Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1465 - Chapter 1465 Chapter 449 Giant Spirit City

Chapter 1465: Chapter 449 Giant Spirit City Chapter 1465: Chapter 449 Giant Spirit City Leonard Churchill was dragged out of the quicksand by his teammates.

The injured Second Order assassin had already fled.

As expected.

Killing them quickly wasn’t feasible, and further prolonging the battle made no sense.

For the assassin, completing his task was more important than killing a few Apprentice Knights, which would only serve to vent his frustrations.

Young Master Sack was no fool; having fought for so long without being detected by the high-order guards of his family, he must have guessed that the forest was covered by some restricting barrier.

Thus, his strategy had been to fight while fleeing, aiming to escape the bounds of the barrier.

Now, seeing the assassin’s haste in the pursuit, Leonard was even more certain that they must already be at the edge of the barrier.

…

Leonard was pulled from the pitch-black quicksand by vines and upon opening his eyes, immediately saw a face covered in lizard scales.

Serli, relieved to see Leonard was alive, quickly asked, “Brother Allen, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Leonard exhaled a murky breath, his face expressing relief at having survived a close call.

Just as he began to speak, he felt uncomfortable from the grit in his mouth and promptly spat out sand with a few “ptoo, ptoo, ptoos.”

David and Gale had already chased after the assassin.

Even if they couldn’t defeat him, they had to pursue.

Serli, being a magic type with slower speed, stayed behind to help rescue.

Nun Jessica was nearby, treating Garfield, who was seriously wounded.

Leonard glanced at him; the dwarf’s tough nature had saved his life.

Although the dagger wound was deep, he was still breathing.

With an advanced potion from Duke Landon’s house and an accompanying priest, he was likely not going to die.

Realizing the situation was under control, Leonard finally relaxed.

Reassessing the situation, they had six people in the team, and miraculously, none had died.

Even more astonishing was that the three who were initially the most likely to be killed, the magic types, were completely unharmed.

The three teammates present also found this incredible.

They had survived the hands of a Second Order assassin?

But now was not the time for lengthy discussions.

Serli quickly asked again, “Should we chase after them now?”

Upon hearing this, Jessica and Garfield also looked towards Leonard.

At this point, how could they not realize, their survival was crucially impacted by his tactical commands.

That tactic might seem simple but setting it up clearly in such an urgent situation required extremely calm judgement and observation.

This was not something ordinary people could accomplish.

At least, they couldn’t.

And although “Allen’s” performance in the fight wasn’t flashy, it was very… special.

Especially that “Quicksand Skill.”

It informed them that a spell intended to trap enemies could also be used to save oneself?

They couldn’t articulate what was so impressive, but subconsciously, they had begun to see “Allen” as the decision-maker of the team.

Leonard didn’t feel that his performance was anything special, and his portrayal was just right.

His persona was designed to be a character with Elemental Affinity, ideally suited to follow the “Wisdom” sequence, a jack-of-all-trades career.

Being a bit more flexible in thinking, it wasn’t surprising whatever sequence of cards he used.

Hearing the inquiry, Leonard knew the current situation didn’t need them to do anything more, but he replied, “Yes. Let’s catch up.”

They had all risked their lives for young Master Sack earlier.

Now that the crisis was over, it was definitely time to show up and earn some credit.

Saying this, the three, along with an injured but ambulant Garfield, bandaged up, followed suit.

…

Visibility was low in the forest, with thick trees everywhere.

Leonard and his group hastened along the path but hadn’t yet seen the battlefield ahead when suddenly, a loud dragon’s roar came from the sky.

In that instant, everyone knew high-tier guards from Duke Landon’s house had arrived.

The Great Dragon in the sky dived rapidly, flapping its wings as it descended into the forest.

The hurricane wind rustled the Dense Forest loudly, and, facing the Dragon’s Might, Leonard’s group intuitively quickened their pace.

Now that the experts had taken control, there was no better time to make an appearance.

In no time, they reached the scene.

Duke Landon’s house’s High-Tier knights, along with Young Master Sack’s mentor, the Seventh Order Witch, had arrived.

David and Gale, who had arrived earlier, stood off to the side.

Seeing their four teammates arrive, they moved quietly closer.

The situation was now being controlled by the family’s high-tier guards; there wasn’t much for these apprentice knights to do.

Jessica finished bandaging Garfield, and looking at David’s chest wound that was turned inside out, also produced a healing potion.

David, although still expressionless, did not refuse.

Meanwhile, the high tier priest from the Duke’s house was treating Young Master Sack’s injuries, which seemed not too serious.

But the young master’s face was very ugly.

Leonard, of course, knew why.

It was because his prized “Curse God Card” was missing.

…

Shortly after Leonard and his group arrived, hurried footsteps echoed through the forest.

A high-tier assassin emerged from the trees, dragging two unconscious figures before Sack, and reported, “Young master, the assassins have been captured!”

Leonard glanced at their attire and immediately recognized them; they were the same two Second Order assassins.

They, who had been chasing his squad fiercely just before, now lay captured like dead dogs before a high-tier card master.

However, Leonard knew well, even if they captured them alive, no further clues could be extracted.

From the moment they chose not to kill Sack, whether these two lived or died, it bore no significance.
