Just by basing on what Ahmed and Brad had explained before about the Twilight Bears, which they said that Twilight Bears were the type of a Magical Beast that is really, really territorial. Contrary to that, he had only seen one, even though he had already traveled in their territory for more than an hour now, making him really curious about that. After hearing Levi's explanation, though, he finally understood the reason why.

Twilight Bears belongs to the same category of Magical Beast who goes into hibernation during a specific time of the year, and this Twilight Bear's hibernation time for this year is unexpectedly right this moment.

This then made him think about something. If he takes into consideration the danger level of Twilight Bears, then even if the 5 Divisions are indeed powerful, they shouldn't have necessarily chosen to travel in this territory just to go west. In fact, with how big the Twilight Forest was, choosing a relatively safer path should have been easy for them to find. If it was him, he would choose to travel along the shoreline, although it would require more time. At least it is safer than going through the Twilight Bear's territory.

Taking all of his assumptions into consideration, then the real reason why the 5 Divisions choose the Twilight Bear's territory should not only be because they are pioneering the west, but it's also because they want to steal the Magical resources that the Twilight Bears prepared for themselves for their hibernation.

It is a well-known fact already amongst hunters that any Magical Beast that likes to go into hibernation would prepare stocks upon stocks of Magical resources for themselves. The Magical resources they have gathered would act as their food supply during the hibernation period and for them to recover after the hibernation.

As for the reason why it's still considered as pioneering, it is simply because after stealing the Magical resources the 5 Divisions would then leave the Twilight Bears weaken the moment they wake up due to the lack of Magical resources for recuperation. And while the Twilight Bears were still in a weakened state, the 5 Divisions would then start eliminating all of them, hence finally making the Twilight Bear's territory as their own.

This is clearly a 5 birds one stone strategy, which also has a potential of almost hitting the 6th bird.

First, the Eclipse village earned themselves plenty of Magical resources. Second, they can eliminate all the Twilight Bears. Third, this territory would then become a part of the Eclipse village. Fourth, the Eclipse village could finally have a safe and fast passage that will connect them to the Silver Kingdom. Fifth, the resources can further improve the overall power of the entire Eclipse village. And lastly, the potential 6th bird, after increasing the Eclipse village strength, the threat of the Vampires would then lessen by a bit which is definitely the beginning of the Eclipse village path to resist against the Vampires.

Whoever had come up with this plot, the only thing he can say is that this person is really one of smartest people he has ever encountered in his entire life, specifically second since his Master Olivia was naturally the first.

"Can I perhaps find that person in the 5 Divisions?" Leo can't help feeling excited. He really wants to go and meet with the 5 Divisions as soon as possible now after discovering that 1 stone 6 bird plan. If he can learn from that person, then his skill in strategy will definitely go up.

*Tung! *Tung!

Suddenly, Ahmed and Brad arrived, seemingly out of breath.

"We finally found you!" Ahmed said while catching his breath.

Obviously, Leo was quickly able to understand that Ahmed and Brad had run here as fast as possible after taking a quick glance at them, which only means they have found something big to make him act like this.

���What happened?" Leo curiously asked.

"We... we finally found them!" Brad exclaimed in joy.

Leo's eyes lit up brightly after hearing what Brad had said. What he meant to say is that they have finally found the 5 Divisions.

"Calling the devil's name really summons the devil, huh?" Leo thought to himself.

"Rather than saying we found them, it is actually them that had found us!" Ahmed quickly corrected it.

"Oh..." Leo just simply nodded his head. To be honest, the 5 Divisions finding them was in line with one of his expectations, considering the fact that they have a Scout Division.

"Okay then, lead the way!" Leo motioned for Ahmed and Brad to lead him.

Ahmed and Brad both nodded their heads at the same time as they quickly lead Leo back to where they were resting before.

.....

Soon enough, Leo finally saw 2 figures standing on top of a stem, specifically the stem that Ahmed and Brad were resting moments ago.

"There you are!" A beautiful woman with cat-like eyes, elves like ears, and snake-like scales around her neck waved her hand.

"Took you guys so long to return back. So, is that the young man you were talking highly about moments ago?" A well-built man with elephant-like ears, bear-like hands, and goat-like horns in his head asked.

"This is Leo. And Leo, that beautiful sister is Venice, and that reliable looking brother is Matt. They are both members of the Eagle Division." Brad quickly introduced.

"Nice to meet you!" Leo shook their hands.

"Likewise!" Venice replied.

"Same here, kiddo!" Matt happily shook Leo's hand. Due to his big hands, only a few people desire to shake hands with him. So, seeing Leo taking the initiative, he can't help feeling happy.

Observing closely, Leo was quickly able to see that these two people were both 3 Star Mages, the same level as Jeffrey before.

"So, Brad and Ahmed mentioned just moments ago that it was you that has decided to go look for us because you deemed the Eclipse village the most dangerous place from the threat of Vampires during the night, is that correct?" Venice wanted to confirm.

"Yes!" Leo nodded his head.

"Wow, you're really smart kiddo, most kids at your age would have thought of going back as fast as possible to Eclipse village when the nightfall, hence causing them to die the moment they arrive 50 meters perimeter around the village," Matt added.

"I never thought that Vampires would be hiding 50 meters around the Eclipse village," Leo said.

"Those blood-sucking race might have agreed to our deal, but they definitely treat us as their livestock." Matt can't help voicing out his displeasure.

The deal between the Eclipse village and the Commander of the West Fortress of Crimson Rose Kingdom had taken place 20 years ago, and rather than calling it a deal, it was more appropriate to call it paying for a protection fee.

However, the night after the protection fee was paid, dozens of Eclipse village villagers died with an obvious Vampire's bite mark found in their neck. Chief Lafo naturally demanded an explanation, but that West Fortress Commander just replied, "The deal was only inside the Eclipse village, not outside the Eclipse village. If you want the safety of your villagers even outside the Eclipse village, then giving us 1,000 pieces of Magical Beast meat a month is not enough, you should give us 10,000 Magical Beast meat every month instead if you want us to agree."

Naturally, Chief Lago couldn't afford such expenditure, since the Magical Beast living around Eclipse village is also an important source of food for the villagers. Killing more than 10,000 Magical Beast a month would definitely decrease the population of Magical Beast living nearby them, hence making every month's hunt harder and harder. It was an obvious double-edged sword, so Chief Lago could only helplessly agree with the safety only inside the Eclipse village, which just then made them looked similar to a bunch of livestock.

"And that's the exact reason why you are trying to plot against those hibernating Twilight Bears, right?" Leo said while wearing a mischievous smile on his face.

Hearing Leo's words, Venice and Matt can't help widening their eyes in disbelief. How did Leo even know about one of their most confidential information?

Venice swiftly arrived behind Leo without wasting any single second as she then put her dagger around his neck.

Although Leo was also a skilled assassin, Venice was at the level of 3 Star, so he obviously had no hope of matching up her speed.

"Who are you? What is your purpose? And who sent you here? I'll give- "Venice wasn't able to finish her words when suddenly Leo finished it for herself.

"I'll give you five minutes to explain or else you are dead!" Leo continued. He already knows just how assassins think since he is an assassin himself. Giving their target 5 minutes' time is purposely done by the assassins in order to make their target hope that they will let them live the moment they gave them the information they needed. Unlike the 60 seconds, which clearly implies the intention to kill them even after providing the information.

"Are you mocking us, boy?" Matt started cracking his knuckles, ready to punch Leo the moment Venice send out an order.

"What are you doing?" Ahmed and Brad said in unison as they tried their best to pull and push Venice and Charles away from Leo.

Unfortunately, with their really weak body, they were easily picked up by Matt without any trouble as he then stared at both of them solemnly.

"This is none of your business, so stay out of it. The only thing you are entitled of knowing is the fact that what Leo had just said right now concerns the safety of our entire Eclipse village. But, if you really want to help, then go and persuade your friend over there to tell us the truth before the 5 minutes' time is finally up!" Matt said with a very solemn voice.

Ahmed and Brad can't help feeling disbelief after they heard what Matt had just said to them. Did those words that Leo had just said a moment ago really the truth? Were the 5 Divisions really not in the Twilight Bear's territory to pioneer the west, but instead to plot against the Twilight Bear? If that's indeed the case, then how did Leo even found out? He was with them the entire time, except of course a moment ago. But still, how can he even go and steal classified information in just a few minutes without even getting caught by any of the members of the 5 Divisions, right? And why would he even think of returning here if he already got the information he needed?

So, Ahmed and Brad still fully believe Leo.. In their opinion, Leo is definitely not a threat to their Eclipse village.
