Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1307 - Chapter 1307 Chapter 401 Siege_3

Chapter 1307: Chapter 401: Siege_3 Chapter 1307: Chapter 401: Siege_3 Shadow was startled and exclaimed, “I’ve been discovered?”

Catherine Carter thought of something and mysteriously smiled, “Although he didn’t say it, he must know.”

The Lionheart Family was once the Federation’s First Warlord, capable of sitting on equal terms with the five major senators; how could they not have their own resources?

Their family had always cultivated their own Secret Guard force.

After Catherine Carter took control, she placed even greater importance on this.

What others didn’t know was that among the newly promoted Seventh Ranks in the Alliance Army, there weren’t only those openly under Logan but also two other Secret Guards under Catherine who had never shown their faces.

Knowing that the Rebel Dragon Army acquired advancement materials through her alone, how could she not have some backups?

The materials that highly matched the Secret Guards were prioritized in the trades.

Therefore, even if Logan truly decided to use force, Catherine actually had enough strength to respond.

She just hadn’t found the right opportunity yet.

Those old foxes who manipulated power would not give anyone a chance to strike at them unless their tails were exposed.

Thinking this, a fierce light flashed in Catherine’s eyes, “Act according to the original plan. Once we notice traces of those people, head there immediately. Notify the special service team that as soon as Logan dies in battle, immediately liquidate!”

Shadow Guard: “Yes!”

….

However, just as Leonard Churchill left the base, several people who had been waiting for a long time in a hidden stronghold received the message.

“We’ve just received a message from that side; the person has left the base.”

“How many people?”

“One.”

“One? Are you sure?”

“Yes, sure. We’ve diverted the experts in the base these past few days; the other permanent residents won’t leave either. Moreover, our spy has confirmed that after hearing that young man’s words, Catherine didn’t arrange for an escort…

“Heh, it’s just as the intelligence said, that guy is exceedingly arrogant and likes to take risks with his life. No wonder he dared to attack the governor of Sinless City at the First Tier. He probably thinks he’s capable enough not to need an escort. What about the route?”

“He should be heading toward the ‘Fluorescent Forest’ direction. We previously had scouts map out this area, it’s very remote, and there’s a vast plain, which is suitable for an ambush. Further beyond that is the complex Dark River Area; if we act there, unexpected things might happen…”

“Let’s go!”

…

These were none other than General Logan and several of his confidants.

Being high-ups in the military, they also suspected problems with this operation.

However, after analyzing the current intelligence again and again, they found no issues.

However they theorized, everything seemed “normal.”

It was precisely because it was too normal that it made them suspicious.

There were only two possibilities in such a situation.

Either the enemy’s planning capabilities were far superior to theirs, devoid of any flaws;

Or, it was as they saw, the opponent really hadn’t noticed the danger.

Logan instinctively felt he shouldn’t be careless.

But his confidence in his strength told him, what could possibly go wrong?

Yet, strong individuals often harbor an inexplicable confidence in their abilities.

Logan felt that his Seventh Rank strength was sufficient to handle any unexpected situations.

Moreover, Leonard Churchill gave the opponent a chance that didn’t allow for much consideration.

Once he left the “Fluorescent Forest”, there wouldn’t be such a good opportunity for an ambush anymore.

With this in mind, Logan and his men didn’t hesitate at all.

They couldn’t let the person escape!

Thus, they also pursued immediately.

…

Leonard Churchill stealthily moved in the darkness.

The area where the Alliance Army headquarters was located was a desolate area.

Not to mention people, even Demon Beasts and monsters were rare.

The route Leonard chose was towards the more remote northern paths; along the way, apart from the sounds of his breath and the whooshing wind, the area around was eerily quiet.

However, he chose this road precisely because it was safer due to fewer monsters.

Before long, Leonard saw some luminescent plants emerging by the roadside.

Soon, when he darted out of a cave, his view abruptly opened up.

A vast, endless Fluorescent Forest appeared in his vision.

This was a common sight in the Cavern World, but such a large-scale forest was something Leonard was seeing for the first time.

“How beautiful…”

Looking at the forest before him, Leonard felt both relaxed and pleased by the beautiful scenery.

The Extraordinary World also had some unique natural landscapes that were never seen in his previous life.

However, looking at the vast plain, his eyes also revealed a hint of dangerous intent, “Indeed, not a bad place to be buried…”

Whether it was his own death here or his enemy’s, both were quite fitting.

In the middle of a vast plain, once targeted by an enemy, it would be difficult to escape.

But the same was true for Leonard.

If it were a more complex terrain, and if the enemy escaped, not finishing a wounded snake could be troublesome.

A thought flashed, and Leonard darted into the forest.

Since it was an unfamiliar environment, he showed appropriate caution and didn’t walk fast.

Along the way, he also deliberately erased the traces he left.

There were only some small, non-threatening Demon Beasts in the forest. Their instinct for danger was much stronger than humans; probably sensing that the lone human in the forest was not to be trifled with, no unwise beasts sprang forth.

Leonard’s journey was thus fairly stable.

However, before long, suddenly a rapid whooshing sound came from the forest.

Leonard was not surprised at all but merely raised his eyebrows and muttered, “Is there a magic marker on my clothes? Tsk tsk, has Catherine’s side been bought over as well…”
