Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1393 - Chapter 1393 Chapter 428 Stabbing the King

Chapter 1393: Chapter 428: Stabbing the King Chapter 1393: Chapter 428: Stabbing the King Mad King Auduin personally joined the battle outside the walls of Behemoth City, where the earth already bore witness to an abattoir of carnage and mayhem.

In such a battle, even high-order card masters were reduced to cannon fodder.

Leonard Churchill, Camilla, and Tracy Garcia did not dare to tarry and quickly mounted an undead bone dragon.

It must be said that the Behemoth, from the Taren Dynasty Empire three thousand years ago, truly represented the pinnacle of architectural achievement.

As the bone dragon approached the city wall, Leonard and his companions were immediately struck in awe by the majestic white stone ramparts, leaving them stupefied for quite some time.

The bone dragon was a spirit object of High Priest Will Smith, and the guards of the Imperial City recognized it.

Thus, the trio passed through several barriers without hindrance and entered the city.

As they arrived, the city’s troops were also continuously pouring out, rushing to reinforce His Majesty the Emperor.

The rebels had long formed their battle arrays outside the city, and when the two sides encountered each other, the battlefield instantly exploded into chaos.

Mad King Auduin indeed fought with relish, but this only hastened the dynasty’s downfall.

Originally, had the defense of the city held strong, the rebels might have paid a hundredfold price to breach these formidable walls.

But now, abandoning the advantage of city defenses for melee combat meant that with every loss of a loyal soldier, the decline accelerated by a fraction.

Leonard observed silently.

The soldiers’ loyalty and the king’s tyranny created a stark contrast.

Upon reflection, it seemed that the downfall of the Taren Dynasty was, perhaps, an inevitable moment in history.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, and traces of the fabled “Law of War” began to reveal themselves before his eyes.

Although this was a recreation of events in the Alternate Dimension, seeing this scene allowed him to roughly infer what had actually happened in the past.

…

After entering the city, the flying dragon took the three directly to a guesthouse in the Royal Court.

After Tracy thanked the bone dragon, it flapped its wings and flew back outside the city.

Now inside the city, one could say the exploration of the Alternate Dimension was safe.

With the current situation, there was little chance of the city being breached in this space.

The tense expressions that had been on their faces eased simultaneously.

Looking up, the floating island with rainbows and waterfalls was the palace.

From within, the city appeared even more magnificent than from afar, grand and resplendent, radiating the imperial majesty and authority in every direction.

The city was filled with beautiful white structures, and at every street corner, multicolored flowers bloomed profusely in planters. People dressed in vibrant attire walked the streets, while mechanical airships floated in the sky…

This was a city where machinery and magic were highly developed, everything here representing the pinnacle of Taren Dynasty civilization.

Even as the imperial fortune waned to its ultimate end, this scene, beheld by East Wilderness three thousand years later, could not even hold a candle to it.

If not for the dark cloud of war looming over the entire city, it could be considered the most beautiful, the most spectacular, the most awe-inspiring city Leonard had ever seen.

At this point in time, the last moments before the Taren Dynasty’s collapse, the Imperial City Behemoth was filled to the brim with card masters gathered from across the empire.

The immense battle outside also made the interior of the city clamorous, with people thronging the streets, worry etched on every face.

From the rooftop of the guesthouse, the trio gazed contemplatively over the vast urban districts nearby.

In Leonard’s eyes, it was almost as if he had stepped into history, witnessing the once-glorious civilization.

Though Camilla’s face was expressionless, the trembling teardrops in her crystalline eyes betrayed her emotions. As one of the Augustus Bloodline, she watched the curtain fall on the splendid empire that her ancestors had built, and her heart filled with a unique form of lament.

The rise and fall of the dynasty, and its eventual descent into oblivion, was reminiscent of a human life: birth, vigorous growth, aging, and ultimately death.

Curiosity filled Tracy’s eyes as she looked around at the prosperous streetscapes.

The battle outside was too distant, and the city’s defensive restrictions obscured the view, making it impossible to see anything.

It was uncertain how long the battle would continue.

Suddenly, Bun-Haired Miss suggested, “Leonard, Sister Camilla, shall we go explore the city?”

At this, Camilla’s slightly unfocused pupils sharpened, and she nodded her head.

Her thoughts returned from the inexplicable sadness to the present.

Leonard felt the same.

Their arrival was precisely to trigger the various hidden plots within King’s City.

After all, this was Behemoth from three thousand years ago, the zenith of an era for technological and card master civilization!

…

Chatting, they left the guesthouse immediately.

In a Behemoth at war, controls and restrictions were everywhere, with patrols of machinery and armored soldiers all over the place.

However, since Leonard and his companions were guests of the High Priest, delivered by the bone dragon, everyone knew they were honored guests.

This status granted them the freedom to roam the city.

With the battle reaching a critical point, most entertainment businesses on the streets were not open.

The ones still operating were largely related to war supplies.

Machinery shops, card shops–this was exactly what Leonard needed.

The current scene in Behemoth City bore some resemblance to the situation in the East Wilderness.

Due to the war, all sorts of mechanical equipment, classic books, curse cards, Demon Marks, and profession cards that were once hidden within the treasuries of nobles and the Royal Family had now flowed into the market.

Even though those available for sale in the shops were often not high-end versions.

But after all, this was the glorious age of the card master civilization three thousand years ago!

The shops along the street were practically giving away materials of Silver and Black Iron Quality.
