Meanwhile, Leo was fast approaching the Silver royal family\'s castle when Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Madam Silva suddenly landed in front of him.

"You guys..." Leo was really surprised and at the same time confused when all of them suddenly appeared in front of him. Did they perhaps noticed the Black organization\'s actual trap and hence they returned as they wanted to warn everyone, or was it perhaps something else? Also, why was Reinhart not with them anymore? Did something bad happen to them instead when they were inside the Silver royal family\'s castle? No, he doubted that since there is no sound of fighting happening inside the castle.

Leo really wanted to know the answer why, but before he could even ask a question, Queen Olivia suddenly grabbed him without any warning before flying away from the Silver royal family\'s castle. Their faces were really solemn, so he decided to not ask anymore, as it was obvious to see that it\'s something really serious for them to react this way. Moreover, he also noticed Madam Triana inside a ball of water, unconscious and with a sword wound on her stomach. This obviously implied that they have met something dangerous inside the Silver royal family\'s castle.

Moments later, they finally returned to the location of the ongoing evacuation.

"Leo?" Cassandra asked the moment she saw Leo along with Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Madam Silva landing nearby them.

"Everyone, quickly leave this place as far away as possible." Queen Olivia exclaimed the moment she landed. She didn\'t bother being secretive about it since this was an important matter.

But Leo, who was still clueless, quickly asked the moment he heard Queen Olivia\'s words, "What do you mean?"

"No time to explain, everyone should leave now!" Queen Maria was the one that replied.

"This is an order from Elder Rain as he decided to face an unknown enemy himself." Madam Silva vaguely explained.

"This... but how about the civilians we have saved?" Elizabeth can\'t help asking.

"We are already halfway through evacuating all of them." Angel added.

"Indeed, we can still save all of them if we work fast!" Veronica nodded her head in agreement.

Ash and Charlotte didn\'t waste any time as they both turned around and ordered in unison, "Double time everyone!!"

Unexpectedly though, just after sending that order, a commotion suddenly happened amidst the evacuating civilians.

"What happened?" Leo quickly asked.

Number One to Number Ten swiftly arrived in front of them as they quickly reported.

"The civilians at Zone E and Zone F have left the line!" Number One reported.

"What do you mean?" Leo was immediately shocked. He had already sent out his men to warn the civilians that the water was dangerous, so why are they voluntarily going over there right now?!

"They... they are all picking up the Chaos stones and moving further away from us..." Number Two replied, still in disbelief in what he had just seen.

What really happened was, when every civilian was still lining up peacefully to evacuate Silver city, the civilians of Zone E and Zone F suddenly reacted weirdly before running towards the water, then they picked up the Chaos stones they can find, before going even further away.

"WHAT?!!" Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte were shocked beyond belief. What the civilians are doing right now was akin to suicide.

"Why didn\'t you bothered stopping them?!" Ethan and Edward both yelled out in anger. Those people were just ordinary civilians, so it was obviously possible for them to stop them! But why didn\'t they quickly stopped them from picking up those Chaos stones and going on a suicide mission? This was not the time to allow people to do an honorable sacrifice!

"We can\'t..." Number Three expresses his helplessness.

"You might not believe us, but those civilians aren\'t even considered as ordinary civilians anymore, but rather Magical Knights!" Number Four explained.

"They easily shoved all of our men to the side who tried to stop them, before dashing forward to pick up the Chaos stones. Even if we want to stop them, we are unable to even chase after them as they all run much faster than all of us!" Number Five explained further.

"Those people were already acting strangely when they first arrived at the relocation area. They all act normal, and can even communicate like a regular person, but just now they all acted like puppets." Number Six added, which Number Seven to Number Ten nodded in agreement. They have all seen how puppets work in the past, and those civilians from Zone E and Zone F were acting really like one.

Hearing Number Six\'s words, Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Madam Silva immediately realized something.

"It\'s like King Erskine!" Queen Olivia exclaimed in shock. Back then, King Erskine also acted normal and didn\'t show any signs that he was actually a puppet. In fact, he was even able to have an argument with them, which is normally not something a puppet could ever do. In the end, the only reason why they were able to find out that King Erskine was actually just a puppet was when the Puppet Master decided not to hide the truth anymore.

"Father?!" Ethan and Edward both turned to look at Queen Olivia, they both looked worried.

Queen Olivia shook her head the moment she noticed Ethan and Edward\'s worried look before she replied, "Unfortunately, the person you\'re treating as your father was no longer your father. No, he was still your father, but someone was controlling him, like a puppet."

"Yes, a puppet, Fifth Princess Fiona\'s puppet to be exact!" Queen Maria revealed.

Madam Silva shook her head in disagreement as she said, "I think the so-called Fifth Princess Fiona was also just a mere puppet. Do you remember what Elder Rain had said back then? He said that person is no longer related to the war of Silver Kingdom, which means that the person we have met just now was not from the Silver Kingdom, Black organization, or even on our side. To be more precise, that person is a third party."

Ethan and Edward were very shocked and were unable to reply after hearing their words. In truth, they have already thought that their father was no longer their father, but to finally find out that it was indeed the truth, they right after found themselves having trouble accepting the fact.

"By the way," Queen Olivia suddenly waved her hand, causing a big ball of water with the unconscious Madam Triana inside, "Take your mother to a healer. She was stabbed by your own father when we arrived."

"Mother!!" Ethan and Edward were both immediately pulled out from their shock state as they frantically run towards their mother. They then quickly carried her out from the big ball of water before flying off to find a healer.

Leo suddenly realized something, "Then those civilians who suddenly acted like Magical Knight just now are that unknown person\'s puppet?"

"Most likely..." Queen Olivia replied before quickly changing the topic, "By the way, what do you mean about the Chaos stones?"

Hearing Queen Olivia\'s question, Leo didn\'t hide his findings anymore as he replied, "The Chaos stones is the Black organization\'s secret trap planted underneath the Silver city\'s sewer system. The real reason why I wanted the army to attack east was that I\'ve already removed their trap over there, and just last night I\'ve also removed the trap located at the south sewer. I didn\'t bother revealing anything in order for the Black organization not to know that we have already found out about their secret trap." He paused and shook his head before he continued, "However, that wasn\'t actually the end of their secret trap, as they have used the explosion caused by the Lesser Chaos Magic Array to spread out the remaining Chaos stones and most likely to set-up another trap. We have already started removing the trap, but unfortunately, it\'s impossible to completely remove all of them, hence the only thing we can do is minimize the damage."

"But with the addition of those puppets from that unknown person, then most likely we don\'t need to worry about the Black organization\'s secret trap anymore." Leo finished explaining while heaving a sigh of relief.

Queen Olivia nodded her head as she finally understood everything. And based on those puppet\'s movements and that no fight has ever happened yet back in the Silver royal family\'s castle, then most likely that third party was convinced by Reinhart to help them.

On the other side, Queen Maria was still feeling doubtful about what Leo had assumed, "Let\'s see..."

With only a few people noticing, Queen Maria has begun scanning the entire Silver city with her Magic power, and after a minute or two, she opened her eyes once again, but this time it was very serious.

Queen Maria shook her head and explained her finding, "The Chaos stones have spread not only on the surface but also throughout the sewer system under our feet. That\'s also not the end of it, as I\'ve counted close to 500 Chaos stones spread out throughout the entire Silver city. And what\'s, even more, worst is, a Lesser Chaos Magic Array with 200 Chaos stones has also been planted underneath the Silver royal family\'s castle."

Truth be told, the 800 Chaos stones that the Black organization has bought was something they have bought just now, in other words, they have bought it in this present situation, which didn\'t include the preparation they have done in the past years of their existence in the Silver Kingdom. This was what Barbara meant about back at the Southern Fortress.

The total amount of Chaos stones the Black organization has actually bought throughout all these years from the Crimson Rose Kingdom was a shocking amount of 11,000 Chaos stones, which are all planted underneath the cities of Silver Kingdom, specifically Snow city, Crystal Skull city, White River city, Honoris city, Will city, Williams city, Silver city, Green Weed city, Blacksmoke city, and Blue Coral city. Of course, it excludes the Heart city since that place was under the protection of a 7th Galaxy Mage, and Lu Ming, the past president of the Black organization branch in Silver Kingdom, at that time knows clearly that he can\'t afford to offend the Mischievous Lion organization as it might just cause a negative effect to their plans, like for example the Mischievous Lion organization will uproot all of their secret traps themselves. Hence, Lu Ming thought of planting the remaining 1,000 Chaos stones underneath the Silver city instead rather than keeping it in their storage.

Aside from Heart city, the Black organization was also unable to plant any Chaos stones underneath the Fortresses of Silver Kingdom, since such places were also being protected by someone powerful.

This was the Black organization\'s preparation in case they can\'t have the Silver Kingdom in their hands. After all, no matter how much planning they have prepared, it still isn\'t a sure assurance that they can indeed take over an entire territory that easily, that\'s why they planted something akin to a self-destruction button throughout the entire Silver Kingdom. And unfortunately, with the current situation right now, it was certainly the right time to use it.

Leo and everyone frown as they were very shocked after hearing Queen Maria\'s words. They have really thought that what they have done was enough to at least minimize the damage of the Black organization\'s second trap in Silver city, but in the end, what they have done wasn\'t even worth mentioning.. In fact, the Black organization has another trap prepared already in Silver city as well aside from the first and second trap without any of them noticing.
