained. 

"That..." The Guardian started hesitating whether to agree with it or not.

"We have no choice! If we want to win and quickly stop the misery of the civilians, we need to sacrifice a few of them!" The Elder added.

"Okay, let\'s go with that!" The Guardians finally agreed. 

"But..." The Generals were still feeling hesitant about it.

"Do you want our soldiers to keep on dying, instead?" The Elders asked the Generals.

"But we should be helping the civilians not hurting them!" The Generals rebutted.

"Just bear with it! We will make the Black organization pay twice or thrice the amount we are suffering today! Now, begin!" The Guardians persuaded. 

With that said and done, every soldier of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance finally started ignoring the cries of help from the civilians as they focused more on the members of the Black organization.

However, they soon experienced the Black organization acting as civilians before suddenly attacking them once they turned their backs. Hence, the situation still turned against the favor of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance.

"We can\'t do this anymore!" George who noticed them quickly warned everyone. 

"Quickly regroup, we need to think of a new strategy!" Charles didn\'t hesitate to order a retreat.

Hearing George and Charles\'s orders, the other members of the 12 Zodiacs quickly began passing the orders.

"Everyone regroup!" 

"Regroup!"

"Go back, retreat!"

"Retreat!"

After regrouping, everyone quickly started thinking of new ideas to counter the new battle strategy of the Black organization. 

Suddenly, Leo with a bruised, covered face due to being beaten up by Cassandra and the others arrived. 

Behind him were Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Ash, and Charlotte wearing a satisfied look on their faces after beating him up.

Ethan who also has the same bruised, covered face as Leo, though it was a lot milder compare to the latter, also arrived along with Princess Elaine.
