The sudden order of King Elfin the Fourth was basically heard by Elfin the Fifth and Charlotte and the other allies gathered inside the meeting tent and everyone throughout the entire Emerald City who is currently wearing a communicator in their ears. 

It was quite a strange order for everyone, especially for the soldiers in the Northern region who are celebrating their triumph right now. But considering the fact that it was the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom who had given them the command, this only means that it was serious. 

In the next moment, Elfin the Fifth, and Charlotte, and the other allies immediately left the meeting tent with solemn expressions on their respective faces. 

Fortunately, the moment they got out of the meeting tent, they soon after saw the Generals and Captains quickly evacuating everyone as far away as possible from any bodies or carcasses related to the Naughty Elves organization, this includes the carcasses of the Undead Berserkers and Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potion, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers of the Naughty Elves organization.

Despite the fact that the majority of the soldiers don\'t have any communicators, thus they don\'t know what is truly going on right now, no one still bothered to ask why or showed stubbornness. They simply moved in an orderly fashion while following the straight lines that the higher-ups had arranged for them to follow as they quickly walked to a safe area. 

"Do you perhaps know what is going on?" 

"No idea, all I know is we are going to evacuate to somewhere safe,"

"I am guessing that it is probably because the war against the Naughty Elves organization is still not over yet,"

"That should indeed be the case because I could still see a lot of Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potion in front of the north wall. We might have celebrated too early,"

"Eh? But shouldn\'t we be fighting them instead of retreating?"

"Can\'t you see those Flyingboats above us? I heard that they are actually the forces of our allies. Maybe the reason why we are evacuating is that they are going to take over the war, whereas we are going to recuperate,"

"Now that you have mentioned that, it is indeed about time for us to go rest and recuperate. After all, we have continuously been fighting in this war for a few hours now. Not to mention, we have been going around all over the place and fighting against different kinds of enemies. From ordinary soldiers to Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potion. And then from Undead Berserkers to Galaxy-level Magical Beasts. This kind of war is without a doubt far different compared to those usual wars that we have experienced in the past,"

"I agree, this is indeed not the same as the other wars we had fought before since in those wars we were mainly up against people of the Foreign races,"

"Yeah... Supposedly, I could even last for nearly twelve straight hours in those wars. But in this case, my body is already feeling really exhausted as if I have been fighting for a few days now,"

"Enough talking, everyone! Quickly move!" A nearby Captain interrupted. 

It is undeniably beyond the imagination of the majority of the soldiers that the real reason for their evacuation right now is actually not because of the arrival of the forces of their allies. Rather, it is because they need to stay away from anything related to the Naughty Elves organization. 

The sole reason why the Flyingboats aren\'t evacuating is because it is already far away from the danger, considering the fact that they are thousands of feet in the air. If there is absolutely anywhere that could be believed to be safe without a doubt right now, then that would only be in the air above the Emerald City, at least now that nothing could post any threat to them yet. 

"It is honestly a good thing that the Generals and Captains didn\'t inform the majority of the soldiers of what is truly going on," Charlotte remarked. 

"Yeah, otherwise, the unknown danger that King Elfin the Fourth had informed us about would be immediately triggered by the Naughty Elves organization," Ethan nodded his head. 

"Speaking about that," Elvis turned to look at Elfin the Fifth behind them. He asked, "Has there been any update from King Elfin the Fourth with what kind of danger exactly we are facing against right now?"

Elvis is asking because Elfin the Fifth and King Elfin the Fourth suddenly went into a different private channel with their communicators to continue their conversation. Apparently, the topic of their discussion is so confidential that only members of the Evergreen royal family should know about it as of now. 

A moment later, after Elvis asked the question, Elfin the Fifth slowly turned to look at them with a solemn expression on his face. It was as if he is telling everyone through his face about their impending doom. 

Elfin the Fifth turned to look at their allies and asked, "Would it be alright if you excuse us for a bit?" 

"No problem, we understand clearly well our position in this alliance," 

"You\'ll be telling us all about it eventually, so just go on," 

"What else? After all, we will be fighting side by side in this battle once again, hahaha!"

"I really appreciate your understanding," Elfin the Fifth nodded his head to them before motioning his hand to Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild to come inside the meeting tent. 

Curious to know about what precisely this was, Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild quickly followed after Elfin the Fifth. 

But to their disbelief, as soon as they got inside the meeting tent, some of their supposed-to-be-allies suddenly flew to the sky and quickly fled away from this place using as much strength as their bodies could exert. 

On the other hand, their other allies remained motionless on the ground below as they were completely caught unprepared and did not know how they should react. After all, they don\'t have a single clue of why exactly some of their allies suddenly flew away. 

"Quickly catch them!" Elfin the Fifth immediately ordered. 

Hearing Elfin the Fifth\'s order, Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild instantly realized what is really happening right now. Evidently, the exact reason why Elfin the Fifth had suddenly called them to go inside the tent was so that they can give a false opportunity for the traitors to try and escape from this place and report to the Naughty Elves organization that they have unfortunately discovered their next course of action. And as expected, it was proven effective at the very end as the traitors had taken the bait. 

With that in mind, Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild didn\'t waste any time as they flew up to the sky and chase after the traitors. Although they have expended plenty of their energy and stamina during the battle against the three Galaxy-level Magical Beasts earlier ago, it is still very easy for them to chase after a bunch of people with merely a cultivation level of 6-Star to 7-Star. Not to mention, it wasn\'t only them who had been expending plenty of energy and stamina during the war, but also those traitors as well. Hence, they are more than foolish if they actually believed that they are unable to catch them right now.

Not long after, Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild returned back to the meeting tent along with the captured traitors in their hands. Unfortunately, they weren\'t able to capture a few of them. But it wasn\'t because they were able to escape successfully. Rather they tried to resist. Thus they left them with no other choice but to kill them. In total, they have only captured three traitors. 

"How wise of you, your Highness, Elfin the Fifth," One of the traitors remarked while wearing a wryly smile on his face. 

The second traitor right beside the first traitor nodded his head in agreement before saying, "He is totally deserving of his title \'Crown Prince of the Emerald Tree Kingdom.\' Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have easily formulated a plan to trick us," 

"Tch, that was merely luck!" The third traitor sneered in response. 

Elfin the Fifth shrugged his shoulder off and ignored what they were talking about, as he then said, "I truly applaud the effort of the three of you for successfully tricking all of us into believing that you are one of our allies when in fact, you are actually members of the Naughty Elves organization all along,"

"Surprise!" The first traitor said with a wide mocking smile on his face. Right after, the second traitor and third traitor started laughing loudly. 

In response to the mockery, Elfin the Fifth simply begun clapping his hands while saying, "Marvelous, really an astonishing feat!"

"Thank you, thank you," The first traitor bowed his head by a bit to express his appreciation for Elfin the Fifth\'s recognition.

But quickly, Elfin the Fifth paused his clapping hands as his face turned to mockery before saying, "Unfortunately, your efforts are all for naught as we have still easily captured all of you,"
