Chapter 1103: Chapter 338: Return to the East Wilderness_2 Chapter 1103: Chapter 338: Return to the East Wilderness_2 “Back then, I knew the current Federation system was utterly corrupted,”

“But due to the deep-rooted power of the five major Senator families, and the intricate relationships among the Noble Class, it had become an interest group that was completely immovable. Even after taking control of the Lionheart Family, I couldn’t change anything.”

“Later, when the Old Continent was discovered, I knew the opportunity had arrived. Initially, I planned to shake up the parliamentary structure by allying with the Orlan Remnants. Unexpectedly, the Orlan Royal Family, even after two hundred years in exile, still had an unimaginably deep foundation and grand ambitions. Worse still, people from the Southern Continent appeared.”

“…”

That was what followed.

Catherine Carter didn’t continue.

Yet, she added one last sentence, “But I never planned to give up. This world has never been a stable place for humanity. Harsh environments have always given rise to even stronger survivors.”

Her tone was calm, and every move she made had an air of authority and composure.

Leonard Churchill nodded in agreement.

Listening to her brought to his mind the time at the Summer Shepherd City Ruins.

It was then he entered Catherine’s dream space.

There he had seen her standing above the seats of the five major Senators in the Federal Parliament, proud and imperious like a lion.

So that was it.

After Catherine finished speaking, it was as if she had let out a breath of foul air from her heart. She paused for a moment and then chuckled softly, “Sometimes I really was troubled. For instance, when I faced setbacks at the Flood Gang in Sinless City, I even doubted whether my abilities were sufficient to support my ideals. It wasn’t until later when I met someone, and he told me I wasn’t a caged bird, that I firmly decided to undertake the Hero Trial… and then, a lot of things happened.”

While speaking, she casually flicked and spun the cherished Fate Coin, which hummed as it turned.

Her eyes seemed to reminisce those scenes, and several important turns of fate all occurred after that change in her mindset.

“…”

Leonard chuckled upon hearing this.

Had taking that girl up to the rooftop for a breath of fresh air really made such a big impact?

Before they knew it, they had talked about a lot.

They had drunk their fill and eaten their fill.

After Catherine finished sharing her story, she looked at Leonard, raised her glass, and said, “Next time, if we both are still alive, it’s your turn to treat me to a drink.”

Leonard replied cheerfully, “Deal!”

…

Several days later.

The Gold-digging Dock, which Leonard remembered from the previous battle, had been completely flattened by explosives.

Now it was nothing but densely packed military camps.

The main tent in the camp displayed a military flag bearing the symbol of a purple iris and a golden spear.

It was the banner of the Iris Legion, one of the Red Dragon Kingdom’s ace legions.

Encircling the exterior was a row of red tents.

This was the encampment of the Ninth Iris Legion.

And they were the Vanguard Team about to set off towards the East Wilderness.

Inside the tents, a group of fully-armed soldiers was busy with their equipment, chatting and bantering.

“Oh man, Old Smith, you’ve struck it rich this time. Getting a hunting spot in the Vanguard Legion, you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life.”

“What richness? I don’t know what’s waiting for us in the East Wilderness, and I’ve already spent all my savings…”

“Ten thousand Gold Coins for a spot, you’d better be secretly thrilled. If you don’t want to go, give it to me; I’ll pay thirteen thousand!”

“Heh heh, anywhere else people find excuses not to go to war, but here, they pay to fight in the East Wilderness!”

“You’re new here and don’t know, although the East Wilderness is poor in laws, it’s rich in mineral deposits. The nobles from the East are filthy rich. The strong ones there are only Sixth Tier, just a bunch of fat pigs ready for the slaughter…”

“Hahaha, that’s right. The first batch that entered ‘Sinless City’ of the Seventh Legion, didn’t each one stuff like ten Storage Rings with treasures…”

“…”

The soldiers discussed the East Wilderness with a kind of excitement they couldn’t contain.

It was like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing a flock of sheep.

In their eyes, this war was no different from a hunting expedition.

The opponents were too weak, leaving nothing but slaughter and looting.

That’s why one needed connections to go to fight in the East Wilderness.

In a corner, a young soldier cleaning a short spear was also actively engaging in the conversation.

This was Leonard in disguise.

After spending some time, he had once again acquired a perfect disguise identity.

He also spent some money to secure a spot to go to the East.

He had almost gathered all the information he needed.

As he expected, that Ninth Order Grand Marshal, Andre Drolsky, was still on his way.

Currently, it was the Vanguard Team charting the path in the East Wilderness.

The grand spectacle of war was just beginning to unfold.

In the middle of the conversation, suddenly a distant “woo woo woo” sounded a melodious assembly call.

“The Ninth Legion, get ready to leave!”

“Hahaha, time to make a fortune!”

“…”

Leonard followed the crowd of the Vanguard Legion and soon arrived next to the Abyssal Rift.

Docked there was a giant black sailboat over two hundred meters long.

This was a Void Battleship used by the Southern Continent to cross the Void Rift, reportedly forged from the bones of a true High-Tier Great Dragon.

The entire ship exuded a faint Dragon’s Might.

This was also previously mentioned by Catherine as one of the reasons why spies from the Alliance Army found it difficult to infiltrate.

Without the Dragon Bloodline, it was easy to be exposed on this ship.

Leonard had become quite accustomed to the work of a spy. He stood at the end of the long queue with a usual expression, waiting to board the ship.

From a distance, he could see sealed crates being moved down to the dock.

They were not stored in Storage Rings, not because of their large size, but because they were like Disaster Objects, treasures on a higher law level.
