Chapter 1461: Chapter 448 Leonard Churchill’s brave shout, protect the young master!_2 Chapter 1461: Chapter 448 Leonard Churchill’s brave shout, protect the young master!_2 Leonard Churchill estimated that Sack’s body couldn’t handle the high intensity of the Spell casting for much longer.

Fortunately, he had arrived in time.

…

Leonard took one look at Sack’s condition and knew the guy wouldn’t die just yet.

Instead, he observed the color of the dragon scales on Sack’s body and was slightly surprised, “But speaking of which, Sack’s Thunder Dragon bloodline is purer than what’s rumored in the outer world. A Card Disciple already having such high Thunder Element affinity, could he be a pure-blooded dragon descendant?”

Leonard had previously studied in detail the heritage of the Noble Class of the Southern Continent.

Whether it was the three major Kingdoms or others in nobility, it indeed was a hereditary lineage of blood.

However, there were many Dragon Descendant progenies, and not everyone qualified to inherit a title.

So usually, only the strongest were entitled.

And for Dragon Descendants, the purer the Dragon Blood in their veins, usually the better their natural talent. If they consistently practiced, they ended up being very strong.

This was also why most of the top fighters in the Southern Continent were from the Noble Class.

Bloodline purity basically determined inheritance rights.

Only now, watching Sack fight, did Leonard realize how incredibly pure this Young Master’s bloodline was.

This was a significant deviation from the previous reports of “Duke Landon’s rather ordinary grandson.”

“So, could this also be a reason why someone wanted to have him killed?”

Leonard narrowed his eyes slightly, already deducing a highly probable scenario: an assassination arranged by someone within the family.

He had previously witnessed Catherine in the Lionheart Family’s bloody ascendancy in the East Wilderness, and sibling rivalry in the Noble Class centralized system of the Southern Continent was even worse.

This wasn’t surprising at all.

Leonard had no interest in family infighting.

But he couldn’t let Young Master Sack die here.

…

With that thought, Leonard shouted, “Protect the young master!”

They hadn’t arrived before, and if Sack was killed, they were likely to be demoted to slaves; but now that they had reached the battlefield, if they let their young master be killed, even if they survived, they would definitely be purged later.

So, they had to fight.

And even if he didn’t shout, the assassins seeing their comrades slain by the six wouldn’t just overlook it; they would surely clean up these bothersome apprentices.

At Leonard’s shout, David Garfield and a few teammates glanced at each other.

Their expressions involuntarily twitched.

Killing a First Order Assassin had already pushed the six of them to their limits.

They didn’t have Dragon Warrior Armor strong enough to withstand a Second Order Assassin’s piercing cuts; facing one would most likely result in one slice per person.

But even knowing certain death awaited, the group didn’t shy away.

Bound by their loyalty oaths, they gritted their teeth, already resigned to death.

Even Gale, who had his tendons severed and was receiving urgent treatment from nun Jessica, picked up a dagger with his left hand regardless of his injuries.

Leonard wasn’t deliberately sacrificing his teammates; his decision was also the optimum choice for the group.

Since fleeing meant certain death, it was better to fight, at least offering a ray of hope.

The six hurriedly chased after the ongoing fierce battle, and oddly enough, the Dwarf Garfield, usually looking simple-minded like a clumsy brown bear, directly turned his head towards Leonard, “Brother Allen, what should we do?”

Even though Leonard hadn’t stood out as much as David in the battle, when the Flying Dragon had attacked, his teammates noticed that this usually reticent team member was somewhat different.

Garfield hadn’t recognized anything in particular, just an intuition telling him that this Allen “had a clever mind.”

Leonard was straightforward, “We stay together and focus on the assassin with the injured right foot!”

With a two-tier difference, fighting was out of the question.

And most likely, a few of them were going to die.

Including himself, Leonard.

So, managing to hold off the enemy for a moment to give Sack a breather was good.

Leonard could see that the guy was pulling off seamless instant teleports, but his body was already on the verge of collapse.

If they could keep one assassin occupied, then it would be much easier for Sack and a few guards to handle the others.

Just buying time was enough.

Leonard was certain–they were near the Royal Academy, and assassinating nobility here couldn’t be a prolonged battle.

Whether it was by the Royal Academy or Duke Landon’s House’s High Tier guards, if time dragged on, they would surely notice something amiss.

What mattered now was who would be lucky enough to survive until reinforcements could arrive.

Leonard was indifferent, as dying would just mean the death of his alter ego.

The only trouble was, his identity would become unusable.

But he had a Plan B; once the alter ego died, his main body could act without reservations, at the very least, the “Curse God Card” had to be secured.

Among the other teammates, Leonard was particularly worried about David.

After all, being the Old Man’s Disciple, he was sort of his junior brother, deserving some care.

But as he saw it, death was something everyone had to face.

The stronger one was, the more inevitable this trial.

Leonard felt, this might not be a bad thing for David.

Of course, the premise was not dying.

…

Urgency left no time for detailed tactical planning.

And not everyone could keep up with Leonard’s thoughts.

He made a quick arrangement, saying rapidly, “Gale, you stealth but no need to charge in, just lurk near that guy! Garfield, wear armor, control them even if you get injured upon enemy’s approach. Jessica, you run back, stay at least two hundred meters from us, use Flash Technique to distract! David, you are the only one likely to harm the enemy, find an opportunity to strike only when the enemy is controlled… Serli and I will use controlling Spells, that guy’s foot is injured, but he will definitely target us first, protect yourself!”
