Chapter 1783: Chapter 541 Current Stalemate in the East Wilderness_3

Catherine Carter beckoned and said, "Let’s go to the camp. The conditions here are a bit basic, I’m afraid it might be a bit uncomfortable for you..."

...

During wartime, camps weren’t so particular about comfort.

Besides, Leonard Churchill and his two companions were visiting Catherine Carter to discuss top-secret matters, so naturally, they kept everything simple.

The trio entered the camp and, unbeknownst to many, plunged straight into Catherine Carter’s commanding officer’s tent.

Knowing that Leonard Churchill and his party were here on important business, Catherine didn’t call anyone else to follow.

Although there were four people visible in the tent, in reality, there were five.

The presence of a stealthed Seventh Rank assassin, who had been with Catherine since the beginning, was clearly perceived by Leonard and his two companions.

It seemed she was a personal bodyguard.

Upon entering the tent, Catherine immediately noticed a moment of concern on Leonard’s face and took the initiative to say, "She’s the captain of my personal security squad."

As she spoke, she explained the reason, saying, "The Silver Moon Sect has been trying to infiltrate the Allies Headquarters, so no one can meet with visitors alone. This includes me, the overall commander."

While speaking, she also gestured to the ancient Relics around the tent designed to prevent Faith Pollution, shrugging her shoulders with a helpless smile.

"..."

Listening, Leonard also showed understanding.

The Alliance Army consisted of Elite Legions; lacking such protocols would be irresponsible.

The stealthed assassin was not only for safety but also to guard against potential threats of Faith Pollution.

However, the matters they were about to discuss absolutely could not be known to others.

Leonard tilted his head slightly, and Tracy Garcia immediately understood, flipping a Card in her hand and whispering softly, "Spell·Illusion of the Dream God."

The Spell was cast instantly, giving no one any time to react.

An invisible ripple spread throughout the tent, and suddenly the female security guard clad in an assassin’s close-fitting garb became visible standing behind Catherine’s shadow, as if she were half-asleep.

Fearing a misunderstanding, Tracy quickly clarified, "I’ve only put her into a temporary sleep."

"Mm."

Catherine nodded her head.

Of course, she knew Tracy meant no harm.

Yet, witnessing her personal bodyguard so easily subdued surprised her greatly.

This was one of the most formidable Seventh Rank assassins in the Allied Forces, and she fell asleep without any resistance?

Hiss...

She cast a glance at Tracy, her mind filled with awe: How powerful must this Priest Garcia be?

Looking again at the silent Camilla and Leonard Churchill, who had confirmed his promotion to Eighth Rank, Catherine’s expression became complex.

She did not hide her thoughts and praised, "Priest Garcia is really powerful..."

"Miss Carter is too kind," Tracy responded with a nod, without further explanation.

Seeing this, Catherine didn’t say more and invited everyone to sit down.

They were not strangers here, so there was no need for such formal reception.

She took off her military coat and hung it up, then sat down beside them in a white shirt, like in casual conversation among friends.

Leonard then asked, "By the way, Miss Carter, you mentioned earlier about the situation in the Orlan Royal Court?"

With a slight twitch of her eyebrows and a smile that seemed to find the title "Miss Carter" amusing, Catherine responded, "Our Alliance base here was swiftly discovered by people from the Southern Continent, actually due to the scheming of the Orlan Royal Court in the shadows. They want to force us into submission to that King Arthur... They’ve been doing this for a while, but I’ve never agreed. Now, it seems King Arthur has run out of patience to wait, and his movements have been getting more frequent recently."

"..."

Leonard wasn’t surprised to hear this.

The Lionheart Family was already "The First Warlord" in the Eastern Wasteland Federal Government, having stronger military power than the other families, with ample elite troops and resources.

Having come to the Old Continent to form the Alliance Army, and with the support of New World Machinery City’s technological equipment, their strength was not to be underestimated.

The Orlan Royal Court would certainly not easily give up on such a powerful force.

Leonard asked again, "What’s the current situation in the Eastern Wasteland?"

At that question, Catherine’s brow furrowed, and her tone suddenly became very somber, "It’s quite troublesome."

After pondering for a moment, she elaborated in detail: "The Silver Moon Sect has almost completely taken control over the citizens of the Eastern Wasteland. They have also cultivated numerous Seventh Rank card masters with the use of the Moon God’s Illusion Techniques that you, Leonard, mentioned before. With the backing of national resources, the Mechanical Legion has also grown enormously... But fortunately, the World Rift acts as a barrier, so our Alliance Army has only minor troubles. However, the Red Dragon Kingdom’s Iris Legion has run into big trouble... Reportedly, the Ninth Rank Grand Marshal Andre attempted an assassination but failed to find their target, and now hundreds of thousands of troops are in a standoff near Sinless City..."

With that, she detailed the situation in the Eastern Wasteland.

The Eastern Wasteland was in a very peculiar position now.

Due to the Silver Moon Sect, the entire Eastern Wasteland had become a Divine Country.

This placed the invading Iris Legion in a difficult position of being unable to advance or retreat.

The invasion of the Eastern Wasteland was for its abundant mineral deposits and population, as well as the Grand Marshal’s advancement ritual.

Now that nearly everyone in the Eastern Wasteland were Silver Moon Believers, keeping captives was not an option.

Once the Iris Legion attacked a city, their only option was to annihilate it. To kill all the inhabitants and leave behind a ghost town.

Otherwise, it would lead to endless future troubles.

Such annihilation brought fierce resistance and heavy casualties.

Moreover, without slaves to work in the mines, even if the deposits were captured, they could not be exploited.
