What Leo exactly meant about a little bit of problem was that this rain, if it doesn't stop when the battle finally begins, it would hinder those on the low ground from attacking those on the high ground. 

The Silver royal family was already in the geographical advantage in this war because aside from that they are the ones defending, they also have the high ground due to them being able to station soldiers on top of the Silver city's south wall. And adding to this rain, the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance would be having a hard time with their accuracy in hitting those on top of the wall. 

Although the Flyingboats could simply go up and hence they could then give the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance the high ground, but it would, in turn, make them easy targets. Why? Because those people above the Galaxy level would definitely be fighting up in the clouds. 

Of course, the Flyingboats has a Defensive Magic Array Formation installed, since that is one of the basic requirements of Flyingboats, but it is definitely not going to be enough against the Magic spells of those people in the Galaxy level. Additionally, the Flyingboats of Snow Noble Household is actually only made with Magic Lumbers, Magic Steel, and Floating stones, hence its durability isn't really that much of a guarantee. 

Letting a Flyingboat fly really high in order to avoid those people in the Galaxy level is also not safe, especially when there are a lot of them, because the sky is covered with dark clouds during the rain, which would hinder their view of the ground and likewise on the sky. The former might cause friendly fire, while the latter might result in the Flyingboats hitting against each other.

Truth be told, the Flyingboats would actually only be able to lend a bit of help in this battle against the Silver royal family. Aside from transporting soldiers and supplies on the battlefield, and shooting some cannons and other range attacks to the Silver city's south wall, they only have a few more minor uses.

But just like what Leo had mentioned, the rain would only cause a bit of a problem to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, because the bigger problem would actually be for the Silver royal family. 

At this moment, the people stationed in the Silver city's south wall should only be the 10 Silver Generals and soldiers of the 10 Silver Divisions. The 4 Gold Divisions should still be at the northeast and northwest, respectively, at least maybe Crown Prince Edward's 3rd and 4th Gold Division is still in the northwest, and most likely only Commander Nov's 1st and 2nd Gold Division is making their way back to Silver city already. But still, because of this ongoing rain, traveling back for both would become a lot harder for them due to the ground being muddy and slippery. This rain would also help Crown Prince Edward perfect his plan of not letting the 3rd and 4th Gold Division join the battle.

Also, because of this rain, transporting supplies from the barracks to the battlefield would be really hard for the Silver royal family. 

Unlike the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance that has the Flyingboats from the Snow Noble Household to transport supplies, the Silver royal family could only transport supplies through the help of horse-pulled wagons, which would slow down during the rain due to the stone, brick road being so slippery for the horses to run fast. And then the moment they leave the city wall to transport the supply as near as possible to the battlefield, the ground would then turn muddy to travel, which again would not let the horse run fast. Don't even think of forcing the horse to run fast, because this might just cause some unnecessary accident for them that will cause them a lot of trouble. 

Of course, those two problems he had mentioned were only the major problem, there are still a few other minor problems for the Silver royal family caused by this rain, but just like what its name suggests, it's just a small problem so there is no need to worry about it. 

Because it was already raining, Leo quickly decided to find a place to cover from the rain to avoid his clothes from getting wet. Fortunately, he was on top of the wall right now, so he only needs to go downstairs and he immediately found a roof enough for him to use as a cover and at the same time allow him to also see where Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, Elder Rain, and the others would be going to continue with their planning. To be honest, his main intention of going to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance camp was to actually look for them, so that he can tell them to attack east. The only reason he went up on the wall was for him to see where they were located at, because looking for them by asking other people is just too troublesome, especially with him becoming a bad example for the soldiers after disobeying an official order. 

"Oh, they're going in the Barracks!" Leo said to himself the moment he saw them entering the barracks. Without minding the rain, he quickly went towards the Barracks. 

It was only ten minutes of walking later did Leo finally arrived in front of the Barracks door. He could have arrived a lot earlier than this, but due to how hard it was to travel on the slippery brick road caused by the rain, it caused him to be delayed. 

Last night, he wasn't able to see clearly just how big exactly were these new Barracks that have been built in his Heart city, but now, he can finally see that it's just an average size Barracks. Really unlike the Barracks back at the Southeast Fortress, which was big enough for nearly a thousand people to fit in. Well, Heart city might have undergone a few improvements, but that still doesn't mean that it's already rich enough to be compared to other cities that have tens of millions of gold coins invested throughout the years. 

Cringggkkk!

Leo pushed the door open and immediately went inside. 

"Leo?" Gretchen, who saw Leo get in, called out. 

"Gretchen? Why are you here, shouldn't you be with the others discussing about the plans?" Leo asked in surprise. 

"I'm making my way there right now." Gretchen replied. Then she immediately changed the topic, "But you, why are you here? Your title as the Commander of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance was already stripped off last night, right? So, your presence here should no longer be required."

"I have something to tell everyone, a really important piece of information to be exact." Leo didn't bother hiding his intention from Gretchen. 

"Oh, if it's like that, then come and follow me, let's go meet up with the others." Gretchen nodded her head before leading the way towards where they were currently having the planning.

Leo smiled before quickly following. 

Moments later, they finally arrived in front of a big door. Gretchen pushed it, and after a Cringggkkk! sound, both of them walked in.

Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, Elder Rain, and the other's attention was immediately attracted towards Leo, an uninvited guest in this place.

"Leo, what are you doing here, you're no longer a Commander!" Queen Olivia exclaimed. Although Leo was her disciple, that still doesn't mean she won't be mad when he does something wrong.

"I have a really important piece of information that can help you win this war." Leo didn't beat around the bush as he immediately informed them of what he wanted to do.

Ethan, Princess Elaine, and Madam Triana also walked towards Leo to act as his support and to also show to everyone that the information that Leo has brought would be important. The four of them have already discussed way back then at the Flyingboat that it would only be Leo that will request to everyone to attack the eastern side of the Silver City, so him appearing here definitely meant he would begin persuading them now. 

"Okay, you can begin!" Elder Rain was the one who approved. Although he was one of those that agrees to strip Leo of his title as the Commander of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, that was only because he doesn't want his little brother to be hugely involved in this battle to decide who will win the war as it would definitely be the most dangerous battle. But, if Leo would have something to say, he will definitely be the first one to approve of it. In the first place, this was their intention, to just let Leo command the soldiers and not join the battle.

Hearing Elder Rain's reply, Leo nodded his head before walking to the map on top of the table. 

The moment he arrived in front, Leo then turned to look at a person, what he guessed was one of the General, at his side, who was currently holding a stick.

"Can I borrow the stick for a bit?" Leo asked. 

The General didn't dare disagree as he quickly gave Leo the stick. He clearly knows of the fact that although this young man was stripped off his title as the Commander of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, he was still an important figure, nonetheless. 

Receiving the stick, Leo then turned to look at the map once again before pointing the stick at the eastern side of the Silver City, specifically the southeast side, and said, "I request everyone to attack this part of the Silver City. As to why is that?" He moved his stick towards the northwest and continued, "You might not know this, but Crown Prince Edward is going to help us in this battle..."

The moment Leo revealed such information, everyone immediately started talking and whispering to express their surprise. 

"Is this information reliable?" Queen Maria asked Madam Triana at Leo's side. Madam Triana was the mother of Crown Prince Edward, so if she says it's true, then it's definitely true. 

"Yes, Crown Prince Edward, my first son, has also expressed his intention of joining the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance. In fact, he is the one that brought us to Leo, and hence the mission to rescue us was completed very smoothly." Madam Triana confirmed. 

"The only reason for my brother to take away Princess Tiana and Veronica personally was for his cover not to be found out. He also has no choice but to comply or else it would be Commander Nov coming to get them, which is a result that would make the situation more troublesome for us." Ethan added. 

"Okay," Queen Maria nodded her head before turning to look at Leo, "You can continue."

"At this moment, Crown Prince Edward has bought the 3rd and 4th Gold Division of the Silver royal family's army to the far northwest, using the excuse of chasing after those who have rescued Veronica and Princess Tiana, hence hindering the two elite Divisions from helping the Silver royal family in the upcoming battle." Leo paused before pointing the stick back to the southeast side of the Silver City, "Therefore, if we attack over here, it would increase the distance between those two Gold Divisions from the battlefield, and hence perfecting their elimination in the battlefield." He then moved his stick to the northeast, "This would also force Commander Nov's army, which is the 1st and 2nd Gold Division, from going inside the city to resupply, as they would be forced to immediately station themselves in the east in order to patch up this possible hole that we can breakthrough in their formation. This would also cause Commander Nov to only be able to effectively command the army at our north and northwest, as for those at our west and southwest, they would be left for only the General figure to command." 

"Other than that, the war weapons on top of the south wall would also become slowly ineffective because we are slowly moving to the southeast side of the wall which means only the tower has the effective range of attack while the south wall, though could still attack, but there would only be a few of them. If they want a lot of war weapons to hit us, then they would need to bring a lot of them down to the ground, which would also minimize their high ground advantage in this battle." Leo said before he gave back the stick to the General at his side, finally concluding his persuasion to attack from the east. 

If his words won't still be able to persuade them, then the only way left for him to do was to sneak in the southeast of the Silver City and announce to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance that if they don't come here, he would be in the hands of the Silver royal family. 

Hopefully, it wouldn't come to that, because even he wasn't sure whether the Silver royal family will really take him as a hostage or just kill him immediately.
