Chapter 1520 - Chapter 1520 Chapter 465 Reunion with the 【Forbidden Ruins

Chapter 1520: Chapter 465: Reunion with the [(Forbidden Ruins Stele)] _2 Chapter 1520: Chapter 465: Reunion with the [(Forbidden Ruins Stele)] _2 Garfield turned his head toward Allen and cast an inquiring glance, “Brother Allen, what should we do now?”

As he spoke, the others also turned their attention toward Leonard Churchill.

If it were the main plot, they would follow the mission prompts to act. But now, they were completely in the dark.

David, guessing what Leonard Churchill was thinking as he stared at the drawbridge in contemplation, suggested directly, “Why don’t I go over and have a look?”

Although he hadn’t thought as thoroughly as Leonard Churchill, he knew that in order to get a breakthrough in the plot, it was necessary to check out the other side of the bridge.

And being the person in the team with the strongest overall physical capabilities, there was no reason for him to hang back.

At that, Gale also said, “Let me go. I’m an assassin, and moving across this chain drawbridge will make less noise.”

Everyone knew there was unknown danger on the other side of the bridge, but at that moment, nobody backed down.

However, Leonard Churchill did not rush to respond.

He was still thinking.

The plot alone wasn’t difficult, the challenge was that behind this trial, there was another force secretly manipulating things.

Without understanding the true intentions of the adversary, rashly entering the fray could easily put them in a disadvantageous position.

Seeing him deep in thought, the five people didn’t disturb him and waited patiently, showing contemplative expressions themselves.

After a long while, Leonard Churchill’s pupils slightly constricted before he finally said, “Going over now is too risky. We need to wait…”

“Wait?”

The others didn’t understand.

They were a bit surprised. The bold fellow who had first proposed exploring the forest at night was pausing when they were about to come close to uncovering the hidden plot?

David and the others were not unaware of the dangers.

But isn’t danger always present?

From entering the forest and fighting all the way here, it seemed no different from before.

Only Leonard Churchill knew that the current danger was the same as before.

After some thought, Serli picked up on Leonard Churchill’s thinking and asked, “Do you mean… wait for others to attack the castle and draw the bandits’ attention, then we go?”

“Yes.”

Leonard Churchill nodded. “The drawbridge is such a crucial passageway, even if it isn’t guarded, there might still be some sort of alarm mechanism. Rushing over recklessly could reveal our position and potentially draw all the bandits’ firepower. So, the best opportunity… is still to wait for someone to attack the castle and draw the bandits’ attention.”

Hearing this explanation, the others thought about it and understood.

Whether it was the Red Dragon Royal Family’s team with Princess Sofia, the Landon Family’s Young Master Sack, or Simon House’s Ferren’s team… they all had the strength to confront the bandit gang head-on.

As soon as dawn broke and the forest fog dissipated, these elite teams would surely try to outdo each other in obtaining a higher trial evaluation by confronting the bandit leaders first.

Garfield frowned and said, “Ah… so we have to wait until daylight?”

Everyone understood the reasoning, but having rushed all night to gain an edge, waiting now seemed to waste the efforts made before.

Others could think of this, and so could Leonard Churchill.

But upon hearing this, his pupils slightly constricted once more, suggesting something deeper, “Perhaps… we won’t have to wait that long.”

…

Having come this far, the great risks accompanied by huge gains had the small team’s morale running high, but Leonard Churchill’s words held back their teammates eager to cross the bridge.

However, since he was the one who spoke, no one said anything else.

After so many incidents, the team had no doubts about Leonard Churchill’s judgment.

They settled down to rest on the stone platform.

About two hours passed, and the night grew deep.

Thick darkness surged out from the Abyssal Rift.

Leonard Churchill had already been sitting in meditation for two hours, motionless.

The difficulty of this Trial Space actually came in two forms.

One was during the day, roughly equivalent to “Normal Mode.”

The second was at night, which was “Hard Mode.”

And from the moment they entered the Alternate Dimension, Enlightenment had hinted that the castle was “haunted” at night.

If the person behind the scenes was aiming for the hidden plot, they would definitely stir up trouble at night.

While Leonard Churchill’s team proved with their strength that elite teams could survive the night, their team, though strong, was not the strongest in terms of overall power.

Several of the great nobility’s guard teams were no worse, and better equipped.

Several strong teams competing in the same space, hesitation would lead to defeat.

Thus, Leonard Churchill was certain that someone would make a big move tonight!

Compared to Leonard Churchill’s calm meditation, the other teammates seemed a bit bored.

Serli adjusted the Curse Cards in his card slots, Garfield polished his armor, David regulated his Curse Power, Jessica prepared her Healing Potions, and Gale played with a dagger…

They had prepared their respective methods, sharpening their metaphorical swords, just waiting for the monsters.

Yet, the night seemed extremely long.

The more they waited, the slower time passed.

However, the unexpected arrived very suddenly.

Without any forewarning, Enlightenment began blaring.

“Silver Fir Village has been attacked and breached by bandits, triggering a Grade B opportunity plot mission, reinforcement to Silver Fir Village to rescue villagers…”

This Enlightenment acted like a shot of adrenaline for everyone, energizing them instantly: “The fight is on!”

But when they saw the content of Enlightenment, their expressions turned awkward.

Wasn’t Silver Fir Village the village they had just left? It had been breached by bandits?

This meant that the thieves had chosen to attack at night.

Seeing the sudden Enlightenment, their expressions turned troubled.

They had waited for the opportunity Leonard Churchill had mentioned.
