However, when he heard that their goal was B-level clearance, Leonard Churchill felt a bit unfamiliar with the concept.

But upon reflection, it dawned on him.

The legion and individual adventurers had different needs when it came to adventure.

Individual adventurers, of course, sought the ultimate reward from a single challenge.

But legions did not.

It wasn’t necessary to achieve S or A tier clearance; even B or C tier clearance, if repeated often enough, could yield a multitude of treasures.

As long as the base number was large enough, there were bound to be some “lucky” individuals; the settlement card draws could turn up something good.

After all, the tier of these Alternate Dimension spaces was high enough that even low-difficulty clearance produced quite desirable outcomes.

Moreover, the overall tier of the Alliance Army wasn’t very high, so they were unable to assimilate items that were too high-end.

To incur such great casualties and challenge extremely difficult levels wasn’t worth it.

On the contrary, repeatedly farming lower difficulty levels for completion was the way to maximize benefits.

…

Whether it was the Alliance Army or the Rebel Dragon Army, such large organizations had countless mature and efficient plans for pioneering new lands.

Leonard didn’t need to worry about them.

For some reason, he had a feeling that he should take a stroll through the camp.

Thinking about it, he stood up and took a few steps.

The camp of several hundred people was not large; he made a round, and in no time, he had seen it all.

However, when Leonard saw a “prisoner” being held in a corner, his expression froze: “Senior Clinton?”

He had never expected to see Elder Clinton again, whom he hadn’t seen for many days.

But then again, during their few encounters, the old man was always in the role of a captive.

If he saw him in an enemy prison, Leonard wouldn’t mind enjoying the spectacle.

But seeing the old senior captured by the Alliance Army made Leonard’s eyes twitch, and he hurried over.

Of all the people to capture, they had nabbed this one.

Countless experiences had shown, capturing him could well mean the annihilation of the entire group…

Elder Clinton also looked up and recognized Leonard, even though he was cloaked; the old man’s face that was just downcast suddenly bloomed into a smile like a chrysanthemum: “Ah, Brother Leonard Churchill!”

He shouted so loudly, seemingly afraid others wouldn’t hear him, drawing all the eyes in the camp to them.

Leonard removed his cloak and quickly walked over: “Senior, what are you doing here?”

The others in the camp also looked over curiously.

The Alliance Army’s colonel commander recognized Leonard and came over immediately: “Legion Commander Bart of the Alliance Army Lion Legion’s Red Fang, at your service, Mr. Churchill!”

Leonard was not surprised to be recognized; he was now a “celebrity” within the ranks of the Alliance Army.

He was already famous as a fugitive, and now everyone was aware of his mighty connections to the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, Catherine Carter.

Leonard also recognized the colonel and nodded: “Hmm, I’ve seen you before in Sinless City.”

That time in Rose Manor, the colonel was Catherine Carter’s bodyguard.

Colonel Bart was surprised that Leonard remembered him and gave a military salute.

As the young lady’s guardian as well as an alliance commander, he knew the man in front of him held a higher position than himself.

As he spoke, Bart immediately signaled for people to unchain Elder Clinton, explaining with an apologetic face: “My apologies, Mr. Churchill. The elder gentleman here was found by one of our patrols nearby…”

He didn’t say “suspected spy” but tactfully said, “Then he mentioned that he knew you, so we brought him along.”

“Hmm.”

Leonard listened and understood.

Meeting someone in the Relics who isn’t one of our own, and looking so suspicious, it would have been strange not to consider him a spy.

However, he was curious; how did the old man know to use his name?

Leonard looked a little bemused, helping Elder Clinton off with his iron chains and asking, “Senior, how did you end up here?”

Luckily, these people really believed he knew them; otherwise, sending the old man into an Alternate Dimension as Cannon Fodder could cause many deaths.

Colonel Bart standing by looked a little embarrassed now that it appeared the old man truly knew Leonard.

Hearing the term “Senior,” he realized he might have caught a very special individual.

After all, not just anyone could make it to the depths of the Relics.

And it wasn’t only him; almost everyone in the camp was now casting curious glances toward Elder Clinton.

Elder Clinton said, “I don’t know either. After I emerged from the Alternate Dimension with you that day, I was mysteriously transported nearby. Barely finding a place to rest, then… then I was captured by them.”

It seemed as if getting captured so often had made the old man quite accustomed to it.

Once the chains were off, his toothless smile was radiant.

However, for the onlookers, his words sounded different — coming out of the Alternate Dimension?

Isn’t it supposed to be through a fixed exit?

Random teleportation?

Hiss…

Could it be an S-tier clearance?

“`

That was the only possibility left.

After everyone realized this, their gaze toward Elder Clinton changed.

Although they didn’t quite believe that such an unremarkable elder could clear an Alternate Dimension, the fact that he was with Leonard Churchill made it seem plausible.

Seeing Leonard Churchill’s tacit confirmation, could this actually be true?

…

The cause and effect bound to Elder Clinton was too heavy; it wasn’t necessarily a good thing for ordinary people to get involved with him.

Leonard Churchill didn’t plan to block people from speaking too much.

After greeting the higher-ups, he led Elder Clinton to a corner.

The elder’s presence here gave him an uneasy premonition.

Without any delay, Leonard Churchill immediately found Aragon, who was still discussing plans, and said, “Aragon, I think we may need to leave first.”

Aragon cast a questioning look, “Hmm?”

He couldn’t understand why, after previously agreeing on an ambush against the Holy Church’s experts, Leonard Churchill suddenly changed plans after encountering an acquaintance.

Leonard Churchill’s eyes were filled with complexity, “It’s hard to explain.”

“Alright!”

Seeing Leonard Churchill’s expression, Aragon, though still confused, didn’t ask further.

Leonard Churchill turned to leave and, thinking it over, he added another word, “Be careful!”

He wasn’t sure if they had been implicated, but a reminder wouldn’t hurt.

Aragon had a vague idea of what was going on and nodded, “Hmm.”

…

Leonard Churchill didn’t dare to linger any longer in the camp and started to escape into the depths of the Void with Elder Clinton.

Camilla and Tracy Garcia followed them.

The two women were also puzzled by Leonard Churchill’s actions but didn’t ask any questions.

After Elder Clinton escaped his predicament, his mood immediately improved, and he became quite talkative.

The elder looked at the two young women with a daisy-like smile on his weathered face, “Ay, these two girls are really pretty. Even better than that lass last time.”

Leonard Churchill didn’t know what to say.

Tracy Garcia, on the other hand, blinked her curious eyes, showing no strangeness, and took the initiative to introduce herself, “Grandpa, my name is Tracy Garcia.”

As Leonard Churchill referred to him as Senior, she naturally called him Grandpa.

Of course, she was also curious about who the “last time” person was that the elder mentioned.

Hearing the address “Grandpa,” Elder Clinton immediately broke into a delighted smile and responded, “Ay, such a polite girl. A strong Life Pattern too, you’re bound to achieve great things in the future.”

Though it sounded like an ordinary expectation from an elder, Leonard Churchill glanced sideways upon hearing it.

He hadn’t forgotten that the elder could perform Divination.

A hundred years ago, he made a Divination for Vera Williams that came true throughout her life.

Now hearing his evaluation of Tracy Garcia, Leonard Churchill let out a sigh of relief.

Tracy Garcia also blinked, obediently saying, “Thank you, Grandpa~”

Camilla, who hadn’t spoken due to her personality, also showed the appropriate respect.

Elder Clinton glanced at her and said, “Hmm, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a strong Royal Destiny… Both girls are very good. Leonard Churchill, you’re quite lucky.”

Leonard Churchill chuckled softly, “I’ll borrow your auspicious words, Senior.”

These matters could be discussed later in casual conversation.

He needed to confirm something else now.

Without dwelling on the topic, Leonard Churchill turned and asked, “Senior, do you know that Insect Mother Karakta has awakened?”

He knew very well that Elder Clinton was forgetful and sometimes needed to be reminded.

“Insect Mother? What Insect Mother?”

“It’s ‘Mysterious Insect Mother Karakta,’ one of the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs.”

“…”

Upon mentioning this, the elder seemed to recall something and said, “Oh, right! The insects!”

Camilla and Tracy Garcia also showed a slight surprise upon hearing this, wondering why Leonard Churchill would directly mention the name of an Outer God to a low-level card master?

Although they knew this elder might be a bit complicated, what followed was even more surprising.

Elder Clinton said, “A few days ago, I went to a Relic, full of insects… Hiss, why have I forgotten what happened there…”

Leonard Churchill’s eyes narrowed slightly at these words.

So he had been there, had he?

Steles, Outer Gods… Elder Clinton.

Whenever these three appeared together, there was always a connection.

Leonard Churchill still didn’t understand why the Mechanical Angel in the ‘Terror Nest’ Alternate Dimension had shown hostility towards the elder.

Now, as they drew closer to the truth of the battle that led to Taron’s collapse, he felt they were also nearing the revelation of the final puzzle.
