Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1104 - Chapter 1104 Chapter 338 Return to the East Wilderness_3

Chapter 1104: Chapter 338: Return to the East Wilderness_3 Chapter 1104: Chapter 338: Return to the East Wilderness_3 Though the East Wilderness is barren, it has amassed quite a few treasures over three thousand years.

All of these are the spoils of recent plunder.

Besides goods, there were war captives with gaunt faces and slave collars around their necks.

Leonard Churchill sensed their “aura”; they were all official card masters.

Now, as the Old Continent was in short supply of cannon fodder for its new frontiers, these high-quality captives were transported over at the first opportunity.

After waiting nearly half an hour, it was finally Leonard Churchill’s turn to board the ship.

At the entrance to the ship, a few Mysterious Series card masters in black robes were meddling with a crystal ball, seemingly checking for spies.

Only two of these “Void Battleships” have been transported so far, and the people from the Southern Continent are very cautious, fearing sabotage that might destroy the ships.

Leonard Churchill was already privy to the intelligence that neither the Allied Forces nor the Orlan Royal Court had succeeded in their attempts.

After observing for a bit, there really weren’t any flaws to exploit. To destroy a Dragon Bone Ship, ordinary explosives certainly wouldn’t suffice.

He wasn’t panicking at all and remained completely calm as he passed the check and boarded the warship.

Gravity inverted, sails unfurled; departure began.

In the dock, the battleship was a colossal structure, but in the Void Rift filled with mist, it became increasingly tiny, as if it were a flat boat that might capsize at any time.

Leonard Churchill had crossed the Void Rift many times, but still felt an irrepressible awe when gazing into the endless abyss of space.

Before, there was a cable car, with a steel cable to guide the way.

But now this battleship was like a rootless duckweed, floating aimlessly as if it might drift off to an unknown place.

In the cabin, the soldiers from the Southern Continent also had an instinctive reverence for the Void.

Hardly anyone spoke.

Leonard Churchill looked at the mist outside the window, contemplating, “Are there terrifying monsters here…”

After hearing the secret tale of Emperor Lanlingster’s corporeal crossing of the Void Rift in the Rune Highlands, he realized that within this endless dark chasm, there might lurk creatures capable of grievously wounding even those of God Tier.

And judging by the actions of that Great Emperor, deep within the rift lay some of the ultimate secrets of this world.

As he thought, a light unexpectedly appeared before his eyes.

The soldiers in the cabin became noisy again.

“Haha, look everyone, we’ve arrived at the East Wilderness!”

…

Leonard Churchill once again set foot on the land of the East Wilderness.

Downing Street was still bustling as ever.

People from the Southern Continent waged war on the East Wilderness not to annihilate a civilization, but to plunder wealth and for pleasure.

Fortunately, Downing Street boasted the most prosperous entertainment industry in the entire East Wilderness.

Some newly repaired buildings bore traces of war’s ravages, but everything else was much the same as before.

Dolled-up women enthusiastically greeted passing soldiers on the streets; in the taverns, liquor flowed like water in a scene of debauchery.

For the women, it probably made little difference who was in charge.

Be it the Federation or the Orlan Royal Court, and now the Royal Family of the Southern Continent…

It was just a change of men to frolic with, nothing more.

Before coming here, Leonard Churchill had heard that the place was now the personal property of a Duke from the Red Dragon.

Now it was the den of debauchery for soldiers from the Southern Continent.

There were numerous war slaves in the war.

The less fortunate ones ended up as laborers toiling away,

those fit to be cannon fodder were shipped to the Old Continent,

and some with fairer looks, regardless of whether they were nobles or of other statuses, were mostly sent to Downing Street.

On the streets, one could see bare female slaves being led by slave merchants with hemp ropes and sold in public.

Their bare flesh and humiliated expressions only exacerbated the wanton smiles on the faces of the victors.

Leonard Churchill had previously mingled in the Noble Circle of Sinless City for some time, and as he walked by, he even recognized several familiar faces.

Noble ladies and young ladies from officials’ households now stood naked on the streets, waiting indignantly to be bought.

War has always been cruel.

Leonard Churchill watched and also observed.

His Ninth Iris Legion would stay in Sinless City for the night as a reward before the battle.

Leonard Churchill did not contact Catherine Carter’s intelligence personnel.

He would not easily trust anyone at this point.

Besides, he was already familiar with Downing Street and clearly understood the various channels.

After making a round, he gathered a good deal of information.

Apart from Sinless City, the armies from the Southern Continent had broken through several major cities.

However, due to the threat of the Mechanical Titans and the vast expanse of the East Wilderness with its numerous cities, the conquest was not progressing very quickly.

It was quite coincidental.

The mission received by the Ninth Legion was to launch a surprise attack on a military target near Starfall City in the southern Federation.

And it just so happened that Leonard Churchill learned from Catherine Carter’s intelligence that one of the Song Family’s secret military factories was located there.

The last distress signal sent by Lew Williams also originated from that place.
