Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1276 - Chapter 1276 Chapter 392 Lost Imperial Capital·Behemoth_3

Chapter 1276: Chapter 392: Lost Imperial Capital*Behemoth_3 Chapter 1276: Chapter 392: Lost Imperial Capital*Behemoth_3 Leonard Churchill didn’t know what had happened during that blank period in history.

But it was predictable that the battle at Imperial City Behemoth must have claimed countless experts.

Apart from curiosity about that period, what was most attractive in these war relics were the treasures left behind!

Countless top-rank card masters, even those of God Tier, had fallen in that war.

Their bodies carried Demon Marks, cultivation techniques, Curse Cards, relics, mechanical equipment… and so on.

Based on the current excavation situation of various relics on the Old Continent, even if the treasures from that era were destroyed in the great war, there’s an eighty percent chance they would appear in the Alternate Dimension.

This means, whoever finds the Taren Imperial Capital is like finding a treasure trove of immeasurable value!

The previous discovery of the Old Continent by the Eastern Wasteland Federal Government, in fact, was driven by this very goal.

However, as exploration deepened, the dangers encountered in the relics increased, monster tiers got higher, and the progress of exploration nearly stalled.

Now, with an influx of high-tier hunters from the Southern Continent, the imperial capital ruins were finally discovered.

Aragon nodded, “Hmm, but the trouble is, the space near the imperial capital has already shattered, forming numerous cracks similar to world rifts. Without a carrier to traverse these rifts, it’s hard to approach the core of the battlefield…”

Pausing for a moment, he looked at Leonard Churchill and revealed the purpose of this mission, “So, we plan to seize the ‘Void Dragon Ship’ at the Gold-digging Dock.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Leonard’s divine radiance retracted in his eyes, his thoughts already spreading out.

He had previously ridden that Void Dragon Ship back to the Eastern Wasteland.

It was the only means of transport for people from the Southern Continent to the Eastern Wasteland, guarded by heavy forces from beginning to end.

And now, because of Ivan’s incident, the Rebel Dragon Army had caused a stir at the dock, the people from the Southern Continent will certainly be on high alert.

Snatching the ship would be exceedingly difficult.

….

A moment later, Leonard voiced his thoughts, analyzing, “However, trying to seize the ship might be very difficult…”

From the intelligence he had, the Rebel Dragon Army did not qualify to directly confront the Ariel Empire.

Although the Rebel Dragon Army had some experts, in the Southern Continent, their overall strength was at most comparable to a large legion.

They could manage guerrilla warfare, but in a direct battle, not to mention facing the Holy Church, even any main legion of the three major kingdoms would be difficult.

Indeed, if the Rebel Dragon Army’s top leaders came together, Leonard didn’t doubt they could seize the dragon ship.

But he could imagine that the people of the Southern Continent would also consider this point.

After all, the Gold-digging Dock was a strategically vital location in the war for the Eastern Wasteland,

At least, the Marshal of the “Iris Legion,” one of the top three marshals of the Red Dragon Kingdom and an eighth-rank card master, Andre Drolsky, was stationed at the dock.

An assault would come at an extremely high cost.

Aragon, of course, was aware of their organization’s situation and had never considered a direct assault.

Knowing what Leonard was concerned about, he explained, “A direct assault is impossible. We can’t even get on board.”

At this, Aragon’s tone darkened slightly as he continued, “Previously, to rush to the Eastern Wasteland quickly, I and a few organization executives disguised ourselves and even deployed some long-prepared insiders. We thought we could get through safely, but the enemy had discovered us early. The leader had to expose himself prematurely, and a battle ensued… We were also attacked in Sinless City. Fortunately, we were prepared, and I managed to break through… though we lost a few comrades.”

“…”

Only now did Leonard realize that Aragon finding him and Ivan came at no small cost.

It was just that he had never mentioned it before.

Aragon wasn’t too sentimental, nor did he say much about the previous battle, but he added, “Later we basically confirmed that at the time of enemy boarding, there were some relics capable of detecting tiers. Our disguised identities didn’t match our tiers, so they saw through us early…”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill had already figured out what Aragon’s plan was.

His expression remained unchanged, but great interest had surged in his heart.

Aragon, knowing that the person before him could guess, didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, “So, in order to board and take over the ship, the tier of the participants must not be too high.”

“Hmm.”

Leonard Churchill could certainly understand.

Even within the armies of the Southern Continent, Seventh Rank and Eighth Rank card masters were rare, and their identities were mostly high-ranking officers above the level of legion commanders.

Not to mention whether one could impersonate these influential figures, even if possible, such identities were unlikely to board casually, and once on board, they would inevitably be closely monitored.

The probability of being discovered was very high.

Therefore, the lower the tier of the participants, the less conspicuous they were.

But if the tier of those boarding was too low, they wouldn’t be able to forcefully seize control of the ship.

This plan was inherently contradictory.

Until Aragon saw the current Leonard Churchill.

Although people from the Southern Continent know that the five-man group from the Holy Church who had come to execute the mission in the Eastern Wasteland had all died in battle–three in the City of Thieves, and the causes of death for the other two remained unclear.

Normal thinking would assume that the Rebel Dragon Army killed the other two.

After all, no one would think that a Sixth Rank could survive under the hands of a Great Deacon holding a Rune Stone, let alone kill in return.

So, this misinformation was an opportunity.

Aragon continued, “We were also very troubled before, unable to think of anyone who could execute this plan. We even thought about the leader taking action personally, but that would not only inevitably lead to heavy casualties, the Void Dragon Ship would most likely be damaged…then the plan would be completely meaningless.”

As he spoke, he looked at Leonard Churchill and sincerely asked, “So, Brother Leonard, are you interested in participating in this plan?”

Both were straightforward people, and there was no need for winding words.

Aragon candidly shared their plan, not forgetting to remind him, “However, this plan carries great risk. If you…”

Before he could finish, Leonard Churchill casually agreed, “Of course I’m interested!”

Risk?

Indeed, it was not small.

But the moment Aragon spoke, Leonard Churchill had already considered even more.

Since the Rebel Dragon Army Leader had already personally come, the risk was already controllable.

As long as the men of the Rebel Dragon Army could hold off the top-tier fighters at the dock, the risk on board the ship to Leonard Churchill would not be greater than facing that Great Deacon before.

Moreover, now that Ivan’s miraculous ability had been discovered, the risk assessment could be further reduced.

Upon hearing this, Aragon, while relieved, also felt somewhat guilty.

But from the first time he met Leonard Churchill, he knew that this guy, who dared to bet on an S-ranked pass through the Alternate Dimension, would definitely not be dissuaded by risk.

He said, “Since Brother Leonard is participating, the leader has already said, there will definitely be compensation. So…our plan can go like this…”

“…”

As for compensation, Leonard Churchill didn’t demur, considering that it came from the high levels of the Rebel Dragon Army.

What he cared more about was, after obtaining the dragon ship, that lost Imperial Capital–Behemoth!
