The person that Ethan\'s group had chosen was the Captain of this squad since he\'s the most convenient person to use as a guide. And at the same time, the Captain also seems to be a smart and capable person as well, so he should probably know how to fix a lot of troubles that they would most likely encounter along the way to meet with Elfin the Fifth.

Honestly, Ethan\'s group knew already where to find Elfin the Fifth, specifically either still in the barracks or somewhere close to the north gate. But in order to avoid some certain troubles and suspicions, they could only choose to bring a guide along with them.

The reason for that is because, just like what they have seen a moment ago, even with the token that Elfin the Fifth had given them, it is still possible and very easy too, to cause some misunderstanding to the soldiers that see them, especially with the current clothes that they are wearing right now as it is very similar to what a criminal would always wear in order to hide their identities when committing a crime. Contrary to criminals, though, the exact reason why they are hiding their real identities was because just like what was previously mentioned the last time; they are one of the trump cards of the Evergreen royal family.

Therefore, to preserve the secrecy and the element of surprise for their later plans, they have no other choices left but to hide their identities, especially knowing already that there are members of the Naughty Elves organization hiding among the soldiers here and the fact that they are also pretty famous due to the fame that the Mischievous Lion Guild had gained from the Emerald Event. Probably a lot of soldiers here, including the members of the Naughty Elves organization, could for sure easily recognize their faces and identify them once they reveal how they looked like.

And the only way to solve such a problem is to have a soldier, preferably someone with a high rank, to lead the way to find Elfin the Fifth. In such a way, whenever other soldiers asked about their identities out of pure suspicion or perhaps with a hidden agenda in mind, someone who those soldiers could trust would be able to easily provide answers and there won\'t be any need for them to personally waste time in explaining, which might just even force them to reveal their real identities.

Hearing that he was chosen, the Captain unhesitatingly transferred the command of his squad temporarily to his Vice-Captain before leaving down the wall along with Ethan\'s group and leading them towards the location of the barracks.

As expected, while Ethan\'s group was making their way to the barracks, a few soldiers who were assigned to patrol the buildings nearby the wall would occasionally stop them and ask about their identities.

Similar to the last time, Ethan simply showed them the token once again, and with the additional help provided by the Captain that is escorting them, they were soon able to continue making their way to the barracks.

Not long after, Ethan\'s group finally arrived at the barracks.

But unfortunately, everyone long already left for the north gate.

It wasn\'t strange though, since before leaving, Elfin the Fifth had already announced that they will begin marching outside of the Emerald City soon.

So without wasting any time, Ethan\'s group quickly proceeded to the north gate. 

They were eventually able to catch up on the tail of the marching soldiers who hadn\'t fully left the north gate yet.

Right in front of them, they could see the huge formation of soldiers continuing to march outside the north gate in preparation for the main battle of this war.

The exchange of fire between both side\'s war weapons was clearly still the appetizer of this war. Its main course, which is what they are looking at right now, is still being prepared to be served on the battlefield.

After looking at the marching soldiers, Ethan\'s group finally began moving by passing through the gaps in between the soldier\'s formation. The soldiers who saw them moving around in their formation didn\'t bother to stop marching after recognizing that there is a person with a Captain rank escorting them to the front of the formation. They are clearly aware that only people with important status could have such privileged. 

With such convenience, it didn\'t take that long for Ethan\'s group to arrive at the front of the formation where they could finally see where the respective leaders were located. 

Not wanting to waste any time, Ethan\'s group continued moving towards that direction, specifically to the west side of the formation.

Just when they were closing the gap, a squad made up of elite soldiers suddenly landed in front of them and stopped them from continuing any farther.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?!" The Captain of the elite squad asked, with a solemn and threatening tone in his voice.

"You should be able to easily recognize this," Ethan said while showing the token that Elfin the Fifth had given them once again.

Seeing the token on Ethan\'s hand, the Captain of the elite squad quickly bowed his head a bit while saying, "My deepest apologies, our respected allies," After saying that, he then straightened his body once again before asking, "My name is Chayd, and I\'m the Captain of this elite squad. If it is okay for me to ask, what is your main intention for coming here?"

"We want to meet with Crown Prince Elfin the Fifth, tell him that we have returned from the reconnaissance mission that he had given us," Ethan immediately informed them of their group\'s intention.

With the mention of the reconnaissance mission, Chayd quickly informed one of his men to go to Crown Prince Elfin the Fifth as fast as possible and tell him about their group\'s arrival.

"Is this person over here also part of your team," Chayd said while looking at the person behind Ethan\'s group that seems to look so out of place as he was wearing an armor of a Captain. 

"No," Ethan shook his head before turning to look at the Captain behind them. He then waved his hand, quickly taking out a golden token of the Mischievous Lion Guild. Without anyone seeing the symbol, he secretly handed it to the latter and saying, "You can use this golden token once you finally decided what you want,"

"Thank you, your Grace," The Captain nodded his head to express his appreciation for Ethan.. After doing that, he then quickly left and made his way back to his assigned position on top of the wall.
