Chapter 1364: Chapter 418: Elder Clinton Gets Captured Again_2 Chapter 1364: Chapter 418: Elder Clinton Gets Captured Again_2 After all, the final battle that year did witness the participation of numerous top-tier powerhouses from the Taren Dynasty.

God-level materials, card master inheritances, and even broken divinities, divine weapons, along with remnants bearing the fortune of kingship…

Theoretically, they should all be possible to find on the battlefield.

The entire Old Continent might not have any other place capable of yielding a richer trove of treasures than this.

…

Griffith did not join the main force, but instead decided to check out what exactly was going on with the Insect Queen.

She was the only one qualified to come into contact with such an existence.

However, by the time she got there, the worms were still around, but the Insect Mother Caracta had already vanished without a trace.

Another point worth noting is that, among those ruins debris, she found an unmovable black monolith.

Others might not know what that stele was, but Leonard Churchill did.

He wasn’t surprised to find a Forbidden Ruins Stele there.

Come to think of it, every stele seems to be connected to the Ancient Gods.

Since Griffith couldn’t show up for the time being, Leonard and his group took a painted boat to meet up with the Rebel Dragon Army’s exploration team.

Several days later.

In the depths of the Void.

Leonard and his companions had a small target and smoothly found the Rebel Dragon Army troops scattered and hiding in the various ruins.

This was an unremarkable fragment of a plane.

When Leonard and the others arrived, there was a team of a few hundred people exploring there.

Because there happened to be a Twisted Light Gate here.

Seeing Aragon and a few other officers arrive, the stationed Rebel Dragon Army troops also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Captain Aragon, you have finally arrived.”

“Rom, what’s the situation now?”

“Captain Aragon, it’s like this… We had previously found the area where the Imperial Capital Behemoth collapsed. We obtained a lot of treasures, but somehow the Holy Church discovered us… So we temporarily withdrew. The Holy Church teleported a large number of mercenaries over and is now intensively exploring… However, those few large Alternate Dimension developments are extremely difficult, so they shouldn’t be able to handle them in short order.”

“Hmm.”

“This is a minor Alternate Dimension ‘siege outpost,’ and we are about to finish dealing with it.”

“…”

After the greetings, Aragon also inquired about the situation.

It was pretty much as he had anticipated.

The Holy Church had already seized the most central area of the ruins.

They had many people, strong capabilities, and a continuous stream of War Slaves to cultivate the land.

The operatives of the Rebel Dragon Army could only retreat.

But there was also a problem.

Guerrilla warfare was the main tactic of the Rebel Dragon Army.

Originally, they planned to develop the area stealthily by themselves; now with an enemy helping to open it up, they had to consider how to maximize their profits.

…

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Aragon did not introduce Leonard and his companions too formally.

Especially Camilla and Tracy Garcia, who were cloaked, not letting anyone see them clearly.

As Leonard listened to Aragon’s conversation, he observed the Ruins Campsite.

Besides a few squads of the Rebel Dragon Army, there were mostly Alliance Army personnel.

After their recent arrival, they happened upon a team emerging from the Twisted Light Gate.

Although almost every one of the dozen or so people who came out was injured, their faces revealed the joy of a tremendous find.

The leader promptly reported to an officer: “Colonel Bart, we were lucky this time. We perfectly cleared the B-tier storyline difficulty, producing several Golden Quality mechanical drawings, as well as a large batch of rare metals. Sergeant Rogue even acquired a ‘Golden Spades 5’ Demon Mark!”

“Hmm. Well done. What about casualties?”

“Six died.”

“Hmm. Major Mark, record the intelligence. The rest of you go treat your wounds and rest. I’ve noted your Contribution Points and rewards, and will pass them on to headquarters. When the logistical ship arrives, you can take leave.”

“Yes, Colonel!”

“…”

This was a standard Alternate Dimension exploration mission.

What made it different, however, was that the participants were trained professional soldiers.

Everyone in the team looked highly efficient, their aura sharp and piercing like the edge of a blade.

With his current discernment, Leonard could tell at a glance that each member of this team was among the best in their tier.

After all, these were not mere adventurers but elite troops nurtured by the Lionheart Family.

When Leonard and Catherine Carter discussed the joint exploration of the lost Imperial Capital, both knew the immense significance of this adventure.

Therefore, the individuals selected were all carefully chosen elites.

Although the exploration carried great risks and losses were inevitable.

It was necessary.

The ruins constituted a colossal treasury; nearly everything unearthed here was of high Quality.

Leonard’s previous participation in the “Terror Nest” was exemplary.

The mechanical drawings and materials obtained, once mass-produced, could mean a great deal to the Alliance Army.

Moreover, taking part in the exploration itself was a form of training for the soldiers, as the Alternate Dimension would often yield treasures highly suited to the adventurers themselves.

As he pondered, the colonel already began arranging a new team, ordering: “Major Poli, as soon as the latest intelligence is compiled, you lead the team in. This time focus on excavating the B-tier storyline’s hidden plots, triggering several side missions if you can. Don’t be too aggressive; ensure the safety of your personnel as much as possible.”

The major saluted: “Yes, Colonel! I guarantee to complete the mission!”

“…”

Leonard watched, momentarily lost in thought.

Professional soldiers were indeed different from the lax adventurers he usually encountered.

Here were people with conviction and faith.
