Chapter 920 -285 Perfect Performance_3
However, this was not for Leonard Churchill to consider.
As he observed along the way, it seemed that there were no Sixth Tier members in the team, but at least there were Fifth Tiers.
He didn’t feel capable of silently killing someone to take their place.
Leonard Churchill observed patiently.
This wait lasted nearly two days.
….
The team in the forest only had twenty or thirty people.
Two days were enough for Leonard Churchill to familiarize himself with each member’s information, habits, and interpersonal relationships.
He had also chosen a suitable target to infiltrate.
Nine o’clock, the appointed time, had arrived.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps arose in the forest, and a team of over a hundred people arrived quietly.
Leonard Churchill knew that the “actors” had taken their places.
To replace someone in the enemy ranks, he would have to kill them first, and without leaving traces.
He couldn’t do it alone; he needed to shake people up.
Two days earlier, Leonard Churchill had sent a message to Catherine Carter, giving her the coordinates of these people.
Now, the reinforcements had finally arrived.
The forest was full of early-warning traps, and the members of the Vanguard Team spotted them immediately.
“Not good! It’s the people from the East Wilderness! We’re surrounded!”
“Breakthrough!”
“…”
A series of dragon’s roars thundered through the forest.
Leonard Churchill watched as those guys transformed one by one into various Dragon Descendant forms.
After observing in detail for two days, Leonard Churchill felt quite impressed by the high average tier of the card masters from the Ariel Empire.
The entire Vanguard Team was composed of card masters of Third Tier and above.
And their strength was not weak.
The Great Dragon was inherently a High-level Being.
Their Dragon Clan bloodline made it easier for them to advance, with various Elemental Affinities and physical strength far surpassing that of normal humans.
For instance, the threshold for the Third Tier to comprehend Elements and condense a Curse Seal is something most Federation card masters could be stuck at for life.
But for these Ariel Empire’s Dragon-blooded Card Masters, it was practically non-existent.
The combat power of this group was such that, under normal circumstances, it could match an entire Federation army of a thousand men.
However, the reinforcements Leonard Churchill had called were well prepared.
In just that moment, all sorts of Curse Cards blasted through the forest like a violent storm.
Wind Blade, Fire Serpent, Earthquake Skill, Quick Sand, Fireball, Ice Spear, Man-eating Vines…
The Elements erupted like a torrent, felling large swaths of trees in the forest.
Although the Vanguard Legion was intent on escaping,
it must be said that these guys used their Curse Cards with much more exaggeration than the Federation card masters, with not only a greater variety and stronger power but also many Secret Skill-level spells the Federation card masters had never seen before.
This was the advantage of having an uninterrupted legacy.
In this chase, it was delicate that the Federation Card Masters did not gain much advantage.
Yet, surreptitiously, someone was controlling this delicate balance.
Seeing this, Leonard Churchill smiled and said, “We have a master here…”
They couldn’t wipe them all out, nor could there be too many casualties, they had to fight evenly matched.
To perform so perfectly, it had to be a master.
At least Sixth Tier, if not a Legend.
But his infiltration plan was top secret, known only to a few.
Leonard Churchill was still wondering who it could be.
Suddenly, he saw a graceful figure appearing beside him.
“Aunt Jones?”
Leonard Churchill hadn’t expected Sophia Jones to come in person.
“Hmm.”
Sophia Jones nodded slightly, a faint smile gracing her stunningly beautiful face.
But this was not the time for chit-chat; she asked directly, “Which one is the target?”
Leonard Churchill succinctly described the features: “Brown hair, the one with the Wolf Fang Dagger.”
He had already observed an assassin-series card master named “Joel” who faced ostracism, had simple social relations, and possessed a combat style that was easy to imitate.
Sophia Jones nodded, “Let’s go!”
The two of them rushed after the target.
By now, the commotion of the battle in the forest had grown intense. Amid the chaos intentionally created, members of the Vanguard Team had been scattered, those couple dozen men fleeing in panic.
With Sophia Jones’s help, they easily killed “Joel.”
Leonard Churchill changed into the man’s clothes, and with a shift of the Clown mask, he had completely transformed into Joel’s appearance.
After observing for two days, his appearance wasn’t the only perfect match; even the color of his Curse Power, dragon scales, and the assassins’ grim and relentless temperament in his eyes were exactly alike.
In the midst of the battlefield, where both sides were still fiercely engaged, nobody realized that one of their own had been replaced.
Even Sophia Jones, who had been watching the whole process, flashed a touch of surprise in her crystalline eyes.
If she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have been able to recognize that it was Leonard Churchill at all.
With time pressing, Leonard Churchill handed over some unnecessary items to Sophia Jones, not daring to delay any longer, and said, “Aunt Jones, I’m off.”
“Hmm.”
Sophia Jones nodded her head.
She herself had experienced the battle at Gold-digging Dock two days ago and felt the strength of the Seventh Tier Dragon-blooded Card Master.
Had it not been for senior Barre Shepherd, several of them legends would have faced serious setbacks.
It was precisely because of this that she fully understood the enormous risks involved in this infiltration mission.
After all, the enemy’s backup forces included genuine Eighth and even Ninth Tier card masters.
That’s why, knowing Leonard Churchill’s plan, she had come herself.
To ensure nothing could go wrong.
Otherwise, even the slightest mishap would prove to be a deadly threat.
A tinge of concern passed through her eyes, but in the end, she only said, “Take care of yourself.”
Leonard Churchill responded with a bright smile, “Will do!”
Adopting another identity, he saw the world through different eyes.
He liked this feeling of hiding in someone else’s shadow.
It was as if he was in “I am the world,” having taken over someone else’s thread of fate and walking it forward.
The thrill of skirting on the edge of destiny’s blade was exhilarating.
…
Before long, a group of people darted into a valley.
The Earthquake Skill collapsed the rock walls around them, and the Venomous Bee Vanguard Group finally shook off their pursuers.
“Good thing we had a backup escape route, those East Wilderness folks probably won’t be able to follow us.”
“Damn it, we lost six brothers! If only we weren’t short-handed, I really would like to go back and wipe out those bastards!”
“Joel, Rote, you two take charge of the lookout!”
“Yes, Captain.”
“…”
An assassin-clad figure stood up in response.
Nobody noticed anything amiss.
This was none other than Leonard Churchill.

Within the team, nearly everyone had injuries, and six men had died.
Convenient!
The friends “Joel” had been relatively close to in the team were not many to begin with, and as chance would have it, they were all dead.
No one else paid any mind to this teammate who had always been on the fringes.
