Chapter 1487 - Chapter 1487 Chapter 455 Leonard Churchill’s Slick Moves

Chapter 1487: Chapter 455: Leonard Churchill’s Slick Moves, Outshining Everyone with Style_3 Chapter 1487: Chapter 455: Leonard Churchill’s Slick Moves, Outshining Everyone with Style_3 Hearing Leonard Churchill’s arrangement, the Witch Captain’s lips slightly curved upward, and she confidently thought to herself, “Hey, it’s the Wing-clipping Strategy after all…”

She didn’t doubt it for a second.

After all, it was the most rational strategy she could think of, and the only one likely to give her opponent a chance to win.

However, reality proved to be quite the spectacle.

On the other side,

the words Leonard Churchill spoke were completely different from what his teammates heard: “This is a desert terrain, which is advantageous to us. Stealth is easily targeted. Let’s proceed with Plan B. Jessica, you’ll act as the ‘bait’… The enemy will definitely attack, David, don’t strike first, take out the guy who comes for the ambush…”

This strategy wasn’t the Wing-clipping Strategy, but a deception strategy!

For absolute fairness and to test the students’ comprehensive abilities, the terrain of the Trial Field was random.

They would only see the environment after they emerged.

This was the foundation of the Royal Academy, able to arbitrarily create different combat environments–forests, deserts, swamps, aquatic zones…

This time, they chose the “Desert Relics.”

Even though they knew that Leonard Churchill could throw his voice, seeing his lips saying one thing and hearing another, Garfield and the others felt slightly strange.

It was not until they heard the complete plan that they realized that “Allen” had already mastered his opponent’s capabilities.

Using his own words, “For such a famous team, coincidentally those individuals are all strong descendants of Grand Knights, I already figured out some of their tactics.”

Yes!

Exactly!

Leonard Churchill had previously observed everyone carefully in the hall.

And those teams who got an “A+” were, of course, especially watched.

These people would likely be the powerhouses of the future.

By chance, members of the Red Dragon Royal Family were too renowned, their heritage even more so.

Leonard Churchill had long heard of them.

Once he saw their surnames, he guessed quite a bit about their heritage families and deduced a lot about their abilities.

He happened to know that the Witch Captain’s mysterious heritage not only included mastering animal languages but also lip-reading.

So from the very beginning, he had been calculating his opponents.

This simple tactic might not deceive high-tier card masters, but it was completely sufficient against a group of teenagers aged thirteen or fourteen.

However, Garfield and his teammates were also teenagers.

The first time they heard these three plans ABC in the rest room, they were utterly amazed.

Could a duel really be played like this?

They had initially thought that after going on stage, they would fight with all their might and leave the outcome to fate.

Unexpectedly, the duel had already started the moment they entered the arena.

And that Plan B…

Was also hard to describe.

As the “bait,” nun Jessica and Lizardman Serli had complex and resentful expressions.

It was their fate being the fragile ones…

Originally, they were supposed to be the main forces for output and logistical support, but now, they were… bait.

In any case, Garfield and the others felt that they definitely could not have come up with such a strategy.

…

Both teams had now entered the field, and the audience’s excitement surged.

The roaring cheers were almost entirely in support of the Red Dragon Royal Family’s team.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, the presence of the Red Dragon team of six was far stronger than that other irregular team.

Yet Leonard Churchill’s tactics could fool the opponents but not the instructors on stage.

One white-bearded old man, looking as if he was still arranging tactics at the last minute, noticed something about “Allen” and murmured with a smile, “Interesting, an interesting little fellow…”

The young instructor next to him hadn’t caught on yet, “Ah, Dean Daniel, what do you mean?”

The white-beard was the deputy dean of the School of Arts, proficient in sound waves; he noticed the trick, explaining, “That kid is pretty slick. The words from his mouth and the sound waves vibrating in the air aren’t the same. He must have used some kind of Secret Skill… He’s trying to mislead the opponents. Hehe, that little witch from the Hobbs family is going to suffer this time.”

“Really now!”

With that statement, several younger instructors nearby were all startled.

They realized then that even before stepping onto the arena, the Landon Family’s team had already started maneuvering against their opponents?

While this surprised the instructors, they also suddenly understood why this team had obtained an “S-tier rating.”

…

The Trial Field was very large, roughly the size of four or five football fields.

Leonard Churchill just watched as such a vast area slowly transformed into a desert with relics.

The stone slabs under his feet also turned into soft sand, and in their field of view, some fragmented boulders appeared that could somewhat serve as cover.

This was the luxury of nobility, using a barrier to change the environment on a large scale–an advanced application of the Elements.

A single energy expenditure was probably equivalent to many ordinary people’s lifetime earnings.

Standing on the sandy ground, the referee was still explaining the rules.

Essentially, there were no restrictions, but no equipment other than those issued by the academy could be used.

Leonard Churchill and his team were watching from one side, and 200 meters away, another team of six was also watching.

Both teams’ gazes met, as if they could spark intense flames.

Inside the team, Leonard Churchill remained composed.

As soon as he saw these people, he immediately entered into a deducing state.

Lines of deduction appeared in his mind, and whether the opponents moved a leg first or used any Curse Card, all were already within his calculations.

For others, the outcome of this battle was unknown.

But for Leonard Churchill, from the moment he stood opposite the six from the Red Dragon Royal Family, the outcome had already been determined.

“Hey hey…”

Seeing the surrounding environment, Leonard Churchill confirmed the last uncertain factor.
