Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 966: Chapter 298 Not Like I Haven’t Seen It Before Chapter 966: Chapter 298 Not Like I Haven’t Seen It Before Waren City ruins camp.

The bonfire burned brightly.

A team of Thorny Snake Corps guards listlessly waited near the Twisted Light Gate of the Alternate Dimension.

Calculating the time, the last exploration should also be nearly over.

Not far away, the next team preparing to explore the space was already getting ready.

Accurate intelligence pointed out that among the slaves of the “Waren City Rebel Camp” in this space, some had participated in the construction of King Augustus’s Mausoleum.

And the upper echelons of the Red Dragon Kingdom had issued a death order to obtain clues about the Tomb.

Therefore, this space was absolutely not to be missed.

But everyone knew that uncovering such a subplot outside of the main storyline would be extremely difficult.

Apart from slaves, it would also require the participation of the elite forces of the Thorny Snake Corps.

There had been significant losses for this reason over this period.

The soldiers hung their heads in dejection, whispering among themselves in small groups.

“Sigh… It will be a while before the mercenaries and hunters from the empire arrive. Our Thorny Snake Group might have to clash with this space to the death.”

“Yeah. And who knows how many will die. Last time, Billy was drawn, and I don’t know if he will survive…”

“As long as you choose the City Defense Faction, the chances of surviving are still pretty high. But the intention from the Legion Commander seems to be that the clues from the City Defense Army aren’t very valuable, so the ones drawn to go in next will have to choose the Rebel Faction. It’s said the Rebel Faction starts at an A-level difficulty, and currently the death rate is one hundred percent…”

“Sigh… It’s all because of the defeat at Gold-digging Dock last time. Who knew those guys from the East Wilderness would directly blow up the dock? It seems the Legion Commander is trying to make up for the past failures…”

“Yeah. Hey… look! The space… the space entrance disappeared!”

“Could it be someone has succeeded in a high-difficulty completion?”

“…”

Without any warning, the Twisted Light Gate suddenly vanished.

People watched the disappearing space entrance, shocked for a moment, but then expressions of joy emerged on their faces.

The disappearance of the entrance meant that someone had breached the Alternate Dimension.

Almost instantly, this news spread throughout the entire camp.

It wasn’t just that the Legion Commander, General Heman of the Thorny Snake Corps, personally came to check.

Even from the “mysterious tent” that Leonard Churchill had been keeping an eye on, a majestic Big Beard in court attire emerged.

Elsewhere, near the slaves’ shanties.

The giant Toad inside the Black Iron cage was also awakened by the noise, and its originally lazy, unfocused eyes gradually sharpened with expectation, “That guy really did it, huh…”

It understood better than anyone what had happened.

The disappearance of the Alternate Dimension meant there was a high probability of an S-grade evaluation completion.

Aragon had more than once witnessed heroes tackling S-level difficulty stories and knew all too well that the success rate for such difficulty levels was extremely low.

Even with the information he provided, it still required the corresponding strength, wisdom, and courage to attempt.

The death rate was very high.

“Truly a pleasant surprise… I wonder if Miss Alice survived…”

Aragon felt overwhelmingly emotional within.

He had previously met Leonard Churchill, which was only a slim hope amidst despair.

He really hadn’t expected this spy from the East Wilderness to take the risk.

And to actually succeed.

If it were Aragon, he would also find it hard to believe.

While everyone in the camp was curious about who had cleared the space, the news arrived.

No one returned to the camp.

The person who completed the mission had vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the members of the Thorny Snake Group realized that something was terribly wrong.

Normally, if it were a soldier from the group who completed the mission, they would definitely return to claim credit.

Even if the survivor were a War Slave, they would be bound by the collar and could not possibly escape far.

Yet the reality was, there was no sign of the person who completed the mission appearing; they had disappeared into thin air.

Seeing this, the Toad in the cage finally expelled a breath of relief.

If Alice and the others survived and came out, it meant they had found the key.

Ha ha ha ha.

Aragon laughed heartily within his mind.

It was a moment of relief he hadn’t felt since being captured by the people of the Red Dragon Kingdom.

With this, he could be at ease.

As for his own life and death, that was completely unimportant now.

Just as he thought this, loud shouting erupted throughout the camp.

“Everyone, search! We must find the person who came out from the Alternate Dimension!”

“Pull up all the names of those who have entered the space!”

“Check! Who has been in contact with that Toad recently! Get all those who have contacted it under control, I want to interrogate them one by one!”

“…”

Legion Commander Heman was furious.

Only now did he belatedly realize that the Toad probably tampered with the exploration plan.

….

Elsewhere.

In the pitch-black city ruins, three figures quietly fled into the darkness.

They skillfully avoided various sentry posts, ambushes, and traps, heading towards the deep parts of the Relics.

Leonard Churchill hadn’t just been reconnoitering information while in hiding.

He had already become as familiar with the terrain around Waren Relics as the back of his hand, and had planned numerous retreat routes.

He could even say without modesty that many of the alarm devices near the camp were arranged by his disguised identity “Joel.”

Now those arrangements were coming in handy.

Leonard Churchill led Alice and Allen away without encountering any obstacles, smoothly escaping the Thorny Snake Corps’ defensive perimeter.

By the time the enemy realized, they were already several kilometers away.

Finally, the light of the fires was no longer visible behind them.

In the dark wilderness, the three stopped, finally daring to breathe heavily.
