Chapter 1320: Chapter 405: Horror Insect Cave*Seeking Ominous Matron Maggot Margit Chapter 1320: Chapter 405: Horror Insect Cave*Seeking Ominous Matron Maggot Margit Having infiltrated many times, Leonard Churchill was now very familiar with the various situations on the Southern Continent.

Having once played the role of an information merchant, he was also clearer than the average person on how to obtain precise and valuable information from various channels.

Upon learning that the “Ruins of Saint Crown City” produced a large number of mechanical relics, Leonard Churchill specifically inquired about related intelligence.

As for the current situation, more than eighty percent of the Alternate Dimensions nearby were related to machinery.

However, having reached the Sixth Tier, his options were rather limited.

Leonard Churchill’s targets were not only the relics but also the mechanical materials that were transported out.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Leonard Churchill had basically gathered all the necessary information.

The “Rainbow Consortium” with an official background took charge of purchasing the mechanical equipment from the ruins, melting them down into metal raw materials, and shipping them back to the Southern Continent.

The quantity was vast, usually requiring large transportation teams to transfer.

When Leonard Churchill learned of this, a bold idea emerged.

…

After assessing the risks, Leonard Churchill decisively notified Catherine Carter’s side of the key intelligence that could yield a large amount of rare metals.

Compared to a massive number of Hunters risking their lives searching for materials in the ruins, intercepting a transportation team was much quicker.

With sufficient information for deduction, the risk was also basically controllable.

To minimize the risk of the heist, Leonard Churchill also deliberately inquired about the Ariel Empire’s stance toward the “East Wilderness” and the “Alliance Army.”

He ultimately concluded it was feasible.

The war in the East Wilderness seemed fierce, but that was all it was, limited to the East Wilderness.

For the people of the Southern Continent, this war of annihilation hardly caused any ripples.

A remote little kingdom without even a Seventh-Order Card Master wasn’t truly a concern to anyone, nor did anyone expect the outcome of the war to be a surprise.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, it was the “private property” of the Red Dragon Kingdom, which was the first to discover the East Wilderness.

It was more like discovering a gold mine, with the Red Dragon Royal Family almost monopolizing all development rights in the East Wilderness.

Although the Black Dragon and Silver Dragon Kingdoms were also interested in the East Wilderness, their focus was on developing the Old Continent.

In comparison, although the risks of hunting in the wastelands were high, the harvest was not necessarily less than the conquest of the barren East Wilderness.

Moreover, the Holy Church had issued a “time-limited development order” for the relics.

This also forced the three royal families to speed up the reclamation.

After hearing this related news, Leonard Churchill became even more certain of the nearly one hundred percent success rate of intercepting the transportation team.

After all, the current “Alliance Army” was considered a third-rate rebel organization by the officials of the Ariel Empire.

Even a small detachment of the Rebel Dragon Army couldn’t compare, and it wasn’t worth taking notice of.

Not to mention the trouble of using bait for a calculated trap.

…

Another ten days flashed by.

The scale of the Hunting Wasteland Camp in Saint Crown City was growing larger and larger.

The pubs where the mercenaries entertained themselves were also becoming more lively.

It was in the middle of the afternoon.

The pub was already filled with drinkers, bustling with noise.

Most of those who could afford to entertain themselves in the pub at this time were the lucky few who had just come out of the ruins alive and made a fortune.

These mercenaries were not stingy with drinking expensive wine, bragging about their adventurous experiences.

“Oy, you guys have no idea, I heard that the vanguard units have already discovered fragments of the ‘Ruins of Saint Crown City’ deep within the Void Rift. They are accelerating development…”

“I just came back from Area C4. Heh heh, our Flame Gryphon Group launched ‘The First Siege’ three times, and from that Alternate Dimension, we got three special cards, dozens of artifacts of Golden Quality or higher… I was just lucky, casually tagging along with the group, and I also got a few hundred thousand gold! Hahahaha… Not only do I have enough for my whole life, but my eight children also have whatever they need for their beginner-tier advancements…”

“My God, how is that possible? What’s the death rate?”

“It’s high! Otherwise, why do you think the price of slaves has skyrocketed recently? It’s because a large number of high-risk Alternate Dimensions appeared in Area C4. Just our group to probe that dimension spent two hundred elite slaves, only then finding a method with a high survival rate…”

“Yeah, after C3, it’s the core area of the ruins. Although the risk is high, the output is indeed astonishing. Let me tell you some truly life-saving intelligence… Most of the creatures in those Alternate Dimensions are insects, and the majority of them aren’t high-tier and are very fragile, but there are a lot of them. Close Combat Card Masters are at a disadvantage, you need Magic Types that can kill swarms of insects over a large area, those who can come out alive will definitely have a high point evaluation…”

“…”

At the tables, the drinkers were blowing their own trumpets.

At this moment, a small-mustached information merchant called out to the bartender: “Serve the best wine! It’s on me!”

The small-moustached man was none other than Leonard Churchill, disguised as an information merchant.

In these past ten-plus days, he hadn’t been in a hurry to explore the ruins, but rather gathered intelligence everywhere he went.

The mercenaries who came out of the ruins alive had information that was even more precise and useful than the Hunter’s Association.

Before long, Leonard Churchill finished his daily routine at the pub and stepped out onto the street.

After a short walk, an encrypted message came through his communicator: “Successfully handled.”

This communicator was only contactable by one person, and that was Catherine Carter.

Seeing and hearing this message, Leonard Churchill also showed a hint of relief on his face and murmured to himself: “Interception successful? Looks like I need to skedaddle…”

What he had been waiting for these many days, aside from gathering information, was those rare metals.

The day before, Leonard Churchill had secured a top-secret message through his means and channels that the Rainbow Consortium was about to transport away nearly half a month’s worth of stored rare metals.
